The first ot-these interrogatories admi’s of a ]
ready reply. The Bank of England by raising
the rate of interest occasionally causes u tempo- j
rary scarcity of money, but as the rate of inter
est depends, in the long.run, on the rate of profit,
and this on the abundance of capital as compar
ed with the demand for it, it is impossible for |
any power to elevate or depress the rate of inter
est continuously. The o’fler question, whether |
the bank of England cannot so regulate ihe ex-

The report of the Military Committee to be
di c cli irged from the iurthor consideration of
the bill (o accept troops from Missouri and
Kontncky for a less period than three years,
gave rise to a lengthy and animated discus
sion in the House, on Monday last. In favor
of the acceptance of such troops, Mr. Foote,
of Tennessee argued that from the wars of
Cyrus the First to the present day, no judi;
cions commander had refused the-eervices of
able-bodied and high-spirited soldiers for any
length of time proposed. His own belief, was
“ that if wo would d > our whole duty, the
war would be brought to a close in the next
thirty days-” The grounds upon which Gov.
Footo predicates his belief that the war might
be brought to a close so qpon, arc known only
to thoso who have had the privilege of listen
ing to his arguments in secret session, and
ore supposed to have connection, with the re
port of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
upon tho resolutions in regard to the Yankee
States bordering on the Mississippi. It was
well, perhaps, that the distinguished speaker
checked himself before proceeding further on
this topio, as the opinion ia now becoming
universal, throughout the South, that any
hopes of a termination ot the war by a revo
lutionary dismemberment of the Northern
despotism, would be worso than fallacious.—'
In their effect nt least, they might beoomo
criminal.
While the Northwestern States of the old
oveynmonl retained any of the muniment of
their ancient liberties, tnoy might have sev
ered their qounectiou with the Now England
Slates, and ubfur-cd the banners of a sepa
rate nationality ; that limb has gone by. l’hd
hour of their oloctiou has passed They hxi
as gallant spirits hs ev< r drew sword in the
holy t-ayse ot freedom to sound tbe alarm and
stir up in their souls a manly resistance to
arbitrary and oppressive usurpations of- p>w-
er, but they beeuedtheqi not. ” Macedonian
gold was more powerful than the eloquence
of tho Athenian orator.” Tho counsels of
Vallandigham were spurned, and -now they
glory in their chains aud flaunt the badges ol
perpetual shame. Their rights, their liber |
ties, thpir laws, and tbe very boundaries which
hitherto marked the limits^ of their separate
sovereignties have all disappeared beneath -the
shadow of tbe dictator’s throne. It is now
too firmly established on the ruins of their
former government to.have much to fear from
disaffected or disloyal subjeois. Submission
is inevitable. What matters it to them wheth
er it be voluntary or constrained ? lienee, it
wei e criminal longer to induce or euoour-tge
a hope that, might tend to any relaxation of
that unconquerable and determined energy
wii-ich has so far borne us, in victory and 'n
confidence, through the darkest perio is of the
revolution, and on which alone, under a ben
eficial Providence, we must continue to rely
until we have acnieved our independence.—
The discussion on the motion to discharge'the
Committee from the further consideration of
the resolution, which would be equivalent to
refusing to receive Kentucky and Missouri
troops for a term of twelve months, resulted
in its adoption, but a mottos to reconsider is
nending, which may bring it up again at any
moment
British flag with their own. They may now
safely transport their treasure without fear
of the dreadful “pirate” xrom San Francisco
to New York, finder the flag of Great Bri
tain. Tne resolution of Mr.. Semmes looks
to this cute arrangement, and will be likely
to lead to such action ^ will derarge ihoir
plans. . >
The Exemption bill of theSena'o is still pend-
ng in ibe House, and it isImpossible to predict
what will b© its ultimate fate.- The position.of
the Senate in reference to it, as well as the point
ot difference between the two Houses is.luily
stated by Mr. Yancey. He said, “The -£ouse
had advanced the idea that the great laboring,
agricul'ural population was to be lclt to their
own uneducated and unenlightened efforts to pro
duce provisions which were as- essential to the
army as powder gnd shot. The Senate had re
jected that idea and must continue to reject alj,
ideas which exclude the consideration of the sus
tanencc of ihe army.” Either House must re
cede from its its present action or the E.xcintion
Law of last year will continue in force.
Two very important bills are now before the
Senate—one reported front the Committee on
Commerce to abolish all ports of Delivery in the
Confederate States; the other front the Com
mittee on the Post Office, declaring the tele
graph a pan of our.poetnl system, and lo provide
tor wording the same. As .both bills propose
material changes in our present revenue and pos
tal systems, 1 shall watch their progress and re
port insults.
The reports of Generals Polk, Hardee and
Cheatham of the action of their respective coips
at the battle of Shiloh, April6th and Till, 1862,
have been officially communicated to the House
and ordered to be printed. Commissioner Ould
has officially contradicted the Yankee newspa
per statement that the President had abandoned
the policy oi his Proclamation in reference to
Yankee officers captured since January 1, 1862.
On the contrary,Mr. Ould distinctly informed
the Federal Agent,' Ludlow, tlfai it would be
rigidly enforced. This will put ar end lo many
silly rumors which have obtained wide circula
tion and some credence.
The Grand ' Army of the Potomac—at* least
what m b y be left of it—is still supposed to be
encamped along me Rappahannock. The fiiteen
or twenty thousand men sent to Fortress Mon
roe and Newport News, were known to have
been demoralized, and were transferred to where
they could not easily desert. We are full ol
hope that the Yankee will soon become as tired
of Fort Pulaski as he is of Vicksburg. Ail liaii !

The country at large is indebted to Mr,
Kenan, of Georgia, for the adoption of a
rule no less expedient than absolutely neces
sary in view of the reckless maniu-r in which
the paramount and pressing interests of the
Oouutry have been neglected, chiefly -from
the undue attention claimed for questions of
litile or no immediate importance.
^Mr. Kenan’s resolution provides, that the
further consideration of ail ques.ions, report
of bills, resolutions, &c, be suspended until
the eurrency and tux bills are acted upon. It
was carried by Ayes 67 to Nays 10. The
currency bill has brert disposed of, and wt
have, in the ten votes against the resolution,
ten potent reasons for believing that the tax
bill will suffer no unnecessary delay; for
Buncombe will be impatient so long as the
doors of the House are barred against the
outside'world. It was generally-supposed
that tbe lax bill would be 'considered with
open doors, but it is intimately oonnooted with
the currency bill, and perhaps, from the con
sideration of greater -despatch to whioh I
have just alluded, it was deemed best, by a
very decided majority, to push it through in
sc ret session.
Themoit prominent new questions before
the Senate during the week, were tho report
from the Committee on Commerce in relation
to tho free navigation of fhe Mississippi riv
er and its tributarios, and the resolution ol
Senator Semm'es, of Louisiana,- instructing
the committee on the judiciary to inquire
into the expediency- ot revoking the assent
of the Confederate Government to the Decla
ration of the Paris Convention. “That the
neutral flag covers enemy’s goods with the
exception of contraband of war.” With re
spect to the former subjeot—the free naviga
tion of tho Mississippi, I have on a former
occasion, briefly stated the law of nations,
adopted and acted upon, on one memorable
occasion, by tha American Government. The'
Teport merely declaims' that that law, guar
antceing the rights of friendly reparian
States to the free navigation of the Mississip
pi and its tributaries shall not bo disturbed
by tbe Coe federate Government.
The object and importance of Mr. Semmes
resolution may be understood when we con
sider that the millions of gold drawn from
the rich bods of California are now shipped
by the terrified Yankee capitalists in British
bottoms, not to London but to New York, tbe
British flag having been admitted to (he
coasting trade of the United States on the
Atlantic and Paeific Oceans.-including the
inter-Oceanic transit between Aspinwall and
Panama. -You will remember that, in the
year 1854, among tbe last af the series of re
forms made^in the navigation laws of Great
Britain, was the throwing open to all friend
ly flags that chose to avail of the privilege,
the coasting trade not only of. the ports of
the united kingdom, but with a few except
ions, solely of fiscal character, tbe potts,
also, of all the Colonial possessions of the
British Crown, throughout the world. At
this moment at least seventy five per.
the people of Ohio desire peace—not that they 1

they would not make any and every sacrifice to
