The Journal charges, upon the statement of this report, that Iba prion fmr x periotl of four year, two past and two in the luture, will inrolre an expense to the state of forty thousand dollars, instead of being se!l-su;taiuing. When the facts in the case are fairly de eloped, it will be demonstrated that the failure of the prison to austaia itself cannot be fairly charged to those entrusted with it management or administration. For the present we gire The Journal the full benefit of its charges against the "result of the copperhead triumph at the state election in 1862." These little item the republican organ says will be felt long after the Democartic psrty " is blot ted out from the list ol political organuition.'' Hare the tax-pajers of Indisna been benefit tel by a change of administration? Hare their burdens been in any way diminished by the party ia power? Are the taxes, the public burdeus, less than thej were two or four jetrs ago? IL-s the state debt been diminished by the dominat.t party? lias the national debt been lessened by abolition policj?

If the war should terminate at an early day it is estimated that the public debt will not be has than six thousand milliou- of dollar and in addition the current expends of the pot ernmci.t will be rastly increased. 1 it not likely that these burden will befell by the tax payers of Indiana, long after the republican party, the union party, or the prty in power, by whateTcr came it cm be known, is bljtted out Irom :he liat of political organization?

Loag hesds and thoughtful minds hae detL'ei many a scheme to iare the country frora the danger of inflated prices, produced by inflated currency. To day the commnnity i on the Tere of ruin from a contraction as unprecedented as it was un tntici pated The total amount of currency has not diminished. On the contrary, it has gone on slowly, but gradually incretsir.. A considc r.tblo

amOUOL L. UttTIl inuii'Ji at ii j niiutiuau iiuu if at all, but for a moment. .Money iniit be made abundant in order to float the loani ro nuired bv the Povernmr.T, and every larce adJi tional i.sue mutt, to some extentat least, rejuire J an additional iseue of currency, which must nccensarily tend to increase the inflation. Yet, in apite of this, there hs been within the past week a fall ia price so extraordinary and üosu Jden that fortune after fortune has been swept away, and universal bankruptcy promises, if this storm is cot stayed in a few dTf. to engulf too com cuercial community. Never, perhaps, wa so foolish and senseless a panic known. People deem blind to the fact that high prices were the result of inflition, and not sicaplj the revolt of war; and they eecot entirely to forget that until the i.-suirig of loans ceases, and until some system i not only devised, bni actually placed in operation, by which the inteie5i oa the public debt and the annual budget can be provided for, the present inflation of currency mut continue. I'cace may be near at hand. It ruay be that we are again to boast a r.nited country, but even then it will uke month upon tnonthi before the expenditures of the government cn be reduced sufficiently to come within the limits of taxation, and it will require hun dreds of millions to settle the unliquidated claims, the payment of which has, heretofore; simply been delayed from absolute inability to meet them. Until this happens, inflation must go oa. I nere is no remedy, innation is a nec essary evil consequent upon the creation or a debt cf enormous magnitude, with unparalleled rapidity, at a very time, too, when the productive power of the county and the reil capital of the community have beeu actually diminished. There was but one way to provide the rccessary uean3 for euch a debt. That was to make paper money abundant and paper profits easy. The result has been marvelous, but its eud is equally inevitable. The panic of the day may yet have the disastrous effect of forcing the national banks into li'iuidtion. Already shrewd men arebeginniuR to show their distrust of theo corporation, trading upon a margin of ten per ccQt.&nd baling large loins out ecured by pledged of provisioua and securities which havo largely depreciated in value within the past few days. Considerable amounts of national bank currency have been exchanged for United States notei, which are legal tenders. Distrust in one ofthe banks will create distrust in all. The notes are so similar that the public will not stop to discriminate, and, once fairly thrown out, the larger portion ofthern will be forced to wiüd up. Thia would, no doubt, cause a contraction, which would be most severely felt, but it would only tend to increase the evil, not to lessen it. The ouantities of trovernment securities thrown upon the market wonld necessarily cause a fall in the price. Subscriptions would totilly cease, and government would have co re source left but to pay out its compound treasury notes and its eeveu thirties a currency, and thus more than restore its present volume. We mar turn it as we will, but we must learn in the end that inflition can have but one result. Tho tendency to over speculation, and the inevitable ride in prices of all property having real value may bo checked from time to time, but they cannot bo permanently stayed. Temporary fluctuations cannot be foretold. - Iheenectsof the present panic mar be terribly disastrous. Ruinous losses may befall holders of securities whose only value is speculative, and every specie of property may be temporarilv greatly depreciated, but the ultimate results is none the less inevitsht. New York Ti ews Milltttry Interference in Elections The Boston Courier congratulates the country upon the passage of the law to prevent officers of the army and navy rom interfering in elections?! ia tue states, liaaja. " Had the act been passed at an earlier date, eo that direct and indirect military interference with the last fall elections had been understood by the people to be illegal and to subject the offenders to punishment, there can scarcely be a doubt that Maryland. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York would hare cast their votea for McCIellan. These, with the votes thrown by Kentucky, New Jersey and Delaware, would have tecurcd a democratic majority." While there can te little doubt that if there had been no military interference with the last fall elections, they would have resulted as The Courier states, we are by no means confident that if the law had been iu existence at that time it would have prevented such interference. The o facers who interfered with elections were trans gressing law ia fact in doing so, but this consideration did not restrain them, which augurs ill for their observance of a more explicit statute. The contempt for law and for the right of political opponent which perroitteJ their intervention in elections mut be eradicated Lefore we can hope they will treat with respect legal restrictions, however clear.

There is uoauthority on the part of the confederate irovrnment to force the 1atttr clasi back into the ranks. - This fact is plainly admitted in the addies of the confederate congici to the üouthern people, issued at tha close of the session. So terrible has been the effect of this depletion upon the rebel armies that the entire force urder Lee, at RichmonJ aud Petersburg, is said to be onlv ;U,0UM tioons, and that Johnston's whole armv embraces only 42,000 troops, made up as follows: Hardee's force, la.COO; Hampton carslry, ;,CV)0; Clieitham com?. lU.Ul'U; and UrafTir tioop-, I'J.UOU.

JJu; those resour ces are not available, l here : nor, as always, the means of raising abundant crops at the eouih, but there are no mean of getting those crops to market. Their railroads, ia constant use for four yesra, are worn out; to repair thera they have r.cilher the material nor the skilled labor necessary. Their transportation has beeu either destroyed, captured, abandoned or worn out. They did manufacture several hundred cars and a large number of locomotives, in aud I8G3, at Savannah, Macon; Augusta, Atlanta, Fayttteville and Charleston. ut all their most valuable machinery for this purpose has now been either capture I ani oW.roved. exctot what h at Richmond sr.il or.o or Lno oth point.

Some manufactori?? ol shoe, bat?, leather and cloth, were established at an early period of the war, but they never prospere j and none of them arc now ia operation. Tho bu?ine?3 of blockade runnicg wa attended with euch success, until the fall of Wilmington, that the south depended entirely npon Kurope for their supplies of shoes, clothing, cloth, kc, as well as for tbe almost equal necespary articles of coffee, te3, su gar, liquors, &c. These supplies, and many others, arc now cut off, and the south, as a ration, cannot exist withoat them. THE SOUTH DKSTlTfTi: Cf THE MUNITIONS Or VTAT. iNl) Of THE NKA.VS OF fROMPIXQ THf.M. But a still more grievous loss than this, however, has befallen tho south, in consequence of Sherman's march across the states of Georgia, South Cirolica aud Xotth Carolina. This con sists in the loss of all their arsenals and manufactories of cauren, muskets, swords, and gunpowder, except thoe at Richmond and one or two other places. Tbe manufacture of these munitions of war was carried on very extensively, not onlv at Fayettcvlllc, but alsa at Rileigh, Danville, Lynchburg, Cberaw, Camden, Columbia, Charlotte. Augusta, Charleston. Sivannah, Milledgcville, Macon, Atlanta, and Mobile. Of all these place, tbe factories and foundries at Danville and Lyuchburg are the only ones that are now in operation, and eveu they are no longer considered safe. They will probably be destroyed or blown up in a few days. Those at Raleigh and Mobile were removed, it is said, a week or two ago. Those at Macon and Augus ta, it is said, have been destroyed quite recently. Tboje at Atlanta, Charleston and Stvannah were removed before thoe place were evacuated. Those at Columbia, Camden, Cheraw, and Fay ettcvillo fell into the hands of Ucneral feherman. Thus, from the want of the very munitions of war, the south is unable to carry on tho contest much longer. The muskets which the soldiers of Lee and Johnston carry in laeir hands, and the ammunitiou in their caissons, constitute their whole supplies of these essentialities, except those that are ia the arsenals and magazines of Richmond and of one or two other places. thf rriinM cr foreign inteevfntion AT LAST.
