Bothered Entirely.

The North american, the leading CONNER
cial journal of Philadelphia, which from the
start has favored Secretary Chase's money
scheme, is guilty of the following precious
piece of wisdom;
"The imitation of the value of specie Is
reaching such point as to demand some ac-
tive measures to provide remedy. Everybody
is cramped so much for small change as to be
bothered on al occasions to transact the ordi-
nary purchases of everyday life. The move
ment appears to be a steadily progressive one.
Gold as first driven out of circulation by the
premium on it; then silver get into demand,
grew scarce, and went up until it disappeared
from common use, as far as possible, and now
even nickels are held st premium, as though
some new and extraordinary value had been
found in them. What causes this premium
on nickels ? They are not exported. They
are only of use at home They are not valued
for boarding. And yet the panic-mongers
have driven them up TO three or four per cent.

or ridiculous imitation than this, and yet what
can we do to put stop to it y
Who ever saw "infated7 gold or nickel
The thing is preposterous. A Philadelphia
editor, if not q lawyer, ought to understand
that gold and silver are the standard of values
the world over, and that~when men say they
are at premium, they mean that currency is
AT discount. eEf fa Hn# 5e-f
But continues this befogged Journalist;
"If the export of specie furnishes any ground
for this panic, let the Government either pro-
hibit entirely all expectation of specie, or lay
such an export duty on specie as will efectual-
ly check the movement"
In this recommendation the North american
is of course not aware that it is proposing ma
tional reputation of our debts in its most Of
fensive form; yet such is the fact. The pre-
cious metals are the only currency known be-
tween nations, and to prohibit their export is

The system of guerrilla warfare now being
prosecuted by some troops organized under
authority of the so-called Southern Confed-
eracy, and others without such authority,
being so pernicious to the welfare of the
community where it is carried on, and il De-
ing within the power of the community TO
suppress this system, it is ordered that wher-
ever loss is sustained by the Government,
collections shall be made, by seizure of a
sufficient amount of personals property, from
persons in the immediate neighborhood sym
psthizing with the rebellion, to remunerate
the Government for all loss and expense of
ton.
Persons acting guerrillas without organi-
cation, and without uniform to distinguish
them from private eitizeLs, are not entitled to
the treatment of prisoners of war when
caught, and will not receive such treatment.
