Prohibition, it is not by any means because it is practically an open is sue in this State. The people of Vermont, as a liody, bare no thought of changing es sentially oar present prohibitory law. Bat their confidence in it, as compared with oth cr system may be omfirmed and made more intelligent, and with such increased couS denee inav came inure faithful oleervanee and eiecutiun which a-e most deeirable objects. Vc are told that a License System will put money into trie state Treasury true ; but it doe nut lollow that it will be a pay. ojeration, as a mere matter of dollar and cents. On the other hand there is every reason to believe that the increase of crime and pauperism which inevitably fol lows the increased sale of liquor, will add more t the eijienses of criminal prosecu tions than the revenue derived from licenses. This is not mere conjecture. Look at lthode Island. The Committeo of the Legislature of Rhode Island to whom ws referred the question of the repeal of the Lieeme Law of that State, eay in a recent retort, that "6,000 a year are paid into thetrcasury fur licences. They alo say : When the fact is considered that of this sum. a considerable amount comes ultimately from the scanty mcins of poor persons who buy the liquor, and who are reduced to bf-rg-try and crime m couseqwnce, aii there lure, cither as paupers or criminals are throwu upon the com munity for EJpport, or restraint and punish- ueui, ii is eviueni luai mere is uo econcmy. To fill up our almshouses and prisons with a class whuse money has been wastcJ by a practice sustained by law, cannot be economical, though some of the money may hate gone tu the public treasury. The expense of police, criminal pro- cveumgs, me maiiainancc 01 an iae micninery for the detection nud punishment of vice and crime, ad led to the vast sums appropriated to public and private charities, swallovr un this cum, and stdl rcna-ns like the lean kine of Egypt, gaunt as before. This sum becomes ut terly lost in a yawning chasm. Bat trial sum of money can pay for the suf fering and sorrow, the m:s:ry and wretchedness, which rum selling brings upon its deluded vic tims ! and the pie that intoueating drinks will be sold without the sanction of law, forms no justification fur sanctioning it. IVhcre is the Tault 1 Adj't General Washburn, writes-the TimeJ a letter of which the foibwins is the main portion : Every sol licr muttered into the service of the Unitel States. i piid Ins State py from dite of enl.stment toilite f muster, thrcuIi th:s ola?e. If a recruit f. r U 1 regiments, it is paid before he leaves the Stite. After muster the collier is not entitled to driw piy from the Treasurer un til the expiration of one nonth. The fiur com panies of the 17th regiment were mustered JIarch 1st, 3d and 4th. Copies ot the muiter-in-rul!s of Cumpinies A, B and C were sent to the Treasurer. Mirch 1st, and a copy of the niuster-in-roll of Co. D wis sent to him March 28, all in sets fr the first payment which became due to ech. It was announced in the circular of January 8, 1651. from th)s office, that credits would be given when tbe muster-in-rolls of sush re-eniiat-xnenu are revived at th:s orSse, and could not be given until then, and that no other evidence( would supply the pi ice of sueh rolls. It not' nufrequently has happened tbtt the muster-in-roll, hen received, has shown that men were re-enlisted and mustered in to the credit of a different town from that to which ther have given their notice of re-enlistment In all cases, as soon ts muster-n-n lis of re-enlistcd men are received, notice is sent by mail to the selectmen of every town shown by such rolls to be entitled to a credit There is never any greater delay than is absolutely necessary for writing the no tices. There have been received at this office since the first of November, 1663, two hundred and thirty-six muster-in-reus of recruits, mostly' for eld regiments. Copies of all these rolls have been seasonably prepared as rapidly as it could be done, and forwarded to the Treasurer. In but very few cases, and These unavoidable, has the copy been furnished so late as one month af ter the date of the roll. In ordinary times, the copies are furnished within a very few days af ter the receipt of the rolls. Even in the hurry ing times of last winter, they have usually been furnished within twenty days after muster. The difficulty in obtaining the pay from the Treasurer does not arise from the fact, that the muster-in-rolls have not been reported to.him, but from the fact that recruits are very frequent ly assigned to- a different a-tgimcnt from that shown by their muster-in-roll, and their regi ment and the company to which they are as signed, and whether they are actually in the service, or nave ucscneu u iuc ij,iwunj do. cannot be known until tbe regimental re- i turns are received, which are made to this of fice each two months. Hence the Treasurer de- , dines to pay until tbe returns are received. The returns due Feb. 20tb, have not yet all I been received at this office. All are reported to : the Treasurer as soon as it is possible to prepare J them, after they are received. , Yours very respectfully, . . PETER T. WASIIBURX, , Adj. and Insp. Gen'L , The. Times appends the following com- j menta to the letter : The Adjutant General, in eiculpating himself, has only shifted the sin to the shouldiers of ths i State Treasurer. Gen. Washburn says in bis ( letter that tbe rolls of Co. A, B and C of the 17th regiment were sent to the State Treasurer JIarch 19th but, in a letter from the Treasurer to our Selectmen, dated March 29th, andmailed April fid, cf ten men from Burlington in com- ' paniea A and B, five of them are marked "not I reported," and five "not on the rolls." Tbe rolls of these companies sent March 10th must have surely reached their destination by March i 29th, and is certainly very singnlar that with ' these rcits prooaoiy in nis nanus, uic oiiiu :hc State urn Bur-1 B. were I lis." Iu Treasurer should find that ten men irom lincton mustered into companies A and either not renorted" or "not on the roll the same letter a considerable number of men who enlisted in the old regiments last December and January are also marked "not reported" or "not on the rolls." althouzh some of these very men have already been nearer Richmond than ' Oen. .MeUellan. Another vexuic; circumstance is tbe fact that often of two men enlisted about the Earae time, and now tervinr in Virginia in the same company, one is reported by the Treas- i urer to be all right and Ai wife receives his j State pay without any unreasonable delay, while the other is marked "not reported" or "not in ! the rolls," and his unfortunate wife, getting no j Sute pay, naturally asks, wondenngly, tjr an , explanation, and none can be given, so she at , oace in her distress ignorsntly suspects tbe Se- , lectmen of favoritism or some other absurd 1 thing. The names, after a tedious correspnndei.ee with the State officials come dribbling in, iu ne sort of order, at long intervals between the re ceipt of names that ought to come together. It is doubtless the case that in so extensive and complicated a business as that of en listing and re-enlisting has Uen of late, de lays of the kind described, are to some extent unavoidable. What the recruits and the State have a tight to demand of the officials is the exercise of due diligence and care. 1 1 any come short of that, it is right to hold them to a rigid account. The Senlmct says : Our own currency has fallen to fifty cents cents on tbedtHar." This jnay be wilful exaggeration on tho StntineTs part, or ignorance of the simple rule by which the comparative value of pa per and trold is comtaited. That rule is to make 100 the numerator and tbe selling price of gold the denominator, of the frac tion wMcuiudica tw tho proportion which paper hldc to gold as the unit. When gold goes to 200as it necr has, and we trust ncter will then, and not till then, will tbe correney havo ftllen to fifty cents on the dollar. The &nfierj inference that, with butter at 40 cent, the farmer is in fact " only re ceiving 20 cents the same as lie got dr it three yea's ago" is, of course, equally eiro neous. If tbe price of gold is taken tu indi cate tbe actual depreciation of the correney, then butter would be as high at 32 cents and a fraction to-day as it was at 20 cents three years ago. But tho truth is that gold is run up and down by speculators, juit as butter 19. and its price is by no means tbe mark of tbe actual depreciation of the currency. It is absurd to suppose that the real value of tho currency varies 8 or 10 per cent, m a week now up and now down as gold does. The truth is, the farmer's pound o' butter at 40 cents, will buy him about fwice as much real estate, flour, pork, newspaper, and many other things, as a pound would three yean ago, while tho cost ot production has proba bly not increased over a cent a pound. A fair allowance for depreciation of currency and increased cost of production might bring butter up to 27 or 28 cents. All above that is speculative extortion. NoainEHX Tkaitobs. The Brooklyn Union lias liecn publishing some secesh letters writ ten lately by female rebels in that city to friendiat Natchez, ,3Iiss , which were. re turned by tbo Postmaster at Natchez, as too treasonable to be allowed to pass through tbo U. S. mails, nnd deserving (lie attention of tbo Provost Marshal of Brooklyn. One of them contained tho following passage : I have the photograph cf a gentleman, a friend of Pa's, who sent me his picture last summer, when the war first broke out. He and bis brother were put in Fort Lafayette for enttr taining strong southern news, and kept there three months, and then released with out a charge being brought against them. They arc still as strong for the South as ever; and when Judge Flanders sent me bis photo graph, he sent me word that the greatest fivor be woukl ask of me was to place him in ray book with roy southern friends. He was an old friend ef Gen. Albert S Johnston, and corresponded with him until after tbe war broko out. Of course, I prize his picture very much. This must bo Judgo Flanders, of Jlalone, N. V. The writer probably knew what sbe was saying when she pronounced him and his brother "as strong for the South as ever." JIilitart Pr-tODtt-is. The Aksit axd Natv Journal It las taken us sotao time, since War became the business of tho nation, to secure a really first class military journal. Several cheap affairs of the sort wcro early started. A blood nnd thunder war story " to be continued," and a list ol promotions gathered second-hand from the daily papers, constituted their main military features, and it is of no consequence whether they have lived or died. Tho .droit and Xaty Official Gazette, published at Washington, followed in due time. It is a valuable collection of military and naval orders; but confines itself to such official information, and as it does not pretend to go into any discussion of mil itary events and topics, lacks important ele ments of interest for general readers. About six months since tho Ct S. Army and l'avy Journal started in New York, and is now an established success. It has already, we are told, a circulation not excelled by any paper of its class in the world, and is sustained in all its lcatuies with an ability, spirit and goodjudgmsnt, which u continue to add to Us influence and' popularity! A glance at the list-of contents in any number will indi cate the character of tho paper. In the last number for instance, we have a careful and intelligible digest of The Military Situation ; Editorials on " The War Operations ot tbe Year," Gen. Grant and Gen. Meade, The Re-organization of the Army of tbe Potomac, and other subjects ; and original contribu tions, by competent military and naval wri ters, on The Staff, Rifled Ordnance, The In valid Corps, Our System of Recruiting, Navy Yards, and divers other topics. When we add to this a carefully prepared miscellany of Foreign Military and Naval - Affairs, the Army and Navy "Gazette of Promotions and Changes, Ilyrograpbic Noticesy&c, we think all will own that the purchaser richly secures his ten cents worth. The Army and Katy Journal is pub lished at 192.Broadwy, S. Y.'.-by Capt. W. C. Church, a gentleman who has Been service pretty thoroughly on Gen.
