- Secretary McCulloch,i in q speech
delivered at Fort Wayne, Indiana, recently,
gave forth some important views in relation
to the currency of the country. He said
the present unconvertible currency of the
country was necessity of the war, but now
the currency should be brought up to. q
specie standard, and he saw no way Of do
ing it but BY withdrawing portion Of it
from circulation, We have q circulating
medium altogether larger than needed for
legitimate business, and the excess is used
in speculation. He urges, as partial
remedy for the existing state of things,
that Congress shall authorize the funding
of the legal. tender notes. If the work of
reduction is prudently carried on, we shall
be relieved of the superabundant currency,
probably without injury or embarrassment
to the trade of the country and, if not, he
prophesies that we shall have brief period
of seductive prosperity, resulting in wide.
spread bankruptcy and disaster. He was
hopeful that the country would escape q
financial collapse, and that the currency
may be brought to specie standard with
out those troubles which in all countries
have followed protracted war.

THE PAPER SUPPLY.

This is question which is Of considers
bic importance to the newspapers now pub.
lisbed, and prospective, throughout the
State. 1t has been matter of surprise to
usfor a number of years, that some enter.
prising person in the up,oountry, who has
had the control of capital, has not embarked
in the business of manufacturing paper
There is no article applied to SO many diff
ferent purposes, and for which there is such
constant demand; yet so far as We are ad.
vised, there are at present but two paper
mills in the State. One located in the vi.
oinity Of Graniteville-near Augusta, Ga
--and the other at Greenville. These mills
cannot supply more than q ty7of the
demand. " - q
We have been informed by persons who
have given the matter some attention, that
on "Clark's Fork, p in this District, is every
natural facility for the successful manufac.
ture of paper-the power is abundant and
the water of the stream is clean and clear,
which latter is q matter of considerable i'm.
portance in an enterprise of this kind.
We suggest to those who are seeking a
business in which to engage and to employ
their capital, to give the "paper question
some consideration. If our people invest
all of their capital in dry goods and notions
which are purchased abroad, our State
