In the absence or abeyance c f other topics of interest the iiewrpaners throughout the c iuutry are discussing the qucs:ioa of the currency. All agree that the amauot of Coafsderat money in c;r cu-.aTioa 13 Jargaly in advance of tho requirements of the country, and that the immerise ri-e ia prices ii due to this fact. The qiestion then ie '! How, ia the first instance, shall we stOj ,the istue of Treasury notes ; and secondly, how thallweciil in a sufficient proportion of those already is- Eu?d to establish something of a balance between supply and do mind t No n,tre temporary measure will accomplish thes9 ob" jects. No neaure will give assured value to the currency that dtts rjot effectually provide against any new itflition. If by :uy voluntary fuiding the present surp us cculd be retired, and if by taxation the necessity for further issues could be obviated, the difficulties in the way would be mainly overcome. Bit so far a.i we have been able to judge, experience has shown that it will not do to rely upon voluntary fundiDg, and this for the reason that at aty given moment the largest operators in produce will naturally be opposed to any such movement, since any contraction of tho currency mist necessarily redaea the m r:ey value of thiir invest ments, aod jerpardize their speculations; acd the fjialler ones, and the people ia goceral, al though hand:inr apparently large turns, really have little or nothing to fund, as, udor existing prices, it requires immense nominal sums to answer eveu their mosteconomi cil requirements. It is evident then that any mode to be effectual must be compulsory, and mast be in tho nature of taxation or of a forced lo.n, or both; say, by levying a tax of so much up on all ascertainable values, to be paid in Confsderate cur rency; ar d by making a further assessment of so much up oa all such values, to be paid in the eama manner, for which stock maybe issued, bearing such rate of interest as may be fixed. Thus the tax might prevent the further ispue of notes, while the forced loan would have the effect of retir ing a suficient portion of our outstanding currency to brirg our circulation within due and reasonable bounds. The tax ought to be a permanent measure the forced loan would in vs n.vnre be a temporary measure. We think we hava sketched nearly all the valuable fea tures cf th? measles that we have ieen prcpos?d. The practical diiliculty, ii appears to us, would arise out of the phrase " ascertainable values." How acd how soon could such values be ascertained ? Cy what scale;should they be miasured '! How should or could fraud and evasion be de tested and prevented ? Thesa are matters cf detail, for Legislative considera tion. What strikes cs as certain in principle, however, is that eo measure can eSact any good that does not estab lish a balacco between the volume of the currency and the wholesome requirements cf the country ; and that even this will have no real or permanent value unless provision h made to keep that balance established by dispensing with or rendering unnecessary any further issue of treasury notes. We also afssma that no measure can accomplish these results that is not compulsory in its character, ia the shape cf a tax, a forced loan, or both ; and that any tax should be calculated to continue as long as the necesaitv tor it cceUducs, atd that, fchould it not ba deemed expedient cr possible to levy frcm year to year, should the war con tinue for years, a tax sufficient to ni2et all its requirements, then that any deficit should be made up by loans or other- uie not requiting nor permitticg an additional issue of currency. No doubt the Eaukers' Convention soon tomeei at Bav aunan, vn; give ino country the advantage cf their experi ence and financial knowledge. One thing is certain. No mere palliatives will do cothirg that does not actually re- tiro the notes and guard against their re-issue. love 01 tne army which he commands. That may be their fault we fuppote, but h is his misfortune atd the misfo lane of tee fcervce, sa long as he remains in command of the now most important army of the Confederacy. Thiii one great element of success Gee. Lkag3 Jacks the con'i- dence ard love tf his men ; and without that neither Julius Caesar, IIaknibal, nor NAPOLEOir oArAKTE could com mand the amount of success which might otherwise be achieved. But the fact is that aa important part of tie greatness of these great men was, that they always did command the confidence and win the love of all suboidi- nated to or connected with them in anyway.

Well, the President went out. He -saw and conversed with people, but he left tbiaca cut at Chiekamauera essentially as he found theit; aud the same elements cf din- cord and weakness ttil! exist there that existed before he went out. Polk takes Habdhk's plice, and Eaedse takes Polk's, and Fokrest goes away down somewhere among th6 swamps of Misfi3sippi, where he will not soon be heard of, or at least where he car. but remotely affect the main iBsue cn trial. We fear that the difficulty with the Armv of the West it not removed and hardly palliated, ard will cot be until either something is done not to restore the entente cordiale between Gen. Bkago and his army, for tbat never existed, but to create such cordial understanding, or fai:irg in that, to transfer Gen. Bragc; to seme other field of labor. General Bkago is a gallant veteran. It is n.t for us to caet imputations upon his conduct cr criticise his gecerakhip, but then it ought to be evident to hi3 best friends, yea to General Bkago himself, that his relations with all his officers is each as neceesari'y to impair the use fulness of any man. What infirmities of temper, or what deficiencies of manner the General may ubfcrtunately possess we know not, but some thfie musl bo, else why this Btate of things from first to last ? We hear of no such thing with General Lek, nor in deed with any other General commanding any of our i xpoi t ant arms. However, we must await the cour e of events, although we say carididly that we much fear things are not working Hght with the army of Tennessee, and that we more than fear that a short t'rae will show it.

At day Break, yesterday morning, the Morris Island bat teries reopened fire, which, conjointly with three of the monitora, they maintained until sigatfall. Fort Sumter, as usual, was the chief target of Gilimore's gunners. The number of phots thrown at that post was 679, of which. S3 amsed. The fort made no reply to this tevere cannonade. The enemy's aim was almost entirely against the sea face. The enemy also kept up a brisk fire against Fort Johnson and. Battery Simkins, Tchich replied with precision of aim that evidently caused co inconsiderable annoyance to the x annees. A few of the shots from Battery Gregg, which were di rected at Bullivan'g Island, were appropriately acknowl edged by the guna of Fort Moultrie. We have the gratification to report that the dav'a firinz passed off without a casualty, sr far as we could learn, at any of cur batteries. Our works received no material dam age. WHAT THE NOKTHKBN PArSRS SAT. The Northern papers contain some interesting accounts from Morrii Island. The Philadelphia Inquirer of the 23d refers to important diipatcb.es received from Washington ihe day previous, gathered from official sources, in refer erco to the present Charleston expedition. By it, says the Inquirer, two very material points are established, name ly : the different duties which were assigned ta tbi army and navy when tho expedition was p'nnnd in Washington. Gilimore's operations were to embrace the occupation of the southern portion of Morris Island, the capture of Wag ner uq uregg, ana tna reduction of Sumter. Upon the reduction of bumter, which was ccnsideiod the chief ob stacle in the Yankee's way of reaching Charleston, Dahl gren was to advance with the fleet, and complete the re maining object of the expedition. Gillmore, it is alleged, has long ago accomplished his part of the business, and it ia even officially asserted that he recently offered to clear away for Dahlgren the rebel obstructions in the outar harbor. The Inquirer contends that not only haB Dahlgren, by hia apathy, disappointed the entire Yankee nation, but ha has very seriously delayed the capture of Charleston, au3 it ii believed that, it be had attempted the entrance ot Charles ton harbor immediately after the reduct on of Humter, the city would now be Lincoln's Such an event woald not only have been a brilliant conclusion cf the expedition, hnt t. e jOth of the t'olluw va month.

Lee, arrived in this port early last week, after sncce?sfu!lv running the blockade of Wilmington. The G'raile is a long, low side-wheel steamer of great power, and made the passage from Wilmington to this port in five days and twenty hours. The Giraffe suffered sonsidc-rable damage coming out of Wilmington. One shot tore cil a large portion of her bulwarks, broke the patent win lass, and kn ocked down three men. Another shot went right through her cabin, two feet above water mark. Several shots went whizing over and between her masls,' and nothing earthly saved her from destruction but her great Bpeed.

It has been shown by experience that no sudden changes can be effected without cuisicg Ecrious inconvenience0, perhaps loes, perhaps injustice, and it i.3 a wise prevision that as a general thing no reformation, no matter how de sirable In itself, can bs suddenly carried out. So it u in res-.rd to the Confederate currency. If the vorame of that currtficy could be suddenly reduced to the desired IimJti say one hundred and fifty million dollars, the effect of Buch a sudden contraction would be ruinous to almost every in terest ia the country. In ordinary times a bank contraction to the aruouiit of twenty-five per cent, yea, of ten per cent, causes a pressure of a very intense character. This being the case, we can readily understand the effect which would be produced by a sudden reduction of three hundred per eent in tho whole volume of cur present cbculating rcf dium. We krow that the expiesfrion three hundred per ct. is not strictly proper when gpeakii g of a reduction, but it will be batter understood p-irhnps than &uj more rigidly accurate cspressioa. What we mean I that if the circu lation is reduced from six hundred millions to one hundred and fifty millions, great charges of money value9 must tc cur, and if this be dene suddenly theEe changes will amount to rrinous derangements. Therefore it is that we say that it is a fortunate circumstance that no such sudden reduc tion can be brought about either by voluntary action or by legislative compulsion. Of course a little rtilection will be scfEcient to establish i tns i3i mat wnai is cauea tne appreciation of the Gov ernment currency does not necessarily imply the failure of the Gcvernneat credit, since credit and currency may pes sibly be ecp-rated. Currency is cheap because it is redandaiit, and because it has na cutlet. It must tied use and occupation within the limits of the Confederacy, or not at all. Suppose that instead of a cir culation cf six hundred millions of Confederate currency W5 had a circulation of six hundied millions of specie, and that for this specie ttere was no outlet nor moans of em ployment bejcDd the limits of the Confederate Ktates, the redundancy would be the same, and the iiflation of prices about the same. It is true that in the case of gold hoard ing might tuko place, which would in seme measure answer the purpose cf funding, though without interest. Of course we are pupposing a case simply lor illuatra'ion. In regard to the expression "forced loan" which we, In ccmmTD with others, hava used, it amounts simply to ct mpulsory fuLding, or rather to having a portion of the taxes assf ssed aid paid in returned to the payers in the form of bonds. This question cf currency, is on that has exercised the irgenuity cf men in all times, and still continues to do so; bat for all that there are Bome common tense considera tions connected with our present difficulties which are bo plain of comprehension that he who inns may read, and to those only have we attempted to call attention, leaving the niceties for those who understand them.

Death of .Aechbishop Whaiely The Archbishop of Dublin, Richard Whately, died cn Ozt. 8th. He born in CavendiHh Square, London, in 1787, the fourth son of Rev. Dr. Whately, of Nonsuch Park, Surrey. He was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, where he graduated in 180S. At Oriel College, Whately diatiuguiehed himself by his theolo gical bent, attaching himself to the Liberal oi Low Chu; ch, as distino. from the High Church party. In 1822 he held the Hampton Lectureship at Oxford, and in tho same year he was appointed to the iiectcry of Hal swerth, in t-uSolk a living of 450 a year. In ttie preceding year he hau married the daughter of tfilliam Pope, Esq , of Hiliicgdon, Middlesex. It was while he was rector of tialesworta that hs became feuown by his theological and theclo?ico-p oliti co writin: Baa one of the rising intel ects in tha Ecglish Church. In 1831, the Wnigs bei.eg then in office, he was consecrated Archbishop of Dublin, and Bishop of Gienda laug&; and since 1S43 he h?d he had also been Bishop of Kudare. as Primate of Ireland, Dr. Whately has led a most act.ve and h-fljential life, taking interest as a liberal Chuitn man :n all questions of social and ecclesiastical im portacce, and more especially in Iri3h educatin. His public dutitB as Archbishop, however, have not interfer red with his continued activity as a theological writer, for until within a few montha of his oeath, his pen was con stantly busy. We find the above goirjg the rounds. It is incorrect in taring that Archbishop Whately was Primate of Ireland. The Primacy attaches to the Bee of Armagh not that of Dublin. - Artemas Ward says : "I have already given two cousins to the war, aud stand rtaddy to sacrifice my wife's brother rathur'a not see the rebelyin krusht.

Bat, he said, they had given still higher eviaence or courags, patriotism, and resolute determina tion to live freemen, or die freemen, by their patient en durance and buoyant, cheerful spirits, amid privations and suffering from half rations, tbij. blankets, ragged clothes, and shoeless feot, than given by baring their breasts to the enemy. He reminded them that obedience was the first du'y of a soldier, remarku-g that when he was a youth a veteran of ficer said to him ; " My son, reasember that obedience is the soldier's first duty. If your commanding officer orders you to burn your neighbor's house down, aud to sit on the ridge-pole till it fall in, do it." The President said, this is an exaggerated statement cf the duty, but prompt, unques tioning oDedience of subordinates to their superiors could not bo too highly commended. It the subordinato stops to consider the propriety of an order, the delay may derange the superior's whole plan, and the opportune moment for achieving a success or averting a defeat may be irretrieva bly lost. He alluded to the boast of onr enemy that, cn tle occu pation f East Tennessee, tby would heavily recruit their army, and suDjugate ns witn tne aid of onr own people ; but the boast had Eot been fulfilled. He said tie proper course to pursue towards tho misguided people o' b'at Ten nessee was, not t' "eride and abuse them, but to employ reason and concii.ation to disabuse them of their error ; that all of us had once loved and revered the old flig of the Union ; that he had fought under its folds, and for fifteen years had striven to maintain the Consti ution of our fath ers in its purity. Dut ia vain. It could not be saved from the grasping ambition for power and greed of gain of the Yankees, and he had to relinquish it.
