Why IL Gen. Wool not Empleyeda
The Troy Daily IFhi1 pertinentlv asks.

WY Is not the large experience and con-
cedsd military skill that Gen. Taylor found 30
available at Buera Vista, not called into active
service By the President and Secretary Of War:
Why is it taat cur gallant volunteers ara mus
tered under the command OF Major Gcuera1s,
whose conduct upon the field is yet to be tried.
while our own State, with Its numerous resi.
ments, and tried and experienced soldier,
(Gtn- Wool worthy to lead them, is not hoa-
o1ed with separate command upon the field.
We zee him with the undiminished int teliect
Ct his best years, and With the frm and elastic
step, OF vigorous if not robust health, daily
moving among ue, and knowing, a. We do. his
readfness and willingness to engage actively
in the cause Of thst Government which he has
60 long and SO faithfully served, We can but
wonder at and vaguely conjecture the cause Of
that strange oversight, which thus allows the
largest experience and the highest military
tklll t. remain in comparative fnactiyity, at !
crisis when the country demands Just lie Kind
Of services which such experience and skill
can render. Recent events have made too
plainly apparent the necessity of services like

ILLINOIS CREDIT AND ILLINOIS
CBHRENCY.

The New York Post remarks, in connec~
ton With Treasurer Buffers payment Of
the July interest on Illinois bonds, that it
Is vay singular that State having 50
sound financial system, and doing busi-
ness strictly on the sub-trcasury plan,
should hare so reckless and pernicious q
currency. This observation, which Is but
reflex Of opinion in Wall Street. explains
1t once tie hesitancy which has becf felt
from the beginning, to take the $1,000, 900
WIT 10. n advertised by the State officers
Can State, which tolerates currency 50
rotten that il Will not hold together four
years cousecutively, be relied upon
TO psy either the principal or the
INTEREST," Is a State, which has just lost
from three to five millions of dollars in
wild cats, fit to be trusted with good
money! Do not the Western States gen
eral@y receive shinplasters for taxes?
These and other questions Of like import,
l,ropopnded without the clearest knowl-
edge Of the facts in the case, hare un-
dsubtedly had very damaging effect on
the market.
But for the collapse Of our hateful cur
reucy Illinois would not be under the ne
.cesaity of applying for a dollar in Wall
street, and but for the same fact her bonds
would command par on any stock ex-
change in Christendom. Not paper dol
lar ever goes into the State treasury; not
u bill eyer passes the Legislature proyid-
ing for additional debt without providing
an additional tax to meet it. The t'kitinen
system Was long ago tried and discarded,
snd no sane man in Illinois ever thinks Of
reeo1ting to it again. Reputation is known
here only to be abhorred. Indeed, the
sole fact initiating against our credit
abrosd CT our prosperity at home is the
