Considering the amount of specie now held in the United States, and the immense quantities of breadstuffs which we have on hand and are capable of produc~ ing annually, to meet the wants of Europe, it may be confidently asserted that, at no period in the history of this country has it been so well prepared to withstand a drain upon its resources as now, and that there is no people in Christendom possessing to a greater extent tho elements of ‘power ‘and | self sustenance. The amount of specie ** in the American Banks and the Treasury of the Federal Gov- ernment” is stated by the Times at about $50,000,000. If this were the extent of our stock of the precious metals, there might be || some grounds for the views expressed by thatijourrial ; ‘but it is much greater, as we shell presently show. This being an ims ‘portant ‘point in the examination of our fi- nancial strength, we have prepared, with much care, an estimate of the amount of specie now held in this country. Our data are obtained from the Reports of the Treas- ‘ury Department and Mint, and may, there fore, be relied on as correct. Prior to the year 1820, no official account of the exportations and importations of spe cie appears to have heen kept. Sinte that time, however, the 1mports and exports of the precious metals have beer carefully not. ed, and a comparison is, there, easily made. The amount of specie in the country in 1820 has beeen estimated by different wri- ters : : $40,000,000 Taking this as & farting point, we Sid must add thereto the following sums, viz; ' Amount of bullion and &oin import. ed into the United States from 1820 to 30th June, 1860, Amount of gold and silver, of do- mestic production, deposited at the Mint establiehment during the same period, Amount of excess of specie and bul- lion imported, and bullion deriv- ed from the mires of the United States over exports of the same, from 30th June 1860. to 31st Oc- tober, 1861, (estimated, ) 340,161,876 492,896,634 100,000.000 Making altogether the sum of $973,008,561 From which must be deducted the Sheuis and bullion exported from 20 to October 31, 1860, 688,640,608 Leaving as the amount of specie in the United States on 31st October, 861, $284,361,953 Making due allowance for the precious metals used for manufatturing purposes, which it 18 believed has not much exceeded the amount of coin and bullion brought into the country by private hands, and by the overland route from Mexico ; and estimating the amount of coin in the States in rebellion, at twenty millions of dollars, it may be safe- ly assumed that the loyal States of the Un- ion hold at this time not less than two hun~ dred and fifty millions of dollars in specie, or five times the amount upon which the calcu. fations of the London Times are based. This is certainly a sufficient basis for all the bonds and stocks which the Government may find it necessary to issue, and it is not likelv to be disturbed very soon, for the reason that the annual bullion product of the United States is not less than fifty millions of dol- lars, which, wih our surplus breadstuffs, will be amply sufficient to pay for all the articles we are likely to require from abroad, at least during the continuance of the war. If the foregoing statements are correct— and we think they cannot be refuted—our financial position is one of extraordinary strength, and will enable us, with due econ- omy, and a wise administration upon public affairs, to maintain thé national credic un- impaired, until the rebellion shall have been crushed and an honorable peace attained. — In order, however, to maintain the present high credit of the Government, it is neces- sary that the people will it. Having reso: lutely put their shoulders to the wheel, in a day of gloom and mistrust, they must not look back, especially at a time when every- thing appears so hopeful as at present, but continue to freely furnish ¢‘the sinews of war,’’ and co all that is necessary to main- tain the public credit, while our brave sol- diers are defending our natienality upon the perilous field of battle. Duty, patriotism and elf preservation require this at the hands of the people of the loyal States.

BROWNLOW, a Editor of the Kuoaville Whig. October 24, 1861. Col. John Cochrane on Our War Policy on the Slavery Question—A Great Mis take, In our published report (which we have no dotibt 1s correct) of the rémarkable speech delivered by Col. John Cochrane to his reg- iment—the New York First Chassgours—we find these observations to wit: ‘ Suppose, said the speaker, our army encotinters myriads of cotton bales, and we are able to export these cotton bales to Eu- rope and reccive from them millions upon millions of the sinews of war, do you say we should not seize the cotton ? You are clear upon that point. Suppose that munitions of war, that sebsistance for their army are within our reach, would we would we not be guilty of shameful neglect were we not to appropriate them to our own use ? Certain- ly we would, Suppose the enemy advances against you, would you, from any squcam ishness, from any. false delicacy, refrain from leveling the hos: ile gun andgwostr: them to death? No. Tt is yous alicet, i is your purpose. Then if you seize tier property, if you open their ports. if you de- stroy their lives, | ask you whether you will not arm their slhwes and whether you will not carry them by battalions into war against 2 t ther masters 2” This proposition is repeated mn another part of the speech, in which, ifa general confisca ion of the property of rebels will not bring them back to their old allegiance to the Union. Colonel Cochrane says:—“Do all this, and, if that be not sufficient, take the slave by the hand, place a musket in it, and hid him in God’s name strike for the free- dom of the Human race.” (Great cheering.) Now, we say that in this radical and start- ling proposition Colonel Cochrane has com mitted a great mistake. © What would be the consequences of a general arming of the slaves against their masters? The bloody scenes of St. Domingo all over the South, in- volving the most horrible atrocities of savage violence and butckery upon the helpless wo- men and children of the white race, anda savage war of extermination between the two races, ending Perhaps, only with the exterm- ination of both whites and blacks. Arm the slaves? No! Col. Cochrane, no! That way leads us to universal slaugh- ter and an indefinite reign of anarchy. Our true policy, and our only safe policy, is that of President Lincoln —-¢‘the integrity of the Union.” What says General Sherman in his address to the people of South Carolina ? Murk his words : “Carolinians, we have have come ariong you as loyal men, fully impressed with our constitutional ebligations to the citizens of your State. Those obliga- tions shall be performed as far as in our power ; but be pot deceived.” He implores them to pause and reflect ;— he warns them that this rebellion will be put down. He speaks not as a ruthless invader who has come among them to waste. pillage, ard destroy, but as a benefactor whose mis- sion it is to save and restore all the bless- ingsof the good government which those foolish people have thrown away. There can be no necessity *in any event, to arm the slaves of the South against their masters. We can employ the slaves of rebel masters in a much better way. The shovel, the hoe, the rake and the woodman’s axe are the proper tools to put into the hands of thy slaves. While our army is necessarily engaged in consuming and destroying, let us at least keep the slaves of rebels falling into our hands employed in the work of producing and saving, and let us make it manifest that the only hope of safety to this peculiar in~ stitution of Southern slavery is the Union and we shall soon disarm this rebellion. In the border slave States, slavery has received a shock from this war, from which it will soon die out, and free white labor will more profitably take its place. But slavery in the cotton States is a different thing, and there we must maintain it if we desire “the inleg~ rity of the Union.’ We hope that Col. Cochrane will make no more stump speeches until he shall have achieved something in the way of fighing.- - Let him follow the example in speechmaking of General McClellan. meantime, by declin- ing to make speeches, and he will be acting like a sensible soldier. As for the report that the Secretary of War, out and out, on the spot, endorsed this last and very impru- dent speech of Colonel Cochrane, we cannot believe it. Our reporter must have misun.. derstood General Cameron’s remarks or the General must have failed to hear distinctly the remarks which he has been made to en- dorse ag his own. The administration has never never dreamed, in any extremity, of arming the slaves of the South against their masters. The case of Fremont is conclusive upon this matter.—N. Y.

Y., Union, narrates that Chduney Coe. of Ca- wandaigua, died twenty years ago, leaving a widow, son and daughter, with a compe- tence. The widow devoted herself to her: children. The daughter grew up and mar- ried. The son, upon attaining his majority, engaged in the manufacturing business and went to Calfiornia. Soon after arriving his manufactory was destroyed by fire, and he found himself penniless in the streets of San Francisco. He suddenly disappeared, and for twelve years his fate was unknown. Meantime, some years after his disappear- ance, a childless uncle, (Blah Coe, of Buffa- lo,) died, and by will left him and hiy sister ample property for life, with reversion to their children, but with a provision that in case of their death without issue, the rever- sion should go to educational and charitable institutions. Under the will, the sister has enjoyed her share of the rents and profits, the share of the lost one meantime being, under the di- rection of the conrt, deposited in a savings bank, until after some seven years having elapsed, the two reversionary institutions instituted proceedings to secure his share of the property. The court, upon a full hear- ing, decided that after this lapse of time, he must be judicially dead, and that one of the claimants should enter upon the enjoy~ ment of its portion of the rents and profits. As to the other. its charter not permitting it to take real estate, it was thrown out alto- gether, and that share not being legally eon- veyed by the will reverted to their heirs at law unconditionally, who are these same children. During all this time, the sister’s husband, with a zeal and pertinacity worthy of all commendation, had been unremitting in his endeavors to find the lost one. After all else had been compelled to believe him long ead, he has continued to spend time and money in his discovery, He has communi- cated with every American Consel of the islands of the Pacific and Australia. He has sent circulars, offering a large reward, to California and Oregon. He has advertised with a reward in the papers of the shipping and whaling ports ; he has received many communications from sea captains and oth ers, professing to give information, which has always proved erroncous, until at last, every endeavor having proved futile, and even a mother’s hope discouraged, whose locks have become white in the long, sleep less agony of waiting for the return of an only and beloved son, within the last month suddenly, and without the least previous notice, the truant drives up to th: mother’s door. Alive and well, with face burned and bronzed to parchmeat, by exposure to sun and wind, he has come back at last to that mother and that sister, who have so long mourned him as lost and dead to them for ever, ¢And there wad joy in that house.” And where upon this earth had the truant been hidden, that a mother’s and a sister’s love could wot find him ? Why, in the only part of the globe that has not been searched for him. In Soyth Africa, far up rom the Cape, for many years, and in China several times.— He was employed in the Caftre war. He has hurited elephants and zebras. He has dwelt with and driven cattle with the natives. He has met with losses by wreck and by fire. — He has suffered fevers and the incidents of wandering life, until, at last, in middle age, the yearning to once more see his native land, and embrace his aged mother and his sister became too strong to be resisted. Ile sailed to Liverpool, and thence to New York, and there, for the first time, heard tidings of his fortune, and that of all the letters he had written home not oue had been received. pw B eta A SHORT STORY BY Dickens.—Dickens tell the following story of an American sea cap- tain : On his last voyage home, the captain had on board a young lady of remarkable per sonal attractions—a phra e I use as one being entirely new, and one you never meet with in the newspapers. This young lady was loved intensely by five young gentlemen passengers, and. in turn, she was in love with them all very ardently, but without any particular prefevence for either. Not knowing how to make up her determination in this dilemma, she consulted my friend the captain. The Captam, being a man of an original turn of mind, says to the lady, « jump overboard, and marry the man who jumps after you.” The young lady, strack with the idea, and being natually fond of bathing, especially in warm weather, as it then was, took the advice of the captain who had a boat ready manned in case of accident. Accordingly the next morning, the five lov- ers being on deck and looking very devoted- ly at the young lady, she plunged into the sea headformest. Four of the lovers imme- diately jumped in after hér. When the young lady and her four lovers were got out again, she says to the Captain: What am I to do with them now, they are so wet 2" Says the captain, * Take the dry one!"— And the young lady did, and married hin. eel Be TaxiNG A Fair View oF THE MATTER. —George Bromley, of Preston’ Conn,. while sitting on the railroad track a few days since was struck by a passing train, and pitched into the bushes.

Being in compa~ ny with a few intimates one evening, one of them remarked to him, that if she was hik wife —since all other things had failed—he would frighten her in some way, so that she would quit her evil habit, and proposed the following method : that sometime when dead drunk, she should belaid in a box shaped like a coffin, and left in that situation until her fit should be over, and conciousness re- stored. " A few evenings after, the dame being in & proper state, the plan was put into execu. tion ; and after the hox lid ‘was secured, the party before alluded to watched, each in turn, fo witness the result, About daylight next morning the watch heard a movement, laid himself down by the box, when her la. dyship, after bumping her head a few times was heard to say : ¢ Bless me where am [ 2” \ The outsider answered, in a Sepulchral tone : Madam, you are dead and in the other world.’ A pause ensued, after which the lady inquired again: ¢ Where are you 2’ ‘Oh I am dead, too,” said he. “Can you tell me how long I have been dead ?"’— *¢ About three weeks.” ¢ How long have you been dead #’ * Four months.” -¢ Well you have been here so much longer than I have can’t you tell me where 1 can get a’ lit- tle gin 2” re Artem AFTER THE BATTLE. —A volunteer who was in the fight at Fredericktown, Mo., gives a graphic picture of the battle field after the fight was over: ‘ ; «In returning [ passed through the ‘field where Col.

The Johnstown Tribune recently gave the facts of a distressing case of a family. breave- ment in the household of Mr. P. P. Lehman, who lost four children within a month by diptheria. The same paper of last week re- lates the following equally sad case: By letter before vs from Mr. James Conrad, of Washington township. we learn that he and his whole fam ly have been prostrated for weeks with the typhoid tever, from the effects « f which he is just recovering.- Three deaths occurred in his family during the month of October from the disease—a son and two davghters, one aged 19, one 17, and one 15 years.
