ee is’ oras itwas? If he says “‘as it is," his bat- dle is half won already; if he answers “‘as it was,” he carries us back to 1860, What says Mr. Seymour ? Our Exports of Gold. Since the Ist of January last we have shipped from this port alone about sixty-four millions of specie and bullion against about forty millions for the same period last year, and this has been one cause of the recent rise in gold to 150. Another cause lies in the con- tinued preponderance of our foreign imports over our exports. Thus the foreign imports at this port for the week ending on the 21st inst. were valued at $6,644,290 in gold, while the exports of domestic produce were valued at ‘only $2,772,663 in currency. Here is the secret of our gold exports, notwithstanding that we have exported our national securities to auch an extent during the last few years that it is estimated seven hundred mil- fions of them are. held in Europe at the present time. The stock of gold in the Treasury and the country at large is greatly reduced in consequence of this outward flow of the precious metals to liqui- date the indebtedness resulting from our na- tional extravagance, anda higher premium is therefore to be looked for on commercial grounds. But apart from these the agitation on the financial question which will attend the Presidential canvass can hardly fail to mate- wially advance the price of gold, as the speeches of leading politicians of both parties appear equally likely to create distrust of the public credit and operate in the direction we have indicated. PresipENTIAL Prospecrs.—One Washing- ton correspondent says that the Presidential prospect to the republican party is glorious; another correspondent, referring to the same memoranda, says it is dismal. But we shall have to wait a week for some definite signs from Vermont and Maine. Mr. Fittmore’s Position DkgFINED.--Ex- President Fillmore goes for Seymour and Blair. We were sure of this beforehand, in view of the fact that last summer toa HERALD corre- wpondent, over a meeting with ‘‘the Widow Cliquot,” Mr. Fillmore declared that, in his opinion, Francis P. Blair, Sr., is “‘the great- ost man that ever lived.” NOTES ABOUT TOWN. Why don’t the City Hall ring strike at the old, tickety, rotten Wooden wharves which littorally line the harbor. There are millions—yes, millions of dollars in the job. It is worth a half dozen widen- Ings and extensions of Broadway. If the contracts Bre properly worked up there isnot a man inthe Dity Hall but may retire on a handsome income. Pace the harbor shore lines with granite, and throw wea walis across the East river, making great docks therein, is the dodge. 1t'll pay.

It isn’t true, is it, that ‘he surface people have bought you of? | We saw several bags of white dried peas lying at the door of @ coffee mill in Front street yesterday. br course it was not the intention of the proprietor of the establishment to roast and grind and sell them tor genuine Mocha or Al Java. » We hope it is not true, as we have heard it whis- pered, that the matériel of the Fire Department, not withstanding the most astounding prices are paid Vor it, is at best of inferior manufacture. The en- pines, hose carriages and trucks are half the time at the corporation yard in the hands of the mechanics, while the hose is so rotten thata fair pressure of water is never permitted for fear of bursting it. The Metropolitan Fire Department is the most expensive “ring” in this tax-ridden town, It is altogether too Much of a luxury; and we trust the Legislature at Is next session will so reform it that it will at least Prove useful as well as ornamental to the city. ‘The repaving of Broadway bids fair to be as pro- Cracted a job as was the enlargement of the Battery. Does the city pay for the work by the day or by the square yard? Early in June they got the roadway completed to the intersection of Fulton street, and now they are only as far north of that line as Reade street. Of course, if the world dves not in the mean- time conflagrate and go ap, as the Millerites insist it will—before Gabriel blows his horn—at the rate of block a month, they will get up to the Blooming- Gale road. About that time Seymour will be elected President.

A Now Ruler in Affghanistan—Shere Ali Pro- claimed Ameer, LONDON, August 24, 1868, Telegraphic advices from Bombay, dated this morning, bring information that news had been re- ceived in that city from Northwestern Hindostan to the effect that Shere Ali had been proclaimed Ameer of Afghanistan. Shere Ali’s Afghanistan Policy—English and Russian Interests in Hindostan. The special telegram from India, forwarded to the HERALD by way of London and the Atlantic cable, and Published above, narrates briefly Shere Ali's eleva- tion to the dignity of Ameer of Afghanistan, an event which will be regarded as of great importance in and to Great Britain, in view of the recent con- quests of the Russians in Central Asia and their probable ultimate advance towards the northwestern frontier of the possessions of the English in India, Shere Ali was engaged in war with one or two of the neighboring native rulers during the time of the Russian march on Bokhara, He had also difficulties with some of his own relatives—the family of the late Dost Mahommed—on the subject of his superior claim to the position of Ameer; and, being thus kept prominently before the public eye in the East, his friendship became a matter of importance to the two great nations, Russia and England, « In supreme rule in Affghanistan, Shere Ali can en- courage and aid the Russians, or, on the contrary, place himself as a barrier between them and the British; and it is more than feared in London that the Ameer is secretly favorable to the Russians. Affghanistan has been deeply disturbed of late and reliable information diMcult of attainment. Late Indian advices, however, assert that by the advice and with the consent of the Russians Ameer Shere Ali assumed the title of Ameer of Khorassan in addition to that of Ameer of Afghanistan, and it was the current opinion in Cabool, last May, that the Russians meant to advance on India. The reason for this opinion is to be found in their cash expendi- tures, amounting to millions of roubles, and in their vast accumulation of war stores. Preparations such ag these would not, it was said, be required {or the conquest of ‘urkestan, During the fighting in the early portion of the month of June, Shere Ali, Huzara, one of the chiefs of Ameer Shere Ali, who was with the army at Khe- lat, determined to make a night chuppao or attack upon the camp of Mahommed Surwur Khan. He set out with four hundred sowars and fell upon the camp near Mokur, but as Azim Khan’s troops were on the alert he was repuised with the 1oss of twenty ofhis men. The heads of these poor creatures were Struck off and carried to Cabool, where they were set up to strike terror into the people and Ameer Azim Khan’s enemies, the friends of Shere Ali. Shere All’s Claim, Ofthe hereditary claim of Shere Ali to the rank and power of Ameer of Affghanistan, and in iilustra- tion of its effect in the resuscitation of the once potent name and family of Dost Mahommed and the “fiery? Akbar Khan—such a formidable enemy to Britain during the Afghan war—we present to the readers of the HERALD a most interesting letter on the subject, written in June last by the Sirdar Abdgol Rahman Khan, Between the 8th and the 12th of June, Ameer Azim Khan wrote urgent letters to Sirdar Abdool Rahman Khan asking him to send him men and money to enable him to resist the forces of Ameer Shere All, advancing again on Cabool. He observed they first reached Mokur and were encamped at Karabagh, only two coss from Ghuzncen. The Sirdar wrote in reply:— My grandfather Dost Mahommed Khan, of bleased memory, made Shere Alf Ameer during his life- time, and gave at the same time Balkh to my father, Balkh is now in my possession, and Shere Ali ought to be supreme chief over all, [ would advise you to leave Cabool,twhich properly belongs to Shere Ali, and to return to Koorrum and Koosut, which are your own. What is this enmity and quarreling that yon are stirring up between the men of your own jouse? He who was made chief by Dost Mahom- med you should accept. But if you cannot to this, do what 7 can of your own power. I will not and cannot heip you, «You are my uncle, but then so is Ameer Shere All. How shall I then prefer one to the opbet ? 1 cannot but consider it evil that you should eb his inheritance from him. This letter is said to have made Azim Kahn exces- sively atgry, arid Sauised itil tg heap impre- cations on the head of Abdool Rahman. * The forces of Azim Kahn, amounting to two thon- sand men, horse and foot, were then encamped near Ghuzneen at Sheikabad. Shere Ali was on his way to Candahar. The road between Candahar and Cabool was closed and a number of cossids perished in endeavoring to get through; bat it oppears as if the new Ameer persevered and gained the object of his amabition. TURKEY. Luperial Honor to the United StatesBritish Banquet to Admiral Farragut, Lonpon, August 24, 1968, The Levant Herald of Constantinople, dated on Fri- day evening, reports that the Sultan of Turkey, in imperial honor to the United states and as a personal compliment to Admiral Farragut, permitted the American war ship Franklin to pass through the Dardanelles to the Golden Horn—a special mark of his royal consideration.

A slight shock of earthquake was felt at the capi- tal on Friday, August 14, No Minister to the United States had as yet been appointed, Senor Altamirano is mentioned as likely to be named for the position. Senor Palacio will probably succeed Senor Te- jada in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. A conducta of two and a half millions had gone to Vera Cruz from the capital. The reinforcements latterly demanded by General Alatorre amounted to five thousand. The Totonac rebel chieftain General Lucas was still in the moun- tains and the bandit Chavez was yet marauding through the district @ Lagos. Bocardoand Jimenez had routed the troops of Colonel Prieto, and the lat- ter formed a junction with Colonel Dominguez, who had also been roughly handled by the same govern- ment commanders.

THE NEW DOMINION. Report of the Nova Scotia Delegates Sent to England in Reference to the Confederation Scheme. HALIFAX, August 24, 1868. Parliamentary papers have been brought before the House which embrace brief reports of the dele- gates, all the papers prepared in England and the legal opinions of Sir Roundell Palmer and Vernon Harcourt. The latter dimers widely from Mr. Wil- kin’s constitutional arguments. The delegates sub- mitted six questions, The answers are in substance as follows:—First, there is no limit to the powers of imperial legislation over a colony like Nova Scotia. Second, the authority of the imperial Legislature being absolute cannot in any legal sense be dependent on the consent of the col- ony. Third, the preamble of the Union act is important jas evidence that the imperial Legislature did not intend to exere! powers, but acted on the supposed colony. If the fact of such consent be disproved, that may afford a valid argument for repeal, but cannot affect the legal validity of the statute. The fourth question is embraced in the filth and the same gnswer applies. The fifth resolutiod of the Nova Scotia Legislature, in 1866, authorized the dete- gates to neyotiate the union of all the provinces, but pre no right to arrange a scheme leaving out New- foundland and Prince Edward Island. This defect would be cured by the subsequent ratification of the delegates’ acts by the Legislature, Sixth, the impe- rial acts by the Legislature did not assume to extin- guish the constitution of Nova Scotia or tinpose a new form of government without consent, To do so would be an extreme exercise of power, GEORGIA. The Legislature—Edict Against Political Ore gaanizationsThe Successor of Bradley in the Senate, ATLANTA, Angust 24, 1868, The following resolution was introduced in the House to-day:— Whereas numerous organizations throughout the State exist in open hostility to the peace and good order of the State, threatening violence and in many inst ‘opposing the exe: cution of civil laws; and whereas the leaders of the anid or- gai rot the State ‘or making such demo present ctvil government is not sufficiently organized to prevent insurrec- tionary demonstrations; therefore Resolved, That the Governor be requested to {asue @ procia- mation requiring the discontinuance of such uniawful assem- Diages and requiring the faithful execution of the laws by the civil officers. ‘The resolution in the Senate to reconsiaer Its ac- tion in regard to the seating of Lester (democrat) in beng pe of Bradley (colored) was ruled out of order By ¢ chairman, a6 Lester had been aiready sworn in. £x-Governor Brown approves of the action of the Senate in seating Lester. Action of the Legislature Regarding State Bonds and the State Bank, . CoLuMBuS, August 24, 1868, The Republican denies the recent telegraphic re- port that the Legislature proposes to repudiate a class of State bonds and seize the assets of the State Bank which are pledged to pay them. Only the profits of the bank are pledged to pay the bonds, and the bank has no profit, The bonds are secure, with or without this law. The law, if possible, strengthens them. The explanation of the matter is that the Legislature of 1865 appropriated the assets of the dank to foreign bondholders, depriving the bill- holders of theif prior claim. anon bill reverses that action and protects the billholders as creditora ofthe State, : - ppt Address of Chariedeulane to the President The Dangerous Condition of the City.

General Sherman says:—‘This amounts to war, but I hope only on a small scale.” He further says:—“The Sioux at the North remain quiet. If the President does not approve my action notify me promptly, but I deem further forbearance with the Indians impossi- ble.’? This despatch was communicated to the Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs. General Mix, Acting Com- missioner, submitted a report to the Secretary of tne Interior, which has been sent to the War Depart- ment. He reports that he has recetved no official information in reference to the alleged massacre. He says “the innocent should not suffer for the guilty,”’ but that General Sheridan has the right to carry out to the letter his order, so far as the guilty Indians are concerned, and adds—‘‘Those gnguged in the murders should be punished and be taught a lesson immediately." s At # late hour this afternoon a despatch was re- ceived from Superintendent Murphy to the Indian Bureau, in which he says he has received unoMcial information that a Mr. White and several others had been killed by a party of Northern Cheyennes and Arrapahoes. He will communicate the offictal facts a8 soon a4 received. In view of all the facts the President again in- formed Secretary Schofield that he approved the rigid course pursued by General Sherman. A War Inevitable—Suggestions of Old Trap- vers for its Vigorous Prosecution WASHINGTON, August 24, 1868, The, Perilous aspect of our Indian affairs is a ques- tion of growing importance here at the present time. The prevailing opinion among those who have a knowledge of the Indian character, and there are a number of old prairie velerans here now, is that we are on the eve of a long and desperate Indian war; and that it depends on the policy of war- fare adopted by the government whether it shall be short and decisive or iong and exhaustive, These Western men, who have spent their lives among the Indians, and who are familiar with the country inhabited by them, assert that the present pursuit of the hostile Indians by General Sheridan not result in any success, as the Indians, with their superior facilities for locomotion can move much faster than the troops, and that they are heading across the Arkansas river for the plaina, in which wilderness they can with the greatest ease elude every movement of the government forces, They say that the probability ts that the scouts of the pursuing force will come upon some village or encampment of friendly Indians or those who have not yet con- sented to join the disaffected tribes, and in their ardor will commit some act of violence toward them which will cause a general uprising throughout the whole Indian country, In an event of this kind it was long ago settled in council among the Indians that their women and children shall be taken to the interior of the Staked Plains, where they believe they will be perfectly safe, after which the warriors and braves will be free to carry on the war in their most approved style. A suggestion Is about to be made to the govern- ment that several of the oid residents among the Indians, Avho have had ample military experi ence, be commissioned to the command of regiments of two battalions, each to be composed of friendly Indians and of white men inured to the wilds of the Far West, to be mounted upon indian ponies, these battalions to move as lightly as the Indians them- selves and to oppose the Indian forces with their own methods of fighting. This plan, it is claimed, is the only one on which the hostile tribes can be brought to’ submission and peace within a reasonable time and ata moderate expense. The plan in question proposes to ase the troops of the regular army to garrison military posts affd departments of supplies, and to hold the ground recovered.
