thus conferred was we'll nigh unanimously

with unanimity unparalleled in the histo-

A Warming 10 Spectators.

Mr.. McCulloch, the Comptroller of the
Currency, writing with full sense of the
meaning which his words must convey to the
country, has publicly impressed those
charged with the management of National
Banks the necessity Of bearing in mind that,
although the loyal States appear superici-
ally to be IN a prosperous condition, such is
not the fact" This is his language: 49,.
Bear constantly in mind, although the,
loyal States APPEAR superJfcially to Be IN a.
prosperous condition.. THAT SUCH IS NOT THE
FACT. That while the Government is enga-
ged in the suppression of rebellion oe un-
exampled felceness and magnitude, and is
constantly draining the country of its labor
ing and producing population, and dioer9in9
its mechanical industry from soorks Of per-
manent palus to the construction Of inspls-
ments Of soartare while cities are crowded,
and the country is to the same extent deple-
ted, and Waste and ertraoGance prool as
they neoer before prepailed in the United
States THE NATION. WHATEVER NAY BE THE
EXTERNAL INDICATION, IS NOT PRosPERrNG.
The war in which we are, involved is .
stern necessity, and must be prosecuted for
the preservation Of the Government, no mat
ter what may be its cost !; but the country
|,o;H unquestiona5y Be tie poorer euery day
it Is continued. The sseming prosperity of
the loyal States is owing mainly to the large
expenditures Of the Government and the re-
dundant currency which these expenditures
seem to render necessary. t.r.,
Keep these facts constantly in mind, and
manage the affairs Of your respective banks
With perfect consciousness that the appar-,
ent prosperity Of the country will be proved
to be unreal when the war is. closed, If not
before; and be prepared, by careful manage
ment Of the trust committed to you, to help
save the nation from q financial collapse, in
stead of lending your influence to make it
more certain AMI more severe.

son Davis and those who are holding up
his hands in Richmond. Sir, this is not the
result Of accident. The speeches are too
numerous and the practice too uniform to
admit of any such explanation. Sympathy
with rebels and traitors alone could produce
such q shameful and extraordinary result.

sured that the people will fully understand
It, and properly dispose of its author. 5

Il An Euglishman from Savannah. Ga, xho
has just arrived at Fortress Monroe, bears
valuable testimony to the efficiency Of the
blockade. The stores in Savannah are near
ly all closed, the stock of goods having been
exhausted and further supply not being OBJ
tainable. He went Rrst to Florida, think
ing to escape to Nassau on blockaderun :.
ner; but he found every chink of the coast
closed, and he was forced 70 return. he was
in Charleston two weeks ago. The city was
entirely deserted BY the inhabitants, and
hundreds of houses had been destroyed by
shells from Gillmore's batteries. At VIII.
.mington he found the blockade running bus
mess nearly dead--so nearly, that the pros,
pect Of getting away from he",onfederacy"
by that avenue was very remote, and he was
obliged to GO to Richmond.
