jtfdyThe City Council of Atlanta has
Coen, and is still doing nil in their
power to bring down the prices of pro-
isions in that city,-and providing for
the wpnts of tho poor. Tlius far they
have been successful. They have al-
idy brought beef down from 75 to
50 ot<. p -i lit., tm*al and corn from $3
to $2 pi-r bushel, and every thing else
n proportion. They first got a pledgo
■Irom tin* military-authorities that thoy
would not interfere with market wag
ons from the country, and make tiiis
known, and as soon ns t hat was done,
the farmers flocked in with their pro-
duce, which produced such a sudden
decline in prices.'
We would most respectfully suggest
to mir City Council to go and do like
wise. At least make tho effort and see
what can bo done.
The military authorities here will no
doubt do any and everything in their
power consistent with their duty to re-
liovo the citizens from their embarrass
ing condition they nro in, and would
be pleased to sco provisions' plenty and
at a roduced price, end will do all they
can to bring about such a slato of
things.

The operations of Gen. Foster for the
year, as hero detailed, show that the
duties of his office aro arduous; but we
are confident that no OAe csuld be
selected who would perform those du
ties with greater zeal, fidelity and ener
gy than tho preseii'. incumbent. A
brief resumo of (he subject matter of
the report may not be out of place,
Tho duties of Gen. Foster cal 1, £or op
erations of t^hroo kinds—tho regular
duties connected with the troops of the
troops of the State, under command of
Go.vernor Brown; the payment of
troops, and the settlement of Claims
duo for services rendered in the late
State urrny; the manufacturing and
issuing olothing to the destitute troops
from Georgia in the Confederate ser>
vice; and the purchase and issuing of
yarns to the destitute families of Goor-'
gia troops.
Gen. Foster says : “Ob tho 13th of
December, 1882, an ao,t was passed, cal
ling two regiments of infantry into the
service of the State, which ' devolved
upon this department the furnishing,
of them with Quartermaster’s -.tores.”
The total disbursements in this de
partment during the yoar are : for pur
chase of property-, $19 448 70 ; expen'
ditures, $60,148 S3 ; tranfors to Quar
termasters, $280,895 25.
During the year Gen. Foster has dis.
bursed in his office for payment of
troops, $18,558 59.
The sum of $1,889 13 was disbursed
for hospital stores.
By direction of Gov. Brown, the
Quartermaster General made a requi
sition on (ho Military Fund—agreeablo
to tho Legislative appropriation of $1,
500,000 to “procure and furnish cloth
ing, shoes, caps or hats, und blankets
for thC soldiers from Georgia”—for
$1,0001000, and proceeded at once to
make auch contracts for the purchase
of material as was possible. . He was.
as might be expected, seriously em
barrassed by the great scarcity of ma
terial ; and he acknowledges he cannot
now see where, in the Confederate
States, goods of certain kinds can he
obtuinod. “Cotton goods can bo ob
tained,” he remarks, "though with
diffioulty, but woolens onnnot be had.’,
He has purchased during the year
37,941 pounds of wool, which has boon
woven into cloth, at an average cost
pel potfiid of $1 90. Of hides, liu bus
bought during the year, 125,000 pound.,
which nhen tanned, will turn out about
90,000 pounds of (outlier, sufficient to
manufacture about 30,000 pairs of
shoes. The averogo price paid for the
hides was about $1 50 per - pound, for
tanning 40 cents per pound.
During the year lie established a
Clothing Bureau in Augusta, under the
control of Gen. G. W. Evans, and says :
“Through his energetic, faithful dis.

leaving on hand 4,473 pairs whioh will

A tabular statement shows that ho

100 lbs. of sole leather, 8,000 lbs. of .up

Owing to the groat scarcity of pro
curing tho neoessnry material with
which to. manufacture clothing and

ety of running the blockade by ex
porting cotton, and raising Rinds in
Europe by moans of cotton warrants,
issued upon aotton purchased by the
State, the cotton to be delivered at
some of tho ports of the Confed- j

Report of the State Road-
The report of tho business done by
this road during tho fiscal year ending
30th September last, exhibits an im.
mense profit to the road, and reflects
greatly on its management. Notwith,
standing the many obstacles thas were
in the way, the road was kept In run
ning order,.and the rolling 6took re
paired sufficiently to meet the demands
made on it. From the report of the
book keeper, it appears that the earn
ings of the road wero as follows:
From passengers, and transportation of
troops and baggage, $1,269,151 81
From freight* 878,151 75
From mail', 20,125 00
From miscellaneous, . 19,440 52
Making a total of ' $2,100,809 08 ’
Of this large amount the Confeder
ate Government paid into the Treasu !
ry the sum of $1,291,890 25, or more ,
than one half the entire gross earnings 1
of the road, A portion of this amount .
Was due the year previous, so that tlio |
road did not in foot, make the large j
profit from this year’s business that
has been reported.
The expenses for working arid main
taining the road have been $688,171 38,
leaving a nett profit of nearly one and
a half millions of dollars. What' tho
business of the road will bo tho com
ing year is at present merely a mutter
of o irgecture, as the income derived
from the transportation of passengers
and freight has greatly decreased in
ouiiBuqueucu of the advance of the en
emy, and their occupation'of Chatta
nooga, While our army remains at
Cliickamauga, tho road will be fully
employed trem-porting trorps and pro
visions, but should they Adviinoe into
Tennessee, the budnfss will naturally
decrease until the bridges are rebuilt
and the road repaired.
Under, the seporintendence of G. D.
Phillips, the uffuirs of the road have
been well and ably managed, and shows
that its control has been in good hands.
To E. B. Walker, Master of Transpor
tation, the Confederate army is indebt
ed for the prompt manner in which
troops huve been transported, and to
his untireing teal and activity the vgst
quantity of provisions used by the
army, is daily forwarded.
There are many neoessary improve
ments needed for tho road, but whioh
from inability to obtuin, will either
have to be done away with, or made in
an inferior stylo to wliioh it should be.
These drawbacks are owing to tbo csn>
tionuatin of tbe war, which prevents
necessaries from being imported.
Altogether, the report of the State
Road is liiyiij* satisfactory, and exhib
its the fact of competent men having
the control of it. It has put in the
State Treasury this year tho large sum
of $40,650,000. beside leaving in the
hands of the Treasurer for tho, $158,-
245,92.
There are many suggestions made
by the Superintendent of the road,
whioh, if carried out, will doubtless prove
highly benefioial, and we make no
doubt but that they will bo favorably
received.—At. Intel.

The Decline Is Geld n ScW York,
How it is Managed. .
The Richmond Examiner gives tho
following explanation of tho modus
operandi by tvhich Secretary Chase man
ages to keep down the price of gold in
New York. We have no doubt that
the Examiner’-S statement is correot!
Tbo relative value of gold and green,
bucks in New York has for a year and
lougor, been managed by the Govern-,
ment of ,the United States, through a
very simple piece ol machinery, first
invented and used in the days of Mr.
Polk and the Sub-Treasury. The Sec
retory of the Treasury planes §60,000,-
000 of gold in the hands of hiB agent
in New York with orders to sell free
ly whenever the prioo rises above 150.
Whenever gold rises to 160, therefore,
as it did tho other day, the Govern
ment pours a sudden flood on the mar
ket ; it descends rapidly: and specula
tors who have purchased at a high
price in expectation of seeing it high,
er, arc either ruined or taught a les
son which ' will prevent them from
meddling in such a matter for a long
time. Mr. Chase has performed this
feat before, during the last twelve
months, and has now again been suc
cessful. But in the meantime, the
vast mountain of paper currency is
piling, and tbe evil day must arrive
when noithor^fifty, nor a hundred, nor
a thousand millions will suffice to prop
it.
Whilo Chase thus postpones a finan
cial -crisis at the North, he is at the
same time adding to the causes which
must infallibly produce it, and make
it vast in extent and terrible in degree
in proportion as the causes were accu
mulated. Ho may keep off, but he
cannot prevent an explosion whioh wul
lay the whole financial system of his
country in ruins, and render it as im
possible to prosecute the war longer as
it is to lire without air. .
