For some time I have been saylm.' nothing through your columns, tir.i " ply because I had nothingr to say. As your valuable paper has a pretty rood circulation in old Pike, I want to urge upon the Union men of this eountv the necessity of urompt, ener getic and rigorous-action in the way oi organizing, l he best way 1 can think of now, b for each subscriber for the Journal (or any other good loyal, paper,) .to go- to work jn. his sct'tlement and get from ono to twenty oi ins neighbors to subscribe, lbi can be done with Tery little effb.-r, and will accomplish us much, if cot more, than a dozen barbacues and big dinners. Again I Buy, Union men of -rike, be up and doing. Uar noble little county has stood amid the general disaster of the First listrict, and can proudly claim the title of " The Bann'T County.'' Take hold of this matter at once; t?ke a copy of the Journal and go to work. The dry weather continues and will do a vast amount of injury to the wheat sown this Fall. Money matters are a little tight in this part of the country, but we hope for better times when the markets get well open. The brick walls of our Court House are nearly completed, and the edifice presents a very good sppearance. Mr. II. Mursina, of your city, was with us this week on business connected with the Court House. With the late additions made by our Com missioncrs, when the building is completed, Pike will boast of the finest Court House in the First District',and "onekof- the-fiest -in the State, and at the same time one of the cheapest. Yours, i rv F. L. & T FlLO. 1 Scheme for Specie Besmptlon. From the Cb icago Tribune. We have shown in previous articles that specie resumption, by means of forced contraction and burning up greenbacks, must bring upon the : country great financial distress, and, ferhaps, disaster. And yet, sooner or ater, we must get back to specie payments. A depreciated curj::ney cannot always be endured. JVIauy plans for spanning tho chasm have been proposed, but the only ote yet tried is that known as ' McCui'och's contraction policy." , It consists in re- ' tiring all the greenbacks from- circulation, and burning them; and when they are all destroyed the public will have no currency left but- the notes of national banks,- which' must be redeemed in gold or .the banks will pass into the hand of receivers. This may bo called the heroic method of deslio.' with the difficulty. As the bonds put in pledge by the banks as security lor their notes would not begin to sell for enough gold to redeem them, it is quite certain that hundreds -of the weaker banks would break, and, their notes becoming " wild-cat," would Occasion a general want or confidence in all the other national banks, and a simultaneous demand for coin for their notes, which would necessarily be followed by a general suspens-icii of specie payments, and probably by a terminatioa of the system, tt is pretty certain that the banks will not pay lt;0 cent in gold to the cote holders-Tor 05 or 70 cents of consid eration received uy tnem when tm--v issued their notes. Mr. McCuIloch .- i would seem to have entirely overlooked the view of the financial situati o Now in view of all the difficulties which beset any scheme of forced resumption that has yet been presented, we propose the following plan ot getting back to specie payments witnout convulsive contraction. or corapu!-ory First Let Congress repeal the act Allowing the-Secretary "of -the" Treasury to retire and destroy Ibur millions a month of legal-tender notes.. ,Scond Let Congress enact that greenbacks shall be convertible into ten-forty bonds at the pleasure of the holder. - Th'rd Let Congress enact that any class of bonds rimy be converted into greenbacks, dollar lor dollar, at the pleasure of the holder. Fourth Let the Secretary of . the Trenury be authorized to purchase five-twenties at their market price, and is.ue ten-forties ia equal amount to those who demand bonds for greenbacks, and also to give tenforties ia exchange for five-twenties on demand of the holder. Fifth Let Congress enact that the surplus revenue ia the Treasury shall, each month, be applied in the purchase of ten-forty bonds at their market price. Sirth Let Congress charge the banks for the privilege of their circulation two and a halt per cent, per annum in gold, to. be deducted from the interest on the bonds deposited with the Bank Comptroller tor the redemption of their notes. Let those ,Janks which refuse to pay ,thia.i.jx "surrender their circulation to the government: the same to be given toJ new Danism lue ouuia aim west in those States which are short of their pro rata proportion of banking capi tal; and if there be do applicants ni those terms, let the government tin the vacuum with greenbacks. V.e propose this compromise of the bai l note question as being equally i. i both to the banks and the gov.ru ment. Let each pr.rty have un equal benefit. It will be a great injury to tlie country to lose the present admirable system of national banks, and ut the tame time the people seem de

i t ( I t;; X which urt The above is let us sec 'iow ur pr In the first r greenbacks c -iv e.

By applying the surplus revenue to the purchase and cancellation of the tenforty bonds, the market price mut cf necessity advance, and as fast as they rise the value of the greenbacks will advance with them in an equal degree. There are but $ 172,000,000 jof this der scription of bond.- m the hands of the Eublic, and the Government will not ave to buy many of them hefore they will rise!-to the market value of fivetwenties. When thi. takes place the holders of the latter will begin to exchange them for 'teu.:Ibrtiee, as well as for greenbacks. A bowd having nearly f&'ty years to run, drawing five pet cent., free of taxation J ayable, priffftpal a.r;d interestm com, and convertible lcxo le al tender currency at the win of the older, must rapidiy-keeon-3 popular at home and abroad. By adopting the planhere proposed, there can be no doubt that the teu-forties would quickly rise to par with the five-twenties, which win add six orseven cents in uold to the present value of the greenback and bank note currency. But the adoption of this plan mav inordinately or injuriously inflate the' currency, says an objector. --How ean it? When there isinore. currency afloat than the business wants of the country require,; the fates of interest will fall, and then it "becomes more Erofitarde to convert 'currency into onds than to use it. - The bonds will become the great savings fund of the Amtrican- peop'e. If a portion of them are, issued, on: which one per ceut. interest fdiall be paid every hcvcnty-three days, (five times 73 mukes 3Go), every man in the Union, who had-no immediate use for his money, would chacge it into bonds.and keep u in mat lorm as long as tie could spare it. The banks would do the same thing with all their idle cash. It would be perfectly safe to- calculate that a five per cent, bond, drawing one per cent, interest every ten weeks, and convertable into legal tenders at the will of the holder, would always absorb the spare currency in the hands of the people, and would ever exercise a powerful influence in the direction of healthy contraction. At the same time the country would possess a currency susceptible of expansion when its commerce required it. Every Fall, after the new crops be gan to come to market, the banks would convert a portion of their surplus bonds into currency, and keep them in that shape until the "dull season" commenced, and the demand for money fell off, when they would change their spare currency back into bonds. r.'. " If any" "ring" or combination should be-formed to inflate the currency, they could only do it by withdrawing louds ; from the market, woiih woJuld tend to render them scarce ancLdearer, and.that would set everybody, "else converting J-currency into bonds. But if a Z? ring?' should undertake-to create a currency stringency by converting greenbacks into bonds, they would instantly cause other people to change bouds into greenback.?, to make profit osnt of the stritigeueyor to prevent it. Thus, from whatever point oview'in which this p!an i3 examined, it wilt be found to "bo self-regulating' and. exactly suited tothe financial necessities of the people. But, foj the: purpose of '-guarding against, any. possibility of unuue expansion, it-will be. very easy for Congress to provide that the maximum amount of -currency outstanding at any time, during the next two or three years, shall not exceed what it was on the first' day of January, 1867. Our belief, is, that under the scheme here proposed, it would not reach .that limit," because the increasing purchasing power of the -currency would enable less of it to transact the business-of the country, and because--the temptation to convert currency into , bonds which' could be changed back at any time, would always repress the tendency to inflation. In a few years the greenbacks would reach the newer of eold. when .the latter would come -into use as currency, and that would, obviate any'i'urther necessity for an increase ot piper currency, probably for the remainder j&f this century. The value of the forty-year gold bonds cannot help increasing; because the surplu revenue of the Governmci.t would be steadily applied to . i.eir purchase. The saving -of interest i'roji ttte conversion of the fivetwenties and the sixes of 1881 into them amount to pine-teen millions of gold per annum ;vand the saving ol halfUhe interest paid to thelanks on the;" circulation, Londs amounts to seven and a l.alf millions more,

The changes which the late war has effected in the course of trade in lead ing staples are scarcely less marked than the social and political revolu tion that has occurred. -1 he com mercial and financial results seem, in deed, to be more- sfronly established than any other. The Southern cities, which, jQxmerly controlled, undls puted, the marketiifg of the great Southern products cotton aDd to bacco seem at present to be utterly destitute of the- necessary monetary ana snipping laciiines required to resume their o!d position. ; New York, since the war, has exercised a greater influence over cotton than either New Orleans or Liverpool ; and the coming -year promises to show a still greater preponderance in our influ ehce over that staple. Bat in the course of the1 tobacco trade of the country there has been even greater development 'of the bust nc?s of New York than in cotton Before the war, nearly the whole of the great qunntities ot tobacco raised in the Ohio Valley found a market at New Orleans." But in April, 1SG1, the Mississippi River was closed by the belligerents, and remained practically closed till April, 1865. The receipts of tobacco at . New Orleans, inf -!1858, - were 87,144 : hogsheads: while for the year just ended they are only about. 16,000 hogsheads.' The inspections of tobacco in New York, in 1860, were only 24,000 hogsheads; 1865, only 13,000 hogsheads; increasing in 1864 to 112,000 hogsheads. The quantity inspected at this market since 1864 has varied from 40,000 to .100.000 hoesheads. DuriD? the current year the liold of New York upon the tobacco trade has seemed to be stronger than at any previous time. This has been mainly due to the fact that here alone have sufficient money facilities been afforded for the speculative movement that has been going on ; here alone, also, has there been a supply of shipping requisite to the distribution of the crop to the different markets of Europe. The growth cf our trade in seed leaf has been even greater than in Kentucky tobacco. In 1850 there were no more than 6,000 cases of seed leaf received at New. York. This had increased in 1S6G to 66,000 caves and will probably amount to 80,000 cases for the current year. The manufacture of tobacco at this city and in its vicinity was very actively carried ou during the war; but with the return of xeace much of this part of the business ;has returned to Virginia, where the average temperature of the atmosphere is more favorable to the work. "Baltimore has shared somewha in the northward turn, to , the tobacco trade, but her business has somewhat fallen off in favor of New York since the first years of the war. The exports of tobacco from New York and Baltimore have been as follows: From , -V. York 4H,-yM 50.41J 60,7-H St,57 ........68,133 From .
