Hard Times.

4 That there is throughout the country 1
general depression and want Of confdenc,
N business matters Is too apparent Tie
banks and financial institutions of the
I Western States were based in great
measure upon State stocks. Tie great
depreciation in these stocks, particularly
/ of the seeded states has effected western
currency and finance most disastrousIy.-
The great business and manufacturing
centres Of the east have suffered seriously
from the reputation of southern debts !;
and TO these causes may be added the loss
OF southern trade, more general habits of
economy among all classes, and tie neces-
sary influence of our national difficulties
upon the enterprise and projects of our
bushes men,
Yet we doubt if in fact our financial
troubles are by much so serious as at first
view might be supposed. We have no
great balance of trade in Europe against
US as in 1857. The crops of the last and
the present year were never more abund-
ant. Our y'S4se~rontain more specie than
ever before.
Our financial troubles it appears 10 us
can in great measure be tracei to our
transition from state of peace to n state
OF war; 1t is not so much want OF, as a .
revolution and commotion among the re-
sources and business Of the country.
Although we may not Of course expect
full return Of business prosperity so long
IS the war continues, yet we may, it APP
bears TO US, look for decided improve
nent IN business at an early period. The
temporary financial disturbances will grad
lally subsidc; the country will adapt IL
ell TO the exigenees Of the day. The
sums which must necessarily be
sed by the government, are only 10 a trih-
ng extent TO be expended abroad, but are TO
G paid out at home, where they will give
ew impulse to our trade. That it is pos
lble with proper management for the gov
rnment to maintain an army OF five hun :
red thousand men for ye;ns We fully be-
eve. Private frugality and generosity I
ward the nation must now he practiced /
lroughout the republic.
Not only the lives but the fortunes of ,
ir fathers were freely given to secuye our 4
ltional existence. In the most abiect
