SlOll in consequence of this disastrous ccndi
lion of affairs, At tAte end of the year the
issue had rea c hed two hundred millions and
the value of three, cents.
Thus stood, or rather this fell, the finances
of the Revolution. There was a deep be
yond this lowest deep whither they plunged
before the paper declaration of 1776 became
a living reality. How do our three years of
conflict compare with these ? Our loans are
negotiated readily, our interest paid in gold
steadily. Our currency has reached six hun
dred millions, tir, with the local issues, eight
hundred millions: not thrice the amount of
theirs, Two dollars and a half, not thirty
dollars, can buy a Spanish dollar. Our real
estate and other property, which was esti
mated at more than sixteen thousand mil
lions in 1860, hills not decreased in value. In
this most tremulous of all the nerves of so
ciety there is unspeakably leSsagitation than
in the days when Jay brooded, like Chase
and Fessendcn, over this, question of finance,
and Congress were anxious brows in their
painful, and ineffectual deliberations.
The results 'of 'this state of ;the finances
were not unlike' what prevail to-day. The
extravagance and seeming abtindance of
these times obtained then. "If I were called
upon to draw a picture of the timedand the
men," sayii Washington in a letter to 061.
Harrison, the father of the future President,
ilatetl Dee 30, 1778i — ! , from - ivhat -- 1 have
heard and seen, and in part know, I should
,in ono word say that idleness,' dissipation,
'and extravagance seem o to haveltdd fast hold
of most of them ; that speculation, pecula
tion, and an insatiable thirst Rif - riches seem
to limb got the better of every other consid 7
,oration, and 'almost of every order : Of men;
that party disputes and personal quarrels aro
the' great business of the day, ;while the
Mentotis cOlicerna :of an empire, a great nnti
accaimulating debt, 'ruined ilindreS'
elated money, and want of credit; which' in'

JJ (.1J I• 1
its consequences is want of everything, are
hut secondary considerations." At Philadel
phia he saw and lamented the folly and ex
travagance of the people, "spending three
and four hundred pounds for an assembly, a
concert, a dinner, a supper, while the great
part of the officers of the army, from abso
lute necessity were quitting the service, and
the more virtuous few, rather than do this,
were sinking by (411 re degrees to beggary and
want." "Meantime," says Irving„ "it was
hard to recruit the armies. There was a
bundance of employment, wages were high,
the value of money low, consequently there
was but little temptation to enlist." How
aptly do these times mirror forth the same
image. Washington, too, found contractors
his belie. He calls them "the murderers of
our cause;" and exclaims, "I would to God
some one of the Inure atrocious in each state
was hung in gibbets upon a gallows five times
as high as the one prepared for Haitian. No

Forts Warren and Lafayette slight repayal

"In plzwe of the old mercantili'i interest, al

since the war, mid :is the resources o f con

* In this matter of finance we are ndlow
ing precisely the experience of England in
her attesupts to ruin Napoleon. " For eigh
teen years she suspended specie payments in
her desperate struggle with France. Bank
of England notes were made, in effe'et,
.a
legal tender„ by every person being protect
ed from arrest who offered them in payment
of a debt, and by the bank being guarded by
law from any suit for non-payments of its
notes. For eighteen years there was thus in
Great Britain an inconvertible paper cur
rency. From 1797 to 1815 the Bank of Eng
land tripled its circulation, and the country
banks increased front two ,hundred in the
same tune to nine hundred and forty, or al
most/ire times. Tho depreciation was, of
course, enormous, not shown so much in the
price of gold, which only reached forty-one
in 1812-13, but especially in values—Xl in
paper became worth but Ws, in 1813, and
according to Doubleday fell to 7s. or 88., that
is, a depreciation of nearly seventy-five per
cent. The price of wheat rose from 535. ld.
a quarter in 1797 to 1255. sd. in 1812; oats
from 16s. Pd. to 445. •, wood from 3s. Bd. to
10s. The rent of arable land increased from
£BB Gs. 31-d. to the hundred acres in 1790, to
£l6l 12s. 71d. - in - 1812. But unlike Ameri
ca, no increase of prices arose in England
from diminished labor ; on the contrary labor
was supplied in abundance, and wages did
not rise with other values; the final rise be
ing only about twenty per centum in many
pariShes. In ~this depreciated currency,
worth forty or fifty per cent. below what the
foreign fund-holders had supposed themselves
pledged to receive, did England pay her
former or - editors. Individuals; orretirse, -
complained', but it was manifest she - could do
nothing 'else, and.this, 'repudiation' has nevi. ,
or, wo believe, been thrown in her teeth.-/.
Tho enormous irolumo of paper mormy

before our cities foreign armaments may

great question is before us. Shall we prove
our right to the blessings Goa has conferred

sons of heroic sires?
To that state our foe is reduced. What
is their money worth ? Yet do they light less
strenuously ? And for what? an Qmpire of

O,PPF.It 11 EA DS SCATII ED—A DO l"r
MANIF EsTo —II IB POLIICAL OPPOSITION.
On Saturday evening last SENATOR WADE
of Ohio made an eloquent speech at Mead
ville, Pa. It is reported as follows in the
Cleveland Leadrr:
FELLOW Cirtaxs—The occasion which
calls us together here to-day is one of an im
portance and significance almost unequalled
among objects of human interest. The ques
tions which we shall discuss to-day possess
an interest far higher than those of usual
party politics, if, in former times, we made
a mistake in the selection of men or meas
ures, the error could be rectified after four
years. But an error now, in this crisis of
our national history, is fatal and irreparable.
Its consequences aro eternal. If we fall, we
fall forever.
I desire to examine one chief doctrine im
plied in the Chicago platform, and asserted
by that nest of infernal traitors wbo met
there—for I call things by their right
names, and they are a sot of Moan and cow
ardly traitors. If they took their principles
into the fight and battled .for them, I could
respect them, but I have naught but loathing
for such sneaking cowards. [Cheers.] Not
a man of them—not even as they love trea
son—Will 'dare to jeopardize his personal
safety j;i" behalf of it, , They : pretend to tell
tiro people for what purposertho war,was first
prOccuted: McCLELLAN says that this war
Ailicennunenced to - save the-llnimi: -Sir; you
know, or' if:you do'net you are frfool, that
this war was commenced by rebels, and com
menced to destroy the Unfelt I [Applause.).
The rebels began this war long 'before wo
raised a fingerand ought to:have done
it-long before wq' Wo lot them go on
in 'treason a long time before we tried to coax

vilto telegraphed from his seat in the Sedate
kith° rebels in Charleston to fire on Fort
Sumter. And they did it. And they cap
tured our forts, and arsenal,, our mints and
ottr men, and tired on our flag. And still the
Democrats—these miserable sneaks of Peace
men—said: "You can't tight, you can't co
erce a State, you must just lie down and take
it," ["That's so," laughter and applause.]
That was the deelMirition of that miserable
imliceile James Buchanan. Glorious old
Pennsylviinia, you whose soldiers have gone
forth so promPtly and well, and have done
you such glory, .1 call on you to reverse that
dotiarntion! [AppianSe and Hies of '•We'll
do it."] Yes, do it with a strong arm! I
was in the Senate when these things were
being done, and I speak of what I know. I
listened to the taunts of Southern Senators
until my blood boiled.
•Let me here point out the actual commence
ment of this war, for 1 want to prove to you
1114 we are right in theirs? Why, then, do
thity talk of our positihn, for 1 stand on the
ruck of eternal justice and it' I step off it in
any direction I shall fall, and I ought to
fall. [Cheers.] As the little schooner Star
of . thr West came into Charleston harbor,
freighted.. with food for, the garrison of Fort
Sumter, they fired upon her,—upon the Stars
Mal Stripes which she floated, --dt ml forced
her back. Ilad any body before this raised

ohjoet that we hurt the party. But our cause

McClellan Before Richmond
The North American and United States
Gazette lately published a most singular
statement, in reference to M'Clellan's cam
paign before Richmond, by a gentleman con
nected with the War Department. It cor
roborates many intimations already before
the public with regard to the Chickahom
iny campaign. That Gen. M'Clellan is loy
al, after his own way of thinking, we do not
doubt. That he ever meant to put down the
rebellion, and that be used the forces placed
at his command to that end, we do not and
cannot believe. No same person not an idiot
could have held idle the overwhelming force
commanded by Gen. 31L'Clellan from Octe
ber,,lB6l, to March, 1862, it' he had really
desired the crushing out of the rebellion.—
He lay in and around 'Washington, hemmed
in, shut up, virtually besieged by an army
not one-third so large as his own, which held
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on his right
and the Potomac on his left, confining him
to a simple track of railroad for all his sup
plies ; when he might have crushed the foe
in a week if he had simply tried—nay, if he
aione., had not peremptorily forbidden and
prevented any effort by his subordinates.—
Who can explain such conduct? When be
has tried, let -him wake his next essay on the
fulluwinnr
'Th the :11 - embers of tne National Union Club,
Philadelphia :
GENTLEmmq : I an in possession of your
note, in whieh yon ask nits if I remember
having made certain assertions at the rooms
of the National Union Club in January la.st,
on my return from the rebel lines, in regard
to Gen. George B. McClellan and Clement
Vallandigham, and desiring - to know if I
would reiterate said statement.
I 1 . ,‘C0 d I ect, perfectly well having made
certain statemnt, in regard to the two per
sons named, and in preseneeof several mem
bers of the Club.
In 1 l'e,llollSe to your inquiry if I would re
peat said statement, I will answer you by
saying: First, That while the battle before
Richmond Virginia, in 181)2, WIIS still pro
gressin),, and immediately after (len. Me'-
Clellan had fallen back from before that city,
in company with a friend, an officer in the
rebel service, who WAS prevented from join
ing his command in the light in question, on
account of a wound received :It the battle of
SeVell Pines, and being provided with it
special peri n it from the War Department at
Richmond, I visited the fortifications around
Richmond, and advanced to 11 11kt:11100 Of a
bout two miles north of that city, where we
met Cohwel Gayle, of the 12th Al tleima
regintint, who mt . § a part icolnr friend
of the officer in whose company I was : ulsn
Lieutenant Colonel Pickens, of the same
regiment, with whoml had the nth:outage
of a personal acquaintance. The colonel was
superintending the disinterment of it num
ber of eases of U. S. rifles, which lay buried
in the ground, and in rows, the soil heaped
over them as it' they were graves. Four of
the cases of rifles were already unburied
when I reached the =pot, and I had the (to
me unpleasant) satisf:wt ion of handling some
of tae e guns. which had already been taken
out of those cases.
I he:trd ftayl,:=lty that the inetrinent
tht-e. gun. \NS. , 1:11(rWrI ut the War Dtt
part Ri•boi ) even before 'McClellan's
retreat frttin before that city.
(hi the inquiry of my 16.11(111nd Dr. Kelly,
of the rebel army, from Col. Gayle, if he
thought it had been intended that :add guns
should fall into the hands of the Conceder
ales, the Colonel answered in the affirmative,
and concluded by saying, '•)tae's all right."
Not more than a hundred yards distant
from this spot, Lieut. Col. Pickens pointed
out to me it number of ambulances--two
hundred and ten in number—and said he
had assisted at their capture, and that, when
captured, the horses belonged to said am
bulances were hitched, some to trees and
some to the rear of the ambulances. As 1
was then in the employ of the united States,
it was my business to gather as much infor
mation in regard to military matters as pos
sible, and on my inquiry of Col. Pickens if
he thought these ambulanees had been inten
ded to be in the same ''bargain'' as the rifles,
he said : I don't see what else they should
have been intended for, for they were just
were you see them, and the horses hitched
as you see them, while the tight was going
on right here."
Presently some whiskey was handed round,
and we all drank a toast to "Little Mae."
A bout the month of A April of the sameyear,
as I was going from Richmond to Mobile, in
company with Lieut. Wiltz and Dr. Kneen
of Missouri, and Dr. Fontleroy, of Virgina,
the two latter gentlemen being of the rebel
General Price's staff, we met with Brigadier
General Watson of Alabama. Gen. 'Wat
son said in my presence that then, or at any
time after the war, he could give satisfactory
proof that George B. McClellan, of tne Fed
eral army, at the outbreak of the rebellion
and during the preliminary arrangements
for the organization, oh' the Confederate army,
had offered his services to the Confederate
Government, but that as the Confederate
Government had resolved to give rank„ in
preference to officers formerly in the United
States service, according to seniority of rank,
they could not give to AlcOlellan what he
desired, as other officers ranked him in seni
ority; and that McClellan, having become
offended at this, then offered his services to
the United States.
In December 1862, I had occasion to call
on Governor Shorter, of Alnbauca, who was
then . sojourning at the Huntsville hotel,
Huntsville, Alabama, Governor Shorter in
troduced me to General Watson, who was
present. The General recognized me imme
diately. And as the Governor resumed a
conversation with another person in the room,
I, while in conversation with. the General )
had occasion to refer to our trip to ltabila,
and I purposely brought about the conversa
tion in reference to General McClellan, and
General Watson reiterate4o9:Atatemopt ho
had previously made in regard to Mccollan.
In,rognrd •to Clement L. Vallandigham,
the' Ohio traitor, I will tiny that during his
-sojourn, at Richmond ho • vias "repeatedly
closeted with Jeff, James A. Seddon,
the • rebid Secretary. of IVarliand Jitdith
Benjamino i tho rebel, Secretary of State.
During my .vieit to, Richmond nt : that
epoch', I learned from ,reliable sources (rebel
officials) that.-this Ohio' triiitth' had pledged
his••cyord to the rebel ;authorities that if• tho
Do rnocrati party at: fho ,North succeeded' in'
TERMS:--$2,00 in Advance, or $2,50 within the year.
electing their candidate at the next Presiden
tial election, ho would use all his influence
to obtain peace on the basis of a recognition
of the Confederate as a eeparte and iadepen
dent government.
Moreover, during my stay at Richmond,
having called on Mr. Benjamin, the Secre
tary of State, with a view to obtain an in=
terview on business of a private character, I
was told by an official in attendance at the
Department of State—who of course be
lieved me to be a loyal confederate—that it
was uncertain when I could chance to see
Mr. Benjamin ; and that as the visitor of
Mr. Benjamin was Mr. Vallandigham, whom
this official styled the "Ohio refugee," the
conference might be,protracted to a late hour.
On that day, although I waited until after
the hour for transacting business nt that de
partment, I did notget to see Mr. Benjamin.
At that time divers were the rumors in
private circles among the rebels, that Val
landigham had pledged himself to the Con
federate cause. Of this the War Department
at Washington was informed in a report
made by me and other Government agents.
Great were the expectations of the rebels
during my last visit within their lines, if this
Vallandigham faction succeeded in electing
their candidate to the Presidency.
Let it he rernbered that this Vallandigham
faction are the men who seek to elect Geo.
B. McClellan to an office which none but
loyal men should fill.
Very respectfully, yours, &r.,

cooler you a e epy of my orders, which

perfectly. Yrru style the measures

history of \var for a parallel as an act of
“studied and nugeueruus cruelty." It is 1101
unprecedented, firm Gen. „Jotptsrox
very wisely and properly removed the fami
lies all the way from Dalten down, and I see
no reason why Atlanta should be excepted.
Nor is it pece-nary to appeal to the dark his
tory of war when recent and modern exam
ples are so handy. You, yourself, burned
dwelling-houses along your parapet, and I
move seen to-day fifty houses that you have
rendered uninhabitable because they stood in

I have net accused yinll of heartless cruelty,
but merely instate , - these cases of very re
cent oecurrence, a7d could go on and enu
merate hundreds of others, and challenge
any W.r man to judge which of us has the
heart of pity for the, families of a "brave peo
ple." I say it is a kindness to these families
of Atlanta to remove them now at once from
scenes that woman and children should not
he exposed to, and the brave people should
scorn to commit their wives and children to
the rude barbarians who thus, as you say,
violate the laws of war, as illustrated in the
pages of its dark history. In the name of
common sense, I ask you not to appeal to a
just God in such 11 sacrilegious manner. You,
who, in the midst of peace and prosperity,
have plunged a nation into civil war, dark
and cruel war," who dared and badgered us
to battle, insulted our flag, seized our arse
nals and forts that were left in the honora
ble custody of a peaceful ordnance sergeant,
seized and made prisoners of war the very
garrisons sent to protect your people against
negroes and Indians, long before any overt
act was committed by the (to yost) hateful
Lincoln Government, tried to force Kentucky
and Missouri into the rebellion in spite of
themselves, falsified the vote of Louisiana ;
turned loose your privateers to plunder un
armed ships, expelled Union families by the
thousand, burned their houses, and declared
by ant of your Congress the confiscation of
all debts due Northern men for goods had
and received. Talk thus to the marines but
not to me, who have seen these things, and
who will this day make as much sacrifice for
the peace and honor of the South, as the best
born Southerner among you. If we must be
enemies, let us be men, and tight it out as
we propose to-day, and not deal in such
hypocritical appeals to God and humanity.
God'will judge us in due time, and he will
pronounce whether it be =ore humane to
fight with a town full of women and the
families of a "brave people" at our back, or
to remove thorn in time to places of safety
among their own friends and people.

GENERAL ROOK ries LATESPEECIL AT WATER•
FELLOW-Crrizitiis: You have come hero
to rejoice at the success of the' Union arms,
in which I am ready to join yon'heart and
hand. My business is fightibg, not speech
making, but let me tell you that the army
of Sherman is invincible, and cannot be dis
heartened. Wo must treat this rebellion as
a wise parent would a vicious child—he must
whip him into subjection. No milder dis
cipline will answer the ptirpose: Some are
crying peace; but there can be no poaco as
long as li tebel tan be found With Arnie in
his hands. Woe be to those who dry - Pollee
when there is no peace. This Union must
bo presorredi and there is no way of pre
serving it but by
, the power of our arms—
by fighting the conspiracy to death. 'This
rebellion is tottering now while I speak ;;• it
is going down, down, and will soon tumble
into ruin. Politicians may talk tor you a
bout the cause of the war, but I say, put
down the rebellion, and then, if you choose,
inquire into the cause of it. But first put
down the insurgents—first whip them, and
then tall about the cause if you have noth
ing else to engage your attentiOn. I 'believe
in treating rebellion as General Jackson treat
ed Indians—whip them first and treat with ,
them afterwards. The Union cannot be dibid
ed, let politicians talk as they may; for if
division commences, where are you to end?
First the South would go, then the Pacific
States, then New England, and hear that
one notorious politician has advocdted that the
city of New York should secede from the Em ,
pirc State. In such ease there would . be no
end to rebellion: Gentlemen, every inter
est you have depends upon the success of our
cause ; every dollar you possess is at stake
in the preservation of this Union. It will
better accord with my feelings to seethe limits
of our glorious country extended, rather than
circumscribed, and we may feel it a nation
al necessity to enlarge our borders at no dis
te nt day. This Union, gentleman,- cannot
be dissolved, as long as the army have guns
to fight with. Furnish men and muskets,
and the Union is secured.
NO, 30.

The following extract from the revised report
of his simech in the House of Representatives.
Jan. 18, 1861, speaks for itself:
" My voice to day is for conciliation; nip
voice. is for compromise, and it is but tho
echo of nay constituents. 1 beg you gen
tlemen, who with me represent the North
west ; you who with 100 represent the State
of Ohio ; you who with me represent the
city of Cincinnati, I beg you, gentlemen, to
hoar that voice. If you will not; if you
find e oneiliation impossible; if your Affer
eneeS arc xo great that you cannot or will not

EM 1' tit E., AND - W 11 (AT T 1.1 111 ff DESTINY
AOCOEDINO TO THE WISDOM. WHICH GOD
LIAS GI V EN THEM."
Further along in the same speech he says
‘• If these Southern States cannot be rec
onciled, and if you, gentlemen, cannot find
it in your hearts to grant their demands; if
they must leave the family manson, I would
si!inali..:e their departure by tokens of love;
wwdil bid thew farewell so tenderly that they
wwild forever be touched by the recollection of
it ; awl if, in the vicissitudes of their sepa
rate e.r•istence. they should desire to come to
gether (wain in our common Government,
there should be no pride to be humiliated ;
there should be no wound inflicted from any
hand to be healed. 'They should come and be
welcome to the place they now occupy."
One man appears to have been very much
touched by the appeal in favor of letting the
rebels alone—just what they wanted and
want now—and it was the now rebel SecYe
tary of State, Mr. Benjamin, who, in taking
his leave of the United States Senate said, in
equally gushing terms :
" When we shall have left these familiar
halls, and when force bills, blockades, armies,
navies, and all the accustomed coereive . frin
ciples of despots shall be proposed and advo
cated, voices shall be heard from this aide of
the Chamber (the democratic side) that will
make the very roof resound with indignant
clamor of outraged freedom. Methinks I
still hear ringing in my ears the appeal of
the eloquent representative (Hon. Geo. H.
Pendleton of Ohio) whose northern home
looks down on Kentucky's fertile borders."
