The necessity Of providing means to pay
their taxes will make them. let 60 their sur
plus supplies, and pat them on the market.
The figures which we have given, should
teach the holders Of Confederate money not
to unaersate IL, or to consider its value as
diminished, by the late laws At present,
there seems sort Of inconsiderate and sense
less panic. which is sending victims in
crowds to the nets Of the SPECTATORS. Per-
sons are. without necessity, paying out, in
enormous prices, the very money which
they should be investing in bonds to pay
their taxes Even the money which they
need nos thus appropriate, ard which is to
be taxed one third its face, after the 1st Of
April, should not be layished away for tho
diminished circulation diminished by the
previous funding, and diminised still further
by the April tax will make the residue
much more valuable tsan The full amount
before the passage of the law.
Our inference is this: Every one should
estimate the amount of his taxes for the year,
and fund at once at least enough to meet
u IN. And all purchasers. who can, ought
TO keep out Of the market Just now. The
coming demand for money, and its conse-
quent increasing value will kill the pres
eat panic in two or three weeks, aud prices
will descend. To those who desire to get
high prices. the present is the opportunity.
Men will regain their composure Ia short
time, aud then they will see the folly Of those
who are now throwing away their money in
their anxiety togetrid fis.
Oae word as to our future circulation
Some are supposing that the new law gives
unlimited power to make new emissions, and
anticipate. therefore. that the coming depls-
ton will be followed by redundancy equal
to the present. This is an error. Section
9Th prohibits the issue of new notes, except
to two thirds Of the amount of the old notes
taken in, whether by funding or exchange.
The highest limit, therefore, to which the
currency cnn hereafter attain is tUo third
Of its present magnitude, The means for
carrying Oh the Government, if the taxes
prove insufficient. are to be obtained by the
sale OF bonds (see sections and y and by
certificates Of Indebtedness (see section

Preserve This Paper.

We publish for the especial benefit
Of our readers in this issue Ct the Vim
dicator the Currency, Tax aud Mill
tary bills, passed by Congress upon
the eve Of its adjournment, and sug-
gest that all into whose hands the pa
per may fall would do well to preserve
it for future reference. Though these
bills appear harsh in some instances
it is not to be expected that any laws
can be enacted which will in all cases
be exactly equal in their operation
It is then the duty Of all, no matter
what flaws they may SEER these bills,
togive them hearty support. and eff
feet, BY their prompt and speedy COM
pliance with them, the object sought
for by Congressional legislation We
expect shortly to see much more
pleasant state of things than we have
witnessed for some time past-in fact
we see evidences Of it now.
