FINANCIAL MATTERS

Mr. EDIToR:-A thought has occurred to me that
in the present crisis it would be well for our banks
to receive the bills of all legtimately chartered
banks at par. 1t is very evident that money will
be scarce, and if one bank in our own State shaves
the notes of another bank in the State how can we
hope to have our currency appreciated abroad Ny
own opinion is that any bill of legitimstey char
tered bank should pass without discount :;
as for any banks redeemng its issue in specie that
is and will be simply, impossible for many years.
Cannot the Legislature reach this matter by franz
ing act that the bills of all banks which have
been legimately chartered shall pass at par within
the Slater
Again. would it not be well for our Legislature to
repeal that feature in the charters at least of our
two leading banks, whereby their issue is restricted
to certain amount? The necessity for this may
not exist just YET but0t will exist if the war should
continue. p

them be of North-Carona Grey Cashmere. It's
advantages that it is cheap, that it will last WELL

northern make and very expensive If man ex-
poets to go into service there is no sense in his
wearing ballroom clothes, more than there is in
his going into pig-pen with them. We have no
money to spare to the North for her fine goods and

factories. The n. G. Cashmere makes a neat and
pretty suit and it seems to Inc man could fight

The PLAIN Duty OF THE LEGIsLATURE.-The Leg
islature meets on Wednesday next Its session
should be brief-its labors incessant-its speeches
few. The military organization of the State is the
most important matter which will engage the atten-
ton of members. We know we but echo the COM
mon sentiment of the people when we say that
nothing but honesty and capacity should be conSd-
cred in the appointment of the officers who to
command the troops of the State. This is no time
for the indulgence Of avoritism the promotion of
personal friends. Popularity is no recommendation
for military distnction-civi service ought not to
be a passport to military Office. Militia Captains,
even, are not all Napoleons. No man ought now to
be entrusted with responsible command unless he
is in every way qualified for the discharge Of the
duties which will devolve upon him. We may
have to engage Immediately in a long and bloody
war. We will almost certainly have to do some
fighting at once. If so, who wants 20 be led by an
officer in whom he place confidence, and
whose Incompetence may display itself at the most
critical period? Who would not infinitely prefer
fighting on his own hook ~ The loss of life Is
not the worst feature of a defeat The demoraliza-
tion and want of self confidence which it begets,
constitute its chief terrors Let us. then, have no
person in command of Regiments, Brigades or Di-
visions who will be likely to cause defeat or unne-
cessary loss of life or other criminal bunders Ev-
erybody knows that there never has been proper
military organization in North Carolina, any at
all, in fact With the exception of a few Volunteer
Companies, there has not been even the appearance
of such organization.
Gentlemen have been elected to the offices in the
militia in almost every instance purely upon their
personal popularity and without any regard what
ever to their publications. But the time for all this
has passed and therefore we were glad to see the
order of Gov. Ellis suspendng the elections We
want none but military men to hold the military
offices. The welfare of the State and of the people
demands this. Of course we do not mean to say
that none except those who have been in the regu-
lar service should hold any office, but we do say
that as far possible they ought to hold the more
important positions North Carolina has some dis
guished sons who were in the late United States
army She has some now in the army of the Con-
federate States. But if she did not have one We
think it would be the plain duty of the Legislature
to secure the services of competent from other
States. The President of the Confederate States
has kindly ordered some of his officers to posts in
North Carolina at the request Of Gov. Ellis. The
State of South Carolina has, We believe done the
same. If their services needed and it is consis
tent with their duty to their government, give them
commissions and let them remain. At any rate
and by all means let our boys have good officers
That is all they need. Give it to them and we will
stake them against the world Vii Herald.
