In former article we explained the fun

or the part that it performs in the com.
merce of the country. The first and great
est office of money is to effect an equitable
exchange of the products of labor A per.
feet money will effect a perfect exchange in
value. Money is not received in exchange
tor any product of labor becaue that it is an
equivalent for that prodnct, in condensed
value, but because the money may be ex-
changed for the equivalent the value is in
the product, and not in the money A man
has lead of wheat, he does not need, hut
he needs coat, pants, hat and boots; the
wheat has value because it may be CONVEX
ted into food and help satisfy one of the
natural wants of man. A hauls the wheat
to market and exchanges it for money. The
money supplies none Of his natural wants.
A may starve or freeze, if he keeps his money
in his pocket-that money will do him no
good until he parts with it; then it is plain
to be seen that the value of money is entire.

COMRADES Inasmuch as numerous calls
are being issued and circulated throughout
the States and from this city for soldiers
and sailors conventions, and, in order that
our comrades may fully understand from
whence issue these calls, their objects, and
IN whose interest they are to operate this
address is issued
The following extract is a specimen from
one of the calls referred to now being circu-
lated, against which it becomes our DUTY to
warn you:
WASHINGTON, ID. C. December Is, 1867.
At conference of Union soldiers and sailor.
held in this city on Monday, December 16, 1857.
to consider the propriety of calling a national
convention, resolutions were unanimously adopt-
ed recommending that an invitation be extended
to all loyal persons who have served in the naval
or military service of the United States to unite
in issuing a call for a national convention to be
held in May 1868, for the consideration of nation
al questions, and the nomination of candidates
for President and Vice President of the United
States.
The disordered state of public affairs, the res
toratlon of rebels to power, the designing efforts
to destroy national credit, the failure through
out the country to recognize the just claims of
the veterans of the war: these coupled with
desire to perpetuate the fundamental principles
of our Government. deemed sufficient reasons
that the men who crushed rebellion should coun-
sci such measures Us shall tend to preserve and
protect the civil and political rights of the people.
BRIG. GEN. T. T. CRrrrENDEN Chairman.
WILL. a. SHORT, Secretary.
The purport of these calls would lead ma
ny to believe that these proposed couven-s
nons were to be held solely in the interests
OF the soldiers and sailors. But do notallow
yourselves to be deceived by expediency
men and designing politicians. Under the
pretext OF serving soldiers and sailors they
are iaboring to delude you into their ranks,
after which the same fraud, falsehood and
ingratitude will be practiced upon you that
has been so signally evinced in the past
The disordered state of public affairs
has been brought about by this same party,
which has been in power for years, and by a
system of usurpatiou and uncalled for leeis.

A sTR1K1Na commentary upon the Radi-
cal falsehood that the murder Of Randolph
and other similar crimes are "winked at
that is the favorite exp ression-by the mass
of our people, is furnished n the tone IN
which the country press Of the State, almost
without exception, comment upon these out
RACES. What, for instance, could be palmer
than the following from the Orangeburg
News: ave know that we, in Orangeburg
"District, have suffered incalculable harm
"from the insidious plotting of Randolph
s'and several of his political allies; but we
"know further, that the people of this dis
"trict would unite in condemning any at
stempt at retaliation by unlawful means.
''Vile as Randolph may have been-and his
ssrecord is bad one-the men who muir
"dered him in cold blood deserve to be
changed" This is fair sample of the
spirit in which all the country journals Of
South Carolina-journals that depend for
their very life upon local popularify-have

Give us Rest!

In q few days the excitement and confu-
sion of the Presidential canvass will be
over, and the South will be in a position to
contemplate dispassionately the necessities
of the times, and to determine what course
it is wisest for her people to pursue.
For more than seven years these Southern
States have been torn and bleeding; for
more than three years the phantom of peace
has eluded their eager grasp. The bloody
days of the war were followed by the darker
days of incipient reconstruction, and our
country could not cultivate that stern and
patient endurance which alone can make us
victorious in the unequal battle of life.
Blow fell quickly upon blow; the dangers
of the present dwarfed into insigni6cance
the SORROWS of the past; the darkness of
the future made even the narrowing pres
ent seem easy TO be borne. Yet through it
all the South cried for rest quiet and peace;
and with these words upon her lips entered
upon the great contest which is now draw
ing to close.
The result of the Presidential election
will show whether hope has been in vain,
and from the supreme court oil the nation
there is no immediate appeal. Whatever
the verdict of the American people, it can
not be reversed for four years to come; and
so will be decided, as far as national vote
may decide, the destiny of our States and
people. Under no circumstances, however,

CHI A R L ES TON.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2s, 1868.
Prosperity of The News.

Just twelve months ago to-day The NEWS
passed into the hands of its present proprie-
tors. The year that has elapsed hos been
season of business torpor, of political
chaos, and of universal depression, the like
of which no Charlestonian Of this ger"-a-
ton can remember in the past or expects
to see in the future. Every branch of in
dustry, every department of trade, every
profession, has borne its share in the gene
raj suffering; and journalism has been no
exception to the rule. Yet in the face of
all difficulties and discuuragements The
News has steadily prospered. It's circulation,
which, year ago, was already larger than
that of any journal in this part the South,
has increased week By week; until now the
capacity of our fast presses is taxed to the
utmost to print our edition, and the adver-
tising business of the paper, in comparison
with that of our city contemporaries, was
never SO large and SO healthy.
These gratifying evidences of the appre-
citation of our efforts on the psrt of the
public, incite us 10 renewed endeavors to
make TIE NEWS more than ever deserving
of their favor and support. We resolved,
at the outset, to spare no efforts to
print newspaper which should be ac-
knowledged to be at once the cheapest
and the best within the reach of the peo-
Pile of South Carolina, and which should,
in all things, maintain q manly and
outspoken independence, stunning alike
extreme views and blind adherence to OBJ
solete ideas on the one hand, and q timid
and time-serving neutrality on the other.
Such q journal-progressive, enterprising
and practical-we conceived to be one of
the wants of the times in Charleston. How
far we have succeeded in supplying the
void, it is for others to judge.
One thing, however, we can promise.
While new and, we trust, brighter vista
is opening for our people, it shall be our
SuOIt " supply tASAA NAtA u poHSh s~oe
shall in no respect be behind the times. I'm
encumbered with the ideas and customs and
-prejudices of the dead past, schooled in the
activity and necessities of the living pres
ent, and animated with the confidence of q
great and prosperous future for the South,
the proprietors of TIE NEWS are deter
mined to make it such o journal as no Car
Gilman need blush to acknowledge as the
leading representative press of this city and
State. Every dollar Of support that it re-
ceives shall be faithfully returned with in
terest to the community, in the increased
fullness, freshness and variety Of its col
umns, so that, while it takes no backward
step, the measure of its enterprise and
value as newspaper shall steadily expand
in proportion with the support which dis
eliminating public may see fit to accord
to it.
