WISCONSIN CURRENCY.

During the past ten days repeated in
quiries have leen made Of Us, by parties
living in Iowa, Wisconsin and Northern
Illinois, whether OF not it was safe to sell
produce for Wisconsin currency. In an
fnswcr to these inquiries, AID also for the
general information Of our readers, We ap-
pend list Of the Banks Of Wisconsin now
received by the bankers ut Milwaukee,
will the circulation Of each, and the value
per dollar Of the bills, according to the
market price Of the securities in the hands
of the coli ptroller Of the State On the 20th
Of Mny. By reference to this list, it will
be seen that the value Of the currency gen
orally ranges from 81 to 85c. on the dollar.
There are few banks ranging from 90c- to
100, but these, it Will be seen, are Of lin
tied circulation, and we understand their
Issues rnrcly if ever see daylight Few, if
any Of the Banks redeem their issues in
coin or exchange, and in this respect they
are no better than the Illinois bank bills
now known as stump-tai1, and hawked
about our streets at or about their real
TaIue.
Such, therefore, being the case, there is
no reason on earth why Wisconsin cur
rency should not share the same fate as
1hat Of Illinois. Both are frauds on the
community, and were gotten up by heart
less spectators, without the remotest in
teution that they would ever redeem
dollar Of the stuG-and ouradrice to all il,
to lake it only at its real zaIue.
Il may be sid that If the people have
confidence in it, tie currency will continue
"to go;" but SO far Us the Northwest is
ceuce1ncd, this "confdence game" is
"p1Aycd out" It was tried here t7 almost
oyery merchant and banker in the State
agreements, contracts, and compromises,
things were tried-but in vain Wafer will
find its level, as did Illinois currency; and
tie Same inexornble law will work out its
results in regard TO that of Wisconsin. At
present, in view Of the scarcity Of good
currency, the bankers Of Wisconsin are
moving heaven and earth to get their cir
culation into the hands Of the people; but
it is uphill work. Tie people Of Illinois
rcpudiaie ii, and sell only for gold; and
their ucighbors Of Wisconsin, Iowa, and
Minnesota are getting hungry for some
thing that is worth one hundred cents on
The dollar: Produce brings gold in every
market Of the world, and there is no rea-
son why the farmers Of the Northwest
should continue to take paper money
worth only from fifty to seventy cents On
The dollar.

times Of emergency, was by it considered
Us sacred as tho law Of the land.

Us sacred as Inc laW o1 tile land.
During the " Whisky Instruction" in
11e4 and '95, Gen John Hamilton, then
man Of distinction, and afterwards mem
ber Of Congress, was arrested and confined
in prison more than three months; yet,
during all that time, obedience to the writ
was refused. The arrest and subsequent
Incarceration were solely by military au-
thority. But, though the man was inno-
cent, no one thought Of making Lis case
hosuhjcct Of loud complaint As some
times happens between the citizen and the
State, he suffered because circumstances
beyond his control conspired against him.
We cited the case Of Gen. Jackson, yes
tcrday. He set aside the habeas corpus
twice-once against the authority Of Judge
Hall in Louisiana; and subsequently
against the authority Of Judge Fromentin
in Florida. The decision and energy dis
played by the old chief on these occasions,
and the acts themselves, have been the
subjects Of great praise by ell his
friends; and we have yet to know
that, as civilian or commander, he ever
acknowledged that lie had violated the
Constitution which lie had sworn to de-
fend. But, as the Times has no admiration
Of the Jacksoninn policy, in rebellion
against the authority Of the laws, we may
may pardon it'll it cannot commend lis
acts. Its murmurs arc consistent with its
anteccdents and secret hopes.
The four cases that VIC have cited, and
the comment that they provoked from
jurists and statesmen at the time they oc-
CURED, would completely justify Gov. Cad
wallader in the policy that he has pursued,
were not the situation itself in which he
is placed the only justification which his
countrymcn will desire. We commend
the Times to the study of the history o1
the subject It Will find that what Jeffcr.
son approved and jackson practiced, can
not be fur wrong, even though it should
hang half the traitors Of Virginia, those
who emigrated to Chicago, Us well as thost
who remain at home.

The little affair at Fairfax Court House,
Tirginia, yesterday, wherein troop Of
eighty dragons had.a brush with fifteen
hundred Of the ardent sous Of the chival-
rcus South, is probably Of no great consc-
qucncc in the present operations but for
the rebels it mas that significance that even
the most rampant, fool-hardy and drunken
Of the Let cannot overlook. It will teach
them their boosting Of their own prowess,
md the Forthcoming Of the Government
forces, or as they delight to call them, the
s.minion hirelinggs' of Lincoln, Is fatal
mistake which no amount Of lying can un-
d.. The swashbucklers who hare enlist
