Tbtt paper mji the reader who hu a fancy far iocb ixxjuirj, roaj fiod ll worth while to eontrt the rapid de preciuion of the pap currency iaed by the Got eminent during the involution, with the similar daw award moremect of value for fimilar i.ue at the present time. There L a rait diSereuce in the population and resource of the country at the two period, and we are able to carry a debt of far greater magnitude now than then; but the lawa of demand and upplj, the DrincirJw which erer control Ytilue. hold good at all timet and under all circurxxUnces. The debt or obligations of the Go rerc merit at the cloe of the Rerolutionary war, probably equalled a third or more than a third of our preterit indebtedness, but the ability to pay was by no mean in theame proportion. It mustle recollected, however, tbl to the obligations of the General Government we must add for thia comparison the indebtednt.i of the several State, and thus we swell tbe aggregate to an amount leaving no mean comparison with the is sues of Continental currency. r The whole question of the values of Govern merit paper is one of time and amount, if the war could cease with the cloe of the present year. and while the liabilities of the Government are within fifteen hundred or two thousand millions of dollars, the resources of the country would doubtlc be adequate to lis final redemption, although tbe interest, if the debt was funded, would amount to the enormous wm of nearly one hundred mil lioniper annum. If, on the other hard, the war shall be prolonged for one, two or three years at an eipenditute of two millions per day, or more than revert hundred millions per annum, we ap prehend that our wi.-et financiers will prove une qua! to a notation of the question of the fina values of our Government currency. It is interesting to note the influence which the election returns have upon tbe public credit. Just before the October elections, when the financiers of New York wer6 impressed with the conviction that the radicals were going to carry all the States, Treasury notes went down UC3 or, rather, what U just the same thing, irld went up to 137. When the news began to come in, and it was ascertained that the Demo craU had made large gains in members of Congress gold went dow u to 133, 130; and filially, when the whole truth came home to the people, and the announcement wa.t made that the Democracy had carried everything Congress, State officers and all in the three great Central and Western State, gold suddenly dropped to 126, u fall of 11 per cent, under the influence of the election news. This is the natural and legitimate result of such a verdict by the people. It implies hope, first, that the country may be saved and the Union restored, thus giving value to the public securities; and second, that the reaction thus commenced will goon until the Government is placed in conservative hands, and a sounder system of finance substituted for the loose and extravagant management which has characterized the present . Administration. Let the States which hold their elections on the 4th ot November, confirm the decision of Indiana, Ohio and 1'ennsvlvanii, and settle the question of radicalism forever, and we shall witness a speedy restoration of confidence in our aecurities, as well as a reasonable hoje of the salvation of the country. AMERICA Par-IR CLRREXCT. - Many have heard their fathers and grandfath ers speak ol "Old tenor" and of " Continental Dipney," and but few have seen specimens of that worthless currency. For the first issue of paper money we are indebted to that State of the original "Thirteen" which hai been so prolific in new inventions, new ideas, new-fnug!ed nntio.is in divinity, laws, politics, and morale M.vsacbusetts. The Provincial Government of Massachusetu in 161K) made the first issue of paper money, under the denomination of "bills of cred it," for the purpose of defraying the expenses of an expedition to Canada. Thee bills, when first issued, were ol less worth than specie; in New England they were valued at six shillings for a silver dollar, in New York at eight shillings, and in Pennsylvania at seven shillings and sixpence; hence arose the different currencies in thce provinces, which exist even to the present day. It depieciited very rapidly, until forty-five shillings cime to be of the value of one dollar, at which it stood many years, and was denominated "old tenor" (old tender). This mode of liquidating the public demands and HtUiiing the cUiiu ot private creditors was initiated, in m.my instances, by the other provinces, and aiiiutig the rest New York. In 1745, il.i5.chu.etu alone Usued bills to the amount of between two and three million of poumls, lawful money; and in three years after, by deptechition, 1.100 of the? e bills w ere onlj worth or equal to JÜI1K) sterlirg. Great Britain paid to that colony Xlt'U.OUU sterling for expenses iucurred by her in the expedition a g inst Louisburg, in the last mentioned year, with which she redeemed her bills, at the rate of fifty shillings per ounce of silver. When tha troubles of the Revolution com menced. Congress having no other resources lor revenue, had recourse to the system ol paper money, and the provinces did the same to a Urge amount In 1775, Congress issued bills of credit to the amount of $3,UM),000; and to force their circulation, and prevent their return for redemption, it made them, by resolution, a lawful tender, and declared a reiusal to receive them an extinguishment of the debt for which they were offered for payment. This was a sort of forced loan, and Congress declared, Janunry 11, 1776, that "whoever should refuse to receive in payment Continental bills, should be declared and teated ns enemies to their country, and be precluded from in- , tercourse with Its inhabitants." "Until the amount (savs Mr. Jefferson) exceeded $9,000,000, the bills passed at their nominal value, after which the depreciation was iireat." This Continental money formed almost the entire circulating medium ot the country during the Revolution, and accounts were kept in it, but tbe specie value was also generally entetevl as follows: "177TJ, June 5. To cash paid lieubca Dem for a screw lor a State se.tl. Cont'l JL'D. Uw, i) lCs i 4d" which is as eleven to one. Augn.t 30, 1775, j the Provincial Congress of New York ordered an j emi9ion of bills to the amount of jC45.fX0, im sums from ten to half h dollar; and Match 5,1 lit, they ordered $13,oU moie. August 13, 1775, ther again resolved to issue tills o! credit foa $500.000, in sums fjoiu cue thilliug to ten dollars. In the same Congre.May 2. 1776, it was resolved that Thomas Harriot had vnlated the resolutions of Cttgre in reiuing to receive Continental hilts in tMivmei.t. and that he ha he-A up to tbe public as an enemy to his country. It seems he was after ards imprisoned for the like f oftne.

"The debt of the Uaited Sutej," he says, "was the price of liberty ; the laith of America has been repeatedly pledged for it. and with solemnities that gave peculiar force to the obliga tion. To justify and preserve public confidence; to promote the increasing respectabdity of the American name; to answer the calls of justice; to sustain landed property to its true value; to furnish new resources both to agriculture and commerce; to cmeut more closely the Union of States; to add to their security against foreign attack; to establish public order on the basis of an upright and liberal policy are the great and valuable ends to be secured by a proper and adequate provision for the support of public credit. The nature of the contract upon the face of tho bill is,that4he public will pay to the holder the sum therein expressed, and it was from this circumstance that the bills were ever received or circulated as monev." His advice was not heeded. About $-0,000,000 wis paid to the different States, to refund expense-! incurred by them during the Revolution; and $ 1 00. 000.000 of Contirental currency remains unredeemed to this day. The great excuse for non -redemption was the extensive counterfeiting of them during the few veara ol their isue. Special CorrPioinl?nc' vt th' Chicago Times, from Valiington.

Washington, October 22. One of the roost striking evidences of the unfitness of the trent Administration for its high trust is the fact that it lentis the whole weight of its influence to all schemes for wasteful expenditure of the public money. This would be bad enough even in prosperous time, when there were no unusual demands on the treasury. Hut now, when the treasury is literally bankrupt; when United States Treasury Notes have sunk thiity per cent, below par; when the demands of the contractors upou the treasury are so enormous that paper money can not be manufactured fast enough to pay them; when the Government is so short of funds that even its brave soldiers have had to go unpaid for the last five months, while their families, of course, are suffering at home; when the people are ground down with t!ie weight of taxation on every conceivable article of daily use; when the country is burdened with a public debt that is rapidly increasing, a debt ihat will cripple the energies of succeeding fenerations lor centuries to come, and that possibly will never be paid, under huch circumtances. for the Administration to give its countenance and support to such a wild and chimerical project as that of the deportation or colonization ot the four millions of negroes in the Southern States, is the surest indication that could be given that the Administration lacks wisdom, to say the least. The particular project which the Administration has in view, in this direction, is the purchase, for several millions of dollars, ay from five to ten million: (the Government is so tiu.-h of funds that ;i few millions, more or le?s, will not be regarded), of a few thousand square miles of land in some of the South American or Central American Suites. This land will be bought of some person or persons who have no right to sell it, and who can give no valid title to it. This fact will involve us in constant quarrels and law suits with the true proprietors of the soil, and no doubt, also, in wars with the native Governments. The up-shot will be, that we will get nothing for our millions, and will be compelled to look out for a new location. Even if the Utopian idea of the Administration of deporting the blacks could be carried out so far as to have the proposed colony established, that would be but the beginning of troubles. Our Government has received official notice from the Governments of nearly every one of the Central American and South American States, that they will not consent to have thrust upou them four millions or any less number of beings whom we consider unfit members of society. We would either, therefore, have to protect them in their new homes, and therefore become involved in wars with ihe native governments, or ele we would have to leave them to their fate, and see them äwept away by a war of extermination. In the one case, our Government would be saddled with an enormous and an endless expense. In the other Cii.se, we would be justly ch trgeable with the inhumanity of enticing these poor people away from their happy homes in order to have them massacred by South American savages. In the face of the fact, however, that the negroes, both slaves and free, don't want to go, (of which fact the evidence is ample and incontrovertible,) the Administration i doing its utmost to forward thi absurd plan of the expatriation of the blacks. Money is to be lavishly expended on the foolish project. It is stated to day that $50,000 has just been drawn Irom the Treasury, as the first installment ot untold sums that are to be squandered in this ridiculous chimera. The story that the fugitive slaves now congregated here, at Norfolk and at Fortress Monroe, have expres.ed a willingness to be transported to some foreign State, is entirely unfounded in fact. Not one negro in a hundred, in any or in all parts of the United States, can be found to be in favor of it. I have conversed with many of them, here, snd have not found one in favor of it. They think it very hard, too, that the Government, aftet enticing them tiere, now wants to banish them like criminal. The fcctet of the whole affair is, that it is an immense swindle on the Government by oarties who see that they ran make princely fortunes out of it if cunningly managed. Of the $50,000 which has just left the Treasury, $40.00U will go into the pockets ot those shrewd philanthropist?, and $10,000 will be expended in "preliminary surveys and explorations." Since the battle of Antietam, I have satisfied myself, by personal visits to several hospitals, that the complaints made by our soldiers of improper surgical treatment, and of no surgical treatment at all, when wounded, and atter a battle, are too well founded. Dozens of cases of needless amputations, of deaths from slight and easily cured wounds, and of deaths from sheer ex posure and neglect, have come to my own personal knowledge. In one hospital that 1 visited, the soldiers stated that no surgeons had visited them for five days in succe?sion. Now, while I know thereto be f tc's, I know also that many of the army surgeons are skillful, untiring aud devoted in the performance of their dutv. and no rewar J could be too reat to betow nn labors like theirs On the Peninsula, particularly, I have w itne!el, immediately alter a battle, and tor days alter, conduct on the part of our surgeons that would have rivaled a woman in tendercess and a Galen in fkiil, und in consequence of which hundreds of valuable live have been saved. The fact i.-, thut our army has got to be so enormously lsrcc thst the supply of good surgeons has necessarily fallen short, and their places hne U-en upplied by ignorant and unfit persons. It is in the power of the Administration, however, to remedv thi j:reat evil. Justice to the thousands of the br.te men who have left the comforts ot home to tjht for their country demands that this should he done immediately It i bad enough to be wounded or maimed. It is brutal that a wounded soldier should be left for da with his wounds undressed, or that he should have a limb cut off that could just as well be saved. When the statement wa made a few Hay ago Oat ti e reon why the Arm of the Potomac dc not cro4 thnt riviT and attack the enemy waa that the troops were wailing tor hocs, it merely euited a Miule.

My connection with what the editor Is pleased to call the Ashley fraud was precisely this, no more, no less: Some time in the spring of 11 Hon. William Mitchell, of Iitdiana. presented to me a recommendation for a Mr. Case, of Ohio, for Surveyor General of Colorado, stating that he was a brother of the Hod. Charles Case, of Fort Wayne, and that he was eminently qualified for the place. I then igned the recommendation, and some time afterwards Mr. Mitchell told me he thought Mr. Cae would be ap;ointed, and that he would have to appoint three or four clerks in the Surveyor General's office, arid that he thought 1 might get one for some Indiana man. I told him there were a great many applicants for clerkships from our State, and that I would like very much to control the clerkship in Mr. Case's office. My recollection is that I never spoke to Mr. Ashley on the subject until after Case was aj pointed; and then I told him of the conversation I had with Mr. Mitchell, and asked him to speak to Mr. Case in reterenre to the clerkship, which he promised to do, (and I presume he did so.) but 1 did not succeed in getting the appointment. Now, if there is any correspondence implicating me in any fraud, public or private, I ark und demand its publication. Please publish this card, and very much oblige, lours, lie, ll. b. Lane. 1'. ö.

Second The removal of Gen. Buell from the command of the Armv of Kentucky. Third To urge a more vigorous prosecution of the war, the immediate advance of the Army of the Potomac, the enforcement of the conns cation act, and the treatment of rebels in arms as traitors. No more troops are to be furnished bv the States until these demands are complied with. (General Fremont on Himself. Fremont has been making an egotistical little speech at St. Louis, in which he describe him self as an i!l-ued man, and compares himself not onlv to Marlborough and Louis Napoleon, but also to the builders of the walls ot Trov; to the Trojan "whose spear against the treacherous horse made the clang of arms resound;" to Lao coon, attacked by serpents, and to Antaeus, who arose refreshed everv time he touched the earth during his struggle with Hercules. Thee classical allusions fchow considerable reading; but they are most unfortunately apropos of Fremont's late. The work of the builders of Troy was all in vnin, und ended in ruins. The Trojan only invoked punishment upon himself by striking the Giecinu home. Laocoon was killed by the serpents. Hercules, perceiving whence Antajus derived his strength, held him aloft and strangled him to death. Fremont, therefore, is not more successful in his classical comparu-oiis than in his military campaigns. In attempting to eulogize himself he metaphorically admits that he is a deceased General. We gladly accept the admission. N. Y. Herald. Iowa Election. The Dubuqe Herald says of the recent election in Iowa: The returns come in slowly only sixty one of the ninety eight counties having been heard from, and only twenty sven of these officially. The Abolition strongholds are all in, a majority of the balance of the counties not heard from being Democratic. The result is: Republican majorities, 7,3G1, against Democratic majorities, 6,051, leaving a clear Republican majority of 1,312. Davis, Marion and Pottawattamie counties will reduce this still lower, as will also the official count, which iu every instance, thus far, has enlarged the Democratic and reduced the Republican majorities. This does not look much like the 10,000 majority claimed by the telegraph. Republicanism will do well, if, with its immense patronage in all its influential ramifications, it secures 2,000 majority on the State ticket, a losa of 13.000 from last year's vote. Our net gain thus far in sixty one counties amount to 10,527. We call the attention of our Eastern cotemporanes to the statemeut, in order that the impression sought to be made that Republicanism holds its own in Iowa may be dispelled. Abolitionism never has received so fearful a blow s'nee it crept into power as it has i" this election. Next year it dies. ' From the New York Herald. Fremont for tlic Third Time. According to the old proverb, the third trial decides the question. The Administration, very much bothered to know whether or not Fiemont is a real General, has determined to give him this decisive trial. The greatest Abolition hero appears upon the stage of action for the third time, therefore, like a debutant who, having failed twice as Richard the Third, is allowed one more night to redeem himself or justify his dismissal. Fremont, indeed, resembles the usual stage Richard in being a mere theatrical General. His Generalship is all in his uniform. He slash es about amazingly amid frantic hi-hi's from the black pit cf the Tribune office; but he never really hurts anybody. The blood he spills i not the real stuff, but usually comes from poor Greeley's inkstand. He give us all the sound and fury of battle; but he injures the rebels not half so much s Edwin Forrest does the unfortunate wight who plavs Richmond to his Richard. He acts with great applause from the Abolitionists. but at the conclusion of his performance sensible j people think that ther have paid their monev to-; wards his salary foolishly, and that they might better have patronized some other actor. This theatrical General Fremont appeared for the first time in Missouri, where be accomplished nntViin-r pMwi.lant T!nfln rrorrh!al irpnprnl ity was appealed to, and he gave Fremont l.ie ! benefit of a second trial in Western Virginia, I where he achieved precir-ely the same result as in j Missouri. Two ueh failures would have dis , gutted any but the best natured President that J e er ble-?ed this country; but President Lincoln's benevolence is inexhaustible, and he has at last concluded to try General Fremont for the third time. To put Fremont in command twice in the same State, however, would inevitably result in the annihilation of all the Union forces ii that; commonwealth; and therefoie the President has civen him an entirely new held o' operations, j Fremont, like the bankrupts and heavy debtors of a few years ao. is now entitled to the order j of the G. T. T. He hss literally gone to Texas. ! The feelings of the unhappy people of that beau i titul iecliori of the country, upon the receipt of this intelligence, may be imagined, but can not be described. It would be equally impossible for j us to adequately portray the general joy with ! which this information will be received by the j people of this portion of the republic. The Abo- j Iitionists will reoice because r remont. their tavorite General, has departed in glory to a new ( command. The public generally will content it- f self with rejoicing that he has departed. ! To be successful in the department of Texas, I Fremont w ill require mups, dhihc, mules, money 1 and mulattoes. We trut that the President will i see that he is liberally supplied with these eseotials without delay. Fremont will require many map; for, although he is nicknamed the Path ' finder, he has a very bad habit of bwing his way. .. ' ii I . 1. . . V . 1 .

Lastlj, Fremont cannot get along without mulattoes to wait ipon him and swell his regal retinue. If his aimy is to remain in Texas any time, however, it will not be necessary for the Government to send the mulattccs down to him. Supplied with these campaign necessitiesmaps, muiic, mules, money and mulattoes Fremont may be relied upou to accomplish something for himself. If not for the country. Without them the only teiuluof his new campaign will be as worthless as those of his Missouri and

Virginia exploits, and may be summed up in these three words debts and contracts. Since the Administration has determined to try Fremont fcr the thid time, we insist upon it that this trial shall be a fair and final one, and that he shall be dismissed if found wanting. The President's Potltlon Eighteen .Tiontli Ago, On the20dof April, lbGl. Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, wrote to Mr. Dayton, our Minister at I'aris. on the subject of slavery in the United States, as follows: "The conditiou of slavery in the several States will remain just the same, whether it (the revolution) succeed or fail. There is not even a pretext for the complaint that the disaffected States are to be conquered by the United States if the revolution fail; for the rights of the States, and the condition of every human being in them, will remain subject to exactly the same laws and forms or administration whether the revolution shall succeed, or whether it shall fail. In one case, the States would be federally connected with the new Confederacy; in the other, they would, as now, be members of the United States; but their Constitution and laws, customs, habits, and institutions, in either case, will remain the same. It is hardly necessary to add to this incontestible statement the further fact that the new Pi evident, as well us the citizens, through whose suffrages he has come into the Administration, have always repudiated all designs whatever and wher ever imputed to him and them, of disturbing the system of slavery as it is existing under the Con stitution and laws. The case, however, would not be fully presented if I w ere to omit to say that jtny such effort on his part would be unconstitutional, and all his actions in that direction would be prevented by the judicial authority, even though they were assented to by Congress and the people." This, no doubt, was written with the knowl edge and consent of Mr. Lincoln, if not dictated by him, and may. therefore, be regarded as a pledge from him to France and to the world, that "the condition of slavery in the several States, should remain the same, whether secession should succeed or fail." As a conclusive reaeon why he should not and would not "disturb the system of slavery," his Secretary urged that it would be "unconstitutional" for him to do so, and that if he should attempt any action in that direction, even with the assent of Congress and the people, he would be prevented from accomplishing his purpose by "the judicial authority." It would appear from this, that in April, ls-61, Mr. Lincoln recognized the existence and constitutional power of the Judiciary Department of the Government, which, since that time, he and his Ministers have repudiated. It is gratifying; to learn that there was a time when "our patriotic f resident" entertained a due regard for what is really the highest branch of our Government, for it gives the hope that it is not impossible for him to return to a conscious!;- that there is, or was, such a department in the federal system, and to again recognize its claims to his distinguished consideration! If it were not for Mr. Lincoln's argument to the Chicago fanatics against his emancipation proclamation, but a few days before he issued it, the public might be astonished in reading the foregoing extract from Mr. Seward's leite;-, by the summersault which it shows the President to have turned on the slavery question, in views of the acknowledged constitutional barrier to that emancipation which he has decreed. But "tne Pope's bull against the comet" has eclipsed all his other inconsistencies and absurdities. Philadelphia Evening Journal. From Dubuque Herald.
