The War Il Military necessity wttA
the Norlh-Says the n O. Picayune,
among the many reasons assigned by
Northern men for the vindictive war
waged against the South, we do not
recollect to have seen the honest
truth more plainly told, than has fell
from the lips of Gen. Mcclellan, as
set forth in the following extract:
A few months ago Gen. Mcclellan
was asked by friend from Kentucky
Do you expect by this war to subju-
gate the South?
Subjugate the South : he replied.
No sir, the North can no more sub.
iueate the South than the South can
subjugate the North.
What then do you propose rs the
object and justification Of this horrid
war?
The answer was
Well sir, this war is a military ne
cessity to the North. We are oblig-
ed to fight you or we will have to
fight one another. There is an i'm
preston abroad unfavorable to our
courage; the same opinion prevails
at the South; and if we did not fight
we should lose the control over a
large portion Of our own people. So
we are under a necessity to fight.
The Central Presbyterian, Of Rich
mond, is responsible for the state
ment, having received it from "yood
authority
In our opinion. the above wl,ethc,
intended as joke or fact, contains
the truth of the whole course of the
North.

The .Acc0uNt at Scn-Ihe New
York Journal of Commerce. of the
21st ult., gives a recapitulation of
naval operations as follows:
Seized by Rebels, Ga vessels. val
ue S2,794,4OO. Seized by U. S.
Navy, So vessels, value s1,917,2OO.
Total 116 vessels, value s4,7OS,6O0.
Adding to this some vessels dis
posed of by the Sumter, and there
will be very good balance in favor
of The "rebels,' considering they
are just beginning naval affairs.
We are just commencing, and be-
fore we get through we hope to prove
that the balance in favor of the Con
federates will not only be every good
considering" but astounding to the
rascals.

b The following interesting commun.

81 The following interesting conmun-
ication deserves a careful perusai,
and at the present time athe sound
reasoning with which it abo"nds'
should bring it under the observation
of our Vigilance Committee. just
now we should, and it is oar duty, to
prevent specie from leaving our place.
particularly through the hands Of
"shavers;'' what little there is in our
community. is requisite for home
transactions, and without it business
will be much interfered with. The
communication reads: g..

may he destined .jor o"r c"e'raes' it
matters not at what premium.
Specie is not necessary in the bor-
der States to carry on the war, be-
cause, to the praise Of our patriotic
people there and elsewhere, be i. said,
our government issue will buy all that
specie will. If it was necessary
the response Of our people to every
other demand of the government
gives guarantee that they would
likewise respond to this, but such is
not the fact.
Is not this subject worthy the at
tention of the vigilance committee at
this time ? We disclaim any person
III allusion, but only desire to throw
out these suggestions for the benefit
of those whose duty it is to inves-
tigate. NIGLANcE'

at this time an article Of traffic 3
This is an interesting question, and
deserves the Intelligent consideration
Of this community.
1t is true that in ordinary times
the freest scope should be allowed to
Legitimate 6xnde, and it is only under
the stringent laws of necessity, that
legislative enactment should trammel
trade in any article of legal traffic
Much more stringent should be those
laws of necessity when the people Of
any community take upon themselves
to supply Legislative enactment, by
suppressing any evil which law does
not or cannot reach. Indeed this
should never be done except in legal
or moral resolutions.
This country is now in the midst
of a legal revolution. The healthy
laws of trade are all silenced. The
ordinary demand for specie, which Is
the great basis of trade as well as
value and circulation, is not there
fore governed by those healthy laws
of trade which will in ordinary times
equalize and adjust and regulate
themselves by the great and control
ing law Of supply and demand. -
A contingency thers ore. has arisen,
when some check 81 sll6uld be imposed
upon the draining Of one country or
section of country. of this "basis OF
value," to replete another, for the ad-
vantage and profit of the individual
engaged in the traffic.
Why is specie worth more in Vir-
ginia than in Louisiana! Trade be,
tween the former and latter State do
not demand this. IF it did it would
flow in its natural channels through
Exchanges in payment for value re
ceived here, and while we would lose
the specie We would gain in substance
it's equivalent. But there is no trade
and we now get mere promises te
l paw" either of individuals or corpo
rations OF government. We do no
at all doubt the ultimate responsible
ity Of all these "promises to pay
But what will be the condition of oul
State and country when the specie
now in circulation shall be thus sup
piled by those mere "promises t.
pay?" How can those who maxi
the "promises" redeem them?
Il It is universally conceded that th
4 circulation of every country is heal
thy or unhealthy in proportion to it
supply Of this basis of circulation
",pecie" Our Banks accordingl,,
will be able and ready to resume spe
Gle payment, if the country is full O
specie, at a much earlier day, than
I lit is drained. And what is mucl
more important than all, we shall b
e saved from that horrible currenc,
$ which is now flooding other portion
of our government, in the shape Q
notes of less denomination than on
!, dollar, issuing from all sorts of soul
ces. a.
If then it be an evil to be avoided
to permit this section of country t
y be drained Of specie for the suppl
n of the border country of our govern
le ment, how much more strongly d
10 those claws of necessity" deiman
