“On to Washington.”
Some newspapers in the Confederate States
ore raising this foolish cry, when they don’t
understand a syllable of its import, or the
consequences of heeding it. Pre-eminent
among all these is the Richmond “ Exami
ner,” which has indulged it with such vehe
mence that it is justly entitled to be called
the “Tribune of the South ”
Our readers recollect that old Greeley, in
his “ Trinune,” raised the cry of “On to
Richmond” with such vociferous pertinacity,
that he actually lashed the “Grand Army”
into a forward movement before it was ready
—as much so as ever a jaded donkey was
forced into a trot by the vigorous applica
tion of a cowhide. Old Scott confessed that
he gave the order before he was ready ; that
he was the greatest coward in the world for
fearing and heeding that senseless outcry for
an advance ; and that the President ought to
dismiss him. This was the confession of him
who is accounted the greatest General in the
world, after he saw the disastrous conse
quences of yielding his own judgment to the
demands of ignorant, clamorous newspaper
editors.
The grand rout of that Grand Army should
be a warning to those who are raising a pop
ular clamor for an advance on Washington.—
If our military and civil leaders are to be
trusted—if they are capable and true—they
will attend to Ibis matter in due time. If
they are untrue and incapable, it will not
make the matter any better to rush the army
into action when no preparation has been
made for it. This would be “certain, inevi
table and disgraceful defeat,” as well as a
complete sacrifice of all we have at stake.
The “Examiner” seems to have undertaken
in the Confederate States, the office that Ho
race Greely and his Tribune filled in the
baboon Government, before the battle of Ma
nassas Plains.
Happily, however, we know that Jeff. Da
vis, Aleck Stephens, Jo. Johnston and Beau
regard will not heed such senseless advice.
They know what is best for us, while reckless
fiery newspaper editors do not. On this
score we have no uneasiness. Such editors
may bray on. The only thing we regret
about the matter is, that these editors have
readers who are not posted on such matters,
who will be rendered impatient, believing our
government is not discharging its whole duty.
This is to be regretted. Such editors never
make the world wiser or better. They are
common disturbers of the peace, to say the
least that can be said of them.
Thia evil, however, will be short-lived.—
Time will soon put it all right, and show the
people the extreme .folly of such counsel and
the recklessness of those who give it.
We have the utmost confidence in our ex
ecutive aud military leaders—certain it is,
that if they are either incompetent or un
faithful, we have no men that are or would be
competent and true. We can get none bet
ter. If they cannot take us successfully
through this revolution, we are undone, and
will never get through it. We believe they
are fully equal to the occasion in every re
spect: that they know better than every ed
itor on earth whether to advance on Wash
ington or not, and just when to do it, and
when not to do it.
Do these reckless editors and newspaper
correspondents want to rush in aud take
Washington before it can be held t Shall the
army go forward and occupy a point where
it will be exposed to attack on all sides, and
gel succor from none ? Suppose Beauregard
had followed tip his victory and taken Wash
ington on the --d of July. The Potomac was
open, by which Lincoln's whole Navy, with
100.000 soldiers and any amount of supplies,
could have come upon and attacked our for
ces in the rear, while the same number, or
twice the number, could have come upon
them by the Bediimoie and Ohio Railroad.
Davis and Beeurtgard understood this mat
ter. A fire only in front is preferable to one
in front and rear too. With the Potomac ef
fectually closed, Washington can be success
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
fully taken and then held. With it open, we
are not so sure. If the army were in Wash
ington without the Potomac closed, we would
not only be exposed, to a “fire in the rear,”
but our supplies would be cut off, and we
would soon be in the condition of Mulligan,
at Lexington.
Let this insane cry be stopped.
Tariff and Free Trade.
LETTER FROM HON. JOHN A. JONES, OF POLK.
Farrie Knowe, Oct. 3, 1861.
Messrs. Editors: I presume your columns
will be less burthened than heretofore with
the effusion of partizan writers. I will, in
compliance with the request made some time
ago, submit the reasons conclusive to my mind,
why I prefer the system of direct taxation
to the tariff system of revenue for the support
of the Government of the Confederate Stales.
I will not amplify, dialate or enlarge on the
subject; but leave that for you or others. I
will deal in simple propositions with direct
proof and plain illustrations.
I propose to show that the tariff system is
grossly unjust between man and man; that it
compels the poor man to pay one hundred
times more, in proportion to his means and the
quantum of protection which he receives from
the Government, than the rich man.
I propose to show that it raises the price of
goods ; that it depreciates the price of the plan
ter’s produce; that it costs two dollars to put
one in the treasury; that it corrupts the Gov
ernment, creates jealousies and heart-burn
ings between the different sections and differ
ent interests, and must and will produce the
disruption and dissolution of the Confederate
States, as it has caused the dissolution of the
United States; because no one section will
consent to become the tributary vassals of an
other section.
First, then; the tariff system compels the
poor citizen to pay more than his just propor
tion to the support of the Government. I put
the tariff at 25 per cent.; the principal is the
same at all amounts.
A man worth SI,OOO, with an average fami
ly, will spend about SIOO dollars in dutiable
articles. His tax on these is $25, or $2 50
on the SIOO. The man worth $10,000,000 will
not spend more than SIO,OOO on dutiable ar
ticles. His tax will be $2,500, or 2J cents on
the sloo—just the one-hundredth part of the
tax of the poor man.
This is not the strongest light in which the
proposition can be placed. There is a large
class, consisting of overseers, juorneymen me
chanics, school-teachers,clerks in offices, young
lawyers and doctors, with no property, who,
as a class, must, under the tariff, average $25
tax, and who under a system of direct taxes,
will pay nothing.
I now proceed to shew that the tariff raises
the price of goods. We will take goods cost
ing, at the port of delivery, sloo—first with
out any tariff, and then with a tariff of 25 per
cent:
NO TARIFF.
Goods cost importer SIOO
Importers profits 15 p cent 15
115
Jobbers profits 15 "p cent 17 25
132 25
Retailers profits 30 "(4 cent 39 67
Cost without tariff’ sl7l 92
WITH TARIFF.
Goods-cost importers SIOO
Tariff. 25
125
Importer profits 15 cent 18 75
143 75
Jobbers profits 15 f) cent 21 56J
165 311
Retailers profits 30 '{•< cent 50 79
Cost with tariff $216 10
Cost without the tariff 171 92
Difference in favor of free trade..s 44 18
Now, I expect the poor man feels this addi
tional s4l 18-100 when he goes to settle his
account, although he does not know the tariff
caused it. The tariff also depresses the price
his produce.
There are two classes of purchasers of cot
ton, the foreign and the|domestic manufacturer.
Both come into our market to buy our cotton,
and both bring merchandize to pay for it—
The Government compels the foreigner to pay
25 per cent, on his cargo, for the privilege of
selling his goods to raise money to buy cotton,
and he gives 12 cents for your cotton, this
makes the cotton cost him 15 cents, and if the
Government will let him alone, he will as free
ly give the planter 15 as he will give the Gov
ernment three and the planter 12. The home
buyer will have to do the same. Here is a
loss to each planter of sls on each bag, and I
think when the poor man who makes 3 bags
adds $ 15 loss on cotton to $ t 4 IS loss on goods,
he feels the SS9 18 loss, although ho does not
know the tariff caused it.
Query: Can the Representative who votes
for a tariff, and thus betrays his confidence,
and sacrifices his interest to gain the support
of the rich, be an honest man ?
Very respectfully,
JOHN A. JONES.

ORDERS COME GETTING READY TO
MARCH, *C.
Camp Davis, Lynchburg, Virginia, 1 1
September 29, 1861. J !
Dear Confederacy: The order has come for
us to be ready, at a moment’s notice, to leave
for Gen. Floyd’s Division in the North-
West of Virginia. The longer we delay, the
greater will be the danger of our friends in
that dreary land of mountains, ice and snow,
for the news has reached us that they are now
fighting desperately against large odds, as
Rosencra.ns has f irmed a junction with Cox,
and has, therefore about 14 000 men, Gen. Lee
having only four or five thousand. The Reg
iment of Mississippians that were encamped
here under Col. Russell have joined General
Floyd, also Phillip's Legion, thereby restoring
confidence to all. We hear that Floyd is
strongly fortified, and that the fight has been
progressing for two days. Our men are getting
ready fast, and ere this reaches you, we shall
be near our friends that have s> gallantly lead
in the fights, and helped to add lustre to the
Confederate banner. We will share their per
ils, and, if needs be, die side by side in defence
of the dear ones at home.
The weather is getting quite cool here, und
yesterday the cold northern blast swept over
? these hills, chilling the blood, and nothing was
left us but to shiver and shiver, and wrap our
; single blanket around us. How we are to
stand it we know not, unless our men get more
covering, for the majority lave but one blan
ket, and those nearly worn out; but we have
i not lost confidence in the promises of our
> friends at home yet, and consequently we are
s all cheerful. North-Western Virginia is a
I cold, dreary country, and the principal pro
ductions are cakes of ice and flakes of sn«w,
and these are in such abundance that the soil
> need not be cultivated, nature forestalling us,
■ and yielding these delicious beverages (in sum
'• mer' in profusion. But
> “ On to the field of glory,”
is our song, and as we think of home, and
friends, and all the dear associations thatclus-
> ter around them, we are anxious to reach the
• field, drive back the foe, and return to enjoy
1 once more these blessings. How many' of us
will ever see your familiar faces again is for
i the future to decide. Suffice it, those that do,
i will not be hidden with shame, but open for
inspection.
- We have a great many sick men now, as
> this is the sickly season. We have lost two
mon this last week. Their remains have been
; sent home.
, Excuse this short letter, for we are all busy
> getting ready to go. I will post you as to our
, address when we reach our destination. It is
in the vicinity of Lewisburg, Virgina.

From the Memphis Appeal, Oct. 3rd.
On ’Change in Memphis.
The attendance on ’Change yesterday was
very large, and a considerable degree of ac
tivity was manifested. It is an inspiring
acene to witness the. congregation of mer
chants, giving and receiving infomation, and
transacting, in a few minutes, business that,
out of the chamber, would consume hours.—
The sight, is a gratifying one when compared
with the system but lately prevailing, when
each merchant did his business secluded in
his office, and often in the dark as to the la
test intelligence, or else plodding in rain and
sun,thro’ dust or mire,to find those with whom
he had business to transact. Now the mer
chant, that is the enterprising, spirited, intel
ligent merchant, walks to the- room of the
Chamber of Commerce at the hour of ’Change;
he there meets buyers and sellers,plantersfrom
the country, merchants from other cities, and
captain aud clerks from pres
to ' his business is dispatched within the hour
of ’Change, and he returns to his counting
room “posted” as to what is going on in the
business world. The merchant who does not
attend ’Change stands a chance of being left
stranded on the shore among expiring fish and
retrograding crabs, while his competitors in
business are sailing over the sea of prosperi
ty, bound for port Fortune.
The rise in flour in New Orleans acted up
on rates here, causing an active demand, and
advance of from 30 to 50 cents a barrel.
Wheat was in limited supply, and advanced
5 cents.
Walt & Johnston had samples of New Or
leans sugar on the table. They are import
ing that article and molasses from Louisiana,
and will have samples on ’Change regularly
each day.
“ L’Abeille,” of New Orleans, has an ex
tract from the “ Planter’s Banner,” which
states that calculations on the sugar crop of
1801, lead to the expectation, that, if no
storm or disaster occur, the crop wi.l be 400,-
OOOhhds., if circumstances are favorable per
haps 500,000. The West, in prosperous times,
consumes 300,000 hbds., of Louisiana sugar;
the blockade has cut off that market, Kentucky
and Missouri may be consumers to some ex
tent, but the blockaded States will take the
greatest portion. Texas can only be supplied
along the Red river route. The blockade will
compel the Confederate States to use Louisi
ana sugar, and when they have become ac
customed to it, like the western people, they
will want no other. The sugar planter will
gain in the South as he loses in the West.—
The only danger is over production and a sup
ply beyond the demand. In future planters
will turn their attention to growing cotton and
rice in proportion as the price of sugar falls
by excess of production. The gist of these
remarks to us, is that the supply of sugar is
likely to be large; it follows that every ave
nue of consumption will be eagerly sought;
we may therefore look for a large market, for
sugar in Memphis, and the Louisiana sugar
planter will soon discover that it is his inter
est to send his hogsheads to Memphis for sale,
rather than submit to the heavy change and
unnecessary expense of carriage to the gorg
ed and diminished market of New Orleans.
The New Orleans “ Picayune” says they
have seen a dispatch from Memphis to a mer
chant in that city, asking whether there was
any danger of produce shipped to that place
being seized by the authorities. The “Pica
yune” assures Memphis that she may ship
away without danger. The tone of feeling on
’Change and the uninterrupted regularity of
our shipments, to the extent our receipts will
allow, are not indicative of serious alarm.
Approbation was warmly expressed of the
course of Gov. Moore, ot Louisiana, in pro
hibiting railroads and steamboats from bring
ing cotton into that city ; and the opinion was
expressed that if persuasive appeals prove
ineffectual to stop receipts here, a similar
course must be resorted to. In New Orleans
niuety-threeinfiuential cot.ou factors forward
ed a communication to the Governor, in which
they stated that at great sacrifice to themsel
ves they had advised planters not to ecad their
crops to the city. Notwithstanding this, per
sons in N. Orleans had received consignments
of cotton, and the evil was increasing The
consequence would be an accumulation ot
stock which, from the known inefficiency of
the blockade, would find its way to foreign
ports, thus contributing to maintain the neu
trality of Europe—a neutrality by which the
Lincolnites obtain such weapons as they stand
in need of. The cotton factors, therefore,
called upon the Governor to prevent the ship
ment of cotton to New Orleans. The Gov
ernor, in reply, issued his proclamation to all
steamboats, giviug notice that after the tenth
of October no cotton must be brought to New
Orleans within the lines embracing that section
of country between the fortifications above
Carrolton and those below the city, and ex
tending back to the lake. Steamboats enter
ing those limits with cotton aboard, whether
much or little will have an armed force put
aboard and sent beyond the above lines. The
railroad companies have received a similar
notice.
Some attention was excited by a revelation
in the last week’s statement of the New Or
leans banks. The statement shows a decrease
in one week of specie to the amount of $ 14G,-
099. It appears that in former statements
treasury notes had been reported as specie,
along with the gold and silver. The recent
change in financial matters has necessitated a
confession of the fact. The decrease is there
fore more apparent than real, for on the pre
vious week the banks had not in their vaults
the amount of gold and silver they reported.

Our Forces in the West.— At last accounts
from the forces of Generals Wise and Floyd,
the forces of the former were on Sewell Moun

in Greenbr er county, about 15 miles apart.
The enemy, in great force, were threatening
the forces of Gen. Wise, and Gen. Floyd had
sent reinforcements to them. Gen. Lee was
there to superintend the forces of both.—
There had been some skirmishing on Sewell
Mountain for '.everal days, and some on both
sides had been killed. A general engage
ment was anticipated, and probably has taken
place before this time.
Gen. Wise has bein recalled from the West,
and ordered to report at Richmond. It is
said that he refused to obey the order of his
superior officer, Gen. Floyd, who commanded
him to retreat to Meadow Bluff. Gen. Wise
