Finances North and South.

The Richmond ErdDticr refers to the very extra
ordinary popular feeling now exhibited at the North
in the taking of the 7-3o loan with rapidity un-
precedented in the history of such affairs But 1t
says that "at the South popular subscription is
lust set on foot which promises to outtrp the North
ern proiect in the enthusiasm Of the response which
it ecits The subscription which at the suggestion
of the public has been opened by the Secretary of
the Treasury is quite different in form, 1t proposes
donations to the government of funds and property
of every form. \ large capitalist leads of with Il
subscription of two hundred thousand dollars in cur
rency coupling his protler with the condition that
twenty-four other persons shall make a like dona-
ton. The challenge will be accepted, and the five
million of dollar thus realized by the government
will be employed in paying of General Lees ar
my.
This would be very extraordinary indeed, if South
ern money were really money instead OF worthless
representation Of it; but We venture to say that 1t
Southern paper represented even halfits face in val
ue, there is not II man in rebeldom who would think
of giving even dollar to the rebel treasury. As n
is rebel bonds are worthless and rebel paFeris worth
less and man who has half million Of the lat
ter on hand can as well afford to give to the fall
ing government that issued II as to keep IT, when
a quart Of skim milk can be bought only with $40
of this stuff aud barrel Of -four is to be had only
for 800 of it, a man can hardly be said to be very
rich or very liberal who gives away S2OO0 of such
money. Ii, however, he can attain reputation for
liberaliy by such cheap munfCencc, he is right in
using his money to that end for it is about all the
good it will ever do him
The people of the North show their abiding con-
ddence in the Government by subscribing freely to
its loans and they have subscribed all the more free
" to the 80 loan because of their growing convic
ton that the war will draw to II close through
the subiucation OF the South. The people of the
South on the other hand, give up to their govern
ment stacks of Confederate notes without asking for
ANYTHING in RETURN first because the notes are worth
less second because they are fast losing confidence
in the Government that issued them; and third be-
cause they feel the prcmonton that the life of
the Confederacy is fast drawing to close. This Is
the difference between the two

CirlI."

The Now York Lc1drr furnishes the following re-
spcctng the bcggsr, who lit around the street. hold
ing babies in their laps to excite the pity and char
iiy of passers-by:
These children are kept by unworthy women, and
hired out at SO many cents day Some Of them ARE
drugged, so as to lie stFll and patc on the beggars
lap. Some are tortured by pins artully disposed
as to constantly irrtatc them and make them wall
Some are tied and bandaged with cNcruiating tight
ness SO as to cause them to gasp for breath. All of
these cruel devices attract the attention and Contr
buttons of the charitable. Honest poverty does not
sit on stoops and beg IN the streets Real mothers
do not hold their babies in the face OF the public all
day long: whether it rain or snow, or sunbeams
come scOrchng down. Women worthy OF relief do
not drug and torture their own infants oruuybudy +
else 1t is evident them that those who contribute
to these beggars with babies not only throw their
money away, but they actually foster vice and en-
courage criminals. We advise readers, therefore
to refrain from be5towing misplaced ain, upon such
imposter., and we call upon the police to arrest all
such hcggars

The Arch COnSpiratOr.

jeff Davis holds no enviabie position. The se-
we're reverses of the rebellion for months back have
damped the hopes and soured the temper OF not a
few of its most ardent advocates Sorely dsappolnt
ed by the successes of our arms forced to recognize
their diminished resources while at the same time
compelled to admit that ours were never SO skilu-
ly managed the great conspirators feel that there
ran be but one end to this strife unless foreign help
comes TO the rescue Naturally enough then, they
begin TO inculpatc one another Dscorl broods over
their counses while gallant army marches resist
less through the heart of the country destroying the
great arteries of communication, and threatening t.
combine with another magnificent army which holds
their capital almost in state OF siege. Already
the leaders begin to charge one another with de-
sign to betray the cause The suspicion will bc ban
died about until it realizes itself In the meantime
the head of their government is charged with all lts
failures; and in their desperation it is seriously pro-
posed to get rid of him, as if in hurng him from
bower they could avert the impending triumph of
Yankee arms. But Jet. Davis is not usn lightly
to be set aside Should the attempt be made it will
conyulse the rebel capital and seal the fate of the
bogus government unless indeed, the arch conspi-
rator foreseeing it, doom, should avail himself of
the occasion to clear the country. He has made a
determined and protractcd fight he has used the
resources at his command with energy and consul
mate skill: and it must be bitterly calling to his
proud arrogant nature, after being SO greatly com
pimcnted to be bitterly and unfairly arraigned.
Stunr by ngratitude, and maddened by disappoint-
ed ambition he may yet immediate himself in one
final desperate venture 10 retrieve the waning for
tunes Of doomed cause

Capture Of georgetown.

Georgetown district is the richest rice growing
section of the Union and has doubtle, been Of great
importance TO the rebels during the war Il was
also one of the heaviest slave districts only 239i of
its people having been white in 1850, while ls,253
were slaves. Wnyaw Bay ON which the town is
located receives into its waters the Great Pedoc,
Black and Wacamaw rivers all uavigablc, and thus
the position is very important for military us
we'll as commercial purposes. BY means of HI,
steamers Admiral Dahlgren can from Georgetown
penetrate far into the interior through the river, we
have already named, and render efficient service to
Gen. Sherman by furnishing him with supplies di-
rectv on the line of hi. march throu h the heart Of
North Carolina. We presume that this v.,,-ouc Of
the reasons for its captJrg as aside from this the
town Is unhealthy the whole surrounding country
being low and swampy. Cheraw. on The northern
border Of South Carolina, where sherman army
had been when the rebels gave Us their last news
from him, is the head Of steam navigation on the
Great Pedce river, and with this point occupied as
depot and Fayetteville used in the same manner
Sherman could draw supplies for a march which
might thus be spread over all the interior Of North

in the field, it is circumstance testifying
Enthusiastically to the confidence placed in
his skill and ability, that although he held
the rank of Brigadier General his COM
inand was at no time less than that Of a full
Major General.
But although soldier in three wars, it is
not simply his military character that COM
mends General Morgan to. admiration and
confidence. He is gentleman of liberal
education, extended travel, large expert
ence and thoroughly versedl in the history
of his country and the nature of its instr
tutions. Coming from Democratic stock,
he early imbibed, and is tamiliarly known
throughout the State for his readiness and
ability in defending with the pen and from
the stump the principles of the great party
under whose guidance during two-thirdso
our National existence, our country con-
tinued peaceful and prosperous at home and
honored abroad. In his qualities as man
and in his relations as citizen, are found
the basis of that warm attachment and re-
gard which have been so ungrudgingly be-
slowed upon him by friends and acquaint-
ances. That such man is sure to make
popular candidate and an acceptable Chief
Magistrate, is a point that is not likely to
be controyerted.

OuR SALT TRADE.-The Sand Spring
Salt Mining Company, the only one now
in existence here, have in their store-house
at present nearly six hundred tons Of this
article. The mills now in operation in
this district consume about fifty tons per
month, paying for it at the rate of sixty
dollars per ton. The company will not
import any more salt into our market this
winter, owing to the decreasing consump-
ton of it by our mills, they not getting
that rich s%ulphuret ore which was for
merly roasted befole being crushed and
other minerals are also to some extent
coming into use in place Of it. But should
the mills discontinue the use of it alto
gether, it will still be q great article OF
to us. When the railroads are
finished and running through to this State
from California, transportation will be
cheaper, and that State will be supplied
with it. Therefore, we predict for our
salt mines a big thing to the owners.
