Money is certainly itCtyplenty among certain people, but it is rio more:Ounciant than it is in the th. True, our greenbacks are of more value tons than the Confederacy's issues are to them ; buti - how long will it reulain a 4? Uwe go on in civil war ; which is coming us over two millons day.? Extravagant issues of paper money are no evidences of a nation's prosperi ty ; and; if eirtravagant prices for the necessaries and.,comforra of life be de manded in , order to secure them, then the ElMither,n Confederacy is unques timmblythe most prosperous region on the —globe. , But this, is a fallacy. A second handed •umbrella commanding seventy-five dollars in Richmond, mere ly proves that the Confederate money is almost wokthless, and prices, with us, baying advanced from one to three .hundred per cent., should admonish us IL that our condition is anything but pros perOUS. Iltrivv'efraferchant's Magazine for last month has a capital article upon this subject, which is, however, too long to - copy entirely. It demonstrates that the ' prosperity of the North is by no means real, and we are quite silly in flattering ourselves that it is. It further demon strates that the ingression that the peo ple are prospering tends to prolong the war—that apparent prosperity general ly precedes disaster—that real prosperi . t) , ' consists in the productive employ ment of labor—that fighting is not pro- ductive envloymeht, but the contrary— that government comsumption, unless uncmilLternational improvements, is de- ' stnictlieTif capital ntra tizto4 o govern ment loan is not a call for money, but for commodities to, destroy. The same article demonstrates that our national debt is an almost complete annihilation of capital, nearly its whole amount having been withdrawn from productive employment ; and that it Minds to-day a mortgage upon the prop erty of the-people, the interest on which must be met by taxes paid by the people. It is also shown that if the hundreds of millions of capital destroyed and debt created by this war had been spent in . improving rivers and harbors, the con - struction of railroads, the widening of . canals, tho advancement of learning and the encouragement of science—all of which would have been a productive ex penditure of capital ; then, indeed, would we have been able to rejoice in our pros perity as a people, and in the brilliant position we should have attained among the nations of the earth. WHO CAUSED THE WAR t The Pittsburgh Gazette, yesterday, in reply to our statement that the leading" Abolitionists and leading fire-eaters were alike guilty of producing our pres ent troubles, quotes an extract from a speech Of ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, in which he implorer his State not to withdraw from the Union. This may appear to the Gazette a triumphant an • ,swer to oar statement, but, w ill all due respect to our neighbor's profundity, we cannot see it. We never justified the South in resorting to rebellion. Wt. never took issue with Mr. STErnxics in his efforts to keep his State in the Union, and the Gazette quoting his speech to `Weaken our argument, is about as revi . • lent as if it had quoted a passage from ,eeriptnre. AS regards the Peace Convention 'Nrhith assembled in Washington in 1861, it is notorious thatthe leading Abolition ists transferred to it their tactics front the U. 8. Senate, in order to" defeat any measure likely to avert rebellion. The bloody and brutal Senator CHANDLER, of Michigan, exposed the Abolition pro ;gr'alrime,' whin be declaied that "blood letting would do us good." He and we now have had blood to our hearts con tent,. .Itot desiring to`miatify the reader, by garbling extracts from the proceed ings of either the Peace Convention or of 1244 - Tress, we desire to sum up the con duct of the Abolition members -of the Senate, in the briefest manner. • t Benahor Donatass, after evhausting his great powers, in laboring to effect somo compromise, at last, on the 3d of March, 1881, remarked.

GRANT, who is scornfully spoken of as "the man on horseback," and for whom and the Generals he has called around him it can find no more compli- mentary synonym than mediocrity. It says "it was misfortune enough, that men who do . not represent the ardor or resolution of the people, should be at the helm of the eivil government ; but it is deplorable indeed, nay utterly alarm ing, that the great issues of the impend ing conflict should be confided to Gen erals of feeble natures and inferior abili ty." And again : "In counterpart to a conservative Executive, supported by Messrs. SEWARD, BLAIR and BATES, we find first out voiceless chieftain and a run of generals, who do not represent four per cent. of military quality." Af ter "accepting GRANT without question," it supposes that "doubtful of his own superiority, he determined to surround himself only with military inferiorities, by whom he is sure not to be outdazzled," it then asks :" What shall we say of a string of viceroys and marshals such as SHER MAN, MEADF.,BAI DT S'AfITII,SEDGEWICK, FRANKLIN, Syk.E.s, NEWTON, SOD , FIELD, FRENCIT, id genus clnnex, and re verting back again, what can we hope for from the feeble, if not the perverse Administration which sustains them'" The honesty of the President is attack ed for recomt.iending "BALDY SMITH' to the Senate for the two stars, and his cheek, it says, ought to have blush«l crimson when be thought of THONLIP, the victor of Chickamauga. After getting throng h with the tiradq against the distinguished functionaries of the Government and the army, this eminent Republican authority then dis courses upon the state of the country and the probal le results of the new pol icy. Such language as is used w: s once treason, but perhaps it is not so now—particularly as it comes from a big light of Republicanism. The RA 'awing are the cou,cluding pat agraphs of the article: "It is the observation of these things, the re flection en their gross injustice, and the fear, that j if the mediocrity which perpetrates such out rages should fail again this spring to adminlater4 a decisive blow to the rebellion, the resolution orj the country may die out—that makes us almost tremble to look forward. Never before have we felt a depression equal to that which assails us at this moment. Three years have now elapsed since the commencement of the war. A debt of sixteen hundred millions stares us in the face ; and nearly a half million of our soldiers have been utterly used up. The elastic hope which buoy eu the earlier stages of the st ruggle has largely faded out, while, so tar as the tioniesierates are con cerned, they are better off to-day, to sustain three years more of contest, than at any previous pe riod or the war. The manufactories they at tirst required are now construct ell; agriculture mid the science of subsistence hate takes settled Joiape ; and the sufferings and sacrinces which are necessary to season a people to exploit hsve wen endured. NI oreol er, they feel that the I,e -nod of probation which foreign powers limit t.r struggling populations to earn the stamp of na tionality, is vet y nearly up. is it not, painful, nay, alarming, that, at such a crisis, mediocrity and dourtful purpose should wield the entire sway t Yet such is the case we dwell upon It, we are almost Jr“ Cu to ta.- lieve that Clod, not only Is not with us but against us. lie has confounded our judgments, divided our councils, and delivered us into the hands of the feeble, the faint-hearted and the blind. Anti why should he be with us, base, groveling and corrupted as we are 1 We are not with hint ' We area godless, conscienceless, religionleas peo ple. There is no honor, no virtue, no devotion, except among the masses, while ninety per cent. of all who range above thousand dollar incomes are mere lynx-eyed sharpen, who are watching every neighbor with suspicion, and who subor dinate every sentiment to sell. Debauched by an extravagant prosperity, and spared mercifully from all sacrilicer,we have ungratefully forgotten a due reliance upon Heaven ; and the result Is, that, except in the case of the simple, virtuous laboring people, we have practically become community of itheists. There is no conscience attached to the Intelligence and wealth of the community ; and laymen as we are, and of the world, we may say unto you, fellow-country men, that there can be no lasting Government without public virtue ; no enduring nationality without a universal sense of God. Handled as our county has been In the field, and stupefied as it is by the tricksters of the Cabinet, it would seem that we are only to arrive at the stage when we may be permitted to rebuild, by suffer ing and sacrifices, and perhaps through a prelim inary chaos which it is dreadful to anticipate. This mournful destiny would seem to be fore shadowed in the fact, that, impatient of our folly, He has allowed us to put our nation in the hands of men who have attempted to guide it through this fiery hour without the inspiration of a sin gle moral principle, and whose cold, grovelling natures never rise about the attitude of circula tion. Thus managed, If lie permit us to escape without preliminary ruln,lt will only be through a miracle of grace, and for the sake alone of those more virtuous populations which are looking to ward us for their enfranchisement across the seas. . . Let us, therefore, watch eagerly the spring campaign, and if perchance, we do not aequire a sound success, let uc secure it to the nation by naming firm hands to reap the harvest , but, if, as we dread the old conservative troublers of the army corps to betray us again to the enemy, let us be ready to rally in the chaos and prev eta at least \Vest Point Pretorian division of the em pire. When a nation is without faith, and has turn ed its face from God, "the man on horseback" is always a fearful figure." THE EMANCIPATI(►S PROF LAMA- The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gdzette, in speaking of the final draft of the Emancipation Proclamation, says that Mr. CHASE Ob jected to the dry phrases of the docu ment and to the concluding paragraph, which stated that the liberated slaves would be received into the armed ser vice of the United States. He therefore suggested the following sentence: "And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, 1 invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God." Mr. LINCOLN adopted the sentence, only adding, after the word -Constitu tion," the words "upon military necessi ity." He originally intended to issue the proclamation in the summer of It';62, be cause, as he expressed it, everything was going wrong; we seemed to have prl e, t forth our utmost effort., and he really did not know - what more to do unless he did this. Upon calling the Cabinet tc gither Mr. BLAIR was startled, and ex claimed: "If you issue that proclama tion, Mr. President, you will lose every one of the fall elections." Mr. SEWARD said: "I approve of it, Mr. President,ust as It stands. I approve it in priv I iple, and approve the policy of issuing it; I only' object to the time. Send it out now, on the heels of our late disasters, and it will be construed as the convul sive struggle of a drowning man. To give it proper weight you should reserve it till after some victory." Mr. LINCOLN assented to Mr. SEw- ARD'S view, and it was withheld till the fall, when it was issued almost precisely as originally prepared. Quid Vteroitte, it appears, has lit erary tastes.

There is an enlightened region somewhat nearer the sun's rising than even this, where the human_reform business is carried on with a briskness fully equalling the manufacture of notions, but Which, strange to say, is lacking in some of the essentials to a millennial condition.

Among the instances of cruelty they cite is the following: Under the inclined roof of an oat-building con nected with a poor-house, a situation where the inmates must have suffered intensely from cold in winter and heat in summer, the commission ers found a man and woman confined in what were in fact cages, on the opposite side of a nar row passage-way that led to a small window in the gable-end of the building. There was no ventilation, and the walls and ceiling were foul with excrement. The commissioners were in formed that these poor creatures have been kept therefor years, with only the variety ut being transferred from one cage to another, when it was tiecessar), in the language of their keeper, to clean them out. i .rust think of this condition Of things in a 1 state which has the hub of the unit erse tar Its 1 chief city A Sketch of Persia Mr. Ea nick's book on Persia is re viewed in,.the London Atha/team.

Empress. The scabbard of his sword was studded so thickly with diamonds from hilt to point, that a ray of light could not have entered between them, and was worth, they said, a quarter of a million sterling. In face of that blaze of jewels, our policemen's coats and gold la( e looked utterly mean. The Russian Minister, nho nas our d,oyan, now said a few w irils in French by way of conirratulation to the Shah, and the Russian head dragoman, whose name appropriately signifies "sturgeon," interpreted them. In return, the Shah asked each of the foreign enNoys, i shuma k? tb att, 'arc you well' and then inquired of the Russian Nlinlater why he did not learn Persian.

But this monstrous jewel is rather big than brilliant, like the Koh i lour be fore it was cut. Generale McClellan and Fro mont.—The idea prevails to sonic ex tent, says the Herald, that there, blunder General Grant, a prospect of an ear ly restoration of General McClellan and General Fremont to active servo e the field. We fear, on the contrary, whatever may be the views of General Grant in regard to McClellan or Fremont that President Lincoln and his board of political advisers at Washington have made up their minds to keep these two officers in the background. We fear that Honest (lid Abe lacks both the magnanimity anti the raga( ity to give either Fremont or McCelltin a chance to gain any new laurels. Eactt has position among the people which is dis trusted and feared :it Washington, and neither, therefore, has ally thing to hope for from Old Abe. But two Great Parties.—The Lou isville Jour, al very truly remarks: There are but two great parties in the country, namely, the Conservative party, and the Radical party. The basis of the Radical party is universal and im mediate emancipation by the general government, and the prosecution of the war until the accomplishment of this end is secured. The basis of the con servative party is the Constitution, an ,1 the prosecution of the war until the su premacy of the constitution is acknowl edged. The latter is a Constitutional party. The former is a revolutionary party. The Conservative party would maintain the government as our fathers made it. The Radical party would sub vert the Government and construct a new one according to the radical vaga ries. .Such arc the respective basis of the two great parties of the country. Fleecing the Black Recruits.— The Washington correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertixer writes: — Some of the colored men who were induced to go from Washington to Rhode Island to enlist in a regiment be ing formed there, under promis of large bounties, writepack that they have been scaudlausly treated. It is even inti mated that the State officials have conniv ed at the frauds and extortions by which these sable recndts have been fleeced out of the greater portion of their boun ties. The officers of the regiments en_ dorseihe statement of the men that they have been pillaged, but cannot or will not see that redress is obtained.

THE Secretary of the Treasury. it is stated, has determined to send the (Adel Clerk of the Internal Revenue Bureau on a visit to European countries to make observations and gather facts in relation 1 to the raising of revenue through taxa tion. We had always thought that the systems there in vogue were some of the main features of European tyranny anti rottenness, and the cause of so large an immigration to less tax-ridden lands. A LATE debate in the British Parlia ment elicited the fact that, since IS3 - :, the population of Ireland has increased three millions, to which, if the natural increase be added, the whole forms a . total of six or seven millions. It will not take many years, at this rate, to ac complish all that the Fenian society is laboring for; Irishmen will be free, but Ireland will be depopulated.
