PREMIUM W. DISCOUNT.

TIE daily handling OF money no more makes
q political economist than the daily walk o7er
payenents and cobble.stones makes a geoogitt.
Even those whose business it is to wIito upOn
monetary matters sometimes show want OF
reflection surprising to those who pretend TO
10 especial knowledge III financial affairs.
Thus, in money article OF The Tunes few
days since, we are told that the premium on
gold, and consequently on exchange ca London,
Is a most fortunate thing, inasmuch rs 1t al
lows our farmers to furnish their grain at q
cheaper cost to the English than it can be got
Tor from Russia, while at BE same tine tho
profit is greater to the producer here. Thus.
If exchange is at 20 per cent premium, the
buyer really pays but 81 barrel for the Eorr,
aud the seller gets 81 for it. New, if This be
true, then clearly if exchange shall go high
enough the buyer will get his -four for
nothing, while the seller will still gel bis ,s5 G
barrel-the demand in that case viii unquei-
tionably be unlimited.
Nor il Tie Times singular in these original
views of political economy. A purely CON-
mercol paper, The Shipping L'si, Of week
ago, commences It's article ca finance BY stating
that gold is at 20 per cent premium. AID
therefore that currency or paper money is at
20 per cent discount, and, after half column
of equally erroneous stetcments, concludes
with the opinion that, because stamps axe TO
De- a legal tender, therefore small change will

evidently when gold is at 20 per cent premium,
the currency is not 30 but Only lGS per cent

they should get tol' each paper dollar $50 cent?,
anl no: 80 cent?. Clearly, the Will b. paying
% per cent premium Oh the gold if they ac-
cept but 20 cents for the paper dollar. ms
is q very general impression, and IS taken adj
vantage OF constantly ut the shaying-shops ald
in making change; a loss of considerable per.
ceptage IS incurred, aud a percentage which
will be larger as the premium on gold H.
creases. The idea that change viii be made

in payments, is singular iallacy. Stamps are
simply an extension Of the paper money sy5-
TEN, and will necessarily tend to increase tae
premium On gold. silver, copper. and every.
thing else. They were a necessity under the
circumstances and tue bes. possible substitute

but they viii, TO the extent needed Tor small
change, which is Thought to be fifteen millions
of dollars, be just that much more paper
money, with all the advantages and all the
Disadvantages OF the system.

WAR I'm EARNEST.

The President has called out Three Hundred
Thousand armed citizens, to be selected b.
draft from the enrolled Militia Of the loyal
States, in addition to the Three Hundred Thou
sand Volunteers called for month ago. If
quota of the latter by the 18th inst, then tie
deficiency of that call is also to he promptly
filed up by draft. Assuming that no great
loss shall meantime be encountered, the Re
public will have fully One Million Soldiers
in the field when these drafrq shall have been
answered, as they should be early in Septern-
Der, and can hardly be later than October lst.
We believe the country will generally hail
this decisive step with exulting approval. IL il
unjust TO our brethren who volunteered early
10 the contest that they should remein eoopcd
up in forts or standing on the defensive against
heavy odds while we, by high bountes, byibe
mon whose interest and whose dug Is identical
with theirs to go to their relief. 1t is due to
our paralyzed Industry, our DISTRACTED Com
merce, our overloaded Finances our mangled
Railroads, and above all to the anxious, sor.
rosiDg, suffering wives and children Of our
brave soldiers, who have SO long and so vainly
awaited the return from the war Of Their hus-
bands and fathers, that We should send into
the field men enough to diminish thcir pers,
tighten their IabGrs, and expedite the conclu-
sion Of their service.
Most certainly we believe that this draft
might have been avoided. Had Our Govern
ment promptly declared and consistently main
tailed the legal inability Of traitor to hold
loyal person in Slavery, and openly invited
every one claimed az bis slave by Rebel to
make his way 50 soon as possible to the Union
lines, there to serve his country as should be
required, and receive therefor u certificate
of bis freedom, we believe The Rebellion would
haze been crippled just where it is strongest, !
and ere this oyertbrown. We believe the
Union is to-day IN peril because, and only be-
cause, of its unwarranted tenderness toward
Slayeholding Treason. We believe that One
Hundred Thousand loyal and brave ColOred
Men might have ere this been enrolled as Vol
lntecrs for the defense Of the Union, provided
i had been willing TO fight their oppressors and
)ur deadly enemies by the readiest, most e.
ective, and perfectly justifoblc weapons.

considerable amusement. When they
wished to represent the character of gen

by brushing up their coats. and washing
up their drawers to give the appearance

were present. at one Of their entertainments,
and the boys played an original piece
called the Yankee al Bulls Run," which
sat so hard upon them that they 'vamosed
