The theory of an equilibrium between one deacription of public debt and another—be* tween Treasury notes and Call certificates— recommended in the Report, is t > be effected, in part, by “requiring,” in other words, co ercing tbe Banks to receive Treasury notes and “none other" (we presume on deposit) and, at the same time, to compel them to re ceive them in payment of ali dues. If this theory were practicable it would b> attended, aa we have said, by the disregard of another equilibrium for more important, that of the value of tbe Confederate currency as compared with foreign currencies, while,.at tbe same time, it snggeBte a breach of faith between the States and the Banks which have char tered them with the privilege of issuiog notes. A few of tbe Slates have Banks themselves. Such a recommendation, if carried out, might bring on a conflict of jnrisdition be tween the States.and tho Confederacy, lead ing to unpleasant consequenocs, as the States are more or less interested, through large classes of tbeir citizens, in the maintenance intact of those institutions. But the theory is founded Gn the assump tion, that it is possible to regulate the curren cy through the agency of public credit, while it is through the abuse of public credit that the currencies of countries have beoome vitiated. History is full of examples. It was the abuse of public credit that produced tho French Assignats, and the depreciation of the currency of our revolution. It wbb the abuse of public credit that lod to the sus pension of specio payment by the Bank of England in 1797, and the consequent depre ciation of the British currency, for it is ad mitted on all hands that tbe heavy advances by the Bank to the Oovernment, on account of two Austrian loans in 1795 and 1797 with other advances, contrary to the repeated re monstrances of (he .Bank led to .tho suspen sion. It was tho abuse of public credit in our war of 1812 whjeh led to the disorders in our curreuoy at that period when U. S Sixes were at G8 for 100, and Treasury notes carrying interest were at 20 per cent.-dis- couut. Finally it is the abuse of public credit that renders the Confederate currency not worth moro than., three or four to one when ' exchange i for gold, bringing the two periods of the last war between the United States and England an l the presont war into close parallel, then as now there being ne adequate system of taxation to support public credit. It forms a curious commentary on these facts, that a theory should be brought forward iu the Senate of the Confederacy to regulate the currency by that which requires regula tion. The remarks of the Report on Foreign Ex change, in connection with its proposed equil ibrium, embrace contradictory conclnsions. The equilibrium is to substitute Treasury Notes and Call certificates for gold and silver as oorrency, and yet, sayB the report, “when the rate of Foreign Exchange acts against ns, we can send our specie abroad, and still have a currency suficient for domestic purposes, Now as paper money iB to supersede Specie, it will of course displace it, being the cheap er currency. From what sonree will then be derived the specie “to isend abroad and suffi cient also for domestic purposes ?” Assuming that by the system of reciprocal checks, there would be conversion of Treas ury Notes into Call certificates and re-conver.- sion Of Call certificates into Treasury Notes, so as to restore the balance when disturbed it is further taken for granted that this new bal&nco-wheel of the currency, will never be • subject to jars from the over action of the government. No estimate is mada of this disturbing force. Should the government bo polled lie overstrain its credit—should it be forced to usue^. paper money in its most convenient fonfi, perhaps, in 'that of Treas ury Notes, a slight derangement may end in almostdislocation. "There can be noealeu lotion made of the amount ot the disturbance when every thing is left in the discretion of the government, under a paper system, and its sole rule of notion should be its wants and necessities. This is the settled opinion of the most trustworthy authorities ou the subject. The grouuds^are^not distinctly stated for the opinion expressed in the Report, that one hundred and seventy-five millions of dollars of Confederate Notes can be made to circulate where one hundred millions of Bank notes were sufficient before the' war. They are stated to be, 1. The quantitygof speoie.iu cir culation in the Sooth before the war, the place of which would be occupied by Confed crate Nstes. 2d. The Bills of Exchange that repre ented domestic transactions. 31. The offsets at Clearing Houses. With regard lo the quantity of specie in circulation in the South, it is doubtful whether it ever exceed ed fifty millions of dollars. The whole quan tity in circulation in the United States about the year 18G0 was estimated at one hundred and ninety millions of dollars,and if we com pute one fourth of this amount for the specie circulating in the Confederate States, It would be as near an approximate estimate as can be reached. As regards Domestic bills of Exchange, they no more constitute a pan of the currency than do Depositsra Bunk, payable at a future day, but if they formed part of the currency, it is probable that domestic transactions will be on as large a scale in the South after as be fore the war. In relation to offsets they may be more limited at the South than at the Worth from the more restricted transactions of Southern Banks. They consequently were of very lit tle Influence in economising the use of specie at the South- That these eircumstanoes, in their combinod influence/giving them all their imputed effect, would enablo the circulation of the Confederate States to absorb seventy- five per rent, more Confederate notes than Bank notes before the war is inconceivable.— It wiU be recollected that there will be a com petition, if not a struggle, for the circulation between the- issuers of Bank notes and the issuers of Confederate notes, and that if we allow the circulation to be equally shared be tween them, there will be room for no more than one hundred millions of Confederate cur rency, if we intend it shall be on that level of value with the currencies of foreign countries that will not throw on our people the burth ens of an unfavorable foreign exchange. The final conclusion from this Report is that it is as unsonnd in doctrine as it strikes a serere blow at public credit, from its recom mendations that would, if carried into effect, seriously impair the good faith of the Con federacy. " C. gS'Some days ago we published a short ac count of an investigation before a magistrate in this city, in which Major R. A. Crawford was charged with robbery—the nature of the al (edged offense being tbe seizure of a let of bcavea by him without authority. Our short paragraph was complained of as being erroneous and at varianco with the facta in several respects. We published ihe state ment exactly as we received it, and knew noth ing of it except as it was represented to us. On these complaints beieg made at our office, we resolved to find' ont and publish the real facts the whole truth. We accordingly procured from Col. Ilaiqmond, who was an attorney for one of the parties, a transcript of the evidence and other matters before the court at the time of tha trial, which we lay before our readers to-day.— We have inquired fully into the affair, and find the truth of the case to be about as follows: McMillan & Landers are partners, and keep a market in this city. Mr. McMillan of this firm, went into npper Georgia and purchased eleven beeves for their own use, to slaughter and sell to their customers at their own stall, and not to be put upon the market as beeves.- 'Phcy were driven upon the scales at the market house to be weighed, and from there to a field where McMillan & Landers keep any sur plus beeves they have on hand. At this latter point they were seized. Maj. Crawford has a contract for furnishing beef to the hospitals in this city. It appears that he had no beeves on hand at that time with which to fill his contract and supply the hospi tals. We learn that that he applied to Mr. Mc> Millan while the cattle were at the scales, to purchase-them, which he refused to do, saying they were not for sale, but to'be butchered. Our previous statement was that the beeves were seized, after the regular market price w; offered and refused. Wc learn that the regular market price, or what.could have been obtained tor them very readily, was not offered, by a cent and a half per pound—though two and a half cents per pound more than was allowed on set tlement afier the seizure, was offered, in trying to purchase them. Major Crawford, as wc said, had no beeves to fill his contract, and the hospitals had not day’s supply on hand. After failing to purchase the beeves, he reported the facts to Col. Lee who, we learn, gave him a verbal order to seize them, and a couple of men from, the Gnard were detailed to take them under Major Crawford’s direction, which was done. The written orders appended to the transcript of the evidence, as furnished ns, were given after the suit was commenced, to be introduced into court, if ne cessary, to substantiate ihe-verbal order given previously. I.t is proper to say that alter the beeves were seized, they became the property of the govern ment and not of Major Crawford ; though' the Commissthry of the Post loaned them to him to fill his contract for the time being—to supply the hospitals—Major C. being obligated to re turn that amount of beef to the Commissary for army purposes, without expense. Whether Maj. Crawford could have prevented the necessity of this seizure by timely and cn ergetic efforts to procure beeves to fill his con tract, we do not know, nor pretend to say. He alleges that he used every possible exertion to procure them and failed. Whether he effered the common price for beeves in alihisefforts to procure them, and then failed, we do not know. It however appears that heRid not offer the mstket price fev those seized, and out of which the trial grew. These are the facts and circumstonces bearing on the case, as we have: been able to ascertain them. We beleive them to be corrert. We ofa ier no comments, and have nothing to say on the merits of the case either way; we only present the facts, and allow every reader to form hie own conclusions. If there should be any error in any of the foregoing statements, we will take great pleas ure in correcting it, if any one will show it. If Our statement of facts are correct, aa we beleive they are, our columns are now closed oajhis subject. The State, ) ' !t r*. . !_ Charged with the offense . A. Cranford & j of Robbery. James B. Clay. J V In the above stated case the Warrant Lutted- on the nineteenth day of February, 1303.— E. Landers prosecutor. Tho parlies being under arrest, came before the Court for in quiry as to the probability of guilt, and the case was postponed until tho 25th day .of February, 1863, at 10 o’clock,A. M.; when the parties again appeared and each announced ready for trial. AmosW. Hammond, for the State. Hill, Hoyt and Hon. Dennis F. .Hammond, for the defendants. The State introduced the Prosecutor, who testified as follows: Question—Are yon engaged in keeping one of the markets in this place ? Answer—I am, and am paying license to the city for this privilege. Q. If you were lately tho owner of any beeves which were taken away from you,state how many, wh'en and where they wore taken/ how taken, and their value. A. Me and Mr. McMillan here owned eleven, beeves as partners. They were bonght by *him in Cherokee, in which he was engaged about two weeks. When the beeves ar rived here wc drove them 'to the market to be weighed, and the scales being ont of order, wc called two or three of the market men to say what they wonld weigh; and I then, ac companied by a man from whom pari of the boeves bad been purchased by my partner, drove the beeves to an inclosed field which vro hod been using for securing our beeves when we did not wish to kill them immediately. This inclosure belonged to Mr. Peters and was about ono mile or a little over from the] market My market was near to Mrs. Pond ers. Just as wc bad got them in. tho inclosed ground, up rode the defendant, Crawford • in ' sweeping gallop, and said, “stop them) Atlachcd to that paper was another issued j Cargo Sale of the Steam Ship Havelock-Direct by CoL Lee, as follows: -from Europe. Col. B. A. Crawford was duly authorized |}Y JOHN G. MILNOR & CO., for tho same purpose by the Commissary General, and furnished by mo with a file of men to execute tbe order. G. W. LEE, Commanding Post.” Those papers could not have influenced the judgment of the Court, if they had been ad mitted or admissible, because the offense charged was proven to have been on tho 14lh of Febuary, 1863, and Clay’s order was dated on the 20lh Febosry, 1863, and Crawford’s order was not dated; nor did either show any Authority; which was according to law, if they both had boon granted before tho al leged taking. The Court no doubt decided from tho evidence before him that there was no criminal intent shown, and he no doubt thought that no crime had been committed. As far as I know or beliovo this is a fair, full, and complete atatemont of tho whole case, substantially, and I give it at your re quest that the public may not be misled by a report of this case in your paper, as fur nished from Borne other source, so widely' dif ferent from the facts.

C., with a view of Glorious News from NorthwK3T*an.Vir ginia.—Our information, derived from a re liable source, is of the most encouraging character from Northwestern Virginia. - The downtrodden, gallant freemen of that section are about asserting their might and majesty by denonneing the corrnpt tyrant at Wash ington. At a large and overwhelming meeting, of the citizens in mass meeting, assembled in Wheeling, under the very nose of the Wash ington tyrant, 8herrard Clemmons, ex-mem ber of C(ingress, denounced Lincoln in a withering speech for two hours, which elicited unbounded applause from the large crowd present. So says tbe Wheeling Intelligencer, an Abolition organ publishes in Wheeling. Oae hundred and four young men from Cal houn county have arrived in Stannton to en list for the war in the Confederate service.— Knoxville Register, Mar. 4Ik. fW Rev. Dr. Palmer, the celebrated war preacher of New Orleans, is teaching a theological school in South Carolina. la?" Hon. Presley Spruance, formerly U. S. Senator from Delaware died on the I 113th inst., aged 78 years. ’ » for the government.” At that time Mr, Clay galloped up, and ^seemed to rejoico that he had overtaken the beeves. At that time on foot come up two other men with guns., (Here it was objected by judge Hammond j that the prisoners wished to he tried sever ally. A. W. Hammond, for the prosecution, objected that it was too late ; that they ought to have made the motion to sever before the trial commenced. The defendant’s 'counsel moved then to sever, and on argum4pt the motion was overruled, and the witness was ordered to proceed.) State’s connsel asked: “were the beeves tak en by your consent, or were they tai.en by force, and under fear of intimidation^ Answer—Of coarse 1 could not resist that many men, and two of them with guns, and I thought if they wore pressed for tits gov ernment they had a right to take I left there and they drove off the beov-i — It was on the 14th of this moiUb, iitiil*f& this county, where tha beeves were taken from me. Q. Did the defendants pay or offer to pay you for the beeves before or after the taking them ? A- They did not. •.'rose examined—Q. Did not Mr. Crawford your partner for the beeves? (Counsel for State interposed and requested the wit ness to state nothing but such lads, as he know from his own personal knowledge, and the Counsel for defendants said, “If the wit ness and partner McMillan, would remain in Coart, they would not ask for his sayings and the.Coart ruled out the sayings, or any matter between him and the defendants, un less the witness, Landers, was present.) Landers said he knew, of his own knowl edge, nothing about any offer to buy the beeves before they were taken, or ot any offer to pay for them, or paying for them be fore or since the taking; and bad told about| all he know about it,, but from hearsay. The witness was then asked if Crawford was not a Government agent, or if he was not furnishing beeves for the Government; and .witness answered, he had never exhibited to him any authority, nor had he ever heard him say that be was acting for thw Govern ment. All he knew about that, was what he said when he took the beeves, dud his uni form, but foom .hearsay, and that almost eve rybody you see, has some kind of uniform on and here the State closed ; and without in troducing any. testimony, defendant’s attor— nies moved to dismiss the warrant, on the ground that the State had failed to prove any value on .the beeves. This, was admitted and State’s counsel amoved the State to -re-open tha case and in troduce the witness. Defendant’s counsel ’objected. The Court overruled this objee tion, and the witness being rc-introduoed, proved the value of Beef to be 2(1 to 30 .cents per pound, and the whole as near as he could guess without knowing the weight or ,<what his partner gave for them, (and he had not told him) was'about $1,200 to $1,250; and here Again the Stale closed, and withouf introducing or attempting to introduce any timony, amotion was made by defendant's sel to the dismiss the warrant on ihe that there was no evidence to show, any inal intent,” “or any force or intimida any intention to steal," and on argument the Coart dismissed the warrant at the cost of the prosecutor. Finding no fault with tbe Court 1 will state that there was no evidence before him show ing authority, unless it maybe supposed that, he was influenced by a paper which wap. placed on his table on the day the case was first called up and postponed as aforesaid, & [copy of which hqpe follows: “Hd’qrs Military Post, l Atlanta, Ge., Feb. 20, 1863. / Special Order, No. 17. .
