Inlscencts, which are rcprodurcd from tho col
umns ol Iho Journal Jt Ihbalt, might be
profitably ncallit b'such of our countrymen
as are confessing in querulous tones a feeling
of Impatience nt the delay which attends our
military ojicrations on the line of llie Potomac :
'-The Americans began the war with F.ng.
'and lo 1812 In n deplorable way. The first
army which they put into the nelj made a
,.huiin ful eiiintulutinn. Hut Ihey ended It in
lunuury, 1813, by u magnificeut triumph, the
vielnry of New Orleans. It was thus that
Peter the Gnat, after defeat upnu difeal, finally
succeeded, al Pullowa, in dt.lroylng his con
querors, llie Swedes. It was ihu llmt the
soldiers o( the Ficnch Itcvoluiion, who were
very poor soldiers in llie outset, became by ex-p-rienee
iheheriKS of Fleurus, or ltiioli, of
the Pyramids, and of Zurich, S'or can we see
any reusoi) why il should not bo thus also with
ihu North Americans in the war nf which the
year 18G1 hits seen Iho commencement."
That the delay of our military leaders Is not
inspirit) by auy apathy in Iho uatlonul cause,
but is dlcluled by what Ihey deem indispensa
ble considerations ol soldierly prudence might
bo inferred from their patriotic character, and
that the riod of preparation Is to be followed,
ut llie proper time, by blows which shnll tool
the capabilities of the Federal arms for Iho
suppression of insurrection, would seem to be
significantly iutlmutcd by Major General Mc
Clellan, when, on the occasion of receiving the
sword recently presented lo him by the Coun
cil of Philadelphia, he expressed the opinion
that "the war cannot bo long, though il may
bu desperate.'' In the mean time It bchoovis
all to second bis aspirations for the "forbear
uuee, patience, and cuifidciicc,, of his country-

The Finances of the Country.
Mr. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury,
has returned to Washington, having during his
absence, completely succeeded in the purposes
ol his visit to New York.
It will be remembered that Congncss, nt lis
July session, authorized a loan of two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars, leaving nt the op
tion of the Secretary In his negotiations three

lion without Interest, payable on demand, or
running one year with interest. In all enses
the interest to be paid was limited, and the
aggregate amount or .Increased Indebtedness
was not to exceed the sum or two hundrid and
flfiy millions of dollars.
..In 11.1 month of August, t!c,bnki ofNsw
York, lloston and Philadelphia were Invited
to a conference, and the delegates appointed in
pursuance of such liivitaticn received from the
Secretory in person n finnk and full slalrmiut
or Iho wanli iif tho Government, accompanied
by an expression or his own financial views.
The several conferences so held In the city of
New York, notwithstanding the gloom which
then hung over llic country, resulted, ns our
readers already know, in nn agreement by the
Hanks to take immediately fifty millions, with
Ihu privilege or taking at their option a loin
drrd million nddltionul, in two amounts ol
fifty million each.
Subsequently the second fifty millions were
subscribed by the banks, the option ol hiking
n third fifiy million expiring on the lit De
cember proximo. The issues for these IiiiimIihI
million assume the form or three years' bonds,
paying nn interest or 7 .1 10 rnr cent.
It Is understood thai llic Secretary prnpnrd
far only one hundred mid fifty million under
the lii-m of tho national loan. Such was ht
confidence In the patriotism nnd energies ufniir
people nnd In the resources or the country that
uo doubt rested upon his mind Ihul, with the
Immediate old or the bank, supported by n
popular subscription, the large sums memary
for the successful prosicutluii ol Iho war could
lie nuindly rnlfcd.
Kvinl huve lully proved Ids wImIiiiii nnd
fore-sight. The first two subscriptions fur fifty
millions inch have Ix-cn followid by it seven
er cent loun ut par, In twenty yiars' bunds,
nl a third fifty millions, leaving with the banks
the option ofluklng llie fourth fifty millions
in three years' bond at seven und three-tenths
