The Crisis is Coming.


The currency Of the Confederate
States. which rapidly sunk into de-
probation, was tire theme Of the
Northern press. some time back
Tho want Of confidence in our cur
rency was paradcd before the eyes
ofthe people of the Federal Govern.
mcnt, as an evident sign of the sud
den downfall Of the Confederasy. /,
is true that our people valued the
currency of their country as al;nos,
worthless, yet improvements have
and will continue to take place.
How is it now with greenbacks
The Lincoln Government by shrewd
plans managed to keep its paper a,
fair staadard-managcd principal.
ly by thrusting government gold into
the market, thereby coming in cppo,
silion to money brokers, at certain
important periods. This system
worked admirably Will it l.sted
and Chase WAS viewed in the light
Of Il great tinancier. There is say
ing among seancn, that rats will
leave a si..king vessel, and should
sailors observe the rats leaving ,Aeir
ship at port. prior to the departure
OF their vessel, as Il general rule they
VIII refuse to ship on her. This is
applicable to the knowing Chase. be
sees the inevitable fate of greenbacks,
and like q good sailor he unships
himself, leaving it to Others to shout
der the approaching outburst Of pop
uiar feeling, when the storm breaks
over them in all its terror. t'.ss.n-
den Of Maine has been appointed,
but with the gloomy prospects ahead,
it is thought he will no, accept
Glasses Seat. and in anticipation Of
the fact. Todd, OF Ohio, is spoken Of
a. most most likely to be placed in
the position.
The rapidly with which the pre-
c!ous coin has risen, shows couclu-
s;vsly that it is a matter of impossi
bility 70 keep up with its rapid
strides; and s. excited and unsettled
is The market, that hollers Of goods
are withdrawing their articles from
the counter, rather than risk the
chances. Gold in New York is q IS
premium! The long looked for mo.
ment is nearing, and bankruptc v
stares them in the face. and they
feel it. The crash will be terrific.
and We look forward with eagerne. :
to witness the result. When articles
of necessity cannot be purchased for
greenhacks, and cotton. and foreign
goods, and groceries, are taken from
the market. people will commence to
reflect. and their suspicious be fully
aroused. The finale then presents
itself. Let the readers Of the News"
like its editor. b. OF good cheer, and
hope for the best.

WASHINGTON. April %.
The discussion last evening on the bill to
refund 100000 of the war expenditure to
Pennsylvania took much wider range upon
a substitute offered by Mr.. Blaine, of Me-,
providing for the appointment of Commit
tee to ascertain the war debts of all the loyal
States, with a view to their ultimate assump-
ton and liquidation by the general govern
ment. Mr.. Blaine supported his proposition
in a speech which secured the full attention of
the House. lie urged the justice of such a
policy and cited the precedents for it and de-
bated at some length the expediency OF adopt
ing his proposition. There was no final vote
upon the amendment.
The Senate in executive session to-day con-
firmed the nomination of Brig. Gen. Jos. G..
Totten, Chief Engineer u. S. A, TO be Major
General, by brevet, from April 2lst., 1864.
He has been sick for some time past and his
nomination by the President is a compliment
for his long public service Of nearly sixty-two
years.
The subscription to the 1910 loan, as re-
ported at the Treasury department to-day
amounted to $4,000.

was made last evening with Messrs. w. II. &

Uniyersalist Church on High street, near
Congress. There were, we understand, pro-
posals made for the contract by six different
firms and parties, Of whom two were from
Boston. The work will be commenced i'm
mediately, and will be vigorously prosecuted
TO its completion. If executed according to
the plan of the architect, it will be one of the
finest church edihces in the country, and will
be an ornament to the locality in which 1t is
to be erected, and which, we suggest, should
be called CONGRESS SQUARE.

Two CHILDREN DROWNED. - We learn
from Coroner Gould that sad accident oc-
Cured at Harpswell few days since. Two
children Of Mr.. James Sinnott, Jr.. aged six
and eight years, passed over from Bailey s
Island to an adjoining island, about thirty or
forty feet only-the tide being down and the
water out Of the narrow channel-to gather
shells to place upon their mothers grave, who
died about two years ago. They did not OBJ
serve the flood tide setting in until the water
was about foot deep. They then undertook
to cross the stream, but probably lost their
footing and were swept into deep water and
drowned. A little girl saw them in the water
but the alarm came too late to save them.

CINCINNATI, April %.
Private letters received here from soldiers
in Gen. Smiths army, this morning, fully con-
firm the news of our victory near Shreveport.
Gen. Banks has counternanded his order OF
retreat TO Alexandria and Gen. Lees cavalry
have been put in pursuit of the enemy.
1t is beloved, says letter from a staff Off
GER, that shreveport will be occupied this
week. From all accounts our victory is COM
plete and we recovered most of our prisoners
and guns, with many others belonging to the
enemy"
1t would appear that our army is in good
condition yet, and not discouraged as pre-
viously reported.
The fleet cannot get up to Shreveport in
consequence of low water. Admiral Porter
is much chagrined at his inability to render
the assistance to the army he had planned.
Much is being done, however, by the light
draft boats on the Red, White, and Onachita
rivers.

Lieut.. Com. Flusher rushed forward, sighted
and fired the bow gun, loaded with shell,
which struck the ram, rebounded and imme-

feet Of water, and carries only two small guns.
