Oeigis of rut: Wkstkrji Phairibs.—M. Leo Los-
quereus, the well-known geologist, who has carefully studied the prairies of the Mississippi Valley,
ascribes their general formation to the agency of
water.    He says :
"All the prairies still io a state of formation
along the great lakes of tbe north are nothing
else but marshes slowly passing to dry laud by
bIow recession of water. When land is continually
covered by low stagnant water. Ita only vegetation
is that of the rushes and of the sedges. When the
same laud is alternately subjected to long inundations and to dryness, during some months of the
year, tbe same plants continue to cover it. By
their decomposition these inarssby plants produce
a peculiar ground, either black, light, permeable
when it is mixed with sand, as it is near the borders ofthe lakes, or hard, cold, impermeable wh en
it is mixed with clay or muddy alluvium, as in
some marshes underlaid by shales or clay, or along
the banks of some rivers. Land continually covered with stagnant water cannot produce any trees
because tlie  trees  require for their growth, like
The Stick Plaster Currency*.
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Thus
wrote the delicate Keats, but Keats never knew
the luxury as a stick plaster currency. Postage
stamps, grummed with Lhe best adhesive, sticking
to sweaty fingers, were unknown in his primitive
age. If Congress had not adjourned, it is believed
that it would have made molasses candy a legal
tender by this time. It seemed to be trying to
invent a currency that would stick to people. It
is such a general complaint that money cannot be
kept, that It was evidently tbe idea of this Congress to give lhe people-something that would
itiok to them. Just think, too, how delightful
this, currency is for my business 1 Willi hands
all wet with compounding drinks, I am just prepared lo linger postage stamps! How they do
stick, (hotie.h! By the way, why not make plug
tabacco a legal tender? Have it put up in "cuds,"
from one cent upwards in price—it would do just
the thin;;, just tbe thing that would not stick
Thot-6 who use snuff might put it in envelopes
after the fashion of postage stamps. If the war
is to continue a year or two longer, I go in for
"the legal   tender cuds."    Away with the postage

John Law—A Brief Sketch of Him.—The Famous Mississippi Scheme.
The January number of Soman's Bankers' Magazine contains a very interesting history of the
celebrated John Law, the projector of the well-
known Mississippi scheme and the author of paper
money in France. Law's life is almost like a romance. He was born in Ediuburg iu 1761. His
father was both goldsmith and banker. Youn
Law entered into his fathers business at the ag
of seventeen. He studied dill gently the principle
of banking. When his father died, he inherited
his properly, quit the business, and lived extravagantly iu Loudon. Several years passed. Meantime he became a famous gambler. His success
was astonishing. But reverses came, and close on
the heels of them a duel, ia which he killed bis
adversary. He narrowly escaped the gallows. He
theu wandered all over Europe and was distinguished in all the chief cities as a bold adventurer
and successful gamester. But still he devoted
many of his hours to the study of financial affairs.
Ho conceived a theory in reference to paper money,
which be proposed to several potentates, for he
kept high company. Amongst others, he made
the acquaintance in the gambling saloons of Paris
ofthe Duke of Orleans, who hscame a convert to
his theory. The King, Louis XIV. died • the Duke
became Regent. He fouud France bankrupt, and
knew not what to do. Law opportunely made his
appearance, aod proposed to the Regent the scheme
about which they had so often conversed. It was
adopted. The results were startling. Iu ttie course
of a year Law's notes rose to fifteen per cent, p
roium. He attracted the attention of the wh
kingdom, and his credit rose from day to day
Branches of hisbauk were almost simultaneously
established at Lyons, Rochelle, Tours, Amiens aud
Orleans,
Cheered by success, Law commenced the famous
project which has bauded his name down to posterity. He established, with tbe consent ofthe
Regent, a company " that should have tbe exclusive privilege of trading lo the great river Mississippi and the province of Lousiana ou its western
bank." The country was supposed to abound in
precious metals. Tlie capital was divided into
200,000 shares of 500 Itvras each.
Law's bank had worked such financial miracleB
that everybody expected the same dazzling success from the '* Mississippi scheme." The phrenzy
of speculation seized upon lhe nobles and upon the
masses. Everybody, high and low, wanted the
stock. Crowds of thousands upon thousands
crowded Law's house to buy Uie stock. Dukes aud
Duchesses would wait for hours for an audience.
Men who were poor in th-s morning fouud themselves rich at night.
But at length both of bis scheme.:- failed, France
was thrown into a worse condition than ever. The
people who hud worshipped Law now became incensed agaiustbim Tbose who had humbly craved
audience of him now demanded his execution - for
ruin, aud through his means, had fallen upon
thousands. He quit Paris poor, wheu he might
have amassed millions. He resumed his old occupation of gaming, and finally died in straitened
circumstance. It seems that he waB a sincere believer in his schemes, and attributed their failure
lo mismanagement.

It would seem to be the duty of every thinking-,
cool, dispassionate man, if there are any among
ns, to ask themselves at this jtmciore, what are we
fighting for noivl We have been for nearly eighteen
months engaged in a bloody fratricidal struggle,
and there is no man so bold as to assert thst be
can see the end of it. The reason of the war given
at the commencement of it, was that a Majority of
the southern people were En lavor of the Union,
but that an enterprising and unscrupulous minority of secessionists nad defeated the popular will
by chicanery, and plunged the South into disunion.
This statement was constantly reiterated by the
Tribune, Times, World and Post of ibis city,
and our army was etyh'd by some of these papers.
" the liberating army," going down to relieve tiie
Southern people of a hated and deles'ed tyranny
Thousands of soldiers wereenlisled under ibis idea,
and no doubt cxpecied when they reached tbe
South, to be cheered as deliverers, instead of being
scowled upon as conquerors. Indeed, some of
these journals even went so far as to assert that
were there no Union party in tbe South, and were
the Southern pt-ople united in desiring to with
draw from the Union, then a war to force liiem to
remain would be one of subjugation, and therefore
wrong and unjust. These views were not only
generally inculcated by the Republican papers,
but tliey were enunciated by the President through
Jlr, Seward, his Secretary, who, in a dispatch to
Minister to London,  Sated April
at it would seem that (be Administration was
acting upon tlie new order of IhlllffJ*. A general
exchange of prisoners lias been ordered upon the
basis adopted by the United States and Great Britain in the war of 1812. New army orders hare
just been h-sued from Wasbingion which quarter
our troops upon nil. Unionists and Secessionists
alike. We are acting in all respects like Iwoeep
arate naiions at war. That which was treated an
an ''insurrection" is now regarded as ft war, aud
we see newspapers and public Speakers calling upon the Administration to recogni/.e the fact that
we are at war. Now, that was just what Mr.
Seward declared lie would never d i. He said, in
one of his dispatches to Mr. Adams, that the United States were not engaged in a war, bul only
contending with some of their " 'm.-aii-rectictiai-y
citizens," in fact (bat it was only it riot or a mob,
wh-ch we would quell in " s.ix'.y dc.v:.'' But Irom
recent orders it would seem ttiat tfce old policy has
been abandoned, and Itie Administration now Bay
to the world, we are at war. Tbe question then,
aripes, what are we fighting for now? If there is
no Union teutiment at tbe South, as nil the papers
now admit, then,,of cmnse, we cannot have tbe
Union again, certainly not until we get a Union
sentiment. We mny, if able, subjugate them, but
Ibis Mr. Seward and Mr. Lincoln have expressly
disci nl med, What, then, are we flgbtiog for? We
cau think of but one more possible object yet to
be contended lor, and this is suggested to us by a
passage in Mr. Lincoln's appeal to tho Border
State men in regard to emancipation. He intimates vary broadly that it may be impossible to
restore the Gulf States to tl e Union, and from this
we draw the inference that we mast now be figbt-
lagfor a boundary line. We should be glad to
draw some other conclusion, but how can we ?
Cong less refused lo declaie ihat we " are fighting
for the Union." The Republican papers all say
that there is no Union sen ii men t at the South, and
Mr. Lincoln declares that if there ii- cone it would
be subjugation lo restore an enforced Union, and
he repudiates even the thought oi Ihat to all the
civilized nations ol Europe, What, then, are we
fighting for now!

A young lady—a sensible girl-gives the following catalogue of different kinds of lore ! " The
sweetest, a mother's love ■ the longest, a brother's
love ; the strongest, a woman's love ; the dearest,
a man's love ; and lhe sweetest, longest, strongest,
dearest—a " love of a bonnet."
Mr. Adams
10th, IStil, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
" For these reasons he (the President) could not
be disposed fo reject a cardinal dogma of theirs,
(the seceding Slates,) namely, ihat the Federal
Government could not reduce the seceding States
to obedience by conquest, even although he was
disposed to question tbe proposition. Bat in fact,
the President willingly accepts it as true—only
an imperial or despotic government could have
the right to subjugate disaffected and insurrectionary Slates. This Federal Republican system
of ours is, of all forms of government, tlie very
one which is most unfitted for such a labor/'
It is well  to recur, at tbe present moment, to
these statements irom the press and from tbePres
ident.   Tbey will show us where we started, and
by examining  our  present  position,  we  can   see
bow far we have wandered from them.    To liberate the Union men, to restore freedom of speech,
freedom of the press and an impartial ballot-box,
indeed, to extend the Constitution to those who
bad been unfairly deprived of it, was, at tbe beginning, the sole end aud aim of this war, so far
as the Republican papers and a Republican Congress and President aunouueed it.    To this eud, as
our soldiers advanced   into tbe Southern States,
they were directed  to  scrupulously  protect the
rights and property of all Union meu, and to extend the  severity of war only to those found  in
arms, or their aiders and  abettors.   It was believed that such a policy, comprising clemency to
tbe faithful and punishment  to the secessionists,
would  speedily " develope tbe Union  sentiment,
and restore  the Union."   "Rebels" were to be
shown no mercy.   We hesitated at first about regarding any of them taken as prisoners of war.^
Their privateers captured, wc  declared we would
treat us pirates, while as for auy exchange of prisoners with tlie " mob government"  at  Richmond,
it was not to be thought ot  for a single  moment.
An exchange of prisoners, il was   argued,   wouiu
almost be equivalent to a recognition of tbe Con-
lederute States.    Such is a brief review of matters
as they stood twelve mouths ago.    How do they
stand to-oay 1    Are we fighting to " liberate  the
Union men of the South"  to-day?   Are our armies hailed as deliverers Irom secession   tyranny *»
Are we carrying, as we move southward, the bless,
ings of a free press, and free speech ?    Let us see.
Congress, at tbe last Beseiou, refused to re-affirm
that we are simply fightiug to  restore tbe Constitution and lhe Union.   It also passed unconstitutional  confiscation   and   emancipation   acts 1    II
adopted tbe Wil mot Proviso, and  authorized the
arming of negroes, and in numberless ways showed an utter disregard of the Constitution which it
had professed so strong a deBire to preserve.    The
result  is apparent.    What Uuiou sentiment there
was at, tbe South has beeu turned into in tense
bate, and ihis day these same papers admit  that
the Southern people are a grand and mighty Unit.
Tbe Independent,  Henry Ward Beechcr's paper,
says :
" There was a divided public raind, a large un-
dertoned Union feeling in the South, eveu afler
the war began. It is absurd to talk of any such
thing now. There never was such a revolution cf
popular feeling on record. Dislike has become
hatred. With insignificant exceptions, the
South is a unit in intense and unchangeable hatred of the North?'
If this bo the caBe, then, in Heaven's name, we
aelc, what are we fighting for now? If public
sentiment at the South is unauimous agalust us,
what, then, are we doing but carrying on a war of
subjugation? What, in this view of the case, becomes of Mr. Seward's statement to Mr. Adams ?
Adjutant Lai her C. Biggs, who-laleiy arrived
>m Port Royal, communicates to the New Sain Journal and Courier the substance of a cor-
i ref-poiulrnci- with Mrs. Livingston, ot New York.
'■ who was brought from Savannah under a rebei
(lag of truce, after a sojourn of several months in
Dixie.    Tho officer writes as follows :
Mrs. Livingston, whom I find to be a very inlci
ligent lady, (and who is fbe wife of a captain in
lhe Federal army,) says she has been treated with
ilniforn kindness and respect since her detention
in the South, which datea back to the commence
meut of tht war. From personal observation, she
believes Savannah may be tuken; bul Charleston
never. She has seer, sixteen forts which are already completed, aud the rebels are s ; il engaged
in making more numerous tbe fortifications between Fort Sumter and the city. Tiie enemy say
there are lo be no mere New Orleans.
There is no property, except real estate, within
a cozen miles ol  Charles too.    All   the   furniture,
stores, and  indeed everything   movable,  waa sent
into the interior   immediately   aftn-  tbe  battle of
James Island.    Two provision stores only remain-
Many ef Ibe inhabitants  reside  about three  miles
outside the city, in   barracks  similar  to  soldiers,
and use only the most indispensable and cheapest
kinds of furniture.    No Sabbath-day   services ore
he'd in any of the  Charleston  churches • all   the
church bells have been cast into camion, and eveu
the iron railings aud fences have been collected together and madejnto  cannon,    lt is regarded a
mistaken idea that there are Union men  in  the
South.   Mrs. Livingston dues not believe there is
one.    She never saw a people so united and so determined.    There's not a lady iu the entire   Confederacy who owns $50 worth of jewelry.    It haB
voluntarily  been given to lhe cause, and the proceeds have built many of their fiuest boats.    Tbe
blockade is ineffectual.   Site has seen three steamers enter Charleston harbor in one day; and during
a short visit to Charleston, one steamer made three
trips  Co Nassau,  N. P.,  bringing  medical  stores
enough to last the entire army a full year.    Nothing but tbe most common qualities of wearing
apparel can be obtained ; and shoes are very expensive—the pair she wore, worth  about  §1 50,
Costing in Savannah   $12.    Necessary   provisions
.vere cheap, but tbe luxuries were very expensive.
A   free  market  has been   opened  in  Charleston,
where anybody could procure, ou application, three
pounds of fresh beef, and a half a peck of potatoes
per day.   Besides the heavy war and State tax,
every male resident ofthe Confederacy is taxed S2
per year for the support ofthe families of soldiers.
The utmost contempt and indignation is felt for
General Butler, and  that order is universally regarded as infamous.    Tbe  rebels  expected  to be
defeated at Richmond, and bad made all prepara
tion for falling back upon Gulumbus. which place
was strongly fortified.    The buildings fur Ibe cap"
ital, and those for the  residence of tbe   officers ol
State, had even been selected.    All the ftotton lias
been removed to the interior.   Tbe  Governor of
South Carolina has caused   all tbe negroes to  be
colonized near   Greenville,  some 300 miles in  the
interior. Tbey are under tbe supervision of agents
appointed by tbe Governor, and are to plant c"m
and potatoes for the subsistence of the army, and
are to be fed and clothed by tbe Government during the continuance of  the war.    Very few slaves
are to be found in ■' avannab or Charleston—they
were so scarce as not to be procured   lor servants,
even when SI 50 per day was offered  lor ihem.—
The rebels were most  sanguine  of  .:vir ability lo
protect their independence— and regard it only as
a matter of time.    Boys of eight and ten years oj
age were formed into ■' Home Guards" at Charles
ton and Savannah, and had acquired so much skill
iu the use of arms as to be able to hit a mark formed
iu tlie shape ami size of a man at 30 rods.    These
precocious  defenders,  it  is said,  were to  mount
fences when  the cities were Invaded, anil sbool
down the Yankees.
1   Chicago, have  recently
ore or less serious riots, growing out of that natural instinct  oi stipeiioiily in tho
white race which disdains all equality with the negro.
Thfl Causes   seem to be that large i.umber of "con-
trabands,   stolen fiom  their masters  iu the South,
have sought the large cities of ibe West, where they
are forced to do something or starve.    Being willing
to work for litlle or nothing, tbey have usuipcd the
places of tlie  white laborers,   who  have been discharged to make room for them.    This bus produced
riot and bloodshed already,   ami in  Cincinnati,  especially,   the  trouble itas been serious, and at one
time alarming.     In   Chicago a white man   was arrested, recently, for potting a negro  out of an omnibus.    Tlie Republican officials took tlie part of tho
negro, but the JMry could not  agree.    There seema
to be an  evident determination on (be part of tlio
Republicans io force an   equality   with negroes on
society, especially among tbe laboring  classes.    In
every instance where ic is possible,   white men ara
discharged and negroes  employed.    The Other day
some two hundred   Irish waiters, at  Wijlflrd'fl Hotel  in Washington, were  discharged in a body and
"contrabands"  employed.     Iu Albany we   understand that Plan iv i,\ Hall Hotel, which employed fffrlfl,
has just sent them all adrift, and  have taken no-
groefl, whom they pay but little more than board —
In another  column a  correspondent,  who gives us
his name and address, states   that  white men have
recently  been discharged from tbe   Staten  Island
ferry  boat, and negroes  employed in their places.
Negroes have so  accumulated in Washington, that
we iir'/fisr.-dtui: :.t the passages of n-.jtny ty. the smartest
are paid to   New York and  Philadelphia, and they
are told to look out for  themselves.    In the meantime, wc  are fighting   to liberate more, for  as our
armies move South, all   coming into ourlines are to
be free.    Tn   shis   way, should tbe South be overrun, the result is to free all tbe -'slaves," and moro
or less  wiU, of course, find their way to the largo
cities of tbe   North, where tbey will eke out a miserable existence, working a little, but living mainly on the labor ofthe whites.
This is th'^ prospect before our laboring classes.
If carried out, lhe Republicans will assuredly bring
'•the irrepressible conflict" to their own doors. If
tbey suppose thut ibe working classes ofthe North
are going lo patiently submit to be made the equals
ofnegroas, or (o be elbowed out of employment by
"contrabands," they will be greatly mistaken. Tbey
may us well take warning in time. Let theconflicc
ol races once begin, and it will fall not only on tho
miserable beings whom an insane fanaticism has distorted out of their appropriate positions, but it will
soon reach those who have been tbe guilty instruments of bringing tliis state of things about. The
western riots are but the faint niutteiings of the
coming storm, for so sure aB the Abolition programme is consummated, there is no power that will bo
able to stay the awful retribution which, sooner or
later, will f.i'.l upon those who have been the wicked
instruments of this outrage upon white men,—New
York Caucasian.
The Chicago Times says : Tbe Portland, (Me.)
Argus reports the case of George H. Blake, of that
city, who, after the capture of Hilton Head, proceeded to that place as a negro missionary, to propagate abolitionisin. He has returned, and now
publishes his views on tbe present condition ofthe
slave population and their mora! and intellectual
fitness for freedom, He bad been of the immediate emancipation school, and the question as to
what was to be done with Ihe negro had never entered his mind. That question troubles him uow.
He protests against immediate emancipation for
tbe reason that we " woubl have four millions of
paupers for the Government to sustain, for, being
incapable of self-support in its fullest sense, they
will prey upon the communities wherever they
shall scatter."    He further sayB):
" Before I had went South, Fremont had issued
his proclamation, giving unconditional emancipation to the slav.:s in Missouri. I hailed that proclamation as o godsend, and most heartily endorsed it. I only wished then that our noble
President would catch a similar spirit. I return
north from South Carolina with altogether new
and different feelings. My experience and obsef-
ation, though limited have taught me a new les-
an. There must be a controlling power over tho
negro or%he present generation, educated aa ho
has been under tbe system of slavery, else you ruin
tbe blacks and weaken the Government."
