why It was DislOyal to Oppose

The Cincinnati correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, who is understood to be one
Of the editors Of the Commercial, telegraph
ed that paper under date Of Friday LAST
There is a petition being circulated in the
city, asking for signatures to amend the law
allowing Collectors such enormous fees
Our Collector here fobbed over $50 1000 on
one cotton transaction not long since.
No wonder Collector HoRNBRooK and his
underlings curse the DAILY REGISTER as
"disloyal" for attempting to overthrow a
systsm which permits such "fat pickings"
at the EXPENSE of a tax ridden and oppress'
ed people.
When you hear a man blowing loudly
about " loyalty" "the last man and last
dollar" and denouncing everybody who
does not chime in with him, as being "Cop-
ippeerheads and traitors" it is pretty safe to
assume that there is somcs stealing going on
somewhere, and that the par excellence spa
triot" hiss a wholesome fear that his rascal
ity is about to be exposed. Straws don't
show which way the wind blows with more
unerring certainty than do these signs point
out sinking corruption. When you hear a
man questioning his neighbours loyalty,
watch him: he will bear it.

WAR DEPARTMENT, RICHMOND Jan. 10,
ls64.-General:-Thanks for your sugges
tons: they will be attended to. We have
virtu lily abandoned all territory west of the
Mississippi. Our leaders in Arkansas,
Texas and Louisiana are left mainly to act,
according to the dictates of their own
judgement. Our strategy in future must
be OF the simplest and most rational sort (;
our operations defensive. We have lost
much in Tennessee, but your hopes are we'll
placed: it will not be neglected. The enemy
is strengthening his armies; so are we. Men
seem to spring out of the earth under q
new CONSUMPTION system, but very many
are not fit for service. The President will
reinforce Longstreet and johnson first and
then Lee will get what he wants. ...L.
The latter will have command of his own
and Longstreet's army. Johnson will di
rect his own army. as will Be%auregard.-
The three armies will be put in as perfect a
state of efficiency as possible. Partisan
warfare will be rendered. Longstreet will
move into East Tennessee; Johnston will
CO operate; Lee will still hold the enemy's
best army inthe slough. am' told that
Thomas has urged Lincoln to move up the
James River-his old home; but Butler is
not competent, and has not over 10000
men. SO you see we can prolong the war,
and that is what We want to do. The
enemy does not want it TO end yet either
We will be accommodating. We are pinched
now, and suffer much, but reliefis near at
hand. Cheer your men; tell them that they
will be with Longstreet soon, marching on
to ourlCauaan.
Foster is a top, l knew him at West
Point. You can handle him YOURSELF
Fortunately the enemy has nc great Gen.
eral at Washington or in the field. Grant
has been lucky, SO has Meade the latter

Condition of the Country.

The following passage appears in a circu'
lar pamphlet: just addressed to the mana
gers of the National Banks, by Mr.. McCUL'
LoUGH, Comptroller Of the Currency. 1t is
dated atWashington, December Goth, 1868
1t is so tentirely in correspondence with
the views upon the financial condition and
prospects of the country frequently urged
in the DAILY REGISTER, that we trust, under
cover of such an authority, to be complete
ly e~xhonorated from the charge of "disloy
atty" heretofore brought against US for ex
pressing them. We respectfully call the
attention of our most genial friend PERMIT
H%oRNBRooK to the extract. The exposition
of Mr.. MCCULLOUGH is of portentous sig
n%ifcance:
CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY.
Bear constantly in mind, although the
loyal States appear specifically to be in a
prosperous condition, that such is not the
fact. That while the government is engag.
ed in the suppression of a rebellion of I'M
~exampled ierceness and magnitude, and is
constantly draining the country cf It's la
boring and producing population, and
divertiugit its mechanicalindustry from works
of permanent value to the construction of
implements of warfare; while cities are
crowded, and the country is to the same
extent depleted, and waste and extrava-
gauce prevail as they never before prevailed
in the United States, tho nation, whatever
may be the external indications, is not pros
pering.
The war in which we are involved is a
stern necessity, and must be prosecuted for
the preservation of the government, no
matter what may be its cost; but the coun
try will unquestionably be the poorer every
day it is continued. The seeming prosperity
of the loyal States is owing mainly to the
large expenditures of the government, and
the redundant currency which these expen.
ditures seem to render necessary. Tes'-
these facts constantly in mimi. and
manage the affairs of your respective banks
with a perfect consciousness that the
apparent prosperity of the country will be
proved to be unreal when the war is closed.

management Of the trust committed to YOU.
to help to a v the nation from a financial
collapse, instead Of lending your influence
