SUGGESTIONS ASn IDEAS FOR Mn. FEssESDEx.
10 another column will be found an important
and interesting letter on finance and fnanciers,
written TO Mr.. Fessenden, Secretary OF the
Treasury, by a resident OF this city, who has
made the subject Of finance his study for many
years. IL contains many valuable sugges.
tons, and we trust that our 6nanciers, and
especially Mr.. Fessenden, and all who have
anything to do in shaping the financial course
OF the government, will carefully read, con-
slider and examine into the plans proposed to
relieve the country from ita present financial
embarrassment

The IMPERIAL FILIBUsTER IN MExIC0.--The
news received from Mexico confirms the pre-
vious intelligence forwarded to US by our
determined to resist to the last the subverson
of their government into an imperial French
and Austrian colony, and have the means, the
men and the will to carry ont their design, or
Ut any rate. resist their invaders with despera-
ton. Macmillan has commenced with fire.
works, music and hurrahs. He must, ere he
can govern Mexico, use cannon, large armies,
and hear the death groans Of the people over
whom he has usurped an authority which they
refuse to admit The Franco Mexican journals
vainly endesvor to paliiate or deny the real
position Of affairs 10 Mexico. The facts are
such as prove that, beyond small portion Of
the country which is garrisoned by the French,
Mexico is still true TO her republican institu-
tons: ALSO that the new empire is bankrupt;
that 1t vainiy seeks to bride into a tardy ad-
hesion the Mexican generals, and that, with all
his flourish and fine speeches. Macmillan is as
yet merely partially successful fibuster. IA
The Franco-Mexican organ published in this
city perseveres in It's contradictions OF the
statements OF our. correspopdent We expected
thie, as from the commencement OF the rebel
lion this journal has done all it could to injure
our government and exalt France. AS the
Mexican scheme originated with Napoleon, OF
course the French Journal published here will
be in favor OF the new empire, will advocate
Macmillan, and will writhe and groan at
our exposure OF his difficulties. The de-
mails OF this journal will be all the
more vehement as the exposure is hurt
full to the interests OF its French master:
and 1t will endeavor, by abuse and re.
elimination, to lessen its effect; but this course
will not alter facts, nor will 1t FIX Macmillan s
shaky crown any the more firmly upon his brow.
In Europe, as here, it will be generally appre-
ciated that the Mexican scheme is q fail
urc; that ere Napoleon can expect ps success
be must borrow more money to spend In its
prosecution, send more troops to perish by
disease and the weapons OF the people they
seek TO conquer, and even then be at last igno.
miniously driven of this continent by the
government OF the United States.

The now Secretary OF the Treasury g.
sumed tho duties Of his ONCE 1t time when q
splendid opportunity presented itself for the
display Of administrative and financial ability.
He succeeded politician who had proved him
self both corrupt and Incompetent, and who
had speculated with the fortunes Of the country
till bankruptcy and Reputation began to loom
upon the national horizon. He had reduced
W., in little more than three years, from .
highly prosperous and solvent people to such
aposition OF embarrassment that our debts were
eighteen hundred millions OF dollars, 'aad our
currency dollar worth only thirty-ave cents,
+, while the Golfers Of the Treasury were nearly
empty and debt was increasing upon us at the
rate Of nearly three millions per day. Mr..
Fessenden came to New York to open ncgotia-
tions with the Representatives of our State
banks, who were all anxious to meet his views
to the best of their ability. and he held inter-
views with them day after day for week, and
they offered to lend him fifty millions Of dollars,
payable as soon as they could get the money,
merely asking him meanwhile to allow the loan
to stand over us an inscribed credit on their
books till such time as the necessities Of the
Treasury might require him to draw upon
them for it in instalments. But, forsooth, be-
cause the law, according to its strictly literal
Interpretation, docs not authorize the Secretary
to constitute them repositories OF the Treasury
funds to the extent of their loans to the gov
eminent Mr.. Fcssenden declines to accept
their proposal. This may be law, but it
is not craftsmanship. He is willing enough
to accept the money from the State banks,
but he hesitates to make them Repositories,
and SO he allows the negotiations to drop with
barren result.
We can, however, tell Mr.. Fessendcn that
this is not the policy which will restore the
finances Of this country to the position
in which they ought to stand to-day.
1t will not do for him to speculate upon
consequences, and adhere to the Chase
theory at the expense Of the nation !;
and most assuredy, il Mr.. Fessenden does not
take warning by the fate Of Mr.. Chase, he will
plunge the country into still deeper ruin than
we find it in at present We shall have more
currency, more imitation, more reckless and
hurtful speculation in the necessaries Of life,
still worse financial confusion, aud his own
utter failure as q financier to cap the climax.

LEASs.-The intelligence from New Orleans
which we this morning publish in another
column 10 worthy of attention. In the first
place, the after dinner speech Of Major General
Banks aud the response of Mr.. Roselius to the
sentiments uttered by the former at the legal
reunion In that city on the 9Th inst. are
significant, to say the least of them. Gene
raj Banks, in closing his speech, declared that il
was 1.-The duty of the people to make such sa-
CRITICS. In the field Of battle as success may de-
mand;" but that "the settcmens OF our diff
cuties must proceed from the moral power Of
this country, which is greater and more efica-
cicus than the sword" This sentiment was
thoroughly endorsed by subsequent speakers,
and Mr.. Roselius, among other things, declared
that 1.-The power OF the United States is not that
OF the sword, but that Of the pen, or, in other
words, the moral power-the judgment Of the
people;n and then adds:--"The sooner these
brave and valiant defenders Of our country are
again permitted TO exchange the sword for the
pen, the better 1t will be for you aud your
country The marked sensation that followed
the utterance of these sentiments, and the APP
proval that greeted them, render them worthy
Of attention. That they mean more than is
seen on the surface is plainly evident.
The statements made BY our New Orleans
correspondent In regard to the numerous
plantations that have been abandoned by the
planters Of the South, the efforts made and the
failure Of all the plans adopted to manage
these plantations, as we'll az the operations Of
the numerous agents OF the Treasury Depart
ment in that section, we also commend to the
attention Of our readers There ID evidently q
problem to solve In connection with this ques.
ton which the authorities at Washington have
thus far failed to comprehend. 1t is destined
to be a source OF trouble and annoyance until
some statesmanlike mind comes to the rescue
with practical ideas IN regard to it. As il is
now managed failure, disaster and annoyance
cannot fail 70 be the results.
