This is a table for statesmen and working
men TO study the one can learn from it their du-
ty, and the other their rights. Reformation in
the currency Of the country is loudly called for,
and can no longer go UNDECIDED -
The public can see, by this table that, within
the last four years, there has been S42,741 ,615
in gold and silver imported into this country
notwithstanding the disastrous times and that,
after exporting $27,63o,363 to discharge foreign
debts, which we ought to have paid in the pro-
of our own soil and our own industry,
stthere is surplus remaining Of Sl5,1u,252,
sufficient TO form the metallic basis Of nation
al currency, which, placed in the custody Of
the Treasury Of the Government. would furnis h
the best currency in the whole commercial
world
All money changes hands, on an average, at
least once a month, twelve times year. And
the sum of fifteen millions passing through
twelve revolutions, would furnish an amount OF
currency equal TO $50, 100000 annually. :

IMPORTATION AND EXPLOITATION
OF SPECIE.

To furnish an argument in favor Of contnu-
is frequently said, that the specie is exported
and that, if the banks should resume, every dol
lar would go out Of the country The public
are tn ereiore told that il is much better to have
the specie locked up in our banks, than to suffer
John Bull to have IT.
If it be due to John Bull, John Bull should
have it and ifthe note holders are entitled to it,
Mey should have il. Why should debtor be
allowed the mpudence to tell his creditor, =" II
pay you, you will have TO pay your creditors
with the money ; so you had better let me keep
it for YOU, as it will always be safe IN my pos
session, and YOU can have il at any time-er-
cept-when you want II p
Bullet us see whetherit be true, that all the
spesie does 90 out of the country. Ii we car
show that more is imported than is exported
then this argument in favor Of continued non
re assumption falls TO the ground
There are but lew journals that come TO the
notice Of the people Of the interior that furnish
them with the money statistics of the country
but the people Of the cities, having an opportu
nlty to. see all the journals, have the means Of
better information on the subject.
There are many journals however, and fnan-
cial magazines, that are full of information on
the subject of the currency; but their cTcula.
ton, unfortunately is too limited to extend the

re are glad to see this journal make modest
approaches TO truth and candor In It's lnterpre
tation -four remarks upon the Mississippi Bonds,
it edges a little nearer the true version thaTwe
have hardly ever known it to do. We now look
upon il as in quite hopeful way
What we SAID of the Mississippi Bonds was
as follows:
ave shall wait till Mississippi IS tired, be-
fore we condemn her; II she be Iouhu no.
guilty." why we shall then have saved ourselves
the super1ut us wisdom Of having pronouhceq
Judgment against her"
We then stated the question involved IN 'he
case, as we understand il, and remarked mat we
should suspend our judgment TIL the ''l~c's'' OF
the case were ''ascertained" And upon TINS
the Courier comes post haste to the following
conclusion from our premises;
The Madisonian takes sides with the MISSISSIPPI
regulators and seems think sympathy ought W NC

when he gets into the tom6s
We did indeed remark in concluding our prlei
notice of this case, though without making any
allusion to the late election, that "honor and
honesty should nerer be made party questions
by The Madisonian;n which seems TO have gwen
great offence to the Courier, for which we are
extremely sorry; and as itregards the Courier
alone, we now beg leave TO withdraw this 'cten'
sire language"

We hope the new editor of the Madisonian will re-
member that part of HIS motto which says "et there
be In all things charity,"-N, q. Bee
What can the Bee be after D. ladisonian
The Bee is only recalling to the official its motto
taken from the writings of he Fathers of the Chris
tan Church 1t inculcates charity but the course OF
the Hand Organ in regard to Mr. Clay is full OF
Envy, malice, and uncharitaheness." The motto
oflhe Medisonl should be changed Does i, now
understand what we would he after
The Bee itself is ordinarily 50 violent and
reckless in its denuncations that it must have
gathered a considerable lot OF assurance to en-
able it to impugn US for envy, or malice, or un-
charitableness towards Mr.. Clay or any other
person We see no reason why we should en-
Wy Mr.. Clay ertainly not for the frequent de-
feats of his aspirations after the Chief Magis-
tracy, nor for the unpopularity he has brought
Justly on himself by his late dcaorial AFRO
gance in the Senate. Against him we can
therefore feel no malice. We wish him no in
jury and we think and hope that he can no long
er harm the country. We have manifested no
lack Of charity towards him, His talents we
admire, his services we appreclate-but we can
not approve his hank-mania. In our expires
sions Of disapprobation, however, we have. en-
ployed towards him, as we have done 10 others
the language of gentlemanIy courtesy, We
shall keep our motto, Notwithstanding the harm
less buzzings Of the Bee,--conscious that we
have not departed from its doctrines and re-
solved at no time to devi;te from them. We
combat coolly for principles, and the men who
will uphold them, and feelno temptation TO in.
dul4e in violence Of feeling or harstness Of Ian
guage.

promises TO pay by the Merchants Bank, and
thinks further discussion will lead TO stiil more
desirable results.
He says, in conclusion, that
"The forthcoming message ofthe Governor VIII, we
also understand take high ground IN yor OF inmedi'
ate resumptonsby all the Banks, and It any Of 'ieh
cannot come up to the Scratch he will urge tha'
the delinquents should 90 into liquidation without o.
lay. II will then remain for the Legislature TO BACK
the Governor, and all will 60 right. prompt appli-
cation Of the Legislative lash to the backs ol 'ne

what they ought to be, beneficial institutions 10

We are glad to see that the suspension oil spe-
Gle payments is not likely 10 be used much long
er as an argument in favor of utility or honesty
and that the legitimate object OF all banks VIII
be considered as most likely 10 be attained by
adopting honesty as means, and utility as an
end.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
NAVY

This is decidedly the ablest document tAat has ma
mated from hat Department tor years BY his pr
ness To suggest reform to the Navy and in his cn-
orged and liberal views, Judge Upshur has given the
friends of the Navy earnest OF what is be ex-
pecied from him
He goes for overturnng the Navy Board--tor the
establishment of Naval Academy-for the creation
of Admras-fo for increasing the number Of ships Off
GERS and men in the Navy, and enlarging he Marine
Corps measures all of them highly important and me-
ces,ary. We could have wished the Secretary had
gone little further and recommended the transfer OF
the Revenue service over to the Navy. and for Build
ING ships by contract. These though are subjects
which we doubt not will be brought forward in due
time We admire particularly the manly and indie
pendent spirit with which the Secretary brings for
ward his measures. He tells Congress very plainly
that a Navy cannot be kept up without money, and
takes the ground that whatever is necessary Tor the
honor and safety Of the nation the nation must have
He draws a very proper distinction between economy
and parsimony He promises to exercise the most RI
Gid economy ia all expenditures, and asks for what
ever he eonceves necessary
The Secretary intends TO open Rendezvous in the
interior for The shipment Of apprentices We glad
of this for prefer good country boys 10 The of
scourngs of our large cities We should be glad to
see rendezvous Of the kind opened at Frederick bug
We could promise hundred or two boys ofthe very
best sort OF stuff.

RESUMPTION in NEW ORLEANS.

The Neu Orleans Morning Adcertser Of
the 9th instant, has an encouraging article on
this subject not only encouraging, but little
threatening, too, towards,the conclusion
1t commences with saying that
nTo-dav we understand the subject of immediate
resumption will be brought up at the Board OF Drec-
tors ofhe Commercial Bank, and It Is confidently be-
lieyed that the Dc csion will be to follow example
of The Bank of Louisiana at once We know that
there are members Of Board favorable to the policy
Of resumption without delay. They see that every
hour il is put off, the danger increases Whether
ther advice will be taken is another thing IL it is,
the community will rally around the Bank, and hail
with Joy her to the good old path of honesty"
The Citizens Bank is spoken of as getting
ready to come out Of the valley Of darkness"
the State Bank and Consolidated association
as likely to follow, and the onion Bank as
not likely 10 lag behind
But what, he asks, win become Of the other
banks2 And bids them follow their leaders and,
il they cannot, tells them to go the way Of all
flesh: thinking it better they should die now
Than y,ar hence, to carry with them the now
solvent institutions. n
The Gas Bank, ~ editor says, did not vlo'
late the amnesty of 1858, and is still specie
paying bank, and that the Merchants Bans mas
escaped the disgrace Of suspension at this late
day This bank had sent money to Mississippi
in exchange for cotton, and much of It having
been returned upon her, the Directors resolved
not to emit the half million they recently con-
iempaed This is stated however qualifiedly,
and not certainly.
The editor congratuates the public fof having
gained by the discussion of these Bank matters
Two impOvtant points--fhe resumption ofspec'e
payments by the Bank of Louisiana, and the
abandonment Of the proposed issue Of broken
