2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sunpax, June 17, 1866. Gold, which, according to an eminent local authority, ought never to rise above 128 1-10, closed on Saturday at 1604, notwithstanding the Treasury sales of thirty-five millions in May, Although Speculation aggravated this fapid upward movement, 1t was almost entirely duc to Jogitimate influences—namely, those of supply and de- mand, We have exported since the beginning of last month about forty-one million three hundred thousand dollars in gold, and this unprecedented drain still con- tinues, The Treasury of tho United States held on the Ast instant $50,679,959 in coin, including $22,668,320 ropresented by gold certificates of deposit in the hands of the public. ‘The banks of this city, according to their last weokly statement, held $15,921,663, We have herea total of only $66,501,622 im the hands of the government and in the banks at the great financial centre of the country, A war is throat ened in Continental Europe, in which Prussia and Italy aro likely to take part against Austria, and in all Europe probably about three hundred and fifty millions of our wsoourities, nailonal and otherwise, are held. At first wight the prospect may appear perilous, but in reality it ig far less so than if the premonitory symptoms of war were not visible in Europe and this country were threatened with war, As it is, we are at peace and re- covoring with rapid strides all that we lost by the rebellion. Our revenue receipts, including custome, aro at the rate of uearly flve hundred millions ws year, and the public credit never stood higher than at present. We are entirely aloof from European compH- cations, and our money market is guarded from foreign influonces by the legal tender act, What we have usu- ‘ally regarded as our weakness proves under existing circumstances to bo our strength. Had it not been for the fuct that we are ou a paper money instead of the normal specie basis, the drain of gold which has taken Place during the last six weeks would have created a Gisastrous revulsion here, involving the suspension of wpecic payments by every bank inthe country, The dark days of 1837 and 1857 would have been repeated, and a wail of commercial anguish would have been heard from Maine to Texas, How different the caso now is we have already ex- perienced. Forty-one millions of gold have left our shores to replenish the impoverished coffers of our foreign creditors without causing @ monetary spasm; for we must except that which was due to the secret sales of gold at a low price by the Treasury, the details of which the public is still lookimg for, and to investigate which we trast Congress will appoint a com- nilttee, Paper money has been a financial breast- work which has protected us against the dangerous esfects of @ sudden drain of gold, and which will enable us to successfally resist the shock of foreign war. Gold, {t 18 true, has soared to a higher premium than has been reached before since March, 1865; but gold is acom- modity eubject to tue same laws as regulate the price of anything lee, and we can carry on our internal trade and exchanges independently of the premium at which it may be selling. The latter only affects the currency price of articles of foreign importation, and in some de- «re. of those we export largely. But it must be admit- ted that all prices have a tendency to risv sympathetl- cally with those of foreign goods, although not to nearly the same extent, This isin part duo to tho rise in the price of breadstuffs and other exportable commod tice, which are higher in proportion than non-exportable commodities, owing to their having a forcign as well as a domestic market open to them. Now it stands to reason that if war breaks out in ¥urope the Germans and the Italians will scek security for their property by transferring it to countries remote from the complicatioas of the conilict, and foremost for both safety and profit among the securities of all nations #tand those of the United Siates. The belligerent na- tions, Prussia probably not excepted, will suspend specie payments, and specie will flow away from them just as xt did“from this country during the war, The demand for our breadstuffs and other articles of export will be largely stimulated in Europe by the with- drawal of men from industrial pursuits for war purposes, and at the same time the tide of immigration hero will probably bo quickened and @ now impulse imparted to our agricultural and manufacturing industry, Great Britain was never so prosperous, and speculative enter- prise with ber was never greater than when the wer raged in the United States, and to some extent the threat. nod war in Europe will affect us similarly, and, having more to gain than to lose by it, there ia no good reason why wo should regard it with dread. ‘The extremo fluctuations of the gold market in each month since the suspension were as under:— 1863, — 1962. The stock market was dull during the wook, owing partly to the diversion of business to the gold room, but prices were well mainiained, except for Erie. The clos- ing quotations on Saturday wore as followa:—!

Asin the event of a European war the business end earnings of our miiways would be largely increased, and vorn, which is now used as fuel in the West, would find its way to the seaboard for exportation, there would be reaaon to look for a legitimate rise in the value of railway stocks, while even now, os the rise in gold has a strong Influence in stimulating exports, a practical ergument is furnished in favor of the same theory, and consequently of a sympathotic rise in prices. Money was offored to the Stock Exchange im excess of the demand at 4 a 5 per cent at the close of the week, and the prospect is favorable to prolonged ease at this veatre. Foreign exchange closed dull and rathor heavy. The {imports at this port are preponderating largely over the exports, those for the week ending Jane 15 having been valaod at $9,055,746.

There has thus been a considerable contraction in the movement of gold this yoar. # The Boston Traveller of last evening says:— The week closos as it began, with an overflowing money market, and with more lenders than borrowers of currency. The deposits inthe banks are so large that they cannot be omeinraerad employed, as there is no disposition to lend on long time. Loans on call, based upon substantial securitios, are easily obtained of institutions and capitalists at five and six per cent, and occasionally at four, on pledges of government bonds. ea.uent 003 1,246,681 OOMMERCIAL REPORT.

GeneralsSteedman and Fullerton complete here their investigation of the State of Georgia. They have visited Savannah, Thomasville, Augusta, Atlanta, Macon and Columbus. From the extensive nature of their mission 1t would be impossible for them to touch at every point of interest without prolonging the trip far beyond rea- sonable limits, They are obliged, so to speak, to “gample" a State by tapping a few of the representative districts, and in this way they derive an idea of the feel- ing of the community at large. Even with this mode of progression, with constant travelling and incessant work, it will probably be far on in July before we reach Texas, the limit of our tether. Southern rail ways are not favorable to rapid travelling. Sixteen miles an hour is the extreme limit of their sp:ed, ten miles the avorage. Every hundred miles traversed represent ton hours of physical agony spent in jolting over badly laid roads, the metals of which bave proba- bly been bent up by Sherman, and are very imperfectly straightenod out—a dreary monotony diversified only by breaking a coupling, running over a stray bullock, or running off the track. In this uncomfortable manner, without sleeping cars or any of those luxuries which re- duce the discomforts of travel in tho North toa mini- mum, we have made more than three thousand miles in the two months over which our journeyings have ox- tended, and have disposed of five out of the eleven States down on the programme. From Georgia we pro- ceed to Alabama, commencing at Montgomery to-morrow. CONCERNING GRORGIA. There are 350,000 freedmen in Georgia, but, greatly to the credit of the administration of the Freedmen's Bu- reau, only 1,223 of this number are depend:nt upon the government for support. I noticed in a formor letter the vastly different systems of government in- cluded in the one term, ‘“Freodmen’s Bureau,” pointing out that every State had its peculiar system, differing as widely from the system of the adjoining States as do the laws and social customs of South Carolina and Massa- chusetts, The organization of the Froedmen’s Bureau in Georgia resembles nothing we bad previously seen. The policy pursued by General Tilson, the Assistant Com- missioner, has been to carry out the objects of the Bureau under the a@gis of the State government, The sub-agenta of the Bureau, two hundred in number, are appointed undor powers conferred upon General Til son by a resolution of the State Convent! They thus become virtually petty magistrates, and being citizens of the State, selected for their high character for honor and uprightness, they create no prejudice among the whites, and generally act with perfect fatrness and justice towards the blacks. There is no idea of any coercivo interference of the federal government with the internal affairs of the State, which in Virginia and elsewhere produces a feel- ing of hostihty and opposition to the Bureau, while the power of interferenco is ali the whilo retained intact. It is the mailed hand under the kid glove. In every case where outrages on freedmen neccssitate interference General Tilson calle first on the sheriff and the civil authorities, puts thom in tho ind and backs them up with fodera! soldiers.
