HENRY CLAY Upon CIVIL WAR.--If there
be any who want civil war-who want to
see blood of any portion of orr country
men spilled am not one of them. ! wish
20 see war of no kind; but above all LIDO
not desire to see civil war. When war
begins, whether civil or foreign, no human
sight is competent TO see when, or how, it
is to terminate. But when civil war
shall be lighted up in the bosom OF our own
happy land, and odr armies are marching,
and commanders are winning their vlcto
ries, and fleets are in motion on our coast,
tell me, if you can, tell me if any human
being can fell its duration. God alone
knows where such war would end In
what state will he left our institutions? In
what state our liberties p In Senate Feb.

IMMEDIATELY after the funeral services o
Archbishop Hughes, in the Cathedral, the
suffragan bishops of the archdiocese met in
council, and, in accordance with the GUS
tom, sent forward to Rome three names
for the successorship to the archbishopric-
Bishop Bailey, of New Jersey, dignus ;
Bishop Timon, of Buffalo, diynio'; Bishop
McCloskay, of Albany, dignissimus. The
latter will undoubtedly be chosen. He was
formerly coadjutor of Now York with the
right of succession, which was changed
when the new see Of Albany was created.
He is learned and eloquent prelate, and
is a native of this state, having been born
in Brooklyn.

A Species of Reputation Ad-
VOcated by the Governor of
PennSYIyania.

Governor Curtin, of Penn, ia his recent
message to tie Legislature, says the whole
indebtedness of the State amounts tothrty-
nine and one.half millions of dollars, the
interest on which has hitherto been paid in
coin. But he recommends that the interest
be hereafter paid in greenbacks. lie exr
presses the opinion that the Commonwealth
will have fulfilled her obligations to her
creditors by providing for the payment of
interest in the currenc, of the Government.
He deems the policy of payins coin to for
eign and currency TO domestic loan holders
as wholly unwise, and founded on no leglt-
innate principle.
This is but one of the shadows of COM
ing events. Why have two currences? AS
Mr.. Chase wrote to a citizen of Nevada
Territory: Why not make the legal tender
notes the standard value instead OF gold and
silver? If the notes of the Government are
as firm and durable as the Government it.
self, why snou they be treated by
the Government as inferior currency?-
When the Government issues bond and
inserts therein clause TO pay principal and
interest, or either, in gold, 1t thereby dis
credits it's own currency. The great object
to be accomplished by Mr. Chase, iu fin
ancial point of view, is to make greenbacks
the standard Of value. Until he can do that,
he can impart to his currency no stable in
dividuaity Governor Curtin sees that, and
therefore recommends that the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania pay the interest on
its thirty nine and one half millions of in
debtedness in the paper currency of the
Federal Government. He desires that the
greenbacks be made the standard of value,
and not gold and silver.
But the event which that foreshadows Is
reputation. 1t commenced with individu-
ais. Persons who had contracted to pay
debts in coin, have been enabled to pay
them in paper currency, at discount of
thirty three per cent thus repudiating one
,hird of their Indebtedness. States follow
next in repudating one third or one half Of
their indebtedness. How long will it be,
under the influence of such general demor-
alizatiou, that the General Government will
refrain, and count gold and silver superior
to its own issues2 This conflict can not
be long protracted. The Government will
have to mete TO itself and to its creditors
the same measure which it demands shall
be used between citizen and citizen. And
to that it is evident we are more rapidly
approaching than many suppose. The Gov
ernment, on all its six per cent bonds is to.
day paying at the rate of between thirteen
aud fourteen per cent. per annum in green
backs, or in its Own currency. How long
will that last2 How long can it last2--

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

On Thursday the Senate had under de.
hate the Conscrption Act all day, and came
n ;mportant conclusions thereon. A vote
~ strike out the commutation clause failed
nv more than two to one; as also all efforts
=, increase the communication from $500 to
s4OO or $500. So this important clause
remains in the Iawas originally passed last
session. Its retention by the House is
equally certain, and it may, therefore, be
considered settled. Amendments exempt
ing clergymen and non. .combatants were
passsd.
The House in Committee of the Whole
had under consideration bill reported
from the Committee of Ways and Means,
providing for an increased tax on spirits
and cotton Mr. Stevens, Chairman of the
Committee, recommended that the increase
of the tax proposed should apply to spirits
manufactured before the present law, pro-
viding for tax of twenty cents when it
went into effect. This is important to ma
ny holders.
The War Department reported its cen.
tingent expens es for the last year at
one hundred aud ssvepty-six thousand
dollars.
Delegations representing the largest to
bacco interests in the United States were
before the Committee on Ways and Means
They submitted to the committee mass o.
important statistics touching this subject
They all agreed that the tax ought to be
upon the manufactured article, aud not upon
leaf. --.
The President has approved and signed
the act extending the bounties to the first
OF March.

THE constant charge of conditional
Unionism," which was so often hurled at
their opponente, is now fixed firmly on the
entire radical party. They are conditional
Unionists" according to their own confes-
sions, and real disunionists beyond any
doubt. They are in favor of driving out
of the Union every State which will not
abolish slavery. If, after conquering the
rebellion there should be any prospect of
being able to restore the peaceful and pros
porous relations heretofore existing between
the States, the radical party are pledged to
obstruct and oppose any attempt to do SO,
except on condition of compelling the peo-
pie of the South to adopt a social system
dictated by the people of the North. This
is a plain abatement of the fact.-Jo"'1'al

Mn SrryrNs hoe introduced q hill

Mr.. STEVENS has introduced bill into
to Congress which provides that all the ter
ritory of the so called Confederate States
which has been or may be conquered and
subdued by the Federal arms, all laws and
parts of laws which permit slavery are
henceforth abolished. and that slavery shall
never again be established within the said
territory; and that hereafter no portion OF
it shall be admitted into the Union as a
State, or be represented in its Congress ex-
cept by delegates, if the same should be au
tborized, until the people within tie terri
tory forming such State SHALL by its organic
law, forever prohibit slavery therein.

The Sea of GalliIee.

How sacred are its many essociatlons!- =
We wander along its silent shore; we gaze
around on the beautiful scenery that enyi-
rons it beautiful bosom The fig tree, bends
over the projecting rocks the glittering
spray sparkle on the smooth sea; and we
almost hear the soft ripples of-the rolling
waves. We are filled with emotions of Joy
and gratitude, and our thoughts arise to
Him "whose way is in the sea, whose path
is in the great waters, and whose footsteps
are not known"
But alas how changed the scene Dark
thunder clouds are hoverlng overi its waters.
Angry gusts of wind lash into fury its
former peaceful waves By the lightning's
glare, We discern frail bark struggling for
life amid the foaming billows; and, as its
flashes tighten the gloom, the affrighted
disciples watch the Form that is securely
and serenely walking upon the watery waste
toward their sinking bark; but when they
hear the well known accents of the Savior's
voice, ut is l, be not afraid" their fear
gives way to emotions of confidence and
jos.- And thus it is in all our affection
If we keep our mind fixed on Christ, we
will not sink beneath the deep waters.
