OUR ARMY AND NAVY.

Some of the would-be newspaper
Ienlighteners of the age propose to re-
-duce the expenses of the federal gov
eminent, by diminishing the number
of federal troops, as well as the navy
in service, to just one-half. The Wis
dom of such a piece of financial econ
omy is little remarkable. It puts
us in mind of colonial times. At one
of the sittings Of the convention that
formed the constitution of the United
States, a member thereof, who was
doubtless haunted by the shadow Of
the very evil that now aflicts our
modern Lycurguses, proposed to in
sert an article limiting the standing
army to five thousand men. On that
occasion, Gen. Washington replied that
be should have no objection to such
an article, provided it could be SO
amended as to read that no enemy
should invade the country with more
than three thousand! The amend
ment settled the fate of that PROPOSE
ton; and if Gen Washington were
still living, we have no doubt that his
would just as readily extin-
guish the views Of the new econo-
mists. We could certainly afford to
cut down our navy one-half if Great
Britain, France, Spain, ETC., would con-
sent to cut down theirs to the extent
of two-thirds; and we could easily do
with standing army of one thousand
men, if the Indians on our frontiers
would only agree to attack the set.

NEWSPAPERS.


osted, ne can but endorse the following
article, which we clip from that old
and staunch paper, the Richmond
Enquirer. It is true, every word of
it, and the sum paid by the head of the
family, is the cheapest tuition money
he ever pays for his children. The
Enquirer says:
There is 10 book so instructive as
newspaper; no knowledge so nee
ossary to be acquired as that which
may be CLEANED from its columns,
and acquired with half SO much faeil-
lily, It is not only the vehicle Of the
cheapest and most useful information,
but it also affords the cheapest, most
innocent and least cloying source of
pleasure and happiness. Anewspaper,
in a large family, is sure every day
to be the means of interesting, infor-
ming, or pleasing almost every mem
Der Of the family, especially where
they live in the country, and see and
hear little that's new. In the course
Of a year, well conducted paper
conveys information on almost every
subject, or at least excites curiosity
and inquiry on all subjects. To know
what is nearest to us in time and
in space, is most necessary, most
pleasing, and most instructive; and
this kind Of knowledge can only be
obtained from newspapers. We would
venture to affirm that there never
was and never will be, in a country
situation, an ignorant family who took
a newspaper. Let any parent teach
his children to read, and then sub
scribe to paper, and it is impossible
that his family should not in time
become well-informed, provided they
they live sufficiently secluded to be
thrown upon the paper as source of
amusement. The dullest child who
hates a book viii, in rainy weatAer,
steal up to newspaper read q mar
rage notice, an advertisement or two,
and put it down, The next time,
probably, he will become holder, and
get through "a Horrible Murder"
Soon he will read short tales of fiction;
then just before the election time,
lie begins to peep into politics and even
toread political speeches. By this time
his curiosity on most subjects is excl
ted, and overcomes his aversion and
fear Of books, and he is hired onto be-
come reading and well-informed
man. It is strange that any family
as a measure of economy, should be
without papr. Children see the
world cheaply at home, in newspaper,
without the danger of bad association
or the expense Of travel.

Hon. B. f. HALLErr-During

Hon. B. f. HALLETr-During a
recent speech of this we'll known
Democrat, in Boston, he made the
following striking point while speak
ing of disunion: '9The portion Of
the liberated slaves that would fall
to Massachusetts would be about
100000, and the abolitionists here
would be the first to resort to meas
ures for expelling them from the
State" So thatabolitionism would,
in the first place, break down the Union
to set the slaves free, and after they
were set free, would pass laws in the,
different States of the North exclu-
ding them from the borders Of ALI
such States. This is what we call
abolitionism illustrated.

Tennessee and Virginia. Banks.
The followingis an article in Thomn

aonnooocc 1hu sHStsia OunAo'
s. The followingis an article in Thomp-
ron's Bank Note Reporter, Of a late
| date, upon the banking system in
Tennessee and Virginia:
I s'The Bank Of Tennessee belongs
Eentirely to the State, and hence COM
monty called the State Bank, having
a nominal capital Of 5,000,00O: a
portion is borrowed at 6 y cent. in
terest, by the issue of the State bonds,
and the remainder is tie money of
the common school fund. This bank
is managed by politicians, makes no
dividends, and has lost about $1,000
1000 Of It's capital in bad debts. The
mother bank is located at Nashville,
bat it issues no notes payable there.
All It's business is transacted with
notes payable at distant branches,
many of them several days journey
from Nashville. This currency is not
redeemed by the Bank upon any
terms whatever. IF You take hack
Ito the bank notes which they have
just paid out, they not only refuse
coin, bat they refuse to sell exchange
on any point at any rate, for their
branch notes; but they politely sug-
|gest that you are at liberty to send
them to distant points at which they
are payable for redemption. This is
the only method of getting them re-
deemed. $ .'''@ -
+ "The Union Bank and Planters
Bank follow the same plan ofisissuing
no notes except they are made pay
able at distant points; but either of
them viii sell to other banks and
brokers exchange on New York or
Philadelphia, and receive their. branch
notes in payment, at J % cent. pre-
MUM. This is a mutual arrangement
to prevent the Banks from sending
home each others circulation for re-
demption. s,e,..e-
"The Bank Of Nashville, organized
under the general law, 100000
circulation, pays coin promptly on
presentation in Nashville. The Cen
trail Bank (chartered) makes its notes
payable in Nashville, and pays out no
other kind.
Certificates for the establishment
Of four new Banks in Nashville, under
the general law, have been fled in
the comptroller's Office, and orders
given by that Office for plates and
notes, viz: Bank of Commerce, City
Bank, Merchants Bank, and Traders
Bank. The notes of. all these banks
must be payable in coin at Nashville.
"The above plainly shows why
Free Banking does not flourish in
Tennessee. - '.
'In Virginia, the system of paying
out the notes Of distant branches,
prevails; thus virtually saddling the
community with an iredeemable cur
rency, on which, if gold is wanted, a
shave or very long journey inevi-
table. 1t is high time this old fogy

Prices OF BREADsTuFFs.-The mar
ket for breadstuffs on this side the
water is said to be much above the
advanced prices ruling in Liverpool
and London. The French can NOW
bay cheaper there than they can here.
The Now York Post says that the
shipments now making are at one or
two dollars, including charges, per
bbl., more for flour than in Liverpool;
and this fact alone renders bills drawn
against them unsafe. Speculation has
been carried too far. The advance in
the foreign market has been more
than anticipated long ago, and as the
daily supplies in the New York mar
ket have much increased of late, prices
ara declining. mr. 5 aart.al ~ ~

AID TO KANSAS. We see, says the
Huntsville Ad0ocate of the 14th
instant, that in many portions Of
Alabama meetings are held, with
very animated discussions in regard
to the affairs and prospects Of Kan
sas. They have earnestly set to
work to form Emigration Aid Socie-
ties, in order to populate Kansas
with pro-slavery men. 1t has been
proposed by some of them, that
every stakeholder in our State pay
one dollar for each slave of bis.
for the furtherance of the aims of
the Societies. In this way it
is said four hundred thousand
dollars could be raised in this
State, and four millions by the same
ratio Of taxation throughout the
entire body Of slave States.
In Georgia, also, We note public
meetings for the same purpose. In
fact general determination seems
to be actuating the people in many
portions of the South to bring this
great question of Aboliticnism Os
Slavery to an issue on the soil Of
Kansas.
