Review of the Report of the Secretary of
the Treasury—Confederate Bonds strict
Slock*. j . - V"
NUMBER FOUR.
Mr. Memminger affirms that the holders of
Confederate bonds and stocks will gain in the
improved valne of the currency by the o in
version into them of Treasury notes as much,
if not more than thoy can possibly lose by a
fall in the market value of their bonds and
stocks, from an oversupply of the latter.—
Whether the saving in the one case will equal
or exoeed the loss in the other will depend on
the degree of improvement in tho value of
the currency, compared with the extent of
the reduction in the valne of the bonds and
stocks from oversupply. In this statement,
however, Mr. Memminger does not include all
the conditions of the problem embraced in
his plan, whether the bondholders and stock
holders will gain or lose by the conversion of
notes into bonds and stocks. The question
is not simply whether the proprietors of
bonds and stocks would gain or lose by the
conversion if the contract did not undergo
modification as to the time of redemption.—
No one can entertain a doubt whatever of the
benefit of the fundholders of.every descrip
lion, counterbalancing any disadvantage from
a decline in the value of the securities they
may hold, embracing the whole period for
which they were originally designed to run.
But the proposed curtailment of this period
from ten and twenty to five years makes a
great difference in tho very dements of the
question. There cannot exist a donbt that
the holders of the eecurities will be wronged,
according to every dictate of good faith,
that they will be losers, according to the in
variable operation of the law of demand aod
supply, and that this will be an uncompensa
ted loss, in accordance with every rule of ra
tional probability, for it is not among the
reasonable chances of the money market that
there will be a riso, except for a temporary
period, in the rato of inieroat equal to eight
per cent.
But granting that there may be no loss, it
forms no jast plea, in justification, that the
holders of the bonds who may bo forced to
throw them on the market, will derive the ad
vantage of an improvement of the cuTrenoy.
That advantage is not peculiar to the bondhold
ers. It will be a common benefit, arising from
the tact that the ourrenoy mast improve in
value as soon as the war is ended.
This applies as well to the class of bond
holders who may. retain their bonds as to the
class who are compelled to sell, and can form
no valid plea for plaoing “gentle restraint’
on their inclinations. But as on Mr. Memimn-
ger’s plan the bonds of every kind are to be
paid off within five years, the only difference
between those who are forced to sell and those
who TOtaln their bonds, is that of time be
tween the first selling from compulsion and
the last being paid off by the government.
The benefit of dividends being paid in a cur
rency of enhanced value, as stated by Mr.
Memminger, can be of very short duration as
relates to the bonds retained, for in his plan
of redemption of the debt, he proposes that
the whole of the eight per cents, should be
paid off within the pesiod of five years. The
effect of this would be, of course, that if these
bonds have the average period to run of
fifteen years, the holders lose the difference
for ten yean between eight per cent:, which
the government has oontraoted to pay thorn,
and the rato of interest they are compelled
to accept, according to the ‘siale of the loan
market. They may be compelled to accept
of six per cent. . *
They may, by possibility, in a favorable
turn of the money market, derive 10 per cent,
in a supposable condition of that market, but
looking to permanent effects, it is next to a
certainty that they will loee from one to two
per eeut. in the rate of interest. If the
holder of a bond of $10,000, drawing eight
per oent., is forced to accept of a rate of in
terest ot only six per cent, for ten years,
instead of eight per cent, for fifteen years,
his aggregate lost would be $2,000, with
all the accumulations on this sum from com
pound interest. What would bo the difference
to him should there ‘he's direct reduction to
six per cent, in the rate of interest, instead
of a reduction in the tine lor which the bond
has to run T Would it be any consolation
that he had been deprived of his rights 6y
indirection f
Mr. Memminger speaks of the advantages of
his plan, should the guarantee of the States
take place. I. In the opportunity it wonld af-
ford of converting an S per cent, into a six per
cent, debt, and 2, in the premium which can be
realized on the Bale of the bonds. There can be
no doubt of the^overnment saving 2 per cent,
by the operation on the whole of its funded
debt, but there can be as little doubt ot the cor
respondent loss of the bond-holder*. What tbs
government gains they lose. In what manner
Mr. Memmutgerj makes out that 8 per cent,
bonds; issued by the Confederate Government
will lose some part of their market value irom
over supply—in other words, be sold at a dis
count— at tho aims time that the S percent,
bonds issued under the guarantee or the States
will bear a premium, is not made to appear. If
bonds with the endorsement of the States, car
rying interest at 6 per cent, can be made to be
worth u premium, while bonds issued by the
government, carrying 8 per cent, interest, suffer
ducouiu. there must be magical effect instate
e>edit, to overcome the disadvantage ot an over
t-upply in the murker.
The Political Situation.
i lie Ides ot .March approach, and atill no
recognition. The English government persist
ently adheres to' its original policy of professed
neutrality. The French ntler has recently re
peated bis resolution not to interfere, even by
mediatio’vunless co-operatively with the other
great maritime powers. He evidently prefeis
to watch and wait. He seems to be in petto
waiting for somethmg to turn up in the chapter
of accidents. Having postponed action so long
he appears to think that French interests may
afford to wait a little longer. The signs of an
approaching struggle which will be decisive be
tween the North and South were visible in the
political heavens. “a ^
At about the same period that intelligence of
tho result of that struggle'will reach Europe a
struggle of another kind will have taken place
in the English House of Commons. TUe.'issue'
will have been lundi. betwoeu the . P .tii-er- ton
ministry »nd h :r political, opponents. The
advent to power of the Derby party would lead
to co-operation in mediation, at least. The
Parliamentary struggle will determine whether
the outside pressure against the ministry irom
(he distress of the manufacturing interests, is
suffic-ent to counteract the Exeter Hall influence
and the popular sentiment against slavery.—
Should the Yankees lose the game in the last
desperate throw of the dice.in which theyaro
now engaged—should they be signally defeated
in the impending engagements East and West,
the office of European mediation would be easy,
and the European powers would run very little
hazard in deferring interlerflnce in any form
they miy prefer. Should the Yankees prove
successful in the Mississippi and even partially
on the Atlantic, they would prolong the war,
recruit their armies and replenish their finances.
In protracting the conflict it would p»otract
European tntcivention.
The part played by Louis Napoleon in the
political drama enacting in Spanish America is
inscrutable. He has made a large venture.—
He did not require a formidable fleet in the
Gulf of Mexico to exact indemnity for losses
from the Mexicans. That he could have obtain
ed by acting conjointly with England and Spain.
He cut loose from that alliance no doubt for
some ulterior object. The suspicions of Mr.
Benjamin would seem to have been unfounded
of designs on Texas. His purpose may be to
counteract the supposed design of the United
Stotes in extending their Southern border.-
Thia is not probable. A government which is
itself threatened with dismemberment, a man so
astute as Louis Napoleon must know is not in a
condition to execute schemes of territorial con
quer and aggrandisement.
A solution, not improbable is the desire to af
ford a theatre for French valor and military am
bition. The armies of France must have a field
to carry off the exuberance of its martial spirit
—a safety valve for the escape of its saperabun
dant energy. When France waB at peace with
ell Europe, Louis Philippe, whose general policy
was eminently pacific, found a theatre for
French valor and ambition in Northern Africa.
The elder Napoleon found such a sphere in
Egypt for the armies of the Republic after those
armies had vanquished the disciplined forces of
European Monarchies. Louis Napoleon follows
in these footsteps. If lie cannot subdue Mexico
he can keep the laurels of France from fading
and her arms from rusting. This will not ac
count, however, for a large French fleet in the
Gulf of Mexico. What the ulterior design is as
inscrutable as the character of the man who al
ways ’succeeds in masking his purposes from
friends as well as enemies.
This design may be to provoke a, quarrel
with the Lincoln Government, acting as he has
by the invasion ot Mexico, in contempt of the
Monroe doctrine; Looking to eventualities, he
may wish by encountering in conflict the iron
clads of Lincoln to test his own naval structures
of a similar character, know ing that at no dis
tant day the dread encounter with France’s an
cient enemy on the other side of the British
Channel will put his mettle to the proof.
C.
A Legislature Terrified hy a Mob
The Legislature of New York has been
in fear of a mob for a week past. As soon
as it was known that the Black Republicans
had bought Callicott, the Rough and
Readys of Brooklyn, his constituent;, went
to Albany in great force, and sought an in
terview with their recreant Representative.
He refused to meet them unless surrounded
by friends. The mob took possession of
tho galleries and floor of the Hall of Rep
resentatives, and the House was forced to
adjourn. The Senate called on the Gover
nor to protect the House, which he de
clined doing,- as-he had not been asked by
the House. .
The following is the notice of the matter
taken by the Tribune : '
There may be occult reasons for so many
adjournments of the Assembly without
even balloting for Speaker; but we are
among the large number who do not com
prehend them. It is a transparent fact
that the organization of the House has for
the past week been prevented by bullying
menaoes of violence and bloodshed. It
wa3 not because of any belief that it would
be fruitless that a ballot was forborne—on
the contrary, no ballot was bad on Friday
and none on Saturday last, precisely be
cause a minority of the members knew
that, if the House were to vote, an election
would be had, and were determined to pre
vent it at all hazards. That 65 metllbeis—
a quorum and clear majority of the whole
number chosen—should thus quail before
the threats of a conceded minority that, -if
such election were had, the Speaker chosen
should never take the chair—that the floor
<-hould bo reddened with his blood—is to
us a lamentable fact. We hold Such threats,
uttered on the floor, and backed by the
oaths, yells and rev61vers of the armed
ruffians who crowded the lobbies and galle
ries, as affording the amplest reason for
refusing to adjourn until a ballot had been
taken, and the result declared; and we
deprecate those repeated adjournments
without a ballot as encouragements to
rowdyism and buliyism which are very
likely to secure their ultimate triumph.
P. S. We notice since the foregoing re
marks and extracts, that Callicott has been
elected Speaker. Whether it has produced
a tragedy we do not know—hope to learn
in a day or two.

- Speech of Hon. B. II. Hill.
COEXISTED.
In repnblics (lie dinufecied and dissatisfied
generally level tho e shafts against aim. who
may for tho time be the chief Executive.—
Different conclusions, which arc always form
ed when free discussions are universal; pri
vate griefs, which must exist when ail cauuot
be gratified; personal jealousies, which will
arise when many aspire and few can be cho
sen, must de expected to do their usual share
of fault-finding in tho new Confederacy. Iu
addition to these sources of discord, insepar
able from all free government, there are oth
ers growing out of our anomalous form of
doubled government. In the nature of things
tho State governments will be jealous. * This
jealousy is often legitimate. In the old Union,
tho ro were many occasions when the South
ern States were justly resentful, and State
complaints became popular, to the Southern
mind. It is not strange, therefore, that the
earnest and the ambitions—indeed all the
classes first mentioned—should seek to invoho
the force of this popular feeling in their be
half, and in all their clamors against tbe Con
federate Government and the Confederate
-■Executive, in season and out of season, to
cry “State Rights.” Now, gentlemen, I will
give you frankly my opinion of our first Pres
ident—Mr. Dayis. In the old Union he and
I always thought differently and acted differ
ently and acted with differont political parties.
I was not prepossessed in his favor. He was
not originally my first choice for his pres nt
high position. Furthermore, sinco Bis elec
tion, if a single old political friend of mine,
in this State, bus received a civil commission
at his hands, I am to this hour not aware of
the faot.
These things are not calculated to win a fa
vorable judgment; but I experience a sense of
self respect when I realize as I do tho fact that
I am capable of lifting myself above all these
petty, but too often popular considerations, and
can judge the President by the merit of his abil
ity and patriotic motives, and by the principles
ol his administration. Thus judging him, 1
declare to you that if I had now to select a Chief
Magistrate for this trying crisis, I should feci it
a duty to select Jefferson Davis. I concede the
charge snceringly made that he is neither a
Cmsar, nor a Cromwell, nor a Napoleon. He is
nobler than either and greater than ail, because
he has respect unto the laws of the land, and
seeks to establish and not to dcsttoy constitu
tional government. In n.y opinion, his great
desire, to which all earthly desires are suoordi-
irate, is our final and complete success in this
revolution. Mr. Lincoln, with all the advan
tages of a long organized, powerful and well
supplied government; S'ate Executives, even in
the Confederate States, not having upon their
shoulders the conduct ot this gigantic war;
have pleaded necessity as an excuse for exer
cising ext aordinary powers, and have trampled
upon constitutional restrictions and individual
rights. But Mr. Davis, with all the disadvan
tages of a new and weak government to which
1 have alluded, a d with the fearful doom of the
chief of traitors full before him in case ot fail,
ure, has never yet found it necessary, to violate
the Constitution of his country, nor to trample
upon the rights ot the humblest citizen. Within
the boundaries ot law, by the provisions of leg
ist -live grant, and according to the high and
ancient privileges of Ai>glo-American freemen,
he has used the 'sword to the shame and dis
comfiture of a million of enemies in arms. By
a vigorous polity he has led a new-born nation
,rom weakness to power. By a firm but humane
adherence to the great principles of nations into
whose family, we had been refused admittance,
he has degraded the faithless excesses of our
adversary to universal notoriety and peipetual
infamy. And by the wisdom of an accomplish,
cd statesmar ship, and the pure rhetoric of an
elegant pen, he has secured admiration and es
teem tor h niselt and his countrymen in the
highest Cabinets and most refined Courts of the
civilized world. Even our enemies, usually so
bigoted and selfish, arc driven in shame to apply
every epithet of ridicule to the awkward blurt-
dertTot their President, and to admit the ability,
•i tact and the statesmanship of the “ rebel
A wise government, then, a gallant army, and
a liberal, cordial and united people, constitute
together tbe cause of our progress, the assu
rance ot onr success, and our title to admiration
and renown.
In a republic of free opinions, where the
minds of men are are as various as the leaves
on the trees, and as unrestrained as the zephyrs
that fan them, we have much cause to be grati
fied that so few issues have been made with the
administration, and that the issues made have
found so few advocates. On almost all ques
tions our people aTe unanimous. Politicians
have prepared a few issues. None, thus far,
have been, accepted or taken up by the |ieop!e.
Complaints are tew,'and some of them may be
traced to causes outside of the merits of the
question involved.
It has been;said that the Navy Department
has not done its duty. In my opinion, no por
tion of our peeple are more patriotic than tbe
navy, aud no portion of the government has
been ntanagod with more industry, under the
disadvantages to which it has been subjected,
than the naval. Much of the work and poliev
of this department is necessarily kept from the
public. The people, or rather some persons,
condemn because they do not know, and the
Secretary must submit in silence, because to
defend would be to expose and damage tbe pub
lic service. But it does seem to me the people
have seen enough to satisfy them—even to ex
cite their gratitude and pride.
When this revolution began, all said we could
expect nothing irom the navy. We had no
navy. We had neither time nor materials to
build one, nor means to purchase one. But
while the whole country was resting satis
fied that we could do but little on the water, the
navy was at work, and all at once the country
waa waked up, by the grandest naval achieve
ment in all history. Like Minerva, full grown
and full armed at her birth, the iron-clad Vir
ginia leaped to life, and in a day taught the
world a lesson in naval warfare, the wonder of
winch mythology had never imagined nor cen
turies of science dicovered. At once hundreds
of sea monsters, long terrible on the water,
were shown to be worthless. . Nautical science
is conning her rules anew, and to re-model, re
arrange, and build again condemned war ves
sels, engages the energies of every nation
which aspires to dominion on the seas. The
necessities which required the destruction of
such vessels as the Virginia and the Missif sippi
were great misfortunes to us; but the misfor
tunes were great in precise proportion as the
works were powerful.
If the Virginia and the Mississippi had not
been constructed we should not have known
how grent was their loss. Those who pro
duced them could not have been dull or idle.
Regrets for losses caused by the necessities of
our condition as a naval power, cannot justi
fy us in blaming those who have done so much
to improve that condition. The magnitude
of our losses is known only by the splendor
of our success. Impartial history will do
justice to this department of onr government
Cotemporaneous history is never impar
tial and rarely truthful. While, in this res
pect, fro have not done what all desired, yet
ail candid minds most confess we have dono
tar more than any, in the beginning anticipa
ted. ; ' .;'. i ’ ■-T--
The military appointments of the adminis
tration also, at one time, excited some dissat
isfaction. Lee, and Johnston, and Jackson,
and Longstreet, and the two Hills, and many
others have silenced these complaints. Nat
ural endowments are great helps in all the po
sitions of lite, but education improves all tal
ent?, including tbe military. Upon this idea
I presume the President acted in maxing ap
pointments, and in arrest majority of cases
results have vindicated the wisdom of the
rule.
For several months there was a zealous
clamor for an invasion of the North. The
administration was censured, in some quar
ters aorimonioosly censured, for not, at once,
invading the enemy’s territory. Wonder.-ul
campaigns were planned; armies vanquished,
States humbled, cities destroyed, and the en
emy-forced to sue for poece, by generals who
remained at home, and hy Statesmen who j
wrote much, thought little, and kuew less.—
Upon this subject, I confess to you I once felt
much anxiety. The appeal was plausible to
the passion and vengeance of our people, who
had so much cause for passion and revenge.
All the impulses of resentment were aroused,
and prudence and wiso counsel were in dan
ger of. being overwhelmed. By invasion,
under the disadvantages which surrounded
us, we should have been ruined speedily and
forever. On our own soil and in defense, we
have over been and will ever be invincible.—
Recent events have satisfied all of this truth
and on this snbjeot there is no-longer any
danger of divisions among our people.
I can now remember but one more issue up
on which an attempt h&3 been made to excite
an opposition to tho administration of tho
Government. The occasion for this attempt
is found in the acts of Congress known as
tho Conscription Laws. This disaffection has
proven to be limited in extent, and must soon
pass away, and, like the other attempts to
which I have alluded, will be remembered on
ly to be regretted. The relation whioh I bear
to this legislation, and to this State, in which
the greatest clamor (indeed, the only real
clamor) has been made against the legisla
tion, requires that I present my own views
upon the questions made.
Before entoring upon the argument, I
desire to rehearse some facts whioh will most
effectually expose the fallacy of some charges
whioh have been made and often repeated
against the President and tho Congress in re
lation ta tho necessities which produced the
resort to conscription to’ maintain our ar
mies.
It has been said that there was no occasion
for the passage of these laws; that the spirit
of volunteering was ample to keep up the
army ; that calls on the States would have
secured all the troops needed ; and that, if at
the time those laws were adopted the neces
sity did exist, that necessity was brought
about by the negligence and want of fore
sight in the Provisional Congress, and from
a desire ou the part of the government to
have an excuse to resort to oonscription.—
These charges are so utterly untrue—so ut
terly at variance with the very records of the
government, that I must presume the authors
were entirely ignorant ot tbe legislation of
Congress and the acts of the government. 1
am not willing to believe that men in position
would originate or repeat such grave charges
with a knowledge ot the facts. As I was the
humblest of the actors, it is becoming in me
to invite your attention to a simple recital of
history.
As early as the 28th day oi February, 1861,
an act was passed “to raise Provisional Forces
for the Confederate Stages of America, and for
other purposes," and by this act the President
was authorized to receive into ih'e Service of
this Government such forces in the service of
the States as may be tendered, or who may vol-
v iteer, by consent of their State, in such num
bers as he may require, fi>r -tny time not less
than twelve months, unless sooner discuarged."
The troops raised by the States and turned over
were to be received “according to the terms of
their enlistment."
On the 6th day of March, 1861, an act was
passed “to provide tor the Public. Defense," and
by the act the President wa3 “authorized to ask
tor and accept the services oi any number ot
volunteers, not exceeding one hundred thousand,
to serve for twelve months unless sooner dis
charged.” .
On the 8th of May an act xas passed “ to
raise an additional military force to serve dur
ing tbe war," and under this act the President
.utyTkuhorized to accept volunteers without limit,
aud for every arm of the service.
But very many complaints came up lit Con
gress that some of the State Governors were
exceedingly partial in the tender and organizes
tion of the regiments under former acts—that
they were using their powers to put forward
their friends and and promote themselves—and
that many who offered regiments and co mpanies
to’the Governors were either rejected or dis-
criminated against in some od ous manner, and
that arms, then scarce, were furnished only to
favorites. To remedy these complaints, and se
cure the services ot all these gallant men, Con
gress, on the 11th day of May, 1861, passed an
act "to make further provision for the Public
Defense," and authorized the President to re
ceive such volunteers as may tender themselves
and he may require, “ without the delay of a
format call upon the respective States, to serve
for such time as he may prescribe."
It was under one ol these last acts—the fit st
for the war—that the gallant'Bartow tendered
his company of Oglethorpes and was accepted.
1 believe his was the first company enlisted for
the war.
On the 8th of Augus, 1861, an act was passed
“further to provide lor the Public Defense," by
which the President was authorized to accept
four hundred thousand volunteers lor not less
than twelve months nor more than three years,
unless sooner dicharged.
There was a clamor from some quarters that
certain localities were not defended, aod that
many persons would enlist for the defense of
particular localities, who would dot volunteer in
the general service; and that many persons
would be useful on special service, who would
not enlist to be sent off to nnknown and discre
tionary service. Therefore, on the 21st of. Au
gust, 1861, an act was passed “to provide for
local defense and special service,” by which the
President was authorized “toaccept the services
of volunteers, of such kind and in such propor
tion as he may deem expedient, to serve for
such time as lie may prescribe, for the defense
ot^exposed places or localities, or such special ser
vice as he may deem expedient." Such forces
were to be mustered into the service of the Con
federate States," for snch local defense or
special service, the muster-roll setting forth
distinctly the services to be formed." Under
this act I affirm, with knowledge, that the Con
federate Government was always willing and de
sirous of aU necessary troops forall localdefense
of eaah State—to incur all the expenses of such
defense, and relieve the separate States of ait
necessity to incur such enormous expenses.
Again, on the 22d January, 1862, an act was
passed authorizing the President to accept vol
unteers “singly, as well as in companies, squad
rons, battalions, or regiments."
Thus, gentlemen and fellow-citizens, you
will perceive that Congress adopted every
conceivablo mode of getting volunteers. Even
tbe humors of States and ibo caprices oi in
dividuals were all consulted. If men wished
to come by tender through the States, there
was the law. If directly, by offer to the Pres
ident, there was the law. If as cavalry, artil
lery, infantry, or mixture of all, or even as
independent partisans, there was the law. If
they wished to volunteer for three, six, or
twelve months, for three years, for the war, or
for any other time, there was the law. If they
wished to enter the general service, or to be
enlisted to defend a particular State, or coun
ty, or city, or town, or farm, or fireside, there
was the law. If they wished to come in le
gions, or regiments, or battalions, or squad
rons, or companies, or even singly—all alone
and all ablaze with patriotism—there was the
law precisely fitting the case, and made to fit
the case. Cornel—it matters not how, it mat
ters not tTQra whore, it matters not with
whom, it matters not tor how long—come,
come and come quickly, and defend our in
vaded oonntry—was, and is. and has ever
been the earnest appeal- of tho government-
the President and the Congress—to all our
people! Will any con.plaining, far-seeing
assailant toll me what other rorm of tender
or acceptance Congress citild kavo adopted
to enoonrago men to volunteer ?
Under these various actB of Congress we
raised in the aggregate about four hundred
regime .its; very fow if any, however, filled
to tk r ximura number. We could raise no
more without other and- extraordinary means.
It is a glorious tribute to the patriotism of
our people that wo raised so many and so
speedily'by voluntary' enlistment. It was
certainly sufficient for any other war of mod
ern times, if not for any age of the world,
but our enemy was growing stronger. A mil
lion, full of rage and hate, were flying to
arms to enslave ns. Our own ranks began to
grow thin. Skeleton regiments were seen in
every direction, and about half of them were
Boon to disband by reason cf the expiration
of their term of service.
