Russel in 2 letter to the London Times that sbe initiative article of the Incelligencer upon the Mason and Slidell affair was “furnished by the State Department; and soeagets that Mr. R thould practice more prudence diserimina- Hon in his statement of facts, generally, than he Preecribes to himself. ‘The Republican bas another fing at the finance Bystem of Secretary Chase. ‘TRE CURRENT SUSPENSION OF #PECTR payments the banks, we apprehend, will scarcely disturb general business of the country; insomuch e« ‘all were fairly prepared for it. It is,in plain Bnglish, simply the result of the failure of Con- (Gress up to this time to levy sufficient substantial faxes for the due prosecution of the war. 1t was ‘well enough to start upon the policy of obtaining Soans to that end, but that should long since have been strengthened by according to lenders the sub- ‘stantial security of sufficient taxation to pay inter- ext, &c., beyond all peradventure. That taxation ‘would have speedily returned to the financial ‘centers of trade, the coin advanced by those centers to the Government in the shape of war loaus : those centers being the points or parties from whence the bulk of the loans have been made. Without that taxation, the money expended over the country at far distant points from those centers, remains where expended, in so great amounts as to threaten utterly to destroy the balance of trade, by gradually stripping the financial and commercial centers of their due proportion efcoin. Besides, the uncertainty of the future of the Tolted States tn these war times, naturally sends home a far larger portion of American socks held sbroad, for sale; thus transferring (to England principsliy) a far larger portion of American specie than usual; most of which, too, | istaken directly from the banks of the financial jeenters. That the latter, as sirony ss they are, _ ould not much longer sustain themselves under ‘this double pressure for their coin, bas for some time past been“ plain. The only wonder, there- fore, is, that they did not suspend weeks ago It depends wholly on Congress when they can safely. resume specie payments. If that bedy come promptly up to the work of taxing thetr constituents for war purposes, as is absolutely necessary, that action will doubtiess be promptly followed by a general resumption; as {t will in- sure the due retura of the money expended by the Government in the war, tothe financial centers, and will also stop the return of Ametican stocks held abroad beck, upon us _—_— AbaMe’ Exprees.—The managers of this so useful institution have with characteristic energy greatly enlarged their facilities st this point to enable them to satisfactorily perform the increased Work thrown upon the Express a0 suddenly by the war. They bave just completed s specious new depot tn front of the railroad station, and imme- diately upon the arrival of the trains the express csrsaretsken into this depot, and the work of delivery is expeditiously entered upon. The de. Dot is 190 feet long and 60 feet wide, with 2 plat- form in the rear of 30 feet. There is also in the a large shed for the protection of wsgons, such goods as may be left out.

There is also a large space beneath the building for storing such uncailed-for articles as may accumulate. As now completed, the arrangements of the ex- Press company for the transaction of business are not surpassed in any city In the country, and are sufficient to ensure the Prompt delivery of all ar- ticles forwarded, unimpeded by any conceivable Tush of business.

We learn that a general order will shortly be issued defining the future relations of the sutlers to the army, under the new law just passed. Our impression, after careful inquiry, is that !t will be decided that this new law places them whoily under the “rules and regulations’’ of the service in all things but with reference to their Lens on the soldiers’ pay, the abrogation of which is anderstood to have been designed by Congress in passing Senator Wilson’s bill. If the expected general order bears out this impression of ours, the sutlers as well as the menu may be congratulated upon the change, which will relieve both from being plundered by individual officers in the shape of unjust and improper taxation for the individual benefit.
