Penfield, of the Treasury Department, to promote the formation of a National Cotton (crowing Convention , that measures may be taken by which a crop of cotton may be growing next year of equal quantity with that grown with that of the year before the war, viz : 5,000,000 bales, which, at gold prices, will be worth $1,000,000,000, export ing three-fourths of which, as, in that year will return us $600,000,000 to $7,000,000 \ inducing such a state of the foreign ex changes as will naturally and inevitably bring specie payments by the spring of 1867, with out the usual financial revulsion attending such a crisis. Our paper circulation proper is now more than quadruple that of a normal Slate. But with such a crop of cotton next year we shall have solved another great problem in nation al finance, viz : “Me maintaining specie pay ments with u much tower amount of paper circu lation than has ever before prevailed in such a condition.” We have literally copied the language of Mr. Penfield as a curiosity of its kind to show what random guesses and vain expec tations prevail on this subject. That it is possible to grow 5,000,000 bales of cotton between this and the spring of 1867 is one of the delusions which beset the calcula tions of Northern writers. We agree with Mr Penfield that if the Southern States are able between this and the spring ot ’67 to export to oreign ports three fourths of 5,000,000 bales that it will induce such a state of the foreign exchanges as will bring back specie pay ments without the usual financial revulsion attending what is called a crisis. But there are several contingencies involved in such a result as he foreshadows, not to speak of the conditions of supply, that render his calculations in the highest degree visionary and impracticable. We need not advert to the disorganization ot labor and the waste of capital a3 obstacles to the growth of cotton, a disorganization and waste that will not be repaired, if at all, in less than five years. The loss of stock, of agricultural implements, of seed, of all the appliances to agriculture that denote intel ligent and successful cultivation, are not the only impediments. Nothing evinces in a more striking manner, the little thought that Mr. Penfield has bestowedfon this subject, than to expect a crop of 5,000,000, bales to be produced immediately after a devastating war,in the short interval of one year, that had reached that large aggregate in nothing short of half a century ! We have alluded to certaiu conditions of supply. Those conditions it is needless to say are the two elements of production, labor and Capital. How are they to be sup plied ? They must concur in the work oi production. If all the other wants are fur nished, stock, implements, seed, transports tion, from what quarter is to come the ad vances for the support of labor before tin crop reaches market ? We have also alluded to contingencies, Mt. Peudfield assumes that cotton will cou tinue to bear the high value it does at present Who can define the limits ot fluctuation of price dependent on speculation and sup ply and demand. Who can predict the in fluence of the seasons, the foreign markets, political events &c. We concur with Mr. Penfield that to es cape a financial revulsion our exports must overbalance' our imports. We have seen many nostrums of late for the cure of our distemper of paper money, but they are sucb remedies as will aggravate the disease. Men who claim practical knowledge ot fi nance have among other recommendations suggested the accumulation of gold, until gold and paper bear their former relations to each other, overlooking the ordinary expe dient of •bringing them nearer to a level by reducing the volume of the former, hut of increasing the quantity of the former. And it is to be effected by piling up gold in the treasury in contempt of those laws of trade that determine the ebb and flow of the pre cious metals. What length of time could it be supposed gold would remain at rest af ter being accumulated in the banks or any other depositaries with an adverse foreigu exchange. In fact those who un dertake to enlighten the public overlook the fact that there can be no material contraction of the currency, and, of course, no resumption of specie pay ments until the foreigu exchanges turn in our favor —in other words, until our exports ex ceed in value our imports. Our fiscal docu ments do not discriminate between the nomi nal and the real exchange in their exposi tion of the subject of the currency. It scarce ly need be stated by us that an excess of paper money and consequent rise of prices have no effect on the exports or imports, the change of prices being ouly nomiuai; hut the undue extension of credit by which prices are raised, tbaougb speculative excitement, tend to produce an uutavorable real ex change, and it is not until we cousume fewer foreign luxuries that we aliall return to that normal condition to which Mr. Penfield al ludes. The flow of gold is outward, and can never become inward until we export a greater value than we import. This is the real obstacle to a resumption of spicie pay raents. As regards the further remark “that with such a crop of cotton next year, we shall have solved the problem of national finance, viz: the maintaining specie payments with a much larger amount of paper circulation, tbau has ever before prevailed in such a con dition we will venture to affirm that we are as far removed from tbe solution of that pro blem as at any period since tbe invention of paper money. To effect tbe purpose indicated there must be a flagrant violation of the laws ot currency. One of these laws is that the quantity of paper circulation must bear a re lation to the volume of circulating medium that would circulate if the currency consisted exclusively of the precious metals. How then can there be “a maintenance.of specie payments with’a much larger amount of paper circulation than has ever prevailed in sucb a condition.” This is one of those fallacies that has formed tbe reasoning of those who have written on this subject since tbe com mencement of the war. Those who are of the school of Mr. Penfield and who assume that there Deed be no limit to tbe issue of paper money, may sympathise in Ills views, hut such as adhere to tha good old doctrine* of currency, will place him among the vis ionaries of political science. —The New Hampshire House of Itefoiiua tion, ioearad at Manchester, was desrroyed by lire early on Wednesday morning.

The Lamar Cotton Case. TRIAL OF MR. G. B LAMAR BEFORE MILITARY COMMISSION. SECOND DAT. (Reported for tbe Herald.) The Military Commission engaged in try ing tbe case ot Mr. G. B. Lamar of this city, charged with an attempt at bribing U. S. of ficials, embezzling cotton, etc. etc., met again yesterday morning as per adjournment. The reading of the correspondence of the Messrs. Lamar, Senior and Junior, was con tinued by the Judge Advocate, for the pur pose of showing the existence of conspiracy between G- B. Lamar, Sr., and G. B. Lamar, Jr., as set forth in the charges and specifica tions. • Objection having been made by the de fence to tbe reading of certain letters pur porting to be those ot G. B. Lamar Jr., Hon, Wylly Woodbridge was called as a witness, and testified that he was acquainted with tbe handwriting of Mr. G. B. Lamar Jr., and be lleved the letters just read to have been writ ten by him. Witness also identified the handwriting in a copy book and in other let ters. After a cross examination of Mr. Woodbridge by the counsel for the defence, they were admitted, and tha reading of them proceeded with. Mr. L. Bunnell, U. S. Detective, also testi fied that be bad seen Mr. Lamar write, was acquainted with his handwriting, and stated his belief that tbe latters. introduced were written by him. The reading of letters of G. B. Lamar Jr., from Thomasville, to G. B. Lamar Sr. in Sa vannah, and others from Mr. Lamar Sr., to Mr. Lamar Jr.,occupied the remainder of the session until 12’o’elock, when the court took a recess of ten minutes. Upon re-assembling after the recess, the prosecution called as a witness Detective Bunnell, and desired him to relate tbe con versation which took place between Mr. G. B. Lamar, Jr., and A. G. Browne, Jr., Trea sury Agent, at' the office of the latter in Thomasville, and which he had befors al luded to in tils testimony: Tbe counsel for the defence objected, but the objection wa9 not sustained by the court. Detective Bunnell proceeded, as follows: I was present at an interview betwen Mr. G. B. Lamar, Jr., and A. G. Browne, Jr., Treasury Agent, in Mr. Browne’s office, on tbe 29th of last month. Upon entering the room, Mr. Lamar stated that he had shipped 67 bales of cotton from Spain's plantation, in Quitman, to Doctortown, in the month of October last; that he put his own private mark upon it, kDowmg such cotton to have been formerly the property of the Importing and Exporting Company of (Jeorgja, and that it now belonged to the United Slates. He further said, that this had been done above board and in broad daylight, under a military permit. Mr. Browne asked him to give the same of the officer granting tbe permit. Mr. Lamar refused to give tbe officer's name, saying that it was a matter of private business between the officer and himself, and, furthermore, that he would state nothing until he had consulted with the officer upon tbe subject. Mr. Browne then accused him of stealing at different times other lots of Government cotton. Mr. Lamar replied that he had done so, repeating, that all such transactions had been above board and under military permits. Mr. Browne again demanded the names of the officers and the dates. Mr. Lamar refused to give them. I then leit the room. Question. —State whether or not Mr. G. B. Lamar, J r ., said anything about G. B. La mar. Answer.—He said that he acted as agent for G. B. Lamar in all these transactions. In response to the question whether he had anything further to offer, witnessed pro duced tbe ca9h-book of G. B. Lamar, Jr., which he had found in his valise when be arrested him at Thomasville, and several other memorandum books seized at the same time, in the handwriting of Lamar. Question. —You said something about Mr. Lamar baviDg two letters addressed to Mr. A. G. Browne, Jr., which you did not seize. Answer.—While reading over the books and papers seized upon the arrest of Lamar l found two letters addressed to A. G. Browne, Jr., Treasnry Agent, which con tained offers of a bribe. [This evidence was objected to and ruled out.] I went to the room of G. B. Lamar, Jr., found him there and had the following con versation : Bunnell.—l demand those two letters ad dressed to A. G. Browne, Jr. Lamar.—There they are, (pointing to the fire-place.) Bunnell.—Are they both there ? Lamar.—Yes—no—Beg pardon. I des troyed all my private letters in the fire-place. 1 tore up the two letters addressed to Browne—gave them to the boy with direc tions to burn them. Tbe Judge Advocate then read from the memorandum and other office books seized in Mr. Lamar's room, all in tbe handwriting of G. B. Lamar, Jr. The extracts read were chiefly statements of cotton shipped to G. B. Lamar, Sr., with memoranda of marks changed and ordered to be changed by agents at different points. Oae lot marked I. AE, the mem. stated bad been changed by Lamar Jr., to L 4 L, subsequently changed again to E & K. by Dilion as di rected by Lamar. Extracts from tbe cash account of expenses were also read enumer ating such items a9 the following : Guard over cotton S2O ; whiskey for guard $6 ; hiring guard to remain over one day alter relieved S2O, etc., etc. A memorandum book, seized in the office of Q. B. Lamar, Sr„ wa9 then introduced.— The Judge Advocate read from it some en tries show that Mr. Lamar, Sr., paid tho droits of G. B. Lamar, Jr. The cash-book to which the memorandum book rofers, and the “cotton book" stating when and where the cetton ol tbe importing and Exporting Company was shipped, with the marks, were also introduced aud extracts rosd from the latter to prove that the cottou alluded to la tbe evidence originally belonged to the 1. and K.

Question. —You said that Mr. Lamar stated that certain cotton which he had shipped was the property of the United Stales. Can you swear to it ? Answer.— Yes, 9ir. Question. —Did Mr. Lamnr say he had taken any cotton except such as he bad permits to take ? Answer. —l don’t remember distinctly as to that. Question. —Did not Mr. Lamar say he would prodnee the permits at the proper time? Anstver. —No, sir. tjuesh'on. —When you asked Mr. Lamar for his letters, did you not a9k for letters in his possession addressed to A. G. Browne, Jr. ? Answer. —l demanded those two letters ad dressed to A. G. Browne, Jr. In answer to u question from the Judge Advocate, Detective Bunnell stated that he copied the conversation between himself and Mr. Lamar shortly after it occurred,.and it was witnessed by Lt. Smith, of the Post of Thomasville. The witness was dismissed to be recalled at any time tbe court may see fit. Tbe commission was then adjourned till 9 o'clock this morning. The foUowing is tbe documentary testi mony introduced at yesterday’s session. THOMAsvir.LE, Oct. 26, night. Dear Gar :—l got here this morning by Frivate conveyance from Tallahassee, where did nothing, because no evidence I could offer could avail with Gen • Foster. Cheever has stolen 30 bales from Mouticello also.— Give Mr. Dillon instructions to cover up the shipments made, and keep account of ail the marks and re-marks of the cotton, so that I may know to whom it belongs. All the (9) bales stowed at No. 17 belong to me. Col. Kimball told me this evening that he would not binder shipments of my cotton. I have nothing from Mr Ferrell in reply as yet. When you see Col. Kimball be partic ular to report to me all he says exactly, and say to him that I regret very much not to find Major Hastings here —but casually, and not as requested by me to be said to him. I have no doubt he and Major H. would aid me under the order of Gen. Steedman, it they remained in command, and you may say so to him also, incidentally. You did not report anything in regard to the suit by Hardee and Styles. Give me all particulars unless you are coming up here, which I wish you to do as soon as you can be spared from opera tions below. If you can do any good go on to Doctor town and return*by next train, after seeing and instructing Mr. Dillon. Perhaps it would be best for him to cousign tbe cotton to Messrs. Guerard & Jewell, and you write them t} give the hill of lading to George with instructions to ship the cotton to Liver pool, if there be a vessel loading in Savan uah, and if not to put it into some safe, fire proof brick 9tore as it is landed, not allowing a bale to remain out at night, and to insure it for one mouth. It may be put into oDe of ray stores near Battersby & Cos., on the south side. As soon as you have got through come here, as I shall stay till you do, and I shall need you. Yours, [Signed | G. B. Lamar. Savannah, Nov. 13, '65. G. B. Lamar, Jr.— Dear. Nephew: I have yours of the Bth inst., with the enclosures, and I herewith enclose to you two sealed letters, one to A. G. Browne, and one to O’Fallon & Cos. You will deliver Mr. Browne’s first and it he re sponds favorably, yon will not deliver the other. If he rejects, then deliver the other, and if they accept them give them ail your aid in getting the cotton shipped to me, or to my order, in either case. You may assure Mr. Browne that you do not know the contents of the letter to him. But you can judge after he reads it what course he will pursue, aud keeping the cot ton always in my name, and subject to my order. You can tell him to forward that be longing to the I. & E. Cos., and I have uo doubt I shall get an order for my own from the Treasury Department, hut you may ship mine as before to me aud I will respond to him, the same as upon the other. I sent you a bale bagging by Express, 360 yds a27 and drayage $97 70. Receipt en closed. I put these letters in your possession to be used if necessary and not othei'wise. But if Col. K. docs the clean thing, and I can get my own cotton through him, then deliver only letter No. Ito Mr. Browne. But if you cannot you will hare to deliver No. 2 also. Mr. Browne professed friendship for me and regret for the wrong he had done me, and I hope he will manifest it now. He talks and threatens offensively, but never mind that, only show him you are not afraid of him and stand up boldly, but politely to your rights. The bale was to be divided 70-195 between me and Mr. Hubetcbeck—he 70 and I 195 out of 265, the whole. Y’ou will observe that the witnesses were to be brought up in person and not in writing. I will send you SSOO to pay expenses and you must draw for the rest. Mr. Parnell knows the receipts are all given up, but Mr. Evans’ letter, which I left with you. He cannot charge over 12 1-2 per month in good money per bale, but allow 25 if he ctflltn9 it. • See Col. Barnard of O’FAllon & Cos. your self—he is expected in Thomasville—please deliver that letter. Yours &e., [Signed] G. B. Lamar. Savannah, Nov. 13. 1865. Dear GHz—l write two letters to Mr. Browne—deliver No. 1 first, aud it it oper ates favorably, and Col. K. does not get my own cotton forward for me, then deliver No. 2. And if be proposes any plan that does not cost more than 10 per cent, on the I. & E. Cos., (which he has) and 5 per cent, on mine, agree to it, and i'll conform, but get it lower if you can. Talk with him, and /eel your way be fdre you deliver the letter at all, and if you think he will not agree, then avoid altogether. I'll sendftrou some cash if I can find a trusty hand to Thomasville. Youis &c., [Signed] G. B. Lamar. Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 19, 1865. Mr Dear Uncle :—Your two letters of the 13th inst. were banded me by Capt. Beard. 1 found enclosed two letters ad dressed to A. G.
