We alone of all nations keep, feed
and clothe tens of thousand of prisoners
of war in idleness This is not the
practice in European nations. With
them prisoners of war are made to earn
their bread at least. Where the ac-
cumulation of prisoners has been great.
and their retention protract, it has been
customary 10 employ them on great pub
lie works. In this manner Napolean
built the Canal ST. Quentin with his
Prussian prisoners of war; and in our
own day Napolean III. sentihe Austrian
prisoners of his Italian campaign to Al
geria, and hired them out to colOnists.
Why should we not do the like with the
fifty thousand rebel prisoners now rUsting
and fatening in idleness? We have here
an industrial force capable of executing
the most colossal national enterprises, en-
oughlto dig the Illinois and Michigan ship
canal and the Niagara ship canal, and
establish a lasting bond of union and
defence along our northern frontier in
afew months time. The maintenance
of the mass of rebel prisoners we now
have on our hands is, we believe. costing
the contry something like $50, 900 a day
or close on to twenty millions dollars a
year. Why should we not have the
value of this outlay!-N. Y. Times.

New York, February 12-The Til.
buhe says A letter from u London
correspondent contains some pieces of IN
formation on a point of Importance which
has as yet attracted little or no attention.
The news in a nutshell is, at this pres
ent moment there is a leet O. six rebel
war vessels In Chinese waters.
These vessels were fitted out in En-
gland BY Steward Osborn, IN English
naval captain, and were recruiting among
the officers and crews Of Her Britannia
Majesty's navy. They were unier con-
tract to the Chinese Government, but
when they reached China a disagreement
arose between Osborn and the Chinese
authorities, and the vessels were not de-
livered but thrown on the market and
sold at auction, Osborn, officers, crew.
guns and all, to Jefferson Davis.
Il is intemated Osborn had some slight
expectations of reaching this result when
be left England. The funds for the
purchase are said to have been promised
in part by sale of the rebel ram in the
Clyde. There are now but few Ameri-
car ships in East Indian waters, and 1t
is thought probable that this feet, in
company with the rebel pirate, may be
destined to attack San Francisco.
In order to show there respect for
British neutrality, the British crews take
an cath Of naturalization as citizens of
the Confederacy when the flag changes.
If, therefore, San Francisco should
happen to be burned and plundered, John

Mr.. McCulloch, the Comptroller of
the Currency. writing with a full sense
Of the meaning which his words convey
to the country, has publicly impressed
those charged with the management of
National Banks iheanecessily CT bearing
IN miad that, although the loyal States
appear specifically to be in a prosperous
condition, such is not the fact This is
his language:
Bear constantly in mind, although the
loyal States appear specifically to be
IN a prosperous condition, that such Is
not the facts. Thai while the Govern
ment Is engaged in the suppression of a
rebellion OF unexampled ~ferceness and
magnitude, and is constantly draining
the country Of its labOrlng and producing
population, and diverging It's mechanical
industry from works of permanent value
TO the construction of implements of war
fare; while cities are crowded, and the
country Is 10 the same ex tent depleted,
and wasted and extravaganza prevail as
they never before prevailed in the United
States, the nation, whatever may be
the external indication, is not prosper
ing.
The war in which we are engaged is
a sIearn necessity, and must be prosecu-
ted for the preservation of the Govern
meni, no matter what may be its cost;
out the country will unquestionably be
poorer every day 1t is coninei. The
seeming prosperity of the loyal States is
owing mainly to The large expenditures
OF the Government, and, the redundant
currency which these expenditures seem
to render necessary.
Keep these facts constantly in mind,
and manage the affairs of your respec-
tive banks with a perfect consciousness
that the apparent prosperity of the
country viii be proven to be unreal when
the war IS closed, if not before; and Be
prepared, Nv careful management OF
the trust committed to you, to help save
the nation from a financial collapse, in.
stead of lending your influence to make
Il more certain and more severe.
