discusses with much ability ard learning the institution
of Slavery in all Fits aspects well as the social political

From one in a situation TO be well informed we learn
thu. the financial condition of the Confederacy is far
bet e than we had supposed. The whole expenditure
of the Govern nan up this day, docs not exceed Oh
millions This docs include the expenditures by the
States and voluntary contributions. We also hear that
the authorizes feel no fear of being able to raise whatev-
er suus may be necessary for the public We are
glad TO hear this and il will b, resssuring to the c1un-
try.
We are welded to no scheme; but we would 10: have
the great cause in which embarked TO suffer from
contracted or rggardy policy. Our country possesses
the means If reduced to action, for wsgug with III
teuse yigor. The people are willing to mortgage all
they have if wisely employed for the public good They
desire TIA; all they have shall be used. They would
not psrpeSrate the folly Of the mser who dies Of
walton, while his house is fell Of gold.
Our impression is that the rate of expenditure
VII have to De greatly increased The voluntary
trbutious which have constituted small item cannot
be expected to contiaue We shall want ships, more
arms more ammunition, and all the provisions for tie
army will con md higher figure. No branch Of the
service should safer moment for the want Of money.
Oar apprehension has been aad is that loans and taxa.
ton will not supply efficiency to meet every dmane.
We have done our duty by elling the attention Of
the public and of the government to the sutjact II
the cause sr re for lack of means the fault will be
ours.

Toe AiephistOphiles of the Herald is INDUCING his
good nature by torturug his Yankee readers with the
prosps.: Of eay visit from tbs Confederate armies
He wiud5 up his DISCOURSE from considerations Of per-
sOna safety with sneering at the possibility Of such
thing but he took good care beforehand to suggest
GSc which rendered il not ouly possible, but probable
the Publications being Constructed along the line of the
Baltimore and Philadelphia RAilroad-the batteries of
Parrot guns Philadelphia all disclose the fears of the
Yankees sld shoW that they have had their thoughts
seriously turned 70 the subject They feel and know
their weakness. Fifteen thousand Eogrsimen Invaded
the Oriental China, containing three hundred mi
lion Of people, and found their PROCESS facilitated by
the density Of the popuaon similar state Of things
exists in our China Toe people thick to be in
anotherS way, aud they all the genuine Bull Bun
breed and the greatest difficulty will be to overtake them

perfectly. We hope TO supply incOntes;ibe proofs of
