HOW TO REDUCE THE CURRENCY.

We publish to day letter from Hon. P. Clayton
late Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, en- the
of relieving the Confederate finances, and re-
moving the present redundancy Of circulation 1t
will be seen that he recommends State subscriptions,
and proposes to Georgia to take the lead and set the
example. He advises that she should sell fifty mil
lions of her seven per cert. bonds and invest the
proceeds (Which he supposes will reach hundred
nillions in Confederate States six per cent. stock
He would have her to do this Intentionally with
out waiting for any previous pledge of cooperation
on the part of the other States That CO operation
would come of ITSELF and the whole effect would be
a loan of FIVE hundred millions to the Confederate
Treasury, and its perfect relief
1t will be seen, too that Mr.. Clayton does not de-
pend on individual CO. operation. The loan he pro-
poses, is on State account entirely. Nor is he timd
on the amount he proposes-6fty millions Of Geor
ga bonds calculated to produce hundred millions
in currency.
Mr. Clayton argues, and conclasively, that Geor-
gia would lose nothing by the proposed investment
On the contrary, she would make, either for herself
to be relnquished to the Confederacy, as Mr.. G..
proposes.
We have in all this reiteration and sanction of
the views which have been advocated in this paper
on the same subject What is true of Georgia is
true Of Virginia, and uee oersa The fact that tho
same scheme finds spontaneous and Contemporary
favor, both in the Virginia Legislature and in Geor
ga, and that the honor of leading in the noble move
ment is coveted for both States at the tlme is
proof that cooperation Is certa, and needs no pre-
vious covenant
We trust that the views presented by Mr.. Clay
ton, as proper to be acted on i'll Georgia, will find
favor in Virginia. Let Virginia resolve to invest
her credit to the extent of forty millions, at least
in the Confederate securities. Let her do this un
conditonally and promptly. She might extend te
her citizens an invitation to share in her proposed
investment by their private subscriptions; but let
her not wait for them, or depend upon them. Suc'
we think will prove the only practical mode of &C
compshing any thing and the consequences will
be safe and advantageous to the States as States tt
their citizens and to the States as Confederacy. -
Richmond Sentinel
We trust North Carolina will not touch this
scheme under any circumstances. Itwould at ono
blast her own credit and in the end ruin her people
beyond redemption.
