National Finances.

The time for the adjournment of Con.
gross is rapidly drawing near, and as yet
| no action has been taken in regard to
several important measures. OF these
there are two we consider of vital inter
est to the Government, viz: as to cur
rency and revenue. Tho great contest
in which we are engaged requires men
and means to bring it to a successful
issue. The people upon whom the Gov
ernment must depend for both are ready
and willing to respond to the demands
made upon them to any extent necessary
for the suppression of the rebellion. At
the same time they demand that Con-
grcss shall so act, as to maintain and pro-
tect the credit of the National currency.
Every depreciation of that currency
weakens the Government, and lessons the
power of the people to support it. As
rapidly as the currency increases beyond
the necessities Of the country for legiti-
mate trade and investment, just so rap
idly must depreciation take place. 10
meet this difficulty we are in favor of
such action by Congress as will compel
the Withdrawal from circulation of the
bills of all banks organized under State
authority--an increase of duties upon
imports, to be paid in specie, for tho
double purpose of checking extravagant
importatlons of foreign goods, to pay for
which we are constantly exporting coin

We are confident that such action on

rsa. Retaliation is a hard word, OF
rather it is not by any means best to act
from that motive in most of cases, still
there are cases in which it seems to be
absolutely necessary. Some time ago our
government invited colored men to en-.
list in our armies, to aid US in putting
down the rebellion, and to induce them
to enlist it promised them the same pro-
lection that all soldiers are entitled to.
1t also declared that if any of our soldiers,
black or white, were murdered or cnslav-
ed after being captured by the enemy,
that retaliation in kind should be visited
upon the same number of rebels. Time
and again have we heard reports of muir
ders Of prisoners by the rebels, but in no
case has there been any retaliation on the
part of our government. We do hope
and believe that the massacre at Fort
Pillow will be the turning point. Hun
dreds of men, white and black, wearing
the national uniform, were murdered in
cold blood. Some were buried alive. Is
this thing to continue and the rebel pris-
oners not suffer for it? We cannot be-.
lieve it will. flour soldiers are not to be
treated as prisoners Of war, when captur-
ed, we should not ask them to enlist
without notifying them before hand, to
what outrages they will be exposed
These black men enlisted in good faith.
They were promised protection, and if
there is anything wrong in enlisting them,
certainly the poor ignorant black man is
not the one who should suffer. Whatev-
CIR we may think of the propriety or ex-
pcdiency of arming them, they cannot be
blamed for fighting for, as they have
been led to believe, their freedom 1t is
time that stop was put to this murder
Of soldiers, and certainly the government
cannot expect, nor dare to ask the aid of
just God, if they do not do all in their
power to prevent such outrages. Rebels
think it is right to murder prisoners, and
Copperbeads have nothing to say against
it, but all right minded men must lose all
sympathy, if they ever had any, for those
that are guilty of such abominable prac-
tees.
