aad to*'ratio proeaaulloB of tka Wtr far tka
Union. To this end, four eouraaa are luggai-
ted, ona or more of wkloh tonal ba takaa,
namely :
1. ImpDU Diracl Taut.—Wa object la tkla,
not maraly baeauea af tka depressed aonditian
of Indnatry and Dntintaa, but beoauaa tka
collection of atiek taiea would naaeaiarlly ba
raatrieted to the loyal Staler. It would be
Boat unjuat to aaddla upoa tkoaa who aland

maloieaanoe. The wanton dieturbera of tka
National paaaa akould, la nawlaa, ba axemp!'
ad front bearing their full ehnre of tka bur-
dona which their traaaan baa Impound on the
Nation. If tbia ba ao, than Direct Taxation
in tbla emergency la not to ba thought of.
From tbla, it will ba aeon that the fanatiaal
old ainnar inteada la subjugate ua, at what*
near coat ha and hla Government may plaaaa,
and than make ua pay It. Wa ware tha main
aupport of ika Government, in all lie wiokad
waata, axtravaganoe and oerraptiont. Nearly,
if not quite, two-thlrda of lta income waa
drawn from the proceeda of Southern labor
and produota. Thaaa greedy aooundrala need
tha Government—not aa a prataotion aad a
blaaaing to ovary taction alike; but aa< a
meant with whioh to tick our aubatanoa; not
for the legitimate pnrpoaea af a Government,
but a groat awindfmy machine, to gain an un
due advantage over tbalr neighbora, and make
diahonaat living from the boneet labora and
hard aarninga of othara.
Whan wa iaft tha oerrupt old ooncern, tbia
aonroe of diahonaat gain waa out off; hence
their rage and tbtir attempt to fofpe ua bqgk
into their hateful embraee. They have waged
war on ua upon tha moat extanalva tonic—al
moat rivaling tha Crimean campaign, and have
here annaunaad beforehand that they intend
to make ua foot tha billa.
They have another object in view, alao,
which ia clearly diaooverabla in tbia leader of
Qreeley’o, but a not diatinctly announced. It
ia to aubjugate ua, and plaoa upon our nacka
tha Iron beel of power ao Irmly that revolt
can never again be attempted, no matter what
may ba tha extent of their awindling and uaur-
patiene; to make ua aarfa or veatale, impoaing
upon na whatever burdena or oppreaalona they
may aea fit—“bawera of wood and drawere of
water” for them to the and of time—Ihia ia
their aim.
But here ia tha next proposition :
2. Confitcaiion.—Nothing would ba more
rightaaua than la take tha property of the reb
els, aa feat and ao far aa It may fall into the
bauda of the Federal autheritiea, aad eonvert
it to the uaea of tha Nation. They have wick
edly oaueed an enormoua loaa and waata of
property aa wall aa life; and tha loaa should
be made to fall, ao far aa praetioabte, on its
authors. If tba total cost and waata of this
rebellion should (aa it probably will) reach
One Tbousand Milliona of Dollars, tha larger
part of It should fall upon the rebels, and ea-
pecially on tha wealthy and aspiring, who,
knowing batter, have brought tbla groat trou
ble on tha oouulry. But, aa thin could not ba
relied on aa a present resouree, and may not
be daemed expedient, wa dismiss it from con
sideration hare.
In other words, they want money note.—
They can’t run dawn bora jut now aad aalaa
upon and oonfiscele tha plantations af Jeff.
Davia, Elliok Stephana, &o. Beauregard and
Johnston ara in the way. It will ba a good
while before they can naive from this source.
Something now to moat tbalr waata ia tha ary.
A bill kaa already boon intraduoed into the
Senate to oonlacata aueh property of traitors
as they ean lay their hands on. A good many
Southern men own property in the North. Lot
them saiae upon it aa soon aa they please.—
Tan of them own property In the 8onth or
hold our obligations, either State or individu
al, where ana Southern man owns property ia
tba North. Ceateealloa la a game that two
ean play at, and we ean play at II with pecu
liar advantage, just now. Let them oommenoe.

But there are several olkor mutton aad Hems
in Greeley's paper which we know will iater-
eet our readers.
His Washington correspondent, lu speaking
of tks erew of the privateer SavMoak, sayst
"They are pirates of a deeper hue than Haa-
lote or Malay,” and that every one akould bo
“properly tried and properly banged.” Hu
gels into a rage and cbldea and threatens Lin
coin for not hanging lham, as follows :
81111.1 shall bo abundantly content if they
are not art at liberty with oommlseioas to
servo in the Federal Navy. Wo dare not hang
a spy nor shoot a deserter! Gentlemen, per
mit mo to remind you that there la nut a Pres
idential election for nearly four years; and
further, let me indulge In aeoend sight, and
and hint to you that the boldest end trueet
man in thie war will he Ike one on whom the
Preeidentlal baptism will descend, either by
ballot or bullet—the printed paper ar the
painted bayonat. Mankind like obange, and
wo have feasted on imbecility to a surfeit ia
the last twelve years. Even if dsapotlam be
comes personal, if with it goes security for
something it may not only be endured but
courted.
If you will study the oharacter of your peo
ple you need not go astray in knowing that
they will certainly and this war, and that they
will end it only with tha subjugation of every
rebel. They will do it under your lead and
direction gladly and dutifully, or they will de
it under leaden whom the trouble of tbe hour
shall bring out and ordain with command
A special correspondent from the "Camp
near Vienna” gives an account of the fight at
that place, which ia decidadly rich- Ho says
Col. McCook's regiment, which jumped from
the cars end ran to the woods ao incontinently,
behaved with the greatest eooloosa and intre
pidity. He aaya the gallant Colonal " instant
ly sprang from the ears, "gathered hie men
around him,” "formed them in line of battle,'
and lei them into the protection of a "thicket,
apart from the range of the battery." He aaya,
our guna were then directed at the Colonel
and his men, whan the Colonel "quietly
marched them into another clump of treee, and
arrayed them boldly in line." And then they
were so overwhelmingly outnumbered I Our
readers will recollect that our forces were
abandoning tha place, being under orders to
go back to Fairfax Court House that night, and
that only a part of a regiment waa there. Col.
Maxcy Gregg, of Honlh Carolina, kad gone out
with 720 men, all told. They had planted
their batteries and awaited the coming of the
enemy until it waa given up, and they were
leaving. Only a small part of them remained
to scatter the frightened Hessians; but only
hear Grealy's correspondent:
Col. McCook's position was far from oom-
fortable. He saw that he waa prodigiously
outnumbered, and that if the enemy could
only keep their wits for a few minutes, ho
must inevitably be captured, or venture a
struggle al fearful odds. Ho had only about
180 men, while the rebel force exceeded 2,-
000. Their field pieces alone, dsoontiy man
aged, would have destroyed tbe iiltla Ohio
band in a twinkling. But the Ohio men nev
er flinched, and this was the reward of their
bravsry : The rebels, observing such a mors
handful bearing themselves undaunted before
their superior host, were al first mussed, and
then startled into the conviction that power
ful reinforcements mast be does at hand.—
How also, it seemed to them, oould this sprink
ling of troops hold their ground? It oould be
nothing but the confidence of overwhelming
strength that sustained them. And thie it
not oonjeoture. The information since re
ceived from Vienna proves It to have boon
their real belief. Disheartened by this be-
lief, they became irresolute, their fire tlaok-
saed, they wavered, and, io a few minutes,
broke up their lines and tlowly retired. At
the same time Col. MeCook, having scoured
his wounded, also withdrew, his 2,000 as
sailants makiog no attempt or motion to op
pose kis retreat.
Thus, by a manly defiance, our Ohio men
preserved themselves. The first indieasion
of woekness or tropidatlon wenld have un
done them. Bui now they ean proudly and
truly say that they stood before tea limes
their number of opponents, aad saw those
opponents, all men of South Carolina, glide
away from their sight, while they never for
aa instant sworvad.
That's good. When men will tell ilea, wo
like them well told. Cheek answers finely ia
some quarters. Brass, with tome, will pass
for gsnuins coin. We believe it was Major
Jonas who said that "ewmuA "had 'Maris'yuaf-
itiee; it would” make the commonest pine look
Jeat like 'bogany."
Another "special” from Baltimore justifies
the usurpations ol the army in Maryland. In
spooking ol such Union men es Crittenden and
Wiekliffe, he calls thorn traitors. Ho says:
Traitors are not always olad ia the rod shirt
of tka blood-stained warrior. Any man who
dreams of peace, bo ho North or South, until
the Rebels shell everywhere lay down their
arms, end the ringleaders suffer death, end
uatil the dominion of Ike United Btetes Gov
ernment ia tupremt over every foot of ground

ost dye, whether In or out of tha Government.
Bravo 1 He also complaint bitterly of tbe
(aeepaeity of the officers of tha araay, and
heaps mountains of abuse on tka authorities,
on account of It. Ho soys, "There dtoaone

riooof life—eftor which, that tort was to bo
abandoned as a military necessity, or if a dif
ferent oourso akould bo adopted, notion
should bo § iron; but that before tho arrival of
tho provision expedition, Fort Sumter was at
tacked aad fell. This he aaya was tks cause
and commencement of the war,
Every body ecquaioted with the history of
that affair, knows he lies.
Hs ealls our revolution a “giant iniurree
tion," aad says Virginia has allowed it to make
a oast In her borders.
He seys armed neutrality—the policy which
Keatuoky kae adopted, “is disunion comple
ted.’’ It builda an iospassibls wall bstwsen
tha fitata and tha Oenaral Government, and
takas all tha trouble out of tha hands of seces
sion. It is tkat whioh disunionists above all
other things desire; it give# them disunion
without a struggle of their own—recognising
no fidelity to the ooostitution, and no obligation
to maintain the Union.
He acknowledges tbs illegality of his increa
sing tba Army and Navy. Ha says ha ventur
ed on tha measure under a public demand, and
believes nothing has been done beyond the com
petency of Congress.
He acknowledges tha illegality of his sus
pension of tha privilege of habeas corpus; that
it was io violation of the law he was sworn to
support; but thinks it exousable because not
only some of the lows, but the whole of them
—the Constitution and the Union were viola
ted and overthrown in one third of the coun
try; and it became necessary for him to vio
late his oath in relation to the rights of Citi-
sens in order to maintain the Constitntion and
tha Union over nil, and to eback tha further
progress of disunion.
A candid confession is good for the soul.
He says his Attorney General will give a
written opinion on the legality of his acts.
He recommends that Congress give the legal
means for making the contest a short and deci
sive one. Ha thinks four hundred thousand
men, and four hundred millions of dollars will
do tha work, snd asks for this amount of men
and money.
He enters into a long argument on the right
of secession, and contends that it don't exist;
that tha U. 8. Government is owing mony ex
pended tor the benefit of soma of the seceded
States—Florida, Texts Ac —that if those States
can secede and repudiate their proper share of
such indebtedness, there is no stability in a
government, and no securities in national con
tracts and bonds. This ba says, in the face of
the fact, that our government sent commission
ers to Washington for tha purpose of conclud
ing a peaceable settlement with them—tak
ing a propor share of the assets of the govern
ment, and assuming a proper share of its lia
bilities. So reckless is ha in his disregard of
truth and tha moat preminent facta.
Ha says tha question has been asked: what
will ba dona with tha rebellious States after
they shall have been subjugated ? and says they
shall be governed according to tha constitu
tion.
Io the message he hsa sloshed all around,
vary muoh like a weak fool as ha is. We shall
publish tba document entire to-morrow, when
all onr readers can read, and form their own
conclusions about it.

Afler lieu* I a, to th* anneal I pee thee in
AUeata, on (beamain, of Ike 14, to the "Mrs
Joe Browa B>y»," and other ooupenlee ol the
lfith Regiment, note in camp at Wnlton'e
Spring, by Hi* Ixeelleuey tbe Gamruor, Oel
Andereon, Dr. Mean*, and other., I took the
onnforMnoon. Bub I enanot goon withonl
toetifjlng to the Doctor 1 , eloquence, for it
nude an Iwpreeelon that will noteoon be vhn-
iihed. He i. decided if the belt speaker I
ham hoard tine* tha Revolution commenced,
or elnee the Charleston Convention, If the
date, are not ejat n/meue. I hava often seen
tbe Dr.’s name mentioned •• one of tbe popu
lar epeekere of the land, but to g*t the fall
benefit of hie effort, one must meet him fee*
ta fern. HI* grey hair, the impress *f a lung
end active life ia tbe cease of hnmntity, sud
the earnest ness with which he engages, render
him a most effective orator. He mentioned
the great number of hie pupils who had tl-
readj gone forth to " light the battles of Geor
gin" on the fields of Virgioie, end posted o
glowing eulogy upon Col. Anderson—that day
elected to lead tbe “ tmtii,” and about to fol
low the call “to arms."
Tha Comet, with all ita brilliancy, waa at
that moment biasing before him, and ha did
not lose the occasion to hail the omen, (though
the phenomenon need to be looked upon as tbe
harbinger of ill,) and to mantle hi* heroes
with its glorious train. May the Doctor live
long after hia young warriors have returned
bringing with them an honorable and perpet
ual peace.
After the speeches, the soldiers, in their en
thusiasm, called for Mrs. Sassoon, (the gath
ering being at Washington Hall,) who, I sup
poae, had been feesting them with the luxuries
of her board. The Houston Brass Band, who,
by tbe way, are exoellent performers, cheered
the occasion with their melodies, and the
crowd dispersed for the night.
The trip to Macon was in good time; but
did you ever find a right comfortable position
for sleep in a car upon the five feet guage t I
never did—not with all tbe twisting and turn
Ings one ia obliged to make. Here ia an argu
meat for the broad guage, and one which all
ean appreciate; fora few inches more latitude,
or longitude rather, would give a deal of com
fort in these circumstances.
At Jonesboro', a party of young folks came
aboard, and you do not often hear such loud
and hearty cheer as they kept up the whole
way—perfectly ftoys-terous. I asked one of the
young men if it was a “wedding party?”
He said “No;” but added, that “a wedding
might come after it.” The H. B. B. was mak
ing the same trip, and at the principal villages
on the route, stepped forth and gave the sleep
ing dwellers a serenade, rendiDg the night air
with their brazen notes.
Arrive at Macon e little after seven, just in
good time for a good breakfast, whioh can be
had at the “Lanier House." This is, I believe,
the largest Hotel in tbe State of Georgia, and
will accommodate 1,000 persons when comple
ted. It is upon Mulberry, one of the broad
■treats, between Second and Third. Extensive
additions aro making at this time of some fifty
parlors and ohambers. The sleeping rooms
are large, well ventilated, and every way
adapted to the comfort and convenience of
the guests. Messrs. Logan A Mears are the
proprietors, than whom there ara gantlamen
of no greater affability. The servants are
numerous and attentive, and altogether, the
Lanier House may be considered a model
House.
There was a fire on Monday morning last,
believed to bo the work of incendiarism,
which consumed nearly a whole block on Cot
ton Avenue. The lota waa some $30,000, upon
which there is a partial insurance—partially
in Northern offices. It consisted chiefly of
provisions, an article which ought not to be
sacrificed at this time. R. R. Bearden (A Co ,)
one of the principal losers, had been absent
from tbe city for several weeks, but returned
within twenty-four hours after the fire, in time
to see the smoking ruins of bis establishment.
Macon ia decidedly n beautiful city. It ia
well laid out and well built ~the streets being
straight and broad—alternate widths of 130
and 180 feet. The pavements are wide, a
great deal of care having been had to cover
them with foliage, so grateful in these summer
months. It is not a little strange that individ
uals, even if corporation! will ~ot, do not taka
more pains to croton their homes with foliage*
No expense so trifling can possibly be as re
munerative as a little time and labor spent in
putting out shade trees. Men will spend thou-
sands of dollars for some little architectural
ornament whioh, after it is done, is no living
feature, snd requires constant care snd reno
vation, while the tree is an emblem of life,
and will develops and keep pace with the
progress of mind. Nature is the best mother,
and we will do well if we do not wander too
far from her nursery.
Macon is the fourth city in the State, and
has a population of some 10,000, I suppose.
It is the Central City, and being in the midst
of en excellent egrioulturel region, it seems
as though it would come to be a place of great
importance. The completion of the Macon
and Brunswiok Railroad it aa event in which
Meoon is moot deeply interested. Brunswiok
is acknowledged to be the beet harbor upon
the Southern coast, and this Road, tapping
the seaboard at that place, together with its
location through the heert ol the State, prom
ises to mexe it one of the principal arteries of
Southern oommerce. The north eastern pert
of the city ia a little broken, and ia occupied
by villas of much architectural beauty. Here
are located the Colleges and the Stole Asylum
for the Blind.

Oulous— Cabbage.
Mkbsbs. Editois : As all persons are fond
of Vegetables, I will give you briefly my plan
for cultivating Onions and Cabbages, ia whieb
I am always successful.
I never plant what is called tbe “ button'
seed onion. I prefer the silver-skin or white
onion, being tweeter and better adapted for
the oulinary department than the yellow or
red species. I proceed as follows: I par
obsse six or a dozen papers of the white or
silver skin onion seed, (I mean the small
black teed, sold by druggists and merchants,)
and these I sow in drills, about the first of
May. I previously prepare my bed by pul
verising tbe soil thoroughly, and filling the
trenches with wsll rotted stable manure, in
corporating the manure with the earth with
a small sprouting hoe. I sow the eeed thick,
oovering half inoh deep, tbe rows 18 inehes
apart. Tbe seed will come up in 8 to 10
days; the bed should be weeded, and the
space between the rows kept loose with the
hoe. In August or September, the 44 eete” or
inchoate onions are ready to be taken up.—
Half dozen papers of seed will give a half
bushel of sets for the next summer's crop. I
plant the seta tbe last of October. They will
come up aud stand six inches high during the
winter, and grow off in the spring rapidly
and vigorously. The soft should be planted
in rich, porous soli.
I never “ transplant” cabbages. My plan
is to prepare my beds, and plant 3 or 4 seed
in a hill, as I intend them to grow. When
they come up, I thin out to a stand, aa I do
oorn or ootton. Maay gardeners fail of thair
cabbage crop, from the fact that dry weather
prevents them from setting out their plants,
or endangers them when set oat. My plan
obviates these chances and risks, and always
ensures a stand and the growth of thn plant,
rain or no rain, at the proper time.
I have now in one bed in my garden 7 or 8
bushels of onions, some of them ae large aa a
tea-cup, grown as above, and I have at least
a bushel of eete nearly ready to bn taken up,
for tbe next year’s orop ; whilst my cabbage
look well and promise a bounteous yield. I
plant the green glazed seed ; the worms never
interfere with these.
