The JoBBING JOURNALS ON BANK MANAGEMENT
AND FINANcE.-The World, journal that came
into existence by robbing the government, and
became notorious by its managers palming off
on the soldiers straw hats and linen panta.
loons-all boys sizes at that-for regular army
uniforms, is now zealously at work endeavoring
to destroy confidence in the financial system Of
the government, and thus Indirectly assist the
reasonable designs Of JEFF. Davis and Company.
The financial system inaugurated by Secretary
Chase, and approved by Congress, is an essen
tial portion of the plan of the government to
put down the rebellion, and is its strong arm in
this great contest to sustain itself. If public
confidence in that is destroyed, and general
distrust created, the administration will be
weakened in its most vital point, and the rebel
lion made successful for the want Of means to
prosecute the war. 1t is equivalent to attack
ing the war policy of the President. and on a
par with the negro and "wet blanket" articles
OF. the Tribune, Post Boston Liberator, and
other abolition sheets.


If there was any result to their efforts it would
be to embarrass the government; but, fortunate
ly, of the handful who ever look at that sheet,
no one, except it is the secession sympatizers
in our midst-who have been bears ever since
the war commenced-ever heeds its clamor or
endorses its ideas on finance. For long time
past it has been advising our bank directors
how to manage their institutions, and now
comes out with achapter on foreign exchange.
The idea of concern that is obliged to turn
and twist in all directions-first adopting the
"pious dodge" then robbing the government,
next trying amalgamation, in order to keep
itself falive-attenpting to advise our prosperous
and money making banking institutions what
to do, is certainly refreshing even in this hot
weather. In this light, what must we consider
its efforts to dictate financial system to the
administration to carry country so extended
as ours, with all its varied interests, through a
war like the one in which we are now engaged
Its financial IDEAS like the straw hats and linen
pantaloons, are all "boys' sizes, and from their
reception by our bank officers and the admins
tration, we conclude that our bank and govern
ment officials SO considered them; and this, we
opinc, is the cause Of its escape from the en-.


forcement Of Secretary Stanton's recent order,

"a Haunting iie." He is now laboring day aisd
night in the same direction. How long will
the people have to complain that only the
radical disunionists are exempt from the opera
ton of the orders of the government, and that
abolitionists and niggers may say and do what
they please with impunity?

So we heard great stTapping young man
cxclaim the other day in an Office. We did want
to tell him piece of our mind so bad. And
we'll Just write to him. You want capital, do
you? And suppose you had what you call capi-
tal what would you do with it? You want cap
itaI Haven't you got hands and feet, and body,
and muscle, and bone, and brains; and don't
you call them capital? What more capital did
God give to anybody


Oh! but they are not money, say you. But
they are more than money. If you will use
them they will make money, and nobody can
take them from you. Don't you know how
to use theml III you don't il is time you were
learning. Take hold Of the first pillow, or hoe,
or jack-pIain, or broad-axe that you can find,
and go to work. Your capital will soon yield
you large interest. Aye, but there is the
rub; you don't want to work, you want
money or credit that you may play the gen
Ileman and speculate, and end by playing the
vaSabond; or you want plantation and ne
groes, that you may hire an overseer TO at
tend 10 them, while you run about over the
country and dissipate, and get in debt; OIL
want to marry some rich girl who may be
foolish enough to take you for your fine

you. =


Shame upon you young mani Go to work
with the capital you have, and you'll soon make
interest enough upon it, and with it, to give
you as much money as you want aud make you
teel like man. If you can't make money up
on what capital you have, you could not make
it il you had a million of dollars in money.
you don't know how to use bone and muscle anC
brains, you would not know how to use gold
If you let the capital you have lie and vast,
and rust out, it would be the same thing will
you il you had gold; you would only know
how to waste.


Then don't stand about like great helples
child, waiting for some one 10 come in and fee;
you, but 60 to work. Take the first work yol
can fDd, no matter what il is; so that you b
sure to do it like Billy Gray did his drumming
we'll Yes whatevever you undertake, do j
well; always do your best. Ifyou manage th
capital you already have, you will soon haV

Those cOntrabands-Change in Public Opinion.


ChaPge is,patures law We see this writ
ten on everything below, and in the heavens
above; on the leaves of the forest, and the vi
olets of the meadow; on the banks of the low
y stream, and on the sides OF the mountain,
towering aloft in its granduer. Even the stars
we call fixed, retain not their plaee-one dis
appears and another comes


So it is with the thoughts and purposes of
men. They are ever varying. AS the stream,
Oozing at first from the rock and then contin-
uing It's onward flow, widening and deepen
ing as it goes, till at last it bears all before
opinions often start In obscurity and seem too
Insignificant for notice, aud yet continue to
augment till they become semi-omnipotent,
crushing before them all that may presume to
oppose. AT other times We see the most vast
structures Of human thought, which have been
ages IN noticing, melt away Us in an hour, like
banks of log before the rising sun. When
Martin Luther first began to declaim against
the SUPPOSED abuses of the Romish church, he
little thought that be was firing that magazine
of public wrath which was so soon to explode
and scatter that gigantic structure of deprav-
ed wisdom and overt Wickedness, even beyond
the hope of repair. But SO it was. When
james Otis delivered his famous speech in
Boston against British eneFo4chments on CO
lonIal rights, he did not even dream that he
was laying the grand corner stone of Ameri-
can Independence. No, not even when blood
began 10 flow at Lexington and on Bunkers
Hill, could the word Independence have been
lisped in the faintest whispers. 1t would ev-
erywhere have been met as treason. But events
continued to evolve themselves and public O.
pinion was swept on before them till that omi-
nous word could not Only be spoken aloud in
open day, but everywhere be hailed with the
most jubilent exultation. So when the walls
Of Fort Sumter began TO crumble beneath the
FIRE of the rebel batteries, and Abraham Liu-
coin gave the bugIe note of alarm and called
for his three months volunteers, but few imag-
ined that that crumbling beIokened the down
fall of american Slavery, SO long and by so
many considered inviolable, and that that call
was to the funeral pyre Of this great Moloeh
Of American dishonor. Such a Thought may
have been carefully whispered in The hope Of
the few, but would have universally been dis
countenaneed blythe many. But The idea has
been flung to the breeze; public feeling is agi-
tated and is fast bringing to the point that this
struggle is not to end till The entire fabric Of
the accursed institution is crushed as an egg
and the last stain Of,it is wiped out as We wipe
a dish. To help forward with This change is.
the object of the present and future papers

It is wen known that every hair,
whether long or short, is covered with
numerous barbs, like the barbs Of 6sh-
hooks, and therefore when q number
Of hairs are brought in contact with
each other, and move back and forth,
they: will work in among each other,
and often form 2 mass so tangled
like the name Of colt, which our an
cestors have often taught as to believe
were the stirrups Of witches, which
were accustomed to ride them in the

cattle have of scratching themselves

and when the hair comes of, rs itoften
does, by the handful, more or less will
adhere to their tongues, and many
times finds its way into their stomachs;
and the reeip-ocating motions Of the
stomach of animals which chew the
cud would soon form q bunch Of hair
into a pellet; and, as more hair vas
taken into the stomach from day to
day, Il would very sure to eli collect
in one mass. Now, when an animal
begins to shed its coat Of hair, there
always appears to be more or less ir--

TIE MoSIroR.-A good deal of apprehension is expressed by some as to the result of the next duel between the Monitor and Merrimac. It is impossible of course not to regard such strug gle with much solicitude, but we apprehend that in some particulars the anxiety expressed is without reason. The chief fear seems to be lest the Merrimac should sink her with her prow.- It is to be remembered, however, that the latter is likely to be maneuvred at least as we'll as the former, and is a much more {" handy" craft- The Monitor also draws less than half the water probably required by the Merrimac, and five feet less than eoen the apocryphal draught as, signed for her by some surgeon, whose surE,ises gained great currency, so that the light vessel can easily protect herself by running into shoal water if need be. It is to be remembered too, that the upper hall of the Monitor, which de- scends three feet below the surface of the water, IS built of thirty inches of oak and six inches of iron. The lower hull is protected from any such blow by the projection of the upper. which according to the printed accounts must extend more than three feet and half beyond the low. CT hull. ,r .t

 THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER or rHH MONITOR Capt Ericsson, in g private letter to Sena- tor says: rr#4

 We can yet form no correct estimate of the destructive power of the Monitor You are aware that the vessel possesses an excess of buoyancy of 10000 pounds, and is therefore capable of sustaining turret thicker than the present one with guns carrying quadruple weight of shot to those employed against the Merrimac. Nor can I omit to call your attention to they very light draft of water of the Monitor. Let us be cautious how we place vessels drawing twenty feet of water to defend our great cities

 WEIGHT OF SOLID SHoT.-The specific gravi- ty of ordinary cast iron is about 7} or that much heavier than water. A cubic foot of water weighed 623 lbs.; cubic foot of iron, 45l lbs nearly. Cannon balls increase eight times in weight for every diameter; that is, a $ inch ball weighs eight times. as much as 8 inch ball.

evidently bogus, as had Banks expedition gone

his remarks he is reported to have said:


"If the President does not move as rapidly


as you desire, if he is over scrupulous of
forms. it is some compensation to know that
the Commando Chief of more than half
a million Of soldiers, and who is frequently
under the necessity of acting with out au

Of the power. for the time, almost unlimited,

people and the supremacy of the law, though
from the temporary urgency to some slight
extent infriDged upon, will be restored un-
impaired. Let US. then, give .he President
cordial, loyal and sympathizing support.
Never has President, not even Washing
ton, been beset with so many trials and diff
cultles as environ him. The wonder is not
that he should make mistakes, but that h G
should make so few. I no more doubt his
anti-slavery integrity, his ultimate anti
slavery action, than do nv own. In the

the elder Adams, L see clearly through this

1t Is the miracle of the martial history of

over NOR loyal mor-clad men than the


flag of any one nationality ever hoated over
before. England, when the honor of her
national prowess was at stake, in the Crimean
war, could hardly muster twenty five thou
sand men. The recent call of the Govern
ment, revealing the unconscious reserved
power OF the people, demonstrated that u
million of men would respond to the call Of
the Executive. The rebellion will be sup
pressed and American slavery will be swept
away, and the theory of our Government be
a practical and glorious reality. see the
