The Cnsh null Credit System.
Wo \VuVo favorably impressed with
nft articlo which appeared .in the .CoA-
ffneraey n few days ago, relative to tho
credit system in this country. Roth
tho Editor and his correspondent “Bru
tus,” take ground in favor of the abol
ishment of nil laws for the collection of
debts, as the only cffedunl means of
getting rid of tho evils of the credit
system. Tho editor of the Chronicle, in
alluding to tho same subject, does not
give the suggestion tlmt hearty support
.which it merits, for tho reason that
banking regulations, tho hiring of iie-
groes and like transactions, would ne
cessarily require time. It is probably
true that tiiero are some transactions
which would require special regulations,
hut those should ho regarded ns mere
exceptions to the gcnornl rule, which
wo suppose was truant by tho Confede
racy's correspondent Brutus, in the po
sition assumed, to wit : the abolish
ment of our present collecting laws.
Yet, so far ns tho hiring of nogroos
and iiko transactions aro concerned,
theso need not, necessarily, constitute
exceptions to the rule, no more than
newspaper subscriptions, which avo
now almost universally demanded in
advance; payment in tlioso cases
should bo made monthly or quarterly
in advance, provided the party had not
sufficient honor' and integrity to bo
trusted. As to banks, it is a question
whether they too ought not to be abol
ishod. Many wise, and good men re
gard them as great evils,' and we may
yet livo to seo the day, in tho conserva
tive South, where there will bo no
banks tc impose on tho people.
For our part wo nro down on the
credit system, and go heart and hand
with the Confederacy, in the views ex
pressed in tho article alluded to. Wo
look upon it as a groat and and unmit
igated evil, and aro willing to go to al
most any length to remove it from the
land.
Wo desire to pay as wo go, and wu
want everybody else to do tiro same.
Now is tho time to movo in tho matter,
Now white tire necessity for economy
is so urgent. Now while tho stay law
gives a good pretext .to decline to cred
it any one. Now whilo the country is
engaged in the great struggle for inde
pendence, when the minds of all
should, as far ns possible, be freed from
dobt and encumbrance, that wo may
be able to bend our whole energies, of
mind and body, to tho success of the
groat conflict in which wo nro engag
ed. W.
SO?" Wo copied an articlo from an
exchango in our last issue, stating that
tho Federals in taking possession of
Biloxi, Miss., had also taken the Mo-
bilo & New Orleans Railroad. This is
an orror, ns we have seen a gentleman
that has passed over tho road within
the past few days. Biloxi is no ways
near tho road.
I The Wheat Crop.—Tho Memphis Av
alanche says the wheat crop is said to bo
among tho most piomising lor years.—
A larger'oxtehtof land has been sown
than usual, and tho prospset now is,
nceoirding to the observation of the well
informed, that it bo most abundant.—
A portion of it may be expected in mar
ket in May.

that n friend informed them, that oil

experience. Bene grows to great per
fection in all the Confederate .States,
and we hope some enterprising planter
or gardener will foithwith collect a
quantity of the seed and go into tho
business.

J©-Th« intelligence from thoCoaBt
yesterday brought by passongers, was
mostly based upon rumors of tho sup
posed intended movements of the cno-
my and the preparations on our pnrt
for their reception. Tho gun-boats
continue their visits up Broad ltiver and
the G'oosnw, keeping up an occasional
shelling of some unproteotd landing or
plantation. On Wednesday some of
their cruisers came up ns far ns llogg's
Neck and Boyd’s Landing on Lroud
River and completely demolished tho
fine residence of Mr. J. VV. Gregorio
at Hogg’s Neck, and the residence of
Mr. Fripp.
An immense eleven inch shell was
brought down on tho ears yesterday -
It is of beautful make, of Tory high
finish, and cjuito a curiosity. It was
found on Chisolm’s Place, the scone of
thofighton New Year’s day, and was no
doubt thrown from n Parrot gun. A
brass plate is fitted in the centre. It
looked rather dangerous to be handled
carelessly, and our mon should be very
guarded in moving one of these explo
sive projectiles.

A Reconxoissance on TrntE.—By the

tachment of ten men belonging to his

and fired upon tho Federal pickets who
returned the fire. The men undorC'apt.
Rond's command again loaded and were
advancing towards tho Mnrtello Tower,
when they were ugnin ordered to fire
upon the pickets who again returned the
fire. Great consternntion was then vis
ible in tho camp as though "somebody”
was "hurt," when Capt. Read, on dis
cerning a largo forco approaching from
towards tho MaTtilloTower, gave orders
to his men to retreat to their boats.—
“Nodody hurt” on our side.
Nothing else new from below; tho

©©•Gen. Van Dorn was violently
thrown from his horse, at Manassas on
the 5th inst., in attempting to leap a
ditch while riding from Gen. Beaure
gard's headquarter’s to his own. He is
badly hurt, but it is hoped not danger
ously. An aid, Capt. A. V. Vertner,
was also thrown, and had his leg bro
ken.
A Sensation Wanted.—Oh, for a
movement!—something to stir up tho
dry bonos of the Confederate States
and give us lifo, motion, and some
thing to do. A death-llke torper reigns
over public affairs. The Lincolnites
are on every side, but refuse to move
against us, and wo have no means of
getting at them, our powder is spoiling;
our bnyonets arc rusting and a still
deeper rust is striking into the soldiery
of the Republic. They need occupation
without which life itself becomes next
to unindurable, and the people need the
excitement of great events to stir their
blood and nerve their arms with a vigor
Appropriate to the crisis. It seems im
possible to get a fight out of tho Yan
kees, even on unequal terms. They
hover around us, like evil spirits, steal
ing our negro*, cattle, and poultry, but
when wo prepare for a fight, and having
no boats, go to tho water’s edge to meet
them, they disappear like a thief in the
night. Is there no magic spell by
which we ms,v coax them ashore? Is
thereto man of Yankee descentpimong
us with enough of ancestral ingenuity
loft to invent some specie of decoy that
will got them near enough for a shot
at long taw? If, there is, the Patent Of-
tico is in full operation nnd we guaran
tee him a parchment and glory for pains.
Let something turn up, no innttor
what! Better be killed off by the

©©■Tne Memphis Avalanche says:
Tho burning of tho bridges In North
ern Missouri hns greatly exasperated
the feelings of Gen. Hulleck and the
Federals generally, and hence they
feel like wreaking vengeance upon the
heads of tlioso whom nccidont hns plac
ed in their power. Hnilook rules in St.
Louis witli a rod of iron. Tho seces
sionists ho is particularly hard upon,
lie persecutes them in evory way imag
inable. Many prominent citiaons, sus-
C eded of .Southern sympathies, have
oen arrested, nnd without trial confin
ed in what is called "the Negro Pen"—
whero all tho secessionists are confined.
Resides this, Hulleck hr.s resorted to
tho confiscation of tho property of
Southern men, or ffe levies from $100
to $1000 on every man of property,
known to be a Southern sympathiser,
and if thoy dw not pay tho levy, they
are cast into the “Negro Pen.” Urel
Wright, C. C. Churchell, Thorton
Grimsley, and other prominent citizens
linvo been persecuted in the manner
indicated. In a word, tho secessionists
of St. Louis “live and movo and have
their being" in such an atmosphere of
terror, that they dare not call their
souls thoir own.
Nevertheless, among tho young peo
ple of the place—and particularly
among the young ladies—thore is an
abiding feeling in favor of tho South
ern cause. An illustration of this fact
occurred a few days before our infor
mant left. Whilo a Lincoln officer was
ridiug along the (street, dressed in all
nil his gilded finely, a young lady
shouted: “Hurra for Jeff. Davis,” as
ho passed. That officer went imraodi-
atoly to camp, reported that he hid
been grossly insulted whilo riding along
by ladies, and immediately the house
was invested with soldiers, waiting the
arrival of the head of tho family.
When the gentleman returned home
ho was surprised at the military dem
onstration, nnd inquired the; cause, but
without oxplnnntion ho was atrested,
and while being borne OS’ to tho "Ne
gro Pen," the young lady, offering her
self, said, that if any one was to be con
fined in a dungeon she claimed the
irivilege; but the request was not
seeded, and the proprietor*)? the prem
ises had to serve n regular term in the
“Negro Pen.” But time, and spaco
weuld fail us to tell of the many acts
of petty tyranny constantly enacted to
ward gentlemen suspected of Southern
sympathies in St. Louis.
The Christian Soldier.—Christian
mon in our armies sheuld labor them
selves with redoubled dilgenco to coun
teract the spirit cf license which camp
life is so sure to engender. There is
abundant room for prayer and the of
fices of sincere devotion in all depart
ments of militaiy duty. A man will
be a better soldier if ho is also a good
Christian. Tho prayer meetings which
tho noble Havelock used to hold among
his men nerved their arms with won
drous vigor. It was the praying who
made the armies of Cromwell invinci
ble. It was this same trust in God that
gave our Rerolutiionary sires such
strength in the day of battle, which
went before tliom like a visible pres
ence in nil thcii sufferings and tolls.—
There is no reason why our nrinios
should not be pervaded with this same
Christian spirit and Christian trust.
Incendiaries at the Navv Yard,
An attempt was mado on Sunday Inst
to bum the saw mill at tho south end
of the Navy Yard, with the expecta-
tion, no doubt, of destroying therewith
other valuable buildings and property
in the city. Fortunately, however, the
dense smoko arising exposed the vile
attempt in time to prevent an exten
sive conflagration. On examination it
was found that a largo pile of shavings
and other combustible material bad
been placed directly under the most
valuable part of the mail, and thore fir
ed. It is rumored that very large re
wards have been offered by the enemy
to persons secretly in their employ, to
destroy tho property in this Yard, and
it is hoped that the utmost vigilance
will bo maintained, that the miscreants
may bo detected and dealt with ns their
conduct merits;—Portsmouth Nenseript.'
Look Out !—Notes of the broken Cen
tral Bank of Nashville, Tenn., are be
ing pushed into circulation; they are
worthless. In some instance* the word
"Alabama" is pasted over tho word
“Tennessee," but tho note is altogether
unlike the Alabama Central bank note.
Look out!—Memphis Appeal,
©©“The army correspondent of tho
Charleston Mercury, says:
Gen. Beauregard has issued an order
permitting tho various Brigade Generals
to grant leavo of nbsonco to soldiers de
sirous of visiting any of tho encamp
ments within the lines of the Potomac.
This is a sensible order, and will doubt
less, be fruitful of many convivial gath
erings of *11 friends this winter.
The recent meeting at the Exchange
Hotel of the officers of various railroads
in North Carolina and Virginia was
held not a moment too soon. Indeed
no harm would have been done if it
had been held six months ago.. To dis
cuss now tho mode of supplying mate
rials to roads almost worn,to the sills,
is like locking the stable door after the
borse is stolen.
Troubles of Lincolndom.
A venerable proverb hath it, “Misfor
tunes never come singly, but by bat-
talliotts." Llncolndem is realizing tho
truth of this apothegm. Fresh trouble
meet it at evory turn. Tho shadows
are thickening upon Us path, and in a
little space, a night will close upon it
whose darkness, like that which came
down upon tho land of Egypt, will
press with tho weight of agony upon
its soul. Smitten upon Us national
honor, it is distracted nnd bewildered
by the terrible blow. ' It looks for pity,
but no pity is felt for it. Tho nations
hear ifs moans and howls, and rejoice
over Us humiliation. Us tears and
plaints call ferth sneers, and taunts, and
tho laugh of ridicule.
The simple surrender of our ministers
will not, we apprhohend appease the
wrathful indignation of England, and
with this lion still in their path, thore
comos another question which tho for
eign press is discussing with great free
dom und severity. The stone blocknde
is utterly denounced by tho orgnns of
all parties and estntes on the other side
of the ocean. It is in itself a piece of
barbarism. It is a wanton and insolent
trespass upon the rights of all nations.
A lawful nnd effective blockade of our
seaports, continues in force only so long
as hostilities last between the nations at
war, but in the malignity of their
malice, the Lincolnites would closo the
Southern ports forever, upon the recip
rocal benefits flowing from commerce
with tho rest of tho world. This is at
once a crime against God and man.
For tho execution of tho purposes of
His wisdom and goodness, ana for the
benefit and happiness of mankind, He
li.-.s opened channels leading to the sea.
What right has any people to mar this
arrangement of Provdlenee, and de
prive a State for all coming time of the
blessings of commercial intercourse
and traffic? This plan when viewed in
n moral light is an enormous wicked-
noss.
We cannot entertain the idea for ono
moment, that these nations whoso
quietude and prosperity are largely de
pendent on our staples, will accept tho
substitution of stone for the vigilant
presence of vessel* in motion. It may
be made in some instances effective,
but it does not comply with tho legal
requirements involved in that term, and
so far from being considered effective,
tho adoption of this plan will bo looked
upon as an abandonment of tho foolish
attempt to blookado the Southern
ports.
'this piece of vandalism will also bo
regarded by foreign nations as an open
confession of their inability to establish
and sustain an effective blockade. The
inefficiency of the Lincoln blookado has
been proclaimed almost every day since
it was instituted. Vessels that escaped
tho wntchful oyeof the Federal pirates,
have announced the fact in other waters
with booming guns, and the banner of
the young nation floating proudly from
their masts. Foreign nation* have pro
nounced it inoffioient, and t.heir papers,
while sneering at the weakness of the
pretentious Government, have properly
attributed their toleration of it, to r
generous forbearance. This noble for
bearance hns been lost upon the con
ceited pccple; nnd their necessities re
monstrate loudly against its longer ex
ercise, England especially is suffering
greatly for the want of Cotton, nnd un
less some piovision is made for the mil
lions who det-ivo subsistence from that
staple, in the space of a few months
hunger and destitution will make their
voices heard, nnd those in power will be
forced to feel that thoy have a vital in
terest in tho present war.
While danger menaces them ubrond,
there aro dissensions among themselves,
which in all probability will breed trou
ble for the impoverished atid despised
nation. The Emancipation and Confis
cation Bills introduced by Stevens and
Trumbull,—the former “declaring free
and offering freedom to all slaves who
will leave their masters," tho latter
sweoi ing away the property of rebels,
including their slaves—nave given rise
to seriotts differences of opinion nnd
much angry discussion. And not only
arc their Senators and Representatives
divided on these important meifsurns,
but the Cabinet itself is disturbed by se
rious divisions. Lincoln and Seward
standing together in opposition to theso
resolutions, and Chase, Cameron and
WelJes strongly contending in favor of
their adoption. Indeed, it is stated by
an official organ of tho Government,
that Lincoln had sent circulars to tho
officers of high rank in the army, in*
forming them thnt if these Bills pass he
will veto them.
Tho rabid fanatics are urging the
adoption of these measures with all ve
hemence. Those who oppose them are
denounced vs traitors and cowards.—
This discussion has excited the deepest
indignation in the Southwestern States,
and is doing great good to the cause of
the Confederacy. The ill -feeling en
gendered is manifesting itself in many
obvious forms, and tho magnitude of
the question is comprehended by the
more moderate and far seeing. If the
Bills ure passed the border States will
array themselves against the Adminis
tration, if they aro not passed, a large
and powerful party is offended. We
shall seo what will come of these di
visions.
