‘@nece 1836; and the movement is likely to continur, until it nearly reaches the same extent, The most extravagant anticipations have been formed relative to the supply of bullion from California and ifone “half is realized, we may look for a temporary inflation in prices for every epecies of property in which a tion can be carried om, to anenormousextent. The addition of alarge amount to our present supply of g0ld, would create an enormous expanrion in our paper ourrency, the effect of whish can be very easily im- agined. The expansion in this State would not, per- aps, be so large as in others, on account of our pecu. Mar system of banking; but our safety fund banks ‘would, no doubt, go to the full extent of the law regu- lating their circulation, and our free banks, as far a: ‘their seeurities would permit. The receipt of twenty millions of gold would increase our paper circulation full one hundred millions of dollars This ioflation Of public credit would create, of course, a correspond- ing inflation in private credit, activity in all the de. »partments of industry, and, av a natural consequence, ‘an advance in prices for property of all kinds. ‘The Committee on Finance in the Legislature of ‘Virginia bas made a report on the revenue and ex penditures of the State. The aggregate amounts to $8,368.767 37, of which the State agent holds the amount of $1,464,876 07, making the actual debt outstanding $6.903,891 30. The whole amount of funds held by the State, is $11,517,340 28, of which amount interes, and dividends are only received on $6 807.633 69. The ‘State is liable for guarantied bonds for different works to the amount of $6,031,739 76. The earliest period for redemption, for any portion of the debt, ‘s January ‘Ast, 1850, when $245,000 of 5 per cents will be due — ‘The committee do not point out any way in whioh this amount can be raised. The condition of the revenue of Virginia is highly satisfactory. The balance in the treasury on the lst of October last, was $104,185 58, which, with the esti- mated revenue for the present fiscal year, will leaves Jarge balance on hand ou the Ist of October, 1849 Finances or Vincinta—Receirts axp Exrenpi- TURES.

Of the remainder, it is highly probable tha; about $261.600 will not be required; $744,000 of the Joan to the James river company is provided for; leay- Ang $1,082,766 41 of those appropriations, for which pro- vision must be made at an early day. At the last ses- tion various acts were parsed authorising liabilities to the amount of $1,908,850, Of this, about $140,000 ha, Deen paid, and upwards of $400,000 will certainly be required. Of the residue, amounting to about $1,300,000, it is highly probable nothing will be called fer except the appropriations to the new Shenandoah company, and the Alexandria and Orange Railroad Company, two improvements of great importance to the country through which they pass, and to one ofthe prineipal towns of the Stato. So that the almost certain demands upon the treasury, under the various laws of the last two sessions, will amount to not less than $2,000,000, exclusive of the Ioan to the James river and Kanawha company; of which large suin about $1,600,000 will be required in the years 1849 and 1850. The finances of North Carolina are not repro- tented by the Governor as being in a very prosperou, condition. The State debt amounts to $786 500, of which $600,000 are payable after 1860, and $286,500 payable by instalments after 1845. Both these amounts have been assumed by the State, in aid of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company. To meet the interest of these debts the treasury requires $45,000 per annum, and $25,000 asa sinking fund, making an aggregate 0, $70,000; the current expenses of the governmon: amount to $70,000; so that an income of $140,000 is required to enable the treasury to meet its payments. The preeent income of the State is $96.000. This, it s estimated, might be raised to $100,000 by levying @ and tax anda poll tax, and evea with this there will ba @ deficiency of $40,000,to be made up from other sources. The Governor recommends an issue of State bonds having ton years to run, to meet the interest on the $500,000 deb:, and the instalments aud interest of ihe other, making proper provisions for redemption ef he new issue of bonds at the end of the ten years, by establishing « sinking fund of about $25,000 per xion ef the finances of the State with thore of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company has involved the State in heavy responsibilities The Giebursements of the road exceeded its receipts lat year about $25,000, and the Governor recommends the Legislature to adopt such measures as the exi- gencies of the case require. He suggests that one of ‘the follewing methods be adopted :—Ist. A re-sale to the former stockholders by compromire of the suits now pending, if suitable terms be cffered. 2d. To re- tain it ass permanent property of the State, after r2- pairing itin the best manner. 31 To unite it with the Raleigh and Charlotte road, connecting with the! from Charlotte to Columbia, S.

INTELLIGENCE GY THE MAILS, Wasninaton, Dec. 19, 1943, Mowments wm the Cantal. Things have b en very dull here for the last tew days, and itis not likely that there will be muek stir Ull after the holidays. J learn that a movement is in progress to bring Bullitt, of the New Orleans Pweayune, here, totake the old “National Whig” office, and make an eters te become the organ of the new admiaistra- 10n. Gallagher, of the Richmond Republican, bas some idea of coming here to start a paper. Gidecn, a book and job printer here, commences a whig paper on the lst of January. Thus you eee that there are lots of competitors for the organship here. The geeat. complaint, however, on all sides, 18, that there is “no secu- nty”—no solid basis on which to repose hope and confiden It is said—but with what degree of wuth | know +ot—that Ballitt’s paper has been a sort of confidential organ for Taylor. The special committee on the reporting busi- ness has not yet been appointed. An interesting debate occurred to-day on the bill giving the contract to Aspinwall, &e , tor build- ing a railioad across Isthmus of Panama. The resolution calling for information about Cuba was offered to-day. Invitations are out from Mavor Seaton, to a dinner given “by him and certain citizens of Washington,” to take place at Coleman’s on Wed- nesday evening. It is to be a sort of Taylor din- ner. Wasuinaton, Dec. 18, 1848. Cheap Postage—Mr. Johnson's Report, and Major Hobbre's Suggestions, The Unvon, in an article referring to the reeemt meeting in favor of cheap postage, held in New York, observes :— ‘ We would approve the object with all our heart, if such an arrangement (three cent letter postage) could be effected without again quartering the post office upon the treasury, But it is estimated. both by the Postmaster General, and, we understand. by Major Hobbie. that it could scarcely be reduced to 8> lows rate, witbout drawing on it for one millton of dollars or more, to supply any deflotency that may arise in the disbursements, We truat it will rapidly approach that maximum ; and we have no doubt. that with the aid of Majer Hobbiv. and a Postmaster General whose energy equals that of Cl, Johnson, the next administer may rea ize the problem.”? This is the first reference which has been made, in the official organ, to Major Hobbie’s opinion as regards a reduction of postage; and it is not, strictly speaking, correct. We stated, some time since, that Major Hobbie had prepared a report upon the subject of cheap postage and the post office department generally, which he had submit- ted to Mr. Johnson. Such 1s the case, we under, | etand; but, for some reason or other, the report haw | not, as yet, been allowed to see the light. The miserable ‘outline report” of the Postmaster General, has now been before the country a sufficient time to get an expression of opim- | 1on upon it, and it has received almost untver- sal ridicule—and from no quarter praise. Mr. Jobneon, after croaking at great length about the franking privilege, briefly states that a uniform letter postage ot five cents may pay; but from the manner in which he orings it ont, as well as from the tetal absence of any data, it is evident that, im making the admission, he does so unwillingly, aad with the desire that it may not be acted upon. Major Hobbie, who is a peneciacy of great experi- ence and enlightened mind, represents, in his smothered report, as we learn from good authori- ty, that a uniform rate of three cents postage om letters would be sufficient,upon certain conditions. He then mathematically demonstrates his position, and furnishes ample data to show that the conel! sion he has arrived at 18 founded upon facts and actual observation. He calculates that a three cents rate will be ample upon all the great routes ; but that upon some of the thinly settled roads it will notpay. He then argues that it is unfair, be- cause of this deflviency, to tax one portion of the community alone, by ;lacing a higher rate upon | all letters, and thus creating a surplus upon some | routes for the benefit of others; but that, as the | deficiency must be made up in some way, he con- | siders that the tax should be uniform upon all classes, and that Congress should therefore make itup. He also estimates that the reduced rate of newspaper postage will not pay on some routes, for the same reasons as advanced in the case of let- | ters, and makes a similar suggestion for the liqur- dation of the Gee a These two items he cal- culates at halt a mulion of dollars, and not, as he Union asserts, “ one million or more.” With reference to the franking privilege, as it is a tax whish must, in any event, come outof the pockets of the people, he can see no good reason why the extra expense should be made, of employing an increased number of clerks to keep a set of books, nwhich government and congreesional postage should be charged. The simpler and less ex- pensive. mode wou'd be to make an annual half a million of dollar appropriation of | which would cover all the ofhcial postage | every description. It will be seen trom. this | brief eketeh, that Major Hobbie assigns good reasons for all his 3; and we doubt | pionoe not, if his report is allowed to see the light, it will be seted upon. The great post office retormer of England, Rowland Hull, looks upon a reduction of | our present rate of postage as impossible; and cer= tainly, if with our immense extent ot territory. a | reduction to even five cents can be made, it will far excel in economy the penny-post system of Britain, where the country 18 only a few hundred | mules in extent, and where splendid roads have for centuries past connected every town and ham let. The argument in favor of an appropriation being made by Congress, to make up the defi- ciency which may arise in sparsely settled places, | instead of unduly taxing the mercantile commu- | nity, which is the great class interested in postal communication, 18 a novel, but not the less strong ne. | The closing sentence in the Union's paragraph, which speaks of the next Postmaster General, and expresses a hope that he wili be a man whose energy shall equal that of the present incumbent, is beautifully sarcastic. The very idea of Cave John- son's “energy” is sufficient to puta person te sleep; but to fancy that such another energetic in- dividoal can be found ia the limits of the United | States, is fully equal toa dose of cloroform. |. We trust, if Mr. Johnson will not communicate Major Hobbie’s report to Congress, that some member will eall upon him to do so. It would be a pity if, through the narrow-mindedness of the Postmaster General, the able views of his assist- at ocal be prevented from going before the | public. | Wasuinaton, Dec. 18, 1848, Short Commons Clayton must take the State Department. His | friends demand it. The foreign missions and the | consulates have to be overhauled, and the friends of Mr. Clayton are not to be put off. They were disappointed in 744, and they have waited long enough. Put thatin your pipe and smoke it.
