Inanciul IMllerences "Under Which King, Uezouian t" Tab laudable desire of an American citizen to asoertaiu for himself what would be for the good of his country, would naturally lead him to attempt an investigation of the finances of liis native land, and seek to ascertain, from Borne of those writers who have given the subject their attention, what is the correct polloy for our Seoretary of the Treasury. If lie Bets about this national task, he will soon find how vain is all trust in human intellect. There .appear not to be any two thinkers of the present day who conour In any plan which true polioy for our nation. would be the We remark this with surprise. Before now differences in other matters. we have round Questions of publio concern generally have two sides to them, and each writer follows one banner. But in the present case there is an army, eaoh man of which carries his own standard and fights Under his own flag. They differ not in detail, but at the very foundation. We notice the two leading New York papers of yesterday? the Tribune and the Herald, took occasion, on he publication of the Report of the Secretary the Treasury, to comment on the contents I that document and to express their views the subject of finauoe in general. Reading the two articles side by side calls lo mind the journey of Dou Qiixote and Janoho Fanza. Let the national banks be the Windmill, and the parallel is perfect. "For lone," oriodthe Don, "directs our affairs. Look yonder, Sancho, there are at least thirty out rageous giants whom I intend to enoounter, and having deprived them of life, we will begin to enrioh ourselves with their spoils; for they are lawful prizes, and the extirpation Of that cursed brood will be an acceptable servioe to heaven." "What giants V quoth Sanoho. Tray look better, sir; those things are not giants, bat windmills, and the arms are their sails, which, being whirled about, make the mill go." The difference of opinion between our contemporaries is as great as that of the knight and his squire; and what with the Don Of the Herald and the wild ideas of the Sancho of the Iribune, and his attempts to con' vince his neighbor, we do not wonder that people buy land, and begin to tremble at the mention of national finances. Let us instance . a point of difference. The Ti ibune, in speak ing of the circulation, favors a total with drawal of all legal-tender,- and the substitu tion in its place of national bank notes. It says: "LegaUienders are a 'forced loan'1 a tort of legal robbery, adapted only to a slate of war. Tiiey de not conalitute a paper-money currency, per manently secured, aod adapted to a slate of peace. The National Bunk note do. There Is nothing of tbn character of robbery or force about them. Tbey are not depreciated Govern, merit lk-B. 1 hey represent no brolceu promises, 2 hey are well-secured promises to pay 'dol lars.' "Ay paper currency, to deserve the name, must be 1. Becured; 2. Redeemable. Green backs are neither, 'ibey area, siautllnoj adver tisement that the United Mtaleg ar Insolvent. Ihe national hanking system will furnish us a currency both secured aud redeemable In gold, to soon as the tJovemment. aud the couotry shall return to specie paymtnls. Ills Impossi ble to do It before. "We ruoBt bave some banking system adapted to a condition of peace. The leijal-tenders arena banking system whatever, but a forced loan. They bave no seLf-rrgulaiiug, expat Hive and contrac tive power, adapted to the business wants of the community," The question here is fairly met anl decided in favor of the bank notes. In fact, the article and language are so strong that we almost begin to pity the poor creature who could favor "greenbacks," and think that, after all, but few people are so deluded, and that that question is satisfactorily settled. But in look ing at the Herald, where are our conclusions J That paper ftaiutains direotly the reverse, With quite equal energy. It says: "The Secretary speaks, of ihe banke being connected with the creditor the Government.' He has not the hardihood to sy tuey are iieoes tsary to II credit. Yen, they are connected with the credit 01 the Governments-thai is, the Gov ernment lends theru 1U credit to bank upon, and makes iu addition a gratuity to them oi a national clroulatin-r medium. It is a ono-slded aflalr, aud the banks Ret alt the benefit. They are a no earthly use to the credit of the Govern tnent and ntver can be. It is a monstrous monopoly, drawing upon the credit lent to them, and the circulation giveu to then), fifteen or Blxteen per cent, from the industrial earnings of the people. Mr. Mot'ulloch aud the Comp troller of the Currency endeavor to make It appear that the banks do uol receive this enor kious benefit, and that there would be no sav ing by the saustltutlou of a leal-ieuder cur rency for national bank circulation, aod they particularly refer to the. taxes the banks pay by Uie way of sustaining their argument. This is limply ridiculous, and an lusult to the common lense of the nation. JFe want no contraction, imionly a uniform currenci by substituting legal lenders for the natUinal bank circulation. We fcball s,row up to specie payments. If that be dehlrable, williin a few years through the natu ral growth, of population, business, aud the . country." Here, then, in language quite as emphatlo, and with argument almost as Bpeoiou3, the Opposite i held foni. The patient is lying senseless. Says docto. 0f tUe K00t "it Is apoplexy; bleed him t,,iyf and draw. thft Mood from the head." Ba, aootor of the Hew sohool, "It is exhaustion; yoa valae Jiis life, not a drop of blood must drawn Stimulants are all that can save hlm.v Anil we UDprofeBsionals stand nndeolded, and woid It cause great surprise if, meanwhile, the patient died 1 Yet, to the unflnancial eye, the diaoussion between our financiers looks not unlike our sick-bed parallel. The two great divisions which present irre concilable differences may be called the con tractionist and expansionists. The first desire to withdraw the legal tenders from circulation and substitute In their place a ppecie currency. This view of the question has been substan tially declared in . favor of by the actions of Cimgresa and the repeated support of the Seo retary of the Treasury. By law that officer was authorized to withdraw four millions per month, if be deemed it expedient. There seemi to b9 little doubt that, unless a financial revulsion takes place, such a polioy will be the one at- I tempted. If this idea is not carried to an ex cess, it will not necessitate the withdrawal o1 the National Bank notes, for as these notes are not fictitious in value, but represent so much capital in national bonds, and as, by the resumption of specie payments, so far as the legal-tenders are concerned, the bonds become worth their face value in gold, therefore the notes will really be the representative of gold, and will circulate on a par with coin. Such seems to be the course marked out by Mr. McCulloch. It is bitterly attacked, however, by the expansionists, who declare that with contraction and an attempt at resumption will come stagnation of business, prostra tion of trade, in fact, financial ruin; that all the past teaches ns that in seasons of depres sion, expansion is the only cure; that Great Biitain has again and again ridden free of the storm by an increase of her circulation, aud that tor ns to contraot when we are already weak is a suicidal polioy. They favor expansion, and numerous are the plans proposed. The Herald and its advocates wish to Bee all the national bank notes returned, and in their place let ns issue a yet larger sup ply of "greenbacks." In other words, there are now about $700,000,000 of note3 and green backs; call them all in, and issue new "green, backs" to the amount of say $1,000,000,000. This will carry the oountry through the present depression, will cut off the profits of the na tional banks, and reduce these institutions, which are named by these opinionists as little better than the giants which Don Quixote charged upon, to mere oompanies for disoount and deposit. To this the oontraotionists reply that none of the remedies proposed would be a remedy; it would be but postponing the evil day, and make it ten times worse when it comes; that expansion cannot continue forever, and that we had better suffer and resume now, when we have but $700,000,000, rather than increase the trouble in the future by making the circulation half as large again; that it is but a temporary makeshift, and neither war ranted by prudenoe nor policy. Such is the difficulty in which our people are placed. How shall we decide between the two ? Each is but a theory. Eaoh seems plausible and well founded until we hear the other. Bat the opposition utterly annihilates all the simplest principles of its opponent. With one or the other we would be satisfied, but wjth both our nation can only say, "How happy I would be with either, were t'other dear charmer away." Not wishing to be . partisans of either theory, we state each, and let our readers choose for themselves, if they feel inclined to form a decided opinion. . The End Approaching. It is not neoessary that the mighty enter prise which is slowly completing the Pacifio Railroad Bhould finish its task before we reap the advantages. ' Already is the effdet per ceptible in the increased facility and rapidity of connection between us and the Pacifio coast. Up to the present date it has always been much quicker to send the mails by steam ship than it was across the Plains. So much, however, of the road is now completed as to take less time to forward the mails by the railroad, so far as it is completed from the West, than to send them by express across the intervening distance until they meet the line pushing from the East, whence they come direct to Philadelphia by mail. Aocording to the old method, it required twenty-three days to come by sea; now the mails whioh arrive te-day come direct in fifteen days. This is unprecedented, and when we remember the importance of speed in business letters, it is of incalculable advantage. The New York Herald, in speaking of this fact, Says: "The fact that It la now possible la due to the nnmuv wMnn ban been manifested by the liniou Pacifio Kailroad Company in the cou- struct iou cf the great national Une whlofc that corporation nas bad In hand. The total time- from Japan to New Yorn is now reuueeu to aboot forty days, while the Liverpool mer chants may receive their advloes by this route in nine or teu uays more. The industrial armies who are digging and blasting a way for the lo comotive, ti.iough the Itocky Mountains aud the frtlerra Nevada are worklug as directly in the interests of Mew York unu European capi talists aud merchants as of those personally connected with the railroad companies. In five years hence the wonder will be, not that any parties were audacious enough to. project and build a Pacifio Hallroad, but that the busi ness men of t his city and of the country were so long content to do without it." The Bigns of the times cannot be mistaken. It is not merely by the report of the Company that the approach of the end is seen, but facts epeak too plainly to deoeive. The great project of the century is nearing its comple tion, and the vast current of trade will ere long begin to flow in the channels whioh the myriads of laborers and the millions of capital are now preparing for its reoeption. And with that opening will come a commercial revolu tion. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

To get a Just and comprehen. alveldeaof this, one must study the map. It will be noticed that Ibis system divides itself ""Rurally Into three great parta an eastern, ce'W), and western; the valley of the Ohio rlv r ov,BtllnUng ue eastern, the valley of the Mltfc,ls,Pioroper constituting the central, and the valley oi lna Missouri constituting the wet tern.

Iti navigation extends from St. Paul In the north to New Orleans In the Hotttli, aud from Oil City in the KiiMt to Fort Bunion In the West. 1U headwaters In the East drain Western New York and Pennsylvania; In the North, Minne sota and Wisconsin; and In the West, Montana and IlritiBii Columbia. Tue trip from Pittsburg t Fort Benton In Montana by steamboat Is not only practicable, but has t een an actual fact of more than a si ogle occuirence In the course of commerce. Ihe productions of this vast region embrace nearly all vailelies of all climes, from the cotton, rlce,sui4u om e. and oranges of the lower Mississippi to i lie peii o.cum, ooal, aud Iron of Pennsylvania, the whe itund lumber of Mlnne eota and WIhoouMi), I tin bulfiloe of Kansas, the furs ot Brilisu Columbia, and the gold dust of Montana. The E.iHlem d.vlsli n of this great river sys tem, or the Ohio vulley, has been pretty wel developed. It nan given us the spleudldagrl c- 1 tu re or Bouiheru Ohio, Indiana, aud Illinois end of Kentucky, and the mineral and manu facturing Interest of whioh Pittsburg and Cin cinnati are thechiol coutres, which together can hardly have les than half a lullllou of popu lation within their limits or immediate de pendencies. The Central division, or the Mississippi val It y proper, lain progress of development, but aa yet Iim vast resources have been but slightly brought out. The agriculture of lis lower seo tlou, including the production of cotton, rice, and sugar-cane, is in a very rude and primi tive condition. It was much prostrated by the war, a i..d nas not j et recovered eveu lis former (talus. Its cBpubililles, however, are en nn nis; and whenever the political sondlilou of th e coun try shall have become pernraneitly sottled, so that capital can be snfely used In those sec tions, no porlidn of the country will advauoa more rapidly in population aud wealth than the Lower Mississippi valley. ' New Orleans will then regain her former Importance as a commercial point, and will advance with more rapid strides than ever before. '! he regions of the npptr Mississippi, Includ ing those portions of Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota which are i m medi an ly tributary to tne rtv. r, are lu the prooass ot rapid arowlh and development. There aie liiinjeiibe mineral resources of lum ber, Iron, lead, uud coul in these regions, that are just beginning to be turned to account, and tbat point to the future establishment of a man uiacturlng Interest, at 81. Louis which will pro bably eclipse any ibiug of the kiud In the couo try. Ihe agricultural tesonrces of this part of thevilley ;ue exhautless. Iowa, Minn .-sola, and Wisconsin are among the greatest wheat growing Stales in tho Union. Western Illinois raises Immense quantities of corn, stock of all kinds, and is a country kindly adapted to the peach and grape. It also ubouuds In coal. The pineries of the Upper Mississippi are extensive aud valdable. The natural outlet fir all this country Is by way of the Mis slbsippl river, and if there were great city like Now York or Philadelphia at Us mouth, nothing could prevent the Oow of oo tu me roe In that direction. But the great commercial centres or the country, regulating our foreign trade, are situated on our AUantto seaboard, and bave determined the rail way sys tem of tue country into an almost exclusively east and west system, so that there is a oonslaat tendenoy to counteract the natural flow of the trade of the West, as determined a priori by her rivers, end to carry It to tho Kastern seaboard. The events of the past six yeirs have weli-nlgh established this, to some extent at least, artifi cial direction of commerce In the United States. Its first great impetus, however, was given by the geulus of thut far- seeing statesman, De Witt Clinton, when he projected and established the Erie Canal, connecting the great lakes with the tide-waters or the Atlantio. Had be lived a quarter century earlier or later, New York and New Orleans might perchance bave exchanged places,' Such is the luflueuce which a great mind often exerts upon the destinies of a coun try. There are now nearly a score of railway lines touching the Mississippi at various points from St. Louis up, and leading away to the East. These roads bring little or no commerce to the river, but, on the contrary, are so many artificial channels by which its trade is carried away to the Atlantic seaboard, Instead- of find. Ing i's natural course to the Gulf of Mexico. Many of these lines cross the Mississippi and extend their Iron arms around to the valley of tbe Missouri. ... There is nothing more interesting to the thoughtful observer than this mighty east and west flow of commerce In tbe United States It shows tbe power of man to compete with tbefoicesof nature on a great soale. Nothing seems more lu accordance with tbe laws of nature than that the trade of the Mississippi valley and its tiibutarlts should have concen trated at the mouth of that river. It Is as natu rains tbat water should run down hill. Yet the bulk of that mighty commerce is directed fiom Us natural channels, Is carried away over rivers and mountains, aud distributed to the world from a distant seaboard. I have hardly lefi niytelf room to speak of what I have denominated the Western, or Mis souri valley, dlvislou of this great river system; yet, for tbe sake of presenting a couueoted View of the subject, I will tax the reader's atten lion a little further. . The Missouri river Is really the great parent river, aud tbe Mississippi is Hub true tributary Above their junction at Alton the Missouri 1.4 tbe larger stream, has tne greater number of tributaries and more important ones, is the longest river by nearly a thousand miles, aud drains by far tbe wider ex tout of couuuy. Tbe Missouri rises in the Kocky Mountains, as far west as tbe longitude of Salt Lake, aud ab onl in the latitude of Northern New Yoik. Its firs course is for a long distance northward, until It almost reaches the British possessloas, and here, away at tula northernmost point, lu higher latitude than that of Quebec, it become a navigable stream, for steam uoats of a large capacity. It maiutalua an easterly course, without falling essentially from th'n high latitude, for about a thousand miles, re celvlug on Its way the Yellow Stone river, itself a navigable stream: It then commenoes to fall on" rupidly to the South until, at Kansas City, after flowing a thousand miles more, and re ceiving the Kansas aud Platte rivers, beside Innumerable smaller tributaries, It turns al mosi squarely to tbe east, traverses the entire State of Missouri, and unites with the Missis sippi a short distanoe above St. Louis. This grest valley Is as yet almost a ferra incognita. Through, tbe State of Missouri It is settled up along the stream, but the country baok Is still lo a great extent lu Us virgin condition. Tu eastern border of Kansas Is settled to some considerable extent; and there are some settle n.enis in Nebraska and Western Iowa. Above that, there is almost an unbroken wilderness clear to Fort Bonton, where the Montana trade la reached. The chief towns lu the M lssourl valley are Kansas City. Si. Jos. ph, Omaha, and Leaven vt orth. There Is more activity, more stir, more settlement, more development going on Just now Im tbe lower portion of the Miasouii valley, aay from Pt. Louis to Omaha, than in any other portion of the country. An Immense immigra tion is pouring Into Missouri and Kansas, espe cially along the lines of the railroads. A great deal or money, loo, Is In circulation from the great publio works which are In progress. The whole Kansas vslley Is fuof life from the construollou of the Kansas Pacifio Railroad, niieasirn:iar state or things provalls alow the valley of the Platte from the building of the Nebraska Pacifio III 11 road, more comm inly and strictly called the ' Uulon Pacifio." The development of the Montana gold regions U also giving a (treat Impetus to the trafflo of the upper Missouri. More than ninety boats, I am told, made the trip this sensou from St Louis to Fort Bento i, and Ihe number lu tbe trade for next season will probublyo still larger. Ibe resouro s or ibH gral valley are as yet almost wuolly undeveloped. The loer por tion of it comprises the very garden of the West lor agricultural productions. WhU cup cities the Upper Missouri v tiler will show In this rent eo: are still a matter of conjecture. Its rich tits In the precious minerals, however, Is fully estab Ished, and Is already stimulating a large nd profitable commerce. I bave tbu bilelly sketched the romark ible river system of the Mississippi and Us tribu taries. The world luruishes no parallel to It. IU development Is still in Its merest Infancy, yet It has built up great cities aud founded a mighty commerce. Persons are now living who will see It lnbnbl ed by a hundred mil lions of people and controlling the destinies it this country. The sceptre has already passed from the Atlantio slope, never to be regained. There is no longer any "West" thit side of tbe Kocky Mountains. Kansis Is the gergrapbloal centre of Ibe continent. This mighty valley, with Us teeming millions, is to be the future seat of the greatest and most wonderful empire tbat the world ha ever teit.1 T 1).
