There are ominous signs that the fatal
craiIh in our financial affairs, which all
know is inevitable, sooner or later, is not
far off, Wall Street is more than usually
fevsrish and as Congress is in session, The
anxiety for Mi. Chase TO open his plans for
the future, knows no boands. Every thing
now obeys the nod and beck of the great
Shinplaster King at Washington He makes
and nnmakes fortunes as he pleases. He
sels up one and pulls down another. He
has been holding forth inducements thai
the war wonld be of short duration, but.
year alter year, he Is compelled 10 increase
his estimates and conisss that he has been
utterly mistaken. Even his own friends
begin to lremble.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
seas, wiring from Washington, has the fol-
lowing ominoas paragraph
When the deluded followers of Abolition
get so they can see eoreakers ahead we
shall have advanced one step towards
psscs. So long as .he heartless villains
who urge on This war see only riches, and
wealth, and liixnry before them, no matter
hox much death, bloodshed, misery and
desloIalion are before other people, SO long
will they cry out Tor slaughter and exiefmi-
naliou 8nl lei the tables turn. Let il no
longer be Tor the interest Of these men 10
war upon the South, and how soon would
all their pretended love Tor The Union van
ish. Why, il is not four years since that
Horace Greeley was proving that the South
was a positive curse ard expense 10 The
North, and that il would be good thing 10
get rid OF her, Ell now she is SO valuable
Tint we mus bnakrnpt our people and rain
ourselves in order to whip her into subjec-
fion. The very men now spending mill

wtlre the very ones who commended, win
all their might, against allowing er 10 come
inlo The Union when she offered TO do 30
uiihoui money aud without price Aud,
s.faugs 10 say, Massachusetts, which was
the head aud ironE oil the opposition To- that
measure, now furnishes the General and
most Of the soldiers 10 compel Texas 10 do
thai which, in 1917, she so srennonsIy op

resolution TO secede from the Union if fex-
a. was annexed, and only failed 10 do so
because The pluck OF her Aboliiisn bulies
Was nol equaito lhair Dragging. Since The
war broke olit, however, she has made a
good speculation by il. The withdrawal
o. the southern members enabled her 10
pass tariff Tor The express benefit OF New
England manufacturers, which she did at
once, without waiting. Since then she has
been manufacturing army goads, aad mus
ksts, rifles, lkc., &c. We all pay taxes TO
her in everything we wear, and she Is get
ting along finely. Bui her prosperity is OF
The cobweb order A breath will sweep it
away one Of these days, when The grand
shinplasier bubble expIodes. All instinc
tireIy feel til al this event cannot be far off
bui each one sails along, hoping that il will
NOT strike him amidships. Wall street is as
nervous as d burglar in bank, who starts
at every sound, aud is frightened at his
own shadow. Prudent men will shorten
sail in these times. Keep near shore, and
make 7ofi as often as possible; bui Wall
street gamblers, like all other gamblers,
sssll venture until the last shinpIas;er is
eohs, and Iiol see the breakers until il is
t,o late.
