No ' Virginian raa read the Message of
Gov. Vayca witlieut a sensation of sliaine. -The
late General Asmnbly of Virginia, after
many acts of bad faith and bad policy, crown
ed its infamy by a law discrediting the Con
federate currency.- The measure was adopt
ed, no doubt, ondrr strong influences from
the brokers and their ally in the base
ment story : and three-fourths of the mem
bers voted io ignjrance of what they were
doing,' and altogether unsuspicious of the
wWnwt- which -Uo-specuUiors,-ho con
trired their actios, were concocting. But
ignorance fur dishes no excuse for their pro
ceeding. They voted a law for the enrich-
. r , . - , , . .
h eipense of the people. They voted a U
to diic4edit the currency of the Government
which ps charged with tlie defense of the
public Iiocrtie. They enacted a meafire de
tUnr.g that the motiev Mbich paid tlie sol
dier, and which feeds the toldietr's wife and
children, unfit to pay tlie salaries of the au
ditors and Clerks.
" The action of, the Richmond banks wss ta
ken under tlie shelter of this law of the State.
Tlie speculator,! who perceived the order of
the tMUiks discreditiug Confederate money,
no doubt had had some age-icy in promoting
the action of the Legislature, which furnished
a color of excuse to the banks. The result
result of the icachinations of the Virginia
JLsfcUtare and th BichmtiwI banks, brokers
amLspecuuton, is gret shame to the Com
mon wealth, and irreparable -injury to the
Confederate currency. Anotlier deplorable
result is, that the city of Richmond, which
has periormed noble services tiaiiog .ibn war,
md Hi great body of wbee. pfwiieion de
serve the respect of the. country, is brouglit
to shame and disgrace, by the acta of her
banks, brokers and speculators. ' j
Ttiere is no act so intensely selu.h at tbe
present juncture as speculation in the curren
cy; there "is no crime so aUiorreut to the
mind as an effort to put down tlie money by
which our armies are maiouiped in the field,
our solJiers paid, and their families-subsisted.
Vet a band of evil spirits in Richmond are
engaged, in tlie systematic practice of these
nefarious cruses
There would be po speculation in the Con
federate currency, if those engaged in the
practice, were not assured of its iutrinric val-
ua.. They know it will be redeemed to the
last dollar. They know that the South would
be forever infamous among nations if it failed
to meet its obli Alions. T Lev know that the
property and resources of the South are Im-"
pie to eustain a much heavier Jbt than this
war can possibly entail They know that
direct trade with Europe will relieve us from
an annual trib'uto to the Korth, which in it
self w ill far more than tinpensate Jor any
possible tax -that maj-W'-necessary--fur-tlie
8iijt')rt of the Confederate debt They know
thai a good uame for honesty and fidelity to
obligations among nations will1 be Worth
more to us than any powible som which
might be gained by repudiation. They know
too, that the luitcF degrading measure would
bring tipon ns new -wars tar more burden
some than the debt incurred for the present
war.
It is their "plan, therefore, to mass large
amounts of Conlederate pa:&r, and they seek
