PROGRESS OF BuRNs:DE's ARMY.

The Cincinnati Gasette has the fol
lowing from Burnside's army, dated
East Tennessee, August Goth:
Everything is progressing as satisfactorily
as could be desired, aud l;,r bettdr than was
anticipated. The teours are III fine spirits
ana mos, excellent health The mountain
air, the beautiful sce!.ery, ana delightful
weather eAhiiarates every body. We move
twenty miles day easily Reire: he'd by the
cool nights, We feconinencc the march AT
daylight with renewed yigor. The worst
roads are passed, our trains are up, and thus
far we have marched with but few casualties.
Forage is scarce on the mountains, but as
yet our animals have not suffered. The ma
lives flock in from all quarters with fruit,
vegetables, and chickens. During the last
two days, on a forty mile march, We have
ccr.ainly seen five hundred childfcs and
Young girls, although not over dozen
houses were visible III the entire dis
tance The road to day was Level, dry,
and .andy, just wide enough for wagon,
ana closet above with oVcrhaDging Magno

and distant Inouutains softly faded away IL.
the pale blue OF the horizon inieiihihSiea
with a thousand tints of sky andtolia5e pre-
sented itself A nomentasy impression oi
beauty, sublimity, and peace, passes over tiie
soul, and again We plunge into the Shaded
moantain paths. An occasional rattlesnake
breaks the quiet OF the march by amoment
of brief Excitement, terminating III the ap
preparation of his rattlcS by some oil oui
boys.

State is nation within ITSELF We have
formed partnership for certain purposes,
and each State has the right to leave that

State is = nation within itself. We have
formed partnership for certain purposes.
and each State has the right to leave that
partnership when it finds that it il conye.
nient or useful to do SO. We have zen.
eral agent here in Richmond, which wc
call the Confederate Government. and
which manages the affairs Of the firm.
Now, why not take hint from the struc-
turc Of the system under which we live ?
Surely bank, to which every State con-
tnbuted portion of its general treasure
proportionate to its representation in
Congress, taking stock in the same pro.
portion, would not be liable to the ,obiec.
tons which can DC alleged against an
Exchequer Bank. The States could. each.
have its branch or branches, and be at
perfect liberty to withdraw from the bank.
as they now are from the Confederacv.
They could have general agent at some
one point, as the Confederacy has now
here in Richmond The check upon this
general agent would be too powerful to
admit Of the supposition that it would
interfere with any State banks doing an
honest and lawful business. The States
would not suffer it.
No Confederate bank, we imagine, will
ever be established without taking care
to separate tine functions Of issue and
discount. The immense benefit that has
been experienced in England, from such a
divorce, could not possibly be lost upon
statesmen and financiers in this country.
A Confederate bank ought to be estah.
lished, if established at all, principally
with view to regulate the currency. 1t
ought, indeed, to be so constructed, as to
possess the power to restrain the exccs-
siye issue of State banks, and to furnish
currency Of universal credit And
therefore it ought to be under the com
plete control Of some power or other.
The ordinary bu1iness of banking ought
to be a matter Of very inferior consitlcra-
ton in the construction of such bank,
and should be placed under the strictest
limitations.
