TIE VIRGINIA MEDICAL MoNTHLY.-We
have received this monthly for the present
month. 1t is published in this city by DR..
L. b. EDWARDS. The present No. contains
much very Instructive and interesting mat
ter. We notice Il highly technical article on
"Doses of Certain Rene dies" translated
by DR.. A. S. b. I've infer DR.. BErTELuEIM)
from a German medical publication. We
observe several iniormatory articles; but
have been especially attracted by an essay
from the pen Of Dr.. o. +. MANSON, Of this
city, OH " Cholera-lnlautum." A very large
proportion of caildren'S deaths in this cOun.
try are occasoncd by choieraintan,um; and
DIR. MANSON, falling to fed any thing in re-
ference to it in the parers and works OF the
doctors Of the large European cities, is led
to doubt the existence of the malady 10
European countries. The Doctor has de-
voted great deal OF time TO the study of
disease which has b.iyhted with death so
many lovely babes aud crushed he hearts of
SO many doing mothers. He has decided
that 1t Is due to malaria. as is intermittent

UNCLE BILL On TIE CURRENCY. Governor

item of exact and precious information be-
slowed upon him was that the venerable Go.

aud is consequently now >ixty-nine years old.
After considerable sklrmiShing on the subject
of tiuauce the correspondent at last put the
question TO him point-blank in these words
There is square issue before the country
as to whether specle-payments shall be re.
sumed, or paper money mide absolute. The
people are dividing OH the question as TO
whether coined metal or stamped paper
shall be the standard CT value in this
country for all time to cone. Have
you any hesitancy in stating your eX.
act attitude with respect to this important
question:" At this presentation of the ques-
ton Governor Allen heSitatcd moment and
then said: II regard specie payments in the
sense in which that term might have been
employed twenty years ago as physical
impossibility now and for all time to come.
In my judgment the business OF the world
and the financial needs of mankind have
outgrown the capacity Of the mines to pro.
q
basis of currency. The business of the
world to-day is transacted not by the trans
fer of coin as in the days of Venetian and
Spanish commercial supremacy, but by the
interchange of paper bills representing Gre
dit; repre-. ehting the confidence of men ia
one auother-a confidence which is the out
growth OF the intimate acquaintance be.
tween communities and nations rendered
possible by modern methods of locOmotlon.
Iu SJme countries there is still coin in circu.
laion, aud paper money is eXchaugcabIe at
par for it. But nowhere do specie-pay
exist except by sufferance. Nowhere could
the shadow olspecie. which does not
exist be maintained for a moment if the PEG.
pie who hold the paper money were to with
draw their confidence from the banks which
hold SHAT there is of gold In word, the
pretence OF specie. payments which exists in
England, the strongest coin country ia the
world, would fail tomorrow but for the ere.
Tit of the banks based upon the confidence
Of the bil.holders. Therefore, you see;-
the basis OF business in specie paying
IS we'll as in non.specic-p paying countries
IS credit, and nothing but credit, after all.

IAN give you my view Of the matter III a few

Paw Customs IN Greenbacks

Hon. Il. JANIS BECK. of Kentucky, hit the
nail on thc head when he said in his speech
at Coviuston, Ky, on Friday last:
"Lct the Government to-day declare that
"she will receive her paper for her customs
"ducs, and my word for it, it will be as good
"as gold i'll year"
Exactly. That is tue Dispatch ticket. IN
act not gold OF the importers, and the gold
gamblers Will lose their occupation, the pre-
MUM, KEEP! up by corrupt bulling opera
ton, in which the Government is indirectly
crimnated, will 20 down, and in u short
term, not probably TO be numbered by a
half score o! years. the country will move
into specie-paymeut with the same ease that
a boat moves out Of 4 lock when the water
is brought to level with that outside the
lock.
Pay the duties in &rcrnbackS. 1t will ruin
the gold gamblers, reduce the gold premium,
and give the country peace. BECK knows
what he is talking about. He is one of the
shrewdest statesmen of his day. In the agita-
ton for the payment Of duties in greenbacks
there have beeu rather few to respond; but
Mr.. BECK is worth Il legion in 4 good cause.
