Resicnation of Chase.

The voluntary abandonment of the Ysnkee finances
by the man who has upheld them through 80 many Re-
verses in view of the circumstances in which takes
place, is most significant event. After herculean ex
ertione and opg series of expedients, which for bold
and vgor have parallel in history. he throws up
the helm and retres to the hold. 1t simply that
the chances OF saving tte ship are all gone and that
she must certainly go down and become mighty wreck.
The Richmond Whg, in commenting on the event,
phOsoph ises follows Chase is of real abll-
ity. He was in fact the ablest man connected with

than any other nancer ever had accomplished be-
fore. He succeeded for three years n keeping up the
value OF paper currency actually greater IN prcpor-
ton the wants of the community, than be-
fore known and which had expanded its volume with
rspdity entirely unparalleled in the annals of finances.
And the most remarkable feature of his Ca
reer is that he efscted this by system of
expedients, we will not say, principles directly
at variance with all the admitted doctrines of
monetary science. He knew very well that the crash
must come at last He knew that the vastly inflated
currency of the United States always intrinsicay

gold but be directed all the energies of his genius,

The Atlanta Appeal has the following upon the
possible movements of the two armies in that neghbor
hood:
The paramount consideration with General Johnston
at this time is the preservation of his army and we
have idea that he would hazard lis existence IN Inc
defence of Atlanta or any other particular place when
may be subsequently wrested from the possession OF the
invader While it is perpexing, we'll humiliating,
that much OF our territory aud many of our towns
and cities surrendered to the enemy, it doubt
the wisest policy when cOntrasted with that OF
saving and preserving armies. These the country
cannot afford to ose and must be preserved at the ex
pense of territory and everything else. Recognizing
this truth, let then acquiesce in the military
ty which may, for the time being, drive from pillar
post subject to the temporary rule of cur des
pissed and hated invaders. Even it Atlanta must be
given up which do not believe, We feel that Sher
man is whipped man the day be enters the town. He
cannot and wild not be permitted to hold his position
here In the heart of enemys country, and so lar
from bis base of supplies. He will not be here long be-
fore he will begin seriously to study his lines of retreat.
With this conviction our mind, we shall not enter
