GREENBACKS.

We have repeatedly been called upon by eiti-
zens who are more directly than others interest
ed in the financial condition of tine country, and
for the transaction of whose business plentiful
supply Of ready money is necessary, to advocate
the policy Of making greenbacks the common
circulating medium, and the base of business
transactions instead OF gold. Our principal rea-
son for not having done 50. i that we have not
made the amount OF research into the question TO
qualify us to place the matter in aclear and salts
factory light before our readers, and are doubtful
of our ability TO advance arguments sufficiently
cosent TO induce them TO readily Sdopt radical
change in the character Of the currency. The
mass OF this community have been accustomed
for many years to a gold and silver circulating
medium, and to suddenly abandon that and adopt
another would be a revolution in all the business
relations OF the Territory. that strong arguments
will be needed TO accomplish. That some step
which will have the effect Of loosening the purse
strings of capitalists and throwing more money
into the business channels. IS something that the
business of the Territory Is suffering for the want
OF, is q plain case Whether the proposed adop'
ton of currency notes Is the general circulating
medium will have the desired effect, we are not
sufficiently posted in the mysteries Of financial
theories TO urge an opinion. The matter has been
much talked of lately in business circles, and we
perceive that the Virginia stock market have had
the subject under consideration. and committee
consisting of Thomas Barclay, II. II. FlaSS, Mon
roe Thompson. Clement 7. Rice, 7. B. Fowler, J.

Of the washoe Stock and Exchange Board rela-

advantages to be derived from the proposed
change in the currency. We await their motion

NEW YORK, May lS.-Passengers state that
the engagement off Charlestown Of terrific
character. The batteries on Morris Island were
directed against Sumter and also the fire of sew
cral monitors. The attack was to have been
made week earlier, but requisite preparations
for Il had not been completed Sumter had been
effectively repaired as IL was thought the strong
est rebel fire came from it.
A Newborn letter states that Lee was drawing
all the rebel forces from North Carolina; troops
were consequently passing over the North Caro-
lima roads TO reinforce him.
A dispatch from the Army of the Potomac says
all was very quiet yesterday along the lines, eS-
cept some sSirmishing in the center by Burnside
men and the throwing Of few shells from Birds
division, TO feel the enemy, which, however, eX-
cited no response.

A correspondent Of the Herald, from Chester

Smith and Gilmore's advance on Richmond, state
that they executed well conceived mannuvre,
which placed the men more in position to flank
than 20 take the line Of Entertainments stretching
from West Richmond and Petersburg. The rail
road from James river, the second line into which
the rebels retreated, was next day attacked and
found 20 be much stronger, so il was finally car
ried by Storm and the rebels driven in closer
works on the left. II was expected that they
would be easily dislodged from this position,
when it was believed that forces would be
west of all Notifications, with u clear road to
Richmond, which is only eight miles off.
Petersburg papers are very Respondent, though
claiming victories But a loss Of seven Brigadiers
and forty Colonies Is admitted which indicates an
immense loss of enlisted men. Besuregard, by

sYlEEMiN,g PROGRESS.

Rebel accounts Of Gen. Shermans movements
are two days later than those given on Sa'ur-
day. but they contain little additional inlorma-
ton. by far the most Significant news is from
Savannah, received here by one of the steamers
with exchanged prisoners. Her dates are to the
18th, and her captain reports that the
exchange of prisoners at Savannah had
ceased because sherman had cut the rail-
road on which those prisoners were TO be
transported. II is added iniercntially that
Sherman has released the rest of our men, "as
he was only about six hours march from the
stockades when the men who arrived III the
Herman Livingston left them" Where those
stockades were no hint is given. The changes
in the location Of our prisoners have been so
frequent of late thatit is not easy to trace them,
but we know tia, q considerable body were at
Milen, railroad station at the junction OF the
railways to Macon and Augusta, and which at
that point unite in one line TO Savannah. But
it is scarcely possible that any portion of Sher-
mans forces, excepting cavalry, should have
rot so far east as Millen at that time.
1t seems TO be clear that Millcdgevillc has
been captured and the Macon road cut near
Gordon. The Richmond Dispatch Of the Goth
afirms that on the 9th Sherman was still west
Of the Oconee: that is, still in or near Mlledge-
vile, since the Oconee flows almost through the
suburbs Of that town. Bat any positive asser-
ton Of a Richmond paper On such point is to
be received with incredulity, and as Sherman
seems certainly to have taken Alilledgeyille TIVE
days, and perhaps three, before, it is extremely
improbable that he sent not even cavalry beyond
the river. Why should he halt on the bank oi
a river which he could cross with pontoons in q
few hours,
Thus far the Rebel le!cnscs against Sherman
seem to be confined to proclamationS. We
have had two from Beaurccard, one from Hill,
one from Gov. Brown, one from Howell Cobb,
one from the Governor OF South Carolina, and
we know not how many more. II is clear the
Georgians require a great deal Of urging.
Cobb's order enrolls every man III the State, but
even Cobb must know that Il militia levied IN
such circumstances is worthless. And so FAR
as present information goes, there is no organ
lied Rebel force exceeding FIVE thousand men in
the State Of Georgia. The report of an attack
upon Augusta and repulse Of our troops are
manifestly moonshnc.

instead of the eight per cent, required this year,
lot it he imposed and collected. We could have
better afforded to pay eighty per cent than to
have had the Currency what it has been for the
last year.
We object, then, to raising salaries as a con-
tession OF National Bankruptcy-a betrayal of
hopeless financial insolvency. We cannot as
sent to this. If every owner of Real Estate had
been required for the last two years, to pay an
Income Tax Of twenty-five per cent, and the
Currency had thereby been kept nearly at par,
every such owner would have been richer than
he is to-day. Now, then, instead of lying down
in the slough of deSpOnd, We propose bold,
vigorous and unanimous effort to get out. Let
US raise no salaries; but let US resolve. that
every salary paid-whether to a Government
clerk or any body elsc-shall be worth to him
eighty If not ninety cents on the dollar while
the War lasts and one hundred cents the day
after we shall have conquered Peace. That
is The true way TO redress the grievance OF thi
clerks, and we can consent TO no other.
