Not n few Of our Eastern exchanges arc
rendering their COMMUNICATION to the West,
in view Of The financial difficulties in which
the Western States-nlinois particularly
are involved No doubt our people are
grateful for this manifestation of eympe-
Thy; but We state only the naked
truth when We say that at this moment,
in Illinois, individual losses are not SO
much dep1ored as the manifest inability Of
nlino;sana, Houndering amid the fragments
Of banking system carried off by flood,
to aid the Government in its efforts to pre-
serve the Republic But while this is the
case, the indignation among all parties
against those who, By their criminal folly,
have caused sudden loss Of ten millions
OF dollars to'this State alone, IS daily rising.
The loss is borne with commendable phil
osoply and patience; but when the nj
tempt to subvert the Government IS super
added to the robbery Of money, eur people
feel That no retaliatory action can be too
sudden OF severa.

Il New Trouble In Georgia.

Governor Brown Of Georgia, has Issued
proclamation forbldding the military compa.
niea Of that State from carrying arms or ac'
coutrements Of any kind beyond the State
limits, without hls consent The. Savannah
RfpuNtcan comments upon this order as fol.
1uwB: ;
eWhether the Governor designs to refrse
Its conscnt in I'LL csses OF merely to require
TINT proper respect should be shown to him
by those companies which 1ea7c the State I'M,
der orders from the Confederate government
does not appear. In the former event the or
der is likely to produce no little confusion in
the movements Of our arnies. Tho Confeder;;
ate States have existed but for day, And ne
have no thought that they are prepared to
furnish arms, and In the time required, partIc.
ularly under aoythlng like an emergency.
They must then rely upon the several States,
and though some confusion may exist, owing,
| to the variety Of xrns In the service, It Will
| be far 1ees than that to be occasioned by the
presence Of troops In time Of battle without
AIMS OF arcoutremeuts At all.
"Qoyenor Brown may be technically right
in this order; but he has, Ut least, selected a.
unfortunate time for issuing 1t. From thu
beginning misunderstanding sasnss t6haue a.
fstal befsneen him dnd lts Con N}ederate astthori

| high time 1t had been brought to arclose. q

embarrassment In all our movements for do
fence, and If al1owed to continue, will wholly
demoraliZe the service"

Ranking on bad Securities.

The eri1 of Issue, whose issues are based on
state Indebtedness instead Of specle-.hc only
cafe bssis-has become very glar1ng by the
present condition Of the western currency.
Safe paper money ja only sure when it IL equal
to xspecie currency in the exchanges; aad for
this purpose, banks issuing bills should be re-
quIred to hold one third the amount in specie.
Why ahould bank credit be considered safe,
Nhen its security Is the indebtedness Of othess?
Credit on debt the very statement proves
its absurdlty, But III the case Of Illinois and
Wisconsin, banks, whose issuea were based on
the Indebtedness Of Southern States, the pE,c-
tical results have issued in heavy Losses. The
bills Of all these banks are deprecated 70 per
cent. The farmers refuse to sell their grain
ard Heur for 1t, and trade Is impeded; debts
rendered uneollectablc, and failures numerous
