We confess, Messrs Editors, that we are at a-
loss to understand the object of making the
abovo cash one of newspaper controversy ; and
but for the reason that the facts arc not iully
before the public, and-erroneous impressions are
likely to be made by the statements that have
lound their way into the, press, we should re
main silent-, particularly as we believe there to
be many reasons why a breach ought not to be
made between the government officers and the
people. Bui as we were of counsel in the case,
ami as there a e many facia of which the public
are not iulormed in relation to the case, which
have been communicated .to us and which we ate
informed are susceptible of abundant proof, we
feel called on to give a statement of the case.
Crawtord, Frazer & Co. were purchasing beef
for the government under contract. They had
employed as agents some ten or twelve persons
who were traversing the country in search of
beef cattle, and had used every effort to procure
the supply necessary, and had failed on that oc
casion ; and-on the morning tho seizure was
made, they had offered in the market ihiity-five
cents a pound fur beet, -issuring the holders that
there was not a pound in store ihaf could be fed
to the soldiers, and were refused and could not
buy a pound. „
Messrs Landers & McMillan had driven some
cattle into the market, either for sale or some
other purpose, where they were discovered by
Mr. Clay, who was the agent ol Crawford, Fra
zer k. Co. for the purchase of beef. Mr. Clay
immediately offered to purchase the cattle, offer
ing twelve and a half cents gross—the market
price ol catilo the preceding day.
The owtuirs refused to take it, when Mr. Clay
told them that he would go and consult the par
ties, and ascertain whether or not they would
pay more, which he accordingly did ; but in his
absence the cattle were driven off; information
ol which was^iumediatcly communicated to
Major CummiiijfT the Assistant Commissary
General, together with the additional fact that
there w as not a pound of beef in store, an 1 that
the soldiers were on bread. Major Gumming
then ordered the cattle seized, which seizure was
made through the agency of Major Crawford —
When the seizure was made, the Commissary
become the paymaster instead ol the contractor,
fpti thn nwnprs called—upon .thfl . clerk-of. the
Commissary Department and recieved ten cents
a pound gross fur ihe beef, that being the maxi

writes to the London Times concerning the
physical processor famine r~ \
\V hen famine destroys life iVmay do so
under two different conditions. Stoppage
of all food, such as that we have read of in
the case of the shipwrecked, brings on in
a short time a train of symptoms which
quickly end in the most horrible of deaths.
The other condition is that, when food
sufficient, if not in abundance, giadually
becomes diminished in .quality, then in
quantity, passing to still another stage,
where it is not only altogether deficient in
quantity, but also in the qualities necessary
each day to rebuild nature’s waste, and
thus provide for the next day’s life.
On this stinting' of physical sustenance
supervenes mental depression, causing loss
of appetite: thus there is indisposition to.
partake even of that measure of food
which, itself insufficient, is still necessary
to keep up some existence.
Strange to say, at this stage of depression
in mind and of gradual waste of body,*the
sufferer complains bat little, if at all; there
is a tendency to sleep, rest—anyhow, any
where, yet little evidence of pain. There
is, however, to'the skilled eye, a cast of eye
unmistakable; the children look aged
beyond their yean; adults move and speak
with a gait and utterance which seems to
shun all effort.
Failing fever, famine goe-; on to run its
own well marked coarse. 1 write from
what I and many others saw, watched and
noted. With no real complaint developed,
with little real pain, there is an increase of
lassitude in the adult, u want of all childish
energy in the young; a species of patient,
sullen, hopeless despondency masters the
whole man. You have atrophy now show
ing itself in many ways; the hair quits
the head in patches, the ankles swell,
the skin is bloodless, the eyes sunken; at| isicnce and government; and 2d, By the Fabian
scorn npon tho expressions which daily reach us-
from the Northwest, indicative of a desire on the
part of a considerable portion of the people there
to oppose the war, and to throw, off the Lincoln
despotism.'' We are told that there is no sincer
ity in theY.retcniions ot these men, that they
are hypocritical and base, and indeed that they j
are onrWorst-eqemica and seek only to inveigle
us into a reconstruction ot the Union.
Now we are not among tho number of those
who would palliate in any degree the actim of
the Northwestern States in this war, tor truly
our hardest and most disastrous conflicts have
conte from that quarter. Yet we hold that it is
the part of wisdom and sound policy, to say and
do nothing kalcuialed to heal in thejslightest de
gree the dissensions and divisions which exist
among our enemies—sapeeiacialiy when the dis
sensions constat in a direct- opposition to the
Federal administration, and upon the very ques
tion at issue between the North and South,—
Certainly we sbouUTnot- denounce and ridicule
the professions of auch men aa Vallandigham
and ihose who act with him. True, they, may
be reconatrcctionists, yet is it not more propable
that'they only assume to be such before their
own people t Asa party they might jeopardise
their success by going farther at this time. They
an bat jest taking the first reactionary step,and
we ought not to expect too much at this early
period of their action. Let them once get the
ascendancy and thafe can be little doubt that
they will drawoff frora'the East and establish ~
Western Republic. This design i
ducible from tho remarks of Vallandigham
self in iiis late great speech before the
Congress. He tells them plainly that war ia
disunion -that the only hope ot reconstruction
would be in conciliation and compromise; but
this failing, and the Union permanently dissolv
ed, the West would he eternally divided frsm
the East; That New England would be “left out
in the cold,’’ &(. Is it not plain in view of the
situation and circumstances under which there
utterance were made that thia great m ■ n already

How to Make Times Easier.
Every body complains of the enormously
high prioes which all articles of necessity
command, and every body inquires how it* is
to be remedied. We say let Congress lay a
heavy tax. If the currency was reduced, the
price of articles-of necessity would nccessa
rily fall. Let a tax be laid that will pay tho
interest on our bonds and provide a sinking
fund. This wilt make every body feel like
he currcnoy is good. It' will restore public
confidence, and there will be no more fears ot
the timid or ignorant, that it may bo worth
less in the end. It will give a healthy tone,
that is not to be over-estimalud at this time.
Then to the extent of the tax that is levied
the currency will be absorbed and reduced
For instance: If it require $60,000,000 to pay
the interest of the debt and provide a sinking
fund, and jf Congress will levy and collect
tax of $60,000,000, that amount will be with
drawn from the general circulation of the
country, and put back into the hands of the
Government. In this* way, t^e country will
be relieved from the load of its redundant
currency to that extent, which will be a very
great relief every way. . This, combined with
the reinvigorating influences of confidence,
will give more satisfaction, and set things
upon a better basis than all the patching np

Southern Christian Advocate, so long as we can

essential work. Give ns corn, and peas, and
baron, and beef, and forage, and we ran do with
out more cotton for tho present—and doubtless
the gain will prove an adrquaie compensation
lor every eacrificw the agriculturalist may make.
Toe advice wee given and follr wed last year,
thanks to our countrymen. Had it not been
done there would hive been a famine in the land
before the products of the caving season could
possibly be gathered- Aa it is, there ia famine

hoping that, after the first wild enthusiasm of I TelUco Iron Wcriu,” Tell too Plains, Monroe county,
the war |bad subsided into reflectibn, a return
ing sense ol justice and truth would be devel
oped in favor ol peace; and that this sentiment
having once found expression would grow, and
ultimately expand into a party of eixe sufficient
to lead to dissension and contusion in the coun
cils of the enemy, if it did dot wholly defeat and
revolotiouixe the IN or t hern States, causing them
to separate into two or more Republics.
Such was said to have been the views of Vice
President Stephens in the ontset of the struggle,
the earns being adopted by President Davis at
his argent solicitation; hence tbe adoption of
the detensive policy in the conduct of the war.
And now that the results predicted and desired
at the outset, are beginning to be developed at
the Northwest, strange to say, that there are
Confederate notes, and that Congress should
levy and oollect a tax of 25 per cent. This
would take $100 of the $400 in-A’s hands,
leaving him but $300. This, however, would
be of no disadvantage to him, for this absorp
tion or diminution of the currency would en
hance the value of what remained to the full
extent of the circulation withdrawn. He could
then buy with his $300, a horse, or any other
pr operty that would previously have cost him
$400 This enhanced value of the ourrency
will be manifested by the reduoed price of ar
ticles of necessity that are now very high,
jrhen'i tax, no matter how heavy, will not
be eerio^Bly felt by the holder of Confederate
notes, owing to the enhanced value of the
currency, and the correspondingly diminish

the lax, while the reduced price of articles of
necessity would bring within the scope of
their means many things whteh they now do
without, or are able to supply themselves but
scantily with. To thia class a heavy tax
would be a positive benefit; while the whole
country would, in all the thousand ramifica
tions of commerce and intercourse, be im
proved and strengthened, and a feeling of se
curity take the place of doubt.

If you say tho emergency iff'past, and the
call made ’upon mo by General Beauregard
for troops is withdrawn, Twill order the mil
itia officers disbanded and sent home. If tbe
call is not withdrawn, they must remain white
they are there, till tbe danger of attack has
jassed. Scattered as they are all over the
3late, I oannot order them to and from Sa
vannah every few days. You must take them
now, or say-yon do not want them. Say im
mediately by telegraph, whether the eall on
me for troops is withdrawn.

Considering the immediate danger passed,
I gave my qpnseht for the militia officers to

two (2) from Adjutant General of State.—
They left here before the receipt of your .dis
patch. I cannot say for General Beauregard
that tbe eall made upon you by him is with
drawn. A 1 the officers expressed a desire
to return Jnjre when the attack is made,
will then (speaking Tor myself) gladly reoeive
all who come. ' H. W. MERCER,
