If some individual* would combine in

I expect the price to

This is a suggsalion of much import*
ante at the present time, and it appears
to be supported by actual experiment.--
We believe with Mr, Lamar, that a Im

and *v Can many d- alert why* Gaugbt a

on the other, in a pecuniary pointot
view tbe cotton holder* will be prodi

action of the planters.
* Sow, It will not, 1 hope, be deerm -i

tion that it is 1 heir duty to sacrifice as

provide, if it bo po»*ihle, that dial inter

haoced value of their property Hut 1
have beyond this no dogmati fondness
for the specific course which 1 would
propose.
How then cen lb<* co'.tnn'boiders con-

Congr«*s im|»oM an ci|aort duty, high at
first and to fall to the present s‘aiidard
after the lapse *.f a few year*, and by an
annftal lessening of the duty. For in*
stance, n»vr ly let the duty be ten cent* a

That such an export duty would invig-
oraour t urroimy, enrich our Coufedo-

W ) again call attention to the act pro
viding for the funding of Confederate
Treasury Notes, and to tho list of U«-
positarh-* for the Btate of Georgia, pub
lished in tins paper. Only a few days ar«
now left of the term within which the
Note* are fundable in eight per cent,
slock, and all who can spare the money
a tumid hasten thus to invest It before the
22<1 i net.
There *ru two strong considerations of
mUrett that should induce men to fund
«n thi* way all their mouey not needed
for prosani support-
lit. Tho laonds wil! most probably
command a premium in a short time.
Why should they not? They will un
questionably be a* wife and as certain of
ultimate redemption u* thocurroney, and
they will b«» •ccurnulating or drawing
yearly Interest, u» the currency will not.
Tho 8 per cent, bondn of tho hundred
million loan now command a premium,
ind *0 should llio H percent, bonds now
about t" be exchanged for Confederate
notes. It i» more doubtful whether tlie
7 percent, bonds will for a long time
command a premium, mid hem e tho im
portance of prompt investment
2d. The notes on hand, or the property
bouahtwilb them, will be heavily taxed
by tho revenue bill which the two house*
nfCongrc*t will have perfec.edand agreed
upon within a few ony*; hut tho bond*
will t>e exempt from taxeiion^ Thi* dif
ference in favor of the bund* will of itself
he equal, probably, to ton per cant. Even
should tlis* bunds lie ten per cent, below
par In tho market, their exemption from
taxation will counterbalance tho depre
ciation.
A patriotic motive to contribute to the
improvement of the currency, and tho
consequent benefit -as! both th* Govern
ment and tho people, should be a still
-tronger consideration in favor of fund-
ingtho notes. l>»t every man who can

that in *0 short a space* of time thirteen

down by the hand of disease. If they had
fallen by tbe hand of the enemy in legiti

have consoled thomselves with tbe proud

Mr. Editor: From recent develop- J ploiUuftho

battle at this place will prove a failure.
There is not now the least indication of
au advance or. tbe part of tbe enemy, nor
is it generally boliuved hero that he will | bell Ufei

Our fortifications are truly formidable, j
and ou» army is in the tinost health and ■ 1
spirit#. In this condition we can hid a
stubborn defiance to the combined energy
and skill of the abolition commander;!
and should he, in his precopitancy. von- j
lure an attack upon this portion of the ]

just reward of ail who invade tho soil j
