TO the United States-and as such should re-

under the hand of the present General-in.

Gen. Butler has but carried out the orders o.
his Government; the odium and reproach of tn.

EXPLOITATION OF SPECIE AND ITS EFFECTS
The steamer tomorrow will take, it is estima-
ted $500, 900 in Specie. The receipts continue
to be larger than the shipments. The South
erner, from Charleston brought about 500 ,00C
mostly drawn from Savannah. The Caledo-
MIA, at Boston, had a small amount some OF
which has been received.-Nep York Trib-
une.
This is similar to great many paragraphs
we see in the N. York papers. They general.
ly end with the sagacious remark; ''the re-
|ceipts are equal to the shipments" That is
in the City of NeW York, the receipts are
equal to the shipments. But how is it with
the whole country? Just look at this matter a
moment. Since the lst of last October, seven
months, the Export of Specie from this coun
try has been about TWELVE MILLIONS OF Dol
LARS. Notwithstanding this, the vaults of tn.
New York Banks have kept full. Well, wha
does that prove? Simply that this great amour
of Specie has been taken from the nterio
Banks and Interior traders. And what is tn,
effect of that? tits stagnatins the current O
trade in the West and South.
Already the country is terribly feeling thi
great draft on the resources Of the interior ira
ders. 1t is now the dull season, indeed. Blu
it is well known that many Of the interio
Counties of the West are already experiencing
a "pressure" and should this drain of speci
continue, there is no doubt that there must b.
a general want Of money through the country
