THE DAILY PRESS*
• PORTLAND, MAINE.
Tuesday Morning, Nov. 11, 1862.
---- ■ ■ " • —
The Portland Daily Press has the largest
regular circulation of any daily paper in
the oity.
British Blander* in American Finances.
Readers of the British newspapers know,
that almost every assertion and prediction
which those papers have made respecting the
American rebellion, with one or two honorable
exceptions, have proved false; and yet the
Portland Advertiser, professing to be friendly
to rite present administration, on the 5th inst.
copies a half column of British abuse from the
Loudon Economist, upon what that paper
terms the “Mismanagement of the American
Finances.”'
The most casual reading of that article
shows, that the mismanagement arises, in the
opinion of this British writer, from the fact
that Secretary Chase did not procure his mon
ey in Europe; but took such measures as would
place the American loan in the hands of Amer
ican capitalists. In iiis opening paragraph,
the writer says :
“If a heavy income tax had been imposed
at the outset of the war, the federal govern
ment would probably hate been able to bor
row largely in Europe."
Now it is well known that at an early day
Congre-9 did pass a joint resolution, with great
unanimity, showing that they iutended as
soon as their Committees could frame such a
complicated bill as an internal tax act. to en
act the same into a law. Congress gave the
Secretary or the Treasury authority to pro
cure his money in Europe if uecessaty.but our
Bankers and citizens were ready to furnish it
Kn»».,i* forma than t fin Tfritich nr Dtlmp T' 11
ropean bankers, who have now learned that
there are both men and money in the United
States.
This writer in the Economist, before he cen
sures the United States for issuing a paper
currency, should rememlier, that British wri
ters on finance admit, that it was the paper
currency of the Bank of England, that enabled
her to carry on her costly wars against Napo
leon the 1st; and assuredly the promises of a
government are better than those of a private
corporation chartered by that government.
Congress wisely gave the Secretary of ttie
Treasury the choice of several methods of
procuring money; there were certain Shyloeks
here at home, who, like the British Bankers,
wanted to get our narional bonds at fifty to
seventy cents on the dollar, well knowing that
the recuperative energies and growing wealth
of our nation, would ere long, pay both inter
est and principal upon them, as it always lias
done. But Secretary Chase wisely concluded
as the result shows, that however distrustful
lone native and ail foreign bankers were,
there was wealth and capital and patriotism
enough in the north to loan the government
all it wanted for an energetic prosecution of
the war, and at reasonable rares.
It was at once seen that the vast war ex
penditures necessary to subdue six millions of
rebels could not be conveniently carried on
In gold and silver; and however well the sub
treasury might answer when our ex;>enditures
were two hundred miiiious annually, it would
not be practicable when they were half this
•urn daily, hence H was at once seen that the
government, to pay its troops, purchase muni
tions of war and food promptly, must either
have recourse to bank bills issued by corpora
tions unknown and irresponsible to the Feder
al government, or issue its own promises which
would circulate iu all the States, and give tile
soldier in the field a note that should be cur
rent also at borne.
In doing this, it was foreseen that the na
tional paper currency would come in conflict
with that issued by the Slate Banks, but the
necessities of war, the principle of the old Ro
man law, “talus populi suprema lex,’’ ‘'Tile
good of the people is the supreme law,” justi
fied the act. There can be no question but
that our State bank currency is a financial ex
crescence, that has grown up under our Fed
eral constitution, and in opposition to the clear
Intents of its framers; when, therefore, nation
al exigencies require that the Federal govern
ment should avail itself of one of the highest
attributes of sovereignty, to wit: the making
and uttering of money, no loyal man will hesi
tate to say, that the national must have the
preference over any issues of private corpora
tions, even when legalized by state authority.
The circulation ol the Banks in the loyal
State*is at ibis time, no doubt, over one hun
dred and seventy-live millions of dollars, and
the national government also has probably
one hundred millions more. Thus it will be
seen that our currency is inflated nearly one
third of its usual volume. If tile rebellion
continues through next summer, either the
state lianas must curtail Uleir Issues, or the
Federal government its legal tender notes. Il'
military necessity requires that the latter
must he issued, then the State Issues must be
withdrawn, either by a general return to spe- |
cie payment by joiut action of the various
State Legislatures, or Congress must put such
• tax on the issuing of bauk bills us will corn
pel the Banks to withdraw their bills, aud
check the inflated state of our currency.
Tue best evidence that Secretary Chase’s se
lection of the various plaus for raising money
to carry on this war was that best adapted to
the business habits of our people, is shown in
the fact that the large sums of money required
by the Government have been raised without
serious derangement to the vast business in
terest of the country, aud that at this mo
ment the Government has more money ten- !
dered to it than il requires.
The Removal of Gen. McClellan.
The announcement by telegraph yesterday,
that Gen. McClellan had been removed from
the command of the army of the Potomac,
and that Geo. Burnside W'us appointed as liis
successor, caused considerable excitement in
this city, aud is the universal theme ol con
versation. As is usual, people take different
views of the matter, but we think all loyal
men will heartily endorse and sanction this
action of the government. It is one of the
most important measures yet adopted, and we
hope will be followed by an energetic, vigorous
prosecution of the war. We hope that the
Union forces under Burnside will move, and
that hereafter no one will have just cause to
complain of the "inactivity of the army.”
We do not think he has been suspended one
hour too soon. The significant tact stated by
Geu. iiaileck, that he lias neglected for
three weeke to obey the peremptory orders of
the War Department to cross the river at \
once, and give battle to the enemy, is of i^mlf j
sufficient reason for his prompt removal, and
the wonder is that so long a delay was permit
ted.
The official report of Gen. Iiaileck. which j
may be found in another column, is clear and
explicit, and, after reading it, we feel sure no
loyal man, ,*vho sincerely desires to se.e tile
majesty op the Constitution vindicated, will
hesitate fora moment lo sustain tli ■ President
in placing the army of the Union under more
energetic aud determined leadership.
A Magazine of Projectiles Exploded.
The Ballast Journal, published and edited
by an old whig, who himself opposed the Mex
ican war, and who at that time stood political
ly with our present Chief Magistrate—Abra
ham Lincoln—has an article with the follow
ing threatening caption: “ Xfotc Lincoln sup
ported a President in time of tear.” In the
article following such a significant and fearful
heading, we find a whole magazine—a regular
“infernal machine”—let loose upon President
Lincoln, and intended, probably, to explode
him into the smallest possible fragments. The
Journal opens thus:
It is a favorite theme upon which abolition
ists love to expatiate, that the country is en
gaged in war, and that the fact makes it the
duty of every citizen cordially to support the
President in whatever he may think necessary
to its conduct, that we must all commit our
selves to his guidance and go it blind in which
ever direction be may point. Let vs see how
Mr. Lincoln himself will stand this test.
Before going further we would simply ask
the editor of the Journal, whatever Mr. Lin
coln's course might have been at the time, and
whatever he may have said to oppose the then
President, and to discourage him in his arduous
efforts to carry on a foreign war, if he them
at that time, either rebuked the tall Ulinois
ian, or said one word to sfengthen and en
courage the heart of President Polk? We
hope lie will answer like a man; for if he, him
self, was politically allied to Mr. Lincoln nt
that time, and sustained the party in whose
behalf Mr. Lincoln spake, and whose voice he
uttered, then, as a modest man, lm should hold
his peace now; because, if for no other reason,
Mr. Lincoln lias had the same “space for re
pentance”—if he was in the wrong—that ids
then supporter, who is now of the Belfast
Journal, lias had. But we pass along to see
President Lincoln brought up liefore the test
or judgment seat that lie himself set up as a
Representative from the State of Illinois.
Says the Journal:
In 1S4S, the country was engaged in carry
ing oil tlie war with Mexico, a war demanded
by our honor and safety, waged against a for
eign nation by a Democratic Administration.
There were dark days in that war as in this.
Reverses came, like tlie surrender of Cassius
M. Clay witli Ills forces. Terrible disasters
threatened, as at Buena Vista, when the re
splendent genius of Taylor saved the army—
Taylor, whose plantation was sacked by Fed
eral soldiers the other day.
We «top here to notice the patriotic fling at
the “Federal soldiers,” contained in the last
two lines. Why, like a honest man, disposed
j to be just as well as iruinjat, uoes tile liel
; last man m ike this fling to disparage a repub
; liean President and a republican administra
tion which is upholding the present war, and
keep out ot' sight the fact that the vandalism
committed at Baton Rouge, if vandalism there
was, was committed by the soldiers of a de
partment under a Democratic Commander—
Maj. Gen. B. F. Butler—and that one of the
regiments most actively engaged, was com
manded by a leading Democrat of the County
of Waldo, a neighbor of the Journal, Col
Frank S. Nickerson,—as true a soldier, as gal
lant a gentleman, and as loyal a Democrat, as
ever raised his voice or unsheathed his sword
in his country’s defence! Why dont he tell
the whole story, and not by innuendo attempt
to make President Lincoln suffer in reputation
for the excesses of soldiers entrusted by him
to Democratic officers! But read again from
the Journal :
During the darkest days of that tear, Abra
ham Lincoln was a member of Congress from
Illinois, and when the President's message
was under consideration in the House, Jan. 12
1848, he made a speech bitterly attacking
President Polk and his war policy.
Dates are important, and we a>k the reader
carefully to note the foregoing. Mr. Lincoln
was a member of Congress “during the dark
est days,” of that war, when “ terrible disast
ers threatened us, as at Buena Vista,” Ac.
This is singled out as the. dark spot in the
“darkest days of the war.” Now it happeus
that Abraham Lincoln took his seat as a Rep
resentative from Illinois, on the first Monday
in December, 1847. The battle of Buena Vis
ta was fought on the 22d of the preceding
February—the anniversary of Washington’s
birth day !
This is not all: Mr. Lincoln is accused of
making a speech on the 12th of Jan. 1843, op
posing the war, and refusing to support the
President in carrying it on. Now the last
battle of that war was at the capture of the
City of Mexico, and Gen. Scott’s official re
port of that capture is dated Sept. 16. 1847,
nearly three months prior to the meeting of
the Congress of which Mr. Lincolu was first a
member!
Col. Benton tells us that Mr. Trist signed
the Treaty of Peace concluded by him “in the j
beginning of Feb., 1848. The same authority |
also tells us that negotiations were pending
three months prior to the signing of the treaty l
and that, during these three mouths there was
no “operations of arms.” Surely then, if the !
fighting had ceased, if negotiations for peace J
were pending long before Mr. Lincoln entered i
Congress, it was not a very “dark day” when
he made the speech referred to. So much for
the Journal’s attempt to condemn Mr. Lin
coln by a test of its own creation.
Itlt UUUI IIBI UIICI V VSVUlc UIC VUJCVl Ul
the speech referred to, as much as it confuses
dates. That speech was not in opposition to !
the war—which existed simply in that the !
armies were not withdrawn from Mexico— |
but it was in opposition to some of the pro
posed conditions of settlement—some of the
exactions to be made upon the enemy. And
we will only add, without going further into
details, or swelling this article, already too
long, that the extract from Mr. Lincoln’s j
speech which the Journal copies, is precisely
the same in spirit, and similar in language, as
the remaiks of Col. Ben'on—a leadiug Demo
crat at the time—upon the same subject. ]

Gen. Butler's Colored Reoiments.—
Rev. J. Colby, Chaplain of the 12th Maine

Wesleyan Journal from New Orleans, under j
date of Oct. 1st, from which wc take the fol- j
lowing extract:
“Today the first organized and equipped
regiment of blacks, inarched past our headquar
ters in 11 ne style, to the old native air of Yankee
Doodle. They are a stalwart and hardy look
ing set of men. Well proportioned, neatly uni
formed and exhibiting great powers of endu- ,

frequently asked, and it is a question in the j
minds of many of our best military men. For
myself, I believe that they will light with a
suitable motive before them to induce them to j
action, and inspire them with courage; at all i
events, it is a tiling which 1 loug to see tried, I
and I shall he greatly disappointed if this ]
regiment, in their first engagement does not j
stand lire, and return it with interest added to J
principal. Tha regiment bears the name of
Native Guards, and is commanded by a white
officer, Col. J. S. Stafford.
About 2,500 contrabands in all have
reached Cairo from the South. Only about
700 arc there, mostly women with large fami
lies of children, and the families of those in
Government service. The others have "been
absorbed by the active demand for labor, most
of them having gone to Southern Illinois, and
three democrats having employed them to one
republican. 200 of them work for Government j
at Cairo at $10 a mouth, relieving as many j
soldiers at $20 a month. Thus says the Chi- j
cago Tribune.

Gen. llnlleck’x Official Report.
Headquahtebs of the Ahmy, I
Washington, Oct. 28th. 1802. )
I Hox. E. M. Stanton, Sec'y of War:
•n reply to the general interrogatories con
| mined in your letter of yesterday, I have to
| report,
1st, That requisitions for supplies to the
army under Gen. McClellan are made by his
slat)' officers on the Chiefs of Bureaus here;
that is for quartermaster's supplies, by his
chief quartermaster on the Quartermaster
General; Eor Commissary supplies by bis
chief commissary on the Commissary General,
etc. Such requisitions have been made to my
knowledge upon the Secretary of War, and
none upon the General-in-Chief.
2d, On several occasions Gen. McClellan has
telegraphed to me that his army was deficient
in certain supplies. All these telegrams were
immediately referred to the heads of bureaus
with orders to report. It was ascertained that
in every instance the requisitions had been
immediately lilled, except one, where tile
Quartermaster General had been obliged to
send from Philadelphia certain articles of
clothing, tents, etc., not having a full supply
here. There has not been, so far as I could
ascertain, any neglect or delay in any depart
ment or bureau in issuing all supplies asked for
by Gen. McClellan, or by the officers of his
start'. Delays have occasionally occurred in
forwarding supplies by rail on account of the
crowded condition of the depots or for want of
cars. But whenever notilled of this, agents
have been sent out to remove the difficulty
under the excellent superintendence of Gen.
llaupt. I think these delays have been less
frequent and of shorter duratiou, than is usual
with freight trains.
An army of the size of that under Gen. Mc
Clellan will frequently be for some days with
out the supplies asked for on account of neg
lect in making timely requisitions and unavoid
able delays in forwarding them and in distrib
uting them to the different brigades and regi
ments.
From all the information I can obtain, I am
of the opinion that the requisitions from that
army have been tilled more promptly, and that
tlie men, as a general rule, have been better
supplied than our armies operating in the west.
The latter have operated at a much greater
distance from the sources of supplies, and have
had tar less facilities of transportation.
3d. Soon alter the battle of Antietam Gen.
McClellan was urged to give me information
of his intended movements, iu order that if he
moved between the enemy and Washington
reinforcements could be sett from this place.
On the 1st of October finding that he proposed
to operate from Harper's Ferry, 1 urged iiim
to cross the river at once and give battle to
the enemy, pointing out to him the disadvan
tages of delaying till the autumn rains had
swollen the Potomac and impaired the roads.
On the 6th of October he was peremptorily
ordered to cross the Potomac and give battle
to the enemy or drive him south- “Four army
■ must move now, while the roads are good.”—
It will lie observed that three weeks have
elapsed since the order was given.
4th. In my opinion there bus been no such
want of supplies in the army of Men. McClellan
as to prevent his compliance with the order to
advance against the enemy. Had he moved
to the south side of the Potomac he could have
received his supplies almost as readily as re
maining inactive on the Xorth.
5th. On the 7th of October, in a telegram in
recrard to his intended miiviMiinnl* fton \f*._
Clellau stated that it would require at least
three day* to supply the-l-t, 5th and Oth corps;
that they needed shoes and other indispensa
ble articles of clothing as well as shelter tents.
No complaint was made that any requisitions
had not been filled, and it was interred from
his language that tie was only waiting for the
distribution of supplies. On the Util he tele
graphed that a portion of supplies sent by rail
had been delayed as already stated. Agents
were immediately sent from here to investi
gate this complaint, and they reported that
everything had gone forward. On the same
date, the iltb, he spoke of many of his horses
being broken down by fatigue. On the 12th
lie complained that the. rate of supply was only
150 horses per week for tile entire army there
and in trout ol Washington. 1 immediately
directed the Quartermaster General to inquire
into this matter and report why a larger sup
ply was not furnished. Gen. Meigs reported
on tlie 14th that the average issue of horses to
Gen. McClellan’s army in the Held and in front
of W.i-hington for the previous 6 weeks had
lieen 1459 per week, or 8754 in all. And in
addition, that large numbers of mules had been
supplied, and that the number of animals with
Gen. McClellan's army on the upper Potomac
was over 31,000. He also reported that he
was then sending to that army all the horses
he could procure. On the 18tii Geu. McClel
lan stated in regard to Gen. Meig's report
that he had tilled every requisition for shoes
and clothing. “Gen. Meigs may have ordered
these articles to be forwarded but they have
not reached our depots, and unless greater
effort to insure prompt transmission is made
by the department of which Gen. Meigs i> the
head, they might as well remain in New York
or Philadelphia, so far os this army is con
cerned.”
1 immediately called Gen. Meigs' attention
to this apparent neglect of his department. On
the 25th lie reported, as the result of his in
vestigation, that 48,000 pairs of boots and
shoes had been received by the Quartermaster
of General McClellan’s army at Harper’s Ferrv,
Frederick, and Hagerstown—that 20,000 pairs
were at Harper’s Ferry department on the 21st,
—that 10,000 more were on their way, and 15,
000 more ordered.
Col. Ingalls. Aid-de-Camp ami Chief Quar
termaster to Gen. McClellan, telegraphed on
the 25th, “the suffering for want of clothing
is exaggerated, I think, and certainly might
have been avoided by timely requisitions of
regimental and brigade quartermasters. On
| tile 24th lie telegraphed to the Quartermaster
General that the clothing was not detained on
the cars at the depots; such complaints are
| groundless. The fact is, the clothing arrives
i and is issued, but more is still wanted. I have
i ordered more than would «eein necessary H orn
any data tarnished me. I beg to remind you
j that you have always very promptly met all
i my requisitions so far as clothing is concerned,
i Our department is not at fault. It provides as I
I soou as due notice is given. I foresee no time
when an army of over 100,000 ineu will not 1
! call for ciotiiing and other articles.”
In regard to Gen. McClellan’s mp&ns nf i
promptly communicating the wants of his ar- I
my to me, or to the proper bureaus of the war
department. I report that in addition to the
ordinary m tils, lie has been in hourly commu
nication with Washington by telegraph. It is
due to Gen. Meigs that I should submit here
with a copy of a telegram received by him
from Gen. McClellan.
Very respect’y your ob't serv’t,
(Signed) II. W. IIalleck,
General-in-Chief.

have never intended, in any letter or dispatch,
to make any accusation against yourself or
your department for not furnishing or for
warding clothing as rapidly as it wa- possible
for you to do. I believe that everything has
been done that could be done in tiiis resjiecL
The idea that I have tried to convey was that
certain portions of the command were with
out clothing, and the army could not move
until it was supplied.

^y“Tlie Daily Chronicle is the title of a new
paper which has been started in Washington,
in which the enterprising Col. Forney is large
ly interested. It promises to become a jour
nal worthy of the capital of the country, and
in its editorial and business management,
already displays an enterprise which will wake
up the newspaper men of Washington, who
are now much behind the nge. It is said that
the new journal will be the organ of the Ad
ministration.
The above we clip from the Boston Journal,
not having seen the Chronicle. We should
truly welcome it to our table as an exchange,
as we wish to have one live, energetic and re
liable paper from the federal capital.
