treasury warrants fell fity per cent. Such,
however, would not have been their fate
had they then been made legal tender.
OF course, Il is easy to imagine for the
Government situation In which, whatever
resorts are laid hold of by it, its issues will
be enormously deprecated. II appropria-
tions and expenditures are marked by ex-
travagance, waste and prohigacy--if vigi.
liant economy is wsnting-no financial ex.
pedients ever contrived by the wit or wisdom
of man, will save the nation from plunge
into bottomless abyss Of bankruptcy. II
Congress are needless, lavish and ignorant
ifofticers intrusted with supplying the army
and navy, are careless or dishonest; II favor
teism and a desire to reward friends and
partisans govern the letting of contracts; II
accounting officers are careless; and false
and fictitious accounts of services never
rendered, or supplies never furnished, are
allowed to swell the aggregate of the nations
debts, nobody can see the end of the financial
disgrace and ruin that are impending.
And it may be very wise and most timely
now to consider whether one of the best
means of preserving the national credit in
tact is not to make TetrenchmeHt severe and
upsparipg. Does it not begin to look plain
that our nation can not maintain an army
and navy of from half million to million
of men, upon the onerous condition of paying
for their use .fUe or si& times what is paid for
the same number by European nations
whose army and navy expenditures are be-
ginning to make even those nations groan I?
1t seems apparent that our war expenditures
must be brought nearer to the European
standard, if the nation is not to be sBamped.
How far retrenchment should proceed in this
direction will be a matter for debate. While
some would insist that reduction of one.
third is Indispensable others would not be
content unless the expenses were cut down
one. halt. OF course, the measure dealt out
to the war expenditures is to be applied to
the expenses of the civil departments of the
Government.
Should, then, the standard of expenditure
be considerably lowered and wise and Wig
orous policy mark the conduct of the war,
paper issue by the Government, receivable
for all dues to it, and made a legal tender
might be kept in circulation without being
ruinously or inconveniently deprecated.
The Government revenues and the wants of
business united would probably absorb it, or
in other words, keep up constant and
wholesome demand for it that would prevent
its depreciation to any serious extent.
But wise and vigorous war policy i'm
plies that the war shall not be long pro-
tracted. 1t is difficult for the nation to see
its way financially through this war, if con-
tinued, under the most favorable circum-
stances as to expenditures, for four or FIVE,
or perhaps even two, years longer.

Iron-CIad EeaseIa.

The New York Post says that while the
wooden hulls and machinery for the twenty
iron-clad vessels ordered by Congress could
be constructed in few months, our facilities
for providing them with shot-proof plates
are extremely meager. There is not to-day
a single rolling-mill in the country capable
of turning out those great iron plates which
are demanded for this purpose. There is but
one firm even in Great Britain which rolls
these, and that is fully occupied with con.
tracts from the British Government so that
we could not get plates there, if we were dis
posed to. There are, perhaps, two mills-no
more-in the country, whose managers and
operatives have been accustomed to handling
ofsuch vast aud ponderOus masses as iron
armor plates-the Trenton Iron Company,
in New Jersey, and the Phenix Iron Com.
pany at Phenixville; Penn. Masses of a
tun weight are now rolled at these establish
ments; but before masses of three or four
tuns, such as the armor plates required, can
be prepared even at these mills, new engines
rolls and furnaces must be erected. To put
up such new machinery will require about
four months. But when operations are once
begun, the plates could be turned out at the
rate OF one hundred tuns per day. The Specifi-
cations for the new ships call for about four.
teen thousand tuns of plates, and as the ships
can not be built in less than six months, it is
evident that if the machinery for rolling the
plates is at once erected, they will not have
to wait long for their armor. The cost of
erecting the necessary works would be about
$25O,OOO, and it is thought that Congress will
have to establish national rolling-milI, as
private capitalists will not be disposed to en-
bark in such an enterprise, because the mills
can not be used for purposes of general man
ufacture.

MIR. RIy,s Injunction,

Mr.. Congressman Ely had public recep-
tion in New York tbe other evening, in
honor of his return from rebel imprisonment.
His recent experience gives Importance to the
following remarks in his reply:
Gentlemen, am persuaded that the vast
army committed to the trusty hands of Nc
Clellan has much to do. III have learned
any thing in the South it is that we fight a
people terribly in earnest. The cry of Pala-
fox, at Saragosss, "War to the knife" is still
their cry. Firm in the belief that we seek
their subjugation, they have waxed desper-
ate, and neither life nor treasure will be
spared to prevent the advance of our arms.
A rebellion 30 extensive and Jealous as that
which now reigns throughout the South can
only be overcome by the best and strongest
efforts off united North. We must, as one
man, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart,
forgetful of party, or prejudice, of all but
country, join with the Government in its exs
ertion for the preservation of the Republic
So only may we, by Gods good help, restore
the National banner whence it has been
r9dely torn, and by conquest win enduring
peace, and establish our power to cope with
traitors at home as successfully as we have
with foes from abroad

General Lnnn,a Cnmmnnd.

The Chicago Journal learns from Wash
ington that General James II. Lane will
reach that city the latter part of the present
week, en- route for Kansas, where the War
Department has assigned to him a command
of 25, 600 men, 5000 of whom are to be cav.
airy; and included in the command are three
of the regiments now encamped at Chicago
Brackets Cavalry, Baldwin's Infantry and
Wilson's Mechanical Fusileers. The last
named regiment, for whose thorough equip
ment as army engineers, mechanics and
artisans, the Government has determined to
appropriate $4,000, will accompany the
General from Chicago to Fort Leavenworth.
1t is understood that this command under
General Lane is designed for a grand expe-
dition through the section of country along
the Arkansas border into Texas, simultane.
ously with the grand movement of all the
divisions of the Army of the Union.
