SCARCITY OP CHANGE.
There will boa meeting this forenoon,
atten o'clock, at the Merchants' fix
change, to consider the present scarcity of
silver change. What the action of this as
semblage is likely to he we have no intima
tion: but, we trust that no one will sug
gest the issuing of shinplasters by individ
uals, as a remedy for the evil complained
of. There are many who would -ladlv
avail themselves of the present pressure!
to issue little promises to pay, and il such
an issue were once commenced, there is
no telling where or when it would stop.—
Shinplasters, ot small denomination, would
simply have the effect of driving all silver
change from circulation. The present
scarcity may, in the sudden turn, moneta
ry affairs sometimes take, soon be reme
died, but if we resort to shinplasters our
troubles will only be aggravated. lJ u t
the meeting this morning will, doubtless,
take the proper actioninthe matter, by-dis
countenancing the proposed irresponsible
issues by associations or individuals r„
this connection we direct the attention of
the merchants' meeting to the following
observations from the New York Times ■
The annoyance arising from the present
scarcity of -change" may be obviated
without resorting to the questionable ex
pedient of debasing the standard of our
coinage. It arises *rotn no want of cur
rent money but from a lack of that which
represents the fractional parts of a dollar
To 'W™. l .' l ” l >'* New York have
prepared checks ol a convenient sum
ten cents would probably be the best, bet
these be exchanged by the City Treasurer
•or a correspondent amount ot current
iunds-etty bills or United States notes
and be issued in no other way. No in
crease in the amount of circulation would
be made; every dollar in those “ ohecks ”
r d ° llar dl 'POsited with
the Treasurer. These "checks" should
be redeemable, upon presentation, in
Tt a r n r d v 3 ‘° r WI “ C L h the >' issued.
„ T ould > of course, havethe same value
as bank notes or treasury notes, because

for their redemption
TreaBurer >re * land m P ossess >on of the
The consequence would he that even-
t hoS ® ,'. msines3 required him to
male change, • would buy a quantity of
these They would 'remain in
circulation just so long as the scarcity of
specie continues, and when il.at is o«-r
would lie presented for redemption, ihe
use of the money, in the meantime, and
the unavoidable loss ol more or less of the
checks in the hands of holders, would
amply repay the city lor the cost of prep-
" r ° rk of and re
vptiJllJ*S!ei'-'l’'iCks' 'V’ Illd dr,v<! out all pri
vate ‘shmplasters. The number of
whnfl a rBady ls ?, u p d —many of them by
wholly irresponsible parties-is already
large. He snw yesterday a collection
probably lar from complete, which con
tained ninety-two different kinds. The
use of these, ami the necessity of buying
specie at a premium, would be obviated
by the issue of “checks*’ such as we have
’ aud tlle * lun in every depart
meiit of business would he immense.
ii , r °bably the best form for these
sive 6 ' f S W °“i- bC that of a thi,d °f the
I, 1 / !“* ordlr| ary bank note. 'These
shonld be printed ten on a sheet, which
should be perforated like the sheets of
postage stamps. These could be prepared
at short notice. From personal im.uiry
tTonni r ßrnT r M n 'i ed /’' 1 aaj ' ing thal the. ‘-NV
tional Bank Note Company,” the “Amer-
Yo?k- J K nk A? le 9 0mpa “ v,: ' or tllft
rk ® ank Note Company,” would guar
antee to get up the plates and commence
dehvenng the “cheeks” in a week. The
issue of them would sifve thousands of
dollars a day to the public.
It the corporation' of the city cannot
undertake this work at once, some bank
mg house of established credit would find
übfoct ln",}° d ° So ' ■ We oommend the
subject to their especial consideration.
Whatever is tu be Jone in this matter
must be done quickly.

NORTHERN TREASON.
The Pittsburgh Gazette, ami its corres
pondent “True American," having turned
their attention to the discovery and defini
tion of Northern treason, seem to have
overlooked several intereajjpg.gxhibitions
of it of a radical and inc4p>l e 'character.
For the benefit of ; the editor and his soft
brained correspondent, we. take the fol
lowing l>rie|ext*ctfrom the late Fourth
of July oration of Wendell Phillips, and
hope that'they will preserve it among their
collection of trcasonahlc curiosities The
other day the New York H orW said some
thing disparaging of the War Department,
when our Pittsburgh simpleton immedi
ately squealed out treason 1 Wendell
Phillips, however, oan denounce the
government and the administration, and
row all sorts of obstacles to discourage
enlistments: and the pretentions editor or
the Gazette has not a word to say in ,cpro
bat.on of his conduct. The solution ot
this glaring and criminal inconsistency is
*l>l>are„t. Wendell Phillips is the head
ami the trout of the radical traitors to
whom the Gazette belongs : «„d when that
paper and its correspondent undertake to
palm oft their revolutionary and destruc
-ITe ~ eilets as the convictions of a large
portion of our people, they speak without
authority, ami they know it. The masses
ot the people, includingthe Republicans ot
our c-ounty, are not represented by the
natural and political equality” teachings
of the Gazette. But Wendell Phillips,
m the speech referred to. said •
-The Government wants three hundred
thousand men : we must say to him, ■ i on
cannot have a man or a dollar until you
proclaim a policy: That will open'the
eves of the President and the Cabinet to
the true sentiment ol the North. Fre
mont has been degraded by the Border
Mates, but let us hope that, like Charles
JJ; he may die on hisri.jhtful throne. ;
do not," said .Mr. Phillips, "think thnt a

thepohey of emancipation, but I think that -

Is it not somewhat remarkable
Gtizdlc. which pretends to support the
1 resident from imaginary opposition ot
more loyal papers than it is itself, should
so overlook this open and delimit atteinp
of I hillips to discourage enlistments?—
" t,ie G <wtte he so obliging as to ex

whether its silence upon the subject is to
be taken as an endorsement of l’hillii.s'
suggestions. \\ e are anxious to know tlie

so that we may be able to take the dimen-

SENSIBLE VIEWS.
The following ideas upon the all absorb
mg negro question, from the Chronicle, ol
tins city, are sound, pointed, and well
expressed. They will command the at
tention of every thinking man, notblimled
by prejudice or partisanship:
A.s for our employment of the negro «s
a lighter, it is one of the most unpromis
ing and impracticable schemes ever con
cocted m the brains of dreaming theorists
and visionaries, and unworthy of the se
rious attention of any common sense
statesman. It is absolutely disgusting
the whole country to see so much of the
golden time of the nation's councillors
squandered by interminable squabbles
t „7 angle 9 whether » few negroes
shall be enrolled astroops. Iftwentymil
i lions of freemen, with exhaustless resour
: ces ot all kind, cannot overcome •'>,(100 000
of men no braver than, if half so brave
as themselves, without the aid of a few
regiments of blacks, why, then, we had
better give up the contest at once, and
confess ourselves craven. It would nosi
lively seem as though some of our noisy
politicians were so smitten with out-idea
insanity, that they vested the whole I
salvation ol the country on the mustering I
moi ten or twenty thousand blacks If!
sucli a measure be ever passed, is it not at!
once seen that the schisms ami dissen- 1
sions it will create in the North will very
jar out-balance the good expected, even
l)y the most sanguine negrophilist?
. \e believe the people are thoroughly
sick of incessant squabbles over this one
idea. I’sc the negro, if you will. i„
every possible way in which he cun be of
use to the army ; free and employ all
slaves of rebels who come within our
lines; conhscate all the property which
belongs to red-mouthed rebels, if you
please; make war in real, sober earnest
as the rebels make it; quaiter and sup
port our armies off the territories of the
enemy; make them feel the sufferings of
lie civil war which their hate and folly
have brought upon the country; compel
I them to pay the whole expense of the war,
(and even drive them from the country
rather than permit them to sever and de
-16 ‘ IU th!s ’ we bel would
meet the approbation of the people. Kind
i ness, clemency, and generosity have been
80 far }>y our government that
it has become actual weakness and cause
of universal complaint, but don’t be guilty
of the madness of dividing the North
driving off all the Border States, and set
ting one party against the other, in order
to cany out an idea, or measure, which,
if adopted, would not only not strengthen
but actually rum our cause. What wis
dom would there be in enrolling and
armmg 00,000 blacks, though they fought
like lurks, if thus, at the same time, you
keep four times that number of whites
out of the field, and drive off the loyal
population of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Missouri?

A Shrewd Speculation in Carbines
- The Holt and Owen investigation has
deveoped some exjHfordinary frauds
which marked thg-jSeriod termed bv the
commission Saturnalia of Specula
tors/ 1 One of the most rascally was that
consummated by one Simon Stevens, in
selling 0,000 Hall’s carbines to Major Gen.
Fremont. Stevens sold the carbines to
the General commanding the Department
of the West, by telegraph, on the stb of
August, 1851, at $l2 each: At that time
these carbines were in the United States
Arsenal at ivcw 1 ork, and were the prop
erty of the Government, rejected from the
service and ordered to be sold! On the
.th of August, two days after Stevens sold
them to Fremont, they were bought from
the Government at $3 5U each; and
though the condition on which Gen. Fre
mont bought them was that-they should be
forwarded instantly “by Express,” the
last lot was not shipped till the lapse of
forty days. The character ot the purchase
in this case is thus summed up bv the re
port : J
‘1 bus the proposal actually was, to sell
to the Government, at. $22 each, 5,000 of
its own arms: the intention being, if the
oiler was accepted, to obtain these arms
by purchase from the Governmental three
dollars and fifty cents each. ' That inten
tion was carried out (lacking four cara
bines only) the day after Gen. Fremont
accepted the offer. It is evident, also,
that the very funds with which this pur
chase was effected were borrowed or, the
aith ol the previous agreement to sell; so
that if the purchase made by Gen. Fre
mont is to be regarded as a valid purchase
by the baited States, the Government
sold one day, for $17,480, arms which it
for be,o , re t 0 repurchase
tor slo9,Jl2—makmga loss to the United
Mates on the transaction of ninety-two
thousand four hundred and twenty-si*
dollars (S‘J2,42fi)-but virtually furnished
the money to pay itself the 517.480 which
it received.

Encounter Between Federal
Gunboat* and a Rebel Bat
tery.
W.VSHISOTOX, duly h. —Acting Master
hrederick Crocker, commanding the (.*. S.
steamer Kensington, communicates to the
Navy Department the following particu
lars of an encounter with a rebel batten
in the vicinity of Ellis’ Cliffs and Koduev;
Mississippi river:
••During the night i.lune 25th i rockets
musket shots and other sounds gave indi
cation ol the enemy, and the crews of all
the vessels were bent to quarters, but no
attack being made, we lay quiet till day
light, when we hove up anchor and pro
ceeded up the river, keeping a sharp look
out on all sides aud ready fur instant ac
lion.
’J here was no appearance of the enemy,
however, until wc arrived opposite the
mull, a short turnabout eighteen miles be
low the line of Itodney's (Cole's creek i
when we were attacked by a baitcrv. ap
parently of two or four six pounders’ con -
eealed in the thicket under the blntf. Their
lu st shot, from a distance of not more than
two hundred yards, took efleet in the Sa
rah Drum, injuring two of her crew severe
ly. Three other shots tired at. almost the
same distance fell short, when a round of
grape from the Sarah Bruin, and a shell
Irom the Kensington, both ot which drop
pod with great accuracy into the midst of
the smoke of their guns, silenced them com
pletely.
„ Both the Sarah Bruin an.l Kensington,
together with the rillcmenfrom alitheves
sel, firing until the curve
around the turu brought them out of rage,
and enabled the Horace Beals to open lire
with her battery, which she did with great
animat,on, and thethieket was shelled un
til ail the vessels were out of range.
