The Abyssinian War.

From the dispatches published yesterday it
would seem that the success of the English
expedition against his sable majesty King
Theodore, had been complete beyond the most
unguine hopes of its friends We trust the
Intelligence will prove substantially correct,
though the unreliable character of many OF
the previous kilograms leads us to doubt its
entire reliability This early and complete
success is all the more valuable from the fact
that the expedition was undertaken and car
ried on against most powerful opposition at
home. II is noble principle Of the English
nation, that the whole power Of the govern
mcnt is pledged to yindicote the rights of its
humblest citizen so that when all peaceful
negotiations had been exhausted to effect the
release Of the English captivcs in Abyssinia,
no cost was too dear, no undertaking too great,
10 procure their rescue This suspicious re-
suit cannot fail to add new lustro to the Eng
ish name, and command more profound re-
.pcct for her flag the world over.

their stead notes payable one year from date
in coin are to be issued to all creditors to
whom legal tenders have hithertofore been
paid BY the LIST of May, 1859, slsO,O0O,-
600 in coin notes would have taken the place
of the present grcenbacks, having been paid
out for salaries government contracts, curren-
cy interest and all expenses Of the govern
ment. These notes will come due at the rate
of half million dollars a day during the
year 1863, and to be redeemed in gold. BY
repeating the same operation for 1869 and
1870, the whole issue of grecnbacks now out
standing would have been converted into de-
mand notes and would be redecmabe in gold
by May lst 1881. Mr. Lynch says that he
firmly believes that the presentation and re-
demption of the first Sl5,000,OO0 of these
notes would so establish public confidence as
to reduce the premium on gold 90 nominal
figure. The difference between the plan and
that Of immediate resumption is that it limits
the amount Of notes which can be presented
to the government for redemption to half a
million dollars per day after one year from
the lst of May ncxt As our gold receipts
amount to about u third Of million % day
it is thought that so gradual a run ON the
treasury for its gold could be successfully met
until the public confidence had 80 far improy'
ed as TO reduce the premium ON gold to q
nominal figure, when specie payment would
be resumed by the banks and the people vol
