We do not know but that at the present
time. it would be far more honest and
statesmanlike to clip or alloy the gold coin,
han to debase any further the paltry trash
that soils your hands, dirties your pockets,
and feels Shiny to the touch with its own
intrinsic worthlessness. The depreciation
OF gold would mostly effect those hooked
nosed gentlemen who flock aud scratch
like buzzards around Wall street; but to
let the miscegenating economy of the ma
tlonal mint perpetrate any further baseness
on the little mixed pennies, would be a d.
rect TAX and most unwarrantable assess
ment on every old apple woman and can
dy-loving urchin in the land.
Had Mr.. CHASE few years ago gone
over to England with his pockets full of
such trash as be proposes to coin for the
boys, and attempted to pass them in
change, he would have been met with
some old statutes which declare that none
shall be so hardy as to bring into that
realm any "pollards or crockards," or
other i'll money, on pain of forfeiture of
life, and halter, perhaps, would have
prevented his noble head from gracing the
vignette of our one dollar greenbacks. So
had THURLow WEED chad he made his
late visit to the mother land forty
years sooner undertaken to pur-
chase roll of gingerbread with
any such alloy as these new cents are to
be, he too would have encountered the
penalties of an old law which forbad the
introduction or circulation of any gally
halt-pence, fuskins, dotkins or blanks, and
would have forfeited at least sixteen dol
lars of the hard earned gains which had
rewarded his patriotic exertions to supply
the government with vessels and NUM-
tiOns of war
To round off the subject we think that
Uncle Sam had better let the small change
alone and strive on the other hand to see
how near in value he can make the cal
mighty dollar - to that which it assumes
to possess. This is no time for the Gov
eminent to stop to count or take care of
the cents since the other part of FRANK
Inns maxim is not being verified Just now
by any particular instance of Uncle Sans
dollars taking care of themselves

Appeal for White Refugees at Cairo.

We ask careful reading of extracts,
elsewhere published, from an appeal in
behalf of White Refugees at Cairo. Our
citizens have contributed literally for the
freedmen, and it is believed they will be
willing to contribute SO nething for those
who have been bereft of all their worldly
possessions, for the sake of the Union.
The gentlemen, whose names are append
ed to the Appeal, are known to be of high
personal character, and goods or money
transmitted to them will be faithfully ap-
piled to the purposes designated in their
circular.

senator WilkinsoM's Charges Against
Gen. Meade.

A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune says it is stated authoritatively
that the order to retreat from Gettysburg
after the first days fight, proved before
the Committee on the Conduct of the
War to have been given by Gen. MEADE,
was issued before he reached Gettysburg,
upon the supposition that the enemy adj
vanced upon him for the purpose of giving
battle. General MEADE selected favorable
ground some miles east of Gettysburg,
upon which he meant to await the ap-
proach of the rebel army, and directed
the troops in advance to fall back to it
Upon reaching Gettysburg, however, he
satisfied himself of the superiority OF po-
sition held by our troops near town, and
determined to give battle from it, and
countermanded his previous orders
y In addition to the above we have the
following explicit contradiction of WILKIN-
SONS statement, addressed to the Phila-
delphia Bulletin by Gen. GIBBoN:
To the Editors of the Philadelphia Bulletin:
There is no truth in the statement recently
published in the New York Tribune, that one
Of the corps commanders at the battle OF Get
tysburg had in his pocket on the I'd of July an
order from Gen. Meade directing the army to
retreat. Very respectfully, ;a su'f

Major General Buell..
A Washington dispatch to the 7rib

A Washington dispatch to the Tribune
says:
1t has long been matter of surprise to mill
tary circles that the finding of the Committee
to investigate the conduct of Gen. Buell. has
never been made public. 1t now appears that
the delay was accidental.
The Committee pronounced Gen. Buell. free
from all blame ard it is due to him to say that
he has borne unintended injustice of improved
imputations upon his military capacity and
loyalty without o murmur.
It strikes US the above is poor apology
for having driven one of our ablest GEN
erals from the service by the most afro
cious falsehOOds ever uttered.

garded as sort of mendicants, merely be-
cause they are dependent on the voluntary
system. Hence the clerical Office COM
mands little consideration; and as a nat
ural consequence, religion sits lightly on
the people, and exerts little influence on
their conduct. We hope to zee the time
when the support of devoted pastors of
churches will be regarded more in thelight
of duty, and less, as charity.

The Quota Of the State..What Will
be Done with the Exc ess ofTOyYns.

Wepublish elsewhere the quotas, cred
its and deficiencies of the towns in the
each Congressional District, as furnished
by the Adjutant General.
The following is a summary of the total
quotas, the number of men furnished and
the deficiency in each District ON the LIST
day of March 1864.
.s.. ono,.s Furnished, Msn Deficiency accS :
First District. =. s674 7431 1913
Second District. $3.50 1896 s74
'I.3 ;i.l 1908 1926 2117 =.
Many towns have furnished an excess of
volunteers over the number required Of
them. The aggregate Of excuses in each
district is as follows. ..,
First District Observation-Disclosures. 7S2
Second District. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 644
Total. .......... .I4z|
1t will be perceived that the aggregate
amount of deficiencies in the sub-dstricts
exceed by tar the amount due from each
Congressional District. The State at large
is not supposed to furnish an amount of
volunteers greater than the proper proper
ton fixed by the War Department. We
learn from Provost Marshal AvRRILL, that
a distribution will therefore be made
of the amount of excuses furnished
by the several towns in proper
ton to the deficiencies of other
towns This distribution is not to be con-
sidered as gift from one town to an
other, but simply as loan, to make out
the quota Of the State. If no other draft
should be made, of course it would result
in gift. But in the event of another
call for volunteers or drafted men, these
same excuses will be credited to the
towns that now furnish them, and the pres
ent recipients will be called upon to fur
nish these excuses in addition to their res
pective quotas.
Towns In arrears can determine easily
the number of men required of them I'M
der this arrangement In the First Dis
trict deduct IS per cent. from the def
cheney as given by the Adjutant General !;
and in the Second District 40 per cent.
We learn also from the Provost Mar
shall, that the assignment of quotas is
made by the Board of Enrolment, but it
is probable they will agree very nearly with
those fixed by the Adjutant General. All
further enlistments are to be deducted up
to the hour of drafting. The following re-
cruits were mustered in from the First
District on and before February 20, but
not credited by the Adjutant General in
