Towanda, Thursday, January, 4, 1866. (IRREXCV. The President in bis Annual Message, while treating of the Currency, says that: '•Five years ago the bank-note circulation of the country amounted to not much more than two hun dred millions ; now the circulation, bank and na tional, exceeds seven hundred millions. The sim ple statement of the fact recommends more stAmg ly than any words of mine could do, the necessity of our restraining that expansion. The gradual reduction of the currency is the only measure that can save the business of the country from disaster ous calamities ; and this can be almost inpercept ibly accomplished by gradually funding the na tional circulation in securities that may be made redeemable at the pleasure of the government." It is doubtless true that there is a great difference between the circulating medium at present, and that five years ago ; but it is not exactly fair to compare the bank-note circulation five years ago, with the present currency. Then we had a large specie cir culation, which, with the bank-note circu lation, made up the currency, the two mak ing together over two hundred and fifty millions. Besides, most of the two hun dred millions of legal-tender Treasury notes, and the compound interest notes of over an hundred millions,are locked up in the banks, saving banks, trust and insurance compan ies, and the Controller of the Currency act ually estimates the entire circulation of currency at less than four hundred and six ty-one millions, thus making it nearly three hundred millions LESS than the amount sta ted by the President, a vast difference —not very far from one-halfl But there is another consideration which should have great weight in reducing our present currency, for that it should he re duced no one will deny ; but the extent of the reduction is the question. It is well known that five years ago the business of the entire country was at a stand-still point. Every where the cry of stagnation in business went up. The price of labor was fast approaching the European standard, and many of the workmen of the country were out of employment. These are stubborn facts ; and this is the healthy condition of the country which is suuglit after. The truth is, that five years ago the circulating medium of the country, was one third short of its real wants, and we depre ciate the idea of returning to that standard If people have forgotten the crushing influ ence of the insufficient currency, which weighed upon the country five years ago, they have only to look at the effects which our present surplus currency produces on business. Everything is stimulated, too much, to be sure, but a moderate, or sound stimulation, would be produced by a mod erate increase of our circulating medium. One great mistake which most of our cur rency writers make in applying the rules of political economy to our country, grows out of the fact that these rules, or laws, arose out of the experience of old countries, which are not always applicable to new ones. In the one, every tliiDg is developed, in the other, almost all is yet to be devel oped. In the one, there is a surplus of la bor,and it is consequently cheap,and makes every thing else cheap. In the other, labor is high, and other commodities are high in proportion, consequently, more capital is required to perform the same amount of la bor, or to manufacture the same article.— Hence it follows, that we have, in this new, undeveloped country of ours, need of more capital, or circulating medium,in proportion to the amount of business done, than in. an older one. Again, labor makes all capital, and as the real"*wealth of the nation in creases, the price of labor decreases, so that there is not often any need for increas ing the circulating medium for an old and fully developed community ; hut this will not hold good in a new one. There the con stant demand for capital to make new de velopments, makes a constant demand for an increasing circulating medium. If there fore, redundant currency could be left un disturbed, without any additions, or mater ial reductions, it would in five years, be a redeemable currency, adapted to the busi ness wants of the country, so rapidly does the increasing demands for capital absolve any surplus with us. We have before as serted, and now repeat, that the present high rates of commodities, is not all at tributable to the redundancy of the curren cy. Scarcity of labor lias had its full share in producing this result, and so soon as la bor falls, commodities must fall. We have no capital only as laboi creates it, and it regulates it as well. If a farmer raises one hundred bushels of wheat, and wheat is worth one dollar per bushel, that farmer has created one hundred dollars in capital. A carpenter who builds a house with one thousand dollars,creates a thousand dollars, and so on, through all the multifarious pro cessess of labor, capital is created. When therefore, the war withdrew one million of this wealth creating power of the nation, it was at once supposed that pecuniary ruin must follow. But it did not, and why ? Be cause, that number of laborers were out of employment when the war broke out, and were not creating capital. This is clearly demonstrated in the fact, that after the ar- j my had absolved a million of our laboring men, the products of the Northern States, were nearly equal to any previous year ; and it is this consideration which has made j all the calculations, of our financial i/uid nuncs, miscarry. SECRETARY SEWARD GOING TO THE WEST i INDlES.— Secretary SEWARD, with his daugh ter, Miss FANNY SEWARD, and his sou FRED ERICK and his wife, \\ ashiugton, on Friday, in a steamer for the West Indies. He goes tirst to Santa Cruz, and will be absent' three or four weeks. His object is mainly relaxation and the more complete restora tion of his health. Mr. HIXTKR will be act ing Secretary during his absence. As us ual, rumor has this afternoon attributed all sorts of objects to the trip, even to the landing of the honorable Secretary upon Mexican soil in search of JIAREZ and his government, but it positively has no other object than the one stated CONGRESk. Nothing has happened since the surren- 1 der of Lee which lias given such genuine j satisfaction to the truly loyal people of the country, as the unanimity with which Con gress rejected the representatives from the late rebellious States, in its organization, j Reflecting men anticipated trouble in the ' organization of the new Congress. The I encouragement which the President had given the insurgents, and the eagerness with which they pressed their claims to seats, coutd not but beget apprehensions about a satisfactory adjustment of this difficulty. But the harmonious sentiments of the Northern members in looking only to the law, and their duty, in the premises, resulted in the satisfactory triumph already | adverted to. And if our people in the Northern States could have witnessed the precipitate eagerness of the Southern Con gressmen elect, to get seats before the or ganization of the House,to see them elbow ing loyal members about, the swaggering insolence exercised in their demands, and then know the power, and influence that was brought to bear in their favor, they would find additional cause for rejoicing over the united action of the loyal Congress men. It is very probable that our people would not have been satisfied with any oth- 1 er decision than that made, and had there ! been any hesitancy, or division, trouble j would have ensued, and a less satisfactory result attained. It was firmness in the de termination to consider the rebel States as no part of the Government, that saved all ; and the Clerk's conduct, was throughout, worthy of all praise, and such as was ex pected of him, truly loyal man as he is. The presumptuous bearing, the insolent haste, and the shameless arrogance which characterises the conduct of the represent atives who came from the Southern Confed , eracy to claim seats in the present Con gress, has the smack and smell of the old slave-holders,and the peculiar training that institution gave its votaries. They seem • . . . to have learned nothing from the ruin which their bad conduct involved all. No shame j at having only a few years ago abandoned the seats they now claim, with disgust and j traitorous purposes, reviling the Govern- I ment that made them all they were, and I breaking sacred oaths made to protect it. No moderation from the stupendous folly i which their mad acts have raised to their i memory, and which must stare them in the face at every turn they make. No reason i do they seem to learn from buried hopes, lost kindred,devastated fields,ruined homes, and ruined States. Nor do they come with the olive branch of peace, but with "my j rights and they act as if they thought it , high presumption in the House of loyal I members, that did not take them back to 1 their embrace at the first opportunity.— Many of the hands of these members of Congress, as they claim, from the late Con federacy, are still reeking wiili the blood of | murdered Union men, who stood up in de i fense of the nationality ; but this, and their i other crimes they do not disguise ; and , O 7 they even make a parade of the word j "Traitor" which hangs all over them. These men want to be instantly installed as mem bers of the United States Congress ; and | did Congress ever do a wiser thing, than to 1 make them stand back, for a time at least ? That which adds to the enormity of this ! outrage upon Northern sentiment and feel ing, is the fact, that not one in ten of these | would-be Congressmen, can take the oath prescribed by law for admission to a seat iin the national assembly. They cannot I swear " that they have not levied war i against the United States," or " adhered to their enemies,giving them aid and comfort," yet they insist upon coming in. Well,they did not come in, and it is to be hoped that | their attendance in the lobbies, will have a tendency to chasten their arrogance, and j learn them to praise the blessings this gov , eminent bestows upon its citizens. A very destructive fire oecured at Groten.Coun., early Friday morning. It first broke out in the railroad depot at the dock, and the flames rapidly spread to the steam er Commonwealth, which, on account of the low tide, could not be got off in time to save her. She was burned t<> the water's edge with the heavy load of freight she had on board. In and adjoining the depot where thirty-four freight cars, which were destroyed. The steamer was valued at about six hundred thousand dollars, and the total loss is th jevjii to he about a million and a half. On Christmas day an affray oc curred between some negro soldiers and white citizens at Clarksville, Tenn. The dispatch says "drunken soldiers," but it is questionable whether this apology should be denied the white assailants, who were led by NJCK CORAM, a notorious guerrilla. The row is said t !,av. originated in some way with an att• -opted arrest of a colored soldier by a p .ci-nian. No one was killed, but two or three were seriously wounded. Major BOND, agent of the freeduieii, was quickly on hand at the scene of action, and soon restored quiet. An abominable outrage was com mitted ou Christmas Day, at the Twelve mile Switch on the Louisville, New albany and Chicago Railroad. As the train passed the station, three men were seen near the track, who, without the slightest provoca tion, fired into the ladies' car with revol vers. Fortunately no one was hurt, but this was not owing to the scoundrels who did the shooting. One of them was soon arrested, and the others were being closely pursued. The reports from the South continue to furnish evidence of the peaceable be havior of the colored people on Christmas Day. At Savannah no accident occurred, nor did a single unpleasant thing occur to mar the beauty and holiness of the day. The churches were open in the morning, and were exceedingly well attended.— In the evening there were tine displays of fireworks. The St. Louis papers report that the bushwhackers of Cass County are re newing their old diabolical and murderous practices. On the 2tltb inst., as the train from Kansas City to St. Louis was leaving Lee's Summit station, twenty-five or thirty shots were fired into two of the cars, con taining about sixty passengers. A bullet passed through a gentleman's coat sleeve, and a number of the windows wen; per forated, but fortunately nobody was hurt. Gen. HU NT and several members of his staff wen? on the train. The shots were fired from revolvers and were fired in the dark, the marksmen standing close to the track. The conductor put spurs to his iron horse and did not wait for a repeti tion of 11ce unwelcome salute GEN. GRANT'S REPORT Gen. Grant has demonstrated his fitness to deal with military questions. In the range of his profession there is no man to whose judgment the people of the 1 nited States defer more implicitly. Ilis capacity for solving political problems remains to be established. Recently, at the request of the President, he made a hasty trip, occupying a few days, through the Southern country. He visited four cities, to wit : Richmond, Raleigh, Charleston and Savannah. Of course, he encountered individuals of more or less in telligence on the road between these points. While he was on his progress the tele graphic and other accounts all concurred in representing that the receptions accord- j ed to hitn were cold and repulsive. Indeed , that they avoided intercourse with him. tin his return to Washington he made a report of his observation to the President, and the President laid it before the two j Houses of Congress, accompanied by a spe cial message. The design of the trip is ; now apppareut. It was to array the great intluence of General GKANT on the side of the Kestorationists, and against the major ity in the two Houses ; to make the collos sal reputation of one man overballance the deliberate judgement of the representatives of the States and the people. As a piece of bold political strategy the scheme may be commended; but it does not preclude I the privilage or duty of subjecting Gener al GRANT'S opinions or conclusions to the ; same searching analysis and review which i would be given to the ideas and decisions jof any other eminent citizen. What does ; Gen. GRANT say ? 1. That he found the leading men whom j he met disposed to accept the situation in ■ which they find themselves. That may be. I But the President himself has not found it | so, if we may judge from the earnest and ; tart dispatches he has been compelled to I send every day or two, to some one or oth jer of his Provisional Governors. He has not found it easy, by a long shot, to bring the various State Conventions up to his j own mark as to what is absolutely needful. Now we hold that on these political ques tions the judgement of the President is I worth full as much as the judgement of the Lieutenant General. The ink on the Presi dent's dispatches rebuking the leading [official people of the South for not accept ing the situation is hardly dry. We take : it he has not been making a fool of hitn i self on tliis point. 2. That an early restoration of the South j ern States to their normal conditions as | members of the Union, is every way desi rable. In our comments on the President's I message we said that to hold wide stretch : es of territory and large masses of popula tion, for long periods, under military rule, did not compact with the fundamental idea of representative government. We have i not abandoned that view of the case, and are not likely to abandon it. If General GRANT means that, and no more, we are at agreement with him. If he means some | thing different —that it is wise and pru- I dent to allow the reorganization of the Southern States with the political power | remaining in the hands of the very men who conspired for thirty years to bring i about the rebellion, and then, exhausted all their physical and intelectual resources in prosecuting it then, we do not accept his ! conclusions. So far as the Southern elec , tions have been held not one of even quasi 1 loyalty has been elected to office to twenty ; open and avowed traitors. Does that look like accepting the situation ? If the South : ern people were really prepared to come back with hearty good will, or any thing like it, it seems to us they would select j men whose antecedents would be calculated to render them acceptable, in some degree, to the Administration and its supporters.— I If it is assummed that the Administration is satisfied with the sort of men elected to the Senate and House of Representatives i from the seceding States, we have to say that no evidence of that fact is before us ; and if we had such evidence we should on ly regret the position the Administration had assumed. The Reorganization of the Southern States is a duty that does not devolve by law 011 the Lieutenant General. He has of right no more to do with in than we have, or any other citizen. His function is pure ly military. It devolves preeminently on Congress to decide when and how the re volted States shall be restored. Of course, in this matter, as in all other, the action of the Houses, unless two-thirds concur, must be approved by the Executive. It will be time to infer that these two co-ordinate branches of the government are animated by irreconcilable ideas when that condition ol affairs shall really appear. Till then we are inclined to believe, what ve ear nestly hope, that notwithstanding the fer ment inseparable front debate, a basis of adjustment will be found satisfactory to both departments — Pittrhurg Gazette. CHOLERA IN THE WEST INDIES. —We have most unwelcome news front Boston, to the effect that letters had been received there, stating that tlie cholera appeared about the middle of November in tlie Island of Guad alupe, West Indies, and had committed great ravages ; that in one town (Basse Terre) of only fi,ooo inhabitants there were 107 fatal cases 011 the 22d ult. If this re port is correct, it behooves us to keep a watch upon our coasting and West Indian trade. Guadalupe is one of the \\ indward islands, hut a short distance from St. Croix, St. Thomas and I'orto Rico, and if the infection reaches the latter is land, its leap to our Southern border is al most certain. And in what condition are our seaboard cities—especially N'ew-Y'ork —for the visit of this terrible destroyer? ienerals Scott and Longstreet reach ed New Orleans on the same day, and both stopped at the St. Charles Hotel. The New i Orleans True Delta of Dec. 15 says : "The recent and severe change in the weather has, we believe, affected Lieutenant Gener al Scott greally—so much, in fact, that he 1 is determined to leave at once. He stated last evening that he should this morning leave New Grleans for Key West, and there remain until mild weather again sets in, when lie would return to this city. We wish him a hon mi/age. RKCOONITION OF ALABAMA. — lite Presuleut, through the Secretary ol Slate, lias oiliciat ly recognized Alabama as a State ol the i C nioii, and directed ihe Provisional Gov- ' eruor to turn over his duties to Hie Gov ernor elected by the people.
