VERY OBLIGING.-A tradesman was wait

male, whom he politely addressed, and de,
sired to know what commands she wished to

financial value fo1make them the basis of the
kbest currency in the world, refase to profit
by them.
The Richmond Wing of Oct. Path discuss
ing Memminger's financial circular, gives
| this sorry picture of the condition OF the
South:
We believe that the cotton and tobacco
crops, in the hands of wise, energetic and
enterprising Government, would, iu spite Of
the blockade and war, be sources Of bound
less credit and irresistible strength. Those
articles are in demand all over the civilized
world. Suppose our Government, six
months ago, had in warehouse and insured
| 5000, 200, 900 worth of tobacco and cotton,
borght at eight and ten cents, they could,
| by proper energy, have had credit to that
amount in London, and our coast might at
this moment pc thoroughly guarded by steel
plated steamers. The same result. by the
same means, might still be effected, perhaps,
in time to anticipate the inroads which the
enemy meditateagainst us. We know they
are making immense preparations to burn
our cities and ravage our river shores by
means of iron -cased vessels and vet, SO FIR
as we advised, our authorities are making
no preparations to meet them. 1t will be a
poor boast for Memminger that he has ex-
pended but fifty millions, if, for the want of
few additional millions, our cities are de-
stroyed and our land desolated Memminger
suggests as serious objections, the possession,
transportation and management Of the crops
by the Government We do not understand
that the scheme proposes to throw these Ia
bors on the Government. Let the crops be
sent to warehouses and insured by the plan
ter for twelve months, the certificate of the
inspector and the policy of insurance to be
forwarded to the Treasury Department. A
few additional clerks to register these would
be the only increase of patronage involved in
the proceeding. Even if five hundred agents
were required, the scheme would be less OBJ
noxious than that wbieh has sent forth five or
six thousand collectors and assessors in quest
OF petty tax which may serve little other
end than to reimburse the officers and to har-
ass the people. Virginia though interested
IN this scheme, is to less amount than the
States to the south of US. The cotton States,
which produce but a single crop, are reduced
to very painful condition They cannot
sell their cotton-they are not even permitted
to deliver it in readiness for sale. The con-
sequence is that they will, for the means of
subsistence, be at the mercy of the usurers.
If this were all they, as well as we, would
make a shift to weather the storm but the
safety of the republic is at stake The Sec
retary's policy is playing into the hands of
enemy, and aggravatlng the evils of the
blockade, which, under wiser dispensatior,
instead of evils, would be blessings

4 Crlmean Episode.


The following beautiful poem, written BY Bayar,
Taylor we consider to be Of the prettiest piece
Of poetry in the English language:
"Give usA song - the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches gucrding.
When the heated guns in tho camp allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scof,
Lay grim and threatening under.
And the tawny mound of Malakof
No longer bclched its thunder.
"Give US a song p the guardsnan said,
1--WE STERN the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
viii bring enough of sorrow."
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts from Severn and the Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of Iove and not of fame,
Forgot was Britain's glory
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like anthem rich and strong,
Their battle eve confession.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunset embers;
And the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again the fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters
With screams of shot, and burst of shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Norah's eyes are dim,
For singer dumb and CORY,
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie
Ah soldier to your honored rest,
Your love and glory bearing
The bravest the tenderest
The loving are the daring.
