a Financial suggestion.

There are in the hands of receivers OF
Courts, Executors, Guardians and Trus-
tees of various kinds, large sums OF
money, which the fiduciaries are direct
ed to loan ont for the benefit of the ces-
tm que traas In the present condition
of the money market, it is often impos-
sible to lend this money to responsible
borrowers, and the iduciaries are en-
barrassed as TO the proper disposition of
the funds.
Under these circumstances, would it
not be we'll for the Legislature to al
thorize all such parties to invest the
funds subject to their control in Confed-
crate or State bondsg 1t certainly would
be great relief to parties having the
control of trust funds, and it would rem
der an important service to the Confed-
crate and State governments, by absorb
ing large quantity of the redundant
currency. By legal provision Of this
kind many millions of dollars would
be invested in public securities, and the
credit of the government would be
strengthened, and the character Of the
currency improved.
We respectfully ask the attention Of
the General Assembly to this sugges-
ton, and invite the co operation of the
Richmond Journals in bringing i+ %
the notice of the Legislature ,,h;ob Is
about to assemble. ~

Subscribers

The subscribers to the Spectator have been
paying up in such a manner az to confirm us in
the belief that we have list of as good subscri-
bers as any paper in the State. Our list is not
only large one, but is composed of persons, in
the main, who are too honest to withhold from
the Editor his just dues. AS there are few
black sheep in every flock, so there are some sub
scribers on our list to whom the above remark
does not apply. If they do not, in short time,
pay what they are owing, they will be erased
from our books, and will find their names pub
lished in what is denominated the s'Black List
Some have ordered their papers to be discontin-
ued, who have not paid. This class seem to be
ignorant of the fact that the laD makes them res
ponsible for the paper, till paid for, as long as
the Editor chooses to send it. We never await
ourself Of this provision othe law, for the reason
that we are unwilling to send the paper to any
a day longer than they wish it. All that we
ask is, that they pay for it to the time they order
it to be discontinued. Those who order the dis
continuance Of their paper without paying for it,
may be doing themselves great injustice, for
they may not purpose to defraud the editor OF
his dues, whilst their conduct is susceptible OF
that con struction. For this reason, we are will
ling to grant reasonable time to them to pay
up, and if, in that time, they do not pay, we will
conclude that they do not intend to do so, and
will govern our conduct accordingly. This class
we intend to EXPOSE, if there be any virtue in
printers ink.
Our subscription list has increased recently
a more rapid rate than it has ever done before.
We have On our books for the names of
any who do not pay punc.ualiy and promptly
All, without exception, are now required to pay
IN ADVANCE. AS Congress and the Legislature
will both be in session in few days, and as the
war news is becoming more and mole interesting.
this is favorable time to sn1Gssibr. Send in
your names accompanied by $500 Confederate
money preferred. but if persons desire to pay in
notes on the State Banks, or in gold and silver,
we will not decline to receive it.

Mr.. Slidell has had another interview with

The Paris correspondent Of the New York

it is srumored in diplomatic circles that the to-
ries assisted by France will succeed in oustlng
Palmerston and Russell soon after the opening
of Parliament. Golden, aided by other econo-
mists will join the tories, whose policy IN re-
spect to Italy and to American intervention is
identical with that of France" The llerald s
correspondent adds that the rumors are not with
out foundation, and that n the spring thor

ment may be expected.

airy regiment, Partisan Rangers, pitch
al into Milroy's ordinance and baggage
train 5 miles below Moorefield, and cap
tnred SO fine horses and harness, and %
Yankees. He brought to camp Il OF
tho Yankees and 4S of the horses. This
feat fss was performed in broad q daylight i1
Il an open field, and in full sight Of the
whole marching column Of the enemy
The whole work was done in 10 minutes
Giant Mcneil had but 81 men present
The enemy shelled them furiously as
thew fled up the mountain side with Their
prisoners and booty. The horses captnr
ed are very fine.
Capt. Mcneil has performed several
most daring exploits as partisan leader
during the last three months.

Great Victory at Murfreesboro.

God has crowned our arms with an
other glorious victory. Upon the bridge
of time which spanned the gulf between
the years 1862 and 1863 one of the most
important battles of the war was fought,
and one of the most brilliant victories
for the south achieved. We babe adieu
to the old year amidst the roar OF can
non and the shouts OF victory, and salu-
ted the new year with songs OF triumph
and gratitude. In the exuberance OF
our Joy, we were so loving that we ex-
tended our arms to embrace the whole
Of Rozencrans army, but his troops
.sabout faced" and 'sdouble quicked" at
such speed as prevented us from embra-
cling more than about 5000 of them
We were anxious to give them a cordial
New Years greeting, but they declined
to receive any more compliments from
us. having been satisfied with what they
received the day before. They did not
seem to relish our mode of celebrating
that day-thonght we were rather 500
demonstrative-fi fired too many big guns
thought somebody might get hurt"
performed a "grand stragetic move

Gen'l Bragg has encircled his brow with
preener chaplet of laurel than that won
upon the blood-stained field of Buena
Vista. By this brilliant victory he rises
resplendelt above the mists in which
his campaign in Kentucky had envelop-
ed him. This is one Of the most impor-
tant victories OF the war, and effectually
breaks the spinal column of the great
Anaconda which was to enfold and crush
the rebellion. We think this will moi
be barren victory, but one prolific Of
great results.
We refer the reader to the official de-
spatches, published in another column
for the news, as far as received, OF this
great battle. 1t will be seen that the
enemy have been not only defeated al
Murfreesboro', but also repulsed a
Vicksburg, and that they have left thai
gallant city which 'slaughed to scorn'
their furious assault We think itprob
able that a great part of Rosencrans
army will yet be captured. These vic
tories will give us possession OF the
whole of Tennessee and probably Ken
lucky.
P. S. The latest news we have from
Murfreesboro' is contained in the fol
lowing despatch:
MuRFREEeBoRo', Jan. 2.--The enemy
retired last night but short distance il
rear Of his former position. We had {
sharp contest this evening. We drove
his left flank from its position, but oul
attacking party again retired with con
siderable loss 10 both sides. Generals
Wheeler and Wharton were again il
their rear yesterday, and captured 200
prisoners, one piece Of artillery, and de
stroyed 200 loaded wagons.

General Franklin's sworn testimony
before the Yankee Investigating Com
mittee shows that the loss OF the enemy
at Fredericksburg must have been very
great. He was in command on the en-
emy's left opposed to General Hill, and
says that his loss was about ten thous-
and, as will be seen by the following
question and answer recorded in his
sworn testimony:
Question What, in your opinion, is
the number ct your killed, wounded and
missing
Answer think it will amount to
about ten thousand altogether.
Some idea of their whole loss may be
conceived when it is remembered that
the enemy suffered more on their right
and centre than on their left, and were
so much demoralized that it was found
necessary to recross the river

Milroy RivaIing Butter.

HEApo'Rs CHEAT MOUNTAIN DIVISION, }
Petersburg, Western Virginia,
Dec. 20, 1862.
Whereas loyalty to The government of the
United States is the highest and first duty of all
citizens of that government, and when not vel
UNFAIRLY yielded must be enforced, and subordi
nate to this is the obligation Of loyalty to the
State in which they live.
And whereas the Congress of the United States
has recently recognized and admitted the State
of West Virginia as one Of the States of tie
Union.
And whereas. the said State of West Virginia
has avowed and demonstrated her loyalty to the
General Government OF the United States, by
sending nearly 1000 troops for the army that
government, to assist in the suppression of the
present unjust rebellion, and is, therefore, emit
tied to the sincerest loyalty of all citizens within
the said State,
Therefore it is ordered, that ali c:tizesns mate
