with a certain number of men, and are anxious to measure swords with Tom Crittenden. It was a little amusing to see the antics which this "bright son of an aged parent" cut before our troops came to Russellville, Tom had audaciously crossed Green river and stationed some of his motley followers at South Carrolton, about 40 miles from Russellville, From all accounts not a pig, nor an egg, nor a bit of poultry, was safe in the neighborhood of these protectors. They slew, killed, and ate with a relish unknown since the sheet was let down to Peter. But Tom got wind that Floyd and Buckner had come to town, and forthwith he tucked tail and led his ragged regiments in double-quick across Green river. Whether our Generals will winter at Russellville, depends on the movements of the enemy. I can see no chance for a fight now. Indeed, upon a careful view of the field in Kentucky our right wing seems the only portion of our army seriously exposed, and that is now put in a condition to de

ention by me, and the reference to their running on the present occasion is made as being a part of history, and as showing that scarcely any rule is so universal in its application as not to have exceptions. The centre of the army is at Bowling Green. With the finest troops in the world around him; with fortifications that would "laugh a siege to scorn," and with able and brave counsellors at his side, General Johnston awaits the approach of the grand army with perfect composure. I have carefully examined the fortifications on the hill overlooking Bowling Green, and can only say in general terms that it surpasses anything I have ever seen in the military line. In my judgement, it is impregnable; and it will stand to tell to distant ages the genius of Sydney Johnston. The left wing rests on Russellville. Here Floyd and Buckner are posted with a certain number of men, and are anxious to measure swords with Tom Crittenden. It was a little amusing to see the antics which this

sufficient currency to carry us to the end of the next fiscal year. 30th June, 1863. The sum is too frightful to be tolerated. This is the language of an Administration man, a prominent Pennsylvanian, a hot advocate of the war. It is their own statement of their own case by the oracles of Yankee sentiment. They confess that it will require the issue of thirteen hundred and fifty millions of dollars to pay the present floating debt of the Federal Government, and to carry on the war till July of next year. The aggregate Federal date will thus be, taking in the old debt, and the two hundred millions sold of the debt authorized last summer, sixteen hundred and fifty millions of dollars. This amount results from estimating expenses at the rate of two millions a day, but it is well known that these expenses are near three millions. The probabilities are, therefore, that, instead of the 1st of July, 1863, finding them with a debt of sixteen hundred and fifty millions, it will fi

There is now a floating debt, audited and unaudited, of one hundred and thirty millions. The daily expenses of the Government are now about two millions. To carry us on till the next meeting of Congress will take six hundred millions more, making about seven hundred millions to be provided for. But as this Congress must provide for appropriations to July, 1863. seven months more must be added to these expenses. That would require four hundred and twenty millions, which, added to the amount before estimated, makes eleven hundred millions. If the first seven hundred millions is forced on the market. I have no doubt that the bonds would sell as low as sixty per cent, as in the last year; and even then, it would be found impossible to find payment in coin. But a large part must be accepted in the depreciated notes of non-specie paying banks. If

The probabilities are, therefore, that, instead of the 1st of July, 1863, finding them with a debt of sixteen hundred and fifty millions, it will find them with a least two thousand millions, failing as a charge of one hundred and twenty millions annually to the account of taxation. The bill now just passed imposes a tax of one hundred and fifty millions, and makes every man who has a debt due him or property to sell to receive payment in Government notes, which Stevens thinks must go down to sixty cents in the dollar.

Federal Finance. A significant debate occurred last week in the Federal House of Representatives, on the bill which has subsequently passed, authorizing the issue of a hundred and fifty millions of Treasury notes, payable on demand, and of five hundred millions of Federal bonds, containing, also, a provision requiring the notes of the Government to be receivable in payment of all public and private debts as a legal tender. Mr. Spaulding, of New York, representing the district of Mr. Seward, and a leader of the House, said in the debate, "we all agree that taxation must, in various forms, be imposed to the amount of at least one hundred and fifty millions of dollars, on which to rest the credit of these notes and bonds. In the second place, we agree that hereafter the war must be carried on principally upon the credit of the Government, and that paper, in the form of notes and bonds, must be issued to an amount equal to our expenditures, deducting be amount of current revenu

If the minimum discount that any reasonable man could fix say twenty-five per cent, the loss on eleven hundred millions to be sold would be two hundred and seventy-five millions. It would therefore require at least bonds to the amount of thirteen hundred and fifty millions to produce sufficient currency to carry us to the end of the next fiscal year. 30th June, 1863.

Mr. Stevens, the chief financial oracle of the House, spoke in more detail, and substantially as follows: "This bill is a measure of necessity, not choice. It provides a means in the two forms of paper authorized, of six hundred and fifty millions of dol and twenty millions annually to the account of taxation. The bill now just passed imposes a tax of one hundred and fifty millions, and makes every man who has a debt due him or property to sell to receive payment in Government notes, which Stevens thinks must go down to sixty cents in the dollar. It remains to be seen what effect these measures will have upon the pocket nerve of the Yankees. We now see why their leaders are so anxious for early victories. They want to exhilarate and ti
