Rev. DR.. Elliott, editor of the Contra


Christian AdvOclte Of st. Louis, finds that
his paper is suffering like many others iron
the hard times. He is not in despair
though, and sets . good example to tht
timid. He says:


Every economical saving that can b
made will be resorted to and adopted. AL
the operators of the paper, embracing the
agent and printer, will, after the 3lst Of
December, 1861, reduce their claims ten
per cent, at least. The Editor will reduce
his twenty per cent. after December 3lst,
1851. And sooner than this paper should
be suspended before May. 1864, he viii
strike off every cent of his salary from
January next to the end of his term of ser
vice, provided there is the cooperation of
the patronizing conferences and the agents
In such an cxigency he viii throw himself
on the beneyOlence of the NJ. L. Church
for food to eat, and patch up his old clothes
so as to last up to May, 1864. If that
expedient viii not give US our daily bread,
we will stake what property we have to
meet the case. And should neither Of
these succeed, the agonies of starvation to
US are now over by the ordeal through
which our feelings have passed since last
January. Hence VIC have attained to a
stOical Indifference as to the result Of this
matter.


To ratify this, VIC will give in writing,
duly attested, to the Book Agent, our le-
gal obligation, which will exempt them from
all future demands by US or our heirs
Let the General Conference then do as it
sees fit We are fired in this purpose, and
will trust in God for the result. And yet
we believe that We shall have enough of
good wholesome food while the Almighty
permits US to live, and suitable warm cloth
Ing too, until we will need winding sheet
This guarantee, in connection with an Tin
Grant life, was ratified TO us in a eonsOling
promise about fifty years ago, with the
words, Thy bread shall be given thee,
and thy water sure" And for half cen
tury this assurance has been sustained by
the good hand of our God over us. And
we would be ''worse than an infdel." now
in the three score and tenth Of our age,
did we ever doubt that the residue viii be.
provided for.


This Central, then, God providing, will
be continued up to the millennial. And
hence we will sing. as VIC did in February
last:


"Praise God. from whom all blessings flow,


Praise him all creatures here below;


Praise him above, ye heavenly host.


Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost"

Among the many marvellous features o
the great southern rebellion there is none 81
unaccountable to the North as the facility
with which the South has raised money
Sectional hate, dread of invasion, and an
uneomprOmising public opinion, with able
management on the part of the confederate
government. will account for the vast ar.
mics called into the field and for the sue
cess which has SO far accompanied the mil
itary arm of the rebellion, but where the
money comes from to feed and clothe the
soldiers and conduct the vast operations Of
the rebel government, is one of the marvels
of modern times.


The confenerate loan of fifteen millions
we know was failure, but even had that
sum been raised it would have been but a
drop in the bucket. The exchange of con-
federate bonds for cotton and tobacco
would not realize any money to the rebel
treasury until the latter was sold abroad
which we know has not been done as yet
From whence, then, does the money come?
Let US explain.


There are two points to be noted in con-
nection with southern financial matters
First, the currency is exclusively of paper;
no gold is ever seen. Second, as yet this
nai,,er, from a cause We will presently ex-
plain las not very heavily deprecated.


The sam,,les of southern currency we
have seen are ba I'D not upon the credit of
the confederate govern. ,-.pent, but upon that
Ofsome county or municipalit " IN the South
ern States. The following as "ea'ly aS
We can judge, is the nOdus ope,97ldi.


The confederate government requires
three hundred million dollars to conGl.et
its operations; this sum is apportioned :
among the seceeding States according to .
population, and by them re-apportiOned
among the several counties in the States |
Each county on the average is required to
take say five hundred thousand dollars of .
confederate bonds, for which it pays in pa /
per promises to pay based upon its credit |
This paper is the present currency of the
Southern States, and though it is incon- /
vertible into gold it has still basis enough .
to give it certain value. How enormous
a sum can be raised by this means Will
be seen by multiplying the number Of
counties in the Southern States by five
hundred thousand dollars each, as per ex-

It has been correctly said that abstract
reasoning may deceive, and that Figures
of speech often lie;" but figures of arith-
metic rarely lead to erroneous conclusions
when it is possible to introduce them as
tests of discussion. We have taken some
pains to apply this mathematical analysis
to the present rebellion, and we shall pre-
mise our calculation by observing that it
is obviously just to consider the vote given
for Mr.. Breckinridge at the Presidential
Election of 1860 as exhibiting the entire
ballot of persons in the Union, at that
time, who might be considered so disafect-
ed as to be willing to cOuntenance Seces-

while the South is from day to day succeed
ing IN throwing Off the yoke Of military despo-
tism, we at the North have to suffer more from
day TO day by the iron grasp of the Dictator
Terrorism against all who do not bear allie
glance to the nsurper, becomes more rampant
every day. Systematic suppression is waged
against opposition papers. meetings of citizens
belonging to the opposition party. are hound
ed down by hired mobs, arrests and imprison-
ments OF suspected persons are carried On in
all portions OF the country almost hourly and
they become so numerous that it is next to i'm
possible TO keep account of them. To this is
now added the decision of the Dictator, not to
nave published any more news of political ar
rests, since, by doing SO, the objects which
Government has in view might be foiled To
render complete the system of Asiatic despo-
tsm, nothing is wanting now butsecret eXecu-
tions.


But, go on, You may hide by the veil of
darkness the denominations perpetrated under
sanction of laws trainpled under your feet
dawning day will reveal them the more terri
