ATLANTA, GEORGIA: TUESDAY, MARCH 10,1863. .AlIMvW DAILY *‘IHC"UTHW IS THE 8TATE. HEE K'lKST Kxamlualion of General Green’s Plan of Finance—Pobllc Credit—Banking. NUMBER V. General Green quote* the authority of Mr. Calhoun in ihia sentence, “that an iaaue ol pub* tic credit, under wise regulation forbidding an over it tut, *u the cheapest and best form of onr currency.” The w^trds jn italic* form the very , point in dispute. It is because no regulations have been devised, or can be devised, effectual in forbidding an over issue, that renders public credit an ufisafe instrument for the purpose.— The same remark is applicable to the quotation from Mr. Ricardo. This writer says, ••// litre were perfect security Hat tie power of issuing pa per money would not be abused ; that is if there were perfect security for its being used in such quantities as to preserve its value relatively to the mass of circulating commodities nearly uni* form, the precious metals might be entirely dis carded from'circulation.” The same qualificas lion meets us here ss in the quotation from Mr. Calhpun.* We have alfesdy in our remarks on the Re port of the Finnnro Committee of the Senate, considered the effect of employing the agency of public debt in regulating the currency,, strengthening our, argument by numerous ex amples of the al»uae of that credit. We can add nothihg to that reasoning or the force of those examples. General Green quoies a passage from Colville’s work “on the Ways and Means of Payment,” in continuation of his views on the efficacy of credit generally. We have read Mr. Colville’s work, and although: he exagger ates the utility of credit,and the uses to which the money of account may be turned,hi the adjustment and settlement of balances, it is an able publics ti"n. The two paasages which General Green quotes from “the Ways and Means of Payment” confirm the opinion that-Mr.. Colville exagger ates the utility of credit. To exemplify the ef ficacy of caadit, he state* that tho monthly pay ments of New York were little less than $900, 000,(XX) from January to August, 1857, and that during that time the average amount of specie in the Batiks was under $12,000,000, the deposits averaged $5,000,000 and the circulation $8,000,- 000. It is apparent then (he continues)' that $103,000,000 ol bank nates and deposits effected by the aid of the books of the Banks, payment of not less than $30,000,000 daily, whilst ihe $12,000,000 of specie in the Banks scafcely tnov- , ed at all.” In a subsequent part of the passage he makes the following statement: “In August 1857, the loans of the New York Banks amount ed to $122,000,000 and the deposits to $94,000,- 000; in the middle of Octoser the-loans had fal len to $97,000,000 ar d the deposits to $52,000,000. Thus the Banks were compelled to withdraw Ironi the public $86,000,000 of paper currency to keep $12,000,000 in their vaults.” The proper inference from these facts was ’that theye hhd been a groks abuse of Bank cred it, ftom the undue extension of loans and the smallness of the specie reserve compared with immediate liabilities, the deposits and circula. Hon together amounting to $219,000,000. the immense disproportion between the specie re serve and the immediate liabilities being seen at a glance. This was as great an instance of the abuse ot Bank credit as any. recorded in the History ot'Eanking. The general suspension of specie payn>rn-s was the consequence of this nbuae. It had its origin in the city of New Yoik, and involved the whole country, ink pe riod of peace, in the disgrace of this, suspen ston. Another conoiusion front this statement ts that the large amount of the iraoeattisns at the Clearing House, is no evidehoe ot t s le gitimate business, bat a proof of the great magnitude of commercial transactions in con- t quince of abuse of credit. If credit bad not passed its proper limits the scale of cummer cial operations would have been much reduced to what it was, and tho clearings would have been much more limited f Whether this abuse of credit may uot have feon traced to the pu lie, it.would be difficul to <l<Meiinine. Speculative action, which de termini-s ihat tf Bapka, sometimes has its source in a disqpaed condition of the public gjind, aud Banks partake of’the speculative mania, whioh becomes contagions. There is . then, action and reaction between the Banks and the pub its. - These institutions are some times the pa.ant, bu*- more often the nurse of speculation. When there is a plethora of moneyed capita', whicu hods i;s way into Banka, in the lot in ot deposits, these institu tions are inclined to ttfer tacili.ics to borrow *ud, if at such periods there is' any tendency in the jublio mind to speculative excitement, these facilities minister to it. Toe B-uiks and the community, particularly the mercantile portion of it, sot and react on eaoh other. Tho ret nil is very, often seen in »o great an abase ot .credit at to lead to great expanaiona aud thou to ruinous contractions, and finally to bankruptcy, and the suspension of spcc.e payments. M c shall next take into view the most ex- - I’ eill *pt methods ot real raining within due tiiuit* Bank credits, and preserving the sys tem of mixed cumncy, coin aud paper, in as • condition as is practicable.

We hope the convention will be held and that will be well represented from every State. While on the subject, we have a suggestion to make to the Convention, .if it should meet, in relation to text hooka for schools and colleges. Tbero has always been a uonble and always will be, from the great diversity of text books in use, and the preference of one teacher for a certain kind and another for another kind, while, all admit the propriety of uniformity in a school. As it is and has been, the parents are put to the expense of buying new text books every lime they get a new teacher.. Now we proposo that the convention ap point a committee) ot competent Southern men to get up proper Southern text books, and every teacher in the Confederate StatoB obligate himself to use -them find no others, for the spaoe of live .years. Then make an arrangement with the publishers of the Con federate States to publish and keep- lbrt gale these authorized text books, and no others at certain pride, for five, years At the end of-five years, let the convention of teachers' appoint another committee to revi-e and im prove the text books or adopt new ones, re ceiving and considering suggestions from all who may feel inclined to give them, and 1st publishers for five years more, publish e new series, aad no others; aal so. on Iu this way the great iflfficuUy •’arising from the numerous text books and the varie ty of preference in teachers, and the useless expenditures for new books for the children every year, will be avoided. . .

Food, and particularly tin at, scarce. There is not enough meat in the Confederate States to feed the army and people, and bread is scarcer than many suppose. If wo have a good wheat crop, we shall have plenty of bread. If however the wheat should tail, or be short, we shall have a scarcity ol bread. Last year wa'e excessively dry and crops were every where cui short. -If-it should be as dry again this year ss last, we idiall be reduced to strai's. . * These ate facts. We deem'it our . duly to speck them plainly. We would not say it to cream ticedUbs alarm The great and pressing necessity to raise large crops ot coni and make every poand of meat that, is possible never was in this country, equal to the present. Wc most earnest ry urge upon every farmer and every body who has a patch,ot ground, io put his whole force and his whole breadth of land to the rais ing of corm peas, beans, -potatoes—anything thki ijill make food tor man and beast. Cotton is important, but food is far more so. It will pay better to raise corn than cotton. Whoever raises the most corn and meat, will make the most mony ; lor however high the pri c that can be obtained tor cotton, it cannot equal that which corn and meat will bring. II yon love yonr country, plsnt corn. It yon want make money, plant corn and raise what pork you can. th< oilier B-ntu. sod cff,et their *r, »ud the fir ssd, ii;J:<>d,ol carrcwf The Times.—We have information from an Old acquaintance anil a reliable gentleman of- Nashville, that a friend oi his just from Uetrdet, son, Ky„ had crossed at Palmyra and slopped at a house close to a wood landing, when forty- seven transports of the enemy came up, protec ted by three gunboat*. In conversation with the Yankees it was learned that the transports were filled with Seigles’ command from the army of the Potomac, and >bat each transport was expected to carry three hundred men and their baggage, bnl the actual number fell short, of this figure. However, the reinforcements numbered about 14,000. Previons-to this reins forcemeat, the enemy haAreceived about 12,000, making about 26,009 in all. Our informant thinks that it will take.these reinforcoments to protect thirty miles ot Rosencrana’ rear, so that ite can hardly advance yet w'ithout additional reinforcements. From the forces oi Roscncrans must, be de ducted 6,000 deserters since .the battle of Mur frees boro’. Save a little skirmishing all is qbiet in front, and with some reinforcement we see no cfiusc for an apprehension that our • army will fall back. - -„ The men and subalterns ol Rosencrans’ army say they will never make another such a fight ss they made at Murfreesboro-’—that "they were deceived in thinking.that most of onr best men were sent So'uth, and thst Bragg’s arm? was conscripts who would make no fight—that a lit tle skirmi-'hing would ednse the array to fall back, &x. We guess they were mislaken, and ihe world will yet learp that conscripts are as good fighters as any.

Mr. May represents one of the Baltimore districts in Congress, and his name has acquired a kind of distinction from the fact Of his being the successor of the noloriotjs Henry Winter Davis, having beaten that renegade, by a large majority, in the spring of 1SGI. This speech of Mr. May is marked by-no ability or force of thought, hut as an appeal for peace front the North it may be worth while to give its spirit in some brief extracts on iU?lcart ing points. v . Defining his own position, Mr. May said : I came to congress a representative of. peace and compromise and the determined adversary of military coercion. No party claimed my nomination. I entered th|s Hall a representative of conciliation.. I have opposed and voted against every measure of this war. Not a drop Of the blood of my countrymen rests upon me. . In alluding to the origin of the war, Mr. May 8aid-~ Our present national afflictions are the direct results of an intermeddling.sptrit at the North. -Over and over again have the slaveholding States 'argued remonstrated, appealed in every way, by every effort, to restrain the aggressive spirit of the North from these invasions, on its. rights of do mestic slavery; and though often passion has defied-and denounced its progress, reason has not failed to Use its persuasive >ower. • Compromise after compromise lias jeen made, in the hope of averting or postponing the evil day of apprehended* separation. - The convulsions' of these at tempts were the disregarded warnings of our present calamity. For years, for many years, have patient, though full statesmen, and patriots fropi North-and South, in most impressive lessons, warned our coun trymen, and predicted our present situa- ation as the inevitable result of these aggressions. Do not the feelings and mo tives that are signified in these measures now presented, and in the kindred tran sactions of Congress and the. Executive, give every true lover of Republican Govern ment the right to say that what was a rebellion against law now stands justified before God and the nations of the earth, as a revolution against the most direful'op pressions that have ever threatened man- dnd? Mr. May was bol(j in his denunciation of the employment ,6f negroes as soldiers in the army. Speaking of the bill author izing the organization of negro, regiments, he said: As an evidence of national policy, it is eminently disgraceful. Sir, it will fail, and the enlightened opinion of mankiud will pronounce upon the attempt a condign judgment. Go to your soldiers at Port Royal, New Orleans or Hampton, and ask them what they think of-this, and they will tell you that the effort to eeect the negro into a soldier is a preposterous exhibition of humar^tresumption and folly. The people recoil with abhorrence from a proposition that may lead to* such results. They are startled by it. The civilized, enlightened, and Christionized world will condemn to unmitigated scorn thfit legis lation which would plant oh our statute books a measure so infamous and infernal, yt >l the reconstruction of the Union, Mr; i_ .y said there was no hopel We quote his language'on. this point: '* ; ~ : I wish- to declare in' all candor, as ' 1 ought to. do, my settled conviction that the people of the Confederated " .States will never again consent to restore our political Union. I believe that’ their universal determination upon this point is. jin at* They will not again put their trust in the' guarantees of -a written constitution with the people of the North. They have tried it fairly, and it has.failed. It is folly now to expect it. The late Judge Douglas avowed tame in April preceedingjiis death, his Bolmn conviction that otif political uhion was at an eud; and ‘read me an elab orate essay, .in which he ascribed our f resent situtation to the aggressive spirit of forthern Abolitionism, and declared his conviction that the Union of our States as originally formed and maintained was finally destroyed. Of the hopelessness of this war, and in favor of peace, Mr,Ifay said: Inquire >what has been gained by the prosecutdon-of the war. With an enormous disparity of forces and resources in favor of. the Federal Government, are we nearer the end of the conflict then when we be gun? Besides the results of a few ineffect ual victories, the invasion of the enemy’s country, and the capture of New Orleans or less important towns, what has been done bat-to destroy or maim.thousands of lives, antkwaste and consume millions of property, and entail upon- ourselves and posterity the burdens of an* insupportable taxation ? What can this civil war accom plish T If the experience of the past may answer, it will exclaim ruin, r nothing but rain, fighting, •bloodshed, lamentation, desolation, anarchy, despotism. The judg ment of the impartial nations of Europe has already pronounced this war a failure. 1 am persuaded that the voice of all civil ized and disinterested men is now-on tho side of peace—peace on any terms consis tent with oiir liberties and honor. You may subjugate, exterminate the Southern people, botantdl yoa can tear out each living heaft, and throw it to the dogs,oi war, you can nev6r re-unite * them with«ffou in a political union. \ , In appealing .for peace Mr. May said:.
