SMITH, M, 0 ATLANTA, GEORGIA: THURSDAY, MARCH 19. 1803. . aB«sST DAILY CIRCI'UTIO* IB THE 8TATE. fc» • British CouiliUncy. Ii is difficult to discover in whst principle there is agreeinent in the statesmen who now administer the affairs of Eoglaod, as regards neutral obligations. Men who sit at the same Council boa id and on the earner benches in the House of Commons, speak to the people in con tradictory language. The Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston,and his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Gladstone,his Foreign Secretary, Lord John Russell'Snd bis Secrnary for Ireland, Sir Robert Peel, deliver themselves differently on the ques tion of Recognition. But not only on questions ol present policy do we flhd these contradictions. We see that on abstract points of public law no two of her statesmen or of her publicists enter tain similar opinions. In recent Parliamentary debates on the ques. lions brought before the Paris Conference in 1856, Lord Derby differed in his views of the effect of the declaration that free ships shall make iree goods; in case of a war with the United States France would engross, he thought, the whole of the carrying trade. I.ord Glanville conceived that in case of such a war the British navy would so completely blockade the ports of the tormcr that none of her vessels would be able to come out. Lord Palmerston had no fears on the sub ject. Lord Russell expressed himself disaatis.. bed with that part ot the Paris arrangements that permitted neutrels to have unlimited free dom in carrying enemy’s goods. He regarded the question as one affecting the whole maritime power of Great Britain.' Sir George C. Lewis, the Secretary ol War, hinted that the Paris Des durations were not binding on Euglsnd during war, for which he'was rebuked by Mr. T. Bar ing. Mr. .Bright thought that the Paris Declara tions ought to havo gone farther, and not only declared that free ships should make free goods, but that free goods s'hould make free ships—in other Words that the Ireedom which exempts Irom capture the vessels of a belligerent having on board neutral property ought to be permitted. The Solicitor General, Sir Ronndell Palmer, waa apparently more liberal in hia views than hia political compeers, yet he differed irom them essentially, lie thought the honor of the gov ernment committed to the maintenance, in war as well a* peace, of the Paris declarations, par ticularly that affirming that free ships should make free goods. So much for this important principle adopted in the Pans conference, in the view of British Paliamentarians. But it is remarkable, amidst this contrariety of opinion at regards the probable effect on British interests, in war, of adherence to it, that not a word should have been uttered in relation to tho no less important modification of the law of blockade at that conference. As that law stood, as part of the law of nations, an effective blockade is defined to be “evident danger on en tering a blockaded port." The Paris declaration says “blockades to be binding must be effective; that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient really to present access to the coast of the enemy." How does this definition apply to the facta patent to all observation, that vessels daily enter the port ol Charleston ? Here was a striking change in the language defining blockade, yet it did not elicit a word in ibis debate from any of the speakers, and although allot'them admitted that British honor was bound by the Paris Declares lions, and among them Lord Ruoae', yet this same Lord Russel permits the Liucolu govern ment to maintain a blockade that is so far inef fective—so far from preventing access to the coast, vessels daily enter the harbor of Charleston.— do much for British consistency. But sot only do we flad this contradiction between British precept and praotioe, and between their Parliamentary leaders, those clothed in ermine and presiding in their highest courts of jifttioe, are chargeable with this political sin. Lord Stowell, one of their magistrates of the highest judicial eminence, differs in hia views of pnblio law, as regards its binding force, on the consciences of Eng lish judges, from Sir William Molesworth another distinguished British judgo, and from Dr. Lnahington an eminent civilian.— Bat not only this, Lord Stowell differs from himself. In a judgment pronounoed by him in 1799, in a price court, he said "the per son who sits here is to determine this ques tion exactly as he would determine the same question if sitting at Stockholm, asserting no pretensions on the part of Groat Britain that he would not allow to Sweden*’’ In other words he would be bound to docide in con formity with principles of publio law. Seven years after, this same Lord Stowell declared that he waa bound by the British orders in oounoil—that municipal was paramount to public law—that he was obligated to follow the King’s instructions, and not the maxims of that law. This slavish judge went further than any of his predecessors or successors, in main taining the supremacy of British maritime power, in defiance of pnblio law and natural justice. He was friendly to allowing the capture of private property at sea as an in centive to the avarice of British officers. In fact, nearly all British statesmen are favora ble to that system of legalized plnnder which consists of qppturing private property at sea, refusing to assimilate it with property on land, in this respect, having all the time on their lips the words justice, right, and hu inanity. They loudly condemn privateering, yet where is the- distinction between captur ing private property with a commission as a privateer, and capturing it with a commission as a public armed vessel T C. The Confederate Tax Bill. We have received a copy of the Tax Bill now before Congress. The Bill is a long one, and may be altered and amended in various ways before it becomes a law. But, aa it is a matter of universal interest, we give a synopsis ot its provisions : Tho bill, as reported from the committee, pro poses a tax ol one per centum on the value ol all real and personal property, moneys and credits, held on the 11th day of January. 1863, and on the 11th day of January ot each succeeding year thereafter, except on such property, money or credits, as may he employed in a licensed business, or the profits of which are by the bill especially taxed; prescribes the mode ot taking out licenses, and taxes business, as follows; Bankers, three thousand dollars for each li cense, and ten per centum upon the gross am’nt of profitaTealized during the year ending on the 31st December, 1863.

Mr. Lincoln’s administration have undertaken to do w hat no civilized Government ever suc ceeded in—what Great Britain, even Louis Na» poieon or the Czar of Russia, would not dare to attempt—to crush and exterminate ten millions of people, armed and united in the cause, which they esteem that of their liberty, their homes and their honor. From ; he Columbus (Ohio) SUtetmtn. There can be no question as to the fact that at this moment at least seventy «fivo per cent of the people ot Ohio desire peace—not that they have any sympathy with the rebellion, or that they would not make any and every sacrifice to re store the Union, but because they are convinced that the imbecility and corruption which in high places, the perversion oi the war from the legit imale object for which it was commenced, the frequent and palpable violationaof the Constitu tion by those in power, the gross assaults upon the liberty ot the citizens, and the other flagrant abuses and despotic practices which prevail in all the departments of the^governmem* have led them to believe that at 4 thc rate we are hurrying on, our Constitution and Union and the granc and glorious form of government which our fathers gave ns„will soon be lost, and the coun- try be forever and irretrievably ruiued* From the Dayton'(vhW) Empire. It ia hard to conceive of the great joy that will animate and enliven the hearts of the peo*> pie when this cruel slaughter of Americans by Americans is ended; when the martial music of the hateful fife and drum is superceded by the sweet song of peace; when the march of ar mies gives way to the march of industry and civilization: when spears shall be turned into pruning hooks, and swords into plowshares, and the goddess of Liberty, folding away forever the bloodistained banner of civil war, wears upon he^ wounded bosom the healing olive branch of peace. Fromihe Fort Warren (Ini) SsUineL In view of the disasters which attend our arms on the Potomac, the otter demoralization of our army, the dissensions among our Gene rals, and tho determination of Lincoln. Staun ton and Halteck to prevent General McClellan or any of his friends—or, in.fact, any Demo, cratic General who designs carry iug.on the war for the salvation of the Union rather than to build up the Abolition party—from successfully carrying on a campaign, ia it not time to inquire if our national difficulties cannot be adjusted in some other way than by fighting f From the Mullen (Ohio) Sentinel. We can never restore this Union. The time when force could have accomplished anything has passed. As long S6 the people placed cons fidence in the integrity of the administration, so long there , was hope that the Government would oe able to maintain itself. Bnt that con fidence ta gope. Not one man in ten in our en tire army, or throughout the non.sGeedcd States, now believes that the war is being conducted for the preservation of the Union. Hardly any one, save those who are coining money out of tho nation’s calamity, has any confidence in Mr. Lincoln or his advisers. From the Hamilton (Ohio) Telegraph. One universal cry for' peace goes up from every home. Four-fifths of the brave men now in the field desire peace. Those who love the Union, and are loyal to it, wont this war stopped; those who desire separation olamor for us continuance. The very life blood of the nation has beon rapped from it, and jet we hear the fanatics cry for war— war and extermination. The real enemies oi the Government are those who have been loudest and most blatant lor slaughter ; they are those who have only a monied interest iu the war, and have m&do no sacrifice of life, or property’, or friends. These men having never relt the desolation incident to the loss of a 8 an or a brother on the battle field, sneer at the weeping mother and friends, and oven accuse them of doubtful patriotism. Mon write long war articles for pay ; and when we see a man inditing blood and thunder leaders for loyal newspapers, or some brain less fool clamoring louder than his fellow for inoTe lives; we are sure there is some con sideration, some pay at the oottom ot it all. Men in high places, drawing large salaries, can afford to damn the rebels and denounce traitors in the North. It is a pleasant thought for the soldier, toiling and bioeding through strife and storm to hoar of his negleoted family, how the patriots promised protection and- bread to the wife and child, and gave them none. The brave tnau standing amid the sleet and snow ot a winter night, or marching to the death, and all the while the loved ones at home dying from want. Any one who reads the papers of New York, tit. Louis and Cincinnati, will know that this is no fabrication, no pieture of poesy. Richmond Examiner, March 14. Bow to maintain Our Liberty. The intelligent portion of the Northern people are now fully aware that their liberties are com pletely gone, and that the government has i'al len into the grasp of arbitrary and unlimited power. The reader has seen in the extracts from thtfir provincial press published in this pa per yesterday, that they are occt-pied with sad and hopeless speculators on the question,wheth er another general election will be held iu its appointed time. It is evident that the thoughts ful portion of that public know their condition without possessing the will or power to strug gle tor change. Remembering the rights they jossessed two years ago, and looking on the po. itical manacles which now bind their hands, they utter only the naturalgptirase of weakness and improvidence when the calamity they have rendered inevitable has at length arrived, "who would have thought it!" It is too late to attempt resistance now. The first encroachments of powerare easily resisted, but it permitted, they become difficult to check; when they are completed, even in quiet iimes.it is almost impossible tu redress them ; but at a period like tile present,. when the country is a camp, and a machine called an army, consisting o: eight hundred thousand men, is ready to crush the bold individual who shall insist on ex*, ercising the privileges he supposed himself to have iherited, successful resistance to arbitrary power is not only impossible, but the attempt is mere madness. Let the South be warned by the. spectacle which the North has presented' during these years. What has happened there has not hap pened here ; but it might have done so, and it tnay yet happen. The elastic plea of public he» ceasity deluded the North. The people were told that all the power of the country must be concentrated in the hands of one man, that he might crush a rebellion ; that private suffering anil injustice be committed to prevent the der-> rui iion «>; the nation. The same overpow argument has been olteii urged on the •r ot the Southern Congress and in the South ern press. The nation has refused to listen to it, and up to the present point in the war, has preserved iu Constitution intact. - But when the tug ot trial comes, and the weak ore alamed we shall hear it again, and if the represnta- fives of the nation then listen, the Constitution and the cause will die together. For never was sophism more fallacious than this. The strength of the Confederacy will de tart from it, the moment it becomes a pale re lex of the Northern Empire. The North pus sesses greater numbers, and physical advans tagea in a greater degree than the South. Yet the South resists with success, and why I Be cause oi its superior moral force. This is still a free republic. Our armies fight with courage for their property and liberty. Our people eu dure the ills of war with fortitude, that their laws and privileges may be secured. The North is governed by a despotism. Iis soldiers and its people are slaves. But if we do as the North has done, and surrender all the (towers of the State into the hands of one man, the South will be governed also by arbitrary power, and its people too wilt be slaves. Then the strug gle will resove itself into a struggle between two despotisms, each possessing a certain amount ot brute force. As the South, has far less of this than the North, the conclusion is inevitable that the South must succumb. The only hope of this country rests on a strict ad herence to its republican principles. The res toration of the Union becomes a possible thing the iqoment it is presented in the torn of this question: Shall we belong to a great .country governed by arbitrary and despotic power, or belong to a little country also governed by arbi trary and despotic power l Antl-Blocbnde Rumor. Pursmine, the racy war correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing trom Savannah on the 14th inst., in discussing the probable duras lion ot the war, incidentally gives the following: Again, it has been stated that Mercier, the French Minister at Washington, has expressed the opinion that the blockade would be opened before the first of May. Be this as it may; I attach no credit to the remark. We hive been deceived too often by statements of this nature But there is a singular fact which coincides with the observation worthy of notice. If I have been correctly informed a certain law firm in-Charleston has recently drawn up a contract with certain French agents tor the de livery of several millions of dollars worth of Cotton, Rice and Tobacco. The first instal ment is to be paid, or the first delivery made, am net certain which, within a tew weeks.- How f If officially, the riddle is solved. The blockade will be opened by French sbipa-of war. Otherwise the transaction politically amounts to nothing. A considerable quantity of Sea Is land Cotton, snch as is mostly used in the man utaclurc-til French fabrics, has already been bought by parties in your market, whose char acter favors the idea that the purchase has been made fur that Government. Johx Van Boken on ths War.—At a late Union meeting held in New York, loha Van Boren is reported to have said: “In any way, however. I am fur a vigorous prosccution of the war, and for sdsiaioiog the' Government in a general assault on the very stronghold of the rebellion, and iii ninety days the people will he astonished at themselves lor ever believing that the Administration has such a wonderful strength as they supposed. Tbc Washington Chronicle says that “the Democrats have nobly resolved to postpone all disputes, and to heal alt dissensions, and to strengthen the Executive in every measure he has adopted to crush the rebellion.’’ The Army- Signal Corps. BOW MESSAGES ARE GOMHUNIOATED—NOVEL WAT OF CONGEALIN'} DISPATCHKS—CURIOUS SIGNS, RIO. Though the sigual corps is a regular and important arm of the military service, few persons know of its use and objects. The following from tho New Orleans correspon dence in a Northern paper, of the signal corps in that department, will give some interesting information on a subject of which very little .is known out side its own members: The signal corps department connected with this division of the army in Louisiana is a well regulated, well instructed and most efficient arm of the service. The system of signalizing now in use in the service organ ized with' Mty'or Myer, an officer of the regular army, and is probably the most complete and thorough code of the kind, for the purpose intended, now extant in any country. By this method of signalizing, messages can be read through a telescope at a aistance of twenty to twenty-five miles. Dispatches can be sent in the sole of the carrier’s boot, in the hair of his head, or in the stitches of his coat or breeches, and that too without the scrape of pen or slip of pa per ; indeed the carrier himself is as ignor ant of the code, and of the interpretation of the message he carries, as the rebels would be, into whose bands he may chance to fall, or whose prisoner he might become. Kota single line, or sentence, or word could he or they, or both united, ever make out. None can read or decipher the messages or understand the signals, but those familiar with the code and none but the most relia ble of commissioned officers, (and these even are sworn under the penalty of death should they divulge the secret, either to friend'or enemy,) are ever taught it. An other safeguard thrown around the system is that it is all unwritten. The instruction is oral, without books or written teaching. The knowledge of the art cannot be gab bled or pilfered, and thus rendered subser vient to the armies of the enemy. On the battle field flags ar generally used !or transmitting messages from point to point and from station to station through out the whole lines, and these little tell tales of discoipi'ort to the enemy are looked upon by the generals with feelings of in tense bitterness—lienee the extraordinary efforts of his sharpshooters to pick off the signal officer from his eyrie, cr keen look out. At the battle of Napoleonville, several officers of- the signal party-had their horses shot under them, and during the engage ment several others were wounded. In dene logs or storms, when flags are not available, messages can be sent by sound of cannon, musket, drums, or other noises, intelligent to the sigoal officer, and as readily distinguished as other signs of the code; and besides those above described there may be other methods Of transmitting messages and conveying intelligence of an enemy’s movement not here enumera ted. In the department of the Gulf -there are permanent stations for signalizing—at New Orleans, Algiers, Camp l’arapet, and the United states barracks, six miles below the city, on the left bank of the Mississip pi, a short distance from the old battle ground of Gen. Jackson, and where the English General Packenham was killed in theffirar of 1812. The face of the country in this part of the State is so very flat that signal stations have to be erected upon the roofs of houses and the tops of large trees. The "lookout” at Camp Parapet, nearly opposite the win dow from which I write, is fifteen feet from the ground, is built iu the top of a giant oak, near to the levee, or river’s bank, and connects directly with a station upon the top of the custom house at New Orleans, where General Bntler has his head quarters, and irom which at any moment he can send or receive dispatches as the circumstances may require. Tnis lookout consists of two stagings, the one from six to seven feet above the other. Upon the lower stage is placed a telescope, so adjust ed as to take the exact line of the custom house, and remains there a permanent fixture. There is also upon this first stage a firm seat tor the signal officer, and from which he issues his orders and sends or receives his dispatches. Upon the upper ■stage the flag or light, or whatever signal may be used, is placed under the care of an experienced operator who knows the sign and motions of the torch or the flag' which he handles in obedience to the signal officer upon the stage below, but who does not know a single word ot the message or information which his motions and waves and other gestures tell out to the station at headquarters. Tho watch men 'at the stations are relieved at intervals of from two to four hours, and the penalty for neglect of duly or sleeping on the post is as severe as in. any other part of the service. Printing Paper.—The Boston Journal says that the consumption of paper in this country equals that of Great Britain and France together. In 1854 it was estimated that 25,000,000 lbs, were made here, valued at $25,000,000. About 405,000.000 pounds of rags were used, at an average cost of four cents per pound. In New England, the Middle and Western States, the value of book, job, and newspaper printing was returned by the last census (1860) as $39,428,843, of which eleven millions worth consisted of books, the valne of the latter being nearly equal to the whole product of the same branch in 1850, which was return ed at $11,586,549. The manufacture of paper has increased in an equal ratio, the State of Massachusetts alone producing paper of the value of $5,968,469, being over 58 per cent of the product of the Union in 1850.
