M-mBB PiHHT PAGE.1I Examination of General Greta’* Flan of Finance- NUMbIr IV.. ; it U one qf tbe conduriona of General Green ibat the inSmenie public debt of England is easily borne by the people of that country be cause they are themselves the “debtors as well as the creditors," and the immense sums paid by them as taxes are received by them as divid* ends* In his pamphlet containing (he proceed ings of the Macon Convention appears the fol lowing passage: “This fact is so important as illuatrating the capacity of an industrous and intelligent peo ple to absorb a domestic public debt that we give a table, showing the number of persons entitled to receive dividends on the public debt of the United Kingdom, which proves that, large as that debt is, it has has been absorbed and is held by the masses—by the persons of small in comes—by the people, who have placed their surplus earnings in that fund, as a safe and per manent investment, and who have thus become inte'ested in the stability of the government. 1 The fallacy involved in this reasoning lies in assuming that because a large debt is u domes'ie debt, and is due from one portion of the people to another, it is less an incuptbrance than if due from the same people to a foreign country.. If England bad borrowed capital abroad for pro ductive purposes, or one portion of her people had borrowed' capital iro n another, no question could arike as to the beneficial effect of such an operation; But the inode or manner in which the capital is applied makes all the difference in the result. The British debt represents a capital wasted, much the greater part of it, in war, and had been drawn from the people in taxes. If the sums thus abstracted 'from pro ductive employments in taxes, and distributed as dividends, a part may be reasonably supposed to be returned to the channels of productive em ployment, but much the larger part is unpro ductive^ expended’, while the portion expended productively has been diminished by the charges incidents! 'to. the collection sf taxes. But in whatever way the dividends may be employed the capital baa been irretrievably sank, and the people are annually taxed to pay the interest on the debt. Not only would there have been a larger fund for profits and wages, but there would have hoen a greater surplus for the main' icnance of a more numerous population, or the subsistence of the tame population in greater physical comfort. The income from the capital that has. been sunk would not have assumed the lo/arof dividends, but would have been'distrib uted td. a larger number of recipients. General Green adverts to the fact, familiar to those who have looked into these subjects, that a large number in England have invested their surplus earnings in the British funds “as.a safe and profitable investment, and who have thus become interested in the sta bility of the government." The evidence that if % large public debt exists, it is better that the proprietors of tho stock should be more than less numerous, is conclusive. It much more desirable that 498,152 persons who hold stock should be entitled to divi dends from $25 to $500, than that 42,104 per sona should hold stock entitling them to div- dends from $1,000 to $10,000 and upwards, bat this is not the principal purpose for which this' fact’has been cited.- ’It was to show connection between the large number of per sons in England receiving dividends of small sums on the pubUo debt, andj the proposition of General Green that the debtors were, the creditors—that the payers of taxes wero the receiver* of dividends, thus identifying them. If this were the case, it would only furnish another exemplification of the old saw, tak ing money out of one pocket to put into another. The same class are, however, not both “debtors and creditors”—the sums “paid by themselves as taxes, are not received by themselves as dividends." Some of the tax payers may be dividend receivers, but th6 much greater numb r of the peoplr are tax payers in another form than that of direct contributors to the Treasury in money. They are contributors,.as -producers or consumers, either in diminished profits, if the former, or - in the increased price of the taxed artiole, the latter, according to the ratio of demand to supply. It is not a question, therefore, be tween the payers of taxes and the receivers of dividends, but a question between tne re ceivers of dividends and the whole body'ot the British people. The rationale of this sub ject is-easily understood with a little atten tion. V ; -o = ■- The British Government issues offers for loan, we will suppose, of £10,000,000 at 5 per cent; per annum. This sum is borrowed and sunk, we will irasgine, in the expanses of wsr, or in any way that dors not reproduce the value destroyed. All the reproductive power which would have existed if the amount borrowed had found its way into the channels of produc - live employment is, ot course, annihilated. An additional sum of £300,000 is to be annually collected for interest. This would constitute a perpetual mortgage and lien on the whole in dusuy of the country. But this is not whole extent of the burthen or lost. It teaches not only tbe.tsx payers, but every mao, woman and child in the Kingdom, in the deprivation some portion of material comfort, according the degree of their wants or necessities, us suppose an increased Excise placed on Malt which being an important material ia the man- - niactbre.of Beer, almost a necessary of Ufa with the British working classes, must inevitably raise its prioe, unless the supply exceeds t demand, and then the tax tails on the Brewer _ the diminution of his profits. As the whole com inanity are included in the class either of pro ducers or cemsumers none can escape one or the other ol the imposts imposed, in one shape.or other, Excise, Direct lax or Duties. Now asihe receivers of dividends on the Public debt con stitute but a small proportion, however numerous, the whole community, it is easy to determine the truth ol General Green’s remark, that the xes levied In England to pay the interest on her Public debt, Ik a contribution “from them* selves to themselves”—that they are Loin "debt* or* and creditors,” in an identical sense. General Green adduces the l&rge number of deposits in the Savings Banks in Great' Bri tain, as an additional illustration of the read iness of the people to invest in the public stocks, at a low rate of interest, the number of depositors being 1,304,833, and the sum deposited, in 1855, being $181,315,075. The people who deposited their savings in tho Banks taking charge of them, had no option on the snbject, for Parliament took entire control of the deposits, and ordered them in vested in the public debt, if they had been invested in the shares of ibe Bank of Eng land, or those of the Joint Stock Banks, nearly the whole of them would have found their way to the general public for JVofitsble investment, at a higher rale of inters t than was received, bearing only 2 94 per cent 'that they had to aocept of a loner rate than they could have obtained, was not a volunta ry act, bat forced on them Bat the purpose for which General Green cites this circum stance, is to show that this large investment, with that made by other classes in the British public debt, affords a measure sbowiug how large a sum may be absorbed for a paper car reuey. It affords no such measure, and can not, in the nature of things. The only rela tion known and recognized between the quan tity of ourrenoy of any kind and its value, is that of demand—demand influenced by the number , of exchanges to be performed and payments to be made. There is no con ceivable connexion between these circumstan ces and the amount of dividends on a public debt, in whatever way those dividends may be distributed. Banking and the use of credit, as explained by General Green, will next engage our at tention. C. Our Special IUcliinon.il Correspondence.

The following bill was presented to Congress some time ago to regulate impressments when it became necersary. It has not yet Become a law: A Bill to b* entitled a* act to authorise and reg ulate impressment of private property for the use of the army and other military purposes. Section 1. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact: Any officer of the Confederate States, commanding a military dis trict or department, inty authorize the impress ment by an officer of a grade not lo-ver that! captain under special order, of property other than the property of a State of the Confederate States for the nse of the army or other military purposes, by order in writing, whenever he is satisfied that the same cannot be procured in due time, exept by impressment. Sec. 2. Where slaves are required to labor on iortificationS or other public works the im- E ressment shall be made in accordance with the iw of the State where they are employed and in the absence of such law in accordance with rules and regulations not inconsistent with iheproa visions of this set, to be prescribed Itiiiii time to time by the Secreniry af War: Provided, no impressment of slaves shall be made where they can be hired at the usual market rates. Sec. 3. In no instance shall any 'individual be deprived by impressment of tho amount of provisions required tor the comfortable wupptiri For his family, nor except under circumstances of extreme urgency, to be declared in the order of the commanding general, shall any individ ual be deprived of the grain, forage, slaves or other properly necessary for the use of his plantation. Sec. 4. In all cases of impressment, just compensation shall be made tor tbo property seized, whether the absolute ownership, or the temporary use' or hire only thereof is demanded. If the owner and impressing officer cannot agree upon the amount of such compensation, it shall be ascertained and determined bp the judgment of three loyal and disinterested freeholders of the city, county or pariah in which the impress ment is made; one to be eelected by the owner one by the impressing officer, and the third t be chosen by these two. The persons thus se lected, after taking an oath to appraise the prop erty impressed, fairly and impartially, which oath the impressing officer ia authorized to ad minister, shall proceed to assess the full value of the property seized, as well as the amount of cempensation for its tempoiary use or hire where that only is required : and also to deter mine upon the application- ol the impressing officer, which application is to be made only in extreme cases, what amount ol provision would furnish a liberal support for the family ol the owner. And it shall be the duty of such per sons to make out a certificate to be signed by all the parties, in which the violations herein provided for shall be declared, and the property impressed, where its temporary use or hire only is demanded, described' with such minuteness as to identify it,-and to deliver one copy thereof to the owner, and one to the impressing officer. Sec. 4. Where property has been impressed for temporary use or hire, and is lost or destroys ed witnout the fanlt of the owner, the Con federate States sh >11 pay the lull value thereof, as ascertained under the provisions of this set. If such property, when returned, has, in tlie opinion of the owner, been injnred*whilst in the public use, the amount of damage thereby sus tained shalL be determined in ' the manner pre scribed in the fourth section of thia act; the officer returning the property, being authorized to act on behalf of the Confederate States, and, upon such inquiry, the certificate of the value ot the property when originally impressed, s mil Le received as conclusive evidence thereof. Sec. 6. Any officer of the Confederate States impressing properly in violation of the provis ions of this aot. shall be liable to each punish ment as the military court of the district or de partment to which he be'ongs may in his dis cretion inflict, unless compliance with the re quirements thereof be prevented by the owner of the properly, or by the public enemy. And in the latter event the impressing officer shall he liable to the penalties of this section, unless he shall cause the property seized'to be appraised m the manner pointed out in this act as soon as practicable, or if this is impossible by reason of the occupation of the enemy, then by an ap praisement in the city, county or parish most convenient to that in which the property was impressed. A Righteous Judgment.—The examina tion of Capt. James W. Henley, of Acahf-tyt, V*., who shot and killed Robert A. StapVs, at Fararille, on the 27th of January, com menced before the County Coart of Prince Edward on Monday week, and waa eonolnde i on Wednesday last. The aceuied plead, d. fence of the killing, the aeduetiou of b wife by the deceased while ha was absent the service of his country. The evidence folly sustained the plea, and the court unset mously decided that the homicide was jnstifi able, and discharged accused. Oca Terms.—Daily, $12 per annum; Week ly. $4- Richmond, March 2,1863. The proceedings of Congress have been slow and unimportant during the past week. Indeed, it would almost-'seem that the war spirit had' not reached that august body yet ; au much time -s occupied in the introduction, discussion and uevitable rejection ot matters which might be supposed to have an 'object,'even it a personal one in time of peace, but have no earthly rele« vancyto the present pressing demands of the country. If Congress were to fix upon a day for adjournment;' say two weeks hence, more actual and necessary business would be trans acted, within that brief period, than is likely to be accomplished during six months in the pres ent “free and easy” mode of procedure. If members were to think more of the daily aug- ementing emergncics that are pressing upon us, from every quarter, and reserve for a more proper occasion such explanations as they may feel themselves bctpnd to make to their constit uents, much of the complaint that is heard would be immediately hushed. Again in tite Senate much preciohs time has Aeen wasted in lofty denunciation of the Press of the Confederacy, and resolutions offered and personal explanations paraded which are neither intcuded to nor could effect any possible legisla tion. Even a committee has been raised to report whether the Senate is not “tho highest legisla tive tribunal in the country," and as sach, whether it be consistent with its high character, to admit into its sacred sanctuary the represent atives of the Press at all t God knows how many days will be wasted in discussing the re port, should it ever come in, and yet, no legisla tion can oe framed or passed that can affect the subject matter in any degree. Indeed, if the committee will only do the sensible thing, they will report that the preamble is nonsense, and that resolutions would be suicidal, if adopted ; for indeed the Senate is not the highest legisla tive tribunal in the country. It is even denied some of the prerogatives of the House. Let Congress scout these petty subjects, and address itself to the present alarming state of the coun try and the condition of its defenses, or adjourn and go home. The Impressment bill is still under consider ation in the S nate. Mr. Hnnter, of Virginia, offered a substitute proposing the appointment ol three Commissioners—one by the President, one by the Governor of each State, and by these two, a third as umpire when necessary. These Commissioners shall lay off each State into Ap praisement Districts and announce every two months the ruling prices of all articles of sub sistence, or lontge. In case of difference between the owner and the impressing officer, an appeal lies to this board who shall fix the- prices. The expenses and salaries of these boatds are to be l>aid by the Confederate states: Oh Saturday ,Mr. Hunter desired to withdraw las substitute on the ground that it would conflict with a de cision said to have beeii given by the Attorney General in reference to the constitutionality of the mode of appraisement proposed, t herein.— The decicsion of the Attorney General was,that the Government was bound by the Constitution to give the market value lor property impressed at the time and at the place of impressment.— Mr. Hunter did not concur in this decision, but he was unwilling to raise a question of Consti tutional right. The proposition' *o withdraw was objected to, and the whole subject was pass ed over to give way to the bill, to provide and organize an Engineer corps to. serve during the war. Mr. Miles very properly reported back from the Military Committee a bill (introduced by Mr. Machen, of Kentucky,) entittled an Act for tbo acceptance ol troops Irom Kentucky and Missouri for a term of service less than three years—namely one year, and asked that the Committee he discharged from its further cbn- eideration. The bill, Mr. Miles was ii\at{uqied to say, would bo impolitic and unjust. Mr. Machen, in reply, said that men who had come out of Kentucky to join the Confederate army, when they found they had to serve three years, turned their backs and went home. And a pretty home they had to go to. There are but two thousand Yankee troops stationed at Frankfort, ami yet the conventi-m that recently met there, •impt-i »< d and sent to their homes by a ■el and his staff! Crittenden still rules Kentucky. When they are ready to’ he free, then, perhaps, they may be willing to raise thcr right arm, and expel the usurper. But I* fear the time is not yet. The bill reported by Mr. Gartrell in the House, providing for the more thorough investigation of matters referred to Soeciat Committees, and to punish false swearing befo'e them, wia, on motion of that gentleman, taken up and passed. 1 ought to have stated in nty last that the name of the young gentleman whose gallant deed in one of the battles before Richmond, I then recored, is Eugene Bibb Anderson, a grand nephew of the Tate Chancellor Bibb, ol Ken tucky. I give his names as the future historian will need it. Mr. Barksdale introduced an important bill empowering the President to suspend the habeas corpus in any town, city or military district where the public may require it, but to be applicable only to military arrests, for offences against the Confederate States.— Though the rules were not suspended, which require a two third vote, it received a major ity of fifteen votes. When it comes up’in regular order, it may stand a fair chance of -being passed. A bill has been introduced, and could the rules have been suspended, would have passed the House, giving the Clerks in the Ladies’ Bureau five dollars a day. Most of those Ladies thus employed are the wives, daughters or sisters of gentle men employed in the Executive Departments; while the wives and daughters of our splliers in the field work their finger ends off on gov ernment clothing, for one fifty to two dollars a day. This would be classification with a vengeance. But I object to it because it would be the entering wedge of that crinoline influence in the Halls of Congress, which, in Washington, proved to be at once a scandal and a curse. CHEROKEE. jgy The following portion of an editorial from tho#ichmond Examiner of the 4th, so nearly acoords with tho views which wo have heretofore advanced, that we lay them before our readers: * - r While it was possible to regard the Union as a republic, governed by the representatives of the people, it was also possible to believe that the evils of wsr would create a parly among the people, lhat would force the Gov- . V Is eiwmfffla nn rp.HSOn- ernment to terminate the struggle on reason able terms and within®a limited time. But now tbst tbo Government has rendered itself entirely independent of tho people and «» representatives, now that the last relto of the Republican Constitution has been abolished, and absolute power declared by Congress and proclaimed by the press to have been openly substituted, it is beyond question that the duration of ibe war depends on the will ot Lincoln and his conselloro. None need be told lhat these men cannot and will not con sent to any terms of peace. Setting aside considerations of passion, it is enough to know that Lincoln has been invested, with sovereign power over one of the greatest countries of the world, on the expressed ground that ho will destroy the Southern people, and take their property for distribu tion among his followers. The moment he departs from this purpose, the sword and purse will drop from his hands, and he will he torn to pieces by his own dogs Therefore, while be stands on the bad eminence where he is now placed, he will fight us with an in veterate determination and with unohangabie cruelty. While Lincoln is President-dictator, and the North contains a man or a dollar, they will be used to carry on the war. It is certain that the war will last' as long Lincoln's Government. How long will thaL be? Those who suppose that his term is ne cessarily limitel to the 4th of Maroh in the year 1865, are indeed a simple people. Lin coln has. been made Dictator because a Con gress has been elected which was opposed to tis will. That Congress is annihilated by this coup de’etat. Can any -one doubt that a popular election, which would be certain to replace Lincoln with a ruler of different prin ciples could and would be prevented, or ren dered inoperative, with cq tal ease and oer laiuly ? It is the first step only, that costs. The first siep has been -made with perfect sucres.— The second will be made in time. The ear vants of this monarch represent to the populace that they are secure against such perpetuation ol his power by his entire want ot ambition the simplicity and homeliness of his character Did any usurper ever seize a throne without similar protestations l Lincoln repeats by his pimps ol themreaa, the very language of Crom- tlzi “ A Negro RegimenI in Virginia.—We learn from an intelligent gentleman who succeeded in makingnis escape from Win chester that General Milroy—who is in command of the Federal forces in that department—has actually in service a regu larly organized and enrolled regiment of negroes, abont 600 strong. This, no donbt, suits the natural taste of Milroy, and is but in keeping with the barbarity of the. system of warfare which he has been carry ing on in the valley. Our informant also states that Milroy continue-£his system of terrorism. Not satis fied with stripping* the people of their property, he has lately sent his wagons ont to scour the country and bring in all ne groes that can be lound, seizing all the meat and provi ions on the farms for their subsistence, and whatever other booty they can carry off. Many of the largest farmers have been thus robbed of their slaves. It is to be greatly deplored that our Govern ment can extend no adequate protection to this unfortunate section of the country, which has not only been scourged by the ravages and devastation of war, but whose people have, been subjected to every con ceivable Outrage and atrocity of the ene my. At the time our informant left—some eight or ten days ago—General Milroy bad his headquarters at Winchester.—Rie/untmtl Examiner, Mar. 2. Subscribe for tbe Confederacy. well, modernized to the capacity ol his subjects A temporary dictator ! What man in modern history has gained by force or fraud the posses sion of absolute power and laid it down of his own choice i But one thing will end the reign of Lincoln— violence—force—revolution. It the Northern States regain their- their liberty in this genera, tion they will do so by an appeal to anna,which can only be successful because Lincoln is not Cromwell, not Napoleon, not even a Francis ; but a fool and a coward who has undertaken “a job" for which he is incompetent. That tbe Northern people will make that effort is in the last degree improbable. The unanimous servil ity with which this consummation of an organic alteration oi the government has been recieved, may not prove that it is universally liked by the country, but it does that the spirit ot the nation is reduced to such a temper that it is fit for slav ery and incapable of resistance to a master.— Hereafter, when the grinding tyranny of arbi trary power comes to be generally felt, there will be spasmodic attempts at revolt, They will be suppressed by terrible executions, bloody massacres, and procriptions. This has been the course of such things in all other times and in all other countries. Why should it not haps pen so here t Already the population oi New York is disarmed. Adversaries whose feud is endless and whose bate is immortal, now grapple oh this continent A Republic andan Absolute Monarch, a Gov- ernmen by Law and a Government by Arbitrary Power, have a death hold on each' other. The South can survive only by adhering to its organic principles. The moment the Executive ol the Confederacy is converted into an imitation of tbe dictator ot Washington, and the the Gov* ernhlent becomes a despotism like [that of Lin coln, the struggle becomes a matter of mete physical force, and the South will sink. Let us keep our liberty and prepare lor battle. Military Movements in Northern Vir ginia.—On Wednesday last, Brigadier General Filzhugli Lee, with detachments from the 1st 2d and 3d Virginiajcavalry, numbering five hundred men, crossed the Rappahannock seven miles above Fred ericksburg, and fell upon a cavalry encamp ment at Hartwood church. The enemy wero dispersed with little resistance, and were pursued until they found refuge be hind a heavy'body of their infantry, our men killing, wounding and taking prison ers upwards of 200 of their number. Our troops then beat a retreat, bringing off their prisoners and a number of horses, and having loBt in the affair only one man and one wounded. One hundred and fifty of the .prisoners among whom were two captains and three lieutenants, were brought to this city on Saturday. They represent six different regiments of cavalry and the 14th Massachusetts infantry. pn the same day, General William E, Jones commanding a brigade in the valley, attacked and routed two brigades of the enemy at Edinburg, forty miles from Win chester, killing one hundred and taking between three and-five hundred prisoners. In this charge the Yankees are said to have offered but the feeblest resistence, and to have surrendered with evident feelings of satisfaction. Hardly had the attack been made than their white handkerchiefs were seen flapping in the wind, and the fire of our men arrested by this miniature display of the “white flag.” It is said that nothing can exceed the demoralization of their army, and that their men are so dis affected and disgusted with the war, that they refuse to fight. The promptness aud alacrity with which this party besought the immunity of the “white flag" would go to confirm the stories we have of their demor alization.—Eichmond Examiner, March 2. After all tne repots and rumours we have had of Hooker’s army ‘‘changing its base," it is now believed that the bulk and strength of its forces are yet above Fred ericksburg. It has been ascertained that material subtraction has been made from the army operating there, and that, with the exception of 15,000 men—sent to some unknown point—the Yankee force is quite as strong and formidable in numbers as it has ever been. This gives a now place to the situation about Fredericksburg, and will again make that old borough the centre of interest.—Bichmrxd Examiner Mar. 2/- ’"V; ' ‘ From the Mobile Tribune.

We ran in here this morning to coal, and ac cording to the Queen’s proclamation, will have to leave by to-morrow morning. _ so you se© one has little time to do anything at all. So far we have been very successful in our depredtions on Yankee commerce. We have burnt three brigs and their car goes, and had not the rascals hugged the coast of Cuba so close, could have captured a dozen more at least. One brig that we burnt seven miles from the coast, fan dead before the wind into the harbor of Car denas, and I. am fearful it may cause some complication between ourGovernment and that of Spain. We have already gone through a great many perils and doubtless there are many more in store for us, but we have a very fast and powerful little ship, and in any event I feel that she can give a f ood account of- herself. The chase from Cobile was fruitless on the part of the enemy, though the Oneida and the C'uyler did their best. We passed the Brooklyn or sdme vessel of her class, but fortune so favored us that she did not notice u3, though at that moment the Oneida was about five miles astern in hot chase. You know we went out of Mobile bay at 3:30 o’clock, a. m., 16th, under a bright star light. There was a moderate wind from the E. W. I suppose we took the'Yankees by surprise, as we brought all three ot them on the bar to bear abaft the beam, before they signalized each other and at the instant they burnt their blue lights, we let fall oiir canvass and sped away at the rate of sixteen miles per hour, which soon carried us* Out ol reach of them all. The third day out we burnt a beautiful brig, laden with sugar and molasses, bouud' to Boston, and subsequently we captured and burned two more, laden with the same. There is probably a very brilliant cruise before us, aud as there are more places than one in the world where New England can be ipjured, there is no telling where we may be next. I ain in hopes that we will make a descent on the Northern coast and burn some of their towns, and wreak retribution on them, in order to pay for devastated sugar and cotton plantations It is stirring to be in the vicinity of so many large men of war, and feel that we can depend alone on our speed, aiid.we know that our deeds have to be daring to be effectual. |aP”A Windfall.—A poor carpenter, named Cyrus Holmes, living in Platteburg, Ohio, has lately fallen heir to a property in Westchester county, N.
