We are glad to hear that Mr. Cobb expects to be able to bring his expenditures within the limits of his reevipts for the next fiecal year, without any suspension of the government sources of employment, excepting upon mere Jobby projects of spoils and plunder. We sre gratified to learn tbut in retrenchinents of this sort he anticipates the saving of ten or tifteen millions of dollars. Retrezehment is the universal panacea for hard times; and yet the avxicty of Mr. Cobb to avoid the necessity of a loan may possibly carry him, in his policy of retrenchment, @ little too far. It appears, indeed, that rather than resort to a | loan, Mr. Cobb would, perhaps, in the last ex- tremity, resort to a tax upon tea and coffee to supply his tressury deficienciea. Trac, it dees uot appear that be has determincd upon a tea and coffee tex: and between this tax and a loan be rhould, in avy event, as a measure of sound policy, recommend the latter alternative, The credit of our federal government is so good and sound that it could readily secure from Eoglard a loan of ten, fifteen or twenty millions bard cash upon its own terms; and twenty, fifteen, or even ten millions of hard cast thrown into the business circulation of the country, at a crisis like this, would be of immense advantage to all ite business interests. A tax upon suck prime necessities as tea and coffee, on the other hand, would ‘ceriously add to the sudden and ruinous Pressure upon our working classes—a pressure which it should be a primary consideration with the government rather to lighten than to in- crease, Heridcs, the reveunes from the customs may be more wisely increased, as indicated by our correspondent, upen articles of lu.ury, or upen such mporte as seriously cripple the opera- tions of our home manufactures Better increase the éuty upon iron, for example, than to put a duly of fifleen to twenty per cent upon tea and coffee. Upon the whole, however, onc advices of the plans and policy of the adminisiration, economi- | | cal and financial, are good and encouraging. No retrencbments are to be made ia the various work< ander progress in the public arsenals or ship- }arés, nor upon tae public buildings commenced, beyond the suspension of those works which cau- not be prosecuted during the winter season. No reduction of official salaries is proposed, and no reduction of the empleys in the various execu- tive departments. The rule of retcenchment will be directed aguinst those lobby corruptions and extravagaoces which constituted the most fruittul source of demoralimtion, stock gambling and wasteful lezinees under the la-t two adminis. trations, Every honest man will approve these featares | of the economical avd financial programme of the Cabinet. But why -bould Me, Cobb be afraid of aloun? If necessary, lot him ask for it without Jt will be better than any tax upon the ne ceswaries of subsistence, and infinitely better then the expedient of an isue of treasury notes During the twelve monks ending | with September, we shipped to Europe tome eight miltions of specie, aud supplied ite place with avy quantity ot French finery and eri, and of paper currency and paper obti- gations. Now, we want « of this specie back again, to restore our ¢ ntled financial affairs to something like an equilitriam. To this end a government loon would help us wonderfully, if becessary for the wauts of the treasury: aud to this end, instead of reda r, loc example, useful expenditures for the navy, a new order irom Coogress for balf a dozen or a dozen new war steamers. to be built forthwith, would be at once an act of public relief and of puabiic eco nomy. Our avy wily deficient ia steamers, end during the pe wt they can be built cheap for cash. But we sre a month yet from the meeting of Congress, and we doubt not that in the interval the deliberations of Mr. Buchanan and his able Cabinet will result in a series of wise and prac- ‘ical recommendations for the benefit of the treasury and the relief of the country. Tax Revortep Pow zeit.aNp.—The last English m is Swit- brought us a teport of fresh political troubles having broken ; ont in Switzerland. It is a mistake to attribute a political character to the difficulties which have furnished the grcundwork of tuis statement. The simple fact is that they ariee out of « conflict be- | tween the federal and one of the Cantonal go- verpments in regard to two rival lines of railroad: About two years ago the Swire Western Rail- | way obtained a copceesion from the Federal As- sembly to build a railway from Berne to Lau- sanpe by way of Fribourg and Oron, Council of State, or goverament of the Canton of Vaud, opposes becauee it is in favor of the line from Berne to Lausanne parsing through Morat Payerne and Yverdon, woich would traverse the territery of the Canton, The Oroa line wou'd only make a sbort eat through it from the utier of the Canton of Feibourg to thc V euro When, there. whol the capital of Vand. fore, the Cantonal government endeavored w Prevent the laying ont of patoel plans and the commencem nt of the constructions on the Oren lip the omy. of the latter calcd for tt ference of the Federal Council, while by the = constitution, is empowered 4 caves to order @ “ federal ¢ xpropriation, ate is reok je difficulty.

Matters in India are lcoking a little better for the isolated garrisons of British troops that ure | holding their own in Bengal; but there is still stout work ard hard blows before them, aod | more than that before the government at home, which bas to back them and eupply them with all the swews of war, | We do not participate in the fears or hopes, as the case may be, of many who think that Evgland wil! not be able to reconquer the revolted tertitory, or that if sue doce sbe will never find iu the native troops the loyalty they once possested. As for the re-conuest, we have every confidence in British pluck, and that perti- racity in tight which caused Napoleon to ex- claim at Waterloo, that the English were already beaten but would not own it. Apart from every political consideration—and there are many which urge the government of England to carry both the Indian and the China war to @ succees- | tut isene—the English people will never conzent to give up the contest, however great may be the saciifees they are called upon to make. So tur us regards the native feeling of loyalty, a stuoy of Asiatic character shows fo us that when once thoroughly beaten from | the field, aca their armics aud fiseat organization destroyed, they are the most obedient and loyal ; of people. A triumph over the present muti- } Deere in Inaia will, therefore, re-establich the Tongtirh rule there more firmly in the bosoma of the pcople, and consequeutly upon a more solid Yost, When Hyder Aii was triumphantly over- running the Carnatic, and come one brought,him ateport of the number of the British forces, he said—“It is not what I see, but what Ido not see that I fear.” This will be the sentiment of every Hindoo as soon as the power of Hoagland begins to chow in the arrival of reinforcements. In the far distance her power will loom up to the Indian mind with magnificent proportions. But there are already evident in Bengal causes that will produce violent effects there, and perhaps still more important changes ia Eagland. Sir Colin Campbeil, the chicf who was sent out with all speed to remedy the blunders of his pre- decessors, is so hampered and bound up with the sysiem’ of routine and the jealousy of official power that the world may yet behold in Eng- land’s army in India what it caw in her army in the Crimes. The ignorance, wilfulucss and stupiaity of the officers who controlled the management of every deportment ot her army and navy auriag the late war were 0 notorious that the world laughed with scorn, and the people of Eagland howled with disgust. Tow a parliamentary in- quiry was the result, how it reported honestly, | how this report was quashed, and the who! my | Whitewashed eo as to cover up the foul stains, is | a matter of history. | All this is owing to the syetem under which her army sud pavy are administered.

The clas government of England will do well to think of there things. If the imbecili- ty of Lord Canning can stop the practical sense of Sir Colo Campbell in his re-conqueet of Ben- gal \froutine and red-tapei#m is still paramount in the War Office--the aristocracy of England may be nearcr their doom than they now suspect, as they lie their heads upon their pillows of down bir } Faire on Orr Brvanst Likeny To re in Demany, The genetelly faverable accounts received of | the horvert sbroad have, in addition to thetr | other d'Micultice, excited » good deal of un- easinces among our farmers They have been alarming themselves unnecessarily, a will be scen by an article from the Mari Lene Bepress, gabe lisbed in another colauma. From the statements of the writer, it appears that although the grain crops in Great Britain are of an average amount | there |< a certainty that the quantity of imported wheat reqnired for the next year will not be short of five million quarters. Thia seeming paradox is explained by the etartling announceme: tained ju the came article, that the potato di-ease during toe three weeks ending the 12th of Ov tober bad assumed a virulence equal in destruc tiveness to the worst period of ite prevalence, which was in I840-—the year peevious to the | lrithfenune, To aggravate the apprehensions tospitcd hy toiv calamity, it appears that Great run Porsto Cy Bniteta car tely upon the grain crops }of the Ce moduat ws they are, to }moke ap the deficiency of food that will be | caueed by failure of the potato crop.

Under these circumstances, it may fairly be aa- eumcd thate large yortion of the five million quae tera required for home conrumption in Great Britain will be drawn from this country. Of the 4,600,000 quarters which for the last six years have been annually imported into Eugiand, the proportion of the United Stats and Canada has beea about 1,500,000, The writer of the ar- ticle referred to expressea bis doubts whother, owing to our present fiuancial diificultics and the state of credit throughout the Union geacrally, We shail be able to supply our usual quancity Our British customers nead give toemseives no ubeasivers Ou that score.

With regard to the difficulty of bringing it to the sewbourd for sbipmnent, it shou'd be re- collected that the worst period of our cmbar- racsments is over, that specie will now bs rapidly flowing in to us from Europe, and that the tirst cfforts that will be made in thie improved state of wings will be to liberate the stock of bread- stails now locked up ia the Western Be- sides, sitaough it is tiue that the oavgation of our rivers and canis will oy remain opea for a few weeks longer, the low price ot grain in the Western murkets wiil admit of its betag despateh- ed Ouring the winter by railway to our smipping porte. Southern flour can also be readily ship- ped at eny time by way of New Orleans. In presence of these facts, we are justified in con- cluding that the prices of breadstufls will not range moch lower than at present in the Euro- pean markets, and that the exportation of wheat and flour {rom this country for the next twelve months will be large. The Effect of the Commercial Crisis on the Fillbustering spirit of the United States. A little common senge is beginning to enter into the European view of the position of affairs in some of the Spanish American republics, as will be seen by a short but telling exeact from the London Zimes, which we publish elsewhere. But neither Europe nor our own country seem to be at all properly impressed with the true tone of pubhe feeling, and the evident combinations and tendencies of public questions, among the thirty millions of active, ambitious, enterprising, ener- getic, and must-be-employed population that these thirty-one republics contain. Some ot the truths that are daily forcing them- selves upon our consideration ate worthy of special remark. We bave repeatedly called et- tention to the hundreds ot thousands of men, in the vigor of youth and prime of manhood, that are pow thrown out of employment in our midst, and who are ready for avy enterprise, any pros- pect of advancement that may present itself to them. Their condition here is not like the condi- tion of the poverty stricken classes of Europe. There are no standing armies, no admitted eocial organization of superior and inferior classes, to keep them down and force them to euffiir in silence apd inaction, I{ndividual enterprise is free, and every man may go where he likes and as he likes, with arms in his hands or with- out them, provided be does not infringe the laws by making an armed organization within our territory. To this we have to add the facility with which every man among us abardon- owe vocation and takes up another, and thove mili- tary tastes tlint lead all our youth to play the soldier, and practice the use of arms at bis lei- sure, and merely as a matter of amusement. Ever since we were jon oar people bave gone on martializing them»elver, till now we are the mo-t military people on the face of the earth, and our | volunteer rervice is the most popaiar army in the world. While such i< the condition of the people, the position of our public and representative men i equally striking. During the political canva-s a year ago, Mr. Bochanau’s opponents dared not pation in the Ostend manifesto, for they weil | knew that it would operate much more to his | bevefit than to bix injury among the ma-ses Now, when a financial revulsion has swept away all the old political issues that once devided par- ties among us, and new forms of public agitation are «pringing into life, a clique of shrewd eee tional leaders are seizing upon certain popular cries, in order, if possible, to force the adwinistration into carrying vat the policy of the Ostend manife-to, Hanter, Davis, and many other of the Southern ultras, entertain a fierce determination to endca- vor to control the course of the government. While the North is extending itself over the far West, and the new free States of Minnesota, Ne- braska and Kaneas are already knocking at the doors of the Union, the South is eftervescing with the feeling that the equilibrium in the Senate must be preserved. To do this new States parti- cipating in the same social organization must be brought in; and this is the aim and object of the Southern ultras. | Cuba etands temptingly at the door, and all the old arguments ia favor of its acquisition not only hold good, but have been strengthened by the Japec of time. She is equally, if aot more, neceesary to out political security. She has taxed us for millions of dollars upon sugar, one of the necessary luxuries of our people. She is the instrument of an unwise European policy that seeks to establish a free African barbarism in central and insular America. With her preseat social organization she would briog perhaps two States into the Scuate. and fifteen or twenty Southern members into the House of Representa- tives. Mexico prevents, alo, increased incen tives to this movement. While the central power rapidly crumbling to pieces, the project of the Republic of the Sierra Madre, and the annexa- tion of a piece of Sonora to the Atizova purchase, are becoming more and more things that are to be; St. Domingo, Hayti, Central America and Jamaicaare all obeying the law of gravitation that brings emall masers to @ left open to the operations of our Southern po- | liticians nd our unemployed masecs every. where. While this is the condition of our own and tbo neighboring States, what is the position ocou- pied towards us by the governments that rato them? Spain bas continuously refuced, with the single exception of the Black Warrior affair, to entertain the just claims of our citizens agatust her. Shebas virtually insulted us by nsiog the moet sindied dikcourteay towards our Minister, lis representations have beon ignored: his ap- peals have not been listened to; demands have not been heeded; and our mistion at the Convt of Madsid bas been virtaally an oppro- brinta to the couotry, During all this time she has becu urging .the cabinets of Earope to join her in a crasade ogninat the United States, their institutions ard their inducoces, A meget of national ire againat ber ¢xiste in the hearts of our people, which needs but a spark to pro- duce an explosion that will deprive her ot -he last remmant of her American posecasions and drive her flag from every sea. With Mexico the eame or a woree state of things existe, Just causes of warcan be found at any moment, thet will readily influence the popular mind. Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Guatemala have long eince virtually dee ared indiscriminate war aguiast our citizens, and St. Domiago and Hayti are not far from occupying a similar po- sition. Such is the state of things amid which our government bas to steer its course; and it will be well for the cabinets of Europe to take compr: hensive view ot the position of this coun- try, and maturely weigh the porsible results. The elements of war are efervescing within and around us, Whatever may be the wishes of Mr. Bacbanan and his Cabinet—and there is no doubt of their desire to preserve peace,and their de- termination to prevent illegal expeditions from our shores—there is no telling how soon they may be carried irrcsistivly into a popular foreign war, and forced to give employment to the bun- dred thourand men that are at this moment ready to enibark in any filibuster expedition, aud thus imcet the exigency of southward expansion @nd an equilibrization of the Senate. We may ‘be at war with Spain or Mexico, or havo taken porsession ot Cuba, St. Domingo and Central America before another year has expized. THE LATEST NEWS. Iuteresting from Washington.
