Virginia Northern Exchange.

From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. D.
The dry goods merchants of this city are
enduring at this time species Of torture
as circulating as that which cells are sup
posed to undergo in the process Of being
skinned alive. They purchase goods at the
North and resell them here at net aver
age profit, it may be supposed, Of ten or
twelve per cent. They collect their ao-
counts here in that delectable sort Of money
put out by our banks, dsnominated "current
funds" With this "currency" they pur.
chase from our banks and brokers their
checks on the North, with which they pay
their debts in that quarter, and the differ.
snce Of exchange which they are paying fol
these checks has ruled at la per cent. foI
some time past that is 10 say, our Richmond
merchants (as are, indeed, the merchant,
of every Virginia city, are taking to oul
banks notes Of their own issue, and ex
changing them with these concerns fol
checks on New York, paying at the rate o
$ll2 in bank notes for 800 Of bank checks
on New York. Thus the merchants nr'
losing more, in this single form of exchange
than the profits on their business-are max
ing money, in other words, "over the lef
shoulder" and throwing in their labor ant
wear and tear of brain and feeling, TO boot.

Benton's Abridement.

M. CLARK, agent of d. Appleton s. Co.,
of New York, publishers of Col. Benton's
Abridgement of the Debates of Congress,
was in our place few days since, taking
subscribers for the same.
Men of distinction, and the leading pa
pers of the country, unite in declaring this
one Of the best works ever issued from the
public press ,and one that it is specially nee
ded. No living man is better qualified for
the task than Col. Benton, and he regards
it as the great work of his life. No library
will be completed without it, and it should
and will, be more generally sought after
than any book ever published. Those who
want to secure early copies, will give theil
names 10 Mr.. Clark.

Financial.
From the New York Herald, Nov. 2

From the New York Herald, Nov. 20.
The New York city banks yesterday
virtually resumed specie payments. Though
they do not yet pay specie on demand for
checks, very few institutions refuse it to
their customers, and all, we presume, will
redeem their own paper in specie If re-
quired 10 do SO. The New Orleans banks
have already resumed. In this State, we
suppose that the solvent country banks will
soon be placed on their old footing. There
only remain the New England and Penn
sylvania banks, with few isolated cases
in the South and West, on which the effects
of the late revulsion are still felt.
As to the Pennsylvania banks the period OF
their resumption has been fixed by statute,
and will not probably be anticipated. OF
the prospects of the New England banks
the public are not appraised; but the feeling
at Boston, as here, is very buoyant, and
every encouragement. will be given to the
banks TO resume,
a Washington correspondent Of the same
paper, says:
1t is rumored that Mr.. Buchanan, in his
first annual message to Csngress, will take
bold ground on the currency question; that
he will re-affirm the principles laid down
so clearly in his celebrated speech on the
Independent Treasury bill. He believes
that it was the intention Of the trainers Of
currency, and that the action of Congress
since has been a steady departure from that
intention. 1t will be his object, then, to re-
trace the false steps taken, and to bring the
government back 10 the true ground.
The issue will be made in the next Con-
gress whether State banks have the const.
tutional power to issue circulating "promi-
ses to pay" There will be a large party
to take the negative of the argument, who
will not, it is said, yield until decision
has been given on the question by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. A gen.
eral bankrupt law for the banks will be
presented for action. This will provide q
fixed legal course for putting into liquida-
tion insoIvent banks all over the Union.
The New York Daily News, democrat.
ic paper Of high authority, says:
THE Democratic party is prepared, We
believe, to divorce the fiscal interests of the
people every where in the States, countie,
and cities from the credit system, and thu.
give stability and soundness 10 our entire
currency, by preventing the funds of The
people becoming basis for that initiation
which robs labor Of so much of its Just due,
and brings the country periodically to tn,
brink Of bankruptcy. II every State, city
and county required its due, TO be paid ant
disbursed in gold, there would be checl
of far more practical character than to re-
quire that the Banks should reserve in thei
vaults a certain percentage Of gold. Thi
and the adoption generally of laws restrain
ing the issues Of notes below twenty dol
lars, would be the first step of reform il
the currency"

Cooley for 1858.

We are in receipt Of the December num-
Der Of the Lady's Book, and those who have
taken it the past year, we think will agree
with us, that there is no sham about Cooley.
He promises large, it is true, but it is also
true that he is geographically in fulfilling
his promises. Look at the reading matter,
fashion plates, designs, &c., in the present
number, and then say if handsomer num-
Der can be issued. Cooley promises hand
somer for January, and he will give it.

A Great Argument for Pacific Rail
Dad.


The Mormon war, on which, it appears,
we are just entering, will show us the ne
cessity for Pacific Railroad. The Chica-
go Press says:
Now suppose that five years ago the sum
Of twenty-five millions of dollars had been
devoted by Congress TO the construction Of
a Railroad to the Pacific, upon such condi-
tions as would have insured its judicious
expenditure. On the central route, the
natural and true one, a road could by this
time have been constructed 10 the South
Pass, the entrance to Salt Lake Valley.
How easy, then, it would have been to dis
patch an adequate force to that point to hold
the Mormons in check. The whole force
that are now struggling for existence on the
plains or in the mountains, if fortunately
they have not been compelled to struggle
with Mormon foes, with all their munitioa.
and the provisions which have been destroy
ed, could have been sent from St. Louis L
their destination in fortnight at the out
side, at mere fraction of the cost of theil
transportation by the means now in use
Not only so, but it is almost certain tina
with railroad Communication open TO Utah
there would have been no Mormon rebel
lion, and consequently no need Of an ex
petition to put it down. Even if rebellio
had shown itself, it could have been check
ed at once, at trihing cost, and without tn,
necessity of sending on second expedition
