Paran Moskt.?ln revolutionary times,apecie qnickly disappears from circulation.?Those who have it, hoar.l it, and never bringIt outaa long as the political troubles continue.A. paper circulation, based upon the credit ofthe Government, necessarily supplies the va-cuum, and the fluctuations in the value of thenew medium depend of course upon the popular faith in the stability of ihe Go* eminent.In Great Britain, for instance, the notes ofthe Bank of England were made a lawfultender by the act of I>.»<, and continued to beBo fcrtvrenty years, without depreciation, andwithout creating any distress among the peopis. Tbe reason is obvious, The people hudunbounded confidence in the stability of theGovernment, aud its disposition to act hon-eetly. In Prance, on the contrary, the assitr-

. natt underwent a woeful depreciation, andmined everybody who dealt largely in themAgain, tbe reason is obvious. The i.e..; 'c hadno confidence in any one ol the (Livernuientswbich were set up and pull.t.l down at thepleasure ol a mob. The H'??-,, of yesterdaymorning. contained an extract on the subject,from LiMAKiiM. i hi*tory of the Girondists.We translate it. and commend it to the atten-tion of all whom it may concern, whom wetake to be everybody m the ConfederateStill "S

"To supply the want of gold and silver,wbich aacßßed to have suddenly evaporated,the Constituent Assembly created a. papercurrency, under the nameof Atsitf.intt. J bateouildentiai money, if the people and thoogblproper to aadarstaad and adopt it, wouldnave ausvAcrcii every purpose of a metalliccurrency. It would have multiplied trans-actions between private individuals,the wages of labor, dtookargeil taxes, andrnaffsarutod thepries of land.

The aaajgaata ntilod te constitute a goodsurrency for a variety of masons, apart fromtho established habits ol tlie French people,who had been accustomed to no other medium(ban gold uud stiver, and had come, fromhabit., to regard those rr.-Mula not asthe representatives of value, but as pos-aea-iiig a certitin, absolute, intrinsic value oftheir own, altogether disconnected with thething they were intended to represent. Theyhad, moreover, no confidence iv tho Goveru-tneut, or rather iv tho succession of Govern-ments by which they were issued. Theyknew them ail to be composed of public plan.derers, who would be faithful to no engage-ment auy longer than it suited their interester convenience to ho so. Had they, beenever so honest., ami ever so well disposed to?omply with their obligations, they saw nothow it could possibly be done. There wa*.Buthing iijn.li which to base a credit. Hi-sidesall this, the enemies of France took early amiaative measures to discredit litis paper. Fo-reign Governments al war with her, wereaccused of purchasing it in large quantliie-,aud throwingit upon the market. The Frenchsoldiers carried it along with them into thecountries they invaded, and forced the iiibabi.tanis to take it at its nominal value. [Jsarersgot hold of it, aud employed it in jmu;a.a.in-whatever was for sale. The BgnKs of theGovernment Bought it up, and used it ia thesame manner; for there was a law punjabingwith death any who objected to taking it atpar. But, above all, there was no restrictionupon the iss'ie. Beams upon reams werethrown upon the coumry, nnd ot course ilbecame valueless.

Now, it is very certain thai our Governmentwill be comjielled to create a paper circulationef Borne sort, if we ar* expected to carry onthis war?and we hope there is no idea ofabandoning it. What that circulation may he,we know not; but it is pretty evident that wehave not the specie. We would sugirc-jt tothose who are rendered timid by the fate ofthe French asssgnaft, that the cases art notparallel. Proper restrictions could be laidupon the power of circulating, bo as to obvi-ato the danger of depreciation by undue ex-pansion. The new earraney would have fori*s basis the untold wealth of the whole?Southern country. The |>eople would nothesitate to take it, whatever shape it mightassume, because they have entire confidencenot only in the stability, but in the honesty ofthe Government, und its resolute deiermina-iion to ineei ev\ary oVtiirat ion that it Btay in-cur. We have no hesitHiion, than, in Bayingthat it is not only possible, but easy to -applya medium which shall answer all our par-poses as long as we are isolated from the restof tbe world, und which will be redeem..! wilhgold and silver when the day Bball have ar-rived that shall witness the rupture of theidockade, and the resumption of Hade wilhEurope. The Yankees cau borrow money, itseems, upon the faith of uori.ing at all, fortheir Government has nothing, ami can oaVrnothing as security. It is hard iliul we, withall our wealth, cannot raise the sums whichBat necessities require.

Tna Fedkiai. Arxt in Wf.stkrn Vir-oisia.?Thear_y of Hosf.m-iianz lately en- jcamped on Sewell is believed to be about six jor aeven thousand men. lint a small force, junder an enterpiimui' commander, in a conn- jtry where it can readily obtain supplies, can !be handled with more case and greater ellec, |than a large body, not as well equipped aud re- ;mote from its supplies, no matter thongh con-trolled by equal skill and judgment. We had jeappoaed that of all the defences of Virginia, jher mountain ramparts would lie the most re- !liable. We should have looked to any other ipart of the State except that as a vulnerable jpoint. Cheat Mountain alone was a Gibral-tar, which sould lie defended by a hundredmen armed with rocks and branches of trees.There are other positions in tbo West, no! of

, equal strength, but which could be made impregnable B'raiHet any foe The militia of theWest, armed only with old -fashioned rifles,could defend many of those luouutaiu passesagainst the whole Federal army in WesternVirginia.

.Kiu-h was tbe impression of mere civiliansignorant of everything pertaining to militarylaaitars, except the character of the countryand the character of the people. We kuewthat in the colonial wars the riflemen ofWestern Virgiuia had proved the most value.Lie and efficient soldiers of the British crown;that if the British martinet Ba ADtiof X badtaken the counsel of tbe volunteer soldier,fiSOKOK Wabmibovos,he would have escapedabomiliating defeat,aud that the only redeem.tag lustre which era- shed on that gloomy die.astor biased from tbe death dealing rlßea ofWestern Virginia We did not, howevor, takeinto aeeoaut that a portion at tbe people oftVestera Virginia would prove faithless to

would have to depend for their supplies upona distant point, suller severely from privation-*of food and clothing, and be decimaied intheir own tents by disease, more destructiveeven than Irattle.

At the same time, it seems to us that amountainous region like Western Virginia uflords but, little scope tor the ordinary prim i[dee of scientific warfare. The guerilla andI BOOM taclics seem to BBj peculiarly adapted to

v region where il is impossible to bring largoi-oviiesof troops into action, and where morecan ia* accomplished by men witii M littleclothing and paraphernalia as a patty of deerhuiiiere, tiiaii aheavyarmy, loaded dowawithbaggage.

Nevertheless, be will make tin- attemptand such a thing as " winter qnarterg " eannoil>e found in bin vocabulary.

"Winter quarters,'' in fact, is an obsoleteidea among the military men of modern times.Even iv the old wars of America, our glori-

ous ancestry WBfl not tied up to ''winterqaartera." »The anew chid regions of Canadawere invaded ia midwinter, and it was overfrogea rivers that Wa.shim.toi led his sol-diers with bare aad bleeding feet to their it! i-

riaua victories in New Jersey. We lave aInner and n more inspiring cause than everWAsiuMiroN defended. We must take novote of winter, except to provide our troops.shelter and clothing, and derive new energyfrom, its healthful airs and bracing winds Sofur as going into "winter quarters" implies in-action daring the winter, ac apprehend thatno Southern Qeneral dreams of anjrsnefa sui-cidal imbecility.

The Cofn Sttel.? If. has remained ftirthis extraordinary war, not only to break thespell of invincibility, which once attached toregular soldiers, but to (lemons!rate that theyrannot stand a bayonet charge of Southerntroops. A great French General says: "Thebullet is foolish ; tbe bayonet only is wise.'' A 1loni-taivVheetieiay. prot hied with Fiifie-'d riflesaud eaanen <>f vast ranire. can blaze awayfrom Biiiiiire to Brntaat; but it is the close bagwith cohl steel which affords the best tent ofbackbone. In the battle near Springfield, theSecond Regiment of United Stales regularinfantry was cut to pieces by a bayonet chargeofal-ouanana volunteerregiment. Thi* i* butone illustration of the force of eld steel in?he haiiilaof determined men. The peoutiarvim ami prowess of our people in hand-to handencounters aaggestfl the propriety of armingthem, where muskets and bayonets cannot beObtained, with boarding pikes, an excellentBahaUtnte for the bayonet, or the bowie-knife,one of those mechanical appliances for dis-solving the, Union which io not to be des-pised.

Bit.lv Vv"it.son's Zot'AVcs.? This notoriousregiment of cut throats ami villains has enjoy-ed the undeserved honorof being cut to piecesby tbe hands of gentlemen. Not one of themiserable gang was worthy of any death hut

ihy the common hangman. It is fib the ever-j lasting infamy of New York that she deiibe-j rat.ely collected together this hand of confessedj robbera, murderer*, and scotiii.lrelH, and organ

j rabaa paaeioßa of their Batarea upon the Southjem people. Every one remembers the ihef»t

! ricnl till.l truculent displays which they made|in various, public piacee before leaving thatcity, such as kneeling on the ground and swear-ing that each of them would take off the head

', of a Sonthern rebel. Every one remembersj how that clerical ruffian, But. Dr. TyPO- agar.

Fko'irai. Exaoolrations?-An inadvrr-tant illustration of the stylo of Federal exag-geration occurs in the Indiana Jlegitter, edited by lion. S. Colfax, member of tho Federa! Congress. The Remitter is defendingGeneral Fkkmont from the charge of notsending reinforcement* to Mulliuan at Lexsngton. It states that five thousand of Fit*-Host's best armed and best equipped troopshad been sent lo Washington, and that onlyeight thousand were left at St Louis, where itwas confidently asserted Phkbokt had fortythousand under his command. How all thistallit;« with the Northern accounts of vastnaval expeditions, embracing from twenty toone hundred thousand men, now fitting out iv\u25a0Northern cities for various points on tbeBouthera coast, we do not profess to explain,except upon the ground that tbey are merelyteinte, Intended to divert our Generals fromthereal lunge ol the war?Mstuusa.

At abont <5 o'clock A. hi. n messenger fromonr picketsreported the enemy advancing infull force,-wtiii cannon, wagons, aud every-thingnecessary, and indicative oi an Imme-diate attack. Two companies were promptlydispatched ia double-quick time to sustainour jiicltets, and check their advance untilour camp was put in a thorough state of de-fence, in l"*s than thirty ntinu" «we wereready to receive our enemy with?nol open,but loaded areas. At c, o'clock aad 4i min-utes our whole forceof pickets?probably twohundred?holding an advantageous positioniaashori bend in the road,abont one mitefrom camp, and under the immediate com-mand of Col. E. Johnson, -.cured such a fulland steady charge of musketry into theirranks as 10 confuse and -caller the wholecolumn. Lieut. J. Or, Gibson deserves to oementioned here, (odßCer of the jacket,i as be-ing cool ami calculating septal toaayeanar-gency. In this fight wish our pickets,vbajiwereonly driven back by a flank movement*of the enemy, end in the thickest of whichthe intrepid Johasoa was constantly seen,we lost, in killed ami wounded, live men.--Our j>ickf*ts being at List compelled tafall brick from post to poet, merely escapedbehind our entrenchments, in a perfectshower of grape and canister. All ofour avail.ible pieces, live 6-pounders, in-cluding one rifle piece, was imme.iiHteiyOpened upon thorn of the enemy, eight in num-ber, Includingone 1.-pooad howitaer. For sixmortal, rather anaawtal, long hours these ter-rible engines efwar lepllsd to each other sofuriously as to drown effectually the continu-ous rattling of musketry, c'ajn.
