ATLANTA, GEORGIA: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1863, aAUUbST DAILY ‘JlBCULiTlOH IN THE STATE. «rHKE FIRST PAGK.-W Review of the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury—War Debt of the Confcd- crttcy, tonUnnetl—Sinking Fanil. NUMBER SEVEN. • It has been seen that Mr. Mem ninger esti mates the annual interest on the war debt of the Confederacy, down to the 1st of Jnly neat, at $48,360,000, and the amount of the taxes he proposes at about $60,000,000 net, imposing on gross income 10 per cent, and on property 1 per cent. We have shown that taxes on both in come and property would be duplicate .taxation. This could not have been intended by Mr. Mcmmingcr, for if intended the produce of such a double tax would amount to nearly one hun dred millions of dollars, when according to bis estimate not more was required to be raised than aixty millions of dollars to pay the annual intyeat on the war debt. This would be exclu. •ive of an income tax on professions, salaries &c. There must be a choice, therefore, between an income tax and a property tax. A.tax on in come it the most just and expedient. This subject cannot, however, be properly viewed uni less in connection with the whole expenditure and the entiro fiscal resources of the Confeders ucy. If we may suppose the duties on imports' .ions adequate to all the wants of the governs ment except the payment of the interest on the debt, we may direct our attention exclusively to Direct taxation tor the means of discharging • that interest. But this would preclude us from the benefit of Esport duties, which would great ly lighten the burthens of direct taxation. If such duties could be combined with taxes on in come it would form the best of financial ars rangementa under the conditions and limitation* that will in an after part of this article be sug gested. Real estate is now taxed very heavily, property tax would bear with peculiar hardship on the agricultural interest. The waste from war has been extensive, fnd the reparation will bo alow. Farms and plantations hove been des olated. Labor in the Sonth has been violently Jivoiced from the soil, and its productive poW' era consequently lessened. Besides these cir cumstances an almost general deterioration in the value of landed estate, ard the general with , drawal ot capital with skilled laoor irom agrii culture have depressed all the interests connec ted with it. These circumstances have not only checked improvement, but greatly impaired the sources of reproduction. UntiLthe recuperative powers of oor people are in spme degree reator ed—until their energies are somewhat recalled from warlike operations to peaceful' pursuits, only the gradual, increase of taxation should take place. And here we.would remark tl.at the burthens of this wsr should not be made to fall on the present generation in a disproportionate degree We have been engaged in a conflict ot two years duration, of almost unexampled severity and hardship, for tbe salvation of that independence and those liberties which are the heritage as well of posterity as the present generation. In any fiscal arrangement that may be made the distributive share in such a con.cm will and must be disproportionate, but when is taken into the acoount the physical suffering and men> tal distress—tho wear and tear of body and mind —the loss of valuable life—the waste and rav age of a desolating! war - no pecuniary eati< mate can balance the benefits and the losses between the present and future. The prac- tical deduction from this view is that posterity should pay a part of tho price for the preserva» lion of the public liberties with the sovereignly and independence of these Southern States; and that such a deferred payment of the principal of the debt as well not be felt as too great a pres sure on the resources o( the present generation is due to justice and equality. To discharge the public obligations gradual payments and gradu al taxation should form the basis of any fiscal arrangements. Mr. Memminger’s scheme violates these principles. Ho proposes to discharge the principal of a debt in a period that will be found too limited and sadden for the growth of prosperity, and although he suggests reduction in the rate of interest from eight to six per cent, wo havs shown that this is more apparent than real. The interest and semi annual payments on account of tho principal according to Mr. Memminger’s scheme, gill amount to about aixty millions per annum.— To liquidate a debt of eight hundred millions of dollars by semi annuaf instalments, besides the annual payment of nearly sixty millions wonld be a more rapid progression of burdens than has marked the fiscal policy of any country in similar circumstances. . Mr. Mcmmiuger approves of ntt principle of a sinking fund but objects to its adoption on account of the abuse and misapplication of which it is susceptible. If increase of taxation is the price to be paid for a sinking fund he prefers immediate to future payment— semi-annual payments to tbe chances of ae cumulation by compound interest. In con formity with hiB theory of discharging public debt he recommends liquidation by semi-an nual payments. We have spoken of deferred payments on account of the principal. Let us explain. We lay it down as a postulate that there can be no efficient disobarge of a public debt on * less money can be obtained at a lower-rate of interest than the rale at which it was borrow ed, or what is an i-teatical proposition, unless the rate of profit is below the rate that pre vailed when the debt was incurred If can borrow money in the Conlederate States at five per cent, to discharge a public debt Which eight per cent is paid, or if the rate of interest is eight per cent, or above that rate in the Confederacy, and we can borrow abroad at a lea rate than ei$ht per cent, the advan tage of each an operation will not be qnes- tionedr Could ws obtain money at Icbs than eight per cent, it wonld be beneficial to pay off the wh >le of our publio debt speedily. If England could borrow money by a fall in the rate of interest at 2 per cent, per an num permanently, it wonld be. financially ju dicious to discharge the whole of her consol idated debt, which bears three per cent. If she were, eo converto, to borrow for this pur pose at more than 8 per oent. she wonld in crease instead of diminish the publio bur thens. Bat this is in effect what is every day done when the rate of profit, and conse quently the rate bf interest is above the rate paid for borrowed money by the publio. It requires no argument to show that if that portion of the capital of the nation that is drawn from it in the form of a tax, to form a fund, to redeem a national debt, yields in their hands 7 per cent., and it liberates a publio obligation, carrying 5 per oent, that is a national loss. The error here is in sup posing that the sums drawn from the people by taxes, to constitute a sinking fnnd, are not as productive in .their hands, and will not aoonmnlate as rapidly as if placed out at interest to be compounded. The fall in the general rale of interest below the rate at which money has been borrowed for publio use, and applied to the disobarge of tbe debt, is the only real sinking fond. All others so called are mere delusions. When the British gov ernment paid off the Navy & per cents, in 1828, she acted on this principle. The inter est of money had fallen to 4 per cent. She offered to pay off the holders with 4 per cent, stock, or to accept payment of the principal. A large majority assented. The dissentients ware paid off by money borrowed of the Bank of England at 4 per cent. We have alluded to a permanent fall in the rate of interest and of profit. The latter regulates the former, not at those occasional or exceptional periods when the money market is disturbed by pe cuniary pressures and panjes, bnt in the long ran. Money ie at times in Enrope at 1£ and 2 per cent, as at other periods it is at any price for which it can be obtained. It is when the rate of profit declines permanently, carrying with it the rate of interest, below the rate at which money has been borrowed for pnblio uses, that a prudent financier will think of paying off the publio debt. Now Jet us apply to our situation these obvi ous principles; Is money now, or is it probable to be at a lower rate of interest than we are paying on our pablio obligation ? Is it not, on the contrary, likely to be aa high if not higher ! Is there any other part of ti.e world in which we can obtain money at a less rate of interest than we are paying on our Confederate debt?— There is. We can obtain money in England at 5 per cent to pay off engagements at 8 per cent per annum, by making proper financial arrange ments. The mode of doing so will be the sub ject of our next article. C Oar 6pectal Richmond-Correspondence. Che fail of New Orleans In Congress—Five Millions of Dollars for tbe Belief ot Soldiers' families—Editors in dispensable In conducing tbe War—Important Philo logical dirnover;—Congress and the General* Assembly of Virginia, Ac. Richmond, February 6, 1863. The fall of New Orleans has, at length, be come a prominent subject of discussion in the House of Representatives. Tbe Secretary of War, in his Annual Report to Congress, having referred to the matter in terms not tbe most flai tering to the patriotism and pride of the pe of that city, Mr. Villere, a member from Louis iana, took occasion to protest against the lan guage employed by the Secretary, and, in a most spirited and eloquent vindication of the people of New Orleans, intimated that the “feebleness of resistance” was properly chargeable to inert ness at Richmond. Thus the matter rested for some days, when Mr. Barksdale of Mississippi introduced a resolution calling for all the cor respondence. by telegraph or mail, on this sub ject between the authorities at Richmond and the military and civil authorities of New Or leans, subsequently extended by another resolu tion calling for tbe correspondence between General Lovell and the War Department, and between the President or the Secretaries of War and Navy and the Governor of Louisiana on the subject. The preliminary debate on the intro duction of these resolution promises an inter esting discussion, when the whole subjeci comes before the House, especially as it is announced by Mr. Barksdale on tbe one side, that the cor respondence called for will hot only exonerate the authorities at Richmond from all just cen sure for that melancholy disaster, but will show that everything was done, or directed to be done, that was proper and expedient under the circum stances ; while, on the other side, Mr. Foote is pledged to demonstrate “that the same persons were responsible ftr this terrible catastrophe by whose criminal want of capacity it had happen ed that his own home, Nashville, had fallen into the hands of the enemy.” On these two pro positions all future controversy in reference to New Orleans, will turn; hence, I state them in full, so that the future action of the House on Mr. Barksdale’s rstolutions may be fully com prehended, believing at tho same time, however, that there are other questions more vitally affec ting the welfare and interests of the Confederacy, at the present juncture, which should claim both precedence and pre-eminence at the hands of Congress. When tbeives and burglars have entered your house, their capture or expulsion ii tbe first duty ; how they got in should be con sidered after you have made proper efforts to put them out. Mr. Lyons of Virginia has submitted resolu tiona proposieg to appropriate five miUins bf dollars tor tbe relief of the families of noncom missioned officers andjprivatea now in the army, or who have died in tbe army, whose necessities require such relief, to be divided among the States in proportion to the number of troops famished by each* and to be paid over to such officer as the States may respectively designate. Mr. Conrad’a proposition, heretofore no ticed, to restrict the privileges of the Press by the enrolment of editors, was brought be- fere the Honse on Tuesday last, in a modified form, so as to exclnde all editors from ex emption who are not themselves practical printers. Mr. Conrad said, in delivering himself of this important modification of his original teetotal editorial emolument resolu tion, that he would not object to exempting printers, because they were trained to a par ticular art. But it required no training to be an editor, for “ an editor waa only a writer.” This is a most important discovery, and it is to be hoped that, in acknowledgement of the compliment paid to their craft by the honor able member from Louisiana, tho printers throughout the Confederacy, will diffuse such valuable information as widely as pos sible. It may save millions of dollars that are now thrown away upon schools and col leges, for the art of writing can be acquired in a few months, and candidates at once qual ified for the editorial tripod. If Mr. Conrad wonld only follow op his investigations, and stumble upon the discovery that “ Statesmen and Legislators are only talkers,” he wonld complete the cycle of the occult soienoe and deserve a monument “perennins ore.” His resolution was voted down by a majority of twenty-one. Mr. Wigfall lias introduced into the Sen ate a bill regulating tho mode in which im pressments of private property for publio use shall bo hereafter made. It provides for just and prompt remuneration from the govern ment, and protects the citizen from the wan ton, oppressive or unnecessary exercise of this power. All property so impressed is to be immediately appraised by three or mortf disinterested oitizens, and if the officer im pressing deems their appraisement just.and- fair, he shall endorse approved; if otherwise, he shall Btill endorse his reasons, and deliver the paper to the owner for payment‘by the proper offioer. Wanton, oppressive or unne cessary impressment is to be tried by any court having jurisdiction of ordinary tres pass, and also by Court Martial, and, on con viction, such officer shall be dismissed from the servioe. The loose manner in whioh tes timony has been given before tbe various Committees of Congress, and especially Com mittees raised for the investigation of frauds and corruption having thrown almost insu perable obstacles in the way of ferreting out the truth in regard to such matters, Mr. Gar treil has reported, from tho Judiciary Com mittee, a bill to punish false swearing, and for other purposes. This bill will interpose, it is to be hoped, an effectual bar against such practices in future, and thus subserve the publio interest. The resolutions of the Georgia Legislature, relative to the misconduct of Quartermasters, Commissaries and Surgeons, when first pre sented to the House, were referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. They have been reported back, withont any action thereon, for reference to the War Department, and the Committee discharged from their further consideration. The Supreme Court bill is “still dragging its slow length” in the Senate. Should wo ever have two political parties in the Confederate 8tates, their origin will be traced to the dis cussions on this important measure. The ablest men we have in the Senate have taken part, or will participate, in this discussion; and it is easy, to perceive, from tho ability and vehemence with which the most irrecon cilable and antagonistic theories of govern mental policy have been advocated, that the neeeleBs of party organization is already formed and only awaits tho restoratioa of peace and energetic development. I merely* siate the fact now apparent to every person who has attentively followed up this able and interesting debate. A very important resolntiou was adopted in the House, to-day, which will save about sev enty-five per cent; of tbe time devoted to the proceedings of that body. It ha* become al most a practice to introduce bills and resolu tions with long speeches purporting tQ explain their object, but in reality intended for the eats of a respectable old gentleman whom people call Buncombe. This fellow, whoever he is, has already occupied a large portion ot. the present session. He is now, by virtue of the aforesaid resolution, restricted to an al lowance of five minutes on all bills and reso lutions hereafter to besubmittid. This is a most excellent mqvemet, and I only regret that, want of time before the mail closes, pre vents mo from giving to its author’s name the benefit of your extensive circulation. The Hftue of -Delegates of Virginia is la boring over an extortion bill They will, doubtless, succeed in passing something qfi|that name, after its extraordinary performance in the line of sumptuary legislation. ToRacco is, hereafter, to be raised by legislative rale, and stocks and pillories, await tbe daring transgressor who exceeds the number of'‘bills” fixed by law. In tbe Senate of the General Assembly, Mr. Collier, of Petersburg has ta ken strong grounds against guarantying, the publio debt of the Contederaffiy. Two Stales, h«- RKitetidt <1, have done so, but they were • Sti.es isolated from the desolations of war mat were sweeping over this commonwealth.” Iu regard to the bill exempting from conscrip tion all persons who had furnished substitutes, the Senate and Honse of Delegates have disa greed and a committee of conference has the matter now in hand. In Congress, the ques tion of exemptions ha? not been touched since the date of my last letter, and the whole mat ter now stands on the motion to recommit, with increased chances that that motion will be defeated—tbe bill passed pretty much as it came from tbe committee and sent to the Senate. Mr. Marshall of your city has made a con tract with the Government for tbe manufac ture of Morse’s Breech-Loading Carbiae.— The President and Secretary of War were highly pleased with the weapon, and are wil ling to give it a fair trial. The peculiarity oi its cartridge, in view of the possible capture of our ammunition by the enemy, alone pre vents its more genial use in the army. CHEROKEE. New Advertisements. FOR SAXE.
