Feb. 23. 1861. tde The New York. Capitalists.

The New York Journal of Commerce discoursing upon Federal finance, says: The true position of our capitalists need not be mistaken. They ask of the Government, as they would of any other borrower, that it shall not run madly upon certain destruction. If civil war is to be inaugurated, they already hold as much Government stock as they want. AVlieu it comes to this, the Times will find all the letters of the alphabet unanimous in refusing to become lenders, not because they wish to force any ones opinion, but simply because the investment would not prove very promising, and the security would not be deemed sufficient. The fact that the majority of the Republican 'party appear to bo heedless of the more (temperate counsels of Thurlow Weed atod the few acting with him, and inclined follow the violent suggestions of the Tiune aud Courier and Tribune, whose Editors are united in their mail thirst for blood, has not tended to increase the public cdufi lun-e in the incoming administration.

Air. Lincoln, who lmd it in his power, by a single sentence, to quiet tlie general apprehension on this subject, has disappointed nearly all conservative men by his reeefit utterances, which ever way they may be interpreted; nnd the anxiety thus canuot be quelled by a judicious display of firmness. There is a disposition to help Can. Dix in his arduous task of settling up mTpHL balances, and providing. the necessary expenses of carrying on a peaceful administration; but to go beyond this in furnishing a war fund for civil strife, forms no part of tlie intention of the capitalists of New York.

The secession movement has gone too far, and the new Govemmeut has been confided to the guidance of men of too much ability and nerve and decision, to leave room for even a suspicion that it will ba readily abandoned or that it will yield without a desperate resistance even to superior power Gen. Davis is a man of mark one of tlie ablest ami boldest of American Statesmen with large military experience, and the advantage of long service in Congress nud one term as Secretary of War. He lias been regarded for years as the representative man of the extreme Sonth, and Ins will, more than that of any other man, lias given cast and direction to Southern sentiment.

AYe fear it has been a fatal mistake with the leaders of the Republican party in the North and with the masses of that party, that they have underrated the moral power of the secession movement and the ability of the Southern Confederacy to maintain an independent exigence. It is a far easier matter to speak con-temptnously cf the Southern States than it would be to conquer aud subjugate their people. They n.ay be embarrassed and crippled in their trade and commerce their postal arrangements may be expensive, and heavy burdens may be imposed upon them for a time, in divers focus: but through all these difficulties, they look with confidence to a bright future of independence which tlicir imagination paints to them, and press forward. AYe do not believe that the armies and navies of America can subjugate such a people They can be conquered only by conciliation and kindness. But, if it were otherwise if they could be subjugated by the cannon and the bayonet, they could never be compelled to become again willing citizens of our government, and it would require the power of.

stand-armies such as we have never yet possessed, to hold them even in slavish submission. Have the people of the North calmly calculated the cost of coercion But in no one respect, probably, is there so great a mistake in tlie North, as in the supposition that the Southern Confederacy does not possess within itself the means of wealth and commercial prosperity. Because it lias heretofore been dependent mainly on the North for manufactured articles, it. is enviously inferred that they would be incapable of an independent governmental existence. New England is more dependent on the South than the South is ou New England.

All kinds of goods can he manufactured in Alabama, bat cotton cannot be raised in Connecticut. So long as cotton grows in the South the looms and spindles of New England must be supplied and the supplies must be paid for. Measures of coercion or commercial embarrassment to which the North might resort against the South would as seriously client tlie pecuniary prosperity of the Yankee Abolitionist as of the plantation fire-eater. The North will as soon permit the trade with England or France to be cut off as that with tlie Southern Confederacy. Our ships will not be allowed to rot at the wharves or our machinery to rust from disuse, simply to gratify a prejudice or to punish a people who have resolved to dissolve the connection heretofore existing with the government with which wo will remain associated.

AAre arc for the Union and the whole Union, but we do not propose to be willfully blind to the fact that, there is now another confederacy, well and sytematie-ally organized, for the suppression of which wisdom and judgment and conciliation will be far more powerful than armies and navies.

Some time since Capt. Jacob Scriver, who experienced a little service iu the war of 1812, undertook to get up a military company, and succeeded to the number of twenty-six.

After drilling his organization in the tactics of modern warfare, lie magnanimously tendered tlie services of his company to the Federal Government as an auxiliary to put pown tlie secession movement. This company from the Captain down to high private, are all Black Republicans of the Greeley stripe; and by vote ordered tlie Captain to acquaint the Governor of their patriotic intentions. A wag at Parish named Gardiner, learning the action of tlie chivalrous Guards, who were panting to die for their country, indited a letter at Albany, purporting to come from Ilis Excellency, nnd in-formhig Capt. Scriver that on a certain day, au officer of the General Government would lie in Parish, receive tlie Company," n(iid march them forthwith to Fort Sumter! Tho news spread rapidly through tho village, and it was impossible for the vailiant Captain to get sight of one of his brave soldiers The joke finally leaked out, and Gardiner was presented before the Oswego Grand Jury, at its moat session to bo indicted for forgery! The Grand Jury inquired what injury had been done, and tlie complainant answered that most of the valorous troops hud run away to Canada! No bill was found against Gardiner, nor have tlie fugitives been since tho unwelcome letter of Ills Excellency mode its advent among them. If tlie Republican soldiers are nil os brave as that, Lincoln had better consider well before attempting to coerce the seceding Slates.
