When the governments Of the Coufed
eracv, and Of the States. shall have provi
ded certain and appreciable currency,
for the people; and appropriated all the
real money, or coin, now trembling in the
banks, for their external transactions; !;
there car be no want Of means, for the
public exigencies; as long as there are
fighting mer, or materials Of war in any
portion Of our extensive domains. There
is a substantial abundance, independent
of the delusions Of the borrowing system,
and speculatious upon credit. This
currency, representing real value, will
serve as the grade of expenditure and it
may be hoped that the attention Of the
people, and Of their rulers will be attract.

BILE in the future.
The divine admouition that Sufficient
for the day is the evil thereof" has no
better illustration, or Clearer evidence,
than our experience Of that vain wealth,
which rests on the imaginations Of the
impenstrabIe future. When the people
Of the South, in the cause Of their ipde.
pendence, are using what they have, ra,h.
er than trusting to their credit, their con.
trbu,ons will be given with more earn,
estnessi and the appropriations Of govern.
ment will probably be more judicious-;
Necessity will be acknowledged, and its
teachings .respected.- However stern
her lessons, they will be learned; and a
more cautious and inventive epergy.be
; generated, ,'than n her visage be yelled,
and her frowns resented.
When every dollar in circulation rep
resen,s something real. which has been
actually taken from the wealth of the
people, whether it be the blood Of the
soldier. the corn Of the farmer, the skill
Of the mechanic, or the talents OF The
statesman or genersl--it will speak
language OF justice, prudence, and self
denial, which must be heard, and needed,
by all classes from the President at
Richmond. to the groom Of his stable
1t will be understood, and the sooner the
better. that the war has swept away most
OF the artificial distinctions of peaceful
life;-,hat when every thing which every
man has, depends on the result of that
war, the war itself, imperiousIy, tsltts all,
that every one has, whether little or much;
except the means Of support. IL the peo.
pie realize that the life of the State is en-.
dangered, they will, every one, 10 his own
sphere, also realize the necessity Of sacri.
ficing every thing to save that public life,
as he would not hesitate to do, to save
his own.
There can be no question that llis war
insists on the employment of every CHI.

Of social life are subservient. To a great

We arc happy to announce the arrival, by
the steamship Arahia, from Europe, of Prof.
Alexander Woiowsla The renowned pianist and
composer. Prof. Wolowski left Washington six
weeks ago TO visit tue London Exhibition. Ho
has performed thero on Steinwxy & sons
splendid American and Erard's grand French
piano fortes, with immense success. Professor
Wolowski was constantly surrounded with nu.
merous crowds Of every patton and cline, and
the London press speak inmost fattering terms
OF his performance and the beautiful instru.
ments on which ho has played. Tho general
opinion is that Steinway X Sons. of New York,
will get the first prize for their excellent pianos,
which will add ono more laurel to their we'll
established reputation.
Prof. wolowski kept his promise to his nu.
merous friands and pupils. to return In six
weeks, and he opens u new course of Lessons in
piano and singing. All those who desire TO be-
come, In short time, fine singers or excellent
performers, can't do better than to follow Prof,
Wolowski's new and smplihed system, which
is already proved among us by the astonishing
progress his numerous pupils made. We do
not doubt Of hs complete success, NJ he is
great favorite among our most musical and in.
huential families. Prof. Wolowskis residence
