Our Finances.

The present unparalleled state OF our
national affairs can scarcely fail of pro-
ducing important changes in the finances
Of the country. II is estimated that the
merchants Of New York City alone will
lose, for the present at least, from debtors
in the Southern States, no less than two
millions Of dollars. The blockade and tn
consequent interruption Of commerce with
the South will effect to no inconsiderable
extent our cotton and other manufactures.
Failures are constantly occurring, not only
Of those who have been directly engaged
In Southern trade, but also Of those whose
business connections have involved them
ia the misiortunes of the former. Fail
ures arising from these causes will I'M
doubtedly continue for some time; and in
viow, &c thesr we trnst Cone~a~- a. lie
next session will provide some bankruptcy
law suited to the emergency. Such law
would, in our view, be eminently just.
These mercantile misGorlunes arose from
causes entirely unexpected, and il would
be no more thar right 10 afford to those
merchants whose business and property
has fallen beneath the present crisis, an
opportunity of starting anew, free from
those liabilities which no negligence of
their own has imposed upon them.
We may expect as a necessary result OF
the present state Of affairs, gradual rise
in the price not only of cotton and other
Southern goods, but of all other commodi-
ties. This effect win be produced by the
abundance Of money which the expenses
Of the War Department win draw from
the State and national treasures, The
abundance of money will tend not only TO
raise the price of goods, but also the price
Of labor; while the scarcity Of labor pro-
duced by the eaiistments, will tend to the
same result.
War at all times requires great outlays,
and the present contest Is quite likely TO
draw deeply upon the resources Of our
people,
The State taxes viii be increased at a
large figure, while the vast expenditures
Of the Government must be met either by
direct taxation, or. il by loan, by drawing
funds from capitalists, which would other
wise be usel in the business Of the coun-
try.
In view Of these circumstances the true
course i evident. We must practice econ
omy-not only in producing but in ex-
pending capital. We must work more
hours and sleep less we must eschew
all unnecessary Injuries we must draw
less inspiration from the fragrant havana /;
We must make less frequent visits 10 the
cupboard we must cdase to pay taxes 10
eur vanity; in short, our finances must be
conducted with such prudence as is be-
coming a sober and intelligent people, en-
gagged in great con,es, whose issues are
universal and transcendan,

The 6 Straights.''

The result of the election in Pierce and
st. Croix Counties is gorious-exceed-
ing the expectation Of the most sanguine.
The little squads of distempered poll
ticians who opposed the Union move
ment, and got up sort of after union
of warning and incongrous clements
nameless' nondescript concern, with no
avowed parentage, and scarcely any res
pectable connections except S. H.CLoUGH
and JOSEPH BowRoN-a Union party
whose connecting tie was common oppo-
sition to those who had conscientiously
gone into the Union movement--this
fungas-Iatest born and earliest buried
of our local parties, some of whose men,
hers arc good fellows, only temporarily
erring, and others of whom have long
been soured past all chance Of sweetening
this hodgo-podgo connection which so
violently brewed in the political cauldron
has been efectually "simmered down."
and cleaned out"
The figures talk. They are more elo-
quent than rhetoric. Gents! you who
stood so severely straight-who were so
conscientiously Republican, SO devotedly
Democratic, and who finally rushed into
the heterogeneous conglomeration of the
What is it "party, how do you feel
now? Most of you, we rejoice to say,
live up in ST Croix County. Be honest
now, don't you see in the light Of the
election returns, that you made GORGEOUS
fathers Of mules-of yourselves. We
thought of remarking as much to you
during the campaign, but yon would not
believe it then. Adversely is great
teacher. We believe you have mainly
been erring rather than vicious. After
all your foIlies and faults, we should not
be ashamed to promenade Second Street
with you, or take oysters and cigars at
your expense.
A closing word. Boys, come Eome
before it is dark. The Union wigwam
is large enough for You all, the Stars and

Thanksgiving.

Thursday of next week is the day set
apart by the Governors Proclamation as
" Thanksgiving Day." We hope it may
be generally and devotedly Observed
Let us be thankful for the material blcs-
sings which we enjoy-for the Plenty
that crowns our boards-for the Peace
which smiles upon our State, and while
many hearts will be sad, and many eyes
grow dim at the thought of loved ones
far away, clad in the trappings, and
meeting the stern realitis Of war, let them
be thankful that the old heroic spirit is
not dead-that our Republican Govern
ment in its gravest perl, is shielded by
the brave and true, and that they have
the high honor to sacrifice in her behalf
1t seems as If there was Providence
in the fact that just before the time when
an honored custom bids the whole peo-
pie bow in grateful worship to the Ruler
of all, that Law, and Order, and Free
dom have gained n signal victory, and
the State most stained with the stigma
and crime of revolt, is echoing TO the
tread Of our victorious srmies,-that the
STARRY BANNER waves again in the pol
luted air of the Palmetto State-the har-
binger of a better ciyilization-the dawn
of brighter day.
III the language of Holy Writ, Let
us rejoice and be glad Let US brighten
~ our faces, eat the accustomed sumptu-
GUS dinner, give apples aad candy to the
children, and have good time general
ly, but underneath all our good feeling
and gratitude, let us cherish the conyic-
ton that as people we have stern work
to do. and cultivate the disposition to 90
lido it effectualiy, with remembrance
of the glory of the past, and faith in the
grandeur which the future is waiting to
Uestow.

Capture of Mason and Slideih.

Probably no single event of the war
will be welcomed with greater satisfac-
ton, by all union-loVing citizens, than the
capture of Mason and Slidell, the would
be Z. S. A. Ambassadors to Queen Vic
toria and Louis Napoleon. They had
succeeded in running the blockade, and
| at Hawai- M we're transferred to the En-
glish mail steamer Trent, hoping that the
red cross of St. George would ensure
them a safe and speedy passage across
the Atlantic. But they were doomed to
disappointment, for off the Bahamas a
shot across the bows from the frigate
San Jacinto brought them to. The yes
sci was boarded by Lieut.. Fairfax with
forty men. and Messrs. Mason and Sill
dell, with all their papers and documents
were taken of, Notwithstanding the pro-
test of the English captain. Their fami-
lies were allowed to proceed, while they
were delivered to the care of Gen. Wool,
ut Fortress Monroe.
The securing of these dangerous men
is no small achievement, and will have
an important bearing on the events of
the coming winter. Sidell, by his we'll
known intriguing powers, his great
wealth. his familiar acquaintance with
French customs and language, his deadly
hate of free institutions, and his personal
connections, would do us great damage
at the French Court. Mason, though
not possessing the ability of his colleague,
as Chairman of the Committee of For
eirn Affairs of the Senate for number
of years, is intimately acquainted with
our relations to the various European
powers.
Commander Wilkes acted upon his
own responsibility in this affair, and it is
to be hoped that he will receive suita-
BILE acknowledgement from headquarters
for his services.

Any important move of the regiment

Yours truly.

M. A. Dreibelbis, of Prescott, has re-
ceived commission as recruiting officer
for company of cavalry, to go into Col.
Washburne's regiment. 1t is desired to
raise a company in the st. Croix Valley.
Twenty enlistments have already been
made, and only seventy men are needed.
Horses are furnished by Government, or
if furnished by individuals are paid for.
When the company is full it will elect its
officers. We should be pleased to see q
good cavalry company from this section
of the State. We are assured that n
company can be raised if St. Croix Co.
will furnish twenty men. We are conf
dent she can do this. A recruiting of
fee will be established here in few days.
Any desired information in regard to this
company can be obtained at this office
Hudson Times.
