When the governments of the Confed racv, and of the States, shall have provi ded a certain and appreciable currency, 1 for the people; and appropriated all the 1 real money, or coin, now trembling in tbe ' bank-, for their external transactions; 1 there can be no want of means, for tbe ' public exigencies ; as long as there are ' fighting mer, or materials of war in any portion of our extensive domains. TL?re 1 is a substantial abundance, independent 1 of the delusions of the borrowing system, ' m and speculations upon credit. This *' currency, representing rani value, will serve n> the gride of expenditure , nnd it ' may be hoped that the attention of the 1 people, and of their ruler* will be attract ed, by that consideration, to a aound econ* ? omy; and not continue the extrava I gance and thrtfllessnes*, which have l%en t the natural, and evil results of the explo- i ding paper raonoy system of loans, pay a* i hie in the future. I The divine admonition that "sufficient for the day is the evil thereof," has no better illustration, orclearer eviJence, | than our experience of that rnin wea'tb, which rests on the imaginations of the i impenetrable future. When the people of the South, in the cause of their independence, are using what they have, rather than trusting to their credit, their con tributions will be given with more earm j ostness; and tlie appropriations of^overn- I inent will probably be more judicious.;? i Necessity will be acknowledgod, and its j teacbings "respected* "However stern j her lessons, they wilk bo Teamed; and a moru cautious and inventive etjergyjbe ; ^ generated,nhan fT lief visage be veiled, i * rtud bar frowns resented, \Yheu every dollar in circulation rep resents something real, which bas been actually taken from tbe wealth of the^ people, ? whether it be the blood of the soldier, tl,e corn of tbe farmer, tbe skill, of tjie m^hnnic, or thd talents of 7\ie statesman or general?it will speak ?

If tbe peo pie realize that the life of tbe Slate js en- I dangered, they will, every one, in Lie own phere, alio realize Che neee<*'ty of sacri- | filing every tiling to save that public life, as lie would not hesitate to do, to save < bis own. There nn be no question that (bis war insists on'the employment of every citi- I < serf; and that almost all the occupations i of social life are subservient. To a great ^ extent, this baa been recognised and reg- c ulated bvthe government.

AH may be said to b? enlisted in tbe army; and tbe principles ^ it tbat experience has shewn to be essentia! ' to the maintenance of armies, should r*g ulate every profession, ami trade, and the family household. Those principles may be finalised into two great carditis. ele ments :?obedience, and economy. p?. ....

Such is the condition of the told or,?of the flower of our population ;?and it is unpatriotic for any one to desire more. It j is the duty of the sovereign authority to make such laws, aa will, so far as human j imperfection permits, put all the people on a footing of equality, in our common struggle, for our common country, in a cotntuon peril. All should l>e like an ar- i my:?like an army, not for parade, or to i maintain the dignity of n nation, in peace1 i lui Iniies ; but lor w*r, to (Wend the free < Join, sovereignty, and independence, of i the whole people. I It whi wisdom, then, nnJ not penuri I ou.'nen, which induced the recent debate, in the 'Southern Cotigresa, upon the bill ' to retrench it* own expenditure. When 1 a gentlemen 1ms been elected by the peo' < pie, to serve tlie country, in Congress, it " is his duty to obey } as the soldier, who 1 has been drafted for the army. When 1 he takes his post, he should be satisfied, r with suoh compensation, as will be ade " quale to his support, in an economical 1 way. Every dollar lie expends, beyond the necessities ol a republican Senator, is " the measure of his seifish indulgence, in ^ ignoble contrast with the sacrifices of his H 'ellow citizen, in the field; who is defend 1 ng the capital, st the risk of life, and 1 lieallli, and under all the privations of the ' camp.
