HOW TO REDUCE THE CURRENCY.


W. publish today letter from Hon. P Clayton,
lste Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, on inc
means or raavinr the Confederate finances anu re-
moving the present redundancy OF ciTCula'on: ~
will be seen that he recommends state SUBSCRIPTIONS
and proposes to Georgia to take the lead anu SET 'e
evomnIe lie advises that she should sell nifty mill
ToDs IF No. seven per cent. bonds, and invest the
proceeds (Which he supposesSwill reach hunureu
mIionsl in Confederate States six per cent stock.
He would have her to do this uncondltl0nGtty WIN
out waiting for any previous pledge OF co-operauon
on the part of the other States mat co U
a loan of FIVE hundred millions to the confederate
Treasury, and its perfect relief
II will be seem too that Mr.. Clayton does not de-
pend on individual CO operation Inc loan ne Pio
poses is on State account entirely Nor Is ne Lhiu
on the amount he proposes-niCy mililohs Vi .H'S
gia bonds calculated to produce nuhureu lniiiiO"S
Mr., CLAYTON argues, and conclusively, that Geor-
ola vould lose nothing by the proposed investment
On the contrary she would make either for herself
or to be reinquished to the Confederacy, as Mr. Z.
proposes. r
We have in all this a reiteration and sanction OF
the views which have been advocated IN TINS paper
on. the same subject What is true of Georgia IS
true of Virginia and rice 0ersG The fact that the
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 same tme Is
proof that cooperation certai, and needs no pre-
Vious covenant.
d. We trust that the views presented by Mr.. Clay
ton, as proper to be acted on in 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-
conditionally and promptly. She might extend to
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. Such
we think will prove the only practical mode OF &C
complishing any thing; and the consequences will
be safe and advantageous to the States States, to
their citizens and to the States Uonfederacy.A
Richmond Sentinel
We trust North Carolina will not touch this
scheme under any circumstances. Itwould at once
blast her own credit and in the end ruin her people
beyond redemption.
