THE DKPRICISTKD CTHSENCT. , The deprt-ciatiou of the currency is d'te to two causes first, an excefsive issue, and secondly, to the want of faith iu the Govern men t ; audthe extent of tho iufiu ence of (he first named cause cannot be ascertained until the second is removed substantially. Whenever nor credit shall be so much improved at home and abroad that holders of om bonds are disposed to retain them, even v. In u the public mind is excited upon financial subjects, we shall be able to judge more accurately the ex tent of the overissue of paper money. It is also true 1 lint tin: quantity of currency necessary for the transaction of the busi ness of the couutr ' cannot now be fixed accurately. Huce ill close of the war the wants of the Stales of the South have in- , creasei', .uid, consequently, alargi-umetfut j necessary ior the purposes of the South will steadily iucieuse fur tho next two I years.

These changes w II tnid to diminish tho difference between paper and coin. stkcie RKsrarrioN. The ability of the country t resume specie payments will not be due to any special legislation dpon that subject, but to the condition of its industries and to its fiuancial relations to other countries. These, of course, wilt he more or less de pendent upon the general policy of tin Government. The war exhausted the country ol its material weal'h, and the Slates of the Sou h were literally impov erished. A necessary condition for the resumption of specie payments was the development of the industry of he nation both South and Notth,aud tliecoiisequenl accumulation of the movable products of industry to such an extent that our ex ports of those pi o.i nets should be equal substantially to our imports. . So long as it is necessary to pay for merchandise im ported by the transfer of Government bonds or other evidences of indebtedness to other countries, so long it will be im practicable to resume and m i uuin JjptXfc payments. VV hen the products of industry exported shall he equal substantially to tire pro ducts of other eonntriea imported there will be no demand for specie for export, except what tray arise from the circum stance (hat our bonds held abroad arc sent home, sold in our markets, and tho- pro ceeds exported in coin. When ihe credit of the couutiy shall he fully established iu Europe and there shall be no doubt eith er of our ability or disposition to meet all our obligations, bonds heretofore, and now t r t I n rru or lout ti.,1.) ti tr 1 1 1 1 r .

It is probable that some decrease in the volume of paper will ultimately bo necessary, and 1 therefore respect fully suggest lb. a the Secretary ef the Treasury be clothed with sutlmiiiy to reduce the circulation of Uui tsd States notes in an amount not exceed ingt won millions of dollars in any one month. Thus will ihe country be brought, gradually it may le, and yet without di saster, into a condition when the resump tion of specie payment will be easy, if not avoidable. FUNDI Mr Tift FIVK-TWSNTIES.

It may ie wise to reauce tlie. proposed loan to 91,000,000.000, which would then ; leave for payment previous to 1881 thn mum of 070.000,000, or hardly more than 3G0.0OO.OO0 a year. Assuming that the proposed loan will be f.ir ai amount not exceeding 1.200, 000,000, I re omtnend tin I it be offered in three classes. of 400 000.000 each. The r'" ' " 0-100,000,000, lo be paid iu Unity yirars. The essential conditions of the new loan appear lo me to be those : 1. That the principal and interest shall be made payable in coin. 2. That the bonds known as the 5 20 bonds shall be receivud in exchauge for the new bonds. 3- That the principal be payable in (his country, and the interest payable either in the United States or in Kurope, as the subscribers to the loan may desire. 4. That the rate of interest shall not exceed 4 per cent, per annum. 5. That the subscribers in Europe shall receive their interest at Loudon, Paris, Berlin or Frankfort, as they may elect. 0. That the bonds, both principal anil interest, shall be free from all taxes, de ductions, or abatements of any sort, un less it shall be thonglit wise to subject cit isens of i he United States to such tax up on income fioui the bonds as ia ituosi'd by the laws of the United Stales upon income derived from other money invest- I incuts. ' There arc two reasons, and each seems to me to be n controlling reason, why the boiide of the United Stales, should be ex empt from Slate aud local taxes. If not so exempt, the amount of the taxes impos i ed by the local atilhoritie will be added to the interest the (nveriiinent will be re quired to 1 ay. and thus the National Gov eminent will he compelled to provide for taxes imposed by the local suthorities. Secondly, inasmuch as the ability lo borrow money may, under seme circum stances, be essential to the preservation of the Government, the power should not, even iu times of peaee and prosperity, be qualified by any concession tn the States of ihe l icjit to tax ihe means by which llit: Niitioiiui Government is maintained. The right to ue its lawful powers free of any condition, restriction, or claim of an other, is an essential condition of sover eignly, and the National Government is maintained. The right to use its law ful powers free of any condition, restric tion, or claim of another, ia an essential condition of sovereignty, and the Nation al (lover.. mem Should never surrenderor qualify its powers in this particular. -.. banking kvils. There are t wo evils in the present bank iug system which require remedy by prompt and efficient legislation. The first is ihe practice on the part of banks, of al- lowing interest upon deposits. The ef- feci of this practice is that moneys in tin hands nf individuals winch otherwise might be loaned for regular mercantile aud other business purposes arc diverted into 1 In- custody of banks upon he idea that if iin- security is not better, payment cau be obtained at a iiwrnbui's notice. Country banks and others remote from the large centres of trade, having receiv ed money 011 deposit for which they pay interest, are unuotts to tranfer such funds 1 to other banks, trout winch they will re ceive a 11 equal or larger interest in re turn. They are stimulated also by the desire to place their funds where they cati be at all limes commanded.

From iKt Nashville Banter. THE SOU l'H'8 POWEB. In tho course of a remarkable speech by Hon. Mark A Cooper, before an immense concourse of people in the amphitheatre of the Georgia ute Fair at Macon, on the 15th just., he stated that the cotton ererp of Georgia alone, to be 500 000 bales averaging 400 pounds each. The value of this, per hundred pounds, in paper car- rem v ol toe I nit til Mate.-, after paying freights and charges to Ltverpitol from N. York, il .-old iu Liverpool, ia $28, 4. For this the New York shipper pays iu New York $21i, thus leavin ? for iiiin a balance of -? 84 for his profits. A bale of 500 pounds, therefore, affords him a profit of 14 22: The crop from Georgia of 500,000 bales, when thus sold, will theretore afford to the New York ship per an aggregatt profit of 87,800,000. The cotton crop of the South is sup posed to be about 3,000,000 bales. Two million bales shipped as above and sold in Liverpool, afford to the New York ship per a benefit of $28,840,000. This is the result of one crop, it is wonderfnl, therefore, that with this to build on, New lorn .-iiouiii oe a great city, winch ecu tralized power to make aud coutrol the policy of a nation ? Again, cotton in the process of mann- facturinc loses 15 per cent., or 15 pounds in each IU0 - equal to 75 iiounds per bale . . This amounts to 7,500 bales in a crop of 500,000, or neatly one bale 111 six, winch, if v-iiTuci! at 20 cents a bale, is equal tu 3750,000 The planter looses this. He also loses the freight he pays on this waste. The freight fi om New l'ork to Liver pool alone is 25 eeuta per 100 lbs., which is equal perbale to $175. The freight from New York to Liverpool on 500,000 bales made iu Georgia, if shipped from New York to Liverpool, is $875,000. The raw cotton, when manufactured in to varus suited to the foreign markets, diminishes the bulk 15 per cent., and therefore saves about one-sixth of this freight, which-is equal to $135,833 saved in freight on waste from a crop of 500, 000 bales. The manufacturing of the raw mat. rial at home saves also the waste of 15 per cant, and turns it to domestic account, i Manufacturing at borne for the foreign markets adds two-thirds to the value of the bulk. Hence, one hale of cotton thus manufactured is worth three of tbe raw cotton, say equal to $300. The crop of 500,000 bales manufac tured in Georgia, less fifteen per cent, waste, is 525,000 bales manufactured pro ducts, eqttal to $300 per bale, which is equal 10 the aggregate sum of $137,500,- j 000, This, then, stand against the sum of $50,000,000, the value ! bales sold in the raw state. of 500,000 There is, therefore, a balance in favor ! of the country of $87,500,000, produced by converting the raw cotton into a rami- ufactiired article. Add to this tho sum of SI 15,000 paid 011 the waste when ship ped .mil saved by mautifacturing at home. Add also the value of the waste saved and used at home, by estimate 8100,000, and you have tho -11111 of 87,745,00 made and saved to the country by manufacturing the raw material. Hence it is perceived that you return to the producers the value of their raw material, as in case of sale auil Blitptnent and nearly double that sum to the iu and llieir country, in proceeds of sale of mimttfircrnrcd good. Tbt. omes fo them, or to the State, in imports or in specie, beirg that mncli over and above what is now received, aud that is an an nual resnlt. Great aud interesting as this'may seem to the planters, the results to the country financially, politically and socially, are grand beyond any ordinary conception.

BIO BOYM awd 111:.: FLACKS L'.VKa I.TU XO IX l l A II, Workmen are engaged in leveling a large mound on the block lying between North and South Temple streets, and Third and Fourth West streets, for the En i pose of preparing the ground for the full Central railroad, and in their labors they have exhumed many reliees which are interesting to archaeologist. Ofiicer H. Y. Hampton broagh a gnnnr-saek tulle of bones, fragment of pottery, flint arrow heads, pieces of sulphur, and a species of brick to our office this morning, which had just been dag up by tha men engaged iu levelling the ground. A long row of fireplaces were discovered yesterday; two or three more were found ta-day, aud the bones which he brought were those of a skeleton, which was found in a sitting posture, with its diiu resting on iu breast, near otio of the fire-places. The mound which was a very large one for ibis coun try, seem lo have been formed by the re mains of the dead ; scarcely a shovelful cati be moved without disturbing bones. How long a poriod has elapsed since they were buried i difficult to determine, but we should judge that many generations have passed away since the formation of the mound. All the small bones and sof ter portions of the large bones have disao- j peared, and no vestige of hair has been discovered thus far. Wo do not know whether the general average of the bones i"16 ,D ms!ts tbia skeleton shown us 1 1 ... f 1,1. 1 uy iiampiou ; out We liave beard ot several bone being found at previous times in the dtggg of soil from this mound, which bore every evidence dfbe longing to men of larger stature I ban the present Utah Indiatis. The skeleton wo saw was that of a large man. Officer Hamp'.on measures six feet two and a half inches, aud the thigh bone was lar ger than his. One of the arm bones and one of the leg bones bort marks of having been fractured. The skull was tolo ably large, resembling in shape the usual In dian type, and the teeth, were all sound, and were those of a young man. CURIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL CUS. TQM& "Vvnerr tmrnmnao Trrtnc hT am ,,, oi baptize an infant he utters the following be tutitnl .sentiment : Contrive so to live, that you may depart in smiles while all around you weep." The ancient Egyptians, at their general festivals and parties of pleasure, always had a coffin placed on the table, at meals, containing a mummy or a skeleton of painted wood, which Herodotus tells us was tireseuted to each of the guests with tins admonition ; "Look upon line, and enjoy yourself, for such will you become when divested of your mortal garb " This custom is frequently alluded to by Hor ace and C'uttullns, and Petrouious tells us that at the celebrated banquet of TrimaU cion a silver skeleton was placed on tho table to awaken iu the minds of the guests the remembrance of deaih aud of deceas- ' cd friends. In Carasou,.a province to tht northeast of Tarfary, the inhabitants have a custom, says Dr. I ley lei . when a stranger ot band some shape and fine features comes into their houses, of killing him iu tbe night not out of desire of spoil, or to eat hia body, but that the soul of such a satuoiy prison might remain among them- Among the superstitions of the Seneca Indians was one remarkable for iu singu lar beauty : When a maiden died, they ii;ipii.-oiic,i a. j,i in uii u 11 run n nrsi dw. gan to try its power of song, and then, loading it with messages and caresses, they loosed its bonds over her grave in 1 lie; In lief that it woold.;iiot fold its wing nor close its eyes until it had gone to tho spirit land delivered its precious burden to the hived and lost. x'lh re is a curious tradition both of St. Patrick in Ireland, and of St. Columbia in Iona, that when they attempted to found churches, they wen; impeded bv an evij spirit, who threw down the wall as fast as they were built, until a human victim was sacrificed and buiicd undttt the foun dation which being done, the; stood firm.' It is to be feared that there too much truth in this story. Not, of cunrse, that Druids, from who the Story was lathered wpVnt -tbe- brimr; 'fhtdt't' rnvn nf the twelve pillar of one of the Druidica! cir cular temples in Iona, a human body was found to have been buried.
