KIRBY of Chattooga. “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. Dahlonega, Ga , Oct. 3d, 1861. Messrs. Editors : The official vote of Lumpkin county is as follows : Governor.

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. i T. D. W. ♦ ♦ Items and News in Brier. The Devil —The editor of the Sequatchee Herald has a new “ devil”—an indispensable appendage in a printing office—whom he thus describes: Our new devil is a very eccentric man—he is about 31 years of age: Ims been a School Teacher, Clerk, Telegraph Oj erator, Black smith, Doctor, Lawyer, aud now he commen ces to learn the Printing Business. P. S.—Since writing the above, we learn ’ that our devil run as Brakesman on the Mem phis & Charleston Railroad—he stuck three days aud then retired with his usual dignity. ; We have been favored with a sketch of his financial experience during that eventful three days railroading. The question is, how long would it have taken him to get rich ? Read: Or. by 3 days work, at $1 per day $3.00 Dr. by 12 meals, at 40 cents each, 4.00 Reduction of Salaries.—The salary of the Mayor of Charleston, 8. C., has been reduced from $4,000 to $2,500, and all the other sala ries of the city offices have been proportiona bly reduced. General Buckner’s force at Munfordaville and Bowling Green is supposed to be between twelve and fifteen thousand, and is rapidly increasing. Our informant says that the whole State of Kentucky is in a blaze of excitement, and the State Rights men are rushing to the defense of the South from every quarter. This state ment is corroborated by our intelligence from other sources, and leads us, more than any thing else, to hope for 'ho speedy redemption . of this down-trodden people from the iron rule of tyranny.— Memphis Appeal. Among the prisoners that passed through Mobile on Saturday last, were some four or five who had previously lived in that city.— Two of them had been clerks in dry goods stores, one drove a hack for some time, and two others who had been waiters in one of the hotels.

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 tain, and those of the latter at Meadow Bluff', 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 ■ and his staff arrived bereon Friday night last, ; on bis way to Richmond. The I’oie, General Henningsen, was with him, an officer who has , seen a great deal of service. We rxpect the • next train from the West to bring us cews of ‘ interest. Reinforcements have been sent to ■ our forces, and if a general engagement can ’ be postponed till their arrival, we have no apprehensions as to the result.
