FRENcH AssIGSATs.--In 1890 the French As
sembly pledged the public lands just as the In
dependent and Herald proposes for the payment
OF promisso.y Government notes, which were re-
ceiy able for all dues to the Government, and were
made by law legal payment for all debts. They
were called assgnats. In the spring of 1890 they
issued $50 900 GOO; in September of the same
year $3.50 100000. In June. 1890. they were de-
precated in price, and in June, 1871, were at a
discount of one-thrd. In September, 1892, the
issues were 6l0,000,000. In June, 1872, the
price had fallen to one third, and in August to
one sixth of the par. In January, 1896 the
amount in circulation was SO 900 100000.
Even after this date they issued $500 900 600
more of what they termed territorial mandates, .
which were to be exchanged directly for land, at
the option of the holders. on demand. The as
signats finally fell to one thousandth part OF their
par value. Specie had disappeared entirely from
sight in France, and SO continued until the aSsig
mats were swept away from use.
When the assignats were abolished, immense
boards of specie made their appearance from
hiding places, and money became plentiful, and
trade brisk and prosperous. During the whole OF
Napoleon's wars the specie standard OF the cur
rency always maintained.

From the Richmond Dispatch, Jan. 2.
The Rebels Prompting the Federal
Governments.


The developments of the last four weeks of the
war have been the most remarkable that have
occurred during its entire progress The begin
ming OF December saw the Yankees in full force,
apparently ready for decisive battle at all the i'm
portant points OF the frontier. On the Potomac
they had the best appointed army on the CONT
nent, stated lay their authorities to be two
hundred thousand strong. In Kentucky they had
massed together two immense forces, of thirty to
fifty thousand each, which menaeed Columbus
and Bowling Green, and all indications pointed to
an immediate advance upon our lines, at time
when we were weak and poorly able to Withstand
assault from heavy columns. Zollicoffer WAS
pressed before Cumberland Gap by force more
than double his own; Pound Gap was at the
mercy of Nelson, having only thousand men to
oppose against ten thousand ROsecrans was on
the Gauley with an army which he now cOneSses
to have been fifteen thousand strong, against
Floyd, having only twenty three hundred; Rey-
nolds was on Cheat Mountain with i've thousand,
opposed by johnson with only twelve or fourteen
hundred and Sherman had succeeded in landing
fifteen or twenty thousand men at Beaufort, while
we had in that region at the time but few
thousand forces, little better than militia, poorly
provided with arms and ammunition And, TO
crown all the splendid weather invited them to
the charge.
Then was presented the golden opportunity TO
strike every OF these points Bold, Ell
fective blows. stricken then simultaneously by all
their armies could not have failed TO crush our
strength in several quarters, and put gloomy
face upon our affairs. Success at Columbus and
Bowling Green would have been almost annhi-
lating TO our forces in the West. Success at
Cumberland and Pound Gaps would have cut our
connections with Tennessee aud Kentucky ire
trevably. Success in capturing army the
Kanawha would have laid open all middle West
ern Virginia next spring to the easy invasion of
the enemy A vigorous push from Beaufort upon
the Charleston and Savannah railroad would have
separated those two cities, and cut our army OF

which declared the following sentiments:

that this is not waged upon our part IN any
