NUMBER NINE. [The reader is requested to make the follow' ing correction in the article No. 8, that appeared yesterday : Read two dollars and a half per bans dred pounds export duly on cotton instead of taro dollar* and a half per bale.] The reasons and motives that justify the finan cial policy of borrowing at a lower rate to pay -the interest on a public debt bearing a higher rate of interest, applies as well to the principal ol the debt. To borrow at 5 to discharge an obligation carrying 8 per cent, is a saving that does not require elucidation. If we borrow in Europe forty millions for the payment of inter' cat, it would be no less expedient to borrow as much more as onr credit would enable us to re deem of our war deMf if prudencedid not admon ish ns that there are limits to the capacity to endure taxation, united with the inconvenience of paying off our public debt too rapidly. The only efficient ainking fund as we have seen is obtaining capital at a lower rate oi interest than has been paid for the use of capital lor public purposes, and which being invested increases at compound interest. In the. plan we have sug gested of discharging our debt in a gradual manner, a sunt of teu millions is slated as an amount that is within our power to borrow in' Europe for this purpose, in addition to the forty millions for the payment of interest. This would lead to a gradual extinguishment of the principal, in correspondence with a system of gradual increase of taxation. This plan of discharging our war debt differs essentially from that proposed by Mr. Memmin- ger. He discards the employment of a sinking fund. His scheme has' these defects: 1, It would discharge the debt with too much rapid ity. 2, It would distress our resources now limited by the waste of war. 3, It would dis card the only valuable part of the sinking fund —an accumulation by compound interest. There can be no denial of the fact that the public debt may be paid off with Too much rapidity. If it were practicable to redeem one hundred millions annually for five years, it would greatly derange the loan market from the competition of thoso who arc seeking investments for unemployed capital. It is needless to show that our re sources are not adequate to the liquidation of the debt in the period contemplated by Mr. Memminger. The rejection of a sinking fund —and with it the only pan that is of value, iis augmentation by compound interest—while the people are additionally taxed to supply its place by the frequent recurrence of semi'annual pay ments, will withdraw more from their pockets than is saved in debt by these semi'annual pays ments. The plan of borrowing capital at a lower rate to discharge the interest and principal of public debt, gives no preference of the foreign over the domestic. loan market. Wherever moneyed capital can be obtained at a lower rate of inter est, whether’at home or abroad, on the cheapest ' terms gives the only claim to preference. We may here anticipate the objection to foreign loans compelling the periodical reini:tance of interest, which, if received in the country in which the loan is made, is thought to contribute to its wealth and prosperity in a higher degree than if the interest is remitted and spent abroad. ' This is a delusion: More is made by the use of foreign capital than the annual sum paid for such use, when and where in can be obtained relatively cheap. If we borrow in Europe for productive investment there can be no. denial of the fact that we can, after repaying the interest, derive a la ger surplus than if we had not made' the loan abroad. If wc borrow 100 millions of dollars at 5 per cent per annum, it is unques' tionablo that our earnings will exceed the sum of five millions per annum, which we annually remit for interest. It is the same operation, in effect, although different in form, when we bor. row fifty millions at 5 per cent, to discharge the interest or principal of a public debt, incurred at an interest of 8 per cent. We have borrowed European capital since the settlement of the conntry. With European capital we have made canala, built rail roads, established b inks, set tied plantations—in the form ol merchandise as well as money, and we have increased in wealth and prosperity simply because the demand lar outruns the supply ot capital in a new conntry. Wc have accumulated a larger surplus lor the support of a more numerous population than it we had developed our resource* without the ad vantage ot comparatively cheaper capital abroad. Wc have had more to spend luxuriously, if we wished, and to invest profitably, if we so preferred, than il we had not made foreign loans. In this Review, in suggesting an export duty on cotton, we have not included in the estimate of our fir cal resources our other exportaole products, aa they constitute only abont one sixt h of the value of our entire exports, neither have we made any deduction for incomes at and be low a Mtaianiai, in estimating the probable amount of our gross income, as it is presumable that they will about offs et each other. There may .he this further objection to foreign debt, that the t eminence of the inter est, and, occasionally, of portions of the pria cipal causes disturbance in the money-market of the indebted conntry. This cannot be de nied. There is no good, however, without its attendant evil. The penalty or borrowing ia occasional inconvenience; but the real qnes ' tion involved is, dow not the benefit overbal ance the inconvenience t In this the indebted country is ol ten chargeable with the' loss of its specie, in remittances to discharge the in tereston a foreign loan arising from a balance of payments from over importations, origina ting from a spirit of rash speculation, Or from the depreciation of iu currency. A remittance in specie to pay the interest on a foreign debt is nst anecev-ary consequence, any more than such a remittance from commercial indebted ness. If there is an annual sum due for in terest on a foreign loan, should there be no commercial balance due and no depreciation of tho currency, what i* periodically due for interest may be paid by bills drawn against produce exported as well ss by exporting specie. The two leading principles on which our scheme of discharging our War debt is found ed ate: 1st, Obtaining at borne or abroad the use of capital on cheaper terms than we have en gaged to pay in incurring that debt. 2d, Discharging the new obligation to be thus incurred, by a system of gradnrl taxa tion, as alone suitable to our present circum stances. We offer a summary and recapitulation of the general conclusions to which we have been led in this inquiry. 1st, That the preliminary and leading ob ject in any sound scheme of financial relief being a reduction in the volume of the cur rency, this is .to be obtained not by forcing the holders of this currency to exchange it for bonds, at the expense of pnblio faith, but by the combined influence of gradual taxation and the use of our principal staple, in pro curing cheaper capital abroad than we can obtain in the Confederate St Ales, and cheaper than wears paying on our war debt, in inter est. That boing a sound financial maxim, to ob tain at a cheaper rate than is paid for capital, in contracting a War debt, it would be the readiest and most certain mode of relief, to borrow capital abroad,, to pay the interest and principal of onr War debt, on the solemn fledge of our government, to impose an export duty on cotton as a security to capitalists who may contract a loan or loans, for this purposo, with tbo Confederacy. 3. That an export duty on cotton will not fall on the producers, but on the consumers, while the demand for this article continues greater than the supply, according to tho invariable operation of the Law of demand and supply. - 4. That the most expedient plan of taxa tion, if an income tax is ..imposed, is by a moderate rate of impost, gradually increas ing nntil the equilibrium between the demand and supply of cotton is restored, so that no part of the burthen of taxation should fall on producers or a particular class of producers, tut be distributed over all. tax payers and over all income. 5. That a sinking fund oan only property be so called that does not withdraw from pro ductive employment a larger sum annually, in taxes than- is paid for interest on a public debt, or than is received by an investment of such fund in stocks, to accumulate at com pound interest. Consequently that to tax the people where capital is making 10 per cent, profit, to discharge a public obligation draw ing 7 per cent, or not to borrow oapital mak ing 7 per cent, profit to discharge such an obligation drawing 10 per cent-, is attended by national loss. Another artiele will close tbis series. C Amendment of the Constitution of the Confederate S’ates. The following is the bill introduoed in the Confederate Congress by Mr. Johnson, of Georgia, of which telegraphic mention has been made: “A bill to-proposa au amendineut to tho Con stitution of the Confederate States of Am erica. * “Sec. 1. It is enacted by the Congress of the Confederate States, two-tbirds of both (looses thereof concurring, that the follow-: ing amendment to the Constitution of the Confederate States of America be, and the same is hereby proposed, and when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several Stales, .shall be a part of the said Constitution, and.shall be inserted therein os clause 2d. section 1st, of artiole Stb, to wit: “When any Stato being aggrieved by any act of Congress, shall by Convention, deolare the same to be unconstitutional, Congress, if in session, and if not, the President shall convene it for that purpose, shall immediate ly call a Convention of the States to consider said act, and if not affirmed by two-thirds of said Convention, the vote to be taken by States, it shall stand; and if affirmed and no adjustment can Se made by amendment or otherwise, satisfactory to the oomplaining State, and if determined to recede from the Confederacy, it shall be done^n peace, but shall be entitled to its pro rata share of the public property and liable for Us pro rala share of the publie debt, to be determined and settled by negotiation. “Sec. 2. That the Presinent shall transmit to the Governor ot each State a copy of the act, to be submitted by him to the Legisla ture thereof for ratification.” The Reported Destruction of the Florida. —The Northern papers of the 2d- contain the rumors which were in circulation at Havana on the 28th ult., of the loss of the Confederate steamer Florida, (»e Ovieto.) The following ia a summary of the rumors : On Tuesday Sanuary 27, it was reported in Havana, that heavy firing had been heard at Matanzas and Cardenas, as if coming from veas aela of war engaged in a serious contest at sea. It was also staled that the Florida or some other rebel vessel had been chased by several Union gunboats -. but with what result had not been learned. It was then believed at Matanzas that the firing and chasing was connected with the same, vessel. The rumor was strengthened by the arrival of the Creole from New York, on the following day, which reported that she had been apokon by the Union gnnboat Cayuga, which vessel reported that she had observed a steamer on fire, supposed to be the Florida, and that three other vessels were firing into her with great rapidity. The locality of this en gagement was not definitely stated, but it was in the vicinity of the Cayes, on Cardenas and Matanzas. Yah Dorr at Hollt Sprihqs.—The Tua- cumbia North Alabamian of the 30th ultimo, furnishes the following particulars of a recent raid of Van Dorn at tiolly Springs : reliable gentleman who arrived in town yesterday from below, reports that Gen. Tan Dorn made another attack on Holly Springs a few days ago, capturing 700 prisoners, and catting the 31 Michigan Cavalry op very badly, only a few escaping.- The infamous scoundrel Capt. Latimer, who made himself infamous by his depredations in tbis county, and who had been burning houses and cut ting up extensively abont Holly Springs, was hung by order of YanjDorn, only ten minutes being allowed him to make bis arrangements for his long journey. See onr new terms. Oiir Special Richmond Correspondence. Cougres* raising a N egro Army—Demote! ixa- tlmi in the Yankee Anuy—YallandigbviaV bald Speech —Senator Johnson'. Resolutions— Destroyed Property —Treasury Notes, Sc, Ac. Richmond, Feb. 8, 1803. In my lettor of the 20th ult. 'I noticed the fact that Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania, had introduced into the Yankee Congress a resolution for tho enrollment of 150,000 ne groes, to supply, the-places of .over that num ber of nine months and two years men, whose term of service will expire in May. The res olution was duly referred, reported back and finally passed the House by pretty nearly tho same, vote by which it was sustained on its first introduction. Its pa-sage in the House is significant in two aspects; first, as a con fession of their own inability, notwithstand ing their vast superiority in numbers and re sources, to accomplish the task of subjugating tho South; and, secondly, S3 an evidence of the desperation with which.the abolitionists are determined to prosecute this iniquitous war so long as they shall-remain in power.— In his dosing speech on tho question, Mr. Stevens openly proclaimed' the fact that- in May next, the term of servioe of Borne 300,- 000 men would expire; that it will be impos sible to raise 60,000 by volunteering, and that drafting is out of tho question. Wheu May comes this brutal abolitionist will find that, in all that shall then remain of the old United States, his party oould net rate, by volunta ry enlistment, the half of uno thousand men, unless, indeed. th< y should be called ont, a thing not unlikely, to hurl from power, tho sanguinary imbeciles who have destroyed their liberties and spread desolation and mourning throughout the land. The latest Northern journals unite iu rep resenting .the Northern army, at every point, as exhibiting fearful symptoms of demorali zation and disaffection. Whole urigadcs in the West have been placed in garrison under arrest;'the populace have risen, in several localities, and resisted the troops sent to ar rest deserters; Brigadiers and Colonels have resigned, assigning as a reason that they will not draw a aword in a war avowedly waged for the abolition of slavery. From every in dication that roaches us from the North, and from assurances given by those who are cog nizant of much in Richmond, that the author ities, so far, deem it proper to withhold from the public, there is not much risk in predict ing that, if we can hold onr o>n, and drive back the enemy until May or June, the war will be over and our independence won. The. speech lately delivered by Vallandi 5bam in the Yankee Congress, has produced an mmense sensation in the New England Sl ates, and is attracting an unusual degree ot atten tion in Richmond. It reached here a few days since through the columns of the New York Caucasian, occupying nearly an entire page of that paper. It is learedin the United States, and believed by many persons here, that, behind this bold and eloquent denunci ation of the Washington tyrants, ‘ there is much which Mr. Vallandigham does not ohoose to roveal. A conspiracy, even, is hinted at by some of the more sagacious jour nals of abolitiondoin, having for its object the expulsion of the usurpers from Washington, and Mr. 'Vallandigham’s speech is already construed into an open declaration of the sentiments which pervade the conspirators.— Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey are supposed to be the head quarters of the different branches of tbis ter rible secret organization, and it is ominously hinted that the leaders are in communication with prominent'officers at Richmond. On no other theory can these timid, edito rial old woman comprehend the audacity and emphasis with which the member from Ohio dared to otter in the Hall of the House of Representatives,' pausing almost after every word, the prophetic declaration that “the 1 •/ which divides the North from the South, M .t self same day decrees eternal divorco he tween the West and the East.” Unlike the predictions of Cassandra, this terrible doom is haunting the slumbers of the entire Paritan Nation. A divorce from the West, and, per- haps, without a sous in the shape of alimony —the loss of the South with a bankrupt treas ury, and a debt counted by thousands of mil lions of dollars. The very idea is enough to drive them stark crazy, and would actually make them so if it were not for the assnance of Abe that “Fighting Joe” will take Rich, mond, Grant open the Mississippi, the com bined land and naval forces rnn the plow through the streets of Charleston before the conspiracy can make any head way, and then the same guillotine will drink the blood of the ill-boding Vallandigham and the ter rible chief of the subjugated rebels. Mr. Johnson, ot Georgia, submitted a series of resolutions having for their object an amend' ment of the Constitution of tho Confederate States.' You have doubtless seen a copy oi these resolutions. They propose an amendment to be inserted as clause 2, section 1, of article 5, pro* viding that when any State being aggrieved by an act of Congress, shall, by Convention, declare the same to be unconstitutional, Congress shall immediately call a Convention of the States to consider said act -. if not affirmed by two'tkirds of said States, it shall be void and no law, but if affirmed it shall stand. The State feeling it' self aggrieved may, if it eo desire, retiie in peace, receiving and assuming its pro rata of the public property and the public debt. The Press idem is to trasmit a copy of the act to each Gov* ernor to be laid before the Legislature* of his Stale. It, as it is generally believed in and around Congress, it is designed to revise and improve the whole Constitution, as one of tho first acts of national necessity, after peace shall have been established, Mr. Johnson’s resolution will, prob ably, not be definitely, acted on during the pros' ent session Under any circumstances, the chances are that they will be laid over until the next session, as the military exigencies of the country, and the financial questions with which these exigencies are so intimately allied, will, in all likelihood, occupy Congress as long as that body can afford to remain in Richmond, un less prices come down or salaries go up. What ever action may be had on these important ress olutions, Mr. Johnson has made his Senatorial debut in a manner that has attracted the aitem. tion of the conntry. He is unquestionably a man of high intellectual power, great practical capacity, and earnest and forcible as a public speaker. The resolution offered by Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, instructing the Committee cf Ways and Means to report the best mode of paying for cotton and other property destroyed by onr own military authorities, or by the owners to 'keep it from the hands of the enemy, though adopted without diBsent, will, it is feared, like all similar bills, be allowed to slumber either in the committee room or in the desks of members. In such cases, the law consigning to destruction property that if captured would materially aid the enemy, is hard enough to submit to; its stringent provisions should not be made wholly insupportable by unnecessarily, withholding proper indemnification, especialiyjbhen in many Chambers, of Mississippi, sweeps away all these forms, and makes it obligatory on the Colonel of the regiment to which the applicant desires to attach himself to receive him, in the company he may select, if not filled up to the maximum; if so - filled, in some other company of the same regiment. The bill reported by Mr. Keuner from the Committee of Ways and Means.to fund the cui> rency was made tho special order of the day for Tuesday the 10th inst. Tho chief features ol the bill are that it authorizes the different issues of Treasury notes to be converted into bonds, within certain limited periods in orderto entitle tlie-holder to the interest specified on their face, while it also contains ample provisions for with drawing such notes from circulation after the expiration ot the periods prescribed. O11 Saturday the House was chiefly engaged in secret session. Before the doors were closed, Mr. Gartrell asked for and obtained unanimous consent to iniroduce a memorial and claim for sugar seized for the use of the Government, from Messrs. Brown, Fleming & Co. of your city.— The papers were appropriaiely referred. The secret sessions yesterday and to-day hre gener« ally understood to be devoted to the considera tion of a report from.the Committee on Foreign Relations, on the resolutions of Messrs. Foote and Foster referred to that committee early in the session. Your readers will remember that those resolutions announced the unalterable de termination of the people of the States of this Confederacy never to assent to any proposition looking to a reconstruction of the old Union, while they expressed a willingness to enter into a league, offensive or defensive, with the States bordering on the Mississippi, whenever they withdrew from this war, and severed their polit ical connection with the New England Slates.— The report, it is whispered favors the Bpirii end object of the resolutions, and recommends a practicable mode of carrying them into execu tion. Our telegraphic news, this evening, releives us ol all our apprehensions in regard to the Oreto or Florida, Confederate States vessel of war. It is still barely possible that she may have been sunk by a superior force ; while ail the probabilities are that she,' with her consorts, the Alabama and Harriet Lane, attacked, do feated and sunk the United States sloop ol war, the Brooklyn. The demoralized condition in which General Banks found the army at Baton Rouge, drawing from him the classical Yankee' ism, “My army lias gone toh—11—that’s a fact,” is fully corroborated by official intelligence res ccived at the War Department. No movements yet on the Rappahannock, and none likely for weeks to come. CHEROKEE. Oar Correspondence front Pen. Wheeler's Command. Hadquarters Advance Pickets, > Near Fosterville', Tenn., Feb. 10th. J Perhaps your numerous readers would like to hear from the front of our army, from an eyewitness, and pirtioipant Onr Regiment, (the olst Alabama Cavalry, Col. John T. Mor gan,) occupy the turnpiko leading from Shel- jyville to Murfreesboro’, and picket this p.ike. The balance of Wheeler’s old Brigade (now Allen’s) ocoupy and picket the road* on our right and left. In our rear and close enough to come up when wanted are regiments of infantry, the whole under the command of Col. W. B. Wade, of the 8th Confederate. Gen. Allen being wounded at Murfreesboro’ has not yet recovered sufficiently to take command.-—• After Gen. Wheeler had played thunder and kioked up Jack generally around Murfrees boro’, he took us down to the Cumberland.— What we did there you have heard long sinoe. Being iu our saddles thirty days and nights, men and horses were pretty well worn down, and Geu. Wheoler brought us here to reBt our men and horses. Relieving Gen. Wharton’s brigade with ours he took Wharton’s aod For rest’s commands and started off on one of his devilish expeditions and you will be sure to hear- from him soon. We beiug left on out post duty to rest, will remain here until he runs Forrest and Wharton down and then «• will come in for our services again We are gettiog on finely, stand picket one day and rest tbo other,* and only have two fights a week. The Yankees come out forag ing in our front, twico a week and wc have a lively time of it. We dismount and meet them and the firing is kept up for four or five hours. They always bring ont about three or four thousand infantry, with artillery and cavalry. Tbis foree has to be met with our Regiment, and thus far we have successfully checkod their advance and repulsed them without calling, the infantry to our assist ance. Every limo they como out they get some of their men killed and a quite a number wound ed, while we have not lost a man, and have had only two slightly wounded. At this rate their forage will cost them something. If they don’t pay money for it, they will have to- pay blood. I feel sorry for the people that' live iu their reach. They go to a house take every ear of corn the man has, every p-juud of bacon, take all the poultry and drive off all bis cattle, sheep and hogs, and if be steps out of his house a minute, it is filled with soldiers who steal everything they oan lay their hands on. In many instances a whole family is left without meal and meat enough to make them a dinner. This is no fancy sketch. I see it with my own eyes every day, and know it to be so. They candidly confess to the citizens their inability to whip us with powder and ball, but say they will starve us out by taking everything we have, and subjugate us by this meaus. Obi that Wheeler with his whole command would come back here t Ho could find plenty of work to tlo, and do it he would if he was here. He will boon them as soon as he gets back from his present expedition, and then, go it Yankee wagons and mules. Oiir soldiers are all in fine spirits, and pay no attention to the rumors of peace. They are determined to fight this fight ont if it takes them a life time to do it. . Soldiering and fighting has bccomp to be a business with them, and the longer the -war lasts, the more they get aooustomed to it and like it. To-morrow the Yanks come again and we will have another frolic If it proves to be a serious one, I will give you the particulate. Adieu for the present. HORSE MARINE. Hardware!
