PITTSBURGH, FEBRUARY 15, 1862.
The National Note Bill.
The question of finance is one of the
most important which belongs to the main
tenance of Government. It is at all times
important, but, at a time like this, its im
portance is transcendent. " Money is the
sinews of war." In modern times wars are
always carried on by loans. The vigor
necessarily put forth requires mere' than
the means on hand can sustain, and more
than can be promptly raised by any system
of taxation. Loans also have the benefit
of not exhausting the country. Payment
is spread over years, so that economy and
the profits of industry may repay the debt
without crippling the country.
Lnans are effected partly in foreign coun
tries, and partly from the people. In Eng
land they arc usually made to government
by large capitalists. In France, of late,
they are obtained more from the masses.
In our own country they have been taken,
generally, by chartered State banks.
The banks of Boston, New-York, and
Philadelphia patriotically came forward and
took our Government's first large loans in
the present war. But the amount needed
in the prosecution of the contest, is too
large for the banks to furnish. Their
whole capital would not meet the public
wants. That money must be furnished by
the people. The question then arises, how
can it be obtained promptly, and most
equably, and so as not to derange business.
A tax, wisely laid, of sufficient, amount,
and faithfully collected, must be the basis,
certainly. This is the indispensable. But
loans still are needful. A judicious tax is
the foundation for the loan.
Our Government has pledged itself to
raise at least $150,000,000 annually, by a
tax; .and to meet present wants, and faoili
tate the obtaining of loans, a bill has
been passed by the House, and will doubt
less pass the Senate, authorizing the issue
of $150,000,000 of demand Treasury Notes
The main features of this bill, we give in
another column.
This bill met with great opposition from
some of the brokers, and a few of the banks,
in our principal cities. This opposition
was directed mainly against one feature of
the bill, that is, that these notes shall be a
legal tender for the payment of money in
all claims, public and private.
The CONSTITUTIONALITY of this feature
of the bill was strongly denied—denied by
some honest politicians, and specially and
violently opposed by some who make their
living and their wealth by dealing in money,
buying and selling stocks, "shaving."
The clause which makes these notes a legal
tender is a sad blow upon their prospects
of making gain off a suffering country and
a toiling community. Its constitutionality
is inferred by its advocates, from the fact
that the Government is authorized to coin
money, regulate trade, and provide for the
public safety. It is also inferred from the
prohibition put upon the States. The
States may not issue bills of credit, nor
make anything but gold and silver a legal
tender ; 'which implies that the power to
do these things belongs to sovereignty, and
resides in the General Government. The
Courts, however, will pronounce on this
question, if any one thinks it worth the
trouble of bringing a case before them.
The friends of the bill, in claiming the
Constitutional power to pass it, did not
affirm, however, that it was a power to be
used, except in a ease of urgent necessity.
The nation's life was threatened. The de
fense must be vigorous. Money must be
had. Money could not be borrowed abroad,
nor from bankers at home, nor from the
people directly and in time. And to pass
the bill without making the notes a legal
tender would be ruinous to the public ex
chequer.
BENERITs many and, great are expected
from this' bill. The first- and immediate
one is, that the Government is thereby
enabled to carry on the war. But the gen
eral benefits will be grea t—presuming
always that there shall be an adequate tax
bill, and that the issue of notes shall not
be too great. The notes will furnish a per
fectly equal currency throughout the Union,
and thus facilitate exchanges, and prevent
losses. They will expel much of the irre
deemable bank paper, which is issued with
out any adequate basis. They will greatly
limit money lenders in their impositions
upon the nations and the people. They
will facilitate the payment of taxes, and
the making of 'exchanges. The bill will
greatly help both Government and people
in regard to loans. Every man who can
Save fifty dollars, or a hundred, or five hun
dred, can at once turn it into Government
stock, bearing six per cent. interest. Thus
myriads of men will become Government
creditors; burdens will be equalized, and
the benefits distributed, and the wealth of
the country be brought out, and the masses
be more deeply interested in public econ
omy and public virtue. The bill will also
save the country nine millions of interest
annually; a sum which the people may as
well have as the bankers.
TUE SECURITY of these notes, on the
conditions before adverted to, is manifest.
They are receivable for all taxes, imposts,
and every public demand. They may be
exchanged any time for interest -bearing
bonds. They will pay any debt. And
they are backed by the whole property of
the country. If the people will but choose
honest Congressmen, there can be no
failure.
These notes are MONEY. We call bank
notes'money. We receive them as money
and pay them out as money—even notes of
suspended. banks. Even in " hard Money"
times; .almost the entire business of the
country is done with paper--bank, notes,
individual's notes, cheeks, certificates 44
deposit, drafts, bills of sale. Our foreign
business and our, domestic, are both thus
done. And the security of a bank note
depends not on the amount of coin in the
vault, but on the amount of good obliga
tions held. And the value of a mer
chant's bond is not measured by his specie
' in store, but by his ability to furnish some
thing which is demanded in the market--
grain, goods, iron, cotton, foreign exchange,
&o. So the value of our Government
notes and bonds depends not on its gold-;
but its property, its claims, its assets.
While it keeps its paper well balanced by
these, that paper is money to the people.
It will , pay their taxes, and pay their
debts, and form a medium for exchanges
in buying and selling. The bill we re
gard as a necessity and a benefit.
The Armies and Navies of
Europe.
At this time, when the journalists of the
old world are seeking to embroil us with
the nations of Europe, on account of our
warlike preparations, it is proper that our
people should know the extent of their
armaments even when not engaged in war.
We give our readers a condensed account,
taken from a late article in the Philadel
phia Press, which took its facts from the
.Almanach de Gotha for 1862, and which
publishes nothing but official statements.
The regular army of England is 213,-
773 infantry, 21,904 cavalry, 40 militia
regiments, and 150,000 volunteers—total,
424,677 soldiers of all classes. Her navy
has 893 steam and sailing vessels, carrying
16,411 guns, and 78,200 men, including
18,000 marines, and 8,550 coast guard
men. This is England's military and ult . -
val force in peace.
The French army has on a war footing
767,770 men, and 130,000 horses ; in
peace the numbers in service are 414,868
men, and 73,850 horses. The French na
vy consists of GOO vessels afloat, building,
or under transformation. Of these 373
are steam vessels, of which 59 are iron
cased. The naval force is 60,000 in war,
and 38,375 in peace.
In Prus:An, the army on a peace footing
is 212,649 men, and 622,866 in war. This
includes both infantry and cavalry. The
navy is small, having but 26 steamboats,
carrying 121 guns, and 74 sailing vessels,
carrying 200 guns.
Russia, in peace, has an army of 577,859
regular troops, with 136 regiments of cav
alry, and 31 batteries for irregulars. In
the navy she has 242 steam vessels, car
rying 3,854 guns, and 71 sailing vessels.
Austria has 248,680 infantry and cav
alry in active service, and as many more
ready, to be called into the field in a few
weeks' notice. Her navy has 58 steam
ships, carrying 456 cannon, and 79 sailing
vessels, carrying 439 guns.
In June, 1861, Italy had an army of
327,290 infantry, cavalry, and artillery,
and a navy of 106 vessels (steam and sail,)
carrying 1,086 guns and 18,000 men.
After such an exhibit as this, with
what show of reason can any of the
great powers charge us with having need
lessly organized a large army? Our army
is now a large one, but it is citizen soldiers,
intended entirely for the preservation of the
integrity of the Union.

Fire in Pittsburgh.
The Plow Factory of 41ohn. C• Bidwell was de
stroyed by fire, on Thursday morning, the 6th
inst. Five thousand plows, and thirty-eight
gun-carriages, were consumed. Loss, $50,000;
insured for $40,000.
Two boats of Reek Oil, on the Allegheny
River, were set on fire by the dying burning ma
terial, and consumed.
Pennsylvania Railroad.
One great cause of the increased income of the
road, is the closing of the'Mississippi against the
freight of the West. This cannot continue very
long. The Board, therefore, instead of making
a large dividend, has expended the, surplus net
revenues, after declaring the usual dividends, in
the extension of the road to the Delaware river,
the erection of an elevator, wharves and depots
at that terminus, and in increasing the equip
ment of the line.
This increased equipment will, after the Mis
sissippi trade shall cease to need it, be in de
manded by the Erie and Philadelphia line, which
is now possessed by the Pennsylvania road, and
is progressing toward completion.
The Burnside Expedition.
Information of the success of this enterprise
has been received by the way of Norfolk. It
seems, by the rebel statements, that Gen. Burn
side attacked Roanoke Island on the Bth, and
captured it after three days' fighting. Two ves
sels of the rebel flotilla were captured, and the
others were sunk or dispersed. Three regi
ments, under Gen. Wise, had lately gone to
Roanoke to oppose Burnside; all are supposed
to have been captured. Com. Lynch command
ed the rebel flotilla. We look for tidings of a
splendid victory.
Port Royal.
Letter writers have communicated so Many
facts respecting operations here, and have indi
cated movements, thus thwarting plans, that
Gen. Sherman and Coin. Dupont hare deter
mined to suspend communications thence. It is
understood, however; that something important
is about to take place.
The sloop-of-war Savannah. has arrived bring
ing intelligence up to Tuesday, the 28th ult.,
which into the effect that the expedition to the
South sailed from that point on Sunday, the 26th
ult., including all the light-draft steamers, eight
gunboats and 8,000 troops. The principal part
of the expedition went outside ; but one or two
small steamers with light vessels in-tow went by
the inside passage, The object was understood
to be an attack on Savannah, commencing at
Fort Pulaski.
Ml;sari.
Gen. Heck is arranging, to either capture
Prioe, now at Springfield, where he has been re
inforced from Arkansas, or to drive him from the
State. Gens. Beige Asboth, and Davis, have
the expedition, which, is now partly at Rolla and
partly at Lebanon. Gen. Hunter may ootiperate,
by a movement to Southern Kansas.
Sr. Louts, Feb. 10.—The following telegrams
have been received at Headquarters :
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8,,1862.

The Mortar Fleet.
A fleet of armed vessels, principally mortars,
has been in the course of preparation, for some
time, at New-York, under charge of Com. Porter.
Many experiments have been made, to test their
strength. Every few days we have noticed the .
Bailing of one or two of them to the plaee of
rendezvousl" , but where that is, is not told.
The, following description is giien:
- The heavy mortars were cast at Pittsburgh,
and have an average weight of about 17,000

pounds. The diameter of the bore is 13 inches,
and the depth -36 inches, with a thickness of
metal around it of 15 inches. The diameter of
the trunnions is 16 inches, and the complete
length of the mortar is 60 inches. They may be
used alike upon sea or land, and are elevated or
depressed by means of 'projectiles on the breeoh.
It is stated that accurate firing may be made at
a distanae of 2+ miles.
The citoular platform which sustains the mor
tar carriage is constructed of heavy timber, one,
foot in depth and twelve feet in diameter, and is
made to revolve so that the mortar may be aimed
in any direction.
The mortar carriage is made mostly of wrought
iron, having a length of about 0 feet and a
height of 4 feet. It weighs about two tons, and
is capable of resisting a pressure of about 150
tans.
The bombshells to be used weigh, unfilled,
200 pounds each, and when filled an additional
weight of 12 pounds is given. About 8,000 of
these missiles have been' manufactured for the
fleet.
Each vessel has been provided with two 32-
pounders, weighing 3,700 pounds. They are
smooth' bore and throw' solid shot and shell.
Instructions to be observed in time of attack
helve been transmitted by Government to the
officers of the fleet, and a, convenient code of
signals has been adopted. The vessels, which
are mostly schooners, of two and three hundred
tons burden, number twenty-one in all. The
side-wheel steam gunboat Octorara is to be the
flag-ship of the flotilla.
Washington.
FEBRIIARY B.—A week since the staff of Gen.
McClellan were notified to be in readiness for a
movement across the river. in consequence of

dered over, but they are ready to go, and when
they go, Gen. McClellan will turn over to the
temporary charge of Mr. Stanton, the control of
the entire army with the exception of the army
of the Potomac.
Further information has been received from
Gen. • Lander, by which it appears, that having ,
been reinforced, he marched, on Thursday, at
the head of between seven and eight thousand
troops, on the enemy, at Romney.' The , rebel
forces were about equal to,his own. They de
clined fighting, however, and retreated across
the river, destroying the wire bridge in their
rear, and running off, probably to Winchester.
As heretofore stated Gen. Lander is now in pos
session of Romney.

propriations reported by other Committees, and
the increase of these expenditures by amend
ments.

'rated in Northwood, Logan County, Ohio, and for many years'
ftvourpeosful operation, Love, been combined into one Instil-
Makin,
,under the control of an entirely new. Board, and will
be opened early in April, under the above name.
The Seminary building is commodions and handsome, and
is capable of affording accommodations for fifty boarders—is
also provided with piano, stoves, beds, chairs, tables, fec., fie.
The College building, some three hundred yards distant, is.
Much superior to the generality of College buildings in the
West. It is provided with a large apparatus, small library,
and a Societe room, elegantly and extensively, furnished.
The Board are desirous of securing the services of a Presi
dent and Professor, to take charge of the school at the ap
proaching Summer term.
It is ddsireble that the Principal or Professor abould live.in
the Seminary, and haye control of the female boarders. The
schools, owing to financial difficulties in connexion with the
endowment of the College, have not been in operation for,
more than a year; but it Is confidently believed that, opening
. under - dciew auspices, and relying entirely for the present'
upon tuition, it will be liberally, supported.
The Principal or Profiteer, if a United Presbyterian and a,
-preacher. can receive half a salary from a congregation of
that body worahipping in the College f and if a Presbytedan,
something might be realized IR the same way. The inatitn

HA GENBACH S
HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN DOMIHNE.
A New Edition, Edited and Translated by Prot .B. Sierra,
of the Union Theological Seminary. In 2 vole.,
Svo. Price $2.00 per volume.
Besides the, revision of the Edinburgh translation, wills
large additions from the 4th German edition, this volume
also contains new matter front Neauder, Baur, Gieseler, and
other writers on the history of doctrines; full supplements
to the bibliography of Hagenbach, including the English and
American literature; and also new sections by the American
Editor, amounting to more than sixty pages, mi•pertions of
the history, not fully treated; or wholly neglected, in the
original, viz.: on the German Reformed Theology, the French
School of Saunter, English Deism, the histoxy of Theology
and Philosophy in England, Scotland, and the 'United- States
of America. The literature of English and American theol
ogy, including all the denominations, is very fully given;
supplying a long felt desideratum of ministers and students.
The work, in this form, is more complete than any other
History of Doctrine. While Evangelical in its general tone,
it is likewise candid and impartial. Professor Schaff, of Mer
cersburg. said of the first volume, to which - the additions
were much lees full, "we do not hesitate to give this revised
translation the preference over even the original."
The Methodist said of it: "It is especially Aluabie for
the completeness of its bibliographical references. In this
department the German original is particularly deficient,
as it notices but rarely thelheological literatiike of England
and America."
The Bibliotheca &ecru says: "It is seldom that a manual
receives such substantial additions and improvements from
the hand of an editor."
