MILITARY DISARMAMENT.
Tlie disbanding of troop 9 after a war of
any duration releases and set 9 afloat a vast
amount of superfluous energy. Those who
compose Hie rank and file may fall back to
their old positions without much difficult}'.
Labour may be in notwithstanding
' the waste of capital by war. The avenues
of employment must be filled. The tillers
of the soil— the. workers in cloth, wool and
leather — the scribe, handicraftsman, profes
sional man, be his vocation religion, law or
medicine—will fall into their natural places
when social disorganization has given place
to order and repose.
But what will become of that large class
who hold commissions ? Where will they
find that congeniality oi pursuit to winch
they haye been accustomed ? Where will
they seek those employments kindred to
the pomp and circumstance of glorious war?
To find congeniality in the ranks of society
would be impossible. It must be sought i«
the enterprise, the daring, the hazards, and
excitement of arms. If there is no war on
hand the strong probability is that one
will he made. Our gallant chevaliers will
not flesh their swords until they have satis
fied their aspirations. Filled with the spirit
of chivalrous adventure,it is not be expected
that they will blend with the masses, and
sink their distinctive characteristics in the vul
gar pursuits of the undistinguished crow’d.
The question is, therefore, one of great in
terest and curiosity, where shall our numer
ous body of officers turn to find n field for
their ambition and a genial sphere for their
enterprise alter their disarmament? Will it
be Mexico or Canada? Will they join the
disaffected in some country that is ready for
revolt, and thus carve out their destiny with
their swords ? -
History is full of examples which show'
that military habits will not be controlled by
an innate sense of social propriety. Oue w’ar
is frequently the parent of another. The war
between Mexico and the United States soon
followed that between the former and Texas.
The turbulent spirits who had acquired the j
licentious liabit9 of military adventurers
wrere not satisfied to return to pacific pur
suits after the close of the conflict when they
had marched to victory under the banner of
Houston, and whetted their appetite for
plunder by the spoils won in that conflict.
In the same manner the Filibustering, first
under Lopez, and then under Walker in Cen
tral America, were the natural fruits of that
licentious spirit which the Texas war had
engendered. The aversion to return to civil
pursuits, after a w T ar o£ four years duration, i
leaves no alternative but predatory and ir
regular enterprises to satisfy ambition or the
lust of plunder,
Not that w T e w'ould compare the officers of
the American army with the leaders of that
border population of the South-west, who
invaded a country with w'hich the United
States were at peace, and plundered it under
the mask of patriotism—but such is the ten
dency, after a four years w ar, to irregularity
that more than ordinary moral restraint is re
quired to render the case of our disbanded
officers exceptional. * *
From Augusta. —Late intelligence from
Augusta represents that city to be in a very i
unsettled and chaotic Condition. Living is ■
terribly high, and the destitution and suffer- !
ing among the middle and lower classes is
almost incredible. The universal prayer
of the masses of the citizens and of the
refugees who have overcrowded the town,
is, that a Union force may speedily come,
and place the city under the United States
Government. Many prominent officials have
left the city and others are about to leave.
The Naval Brigade ”is disbanded. The
men arc wearied and disgusted with the war
which has now sufficiently proved itself a
disastrous failure ; the war-spirit exists only
among the women.
John 11. Taylor who has amassed a for
tune of four millions in the blockacTe-run-
ning trade, is now in Augusta, where large
stocks of Ills goods are being sold at auction.
They bring enormous prices in gold. Tay
lor is said to he living in a style of princely
magnificence in the midst of. the squalor and
distress common among the inhabitants, and
having bought his own exemption, is using
Ills money to force his poor neighbors into
the arm}-.
Prices are now extravagant beyond all
precedent,in Augusta: for instance: pins are
SIOO a paper; needles SSO; calico SIOO a
yard: salt $lO a pound; flour SI,OOO a bar
rel; gold 100 for l. '
Ir is a curious, but, nevertheless, reliable
tact, that among, the prisoners captured from
the Rebels in the late engagements before
Petersburgh, on the 25th ult., were a number
who had been released from the prison at
Point Lookout on the 17th. Davis gives his
released men no furloughs.
Tun honor ot first raising the Stars and
Stripes in Richmond belongs to the Fourth
Massachusetts cavalry.
Lauu\ Thompson has just finisheda bust
ot Bryant. Tne treatment of this work is
classic in its truthfulness, skillfulness and
marked simplicity.
NBWS
Mobile Captured by Gen. Canby!
COXTOSKBUS, OA., TAEBN BY
GSN. THOMAS.
Capture of Montgomery and Ufaula,
Friday, 1 P. M.
By a deserter from the Rebel army, Mr.
Iverson Duprez, and from a refugee, a native
ol Pulaski County, this State, who arrived
in the city less than an hour ago, we learn
that Mobile was captured last week, proba
bly on Saturday, by Geueral Canby, w T ho it
is known has been very successful in his op
erations against that city. The strongest
defensible fortification, Spanish Fort, fell
into our hands after a severe struggle and
heavy loss on both sides, as reported by us
several days ago.
We get, as yet, no particulars, only the
one main glorious fact that Mobile itself has
fallen before our besieging armies. What
officers, prisoners, stores, etc., fell into our
hands, we do not as yet know.
Columbus, Ga., was also captured on
Thursday last, by Thomas’ cavalry, after a
very severe fight, with Forrest’s Trappers.
We hope to be able to give particulars in a
subsequent edition.
Four or five hundred of Forrest’s men
were captured by Gen. Thomas’ cavalry.
Ufaula, Ala., was also captured, and Mont
gomery w'as also reported to have “gone
up.”
The names of the persons who bring the
above intelligence are Capt. James R. Dykes
of the Georgia State Militia, who belongs in
Dvke3 Station, Gum Swamp, Pulaski County,
and Iverson Duprez, who are recognised by
several escaped Union prisoners now in
Savannah as having afforded them conceal
ment and protection, during the past winter
The Raleigh papers publish an appeal to
the citizens to open their homc3 to the sick
and w'ounded of Gen. Johnston’s army.
RISE IN THE RATE OE INTEREST.
NO. I.
The Edinburg Review for January last
contains an article beaded "Seven Per Cent,'
in which it is assumed that withiu the last
year the rate of interest has risen two per
cent, above the average rate in Great Britain,
at Which rate it continues. This remarkable
event has caused much surprise,if not alarm,
in all the moneyed circles there. The im
pression seems to prevail from such an un
usual state of things that some great finan
cial crisis is impending. So remarkable a
phenomenon has excited much speculation
as to its cause and probable results. The
Review undertakes to elucidate the subject,
attributing the rise, and, consequently, the
enhanced value of money, to the increased
demand, not only in England, but all over
Europe, for loanable capital, in consequence of
the great extension of commercial enterprise.
The writer appears to think that.a period of
deai' money has arrived, and is probable to
be the natural, and not an abnormal state of
things.
In this question the United States are deep
ly interested. We have been borrowers in
Europe at every period of our history. We
have effected nearly all our plans of internal
improvement by means of borrowed capital.
We have have borrowed in peace and in war.
Relatively cheap money in Europe has en
abled us to develope our resources with un
exampled rapidity. We are as much inte
rested, therefore, as those in Europe who
think cheap money an essential element of
national property. An investigation into the
course and probable results of 90 unusual a
phenomenon as a permanent rise in the rate
of interest cannot be without its importance
at this financial crisis.
It would seem impossible to determine
wliether.the high rate of interest is or is not
abnormal and likely to be permanent. It
would appear to us to be dependant on con
tingencies which defy human penetration.
The reviewer dilates at some length on the
great supply of loanable capital in England,
in consequence of the adoption of the prin
ciple of limited liability in banking and insti
tutions of credit, generally. This lias led to
the formation of a great number of joint
stock companies, the effect ot diminished
hazards’from such investments.
; Nearly all the surplus loanable capital in
England now finds its way abroad after fill
ing all the channels of employment within
the domestic sphere. The reviewers, as we
have seen, explain the peculiarity that an
extraordinary demand had sprung up
throughout Europe for loanable capital, and
that England being its great reservoir, resort
is had to that country for the neediul sup
ply. This, however, furnishes only one part
of the explanation, namely, such a demand
as greatly to elevate the rate of interest. The
question still remains for solution, to wit:
by what means is such a supply of loanable
capital furnished beyond the average de
mand ? The Reviewer is of opinion that the
j recent inducements for the formation ol
: joint stock companies with limited liability
have operated to bring into activity all the
; dormant, unemployed capital of the United
Kingdom, a large part of which, after filling
all the avenues of domestic employment,
have overflowed into foreign channels. The
demand has been greater than the supply,
j large as that is—hence the rise in the rate of
| interest.
J The diminished risk attendant on invest
melts where the risk being diffused is shared
by litany, under the law of limited liability, *
has led to the almost unprecedented forma*
t : onot joint stock companies. “It will he
fund,” says the reviewer, “that the high
rates of interest which have so lately and so
long prevailed, are the result not of any arti
ficial tampering with the natural "course of
things, but, precisely'on the contrary, of giv
ing the natural course of things fair play.—
It will be -ournl, we think, by those wiio pa
tiently study the subject, that the rise in the
price of loanable capital is, above all things,
due to the growing availability and diffusion
of English capital for foreign purposes, and
that this growing availability and diffiusion
are iiftheir turn the consequence of the new
organization provided by the comparatively
sudden and vast expansion of joint stock
systems, and of the birth of so many finar
cial companies capable of undertaking the
largest operations ”
As regards the influence of the principle of
limited liability, the reviewer adds:
“Tim limited liability of each share-holder
became one of the chief elements in the un
paralleled suction, the minute and complica
te! drainage brought to bear, as we have
shown, upon the scattered capital of the
country. Under the system of unlimited
liability few, except a small section of bank*
ers.and merchants, throughout the country,
would engage in foreign enterprise, and those
who did were prone to keep within certain
tradititiouary grooves marked out by the cau
tion of former generations, but now owing to
the vast number of share holders and the
limitation of their liability, the timidity of each
invester is indefinitely diminished, while any
remaining coyness is overcome by the golden
harvest in prospect.
*lt would be remarkable that the principle
of limited liability, en commandite,- was coe
val with the history of banking in the Unit
ed States were it not explained by the fact
of the scarcity and high price of capital in a
new country with an abundance of fertile
territory. It would have been impossible
to have formed those large aggregates which
constitute the stock of our banks and simi
lar enterprises,! requiring associated cap
ital, and the principle of unlimited liability.
More importance is attributed however to
the efficacy of the principle of unlimited lia
bility as a security against losses from over
banking than it ‘ merits. The principle of
unlimited liability was in force in both Eng
land and Scotland when the private and
joint stock banks in the former have failed
extensively in different periods of her his
tory, while in Scotland there have been few
failures of banks, showing that there is some
other feature besides unlimited liability on,
which such security depends.
