Reflaw of the Report of the Secretary of
the .?^eaenrv* and the Report of the
^ r if: Committee of Finance.
NUMBER TEN.
Since our previous remarks on the Report of
the Secretary of the Treasury the Report of
tbo Committee of Finance, has beou made
to the Senate of the Confederate Slates,
the Chairman of wbiob (Mr. Ilanter)
we perceive has sanctioned the coercive
recommendations of Mr. Memminger debarr
ing the holders of all Treasury notes not
funded by the 1st of July from that privilege,
thus violating the pledge given to the public
that all Treasury notes issued wonld be re-
deomed in specie six months after the peace,
and, in addition, recommending that the 7 30
notes and the Call Certificates, both of which
were promised to be exchanged for eight per
cent, bonds, would be deemed only six per
cent, bonds after the 1st of July, a still more
palpable breach of public faith. This last re
commendation is not in the Treasury report,
but we have understood that the exchange
of certificates and 7-80 notes for eight per
cent bonds had been previously refused c.j,,
the Independent Treasuries, of course by of
ficial anthority. Not haying seen Report
of the Committee tt Finance^we copy t)ie
following ah**ra$t of its leading recommen
dations from the BiqhmonS ' Examiner:
firmed to be depreciated. It is impossible to
circulate the same or an increased quantity of
commodities at higher prioes with the same
volume of currency as at lower prioes
The influence of currenoy on prioes is that
of action and reaction. They operate alter
nately as cause and effect. The advance of
money values produced by an undue increase
of paper money, is through a change in the re
lation of demand'to supply. A, tbe government,
or its agents having a large purchasing pow
er at command for all articles to whioh it
ehooses to apply the power, by first entering
into competition with B, C and D, private
dealers, raisoB prices from inoroased demand.
The demand extends as the additional cur
rency finds its way gradually to the whole
body of doalors and p roduoers, but if befo.Ve
the effects of a first emission are fully devel
oped, another and another emission takes
place, the same ronnd of effects takes place.
The rise of prices is the uonseqtmtce oT in
creased demand—the cause an over-issue of
paper money. This Is the action of currency^
on prioes. The paper currency is not redund.
ant compared with the soale of prices, bntfa re
dundant compared with the quantity of th e
paper currency oxisting before th» war., it
is not depreciated compared with the jirnge
of prices, but is dopreciated computed with
the currencies of foreign countries*,
Now let ns suppose the peoceeaW d .
that prices fall from increased, sv , r .

Secretary of thQ treasury has recommended I our money market from being constantly disturb*

J ' d t July, 1868. This suggestion has been |
Vuopted in the first section of the bill, which
is now reported to the Senate. [Call loan cer
tificates representing those notes, and 7-30 j
notes, are to be deemed six per cent, bonds, if j
not funded before 1st July.]
All notes issued, or to bo issued, within ten
* days after the passage of the aot, which are
fundable in seven- percent, bonds, to be so I
dred and seventy»five millions of dollars cannot
be kept afloat, as currency, under a general re
duction of prices, unless the currency of the
Confederate States is so kept above tbe general
level of value, as compared with the currencies
of other countries, as to leave it in an unsound
condition.*
Bat let uo concede that the appeal to sell in*
funded on or before that date (1st July,) or I terest is enccessful—that confidence is not ira-
afterwards, to be fundable only in fonr per
cent, bonds. The new issues under tbe bill
as proposed are to befundable in six per cent,
bonds within six months from the first day of
the month of their issue, bat afterwards to be
convertible only into four per cent, bonds—
paired'by the forcing policy of the government
—that there is no impediment ip coverting Treat*
ury notes into Confederajq bonds—the next point
ot inquiry is, what proportion is.it probable of
unfunded or floating debt can be converted into
the object being to stimulate funding* within funded debt? W.ehaveno data on which to found

descriptions repose on the same basis of credit
and good faith. The crowning act oi bad faith
has been to except from the operation of funding
175 millions of Treasury notes, to constitute the
currency of the Confederate State*. When the
Banks withdrew their notes from circulation to
be replaced by Treasury notes, it was on tbe

Jfiy. John M. J^\chardson, Perry, Ga :
. Sir : It gives me great pleasure
is respond as far as I am able to do so, to tho
matter.a contained in your note of inquiry rel-
ativy, to our mutual friend, the late Colonel
Chr,rles A. McDaniel. In the fierce battle of
5'erryvillo, Ky., fought on the 8th day of, Oo-
"tober. 1862, he was wounded in tho right leg,
(if I am not mistaken,) by a Minie ball,
whioh entered entered the leg in front, and
juBt above the knee-pan involving tbe knse
joint. He received this wonnd in tbo even
ing rather late in the fight, and whilst he was
cheering and encouraging his regiment for
ward, in pursuit of the enemy, who had been,-
and wob still giving baek, before his devoted
followers. It is said by those who were near
him at the time, that after he was ont down,
aqd unable to go farther, be raised bis voice,
and waved his hand to his men to press on
until the'enemy should be completely routed.
After the batfle he was cared for on the field
the best that could be done under sneh cir
cumstances. Next morning he was carried
back to Harrodsbnrgh, a distance of ten
miles, and placed in comfortable quarters at
the Exchange Hotel. Here he received event
kindness and attention that could possibly
mitigate his suffering,or promote his recovery
Rev. M. G. Rosser, of Cuthbert, Randolph
county, Ga., the Chaplain of his Regiment
nursed and- attended Col. McDaniel with a
constancy, assiduity and fidelity, which ai.ade
me think better of human n atnre. A. brother
could not have done more. I -am of opinion
that if Col. Mo Daniel’s leg had, been ampu
tated, his life could have been preserved, but
the hope of saving both led to,a postponement
of amputation until it was too loto. Gangrene,
insidious and fatal’ in its march,'-suporvflqpd,
and on the morning of the 23ib of Octqbftr,
the accomplished gentleman, the gallapt offi
cer, and the humhle, trusting Christian, qui
etly and peacefully breathed his last. A short
time before his death, I approached, his bed
side and inquired if he knew me, announcing
my name as Captain Lester. H,e nuked if it
was Capt. George Lestern, and on being in*
formed thp& it, was, he reached ont his hand,
(which Itookdn mine),and said “yes my dear
Captain \ dp Know you, and I know your
men.”- d then said, Colonel, I suppose you
are cpnseions that you are rapidly approach-
ihg life’s end, and that you muBt die very
boos. He replied that he was perfectly con
scious that such was his condition. I then
remarked, “I hope my dear Colonel, that you
are ready for the event, and prepared to meet
it calmly andjreslgnedly,” to which he replied
in a clear and distinct, though low tone ot
voice: “Yes, calmly as I met the battle;
calmly as I have met the ills of lifo; calmly
as I have always desired to meet my God.” —
This was about the last sentence of any length
that he ever uttered- I stood by until he
ceased to breathe, and when all was still, and
his munly but lifeluss form lay before me,
felt an undoubting assurance that one more
sanctified spirit, had found a home in the
realms of the blessed. He left with Mr.
Rosser^many messages for hia family, of which
he kept a memorandum, but, which I am un-
a le to give you. Dr. Rosier with some as
sistance from the Masonic; brotherhood of
Harrodsburg, obtained a handsome metallic
burial ease, in which, tho body, olad in uni
form wa3 deposited, and. on Sunday tbe 19th
of Ootober, be was decently and genteelly bu-
rise in the Masonic cemetery at Harrodsburg.
His burial was attended by quits a number
of ladies and gentlemen, many of whom wept
tears of sympathy and regret over the grave
of a stranger ‘out down in the pride and ex
oellency o£- a young and chivalrous manhood
and buried, far away from home and loved
ones. Sc* Rosser conducted the religious ex-
ercises at the grave, and with sad hearts we
turned away, leaving the gallant and lament
ed dead to the sleep of the tomb. Col. Mc
Daniel was a good offioer, a true man, a chris-
tain gentleman and universally respected and
beloved by those under his command. His
leading desire relative to his Regiment, was
that it Bhould not only exemplify good mil
itary discipline, and do its fall duty in battle,
but that his men should abstain from all the
demoralizing vices, and evil habits common
in camp life, so that they might return to
their homes when war had ceased, as good, or
better men, than when they entered the ser
vice. For this objeet he preached to, exhort
ed and continually prayed with his regiment.
I need not prolong this letter, as yon knew
him better than I did. I was prond of his
oonfidcnce, and gratified tor his friendship.—
He has otten spoken to me of yourself, in
terms of the highest commendation, and the
most cordial friendship. I ask your gener
ous indulgence as to any errors or defeots in
this response to yonr letter, aa writing with
my left hand, is rather inconvenient, with the

The notion, however, that one hundred and

constitute our paper ourrency when one hun-

for all the Southern States.just previous to
the war, implies such an abandonment of the
principles of a sound currency, that a brief
exposition of those prinoiples becomes abso

to be connected with the subject, the differ-

Braggs and his Generals.—We learn from
an unquestionable source, that on the arri
val of Gen. Bragg at Tollahoma, he ad
dressed a circular letter to his Generals, in
which he desired to know if there was any
foundation for. the rumor prevailing, that
there was-dissatisfaction and a want of con
fidence in him, existing in the army ? Ail
the Generals with the exception of Withers
*rid Cheatham replied in the affirmative,
stating that such was the case, and that
would be to the interest ot the service
Gen. Bragg would ask to be relieved.
It i3 further stated that none but Gen
erals Polk, Withers and Cheatham concur*
red in the proposition to retreat from Mur
freesboro’, all the other Generals not only
being opposed to it, but the majority of
.them were not even consulted on this
point. General Withers in his statement
ia.this regard was therefore entirely mis
taken.—Charleston Courier, Feb, 9.
From the Jackioa (We*) CrUl*. tfjb. 10
Programme In the Nuthimt,
We have derived the subjoined information
from a gentleman of high moral, social and po*
litical character—a distingushed citizen of one
ef the Northwestern States—and the informa
tion, therefore, is strictly accurate and entirely
reliable.' We make the statqmenta for the jn*
formation and gratification of our readers and
the Southern public generally.
Tiie States of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio have
determined to .*top the war and make terms of
peace with the Confedrate States, c'ost what it
may and offend whom it may. In one purpose,
whatever the future may be, they are firmly and
unalterably united and resolved and that purpose
is, tbe war against the Confederates shall cease
or, if it is to be carried on, the Northwest will
throw its military power into the scale against
the aggressor. The citizena of those States
who have been drafted, or enrolled in the Fed
eral army are leaving that army by the hundred
and by the regiment, and there is no authority
in the at my which can control this movement.
Of the one hundred and fifty thousand men or
ganized by the Federal Government to operate
on the Mississippi river under Grant and Mc-
Ciernand, not more than forty thousand effective
soldiers remain,|and that number is daily;dimin~
ished by mortality from sickness, and by a voK
untary abandonment of an enterprise with
which they are most thoroughly disgusted.
The legislatures of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Kentucky are to convene at Frankfort, in
general convention, on the 18th day of February
mat., and Will there agroe upon the principles
npon which a Northwest Confederacy ui to be
instituted, and propose terns of peace and com
merce with the Confederac^ for the States bor*
dering the Mississippi and its tributaries—pro
posing a treaty, offensive and defensive, with
tbe South, or an adoption of the Confederate
States Constitution, to incorpolKgAkose new
members into the Confederacy, if that be agree
able to the people of the Confederate Stats.—
But in any event, and independently of all other
questions, relations of peace, amity and com*
merce with the South are to be established. ✓
When, these prinoiples are agreed upon, in
convention, commissioners will ba deputed to
bear the result to Richmond to treat with- the
Confederate Government for tTfinal.andisatis-
factory adjustment- of all interests involved.
This action will be taken not secretly, not
clandestinely, but openly and with serious,
dignified determination, representing the sov
ereignty of those great and populous- States, j
When the terms of adjustment are settled at
Richmond, they will be submitted, for tha rat
ification of the people of those States respec
tively, by organic aotion- at the ballot-box
provided ten by the. Legislatures'of the res
pective States. When thus ratified, the work
of separatipn. from the United States will be
regarded as finally and irrevocably perfected.
“But,” we suggested, “Maj..—>—, what
if Mr. Lincoln shall send a detachment to
Frankfort to arrest the convention and its
peace delegates to Richmond ?” j j
“Let him dare lift a finger, or march an ar
my to disturb the deliberations- of that con
vention, or arrest its delegates, and three hun
dred thousand Western men will move to
Washington City and hang Mr. Lincoln and
his Cabinet.”
Again, we suggested, “Mr. Lincoln has
the army and the navy and the treasury.”
“Let him send Grant’s army,” said our in
formant, “to Illinois, and that is the last
Grant will ever see of his army. He would not
have a corporal’s guard remainihg attached
to his oommand, while our Southern allies
would reoapture every town and oity on the
Mississippi, from New Orleans to Cairo. Let
Rosoncranz take his army to the' Ohio river,
and it will cease to exist in like manner. We
already have one hundred and eighty thous
and returned Federal soldiers in those States
ready to join us, and we have the ai my and
we have its leaders, and if the Black Repub
licans at Washington City dare to interfere
with us, the majesty and power of a great-
people will be exerted to move to Washington
Oity and hang the last one of them. As to
operations upon the river, the gunboats shalt
bo yours.”
“Aud what will you do with the Federal
War debt J” wc asked.
We will repudiate the last farthing of it,”
said he, “It was never conetitutiadally con
tracted.”
‘And what will you do with the ’green
backs’ in circulation,, to the amount of many
millions 7”
“We will make a bonfire of them, and con
sume them at the altar of sacrifice.”
■And what will you do with the Middle
and New England States!”
“We expect the moral support of New York
and Pennsylvania: We’ll out off Michigan
to Canada, where she ought to belong: And
if New England interferes, we’ll whip her
out of the Union, or into good behavior.”
“And what time,” we asked, “do you ex
pect tho present war to close 7”
“I expeot,” said he, “no more geaoral en
gagements, unless one should occur in Middle
Tennessee, between the forces under Bragg
and Bosenoranz, and I 'should deem that a
great misfortune, as being unnecessary and
as involving a useless sacrifice of life. B y
the first of April there will be a praotioal ces
sation of hostilities in the Southwest, and by
the first of June a permanent peace unless
the Black Republicans determine to wage a>
war against thb Northwest.”
The above statements comprise substantial
ly the information we have derived. Our in
formant seemed to entertain little doubt Indi
ana and Illinois, at least, would fall into the
Confederacy, along with Missouri and Ken
tucy. - He thought it was also tbe destiny of
Ohio, but seemed less confident of that State.
Whether these States should belong to the
Confederacy or not, he had no doubt at all of
the foundation of a Northwest Empire, in
the event of their exclusion from the South,
Running the Blockade from Mexico—Im*
tnence Amount of Goods Sent into Tex
as—Cotton Rxjiorted Therefrom.
A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from New Orleans, Bays private let
ters received there state that an immense
commerce is earriei on by the rebels across
the Texas border. This trado is by no means
confined to the Mexicans; bat hundreds and
thouB&nds of speculators from the North and
from other countries are reaping a rich har-
ce;t of wealth by.supplying the rebels with
goods contraband of war, and by taking in
exohange cotton and money The Mexicans
are hostile to the Southern Confederacy; but
the Mexican Government is powerless to pre
vent this immonse trade, which has already
assumed colossal proportions. One of the
letters, written from Monterey, says:
Whiro is Colonel Hamilton ? If in New Or
leans, tell him the rebels are buying up ev
erything that can be oaten, or worn, or used,
to kill Union men. It i3 astonishihg to sea
the enormous quantities of goods that go from
here into Texas. Millions of dollars worth of
cotton is sold here monthly, all of which is
sent back to the rebels by their agents here in
the shape of powder, lead, ooflee, blankets,
shoes, rope, sugar, cotton goods of all kindB,
and, in fact, everything that can be used by
the army. An order is here now for six hun
dred thousand rebel blankets, all- of which
can be had, and with a sufficient amount of
money to pay for them.
Agents are on the frontier, and as fur in
the iuterior as San Louis Potosi, buying all
the wheat and flour that ean be had, and are
sending it aoross tbe Rio Qraudo- daily. Moat
of the goods going from hete croBB the river
at Fort Duncan. * * * Until thia
trade is cut off Texas will uot feel the block

ggf» Lincoln has justjseoured another tri
umph of his peculiar doctrines, in a covert
way, the i Sect of which Buccess it will take
the people of the North some time to become
aware of and understand, but once' under
stood, will raise still greater indignation than
now exists against him and his policy. A
treaty has just been ratified with the [negro]
Republic of Liberia which provides that “Li
berians [African negroes] coming into the
United States, shall enjoy the rights and privil
eges which are or may be granted to any other
foreigners, subjects or eitUens of the most favor
ed nation.” This at onee places the negroes
of Liberia upon a level with the emigrants
from any other nation—France, England,
Germany or Ireland—and entitles them to tbe
benefits of the naturalization laws. As the

Capture or a Gunboat on the Arkansas
—YVe learn, from the most undoubted authority,,
that after the surrender of Arkansas Post, by
Colonel Churchill, the Federab sent one of their
best light-draught gunboats up the Arkansas,
rivtr, to moke a reconoisance, wish a view lo
an attack npon Little Rock. After ascending
tbe river a considerable distance, the gunboat
was surrounded and attacked by a Confederate
gunboat and two cotton-clad armed transports,
and was captured and taken to Littlo Rock —
Two large boats were started in pursuit, but.
their draught of water was too gieat, and they
had to return.—Jackson (Miss.) Crisis, inn inst,.
