latter have proposed through Special Commit
tee a scheme OF finance which neither finds favor
with Mr.. Chase nor with the Congressional Com
m'ttec. The probable consequence of this rnp-
! ture will lie the cntire separation of the banks
from the financial policy Of the Government
and perhaps, a contest between the latter and
the moneyed interest of the country

The DfabOlical Programme of the Eu,rrs
| patiOnists.
The New York Mercury thus discloses the
horrible purposes of the abolitionists:
There is no longer any reason for keeping Sc
cret matter which the public will soon hear of
if we do not inform. All the leading cities in
the Gulf States will soon be in ashes
Operating through the Underground Railroad,
an association of the friends of John Brown have
f; been in communication with the most likely and
desperate slaves in all the large Southern cities,
and it has been determined, upon given signal
to give them to the flames. Notwithstanding
the difficulties interposed by the war, the agents
OF the extreme abolitionists have penetrated into
every city of considerable size in the seeded
States, ana by the mysterious passwords known
only to them and the slaves, have established an
understanding OF terrible import to the slave
holders.
1t will have been remarked that, since the war
has broken out, the abolitionists have passed out
of the public's sight; but they have not been
idle for all that. They have their agents to-day
IN every State in the country-in the North
collecting means; in the South preparing to
strike. At the opening Of the war they sup
posed that the Government would, in short
time, issue edict of emancipation, and they
had the slaves prepared to respond; but as that
has not been done, owing to the cowardIy coun-
ellis which have prevailed at Washington, they
have waited until our armies were ready to be
landed upon the enemy, before the blow would
be struck at the homes and hearths of the rebel
soldiers.
But now the avenging angel is prepared to
flesh his sword in the very vitals Of slave power
Our armies are gathering for a mighty effort,
and the decks of our great navy cleared for
action. On the Mississippi, in Southern Ken
lucky, below the Potomac, up the Rappahan-
mock and York River, at Norfolk. Charleston,
Savannah, Pensacola. Mobile, and New Orleans,
the avengng bolts of war to be launched,
and the dogs of slaughter let loose But worse
than ships or armies. than cannon and sabre,
than death in all its most horrible fora1s, will
be the uprising of the Infatuated down-trod,len
negroes, who, brutazed by generations Of cruel
wrong, will mcte out to their eppressors the
rude justice of revenge. The cities and villages
will be burned, and the streams will be red with
the slaughter of the rebels.
The work has begun. Charleston is in ruins:
and soon the lurd light will be flashing from
Grande. As for the shareholders, we can "laugh
at them in their calamity, and mock them when
their fear cometh."
