NUMBER THREE.
periods when the Bank of England had a full,
if not exeeativef calculation, prices were low,
while at other periods, when prices had become
elevated, the circulation of the bank had be 1 ,
come considerably reduced. Thus demonstras
ting beyond all denial, that supply and demand
had acted on prices antecedently to any effect
produced by an undue issue of paper money.
As an additional evidence that what is called
a nominal advance of prices, from an undue in*
crease of money, results from a change either
demand or supply, in the first instance, at
least, although prices may be further stimulated
by additions to the currency, is the fact that
prices advarce unequally. Some articles and
descriptions of labour rise more rapidly and to a
greater extent than others. Some decline in
price while others advance. If the rise were
nominal or simultaneous, it ought to be equal
and uniform. C.
We have endeavored to show that time is an
important element as well as the relation that
exists between sales and purchasers as Re
lates to producers. If a farmer raised wheat
for which he obtained one dollar per bushel,
or a manufacturer produced cloth for which
he obtained one dollar per yard, 'before the
war, and wheat and cloth had advanced to
$2 per bushel and f 2. per yard respective*
ly, three months after the war, whilst the
balk of fhe articles consumed by these pro*
ducers, remained at their former prise, ordid
not advance in price until six months afier
the war, they would gain as producers
while they would lose nothing as conslt
mers. It is no less evident that if pro
ducers expend much less as consumers than
they gain aa producers the balance of ad
vantage Is on their sid<, from an advance
of priocs that may extend gradually over all,
or nearly all, articles from the undue in
crease of money.
The situation of the dealer is different.—
His sales are equal to his purchases, unless he
purchases on qioculation, and waits for the
rise of the market. If ho sells on commis
sion hia.aggrcgate sales aro proportionably
increased to tho advance of the commodities
in which be deals. The class of men who
suffer- uncompensated loss are, of course,
those who live oq fixed Inoomes.
.The mode in which an undue increase of
paper money takes place by public authority,
illustrates its operation on prices. The dis
tinotipn between intensity and extent of de
mand will elucidate still further the action of
paper money oh prices. In proportion to the
concentration of purchasing power is the in
tensify of domand. In proportion to the dif
fusion of that power is the extent of the de
mand. If, a bank of discount has $50,000 to
lend, aud gives accommodation to one appli
cant, of the whole sum, instead of fifty appli
cants, if for the purchase of commodities,
this is a concentration of purchasing power
with corresponding intensity of demand. If
the fifty applicants had received bank accom
modation there would have been diffusion of
purchasing power with proportionate extent
of demand. In the ease of the more concen
trated power of purchase competition is less
ened. In the case of the more diffused power
of purchase it is extended. In tho same wa>
if tho government places in the hands of fifty
agents, fifty millions of dollars per month,
their purchasing power being more concen
trated than if (his sum had been diffused,
through some other process, among five hun
dred purohssers, the demand it correspond
ingly intensified, • Competition is narrowed.'
Higher prices follow than if the deman.t wore
more extended. This is the inevitable effect*
of the undue issue of paper money, the pow
er of purchase becoming concentrated aud
the demand correspondingly intensified. The
action on prices of a gevernmen 1 . paper cur
rency, through the ooneentration of monied
moans, may require, perhaps, a moro detailed
explanation. It operates on pricet in tw^
ways ; 1, Government through its agents be
ing both a large purchaser and wasteful con
sumer rapidly exhausts the market of the
stocks brought into it lor gcueral consump
tion. 2, -Being almost solely a buyer and
not a seller, for it. sells only when its acu-
mulation of superfluous supplies compels it,
limits competition both in selling and pur
chasing, while a'paper money issued by banks
to dealers enlarges competition and preserves
prices at a general level.
Let it not be concluded from this that we arc
.opposed to a government paper currency under
ail circumstances. It often becomes during war
. a financial necessity. At such periods the pro
ceeds of taxation come in slowly, the power to
borrow is limited, the sources of private income
are contracted. There remains no other re
source than the issue of paper money. It is a
.power both for good and evil. It, by raising
prices, acts like direct taxation. It may be
compared in its .effect to the rise of prices pros
duced by,the withholding or withdrawing.from
market of commodities, in consequence of a
debasement of a metallic currency by public
authority. Still as it is the only power left to
'enable the government, to defray its expenses
and meet its engagements the sacrifices it calls
for should he cheerfully borne, and the value ol
qilch a currency sustained.
.The* doctrine that prices advance simulta
neously, or nearly so, without any reference to
the influence of demand and supply, a* the im
mediate canes of such advance—in other words,
that the advance is nominal, on the supposition
"that all commodities an# labour increase pro
portionally in price, is thus found to be unten
able. The fall in the price of salt, while the
-bulk of articles continues at the former prices,
some -increasing whille others are falliug, shows
. that the law of demand and supply asserts its
aupremacy in all cases of change tn prices.
The principles of currency propounded by the
. celebrated Mr, Tooke, a London merchant,la
his History of Prices, confirms these view*.*—
The doctrins had previously to the appearance
,of Mr. Took*'a work been almost universally
accepted, that the rise of prices always followed
aa over-us*a of paper money. Mr, Tooke
demonstrated from a review of prices for nearly
. half a century, that, although an excessive
emission Cl paper money gave, at times, an ad
ditional stimulus to prices, yet that an advance
invaiiaUy preceded fcuch over-issue, being eject
first before acting as came. He further estab-
ished bis conclusion by showing that at certain
The New State of Kanawha.
Tho late law of the Lincoln Congress -‘for
the erection of the new State of West Virgin
ia was signed by Lincoln on the last day of
the year, but by the terms of the bill it does
net come immediately into tho Union. After
the.Constitution received the sanction of the
people, the Convention amended one of the
sections in such a manner as to eventually
make it a free State by gradual emancipa
tion. This amendmen' is ordered to be vo
ted upon, and if accepted, Lincoln is to issue
a proclamation stating the fact, and sixty
dsys thereafter the new commonwealth will
take its place as the thirty-fifth Stale.’’
This act of tho Lincoln Congress is in fla
grant violation of one of tbe plainest provi
sions of the Constitution of the United States
It is in thesa words: “No new State snail bo
formed or erected within the jurisdiction of
any other State, nor any State be formed by
the junction of two or more States or parts of
States, without the consent of the Legisla
tures of the States concerned, as well as of
Congress.” V - „ . *
But what does Lincoln and his Congress
care for tho Constitution, or any of its pro
visions ? .--Aro people fit for self-government
who submit to such palpable and wilful vi
olations of the fundamental law by the
chief Executive and Legislative departments
—by men who have taken a solemn oath in
the face of high Heaven, to observe these
laws saoredly and not to permit them" to be
violated by others with impunity—-let alone
fligrantly violate them themselves? Can
republican government bo maintained by suoh
a people ? Are they fit associates of those
toho do observe the laws of their country and
who wish i) be governed by laws that are
popularly respeoted ? We leave this question
for men of common sense to answer.

Yesterday wo had ihe pleasure of meeting in
our ofiicc our old school-mate Gen. Ed Thomas
He is one of tho few ■ men we warmly recom
mended for the office of Colonel to a regiment
of volunteers that were then forming. We
knew the man and felt confident 1 that, when op

those bravelv won in Mexico when a youth.—
lie had command as Colonel of his regiment—
the 35tli Ga — in linen battles, aiid.in nine batv
ties as General commanding his Brigade, in
Gen. A. P. HiiPs Division. Thus he has been
in twelve pitched battles, in every one of which
lie has distinguished himself as a brave a.nd
skillful officer. He was badly wpunded once,

Cowardly Vandalism.
The following is the order of an enrag'd
coward, who feels himsolf a atsafe distant
from those against whom his wrath is f-i -<r -

JOHN PRATT, A. A. Gen
lion. Clement L. Vallnndlghaui.
This wise and able statesman made a speech
in tho Yankee House of Representatives on
tho 14th inat., in which he said. * •
“I would not deny or disparage the anstere
virtues of the old Puritans of England or
America. But 1 do believe that, in the very
mature of things, no community could exist
' d l ng in peace, and no government endure long
alone, or become great, where that element in
its earliest or its more recent form holds su
preme control. And it is my solemn convic
tion that there can be no possible or durable
reunion of these States until it shall have
been again subordinated to other and more
liberal and conservative elements, and, above
all, until its worst and most mischievous de
velopment, abolitionism, has been utterly ex
tinguished. Sir, the peace of the Union and
this continent demands ii.

“It was abolition, the purpose to abolish
or interfere with and heut in slavery which
has caused disunion and war. Slavery is on
ly the subject, but abolition the enure of this
civil war.”
Desperate Fight of Forrest—A Treneher-
ons Enemy.
The Huntsville Advocate gives theparticu-
lars of a desperate fight which Gen. Forrest
had at Parker’s Cross Roads, about 30 miles
northwest of Lexington, Tenn., on the 31st
ult., as he was returning from his success
ful expedition in West Tennessee. He met
seven full regiments of the Abolitionists,
who raised the white flag in'token of sur
render.
“Ho approached to receive their arms,
when another heavy column, of 10 regi
ments, came on his flank and rear, and be
an to fire on bis men, and the portion, who
had raised the white flag, treacherously
joined in the firing. The gallant Forrest
and hi3 brave men returned the fire vig
orously. They had only ten rounds of am
munition, fired six rounds and then fought
their way out, with a loss of 500 kifled,
wounded and missing. The killed, are
estimated at about 50, the wounded at 150
to 200—the rest are prisoners. The woun
ded also fell into the hands of the enemy.
“It is said, that, in fighting their way out,
our braye troops massed themselves in solid
column and charged the enemy’s column
that had come upon their rear. The ccol
and intrepid Forrest remained in their
rear to collect his scattered men and bring
them out, and the enemy closed up their
column, after the most of Forrest’s men
had passed through, and camo very near
catching him. He escaped by riding at full
speed along a ravine and leaping his horse
over a ten rail fence. One, who witnessed
his escape, said that the last ho saw of For
rest, he was flying over tho fence, lying flat
on hi3 horse and huhdreds of bullets were
flying after him. One bullet passed through
his hat. Strange to say, not one man was
lost in fighting their way out.
“Forrest went over with about 3500 men
and came back with about -3,000. Besides
losing600 men; one ot his mountain how
itzers burst in the last fight, and the enemy
captured three, leaving him 6 cannon, his
original number. He crossed the Tennessee
river.at and near Clifton, Tenn., a little
north east of Lexington, on Tuesday night
and Friday morning, and camped at Clifton
until Sunday morning. The enemy came,
8,000 strong, Saturday afternoon, and
formed a line of battle, and some fighting
took place across the river, which was 300
yards wide. Forrest brought his artillery
to bear on the Abolitionists and they re
tired,” ' ;
is believed at Washington that
Secretary Chase will soon lead to the hy-
menial altar the widow of the late Senator
| Douglas.
Tbe Battle of Springfield.
A dispatch from Gen. Brown to Gen. Cur
tis, daved Springfield, Mo., 8th inst., says the
battle At that place lasted 13 hours. The en
emy numbered 6,000 picked mounted infantry,
with two rifled guns. Tbe expedition was
fitted oat on the Arkansa9Tiver and marched
at least fifty miles in twenty-five hours, not
withstanding they had skirmishing with our
soouting parties most of tho way.
The enemy opened fire on the town without
giving notice to remove the sick or the wo
men and children in the place.
Our forces consistedof detachments of the
Missouri State Militia, Iowa troops, enrolled
Missouri Militia, and convalescents and strag
glers, numbering in all sixhundred men, with
two old iron howitzers, ouo iron 6 pounder,
mounted on wagon wheels, and two brass 6-
pounders at Fort Lyon.
Tho enemy were badly whipped. Gen.
Brown was treacherously shot from the resi
dence of a Secessionist, while he was leading
a charge.
A dispatch from Gen. Warren, dated Hous
ton, Texan county, on tho 14th, says:
Tho enemy is in full retreat towards Ar
kansas. General Marmeduke’s force is at
Hartsvillo, numbering between 4,000 and 6,-
000.
The Rebels’ loss was about threo hundred
killed, wounded and taken prisoners. Tho
guerrilla McCloud was among the killed, and
the notorious guerrilla, Captain Portor, badly
wounded. • *.

Destruction ot British Property by the
Alabama.
The London Herald, an organ of the Bri
tish Tories, _after recounting the alleged
wrongs down to the owners of British prop
erty by the Alabama, and stating that if sines
hoisting the Confederate flag the Alabama
has unwittingly committed certain wrongs
against British merchants, wjoso goods were
shipped on board of Federal vessels, interna
tional law requires that the English Govern
ment should apply for indemnity, to the C/jn-
federute Government, concludes its remarks as
follows:
Only some bigh-hnnded act of deliberate
violence, such as the outrage on the Trent or
the burning of the Blanche in neutral waters,
would justify us in taking the law into our
own hands, and nothing could justify us in
dealing With Capt. Semmes otherwise than as
we should doal with Capt. Wilkes. If, there
fore, it be true that our government' have
given orders that the Alabama shall not be
allowed to coal in British harbors, they have
committed a breach of neutrality, unless they
extend the prohibition to federal men of-war.
If it be true that they have threatened her
with destruction, if she should again*, by
mischance or necessity, burn British proper
ty on board American vessels, they have com
mitted oneof the basest and most dastardly
of crimes—an act of hostility against a gal
lant us'iou struggling against tremendous
(dds, un wholly unable to resent this un-
xerited ». i • unprovoked outrage. If Lord
Rianpii :icted thus; he has acted a part
ui.fo.ij n,i only of a neutral statesman,!
but oi an English gentleman. But before
we believe him guilty of a crime half so
mean, so gratuitous and so un-English, wo
must see the statement of the Liverpool
Journal of Commerce confirmed by some au
thority. _ .
Hindman’s Address to his Troops before
the Battle of Cane Hill, Arts.
Headq’bs 1st Corps Trans-Miss. Army, \
In the field, Deo. 4, 1862. j
Soldiers : From the commencement to the
end of the battle, bear constantly in mind
what I now impress upon you :
1. Never fire because your comrades do,
nor because tbe enemy does, nor because you
happen to see the enemy, nor for the 8ake of
firing rapidly. Always wait until you are
certainly within the range of your gnns, then
single out your man, take deliberate aim, as
low down as.the knee, and fire. • '
2. When occasion offers, be certain to pick,
off the enemy’s officers, especially the mount
ed ones, and to fill his artillery horses.
3. Don’t shout except when you charge the
enemy—as a general thing, keep silent, that
orders may be heard. Obey the orders of
yonr officers, but pay no attention to idle ru
mors, on the word of unauthorized persons.
4. Don’t stop with yonr wounded comrade;
the surgeons and infirmary corps will take
care of him; do you go forward and avsnge
him.
* 5. Don’t break ranks to plunder ; if we
whip the enemy, all he has will be ours; if
not the spoils will be of no benefit to us.—
Plunderers and stragglers will be put to death
on the spot. File-closers are especially
charged with this dnty. . The cavalry in the
rear will likewise attend to it.
Remember that the enemy you engage has
no feeling of mercy or kindness towards yon.
His ranks are made up of Pin Indians, free
negroes, Southern tories, Kansas Jayhawkera
and hired Dutch cut-throats.
These bloody ruffians have invaded your
country, stolen and destroyed your property,
murdered your neighbors, outraged our wo
men, driven your children from their homes,
defiled the graves of your kindred. If each
man of yon will do as I have urged upon you,
we will utterly destroy them.. We can do this ;
our country will he ruined if we fail.
A just God will strengthen oar arms and
give us a glorious victory.

The following Is the order of Gen. Rosen-
crans under which the C«c£ederate officers
captured in the battle near Murfreesboro’,
have been sent to Alton, III., to. be kept in
close confinement: •

Murfreesboro’, Jan. 6, 1868. j
General Order, No. -. Tho Gen. Command
ing is pained to inform the commissioned offi
cers of the Confederate army taken prisoners
by the forces under his command, that owing
to tbe barbarous measures announced by
President Davis in his recent proclamation,
denying paroles to our officers, he will be
obliged to treat them in like manner. It is
a matter of regret to him that the rigor ap
pears to be necessary. He trusts that such
remonstrances as may be mado in the name
of justice, humanity, and civilization, will
reach the Confederate authorities as will in-
duoe thorn to pursue a different course, and
thereby enable them to aooord to their offi
cers the privileges which he is always pleased
to extend to brave men, even fighting for a
cause whioh he oonsiders hostile to our na
tion, and disastrous to human freedom.

Destruction of British Property by the
Alabama. * * *
—In the first place it may be true that
some municipal law has been infringed in
th$ building, sale, or equipment of the Ala
bama. In that case the Government has
its remedy against Mr. Laird, or any of the
Confederate agents in this country, who
can be shown to have committed any legal
offense. Rut there is no case on this ground
against the captain of the Alabama or his
government. Neither* of them have done
us any wrong in that way; and, if they had,
neither of themare within our jurisdiction.
But it is alleged that since Bhe hoisted tbe
Confederate flag the Alabama'has unwitting
ly committed certain wrongs against Brit
ish merchants whose goods were. shipped
on board Federal vessels.. In that case our
course is clear; international law requires
that we should apply to the Confederate Gov,
emment for an indemnity, which it cannot
and will not refuse. Home time ago we
showed that there was grave reason to
doubt whether British goods, shipped un
der a belligerent flag, are lawfully exempt
from capture; but supposing that they are,
our remedy liesnot in any interference with
the Alabama, but in an appeal to her gov*
emment.—London Herald, Dec. 31.
Resignation of an Army Officer—He is
Court-Martialed.—A correspondent, writ
ing from Gen. Burnside’s army, says:
The first and only drum-head court-
martial that was ever heard of during our
connection with the army came off this af
ternoon, the party arraigned being one
Lieutenant Jacob A. Covington, of Compa
ny I, 40th New York regiment. His crime
being no other than that of treason, in
sending in his resignation in which he
states, “that lately his sentiments have
undergone a radical change, his feelings
having changed towards the South, and
that he no longer wants to be an enemy
of theirs.”
His division commander, Gen. Bimey,
ordered his immediate arrest, placed him
in close confinement, and ordered a drum
head court-martial .to at once assemble
and try him. What the sentence is we do
not know, as before being made known it
must be approved by his corps and grand
division commander.
Price’s Mob.—The Grenada correspondent
of the Mobile Register, speaking of the recent
review of the troop* under General Price by
President Davis and General Johnston, says t
“The old General (Price) with pride beaming
in bis 'open manly features, turned to General
Johnston and said: “General, what do you
think of ny mobf” The chieftain replied,
“What mob, Gen. Price ?” “Why, these boyj
you see passing before you. They have been
called by some Generals “an armed mob," and
that ia the popular impression by those who
have never seen them.” “"Why,” said Johnston,
“’pon my honor, Gen. Price, I never saw bet
ter discipline, or men march mors regularly.’’
“Nor I, said General Bowen, “even in the old
service.”
Cotton Purchased by Government.—The
total amount of cotton purchased by the gov
ernment in the State of Mississippi reaches
about one hundred thousand bales, and much
more is in negotiation. Onr planters (says
the Charleston Courier,) cannot do better
than offer their crops, which will he taken at
a fair price, and the bonds will soon he at a
premium. Bat little of the government cot
ton has yet been burnt, and none has fallen
into the hand3 of the enemy. If there is to
be any loss of tlfte kind, however, govern
ment is better able to pay it than the planter.
What remains will reimburse the loss.
