The first" and great' cause of thc pr?tent -fahtie-p'rice of provisions is the cbnduet^frfhje Government Commissioners for assessing tb?"price: pf-^rain.' With tbe'mo tives of those g^o??m?n tc haye nothing lo do, aud shall tay-nothing on hat point. Wo consider thoriuoBtion ?top?y ina tnapciul light^ and ia that Bepoct wc ?iro hound io pronounce the oon . dee t of these Commissioneu as marked by the most unparalleled ignorance, .just at tho time when the new Curren ey Bill hoc commenced its opera, lions, when several"millbn of Treasury Notes had been withdrawn fton circulation: on the day whon the people bad Ucn promised that the -currency would be improvd and the coat of liv ing diiyniebcd, these Coamissioners, come fon ward-lile tho evil gen iq s ; of the country-and in tho temerity of theiri'ftt'orance, by ono fatal: | net, defeat utterly ali tho legislation of Congress .'on thc currency quosiicn. They destroyed effec tually by their decree,- alt hat tho nid'ed wisdom of the country had done, or could do to restore' the currency. When thej raised the GoVern .ment pt ?ce of corn to $5, tl ey-struck a fatal blow at Government credit. It?ras not so much the mere nu:cunt of ' money that the Government j would lose by the rhcreaseelprieeOf corn, buttho injury wis this. Just at tie moment when tho' wholo country was expeethgan imjproeewenf. i?.j tbe currency, Government ?facer? loise the price I bf cora 100 per cent ina day; thus proclaiming to thc.public,that, notwithstanding all Congress had doue, th* currency o?thc country had de-, prrrmttd) and ?mdd continue to depreciate. Their proclamation bad the effect-we do not say ihe detirad or anticipated effect- but the erT^cf that .once.the confidence e?thc pabilo lu the new issue, and enrrjed. nyntie, price .of everything to the irorent ruinous point, <, The question now presents itself: who is-beoe fitted by putting bread at'famine prices t% We answer, no one-but every member of thc com mouity is injured. This we -hope to show you. Who is benefited by putting corn at $10 a bushel ? Every mun, we suppose, who- has corn to sell, thinks himself benefited; ambit-is just this-do lusion that is mining tho country. Suppo.? a planter bas corn te veli, ?rd be gets ' the market' price-$f1U or ?io a buniol.. This money fae must .either spend for the necessaries of life, i-r ipvest U.in"pr<.perty" i. c. lund mid negroes^ i>rin Gov ernment Bonds. It .will bc st membered' that, baring no specie, bread has boccme in tho Con federate States, the standard*.of vuluc; andas the price of bread rjses or fads, so all other com modities rise or fall in proportion. ThuS when cota sells at $10 a bushel, yea will get no more meat, or cloth, or Eugar, or salt,~~for a haskel of corn than you would if .com-was felling at $1.00. li you -.tarit to iavest money in lands or alav?s, you Had the same fact ? Wring you in the face. The people are under a moat fatal dolusion that they are getting rich under these high prices for provisions. Nor is it anything new that a whole country should be fatally" deluded upon a finan cial question. " Tbe South Sea Bobble" in the 'reign of George 1st, deluded the. whole English nation; millions were suiik and thousands of_in nocent persona hopelessly ruined... If the people of tho Confederacy can accumulate .property at il, ir lime, it will bc done in opposition'to uil the received/rides uf Polit'crd Economy.

But we opine that it would prove rftker an unprofita ble business to sue the Confederate Government for one thousand million dollar?, ft might tum out a nulla iona ease. While, rhea tbe Secretary of tbe Treasuey is tho ortcn.-iio .. drawer of tbcoe notes, bo is in point of fact hut the agent of a Compnny. The Principal, thtrre*r.oiui!'{i/e patty for these'notes, is the people' of the Confederate SV >*. If those notes arc eyer paid they most b? paid hy tho people of tba Confederacy. It would be well then for tho planter and Manu facturer to understand now tbi! when ho ls sell ing-his goods for Tr errs u ry no tc/, he ia telling for his own paper. Ile promises to pay thc bolder of the raid notes so many d?rkri in gold or sil ver coin six months after a treaty of peace, wifk the United States. -Hence th? exact amount of promissory notes issued by. tho Treasurer, will ba the amount ef the debt which the people will have to pay at the end of thia war.

I if tbe Pian ter and Manufacturer require the Government to pay $6 instead of $1 for food ged clothing tu supply, the Army, they will have a7i<bi - of lire instead ot one to pay at tba end ej|J?Awar. Instead of accumulating-a national sVtwfftnually. of one million, they ire in fact mailing a debt of ?TO million. Tho qutution- recur*: who is to be benefited by the operatiuu?

Thc scenes wire all very beautiful, and wore greeted with loud applause, especially Ibo comic rc presentation of a Pantomime; illus trative of the effects ef tbs universal passion for telling and hearing ghost.-atorics.' Hie exhibi tion war a Complete success, as waa testified by the frequent bursts of applause, and the* many earnest requests *for a speedy rere ition of tho entertainment ; as well as by the moro tangible fact, that, m the nest morning, the accomplished and talented Principal of the Sch del forwarded $700 to Rev.
