"Hermes," the intelligent correspondent of j ' : ll.a Charleston Mercury, assigns die following ' reasons for the recent advance in gold : Gold advanced -10 pet cent, yesterday.

And this is p rem sal y what it lias done : a law of conscription has passed, by | which that portion ol lite Federal at my whose ' teima of enliat'iienU will shortly expire may he , forced to keep their present positions in-the ranks, and hy which the I're.-idenl may make whalevai lurther drafts on the rest of the population he may find necessary to continue the | war indefinitely. In addition to this. Congress I adopted a measure which will add at least Five , hundred million* of dollar* to the treasury.? Ta us is Abraham Lincoln armed with lull pow- . ?r and means to caivy ou his vindictive war , against us, on a scale fully as gigantic as that upon which it is now conducted. That lie will . avail himself ol this power and iheao means, no ' one can doubt ; that all ol the Northern Slates will submit to these measures, may be moie j questionable. The probabilities, however, I would seem to be, thai the war, in the absence, ol foreign complications, will iaat at least another year, and the South should prepare accor dmgly. We should dismiss for the present all i thought* of peace, and prepare to resist, through ! I the coming Spring and Summer, some ol the moat desperate attempts to effect our subjugation that ha* Jfti been tnade by a battled and siaxpcratod foe. From the Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Herald we copy mis paragraph ; "U is understood that as aoou as the Conscription bill shall have passed the House, there will be a call made for six or eigtit hundred thousand men. it is expected that the soldiers whose term of Mrvice is about expiring, will oiler Uieuissivea a* aubatitutea (or the unwilling 1 conscript*."

Thousands of families throughout the Confederacy are now suffering the inconveniences of an inadequate supply ot pro. rislous. I-art year the aica of territory devotod to the rearing of crops was more extensive ihun it wiil probably be tliis year, as our military lines have been to some extent drawn in. { bust year there were more laborer* than there :an be (bid year, an many bare been tailed into j service since (lie In.-1 ciop wus made, If, lliea, I wad important llmt all the uvaib.blc ugricul. .nral labur in (lie countly be devoted to lite I Halving of piovisious hut year, bow niucb inoie j mpoi tant is it ibid year, when our planting i irca is curtailed and our laborers vastly dimiii* i abed in number. Our ugiicultural friends should seriously con1 j lider the question ot supplies loe another year. J Pile salvation ol the country may depend upon heir response to it, and with the late ol the ! ountry, whatever >t may be, is involved their ! ndividual interests.
