This may all be done within a few days; but it may be the work yet of several weeks, Let our readers remember their anxieties for many days and weeks concerning Vicksburg, but that Vicksburg succumbed at last, and they will feel easy in reference to Richmond, of which Petersburg is the back door. We have received a parpblet and a very well written communication favoring the idea of the “Women’s Patriotic Asscciation for Di- minishing the Use of Imported Luxuries.” The communication fs accompanied with « polite request that we shall publish the same in “the Henan, as it will do more good than fn any other paper.” We have no doubt of that. But let these patriotic ladies consider for a moment the Heratn’s position. It is not a vehicle for the transmission of intelligence that may lead in any manner toward the im- pairment of the government credit, much less to give aid and encouragement to the enemy. By publishing the communication, and giving even an abstract of the pamphlet accompanying i we should do both. The ladies of New Yori, in their very praise- worthy efforts to assist the government in this awful contest, have been strangely misled. They have been the dupes of interested poli- ticians, whose ambition is to secure the favor of the ladies, preseming upon thoir smiles to win partisan distinction. They should not allow themselves to be thus hoodwinked. The ladies of our country are teo sensible to be capable of a political indiserotion, when guided by proper counsels. It is true they do not vote; but they command votes, and if we ave not much deceived many of them have been sirewd political managers. This class ere sometimes sagacions; but their gentle spirits and noble souls are better attuned to the cultivation of those arts which captivate mankind than in meddling with the political affairs of the day. We do not pretend to lecture the ladies of New York who have sclected the Irxanp as their especial champion in this matter of di- minishing the pse of imported luxuries. We simply wish to remind thom kindly of a few stubborn facts. They are briefly as follows:— The politicians who have offered them their pretentious aid have neglected to inform the that the credit of the government is based upov its ability to pay its debts, or the interest of its debts, in gold. Upon this basis the credit of ats, at homme and abroad. Without a solid basis of this sort the revenue of the country would be in a worse condition than that of Mex'eo when the Frevch fleet, under Prince de Joinville, bombarded the chief maritime Mexican city, Deprive the govern- ment of its revenves from impotts, which are payable in go'd, and the Treasury is thus far deprived of & very solid source of credit. TEx- cepting from our mines, the only material source from which the government receives gold is from the customs, Reduce the customs, and you reduce the receipts of gold from that channel, Surely the tadies who have this mat- ter in hand do not wish to entbarrass the gov- ernment in its receipts of gold? They cannet desire to close an avenne through which this golden tribute flows. Dy stovping their pur- chases of foreign goods, our American ladies, however well meaning their in- tentions, haye innocently made an effort to do an injury to the credit of the country which, in their calmer and pleasauter moods, they would hesitate to do. Now, what do these estimable iadics of New York know about political economy! Do they not know more about domestic economy? Would they not better adorn their station by examining into the economy of tleir kitchen tban by dabbling in a matter which politicians, and many of them of the worst sort, make an especial hobby? Politics, at best, is a poliuted pooi, and no lady can safely approach it with- out depriving herself of many of those charms which all men delight to honor: and in this cage they should be careful to notice that ac- companying their intentionally patriotic efforts isan underlying scheme for some idle male vagabonds to make money. In any event, they must cee that, presuming they succeed, all they save by not purchasing foreign fabrics they keep in gold from the ional treasury, the basis of the nation’s wealth and credit. in the spirit of kindness we admonish these ladies to look a little deeper into the merits of the enterprise they have undertuken, and stop before the vile current of politics loads them toward worse and more unwomanly ends, It is a bad principle in either political or domes- tic econemy to “lei in at the spiggot and out at the bung.” Gown Is Wass. Since the passage of the Gold bill by Congress, buying and sell- ing the precious ine! l have cons seit i Pe the Stock Exchange. There are no longer aay official quo- ns of Its price, A few reckless apeculaters, y of them with more sympathy with Jeff. Davis than the Union cause, have taken advan- (age of ti.is condition of affvirs, and ore announc- ing gold at all prices from two hundred to two bundred and thirty. Others have Increased the «x itement for the purpose of ac- complishing the repeat or a modifica tion of the new law. The copperhead press yesterday morning quoted it as high as two bundred and ten, and endeavored to make the public believe that the rise was cauced by the failure of General Grant in his opera- tions on Petersburg. The effect of the Gold bill has furnished the secesh sympathizers with a splendid opportunity to rush through the siveats and keep up @ clamor and bluster, an- nouncing gold at any price they choose. That is tho business that they are engaged ia just now, which explaint the whole affair, Ley one of our merchants visit Wall stroot with ten thousand dollars of gold to seli, and ho will very soon ascertain that guld is not bringing any euch price as tho veoesh wtreet brawlers quote it at, The rbeurd Jegisiation of Congress hen surely interfered with the legitimate business of our merchants, Importers are unable to purchase foreign exchange to meet their debts abroad, Those who have been dealing in that articls refuse to sell; for they are unable to tell how thoy can meet their obligations in gold. The foreign exchange dealer, in fact, declare that their occupation, like Othelio's, is gone. ven if there was any foreign ex- change to be had, the importers would be com- polled to take @ basket of groenbacks through the ctroot to vurahewe W witli fer the Gold Pll. prohibits their using their own checks ang purchase exchange, ‘This has had such a serious effect upon the business and commerce of the city that the merebants and bankers called a meeting yesterday to take such action as would secure a modification of the bill by Congress, For the details of this meeting we refer our readers to the report in anothe: columa. Itisto be hoped that some action will be immediately taken by Congress which will relieve the legitimate business of the country from the ruinous ewbarrassment, and that hereafter it will be allowed to proceed without any further clogs of the kiad. Operations on James Ktiver=The Fatlure Our Iron-Ciad Navy. It {s announced in the news from the James river that Generale Grant and Butler visited Admiral Lee, on one of the gunboats, on Satur: ‘day last. What took place at this interview between the Lieutenant General aad the com- mander of the James river flotilla we of course do not know; but we know very well what ought to have taken place; and we can only hope that the presence and the words of the victorious commander of our armies may bave stirred up Admiral Lee to a sense of his posi- tion, and inspired him to make some attempt, even though a lame one, to go forward to the porformance of his plain duty in opening the James river, and taking his iron-clads to the wharves of Richmond city. There is no disguising the fact that, under their present commander, the James river gunboats are haviug a shamefully eaxy time of it. They are ignominiously compelled to look on in idleness, while the army loses efght or ten thoneand men in a glorious struggle that they should have rendered unnecessary. It is reported that even Commodore Goldsborovgh has growled at the inactivity of the gunboots on the James river. But, as if mere idleness were not enough, Admiral Lee has just performed ar act that, we donbt not, has called an honor- able blush to the cheek of every officer in his fleet. He bas sunk boats in the river—ob- structed the channel—to prevent the rebel rams from getting out at his ships. He hus iron- clad vessels enough to blow every ram in the confederacy to atoms; but he is a'raid of the trial, If he fears to meet these vessels down the river where his own boats lie. when may we expect that he will go up the river and_fight them where they are supported by batter’ shore? If it be urged against his advance up the Jaries that the obstructions are dangerous and tho vhe fire of the forts is too severe, it must n be admitted that iron-clad vessels are a failure, and that the immonse sums spent ia tueir construction have been thrown away. Narly in the war Admiral Dupont silenced shove batteries under a terrible fire with only wooden ships. . Admiral Farragut went to New Orleans despite obstructions in the river, and running the fire of perfectly constructed torts, all with wooden ships. He ran the fire of the Port Hudson batteries with wooden ships: aud Porter ran past the formidable and well served Vicksburg batteries with even the army trens- ports. If go much more can be done by some commanders with wooden ships than can be by others with iron ones, we ought cither to | waste no mere money in the constriction of iron ships, or we ou rht to change comu suders, | a We do not object to Admiral Lee becanse he is a relation of Mr. Blair, nor ye! because he is #Virginian; but we do object to him | because he has no energy in the discharge of his most obvious duty, and because he is for { that simple reason palpably unfit for the in- { portant poatior he now Sopapics, NEWS FROM NORTH CAROLINA. @he Prize aca Pevensey—A British Rebel Privatcer of Sixteen Gans Ft- ting Out at Bermada—The Blockade and the Bioctiadors, &e.
