■ Tbe War Debt of the
number six.
Mr Memminger recommends tto payment of
the Confederate War debt by instalments every
six months after the probable lamination of the
war. instead of tbe formation af a sinking fund,
on the plan provided in the one hundred million
8 per cent loan, by raising a sum, for that par-
pose, by usstion. He is of op.num tb.t the
machinery of a sinking fund by tbt. plm. can to
dispensed with, thus securing the benefit!rol
such a fund without its disadvantages. We
have something to say on this part of the
scheme in its proper place. We *nnex that por
tion of his Report which contains his sugges
tions on this head.
“The act of Congress of the 12th April, lb62,
departed from this plan, and made the next issue
of bonds payable in 30 years, subject to redemp
tion at any time after tbe expiration of ten years.
The whole subject neceaaarily comes upfor con^
sideration in adjusting the tax now to be laid by
C tK million loan carries an intere,tof8 per
cent; it is payable in ten years, but may beto
anr time after the 1st ueptetnoer,
1866. The one hundred million loan unalso> an
8 percent loan, and is made payable in instal
ments which tail due every nix wombinI 18
vears from 1st January, 1864. The Drat instal
ment of principal of
January, 1864 ; the second of •1,340.200 is pay
able lsi y July, 1864. The third loan is under the
act of April, 1862: it is also an 8 per cent, pay^
able as above stated, at the pleasure of the
Government at from 10 to 30 years.
If Congrese should approve the application of the
planol fhe one hundred million loanwt hew hole
debt of the Government, then a change ahould
i e made in the loan of April, 1862. No bonds
have yet oeen issued under *!tat*ct,andthe
matter is yet within the control of Congress.—
A modification of the law must be made at any
rate to meet the reduction of interest required
on notes issued subsequent to Ut December-—
If the scheme of finance bemnafter proposed
in relation to the debt guaranteed by the States
shall find favor with Congress, ‘ further modi
fication of the loan of 12th April, 1862,> ■bould
be made by reducing the period for redemption
Irom ten years to five. This change will unable

" Special Vlekiborg Correspondence.
Vicxbbuuo, Feb’y. 3,1863.
After tbe repulse of the enemy at Vicksburg,
the 28th and 29th of December, the lines were
qtuet, and the river clear of his gunboats, until
the 23rd ultimo. About t oou of that day an
iron-clad ram came in sight of the city, and
continued its approach until one of our batteries
ponitsofiercelytbat nearerapproachwas
eemed inexpedient, it anchored, however, at
, view af the city. In u short
time transports in considerable numbers came
down, and landed jpst in tbe rear of the iron-
c *ad, which served as a picket for them.
For several hours, it was apprehended, an at-

hundred millions of bonds on the market an
nually for five years. The answer must be
that bat a small proportion of the w hole
amount will be sold under the infiuenoe of
such a preference.
The conclusion from this view is that this
portion of Mr.. Memminger’s plan must prove
a failure as the inevitable result of his for
cing system of finance. Hi* error arises
from supposing that legislation can control
the great law of demand and supply, so that
in spite of an/iverstooked bond market pub
lic securities will bring above their par or
face-value, in defiance of over-supply. But
bis fundamental mistake lies beyond and be
hind this. It is in his imagining that he can
pay off a heavy war debt in n comparatively
short period of lime, after the waste and
havoo of a destructive war, without inordi
nately burthening the people and impairing
the sources of wealth. We shall not exam
ine Mr. Memminger’s mode of liquidating
the Confederate war debt, without the use of
e sinking fund. C.
Death of the Hots. H. L. Pinkney of
Charleston.
This distinguished man died in Charleston on
the 3d inst., in the 69th year of his age. Mr.
P inkney had been in public life from hie 21st
year, having served in Congress, in the State
Legislature, and other public situations, with
scarcely any Interval. He wak a fluent, if not
powerful speaker, and effective writer, and of
irreproachable eharacter.
The Charleston Marcary, in noticing the
death of Mr. Pinkney, is in error in stating that
he was the founder of that paper. Mr. Edmund
Morford waa the founder of the Mercury. The
writer of this notice cannot be mistaken on thia
fact, for he distinctly recollects a conversation
with Mr- Morford on the subject when about-to
associate Mr. Pinkney with him in the Proprie
torship of that journal.
a breach of eontraet as was ever suggested
for tbe aanetion of a legislative body. Thia
part of the scheme is combined with the of
fer of a guarantee by the States. The form
of -the guarantee is of some importance
it is to.be one of simple indorsement, it will
be of some value. If it consists in an issue
of bonds by the States, it, of oourae, would
be of far higher value, as bring a loan of
credit. In the form simply of indorsement
the issue of fhe bonds wonld necessarily be
by tbe Confederate Government The recom
mendation of Mr. Memminger to Congress
does not specify any form of guarantee, ho
only suggest, the passing of an act giving
nniformity to the action of the States, as
there is mneh diversity of view on the sub
ject. Let us then suppose the guarantee per
fected, in the form of simple indorsement, as
that whieh will most probably be adopted,
and.that fbe several States, either joint
ly or severally, endorse six per eent. bonds to
the amount of $500,000,000; the sum sug
gested by Mr. Memminger, in amounts of
$100,000,000 annually, the proceeds of the
sales of these bonds to be applied to the pay
ment of the eight per cent, bonds. It is ad
mitted by Mr. Memminger that the eight per
cent bonds when offered for sale, from the ne
cessities of the holders, will fall in value, bnt
he makes a distinction between the 6 and 8 per
eent. bonds whieh cannot hold good to the
extent be supposes. While admitti ng that
the eight per cent, bonds will fall to a dis
count, he imagines that the six per cent, bonds
will bear a premium. Let ns examine this
statement. Mr. Memminger’s plan depends
for its success on several conditions; 1st, on
the /oread conversion by tho 1st of July of
$860,000,000 of Confederate notes into an
equal amount of eight per cent. Confederate
bonds, and the oonsequent redaction of the
volume .0* the currency. 2d, on the cessa
tion of hostilities by the 1st Of July, for so
-long as the enemy will be able to prolong tho
war. tho pnblio expenditure must oontinwe
on the same scale, and the volnme of tho
currency remain unreduced. 8d, On the val
ue of capital, should hostilities terminate by
the 1st of July, and the ability of govern
ment to borrow at a lower rate of in ter eat
than it is paying for tho debt incurred during
tho war, in tho fhee of an over-supply of
bcais at tho rate of one hundred millions an
nually for five years. It is needless to re
mark that the failure of the first eondition, to
ooeree tho holders of the Treasury notes to
tho extent contemplated, will involve the fail
ure of tho attempt to improve tho value of
tho eurrenoy by lessening iu amount. It is
no leas evident that, if even the conversion Is
fully effected of Treasury notes for bends, if
hostilities do not cease, and the war is pro-
longed until the 1st af January, 1864, the
public expenditures continuing as heretofore,
to the extent of forty millions per month, at
he end of one year tho volnme of tho «ur-
ency will be as large as it is at present, It
s as plainly demonstrable that if pesos
lakes plaee by tto 1st of July that capital
Will become more valuable than it is at pres
ent. The stagnation of trade daring tho war
has caused investments to to sought that will

from which an effort waa made last year to open
ssgespi
from the channel oftbe “father of waters.”—
Deserters from the Yankees inform us that from
three to five thousand men are now engaged in
battery at a place near where fhetr projected
canal w|U empty into tto river below the city,
whicintatthry commands the river and prevents
our boating up supplies from tbe mouth of Red
river. Thu circumstance gives us some trouble,
but by no means cuts us off from tto fruittul
fields drained by that stream.
Every day since the first landing, freight boats
and transports have been arriving, laden with
troops and army stores, by which tbe enemy is
being strengthened. Reports are current, upon
tbe authority of deserters, that seventy or eighty
thousand ot the best men in the Federal army
are to be concentrated against the modern Ther-
mopylaj. This ftale ot things, excites the en
quiry, what does tbe enemy intend t Will he
attack the third time the place at which be has
been so signally defeated twice, both by land
and water? Or does he intend to leave the
“bluff city” in quietude, and land a large force
below to cO-operate wiut the lower fleet upon
Port-Hudaon t
The first interrogation has been answered in
part, at least, by what has followed the arrival
of the hostile hordes. Too question as now
modified, is, what store will they dot They
have cut off railroad communication between
Vicksburg and East Louisiana, and river con
nection with Port Hudson. These are incon
veniences, but are not eerioue results, as v/e si ill
have a channel for travel and supplies irom
Texas.
How as to what they may do. It is possible
for them to open their big canal, run light draft
transports and freight boats through it, and
thereby laud their army on the river below the
city, as the line of the canal is beyond the range
of our batteries, and it is probable, because it is
indispensable, if an attack either on the city, or
Port Hudson, is contemplated by them.
But this canal may also be intended to land
forces on this side of the river below the city,
and make the next attack from tbe South; run
ning the ram by tbe city, and anchoring it oboul
the mouth of the canal, points to this intention.
An attempt'to effect this will be disputed, and be
will not accomplish it until he has deinorstrated
that his guns and gunners are superior to ours,
The former is possible, but the latter is extreme
ly improbable and more impracticable.
Supposing he may get gunboats down the
canal, and may run some iron-clads by the city
then, be may land a force this side the river, be
tween it and Port Hudson. Then Vicksburg
must be attacked in tbe rear by land and in tbe
front by water, or the fort at Port Hudson must
be attaoked by a land force from above and be
low, and by the upper ahd lower fleets. If the
first alternative is chosen, in our opinion, tbe
city will be eafe—the eame proud monument of
Southern valor aud firm teeietanee to a merce-

Thx Gunboat Isaac Smith.—A large num
ber of persons visited this vessel, lyvag.at
Commercial wharf, daring Friday. &he has
the appearance of having been a freight
steamer, purchased by the Lincoln Gov
ernment, and fitted up as a gunboat. She
is a substantially built vessel, and can be
anally repaired and made very serviceable
in our harbor. The fortunate shot which
stopped her progress, and caused an un
conditional surrender, penetrated clear
through the steam pipe or drum, about two
feet from the upper deck. This does not
injjre the engine. She is badly shattered
in several other places, one shot having
entered at the Bide, And, going through the
officers’ quarters, making a very wide
breach. It seems almost miraculous how
any of them escaped with their lives. The
officers’ quarters were vqry neatly arranged,
and fitted up with every convenience. The
doors of the pilot house are plated with
four inch iron, and exhibit evidence of the
damaging effect of the fire of our sharp
shooters, under command of Cspt. Jlitchel.
One of the shots which went through the
pilot house struck the negto pilot on board,
and as he was reeling outside on deck
another shot took effect upon him, killing
him instantly.
The Isaac Smith has on board a large
quantity of coal, sufficient to have lasted
her for two or- three months.—Charleston

latent. Edward Ltk, IT. g. N
A friend has furnished us a sketch of this
gallant young officer, whose sad fate has
excited so much interest.
His father is well known throughout the
late U. States, formerly as Professor Lea,
at present as Mtyor A. M. Lea, C. S. A. His
mother was Miss Shoemaker, of Philadel
phia, bnt brought up in Maryland, by her
sister, Mrs. Tilghman, mother of Gen. Lloyd
Tilgbman. He was born in Baltimore, Slat
January, 1837, lost his mother at three
years, was taken charge of by his aunt,
Mrs. T., until eight years old, when he
joined his father in Tennessee, whence he
was appointed acting midshipman at An
napolis, in 1851, graduated in 1855, cruised
in the frigate Potomac with Capt. Powell,
was aid to Com. Paulding on the Wabash
when Wm. Walker was captured, jServed in
the Gulf and West Indies for some years,
sailed as Master of tb?; Hartford to China,
in 1859, was ordered home in 1861, and was
transferred to tbe Harriet Lane just oue
year before his fall. Two months ago he
was made Lieut. Commander, and was
about to take command of a new gunboat.
In person he was rather short, very
compactly built, fine hazel eye, beautiful
hair and complexion, chiseled features,
with fine address. In morals' Ko was un
stained, in religion he was strict without
moroseness, having been a consistent com
municant of the Episcopal Church from
fifteen yean of age.—As an officer he waa
respected by all grades, and much loved by
his men, who left themselves sheltered un
der his strict hut kind rule.
At Annapolis he was trained for the ser
vice of the U. S. Government, and as a
sailor, nearly always aboard, he saw not
State lines, but fondly wonhipped the flag
of the Union. This over-fondness caused
him, under the example and advice of bis
seniors and the entreaty of dear friends in
the North, to continue his allegiance to
the U. States, as most naval men have done,
and having once made his selection, he
S ave himself bravely and honestly to the
uties of his station, and has washed-out
his honest errors by his heart’s blood. He

Tbe Ladies of Dahlonega,
Messrs. Editors;
About the 18th day cf last-month, the 16th
Ga. Battalion, P. R., then near Cumberland
Gap, reoehrei Orders to report to Col. Lee, of
Atlanta. On our arrival at Dalton, we found
orders awaiting us to report, ns soon as prac
ticable, at Dahlonega. We arrived here last
Sunday, the 29tb ultimo, CoL Lee having
preoeded us a few- days, and had, by his
prompt and energetic action, already accom
plished much. Tbe citfidbs of Dahloneg gen
erously furnished all the troops with houses—
a luxury which we enjoy for the first time
since our organization.
As Col. Lee made his headquarters at D&fi-
lonega, some might suppose that the chief
troubles lay in Lumpkin ceunty; but suoh is
not the fact. The malcontents and deserters
belong to nearly all.the counties- in this sec
tion of the State—but ia no. considerable
numbers in any. one county. Let it be re
membered that though these lawless men
succeeded in breakihg a jail in a neighboring
county, when they attempted te do likewise
uijDtthloncga, they found the citizens in arms
and. ready for them, and wisely desisted.
But I would speak of the ladies of Dahlon
ega. They are not idle; not wanting in noble
deeds—in acts of devoted patriotism and be
nevolence. They have formed an assooiation
for the purpose of cooking for the sick sol
diers in the hospitals here. The following
are the names of those ladies^ who with their
own fair hands prepare nourishment for the
suffering soldiers z
lira Whatehell, Mrs Jno Parker, Mrs Bes-
san Mrs Stephenson, Mrs Geo Quillian. Mrs
Burnside, Mrs Hope Mw Findley, Mrs L*w-
hon, Mrs Kelly, Mrs Price, Mrs Graham, Mrs
Bijstfield, Mrs Stone . Mrs H Wooten, Mrs
Rice, Mrs Woods, Mrs Evit, Mrs Holt, Mrs

ard, Mrs L Payne, Mro Hughes, Mrs Boyd,
Mrs Woodward, Mrs Worley, Mrs Wimpy, Mrs
Dexter, Mrs'CartiA Mrs Howell,' Mrs Neese,
Mrs Gordon, Mrs L Quillian, Mrs Martin.
What a noble monnment of fame the women
of Georgia are building ! With' what emo
tions of pride does it swell our hearts to see
thfe women of our State and their deeds
pointed out me bright examples of patriotism
by the journals of Mississippi, Tennessee,
and even old Virginia!"
