SIMM depends on ihe administration of the
Confederate currency, ami not on the admin
istration of the British currency. The rela
tion of which General Green speak* is never
impaired unless by our own'action in miking
money too cheap, nor shall wo ever lose our
specie, by which Ibij relation is mointaiael,
we do not render oar circulating medium
of less value than the currencies of foreign
countries.

Kuntnallon of General Green’s Plan of
Finance—Action of the Bank England—
London Ibi Centre of Payment*.
NUMBER VII.
General lircon ocoupies several p igea of his
pamphlet with complaints of the irregular
action of tho Bank of England on the cur
rency of that country, and thence on the cur
rency of this country, expanding, and con
tracting at her ploasure, and diverting a cur
rent of Ihe precious metals to London when
ever she pleases, making it the centre of pay
ments lor tho whole world. The following is
a brief summary of his argument:
“As the relation between thejgold and silver
and (he property of (he Confederate States
is liable to repeated and ruinous fluctuations
caused by tbe expansions and contractions of
tbe Bank of England, which are avowedly in
tended to compel tbe merchants of England
to bring back to the bank the specie it wants;
and as under tbe system of trade with Eng
land as regulated by the government of the
United States, a large part of the specie want
ed by tnat bank baa been taken from (be
United States; and it is apparent that if the
Confederate States adopted the same system
of currency, tbe proposed free trade between
them and England will give increased faoili
ties for tho export of specie requisite to
maintain the proper relation between the
quantity of speoie and the value of properly
in tbe Confederate States, it is tbe duty of
Congress, as far as possible, .to protect the
currency of these States from the effects of
tbe measures and policy of the Bank of Eng
land.
This am niootence whieh General Green as
signs to tho Ijank of England is altogether
ideal. That institution has no doubt large
moneyed resources and correspondent power.
It may even iiifliteiice the course of -trade for
a temporary period aud partially. It may
produce injurious expansions and contrac
tions which may extend to other oountries.—
But it has not the power, nor can it have the
loolination, to effeot the resolta attributed to
Hove High-Maudeil Measures.
Wo notice that under orders from the Com
missary General, all the Superfine and Extra
Family Flour in Richmond and Petersburg,
that was in the possess!) n of the millers, or
owned by merchants or speculators, was seized
and payment therefor allowed at $19 60 per
barrel—say ten dollars below tbe average
mat ket price.
SenurcB or impressments of flour have sev
eral times been made in Richmond, Peters-
tersburg and various other Realities in Vir
ginia, bnt heretofore payments were made at
the common market prioe, and nobody com
plained. It was cheerfully and willingly
submitted to, for on each occasion the neceS'
sity was apparent, acd tho common prioe paid.
It is not at all surprising that a necessity for
obtaining- supplies in this manner, should
sometimes occur in the \ trinity of largo ar
mies, where often sudden and unexpected
movements are made. In all such localities
this necessity will sometieB arise. Whenever
it arises,, nobody will object to its exercise;
or if any one should, let him be sent to the
Yankees. We should have no room in the
country for such a man.
Bat these late seizures were made under
orders emanating direotly from a high officer
in tbe War Department, when, apparently,
there was no necessity for it, and what is
worse, it was not paid for at tbe market price.
We notice that quite a number of millers
and merchants, of Petersburg, have united in
a memorial to Congress, from whioh we take
the following extract:

petua and direction to the precious metals to
wards any particular county continuously.—
The Bank of England has produced a tempo
r*ry disturbance in our business and com
mercial relations, and so have tbe Uaited
Sutes in those of England. When the B*nk
of England refused to re-discount tbe mer
cantile paper in 1836, discounted by the joint
stook banks,of whioh the souroe was the open
oredits given to tbe merchants of this oountry
by British merohanls, it led to many bank
rupoies in the United States. It was a meas
ure of seif defease. It was a necessary cor
rective by the Bank of England to overt rad
ing. Sj when Congress, under the Adminis
tration of General Jackson, passed tbe Gold
bill in 1834, it threatened so much injury to
the Bank of England, oreating an artficial de
mand for gold, that this institut cn was com
pelled to produce a correspondent contraction
of her circulation, to proteot herself. As an
evidence that her power is not omnipotent she
has been under severe pressure at several pe
riods of her history.' She partially. snspemL
ed specie payments during tbe rebellion of
1846, when tho Pretendar invaded the British
dominions. In 1792 and '93 the Bank had
nearly suspended from over issues. In 1797
her suspension lasted for twenty-four years.
In 1826 she was again on the threshold of
suspension. In 1838 89 » deficient harvest
nearly depleted her of her gold. In 1848-49
she was again in some jeopardy from tho Irish
famine and railroad excitement. Her
sources are not so ample as to preclude assist
ance from similar institutions abroad. She
was compelled to ask aid from the Bank of
France only a few years since.
At those periods when the Bank of Eng
land has expanded with most profit to her
self was when she was least nnder the infla-
enee Of the check from 'speoie payments, as
daring the mspeueion from 1797 to 1821.—
But as by expansions to rnch an extent as

with foreign currencies she runs the hazard
of rendering the foreign exchange unfavora
ble and losing her gold, so her interest Hes in
the opposite direction from suoh expansion,

it is the tone policy of banks, in the admin
istoation of the earreney, that it should nev

which may lead to an injurious export of
specie, so it is no less their true policy so to
preserve thoir currency at that level of value
which may avoid too great an influx of spe
oie, for a super flux is nearly as bad &s a de
ficiency. The Bank of England has been

To the Senate and House of Representatives of
the Confederate States:
The undersigned, merchants and millers of
Petersburg, Virginia, respectful!} represent
to yonr honorable body, that we were notified
this morning by Maj. Robert Tanny hill, A OS,
that he intends to take from us one-half of
our eniite stock of Extra Superfine Flour,
and pay tberefor $19 60 per barrel, and has
declared bis purpose, if necessary, to use
military force to obtain possession of our
property. About twb mouths ago he took
from us evQTy barrel- of superfine flour that
we bad. The flour that he now proposes to
lake has been selling for several weeks in our
market at prices varying from $23 to $28 per
Muoh of it has cost
without Complaint to. me
impressment of our property for public uses,
provided we were paid the “just compensa
lion,” promised by the Constitution. Wo
would obeerfuily submit to the arbitration
proposed by tbe Bill now pending before Con
gross. But we protest in the name of j nation
and tbe Constitution (we know.of no LAW
upon tbe subject) against the arbitrary con
fiscation of our property. As to tbe differ
enoa be ween the price tendered and tbe real
value of the flour, tbe contemplated cut of
the Commissary • is confiscation. We. know
that the army must be fed, Irtit ir is not right
that wo should be made to feed it at our own
expense. Justice requires that this burden
should be borne equally by all onr fellow-cit
tens.
army have increased the consumption and
ihe demand. This one cause—increased de
mand—has always been more potent than al^
the frowns and denunciations of those who
ought somebody*was to blame for it; and
all the lectures, homilies and anathemas of
would-be moralists and' penalties of misdi
rected legislation have uiterly failed to ro-
press it or mitigate the evil. It never was
controled either in times of war or peace,
and never will be; and the sooner this is
found oat the belter it-will bo for the world.
There are other causes we could name, that
have in some measure helped to enhance
prices, which one space is too limited to al-
lude-to in this place.
But there is' one cause, greater than all
others combined, which is our redundant
currency. Every thing decreases in valne as
it increases in quantity. We have now more
than five times as much money as we had
when trade was in a healthy oondition. Mo
ney has become cheap on acoonnt of its su
perabundance. This cheapness of money-
reduction of its value—is mumi'ested in the
greatly enhanced price of every commodity
that money usually buys. It takes upon an
average of from three to five times as many
dollars to buy an article now, as it did before
the war. Corn, for inatanoe, used to be worth
60 cents per bushel—now it is $2 60. So
money is cheap on account of its redundan
cy.
For this, the government alone is responsible
—not the people; and the agents of this same
government are now trying to lower prices,
which the government itself has put up, by the
exercise of unlawful arbitrary and tyranical as
sumptions of power. It is trying to crush out
the fruits of its own doings—the inexorable cons
sequence of its own lack of wisdom. by unlaw
ful, despotic and crnel acts. The government has
issued too much paper money,and has made too
little provision to sustain its credit. It has been
easy lor Congress to pass bills, to issue notes,
but it seems to have found a difficulty in levying a
tax. A government that puts ou t this kind of pa-
per without an adequate tax to meet so much as
the interest, must expect its issues to depreciate.
Unless Congress will-arouse itself anil lay a
heavy direct ta* that will maintain the credit of
its large paper issues, the currency will go low
er and still lower in value and public confidence
till after a time some will start the cry of repu
diation, and try to get the people to indorse
such a dishonest proposition.
Tho government is more to blame than any
thing else—more than all other causes combin
ed—for the high prices, and we are opposed to
making individuals suffer for their past neglects
and short comings. Let some plan be devised
to fun'd our notes as far as possible, and lot a
heavy tax be laid - one 1 hat will not only pay
the interest on the public debt, but absorb a large
amount of our currency.' This, and this alone,
or some measure that will effect similar results
can arrest the advance in prices and the te.td-
ency _to^ depreciation,
wisdom contained in the following |
. The Richmond Ecaminer in commenting
on these unlawful seizures, says:
■The country must bo defended Soldiers
cannot fight unless they are fed. If the gov
ernment cannot supply its army from the
markets, it i-> bound to take the food wher
ever found. While asaok of flour or a pound
of boot remains in the Southern Confederacy
itmnst go to keep a soldier strong. No sane
man questions the right of the Government
to take the flour. But when If takes property,
the Government should pay for it. If it looks
flour, it does not lack paper money. It shohld
pay, and pay the true, not a false price. Not
only is this the dictate of eommon honesty,
but tho promise i- clearly written down in
the Confederate Constitution, that tbe pro
party of no citizen shall be taken for public
nse without “just compensation.”
This is sound doctrine, and we indorse
it.
As
We hear it said of late that through the ef
forts of speculators and extortioners, pro
visions have gone up to each a price that the
Government oannot afford to buy them at ru
ling rates; that it is a greater expense than
the Government can incur. If this be so,
Government oannot purchase bread and
meat, then we ask how can individuals l
But we deny that the prices are higher
than Government can pay—especially do we
deny that prices would bo too high for it to
make all its porohases at ruling rates, if onr
finances were, or had been properly man
aged ; and we utterly deny that speculators
have been tbe cause or the high prices, or
that the present state of affairs could have
been produced by the combined efforts of all
the speculators oh earth. Speculators al
ways take advantage of a rise in prioe3 to
sell what they have, and to buy more and
sell again for the sake, of a profit; but they
can’t put up prices any more than a fanner
can make propitious seasons. The farmer
takes advantage of Spring and Summer and
their reviving showers to make a crop, but
he can’t make the seasons. Jast at with
speculators. They cannot put np the prices
of articles which would otherwise be low.—
Prices are regulated by laws which are fixed,
well defined, and infinitely beyond human
control; aud no efforts or influence of any
man or set of men, oan jostle them out of
their course. Speculators can’t put tip prioes
or control them. They can ask and obtain
prices which the immutable laws of trade
acd othar circumstances have established

The Situation.
With reference to the campaign in Middle
Tennessee the enemy can save themselves the
• rouble of speculation, and rest assured that
Bragg's army is in better condition and better
organized, is larger, healthier and more bent up
on the mission than it has ever been. Murfrees
boro was a great fight, but the next will be a
greater one. Van Dorn’s great exploit, the cap
ture of a whole brigade, and demoralization of
the.whole division, is the signal and initial to
oiir forthcoming operadous.
The enemy has made, or rather is reported to
have made, an advance in two directions. The
one towards Triune, the other towards Mc
Minnville, occupying Woodbury on the way.
Our people arc on'the watch.
Van Dorn’s prisoners have reached Shelby-
ville. “A fine looking lot of blue birds,’ ’ writes

Death of James I>. Petlgru.
The mail brings us the melancholy tidings
of tho death of James L. Petigiu, of Charles
ton, in the 74th year of his age. Art intima
cy of many ysars enables us to speak of him
according to the measure of his deeertsi.
Cast in the mould of a pure and lofty nature,
his moral nn'd mental constitution exhibited
that happy balance that belongs to the “just
man made perfect.” Eduoated to the- law, he
made law; as far as lay within the scope of
his praotico, the minister of justice. Deeply
versed in iis most recondite researches, he
was emphatically a philosophical jurist aud
advocate, seeking, and never seeking in vain,
for the general principle by which the intri
cacies presented by difficult cases, could be
governed and solved. With* the technicalities
of his profession hie was familiar, bnt never
employing them to defeat the ends of justice.
The snbterfnges of pleading and of practice,
he abhorred. In the superior conrtB of law,
hie opinions were held in high respect by the
Judges, as in all judicatures of high author
ity, the bar and the bench are geneially in
mental sympathy, on all the most important
legal questions.
In his moral constitution, Mr. Petigru was
most happily constituted. Of a cheerful and
social temperament, his disposition was no
less genial than tender and humane. He was
ever the advocate of the oppressed, and. the
enemy of tyranny; ready always to vindi
cate the right and rectify and redress what
was inequitable and wrong. With a charity
as large as his liberality was comprehensive,
he had no shade of prejudice to darken the
clear light of his understanding, or divert
his large heart from the bent of its hottest,
impulses. - After a career of nselnlnees that
has. given his name to history, and or high
honor that presents an example to be followed
if not envied, he has departed in the ripeness
ot hisfeme and maturity of his gifts, leaving
the most poignant feelings' of sorrow among
those who were honored by his friehdship,
and of deep regret by the -community in
whioh he was one of the most distinguished
ornaments. £
