Wo have learned that it.is n fact—as
tounding and appalitig as it is—that
thcro are contraats in IJIoyd oounty for
tho manufacture of a large quantity of
whiskoy for tho Government for medi
cal purposes—rumor says from 50,000
to 200,000 gallons—but it is enough to
know that these contracts exist, and
that there are men preparing to fill
them. Gruoious heavens! can they be
ment that can look upon the drafts that
are made upon the country for corn by
(he army, the hospitals and the State
troops quartered upon us, and know
that it will take every grain, and more
too, for food‘for man and beast, and
yet bo willing to add to the genera 1
suffering tlliil lluist ensue, by worse
thanwasting tho corn. And all for the
sake of filthy lucre, for its tomfoolery
to talk about bite necessities of the
hospitals abd the army for whiskey—
every body knows how the whiskoy goes.
And besides the Government can vory
easily have all that is really necessary
tnado in those sections where they have
less use for corn than among us.
What will tho poor and tho soldier’s
families do? (Many farmers have had
more corn impressed, already than
they oat> well spare. ’ Other causes wil|
rriakc corn scarce and. high enough, in
all all conscience, and this will make
it Worse, for a planter informed us that
he was offered $4, (tivico the Gbvcrn-
ment price) for lib corn, to make whis
key of, blit patriotically refused to sell
at any price for that purpose. And we
doubt the patriotism of any farmer
who will sell corn for the purpose of
species of property. T|»e trouble,ip (his
modo of getting supplies, he said, was
its gross injustice, making the people in
the immediate vicinity - of our armies,
those who sutler most in every other
way, furnish largely over a just propor
tion ot the provisions also,

Milleboevillk, Cm. Nov. 10th, 1803,
Dear LJbtnUEit:—Iho events of yes
terday, in the Legislature, Were not of
a character to excite peculiar interest.
MF. Hester,'of Elbert, wks displaced by
Mr. Stark, the contestant for his seat,
Many bills—som of them quite im
portant ones—kerb read the sebond
time, and wherein it seemed proper,'
they wore referred the Standing Com
mittees, which are not yot announced/
but probably will bo this morning. '
By fui 1 tbc most exciting ocourronc'o
of the day, was tho spoeoh.ef General
Toombs last night. The Representa
tive Hall wasCiTOwded to hear him and
for about' an hfiiir, he addressed tile
audience in'liis most oarnest and cm
phntic manner. Ufa. fcbiihnenced by
alluding to the stupendous struggle in
which our young Republic is now en-
gaged. Ho referred to the fact of its
cOmparativelJ small begiktiifig, bow it
had gone on, increaiing in extent and
power, in aotivity and bitterness of
feeling, until new not only the physical
SWbdfith of every man' in the Confede
rate States, and ill the weal til. but all
the moral powor of every individual,
and all the virtue, and all the patriot
ism, wero demanded ih order to b'Hbg
us to a successful conclusion of this
terrible struggle. He said he appeared
before thorn to speak the truth; it
would bo moro agreeable td sp'tfak plea
sant things, but ilia times demand that
he should Speak tthe things. He said
our country is in a deplorable condition
but it is neither the part of wisdom or
patriotism, to shut our eyes to tho pain'
ful trilth, but we ought rather to learn
tho worst and provide for »t.
Ho then took up some of what lie
lie regards as the great errors oUr goy
efh'theht has committed in the prosecu
tion of this war. The Impressment
Law first 'fell'under the withering blows
of Ills gigantic eloquorffcft. 1 its said
that Government hiid the undoubted
power and right to impress private pro*
party in emergencies of tsntnistakeabie
military necessity, but ho asserted in
the most empHiitiri' manner, that it had
not the right td make impressments
the rule of notion in the procurement
of government supplies. Ho claimed
that it was both wrong, and bad polioy,
for government to attempt to' Establish
tho priced of any articles in the mar.
ket. He said by so doing you discour
age tho. prime elements of buocsm, it
may be, and lay. (be btfrdens of goV
ernmont, most unjustly and unequally
upon the shoulders of a few, and these
too the very ones Upon who'(io govern*
ment must depsttd for the means of
supporting the vast armies now in the
field. He illustrated the injustice of
this made in' this Wise:—suppose a far
mer is compelled to ftiftish his wheat
crop to tho government at four dollars
a bushel when he could readily sell the
same in open market for - eight, this
man is th'ifs virtually compelled to pa'
Ho alleged that every consideration
Urges (hat tho buydons of government
should rest equally upon all and this
only could bo done when it was sup,
ported'by a Uniform and equitable sy -
tern of'taxation. Then, tho IlaWy'dt
and the Dootor, tile Merchant and
Manufacturer, the Banker and Specu
lator could nil share equally with the
farmer it\ the support of our brave ar
mies. He said let the government go
hi to open market and in full competition
with individuals for all its sitppjlco. If
this Vtibi up tho prices so that a given
article would cost ten dollars that for
merly cost but owe, then lot the tax bo
for ten dollars instead of one as before
and thus by direct aud heavy taxation
keep down what fttitild otherwise be
come a redundant currency. He allu
ded to tho fact that Franco made an
utter failure in her effort to establish
Mexican prices in 1704 although her
Statutes were enforcod with tub dcKlti
penalty fbi- disobedience, tie asserted
the utter impossibility of controlling
prices current and the laws of trade by
Legislation. He denied the' right of
government to presoribe the kind or
extent of’ crops a planter may cultivate.
Ho asserted that the value of the cur
rency of a country was not increased
by increasing its amount, and that
