1t is pleasant TO turn for moment from gazing at
the gigantic and thrilling drama of war-whose stage
extends from the Chesapeake the Rio Grande whose
curtain is the suphurous smoke Of battle whose m.
sic is the loud and rattling nusketry-to con-
template tho quiet and pleasant field of fiction:
and to listen to the voice of criticism in eucdation of
its mysteries in praise of it's beauties in rccommen.
dation of its utility 1t makes long for the days of
peace when the grabbed professors of strategy and
international law and the learned doctors of taxation
finance and kindred thorny subjects, will descend from
the critics chair and give place to the sweet toned ac-
cents of the accomplished Bellies Lettres lecturer

inapplicable to other persons who for their own graft

which is confusion of persons and ideas essentially

And then as 10 the o-recurrng egg" illustration
"Ihen why is your pertinacous in trying to
transfer his eggs to the Of his creditor who
lent him good eggs years ago? Why does he stir up
this unseemly squabble? Can it be because ne thinks
hss eggs are unsound and would like get rid of them
as sound? p Let all men judge who first stirred up
the squabble and who first implied by their conduct
unsoundness. The payment of debts is and has been
according to the abundance scarcity of money moro
or less OF daily Nor is this done nor has
been done always in specie notes convertible into
specie. Debts were paid in 1878 in the notes of
suspended banks, and the creditors wero glad to re-
ceive them though snch were not specie nor con-
vertble into it. Why were creditors willing to receive
what was confessedly not money' in payment of
specie debt? Because they believed in tile ultimate SOL
vency and good faith of the Banks of this State whose
bills were rendered them. Twelve month ago-siX
months ago. nay, far aware to the contra
ry, up TO within month ago this process of paying
debts in the ordinary currency of the country was un
interuptedy carried on The debtor glad to be able
to pay and the creditor willing to receive Treasury
Notes. But objections have lately been raised to the
continuance OF practice uninterrupted before IN the
whole history of the community viz the practice of
receiving the ordinary currency of the country in pay
ment of debts And it lies upon the part of the OBJ
Jectors to assign satisfactory for proceed
ing so extraordinary Their refusal to continue a
course of conduct which had universally prevailed
heretofore, raised the squabble. The creditors COM
menced it. And currency, both State and Confed-
crate which "conessedly is not money" has been re-
ceived n payment Of specie debts until very recently
this novel and unookedor refusal is calculated to pro-
duce alarm and nllct injury. Why were the bills of
suspended banks received in payment of debts? Be-
cause the sovency and good faith of these institutions
were implicitly believed in. Why Treasury notes
now refused? Is it not because there is such thing
as reputation of debts by individuals and governments
such thing scaling them-such thing as refti-
sal to pay interest on them prompty?' Weare forced
to believe from the conductof "y man" that he has
very serious doubts upon tho subject of Confederate
ability and good faith in this regard
We deprecae the whole of this discussion The
idea of Reputation should no more be entertained and
discussed, than the idea of subiugation We know the
latter never will be our ate-why this uneasness and
restlessness in regard to tho other? Let Treasury
Notes be received, they have been up to this time
