rency. and are happy to say that. as speci-
mems of artistic skill and beauty. we have
never seen them surpassed. If equalled.
We will mention few of the reasons
why the people generally will demand the
prompt adoption of the plan Of Secretary
Chase. and whv every locality Of much
Importance will sosn have a"Nationai
1st. 1t will give to the people a uni
form currency-as it is designed. in fur
nishing banks. to have the bills OF each
denomination exactly alike.
End. The engraving and entire work
manship of the bills will be in the very
highest style of art. and consequently the
business Of counterfeiting will be. practi-
cally ended.
3rd. Every bill issued by every bank
no matter where locatsd--will command
the entire confidence of the community
from one end Of the nation to the other,
and pass current at all times. without a
question.
4th. Each bank will have as basis for
its circulation and as unquestionable pro-
lection to the public. precisely the same
security-viz: Government stocks.
9th. The faith of the whole nation--not
single State--will be pledged for the re-
demption Of such a circulation. and there
fore it would be preferred and sought after
in all business circles.
9th. Such currency would be used as
= medium ofexchange from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. and would save the coun-
try millions of dollars annually now paid
to brokers and shavers.
7th. No jealousy or opposition would
or could exist between the banks in q time
OF panic, on account of their relative sol
vency or safety. A small institution in
Kansas would hold up its head as high as
the prondest corporation in the city of
New York.
Sth. One Of the strongest arguments in
favor OF the National Banking system. is
the great strength it will giveto the Gov
crnment, by creating in all quarters, city
and country. a demand for the Un:ed
States Notwithstanding permanent
market for at least two or three hundred
millions.
9th. All these National Banks, when
established. may safely be used as Gov
ernment repositories unler the Internal
Revenue law, and also. where there is no
Sub-Treasury. for the safe keeping of Gus :
tom house receipts. postage money. dc.
And we say again. that the crowning
act and glory Of the administration Of Sec
retary Chsse--as it will appear in history
will be the Inauguration of his National.

What 8 yOnng Soldier Thinks about

To the Editor the Chicago Eueasng Journal:
The following is from John Har
bridge, q worthy boy in the 1st Board
of Trade Regiment, now in the PiOneel
Corps at Lake Providence, neal
Eicksburg:
DEAR MOTHER: l wish l had some
news that would interest you, but
shink if we take Vicksburg this spring
there is some hopes Of Us being home
by the 4th day Of July, With you. Ny
hopes are bright and my health good,
am glad to hear of the arming of the
negroes. If Uncle Sam can kill two
birds with one stone, / say go IN. II
this war is to terminate in freeing
them, / say now is their time to strike
while the iron is hot. | don't see
why We should fight and they ride
in slavery. Those around here are
willing to fight. / believe they will
fight well: They are used by the
rebels, and the poor devils don't know
any better; their masters tell them we
have come to shoot them.
It's high time this cursed rebellion
was put down and crushed forever,
never to rise any more against US
The bows are all pretty well. You
must not believe all you hear. There
Is no truth in all that you read in
papers about sickness and the dying.
1t seems you are having some noise
from the Copperheads up North
The Copperhead traitors won't be
easy till we come home. The boys
are just boiling over with hatred to.
wards them. Should Illinois troops
be called North to settle them, God
have mercy on their souls, for / know
it would be terrible work. God grant
that the time may speedily come when
every traitor to the Union shall be
mouldering in the sod or engulfed in
the ocean, for He will not suffer them
to triumph over US. The right will
surely conquer, and. for one, l will
fight them as long as I have life in
my body. We can respect armed
rebels, but home traitors we hate
My prayer to God is that the rebel
sympathizers and traitors will be
drafted. Nothing would / like better
than to be called North to clean out
the traitors to our Union. We hate
them more than our open enemy
Every traitor to the Union in this
perilous time ought to be hung on the
highest tree for birds to pick at
blackbirds and crows-or driven to
the depths of the ocean for sharks to
swallow. These are my sentiments.

A DIFFERENcE.-The following is
not bad to take, about these times -
I'm die for the Gag" cried Treasury clerk,
Quoth g soldier-"My patriot friend hook here
This shedding your blood for twelve dollars a mon
Amt like shedding red ink for twelve hundred 3
year.
UNINTENDED W1T.-The man who
makes a joke without intending it fre-
quentIy smuses us more than the most
ingenious of professional jokers-as
when a milkman was charged with
putting calves brains in his his milk,
he answered; 'Brains l never had
such thing in my head."'
1t was customary, years ago, to
publish from the pulpit, in Conneeti-
cut, bans Of matrimony. On one ocs
casion an old man rose and said-''I
forbid the BANS" On being asked to
state his objections, he replied-"I
had resarVed Dinah Curtis for myself. +"
The objection was not deemed ''good. !"
It was the same sort of case when
a iuryman having asked the judge to
excuse him from serving on account of
deafness, the latter said Couldn't
you hear the charge to the grand
jury ?" "Yes-I heard it, said the
man, but / couldn't make any sense
of it.
Writers in England suggest that a
heavy duty be put upon crinoline in
order to con6ne its use to the rich
only, so that servant girls and humble
people may be spared the danger of
getting burnt to death. The rich, We
suppose, are to be left to their own
destruction, for the benefit of their
heirs.
At a religions public meeting, not
long ago, speaker was illustrating
the ignorance that prevailed in the
country, and said that colporteur,
going with tracts into log house of
dweller on the Ohio, asked the
woman if they had the Gospel there.
She said "No but they have it
dreadful bad about four miles below. +"
Worse than this we have this week
a letter from chaplain in Arkansas,
who says that a man buying furs was
conversing with q woman at whose
house he called, and asked her, "If
there were any Presby terians around
there?" She hesitated little, and
said, "She guessed not; her husband
hadn't killed any since they had been
there.

The EARTH Is SAFE.-The London
Times says mankind are using up the
world too fast. Incessant cultivation
it is alleged, is stripping the earth of
its coat of mold, which cannot be re-
placed except by return to the
primeval forest. There are facts in
existence a little inconsistent with
that alarming statement. The plain
around Benares has certainly been
cultivated for three thousand years,
and is as rich as ever. The country
around Demascus was a garden in the
beginning Of history and is garden
now. No forest ever renewed tae soil
of Northern Italy, nor is the glorious
fertility of Asia Minor artificial. Dis.
tricts have, it is true, perished, but it
has always been from human folly,
the cutting down Of the trees till the
rain ceased and the we'll sank, as is
now occurring in some parts of Upper
India. When We conquered the Pun
iaub that yast province did not contain
one tree and in thirty years would
have become like the Babyionisn
desert, a sterile plain, and from the
same cause.

ABOUT CATTLE.-The way to sum-
mer your cattle well is to winter them
well and half the secret of good
wintering is to keep them warm
Animal heat is generated in proper
ton to the abundance and excellence
of their food. Exposure to the cold
air withdraws heat rapidly, and of
course makes more food necessary to
.re~supply it, just as an open door
makes it necessary to have more wood
in the stove. IF your stock is run
down IN the winter and come out lean
and feeble, all the summer will not
fully bring them in condition again.
