AN OLD NEwsRAPER.-The Chillicothe Ga

size of half sheet of writing paper, and ex-
cept in the color of the paper, which is light
brown, will compare favorably in typographical
appearance with many journals of the present

ports the "number OF burials in the town of

=, Z. Ns,v plan for a national Paper
--D -' V7 CURRENCY. . ~.

H
Many perplexiug problems demanding al
most ins.ant solution, have grown out Oh our
uraaent civil war. Not the least intricate OF
these is this-How shall the Government meet
the debt Il has already. cseated and provide Tor
future exigencissl This question oyertOpS all
others except, perhaps. thatin regard to slavery
and may be said to be Of equal Importance
with even that. This financial question Is
pressing, and must be met and sstsled''n some
way, during the war. Its discussion cannot
with any sort Of regard to our national and IN
diyidual welfare, be postponed TIL peace Is re-
stored. hV
MANY of our readers have doubtless BY thlf
dina become familiar with Secretary CHAsE'f
scheme for furnishing the people with paper
currency on the credit Of the Government, Oh
in other words, establishing National rGoV'
srnment Bank upon the basis OF Nationa
Debt. The clearest exposition and the aoieS'
defense of this plan we have yet seen IS con
tained in recent communication to the Nal'o"
al Intelliqencsr. Without committing ourselves
to any Of its positions, wa have copied this a u
cle in order that our readers may have tne oene'
at of the strongest arguments in favor OF M'
CHAsr's proposition, and be better prepared u
understand and appreciate future discussions OF
the same subject. 1t should be carefully reso
and preserved for future reference and exam
nation.
The Iatelliqeneer, 10 introducing the commu'
u;ca,ion alluded to, to its readere, says that II
uroceeds "from the pen of an experienced
banker" 1t certainly bears intrinsic evidence
that sucb is its paternity. But we have mol
space for any extended observations OF our OWE
upon the proposed financial plan We can only
barely allude to one point made by the IHleH'
oene,y and also by its correspondent. The
former says that with its established conVic'
,iors in favor of National Bank, go nom'0e
o,. nv that name, it is prepared; in default oi
such a needlul institution, to give favorable
hearing to every we'll considered scheme which
proposes to furnish substitute for that deslrA
BILE, and, as it has long held, necessary hsca
AGENT for the safe conduct Of large financial
opera ations, whether arising under the laws 0'
trade or created by the extraordinary exigen
cies of the Government" 1t regards Mr.
CHAsE's scheme as Offering the leading ad
ysutAges formerly contemplated by the adVo
Gates of a United States Bank"
The correspondent puts in asimilar claim ioi
Mr.. CHlsE's financial project. But the cores
uondent goes a step further, and draws from the
funding Of the National Debt of England the
principal of which can never be paid an argu'
mept In favor of funding like permanent Ma
tiOpal Debt in this country, aud making 1t the
basis of a Government Bank, which shall iur'
nish all the paper or bank currency needed
The new and strong Government, which is IN IN
contemplation, and may become inevitable IL
csrtaip measures are carried out can then be
established and be modelled in good degree
after that Of Great Britain.

1t appears the stone feet Of old whalers has
not met with very good success in closing the
mouth of the Savannah river. Several vessels
have been beached at Tybee Island. A Hilton
Head letter OF Dec. 18th, states that the agents
Of the Government finding the vessels practic'
ally useless for the purpose designed, sunk three
of the vessels together near Tybee Island, with
the intention of making wharf out ot them
from the landing on tho island. When sunk
they formed mere breakWater, and will have
TO be surrounded with piles to make even safe
wharf. Two others are to be sunk near Hilton
Head for the same purpose, and the crib-wharf
extended to them. SO far the landing has been

B The Chicago Journal ssys; Capt. Por-
ter, Assistant Qusrtermaster, yesterday opened
the bids for furnishing thousand horses for
Daniels Cavalry regiment at Kenosha. There
we're large number of bids, ranging as high as
$lI0. Most of them we're offered to take the
contract at $95. The bid of q. G Sherman,
for $94 IS, was found to be the lowest, ana the
contract was let accordingly.
|. If horses can be furnished for $S4 IS, why
10 the world does the Government allow its
agents here and elsewhere to pay as high as
sos to $ll02
The answer is plain. That would not allow
some pet Republican wide awake to make his
ten thousand dollars.
