Financial Lister OF Secretary Mcculioeh.
The Secretary Of the Treasury addressed the
following letter to n gentleman in New York on
Monday morning. 1t may be considered as a
reply to General BUTLER:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Oct. 7, 1867
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 4th instant Is re.
ceived. Too much Importance is attached to
the utterRnce to which you refer. The people
of the United States are all sound upon the
question OF the preservation Of the national
faith as they were upon the question Of the
preservation Of the Union. / consider the faith
Of the Government pledged to pay the fve.twenty
bonds when they are paid In coin.
There need be, think, no apprehension that
they will be called In at the expiration Of 1--WE ~
years from their respective dates aud paid in
United States notes
Tho United States notes were issued under
the pressure Of a great necessity, and are by au.
thorty Of Congress, being rapidly withdrawn
from circulation. No more can be issued under
existing laws, nor can believe that any consid-
cradle number Of the members Of Congress would
favor on additional issue for any purpose what.
ever much less for the purpose Of paying bonds
In violation Of the express understanding under
which they were negotiated.
The policy of contracting the circulation Of
United States notes adopted by Congress and
being steadily pursued by the Secretary, should
of itself, even II the henor Of the nation were MOI
involved In the question, satisfy holders tha
fye-twenty bonds will net be called in and paic
before maturity in a deprecated currency.
Very truly yours, II. McCULLocH,
Secretary,

terogatory: that there VIII DO reduction when
there Is a surplus. But we do not intend to let
the subject drop with this single remark, because
the question Is one oil too much Importance to
DO dismissed In so summary manner.
This round globe Of ours contains within its
soils ample forces to produce all that Is needful
for the sustenanee Of man and beast. We have
the breadth OF territory, the depth and fertility
Of soil, and the fertilizing material at hand In
all countries, so that BY proper attention in the
Cultivation OF the land 1t can DO made TO yield
enough and more than enough to iced poPula'
tion twice as large as that which now inhabits
tho earth The fact Is, We have not as YET
eInscially in this country, began to give that
attention to tho growth Of those cereals which
must always constitute the larger portion oil
human food
Hundreds OF people rush into cities and run
the risk Of Prccarious existence, and often
times nearly starrei whereas they ought TO re
main In the country as tiller' OF the soil. Wit
ness, for instance, how almost every branch oil
business Is stimulated to the neglect Of farming
We have no cause to complain that the people
are not onterprising In some directions. Many
farmers esteem 1t much more profitable, and
oven respectable, to raise wool, to have fine pas
turage to grow blooded stock, to plant and cul'
tivate tobacco. cotton, and fruits than to grow
corn and wheat, and rye and oats. The best
and most fertile lands arc selected, and the best
energies Of many OF our people are put forth to
cultivate and produce these latter products !
while the cereals are too often neglected, or but
partial and Indifferent efforts are made to secure
large crops Of these indispensable products.
In consequence Of this neglect, what do We
see even now? II Is true, we have fattered our.
selves with the satisfactory conclusion that good
crops have been produced and already har.
vested, and we have thought to dwell in the
midst Of abundance; but already, in the large
cities of Europe and America, there Is a fearful
foreshsdoving Of coming want, II not famine, In
consequence Of the high prices which many arti.
Giles of vegetable food must, in the present and
future condition of the markets Of the world,
bring at no distant day.
Now II this be the case when what are called
good crops are gathered In, how would It be
with two or three seasons or with even one year
Of short crops The fact ia, both in this coun-
try and In Europe the lands devoted to the Gull
tiyation Of the cereals are far too contracted
We may in this land safely contract our cotton
and tobacco lands, but we must, If we would
avoid the threatened danger OF famine and
