TIIK CONDITION OF THE 7tII AND 8tI!

IN THE ECHOLS GUARDS, AC., AC.
Maramai, Va., Aug. 1st, 1861.
Dear Taylor: I arrived on Tuesday about
sunset.
Let a word explain the fatigue of the trip.
The cars wore crowded through the whole
route, even to the platforms; no good water ;
little food; no rest, and hot, hot, hot! Col.
Gartrell was encamped at the Junction ; the
8th Georgia Regiment about 5 miles off, which
distance we made through the dark and mud.
The boys generally seem tired, weary, jaded
and sad—mourning the fate of the killed and
wounded. Every one was ready to relate his
own adventure, and many were able to tell
the story of the brave dead.
The Great Battle, so greatly interesting,
seems to have swallowed up all idea of the
condition of the troops about the time they
entered the engagement.
Gen. Johnston, with about ten thousand
troops, left Winchester on Thursday, about 6
o’clock, P. M., and marched towards Piedmont.
About midnight they reaohed the Shenandoah
river, where, I am told, a most interesting and
laughable scene occurred. The command was,
“Halt; untie and take off shoes; forward,
and wade or swim, according to emergencies."
Tis said that the appearance of the army was
at that time entirely uniform. Just think of
it: ten thousand men with their knapsacks
and clothing on the point of their bayonets,
crossing the beautiful Shenandoah at the silent
hour of midnight, in the clear light of the
moon. The distance from Winchester to Pied
mont (a station on the railroad leading from
Strasburg to Manassas Junction) is about 30
dangerous. The wounded of the enemy art
dying rapidly.
I shall be at home in time to resume my du
ties In Gollegs, without snaneident. It It new
very difficult to obtain pass to the army be.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT LOAN.
* Tiu'bsdat, Aug. 1.
A very emaU bweiaeee was daat this men
iog in stock*- those for delivery bought in
some descriptions at a fractional advance on
yesterday’s prices. The Southern stocks geo
erally were better, and Missouri* stood 2]
better than yesterday ; Louisiana 3per cent
The 6s of '06 sold at 86J—a fall of lper cent
The railroad bonds end chares showed a veri
iation of with little of interest offering
in any respect.
There is title change in the rate for money;
at call 4@6 per ceal., and good paper 6 psr
cent. The Government loan is avoided, how
ever. The publio have been wailing the ao.
lion of Congress, and that so far as it has
been bad to day by telegraph does not appear
to be favorable. The pledge of sugar and tea
duties for interest seems to have beed finally
abandoned as well as the aliempted substitu
lion of 9 for 6 psr ceot, interest on notes.—
The 8ub Treasury act has, it appears, bsen
se far repealed to allow the banks to re*
tain the gold subscribed for Government loans
until required for disbursement. This, In re
ality, destroys the principle of the Sub-Treas
ury act, and the fortunes of the Government
are once more blended with those of the
banks.
Bytbe advices fromEuropt the demand eon*
taioed in Mr. Lincoln’s Message for $4,000,-
000,000 is regarded as “absurd,’’ and the
London Times iuiimates that nothing can be
borrowed there.
The report of the Assistant Treasurer for
New York, published yesterday, shows the
Customs for July to have been :
July, 1800 $ 418,861 62
July, 1801 4,624,882 82
mile
This march was made in 20 hours, including
all stoppages, and without food or rest; and
about 2 o’clock, Friday afternoon, they were
jammed, rammed, crowded into a train of cars
with little ventilation and some without seats.
They reached the Junction during the early
part of the night, and marched 3 or 4 miles
out to camp and slept in the open air, too tired
to cook. Many fell asleep without a mouth
ful to eat Early next morning they were or
dered to march to the extreme left of the
main forces at the Junction, a distance of 5 or
7 miles. The next morning, Bunday, the ene
my making a feint attack by firing cannon on
the extreme right, Gen. Bartow went forward
to meet the enemy with all poasible speed,
making the diatance of ten milea in double
quick time. It seems too much, but it is true.
1 mention this to give you an idea of the con
dition of the 7th and 8th Ga. Regiments, when
they entered the fight on Sunday. They
fought all day without food, aud very little
water. Such endurance, auoh fortitude, auoh
bravery aud fighting, and such a victory as
they won, has not a parallel in history. The
conduct of the 4th Alabama, 7th and 8th Ga.
Regiment* decided the fate of the day with
out a doubt.
It ia reasonable to supf ose that those Regi
ments whose losses were the greatest were io
tbe thickest of the fight; such is the case with
the shove.
The Adjutant promised to give me a full
report of the condition of the Regiment, but
unfortupately they were ordered to mareh
some 8 or 10 miles from that point, making
tbeir camp some 4 miles from the Junction
toward Alexandria. Gen. Jones (I believe of
Va.) succeeds Gen. Bartow, and, I understand,
will assemble his Brigade at Camp Walker, 4
miles beyond tbe Junction towards Alexan
dria.
Early next morning, (after my arrival,)
Lieut. Malone conducted us over tbe memora
ble field. He was in tbe entire engagement,
aud was able to give us a full account. His
explanations were clear and vivid. I shall
never forget the scene. Mrs. Taylor passed
over the grounds the day before, and will give
you ao oral description far more interesting
than we could write. She left there for Or
ange, a small town on the railroad from Rich
mond to Manassas, at which place she found
her brother, Lieut. Dillard, who was wounded
in the upper lip. He is well cared for, and
improving. Capt. Koreacre and Lt. Witt are
doing well at Warrenton. They fought like
tigers.
Of the Echols Guards, Capt. C. W. Howard
and William Godhy were killed on the field—
my brother and my consin.
B. Tucker, wounded in the right thigh near
the hip—he is nearly recovered, up and walk
ing; Levi Blount, shot through the thigh;
Uesh wound, doing very well; E. Glenn, in
the calf of the leg, flesh wound, getting well;
J. E. Porch, in the hip, fleeh wound, getting
well. These are at Orange, and receive every
attention poesible under the circumstances.
J. P. Atkinson, wounded in the left hip; rath
er a bad wound; ball lodged ia the thigh;
Eppenger, above the right ankle; Skid Adams,
shot through the left knee—tbe severest wound
of all. These three are et Richmond, and are
yrj,vtry well cared for. About thirty of the
company have been very siok with measles
and fever, and only 44 were able to engage ia
tbe fight.
I forgot to etate that Frank Ward and Gra
ham were missing, though both were seen af
ter the battle. It is thought by some that
Ward ie a prisoner.
H. E. Malone la elected Captain of the Bch-
ole Guarde; Mobley, let Lieutenant; Tram-
mal, 2d Lieutenant; Glaae, Sd Lieutenant.
Dr. Mayeon was with bis brother who was
wounded (I believe at Charlotte.) I have net
been able ae yet to see them. Wn. Maysoa,

Deorease $4,106,971 30
This ia the amount of specie received for
Customs. Some $1,500,000 in Treasury notes
were reoeived in addition.
There is a singularity erroneous impression
entertained in relation to the Government
finances, that a war as expensive as the
present one promises to be can be main
tained by borrowing. Those who en
tertain tbe idea point to England where a
war was conducted by means of debt. There
is ia that|an entire mistake. The debt of Eng
land is indeed very large, Laving been t aboui
$4,000,000,000 at tbe close of the last war ;
but that debt repreeents but a small propo
tion, perhaps 40 per cent of tbe cost of the
French war. The largest portion of tbe ex«
pen sc u was paid by taxes within the year.—
Tbe largest amount ever borrowed in any one
year was (in 1816) £00,000.000, or $250,-
000,000, but there was raised by taxes in the
same year $300,000,000. Thus more than
half the year's expenditures were always rais
ed by taxes. Such a system of finance was
only possible in consequence of tbe isolated
position of Great Britain, and of tbe great
development of manufactures of which she
held a monopoly, under the stupendous in
ventions of steam aud steam driven machin
ery.
The amount which the Government borrow
ed was only equal to tbe excess of the Nation
al export over tbe imports. That excess,
instead of being received in goods, or gold, or
produce, was taken by tbe Government and
paid for in paper, whioh floated as a curren
cy. It was a situation of affairs which cculd
never again happen in any country.
England was then tbe manufactory for the
world, and the inventions of Watt, Arkwright,
Whitney and hundreds of others bad impar
ted the most gigantic power to the roanufac~
taring process. Thus, in the single article of
cotton goods, tbe British exports, from noth
ing in 1799, rose to $60,000,000 per annum
in 1816. By keeping control of the sea, Eng
land kept the markets of the world open to
her goods, and she had no competitor. Even
at tbe time of the most rigorous enforcement
of tbe Continental system,Bonaparte was com
polled to buy British woollens for uniforms.
With the great activity of machinery and the
improved supplies of raw materials, English
exports grew very rapidly—at her own pri
ces. This Is an important point In her finan
cial system.
Tbe amount due England in a year for ex
ports over the importation of produce and
material would be probably £30,(>00,000 or
$150,000,000. The Government took that
money for the use of its armies and agents.—
In payment ofjhe bills it emitted Exticequer
bills and other paper which floated in tbe cir
culation as money in connection with the notes
of the Bank that had suspended payment.—
As a matter of course, ea this volume ef pa
per increased, it depreciated as oompared with
gold, the depreciation showing itself in a rise
in the prices of commodities. With this
rise in commodities en epperent prosperity
attended ell branchea of industry. Commerce
being uninterrupted, husieese of ell kinds
was active et risiog prices, making it easy for
the Gorernment to collect the enormous taxes
that were levied. Thus the Gevernmeut bor
rowed the money due England for exports,
end the paper it paid out in return inflated
prices and gave back taxes to the Treasury,
England was in one year thus enabled to re
alise £110,000,000 or $600,000,000 from loans
and taxes. This system turned upon one sin
gle point, vis : that England had a close mon
opoly of supplying the world with manufac
tured goods. She alone ruled the seas and
alone manufactured the goods. She alone
was possessed of the marvelous inventions of
machinery that enabled her to turn out the
goods in auy quantity, and at constantly
ebsapening oost. Hence the tbe advance in
the prices of those goods which the otniHslons
of Government paper caused was no detri
ment to her exportation, her customers were
compelled to pay whatever she asked, and
they in fact paid the taxes that were Imposed
for the war.
After the peace such e system ceased to be
possible, because if the prices are inflated by
paper issues the export veluo must be govern
ed by the specie basis in tbe markets of the
world where there ere now ao.mnnT competi
tors. When, therefore, peace took place it
became necessary, in order to maintain tbo
markets, to reduoe the cost of goods,(the bank
returned to ipeoio payments, taxes were re
moved, end Uie burdens upon the oost of pro
duction has been gradually reduced down ‘to
tko present day. This process bee maintain
ed tbe trade of Engleod, boi it kae intreesed
the burden of the debt, since et tko lower
priees the Interest represents e much larger
Quantity of the products of ieduetry then
formerly.
From whet has been hem said it will be
seea bew totally differoot ie tke situation of
affaire here, from what U was in England,
when under the feast fhrorabls circumstances
U was only possible for her to borrow lees
then half her annual expenditure within tho
pnar.
Congress has now appropriated for the ear
rioe of the year e turn of $600,000,000, or
equal to tbe largest expenditure ever medeby
Eegland in one year; end expects to borrow
tbo whole of it, although all industry, trade,
values and revenues have perished To fol
low the Eoglieh rule, end borrow the amount
ia impossible. A bill to tax for only 4 per
ceot. of the amount hae been thrown out of
tho Houeo, on tho ground that tho people will
not submit to it! Tho foreign trade is en-
t irely dead, and affords no machinery on which
to bass financial operation.
Tbo project of sppeal to the people for a
national loan, In imitation of the Freooh Em
peror, is another instance of the mode io
which the “ Cabinet compellera” jump et eou-
olueions.
The French population is 37,000,000 peo
ple. With the advent of Napoleon, or “ that
fool,’’ as tbo “ Tribune,’’ some years, habitu*
ually designated him, to power, nn extraordi
nary degree of prosperity developed itself, as
manifest in the annually increasing exports
of Freooe. These exports, for 1866, exceed
ed, by 50 ^ oent., the average for the five
previous years, and the indireet taxes had in
creased in a similar proportion, showing the
utmost general prosperity. In such a slate
of affaire, tbo Emperor offered to borrow
$50,000,000 in a national loan, payable io
small instalments, over a period of two years,
and it was taken by 99,124 subscribers, et a
prioe of 94 for 4} cent, stock, and G4 for
3 pi oent. stock. This was considered ea im
mense euocese among 37,000,000 people, en
dowed with the highest prosperity and confi
dence in the Government. The lowest sub
scriptions were for $02 capital, payable in
installments every twenty months.
Tbe loan was followed by three others, es
follows:

99,124

090,100
$400,000,000
Tbe three first loans, made in 1864-6, were
not paid up until after 1857. Tbe amount
raised was, therefore, about $160,000,000 "JP
uni among 87,000,000 very prosperous
people. About two thirds of the loans, in
amount, were taken in Paris, where specula
tion ran very high. If we bow compare our
wn situation, we find it is proposed to bor
row $600,000,000 in one year of 18,000,000
people, whose business is ruined, and whose
revenues are destroyed, and who are under
going a degree of industrial depression great
er than was ever before experienced. To raise
u the Northern Slates, this year, tbe sum ap
propriated by Cot grass, would be equal, per
bead, to raising in Fraoce $1,000,000,000, or
six times as much as was thought a brilliant
suocess for tbe firoperor! Nothing can place
‘n a dearer view the stale of exaltation with
whioh the Government financiers appropriate
money, and the cowardly fear with whioh
they shrink from furnishing tbe means.

Plan for Carry ing on the War.
Congress has voted 600,000 men and $600.»
000,000 to carry out the war io which the
Government is embarked to put down the
great rebellion. There is nothing left for us
but to go through it; but the question is, bow
it can be carried to a speedy terminati
a long langu’shing war would be destructive
to every interest. Tbe plan, then, is to raise
000,000 men instead of 600,000, and to raise
loan of $000,000 000 ins(e»d of $500,000,-
000. Tbe defeat at Bull Run will make tbe
war oost us $100,000,000 more than would
have been necessary, bad not the foolish ad
vance on to Richmond been made.
Uodsr tbe organising mind of McClellan,
let tbe 000,000 men bo sent to some t wsnty or
thirty camps of instruction, and after being
under tbe best of officers, let 200,000 be pla
ced on the line of the Potomac by uext Octo
ber, and then let 200,000 be sent down ths
Mississippi, capturing all the cities on its
banks, including New Orleans. Then let 200,-
000 more be sent by sea to operate in sundry
columns from tbs Atlantic coast, oapturing
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and Pensacola.
As nearly the whole fighting element of the
South is now in Virginia, the Cotton States
would bo rapidly conquered; for the rebel
army between Richmond aod Virginia could
not go to their relief wiih 200,000 Un
ion troops in their rear, on tko banks of the
Potomac, ready to march after them, taking
Richmond on tbo way.
As tbo slaves are mostly to be found in ths
Cotton States, these contraband goods would
become spoils of war, together with all the
real aod personal estate of the secessionists,
ia pursusnee of the act recently introduced
icto Congress canfiacating all ths property of
ths rebels, houses, lands, horses and negroes.
Tho slaveholders io the revolted Slates num
ber about 300,000. Their slaves number about
3,000,000. Thera are about 750,000 poor
whites, heads of families, in those States, who
have no Slaves and no interest in slavery.—
Let (he t slaves bs sold.to them at $26 per head,
the price of a live Yankee caught at sea by
the privateers of Jeff. Davis, the terms to be
either cash or credit, to bs redeemed in Cot
ton.
This sale would at once create a majority of
Union mea throughout tho South, while it
would realise a sum of seven hundred and fif
ty millions of dollars, which would pay ths
expenses of war. Then the Cotton of the
present slaveholders, whioh will bo found ac*.
cumulated at the eeaporta end other points,
must also bs seized and sold to England and
Franca. The proceeds of this sale would
give us a handsome profit on the war, filling
tke Treasury and saving our Government the
necessity of taxation by revenue, or iu any
other shape for years to com*. Thus would
the war be finished, peace established, aod the
Union restored. All this must bo done lefore
the first of May, 1862. And if it bo not done,
it will only be beoause we have not tho right
kind of men to comprehend the plans, or to
oarrt sot tho programme.

Caors, Wbathcr, Etc.—The Indian coun«
try, like tbe 8tatee throughout the Confoder
soy, has bean favored with a propitious seas
on, and blessed with a bountiful harvest.—
Wheat, oats, rye, barley, and Hungarian
grass, were never more plenty, while the in-
coming oorn crop promises ao uuusual large
yield. Up to tbe present time, we have bad
an abundance of rain, and our people have
experienced no inconvenience on the account
of tbe soarcity of water.
Sines tbe new treaty waa formed with
the several tribes on our Western frontier,
tbey have retained the most amicable rela
tions towards the Cbickasaws and Whites.—
No depredations have been committed by ei
ther tribe, and, it appears, all that they de
sire is to be let alone to pursue their accus
tomed and oheriehed modes of life.
Tub Comfbdbjiatb Tbibbs.—Four of tbe
tribee—Muscogees, Seminoles, Choctaws and
Chickasaws—inhabiting this Territory, have
formed a Confederacy, for the purpose of self-
defence and the promotion of their general
interests.
The Fort 8 uith (Ark.) “Times,” has the
following:
We learn that Captain Pike has concluded
treaties with tbe Choctaws, Chickasaws,
Crooks and Semioolefl. All the tribes oa this
froolier have formed an allianee with tbe Con
federate States, except the Cberokeea.
Mr. Ross is for neutrality, and a large num
ber of bis people are with tbe 8outh, mostly
half-bloods, while the full bloods are opposed
to the 8outb, and still adhere to the old Gov
ernment. The Cherokecs are very much di
vided, as we learn from people who live in the
Nation; and several of tbe half blood* have
been compelled to flee for their lives. We have
no hope of any arrangement being made with
Mr. Ross and the Confederate Commission

that the Creeks called a Grand Counoil to rat

tbe part of the Confederate States, and the
Indian tribes on this frontier. 8ix hundred
delegates attended the Council, and, after the
treaty was read and interpreted, it was rati

Correspondence of the New York Tribune.
New Plan of the Secessionists to Carry
Maryland out of the l/nlou.
Baltimore, July 29, 1801.
The secessionist* here are io high feather
at the prospect before them. They affect no
concealment of the plan which Jeff Davis has
for forcing Maryland out of the Union, and
transferring the battle ground to this State.
Their latest version of it is this :
They do not propose to disturb Baltimore,
for fear it may be bombarded and burned to
the ground by Col. Morris. Their wealth and
property are too great to be exposed to this
terrible alternative. But Jeff Davis Is to send
a portion of bis army over into Maryland
across the Potomac, somewhere between Har
per’s Ferry and Little Falls, and ia to take
post at some point which they can fortify as
tbey have done Mauaesas Junction. Several
points are discussed, but the general opinion
of tbe sympathizers with this movement is
favor of Frederick Junction. Tbe rebel ar*.
my is to make a stand at tbe point chosen, in
such force os to be able to maintain tbeir pO'
sitiou and tbeir communication with the Vir
ginia side of the Potomac. Fortifications are
to be thrown up along the line of communi
cation, on the banks of the river and at tbe
Frederick Junction. Iu this way the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad is to be command
ed.
The planting of the rebel flag on the toil of
Maryland, it ie confidently believed and in
tended, by tbe aeoessloubt*, will be followed
by a rapid uprising and concentration of tbeir
fortified encampments of those 30,000 Mary
land rebels which Mr. May boasted of in bis
late speech before Congress, ae being ready to
take up arms against tbe Uoited States.—
Pending this rallying of tbe secession forces,
the Legislature is to legislate the State out of
the Federal Union, and thus formally com
plete the rebellion. Tbe rest tbey are willing
to leave to the chances of war, hoping to save
Baltimore by the reduction of Washington,
which they think will be easily achieved by
an attack upon it from the rear. When asked
bow Jeff Davis is to get his army into Mary
land, with General Banks al Harper’s Ferry,
they say that Joe Johnston will give him
enough from tbe direction of Winchester,
while Beauregard will keep Oen. McClellan
busy in front of Washington, and that while
they were thus engaged, Gen. Lee will alip
across the Potomac and seize the Frederick
Junction.
