What word more is needed to contrast
the rebel finances with our OWN?
None, save this one: Their public debt
has swollen to point they dare not ac-

have been as reckless as they have been
profuse; and no man now pretends to
suppose that they would ever think of
redeeming more than their bonds; while
the whole immense isRues of currency
would become irredeemable, repudiated
trash.
Our issues of paper money have been
80 carefully controlled and guarded that
the currency has suffered but trifiing
imitation; the Treasury Notes are every

money we ever had; and the Govern

A NORTHERN LADY AT THE SoUTH.-A
former we'll known resident of El1nira
passed through here, few days since, on
her return from Richmond, whittier she
went last spring by flag of truce from For
tress Monroe, to visit some near relatives
in the interior of the State of Virginia. She
had opportunities of entering into some of
the leading secession families of the Capt.
tai and other parts of the State. For some
time there was not much nlistrust of her
visit, but after while it began to be whis-
pered around that she was a Northern spy,
and, although her relatives were nearly
connected with rebel families in the high
est estate, and intimate with the family of
President Davis himself. she was not ex-
empted from formal arrest, from which
she was relieved by the good Offices of a
distinguished lawyer, who, for a good fat
fee, defended her case successfully, and
brought about her release, but at the loss
of all her yaluables and clothing. But
after this, one OF the secret spies was con-
stantly on her track, noting every action
and recording her conversation, and she
learned she was to bearrested second time.
Thinking she had better, quietly if posi-
BILE, get out of rebeldom, she, with simplv
a bare suit of clothes, well worn at that.
secretly, one night, took the cars to Rich.
mond, which she reached in safety, but
still found herself an object of espionage

cial, who directed her, if possible, to get to
Petersburg, and from there he would en-
deavor to get her safely into our lines with
the exchange of Union prisoners being sent
forward. Without exciting suspicion, she
procured pass from the Provost Marshal
to go to Petersburg, and getting into the
company of some Sisters Of Mercy, they
reached that point without molestation, =
The influences of her pledged friend We're
paramount and without further difficulty
she reached the Union transports in James
river, with nothing in her possession but
the poor ragged suit of clothes she had on
her back. She soon reached friends in a
Union city, and was supplied with money
and a wardrobe to pursue her journey.
She had the opportunity of visiting the
various prisons where Union prisoners
were confined: was all through the famous
Libby prison. OF the treatment of the
majority of the Union prisoners, we have
little conception. Aside from the masses
of the vermin which cover their persons,
they suffer the keenest pangs of starvation.
She approached one youthful Union priso-
ner, who seemed in much suffering, and
upon inquiring the cause of his pain, he re-
piled IS Hunger, madame!'
In their exchanges of prisoners, the reb-
els purposely select the poorest, weakest,
and most emaciated of our men, who will
not survive long, and in return for these
receive back their men well fed, well
clothed, and in sound health. She was in
one of the Charlottesville hospitals, located

A PRovIDENTIAL CIRCUMSTANCE We
see by the st. Louis, Louisville and Nash
vile papers that General Allen, the chief
Quartermaster of the Western Armies, is
making the most energetic use of his pre-
rogative of impressing steamers for Gov
eminent service, and is sending up the
Tennessee and Cumberland an enormous
amount of supplies for Grants army. The
recent rise in those rivers has decided the
question Of holding Chattanooga in our
favor, for it depended entirely on our abil-
ity to transport supplies--and the high wa
ter will enable us to provision Gen. Tho
mas army for months ahead. This accom-
plished, our hold on East Tennessee is Sc
cured beyond peradventure.
