WHAT A PIrY.-One of the writers for
the Journal, in its last issue-one we pre-.
,ume who had recently been east OF the
fountains says, at is annoying for any
os our loyal citizens, travelling abroad, to
have copy Of the CloarfeM RepnJtcm
tuck under their nose" dc.
We pity the poor creature, and suggest
That he had better net venture abroad
again.
But The writer speaks of "our loyal cit.
lens" The inference is plain that there
are citizens who are not "loyal," Now we
have only to say, that the editors, publish.
crs and writers connected with the Jo,o-
,al, if they possess the spirit of men, will
ether POINT OUT, NAME and PROVE
TO BE GUILTY, those of our Cit
jzens who are not loyal or else, by their
silence, confess that they are the PUBLIC
SLANDERERS of the community from
whom they get their bread.

TnE MrssAGE,--A large portion Of our paper
, taken up with the Presidents message to tho
l,xtra Session Of Congress.
Il is cmimed as tho production Of Mr. Lincoln
mselr and that he did not pcrmi any member
f his Cabinet to assist him in any part OF 1t
Aftor porusing it, many Of our readers will doubt
less think that "sclf-rospect' will prompt these
Gentlemen to take special pains to have this fact
universally circulated
1t is fair to state, however, that we copy from
ine Pittsburg Post, to which paper it was trans
mitted by telegraph, and in the hurry Of despatch
ing and putting in type many errors may have
thus occurred But this would IOt account for
many Of its defects as State paper emanating
from the Executive of the United States.
We are far from wishing to find fault with il.
Would that we could endorse its every sentence.
Uut we feel ncl ned to forgive all his errors, even
that of claiming for the Executive the right to
do any thing that Congress is required to do, and
r,r failing, 10 this message, to denounco in ad-
van q, any measure Of Compromise that may be
lyoposcd but on the contrary, and as if he had a
lingering hope that our sore troubles might pos
IDLY be terminated by compromise-as II he
ould not close this document otherwisc-or rs If
rr fear that Others might forget 1t, he mentions
the good word.
With our heart of hearts, We thank him for it,

The Peninlula.

Yesterday and the day before very lively state oil
feeling prevailed in this city, arising from intelligence
more or less authentic that something like general en-.
gagemsnt had been commenced in the nsghborhood Of
yorktown. The prevailing rumors received something
like confirmation from the following dispatch received at
the AdjutAnt Generals Office, evening before last
yorktown, Va. Oct u, 1861.
To General Cooper:
SIR:-A part Of General hcLlws' force is now en-
gagged with the enemy, in front Of bis command at
Young's Mill. Respectfully, your obeo't servt,
]. B. HAGRUDER,
MsjorGsnera Commanding
No additional intelligence was received far We
could Learn, at the War Office yesterday although ID
pa cbes relating to other matters were transmitted from
Gen. Magrudsr. The inference Is that the importance
of the affair was overestimated.

Military Congressmrs.

We noticed the other day, that's Colonel Of Regi-
meat had been formally called upon BY bis command TO
announce himself Candidate for Congress- With pledge
on the part Of hosp sho called him. to insure his cleo
ton He may be ct and proper person for the position
or that we know and say nothing But the precedtn'
IA bad Il calculated ruin the discipline Of the
army, and to convert Republic into military des-
potsm. These are sufficient grounds for its c,ndemDa
ton No free people surrendered their Govern
ucnt to the military without the loss Of liberty. The
Roman Republic while it existed, permitted no G,nera
TO be candidate for the OOnsnshp until he had laid aside
hs military robes and it not until that principle
departed FROM that the public liberty subverted.
Enpsnd in the time Of the Great Rebellion, after estab
fishing free Government, saw it subvered by the mill
t,ry In our own Revolution, the civil and the military
we're kept entirely distinct and the latter wholly suooi'
dioa,e to the former The idea OF blending the two Was
not dreamed OF by the wise ard patriotic who had
in charge our infant Republic.
If wc had no men capable OF the legislation Of the
country outside of the military, there might be some
shadow of excuse for appealing Generals and Colonies
Bu there is no such scarcity There is abundance
of able Statesmen in the land Besd's there Ia An In
compatibility in the functions. The commander, Who
does bis 6uy the fd has no time to devote to legis.
lation The welfare OF the mon under hiscommand and
the safety of the State demand all his thougbts If be

enough to his country Bat until that service render
ed, be has no right to claim reward nor to have
duties imposed upon him. If he has soughta position
in the army merely Stepping stone to seat in Cor
gress that fact is conclusive that he is fl neither for the
army nor the Legislature.
We are aware, that in urging this objection il msy
exclude gentlemen, whom other ~ise we should be glad
to see 10 Congress But we conceive that grave and
important prir cpe Is invoysdihe observance Of viii
Ia of much giea'er moment to the Republic than the

The Currency QUESTION.

rs conceded that more currency is necessary to meet
the wants OF the community The question, and very i'm
portant one arises by whom sha tina: currency be is
sued By the Confederate Government by the States
or by the Banks The latter is supported bya very
large interes-sl who hold stock in the existing banks
aud is in our ldgmen, by far the most Questionable
scheme proposed These institutions are now enjoying
great privilege, in being permitted to Issue paper NOR
ey irredeemabe in specie There 10 neither Justice nor
safety u the rest Of the community In doubling that
privilege By allowing them to double quadruple their
issue without " additional security. The privilege OF
issuing 800 600 600 of bank notes Is worth to the ssu.
ers at the lowest fyure six millions OF dollars. This
profit and more the Banks already reap What justice
Is there in authorizing them to quadrupe that profit at
the expense of the people, The Confederate Govern
uent or the States, making the issue their own re-
spousbiity, would six millions on every hundred
millions Of currency 10 the Taxpayers. And what will
the currency be worth when the war is over, il the
Banks are allowed to Issue ten twenty or thirty for
one Of their capital What crash What ruin TO
the whole country must follow
We conceive that the Banks are Sufficiently favored
at present in being permitted to issue three or four times
their capital stock without being required to redeem
their issues 10 specie. Unless the principle Of gFsasng
the fat SOW Is TO prevail there is no proprey in gorgng
those who are already full TO overlooking.
IL tine Confederate Government Is not willing to buy
the cotton and tobacco crops, insured by the planter
the insurance TO constitute part of the price and to
issue treasury notes that amount favor the propo
siton that each State shall act that principle within
its own limits Let Virginia for example, agree to give
is treasury notes to any planter for the policy on bis to-
bacco or -four, and let other States do likewise. This
scheme If not as good in respects as carried out
BY the Confederscy has the advantage Of being free
from the objection of augmentiug the Confederate pat
rousge. But the currency will be good-it will rest
upon real tangible vaue-a great Object and IL will
save the Taxpayers many millions another great object
