Kxamlualion of General Green’s Plan of
Finance—Pobllc Credit—Banking.
NUMBER V.
General Green quote* the authority of Mr.
Calhoun in ihia sentence, “that an iaaue ol pub*
tic credit, under wise regulation forbidding an
over it tut, *u the cheapest and best form of onr
currency.” The w^trds jn italic* form the very ,
point in dispute. It is because no regulations
have been devised, or can be devised, effectual
in forbidding an over issue, that renders public
credit an ufisafe instrument for the purpose.—
The same remark is applicable to the quotation
from Mr. Ricardo. This writer says, ••// litre
were perfect security Hat tie power of issuing pa
per money would not be abused ; that is if there
were perfect security for its being used in such
quantities as to preserve its value relatively to
the mass of circulating commodities nearly uni*
form, the precious metals might be entirely dis
carded from'circulation.” The same qualificas
lion meets us here ss in the quotation from Mr.
Calhpun.*
We have alfesdy in our remarks on the Re
port of the Finnnro Committee of the Senate,
considered the effect of employing the agency
of public debt in regulating the currency,,
strengthening our, argument by numerous ex
amples of the al»uae of that credit. We can add
nothihg to that reasoning or the force of those
examples. General Green quoies a passage
from Colville’s work “on the Ways and Means
of Payment,” in continuation of his views on
the efficacy of credit generally. We have read
Mr. Colville’s work, and although: he exagger
ates the utility of credit,and the uses to which the
money of account may be turned,hi the adjustment
and settlement of balances, it is an able publics
ti"n. The two paasages which General Green
quotes from “the Ways and Means of Payment”
confirm the opinion that-Mr.. Colville exagger
ates the utility of credit. To exemplify the ef
ficacy of caadit, he state* that tho monthly pay
ments of New York were little less than $900,
000,(XX) from January to August, 1857, and that
during that time the average amount of specie
in the Batiks was under $12,000,000, the deposits
averaged $5,000,000 and the circulation $8,000,-
000. It is apparent then (he continues)' that
$103,000,000 ol bank nates and deposits effected
by the aid of the books of the Banks, payment
of not less than $30,000,000 daily, whilst ihe
$12,000,000 of specie in the Banks scafcely tnov-
, ed at all.” In a subsequent part of the passage
he makes the following statement: “In August
1857, the loans of the New York Banks amount
ed to $122,000,000 and the deposits to $94,000,-
000; in the middle of Octoser the-loans had fal
len to $97,000,000 ar d the deposits to $52,000,000.
Thus the Banks were compelled to withdraw
Ironi the public $86,000,000 of paper currency to
keep $12,000,000 in their vaults.”
The proper inference from these facts was
’that theye hhd been a groks abuse of Bank cred
it, ftom the undue extension of loans and the
smallness of the specie reserve compared with
immediate liabilities, the deposits and circula.
Hon together amounting to $219,000,000. the
immense disproportion between the specie re
serve and the immediate liabilities being seen
at a glance. This was as great an instance of
the abuse ot Bank credit as any. recorded in the
History ot'Eanking. The general suspension
of specie payn>rn-s was the consequence of this
nbuae. It had its origin in the city of New
Yoik, and involved the whole country, ink pe
riod of peace, in the disgrace of this, suspen
ston.
Another conoiusion front this statement ts
that the large amount of the iraoeattisns at
the Clearing House, is no evidehoe ot t s le
gitimate business, bat a proof of the great
magnitude of commercial transactions in con-
t quince of abuse of credit. If credit bad not
passed its proper limits the scale of cummer
cial operations would have been much reduced
to what it was, and tho clearings would have
been much more limited f
Whether this abuse of credit may uot have
feon traced to the pu lie, it.would be difficul
to <l<Meiinine. Speculative action, which de
termini-s ihat tf Bapka, sometimes has its
source in a disqpaed condition of the public
gjind, aud Banks partake of’the speculative
mania, whioh becomes contagions. There is
. then, action and reaction between the Banks
and the pub its. - These institutions are some
times the pa.ant, bu*- more often the nurse of
speculation. When there is a plethora of
moneyed capita', whicu hods i;s way into
Banka, in the lot in ot deposits, these institu
tions are inclined to ttfer tacili.ics to borrow
*ud, if at such periods there is' any
tendency in the jublio mind to speculative
excitement, these facilities minister to it.
Toe B-uiks and the community, particularly
the mercantile portion of it, sot and react on
eaoh other. Tho ret nil is very, often seen in
»o great an abase ot .credit at to lead to great
expanaiona aud thou to ruinous contractions,
and finally to bankruptcy, and the suspension
of spcc.e payments.
M c shall next take into view the most ex-
- I’ eill *pt methods ot real raining within due
tiiuit* Bank credits, and preserving the sys
tem of mixed cumncy, coin aud paper, in as
• condition as is practicable. C

We have recieveJ a circular addressed “to the
teacher* of the South,” dated Raliegh. N. C.,
January 12, 1363, and eigtwd by C. H. Wiley,
Supeiin'-ndant of Common Schools <-f North
Carolina, J. D. Campbell, Editor North Caro
lina Journalof Education, and Willie J. Palmer,
Principal North Carolina Institute for Deaf,
Dumb and Blind. This Circular sfa'os siiat nt
the last annual meeting oi the State Education
al Association of North Carolina, held in the
thown of Lineolnton, on the 14th and 15th of
October last, the fallowing resolution was unan
imously adopted-: * *
Resolved That this Association recommend
■A general Convention of the teachers of the
Confederate States, iq beheld at-- —on
1863; to take into consideration the best means
for supplying the necessary text books for schools
and colleges, and for uniting their efforts for life
advancement of the cause of education in the
Confederacy; and that the Executive Commit
tees of the Association he directed to correspond
with teachers in the various Slates, on the sub
ject, ,
And accordingly lecommend that the meeting
lake place in Columbia; South Carolina, on
Tuesday, April 28th, at 8 o'clock. P. M.
They farther say, moat truly, that the in|eg- r
lily of society itself demands that at least those
of onr text books which relate to moral and po
litical science should not be prepared by persons
who hold opinions in conflict with those on
which our institutions are based; and if our

As tbo present session of the Northern
Congress draws to its close—the session
expires, by constitutional limitation, on
_lth of this month—the members aio
letting off their set speeches on the war.
Prominent among those recently delivered
“ on e hy Hon. Henty May, a pamphlet
copy of which has been kindly favdared us | aI1 c oncurWequiring that this dreadful
it « no" - ~ contest of Arms should bff_-ter«pinaled, there
schools are ever to be purged-of the semi-infidel
literature of the world,-we will never have a
better opportunity than the presenufor the com
mencement of the good work.
We hope the convention will be held and that
will be well represented from every State.
While on the subject, we have a suggestion
to make to the Convention, .if it should meet,
in relation to text hooka for schools and colleges.
Tbero has always been a uonble and always
will be, from the great diversity of text books
in use, and the preference of one teacher for a
certain kind and another for another kind, while,
all admit the propriety of uniformity in a school.
As it is and has been, the parents are put to the
expense of buying new text books every lime
they get a new teacher..
Now we proposo that the convention ap
point a committee) ot competent Southern
men to get up proper Southern text books,
and every teacher in the Confederate StatoB
obligate himself to use -them find no others,
for the spaoe of live .years. Then make an
arrangement with the publishers of the Con
federate States to publish and keep- lbrt gale
these authorized text books, and no others at
certain pride, for five, years At the end
of-five years, let the convention of teachers'
appoint another committee to revi-e and im
prove the text books or adopt new ones, re
ceiving and considering suggestions from all
who may feel inclined to give them, and 1st
publishers for five years more, publish
e new series, aad no others; aal so. on
Iu this way the great iflfficuUy •’arising
from the numerous text books and the varie
ty of preference in teachers, and the useless
expenditures for new books for the children
every year, will be avoided. . .

Starve us Out. •
The Yankees have boaeted from the first that
they could starve us out, and this indeed is our
greatest danger. Food, and particularly tin at,
scarce. There is not enough meat in the
Confederate States to feed the army and people,
and bread is scarcer than many suppose. If wo
have a good wheat crop, we shall have plenty of
bread. If however the wheat should tail, or be
short, we shall have a scarcity ol bread.
Last year wa'e excessively dry and crops were
every where cui short. -If-it should be as dry
again this year ss last, we idiall be reduced to
strai's. . *
These ate facts. We deem'it our . duly to
speck them plainly. We would not say it to
cream ticedUbs alarm The great and pressing
necessity to raise large crops ot coni and make
every poand of meat that, is possible never was
in this country, equal to the present. Wc most
earnest ry urge upon every farmer and every body
who has a patch,ot ground, io put his whole
force and his whole breadth of land to the rais
ing of corm peas, beans, -potatoes—anything
thki ijill make food tor man and beast. Cotton
is important, but food is far more so. It will
pay better to raise corn than cotton. Whoever
raises the most corn and meat, will make the
most mony ; lor however high the pri c that
can be obtained tor cotton, it cannot equal that
which corn and meat will bring.
II yon love yonr country, plsnt corn. It yon
want make money, plant corn and raise what
pork you can.

The Times.—We have information from an
Old acquaintance anil a reliable gentleman of-
Nashville, that a friend oi his just from Uetrdet,
son, Ky„ had crossed at Palmyra and slopped at
a house close to a wood landing, when forty-
seven transports of the enemy came up, protec
ted by three gunboat*. In conversation with
the Yankees it was learned that the transports
were filled with Seigles’ command from the
army of the Potomac, and >bat each transport
was expected to carry three hundred men and
their baggage, bnl the actual number fell short,
of this figure. However, the reinforcements
numbered about 14,000. Previons-to this reins
forcemeat, the enemy haAreceived about 12,000,
making about 26,009 in all. Our informant
thinks that it will take.these reinforcoments to
protect thirty miles ot Rosencrana’ rear, so that
ite can hardly advance yet w'ithout additional
reinforcements.
From the forces oi Roscncrans must, be de
ducted 6,000 deserters since .the battle of Mur
frees boro’.
Save a little skirmishing all is qbiet in front,
and with some reinforcement we see no cfiusc
for an apprehension that our • army will fall
back. - -„
The men and subalterns ol Rosencrans’ army
say they will never make another such a fight
ss they made at Murfreesboro-’—that "they were
deceived in thinking.that most of onr best men
were sent So'uth, and thst Bragg’s arm? was
conscripts who would make no fight—that a lit
tle skirmi-'hing would ednse the array to fall
back, &x. We guess they were mislaken, and
ihe world will yet learp that conscripts are as
good fighters as any. It is not fear that kept
them out of the service, and we have-little re
spect for those who jeer at conscripts Such a
course is unwise and unpatriotic.— Winchester
(Term ) Bulletin. 3th inst.
Tub Excess.—The excess of prisoners on
our Bide is not so. large as generally estima
ted. Gn authority of Mr. Oald, the exchange
agent of our government, it is stated to be
not more than 16 to 20.000 in our favor, and
* rf ^ ’* tlr T-tc^of 1 is les3 how than before the‘battle of Mur
freesboro.
Whereas the deplonvble civil war now os-
iding between the States heretofore compos
ing onr Union has failed to restore it, and if
continued longer will destroy all hope of its
restoration in the future;' as originally form
ed aud maintained by our' Federal Constitu
tion, and no~ other political union, is either
desirable or practicableand whereas, the
interests of humanity, of civilization, and
the future of free constitutional government
l*y a friend. Mr. May represents one of
the Baltimore districts in Congress, and his
name has acquired a kind of distinction
from the fact Of his being the successor of
the noloriotjs Henry Winter Davis, having
beaten that renegade, by a large majority,
in the spring of 1SGI. This speech of Mr.
May is marked by-no ability or force of
thought, hut as an appeal for peace front
the North it may be worth while to give
its spirit in some brief extracts on iU?lcart
ing points. v .
Defining his own position, Mr. May said :
I came to congress a representative of.
peace and compromise and the determined
adversary of military coercion. No party
claimed my nomination. I entered th|s
Hall a representative of conciliation.. I
have opposed and voted against every
measure of this war. Not a drop Of the
blood of my countrymen rests upon me.
. In alluding to the origin of the war, Mr.
May 8aid-~
Our present national afflictions are the
direct results of an intermeddling.sptrit at
the North. -Over and over again have the
slaveholding States 'argued remonstrated,
appealed in every way, by every effort, to
restrain the aggressive spirit of the North
from these invasions, on its. rights of do
mestic slavery; and though often passion
has defied-and denounced its progress,
reason has not failed to Use its persuasive
>ower. • Compromise after compromise lias
jeen made, in the hope of averting or
postponing the evil day of apprehended*
separation. - The convulsions' of these at
tempts were the disregarded warnings of
our present calamity. For years, for many
years, have patient, though full statesmen,
and patriots fropi North-and South, in
most impressive lessons, warned our coun
trymen, and predicted our present situa-
ation as the inevitable result of these
aggressions. Do not the feelings and mo
tives that are signified in these measures
now presented, and in the kindred tran
sactions of Congress and the. Executive,
give every true lover of Republican Govern
ment the right to say that what was a
rebellion against law now stands justified
before God and the nations of the earth, as
a revolution against the most direful'op
pressions that have ever threatened man-
dnd?
Mr. May was bol(j in his denunciation of
the employment ,6f negroes as soldiers in
the army. Speaking of the bill author
izing the organization of negro, regiments,
he said:
As an evidence of national policy, it is
eminently disgraceful. Sir, it will fail, and
the enlightened opinion of mankiud will
pronounce upon the attempt a condign
judgment. Go to your soldiers at Port
Royal, New Orleans or Hampton, and ask
them what they think of-this, and they
will tell you that the effort to eeect the
negro into a soldier is a preposterous
exhibition of humar^tresumption and folly.
The people recoil with abhorrence from a
proposition that may lead to* such results.
They are startled by it. The civilized,
enlightened, and Christionized world will
condemn to unmitigated scorn thfit legis
lation which would plant oh our statute
books a measure so infamous and infernal,
yt >l the reconstruction of the Union, Mr;
i_ .y said there was no hopel We quote
his language'on. this point: '* ; ~ :
I wish- to declare in' all candor, as ' 1
ought to. do, my settled conviction that the
people of the Confederated " .States will
never again consent to restore our political
Union. I believe that’ their universal
determination upon this point is. jin at*
They will not again put their trust in the'
guarantees of -a written constitution with
the people of the North. They have tried
it fairly, and it has.failed. It is folly now
to expect it. The late Judge Douglas
avowed tame in April preceedingjiis death,
his Bolmn conviction that otif political
uhion was at an eud; and ‘read me an elab
orate essay, .in which he ascribed our
f resent situtation to the aggressive spirit of
forthern Abolitionism, and declared his
conviction that the Union of our States as
originally formed and maintained was
finally destroyed.
Of the hopelessness of this war, and in
favor of peace, Mr,Ifay said:
Inquire >what has been gained by the
prosecutdon-of the war. With an enormous
disparity of forces and resources in favor
of. the Federal Government, are we nearer
the end of the conflict then when we be
gun? Besides the results of a few ineffect
ual victories, the invasion of the enemy’s
country, and the capture of New Orleans
or less important towns, what has been
done bat-to destroy or maim.thousands of
lives, antkwaste and consume millions of
property, and entail upon- ourselves and
posterity the burdens of an* insupportable
taxation ? What can this civil war accom
plish T If the experience of the past may
answer, it will exclaim ruin, r nothing but
rain, fighting, •bloodshed, lamentation,
desolation, anarchy, despotism. The judg
ment of the impartial nations of Europe
has already pronounced this war a failure.
1 am persuaded that the voice of all civil
ized and disinterested men is now-on tho
side of peace—peace on any terms consis
tent with oiir liberties and honor. You
may subjugate, exterminate the Southern
people, botantdl yoa can tear out each living
heaft, and throw it to the dogs,oi war, you
can nev6r re-unite * them with«ffou in a
political union. \ ,
In appealing .for peace Mr. May said:.
The question now before us is between sep
aration and subjugation.' Let U3 not deoeite
ourselves. Wc must, choose bstweon these
fear (al alternatives, and take the olive branch,
or closer clutch the sword I have made, sir,
tpy choice, and intend to abide its issue. As
I have from the first,.so 1 .will to the last,

ex-postmaster of Chicagb, against- Horace
Greeley, for libel, in erroneously, charging
the plaintiff with using a large amount of
government money for gambling purposes.
Dam (ges are laid at fifty thousand dollars.—

Marshall Peel, but up to the closiilg of the
Marshal’s office, that officer was unablo to find

liiical opponent, Greeley confounded the two
names, attaching the crime to Isaao Cook, n-
