A citizen of the Northern Staies would doubles refer this sivgu- lar variation to the military snocesves of the past sum mer, and tothe ¢ nviction, shared by 60 many in the Nor’h, that tho “backbone” of the rebeilion may now fairly be considered us broken. Th t the Northern popu lation ace sincere in this conviction is, we suppose, proved by the wil! agness with waich they exchange specie for one-third more its representative value in paper. But that which stwkes the conildence of Europoans in the worth of federal paper isa circumstance of which the Americang appear to take no account, We are a taxpay- ing people in this cvautry, and are accustomed year after year to sce tho debis, ‘or the interests on the debts, Greate! in past times paid off by the revenues which are thus raised. We know from experience that there is but one way by which the finuneial credit of a State can be supported—nameiy, by providing with regolarity for tha payment of the government creditor. Now, the circum stance to which we have allgded, aud which amid the Diase of federal victories hus not attracted the attention of the American nation, 18 that during the (wo years and a ho'f which the war has lasied no: a single dollar hus been raised in the way of racation.

Add tu ths that, whilst ine-eaging iia liabiitios, the Secretary of the Treasury hos omitted in any mauner to provide for them, and oue nivy well express astonishment that io the third year of tbe American war the premium on gold should be less than half of what it w.s iu Ube secoud, The curre: cy which now constitutes almost the sole circulating med.um in the United States belongs to the class of what are termed on the Stock Exchange ‘‘specu- jative securities." fhe note with which @ citizen of Now York or Washington purchases what is necessary for his daily wants chunges materially 1 value from day to day, according as the fortuaes of armies Oghting in distant rogiong Vary, or as stock jobbera speculate for a ‘rise’ or ‘*fal!."’ Gold which te-day 1s quoted at thirty-five promiam may, from a variety of circumstances, be quoted at’ twenty-five or at forty-five a week sebsequently.

Sin; as this condition 14 it Catirely falls to rivet the notice of thore to whom seemingly the changes which have boen wrought abould be most apparent. The Americans uo doubt think it a nuigance that a difference should exist between the ap- parent and tue real value of a bank note: but they recon- che themselves to it as being one of the conditicns of war, ‘Their armies are now, as they ler, ou the high road te victory, and 8 each suceess wil! diminish the Premium on specio the paper currency will be at par simultancously with the extigction of the rebellion. It ia porely a matier of time, and to all appearance a very short time, when the Union, refreshed rather than ex- hausted by its recent struggles, will once more stand forty the envy and the admiration ef all other States. With such prospects who, then, ought to be sur- prised that the premium on gold Las falten instead of risen during the past year? Nay, rather, who should not express bis astonishaient that gapitalietz’ do not cagerly convert their gold and silvef on such profitable terms into the Treasury notes of the United States of America?
