A Card.
Tbe connection of the enbseriber with the

nates ibis day. lie regrets that the necessity
has occurred, in consequence of bis rcmoral
10 another literary sphere, for his separation
from its gentlemanly Proprietors, Messrs.
Apaib & f mitu. His association with them,
although brief, has been of a pleasant and
harmonious character. And should circum
stances renderJt neoeesary nothing would af
ford him higher satisfaction than a renewal
of the intercourse.
3. S. CABDOZO.
Atlanta, April 1,1868
From the foregoing card it will be seen that Mr.
Cabdoio, whose eble productions have for somes
time past rendered peculiarly attractive iho edl*
torial columna of tbe Southehm Confederacy,
retires to occupy a new field of labor to which
he has been called. He goea to Mobile to take
charge, as Editor-in-Cboif, of a new monthly
Magazine to be published in that city, by the
Urge, wealthy, end enterprising publishing
house, of S. H. Goetzel &. Co.
Mr. Cabdozo’s association with us has been
of'the most agreeable character, and we regret
ittt lor the present, we shall be deprived of our
very pleasant association with him, as well as his
able assistance in our editoiial department.—
We hope his dmiee in hia new field.of labor will
allow him stiil to cou'ribnte to oar colamns.
His long eiperienco as an editor, his mind
richly stored with the treasures of useful knowl
edge, bis unceasing labors and gentlemanly de
portment, peculiarly fit him for the discharge of
the duties he will assume in Mobile; and the
Messrs. Goetzel & Co. could not have secured
tbe services of a man more suitable or better
qualified. Our best wishes go with him, and
we commend him moat cordially a the kind re
gards of tbe good people of Mobile.

fourteen steamers remained.
Official intelligence was received on Satur

not to exceed two hundred men. Nothing

Gold ns the Standard—The Treasury
Sole* with Bostic Rates at Onrreney.
■Wo htve received inquiries of the Mlow'rog tenor,
with a leqacit tb' furnish *ati*f*elory replies—if in
onrpower:
1. When the value of gold fluctuates, by what stan-
iard it it known f How it it proven that the gold
and not the standard hot increased or decreased in
value?
2. By whnt meant it it pottlble that two different
paper currencies like the Confederate Treasury notes
and Bonk notes, con be mode to circulate together,
end occupy toe same field of circulation, without
either displacing the other?
The error most usually found to underlie the con
clusions of most observers, it that gold nnd silver
are invariable standards of value, from tbe fact that
Government has pfoocU a stamp on them when
coined into money, which does no more and cap do no
more than verify the quantity of pore metal in each
piece or coin. These metals are the wort invariable
in value of any substances yet discovered which hav.e
been made the objects of commerce. Gold and sil
ver making, therefore, tbe nearest approach to wbat
is called a standard of value—for both are legally
standards in the Confederacy—are subject, at all
timet, te the influence of the law of demand and sup
ply. They are more Hoder the influence ol this law
during a suspension of specie payments than at other
times, because more subject then to a-variety of
causes which produce what may be called an artificial
demand. Thus during a su-pension of specie pay
ments a large number of persons hoard, especially
during war. If foreign commerce is. interrupted by
blockade, or internal trade by armies or difficulties oj
transportation, impeding the free circulation of
commodities, as. paper money is of limited and local
credit, even occasionally in the same State or district
of country—specie becomes in demand to pay debts
or make purchases at a distance, from the place
where such money is issued. All these circumstances
and others extend the demand for gold and silver
coin, arising exclusively from the tutpeniion of tpecit
payments.
Gold and silver will fluctuate in value even during
payments in specie, but the limits o f such fluctuation
are very narrow. Should the balance of debt against
a country so advance tlia rates of exchange as to
make it more advantageous, to remit payment in
specie, it canndt advance beyond the point which
would mako it still more advantageous, unlttt. under
particular circumstances, to export commodities and
convert those commodities into specie to discharge
the debt.
Those circumstances are the necessity of providing
specie at times for the payment of troops. or to pur
chase breadstuff's, in case of the failure'of the har
vest, there not being time to make a double ex
change— first, Jbe purchase of commodities for ex
portation and then their sale in a foreign market lor
specie. But in the ordinary transactions of com
merce, this indirect operation is preferred to paying
so high a price for specie as to render payment of s
foreign debt too onerous. It is a question of compara
tive expense, and hence the limit. As, therefore,
there it alimit.to the rise in foreign exchange, which
is the expense (freight and insurance) of specie, in
transporting it from tho debtor to the. creditor coun
try, so there Is a limit to the advance of specie for
the payment of a foreign debt, in th* export of com
modities. There is a limit also to the power of with
drawing c'in from the banks, to discharge commer-*
cial indebtedness abroad, for unless tbe currenoy is
excessive and redundant, there is a checkin the
public demand for circulating medium that precludes
tbe possibility of collecting a number of bank notes
to be exchanged for specie, in any but a limited de
gree. .This is exclusive, of course, of those periods in
which panics take place, and a run is made <n the
Banks. Such periods are exceptional.
There is another cause of fluctuation in the value
of gold and silver, which is tho increased or diminish
ed coat of production, but it nevrr operates except
gradually, and only after long Intervals. The effect
Is indeed so gradual and imperceptible that it need
not concern the legislator. It shows itself, when it
occurs, in a change in the relative value of gold and
silver. If a.country has a double standard, both gold
and silver, as we have, the relative legal value has to
be adjusted to the relative market-value. At one
period of out history we lost nearly all our gold by
undervaluing it. At anotner period we lost nearly all
our silver by undervaluing that. These are the prin
ciples most material to know applicable to the sub
ject. While all values are estimated in paper money,
ineluding gold and silver, it is next to an absurdity to
speak of a standard of value.'
In relation to tho other branch of Inquiry: By what
means Is it possiftethat two different currencies of
paper, like the Confederate Treasury notes and Bank
notes, can bo made to circxlate together, and oceupy
tho field of circulation without cither displacing
the other i the answer will Uop.-n I we think on tbe
condnet pursued by the Banks when tho war is over
and the large public expenditure ceases. There are two
courses for tho Banks to pursue. 1. Tb refuse to re
ceive Trcaisury notes on deposit and in payment of
dues to them; or, 2. To receive them to a certain ex
lent,and thus divide the circulation with the Confed
eracy. If tho Banks refuse to receive those notes on'
deposit and in payment, should they circulate at all
it wil< beat a diminished valne or discount,inprer
portion to their excess beyond tho demand for them.
If receivable for taxes and duties, it will assist to sus
tain their value, particularly at those periods in
which the taxes and duties are payable. It will, how
ever,-be an irregular demand.
• The other course is probably the one that will be
adopted by the Banks. They perhaps will divide the
escalation with the Confederacy, on the understand
ing that the latter will be limited. If such should b,
the policy of the strong Banks, it will drive tc the
wall the weak Banks , or those who rely exclusively
for their profits on their .circulation. The more pow
erful Banks, or those located in our large commercial
cities, will not be indisposed to pursue this course, as
tbe Banks In .the interior Interfere with their gains.
The point in greatevt doubt is the quantity ef paper
currency that business and prices will absorb. Much
will depend on the future price* of our great staple
When the aggregate value of onr crop of cotton was
two hundred millions of dollars, the amount of Bank
notes in circulation in the eleven Confederate States*
was ia round numbers one hundred million of dollars.
It will depend, therefore, 'on the ftitare price of this
staple, in a great degree, what with be the entire
volnme of onr paper currency, supposing business to
be condnctcd on its firmer scale. It is impracticable
to adjust beforehand the quantity of the circulating
medium to the wants of society. It will fluctuate
with those wants. If we (oppose that cotton should
settle down to the price of fifteen cents per pound, at
the end of two years, and tbe average crop to be
4,000,000 bales, worth three hundred millions of dol
lars, if when the crop was worth two hundred mil
lions the quantity of paper currency then was one
hundred millions, fifty per cent, more would
be an ample addition to the currency. The authors of
tho currency bill just adopted by Congress go for be
yond this in their estimate. Shoold one hundred and
fifty millons of paper money be sufficient, end the
Banks be content to an equal share of the currency
sevekty-five millions would he tho amount to be al
lotted to the Confederacy. c.
Tax Wheat Crop.—Never was the earth so
healthful. Within the interior regions of the
country the land ia laughing oat the promise
of a rich crop of wheat from every seam and
farrow. Especially from Middle Tenneaaee
do we receive cheering news of plenty in the
fields. “ There has never been in my recol
lection,” writes a farmer of sturdy sense and
long observance, “ a season which affords ns
so much hope. The wheat is coming up beau
tifully, fresh and lively. I calculate to raise
a large overplus beyond last year.” Others,
verbally and by letter, confirm this statement.
The gentle rain3 of 8pring now ooming with
the April weather will,. by the goodness of
God, give ns barns loaded to overflowing next
fall. We have only to collect the crop.

Richmond, MArqji 27, 18C3.
This is tho day set apart by the President
as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer
and its observance is general throughout th
city. Divine service was held in all the
churches, eloquent and appropriate exhorta
tions flowed from every pulpit, and a univer
sal prayer from- fervant hearts,- reached the
throne of Jehovah that He would smile our
wicked enemies and restore peace to our
bleeding country: When the chosen people
of God, under the old law, retired to praise
and glorify the Lard of Hosts, they were re
viled and persecuted by the unbelioviu> gen
tiles; but-their Lord vouchsafed to attest llis
pleasure at their faithful perseverance, by
open manifestations of His merciful protec
tion. The same God livcth, and IDs mercy,
and His power endurcth forever, Ilcir ilio
New York Tribune in its impious railing on
the subject of President Davis’ Proolams.iton.
“The Confederate President has*.issued
another Proclamation for a public fast injhis
dominions, which considering the condition
of flesh-pots In these demesnes, strikes us as
just a little supererogatory. We have no fear
that any of .tho rebels will .eat' too much’'—
“not only* by man, but by beast will hW in
junctions be well heeded.” “Fast Days, nro
puritanical institutions—tbe very first Fast
ever kept upon this comment was kept iu
Plymouth by Praise-God Dare-Bones ami oth -
er scurvy Pilgrim Fathers.”
When the devil quoted-Scripture to our
Blessed Lard, the Holy Word was only per
verted—not destroyed. If the “scurvy Pil
grim Fathers” observed tbe first last day
upod this continent, at Plymouth, do their
sourvier sons forget' that the divine injunc
tion to fast and pcay is as old its the first Rev
elation which God was pleased to make to
fallen man, and that nearly eighteen centu
ries before Praise-God Dare-Bones helped to

But, imagine yourself in the secret ohtet

with pious uuckery, to stand between, the

this very morning, when the thunder of God’s
wrath comes booming upon his ears irom the
banks of the Mississippi, bee him when the
shrieks and curses of the miserable victims
who, with their shattered gunboats, were
sunk on Wednesday last, at Yioksburg, reach
his editorial den.
The winds of Heaven have already wafted

The spring campaign has resulted gloriously
to our arms, and promises & success worthy the
unparalleled bravery of our troops. Never be
fore. in the history of our race, have two such
armies confronted each other ; and history has
not yet recorded such signal victories over
vastly superior numbers as thoae with which
Providence bos blessed our arms. We have so
far nobly met ihe crisis; and, wile a patriotic
determination on ibe part of our people, old and
young, high ami low, officials and civilians, to
strengthen our armies with men, money, arid
food, we shall pass through it in satiety, and
need never Benin tear such formidable combins-
tloif. by set and laud, as Lincoio has now been
oni. t d to precipitate upon us.
Since my last, a bill has passed the Senate
providing that there be furnished to every eu**.
listed, man in the service of tbe Confederate
States one ration ot tobacco under such regu
lations as the Secretary of War may ’ establish
When this bill becomes a law, the boys need m
longer “chew the bitter cud of discontent.’*
The bill to prescribe the rates of postage on
newspapers; periodicals, books, and transient
and other matter, has been reported to the Sens
ate from the Committee on postal affairs. Tno
bill consists of two sections, and, as respects
newspapers, provides the rates on all published
in the Confederate States, sent to' regular sub**
scribers, as follows: For each paper not weigh
ing over three ounces, one cent, and for every
additional ounce or fraction of au ounce, one-
half cent. It also provide That publishers of
newspapers or periodicals may 9end to each
other, from thair respective offices 'of publica-i
tian, free of postage, one copy ot each publica
tion.
The bill establishing the court of Claims,
has passed tbe Senate with an amendment pro
viding for the payment by the Secretary of the
Treasury of all claims judicially established
by the Court, limiting, however, tho amount
of any one payment to fifteen thousand dol
lars unless provided for by .Congress by a
special appropriation. Messrs. Clay, Summed,
Simms and Sparrow voted against the bill.
The tax bill'oneountered tierce opposition be
fore its passage in the House. The final vote was
60 for, to 80 against, it. The chief ground of
opposition was as intimated in a former letter;
the hardship and alleged injustice which its
uniformity must work in those sections of
oountry which have been overrun or are oc
cupied by the enemy. The dissentients have
a strong hope that it will be vetoed by the
President on Constitutional grounds. They
hold that a direct lax is unconstitutional and
absurd without a precedent census; and they
build their hope or a veto on the fact that t ho
Tax Bill as passed, will diminish the salaries
of. the President and District Judges which
the Constitution says shall neither be increas
ed nor diminished during the incumbency of
of the person to be affected thereby.
Before the final vote on the bill, the tax of
2per cent, on real estate, as recommended by
the Committee, was reduced to 1 percent as
it now stands. The bill providing a mode for
the assessment and collection of the tuxes is
now before the House, and will occupy 80 me
days yet.
On Tuesday, Mr. Gartrell procured the
passage of a bill under a suspension of the
Jules, to amend the sequestration act so as to
empower District Judges to lease such alien
property liable to confiscation, as consists in
mines or furnaces of iron, lead or cvpper oie.
A resolution has been introduced in the
Senate requesting the President to cause esti
mates of the expenses of the Government till
January 1st, 1864, to be sent in *.o Congress.
This resolution can hardly be complied with
before adjournment, and the consequence will
be an Extra Session in^ho summer.

The weather continues dreadful—iit.eemy
last there has been but an hour or so, of suu*
-bine stepping in au a short intermission be
tween tbe snow, bail, rain, sleet, lightning,
and thunder. We have been uncomfortable
and are more weary to day tbau at any tiuic
in the past long and weary twenty.four
months. Our proximity to Richm >nd instead
of being a source of of plenty to u*, is quite
the contrary. Siuce onr arrival here we re
ceive but J pound of bacon a day, with an
occasional issue' of rice, sugar and peas —
These issues, however, arc but occasional—
say once a week. To be sure, wc can visit
Richmond and buy what » e like, but oue vis
it generally takes al! .the cash on hand
prices being so excessively high. Our horses
are also stfort- of forage They are on half
food and are likely to coutiuue so at present.
These things, although they tnako one feel
uncomfortable and hungry at times, ate not
<1: scour aging. No! we will continue iu the
war path long after' our beef and flour have
gone, living on the roots of tho earth and tbe
waters of the spring, even as our forefathers
have done before us.
Thu health of our command ia good, though
not e * good as at Fredericksburg. There are
a few cases of luierniiitout Fever and Catarrh,
but the scourge of the army at this season
last year—the camp fever—has not made its
appearance. The Small l’ok has almost en
tirely disappeared—indeed i question wheth
er there h.u> over been a case, originating in
the army. A.I the oases that I have heard
reported were contracted out of camps—at
the' hospitals and along the roads.
We expect to lia*e a general review in a It w
days il the ground will g*.t dry enough. Our
illustrious President is expected with a number
of distinguished statesmen and soldiers who
now till the c-apitol* It will be a pleasing spec
tacle and both parties will be mutually pleased.

make their laws, and the statesmen will be
gratified to see the men who carry those laws

A lot of court martial sentences has just been
received. They come with the regulari.y of a
Hebdontedal. , The last batch are more than
usually severe. A number ol men ate to be shot,
a few whipped, a large number to labor with
hall and chain, and some to be decorated with a
flour barrel:aiiirt. Have you ever witnessed the
latter punishment ? It is a severe one. The
barrel is pluced over the head of the defender,
his arms being put through holes in each side
The barrel is marked in largo, letters, “Absent
without leave,”—"I deserted my colors.” and
oilier sentences to describe iho nature ot the
offence. Th.'culprit feeling like a drowned rat,
is then led up ana down the line, or stationed in
front of bis regiment d, ring • ress parade. It is
a punishment that is very much dreaded.
1 am' afraid, ho* over, that as a general
thing, court rnarliais are too severe. I saw a
man ou a late torrifio march of sixty miles,
wearing all the way. a ball anil chain, weigh
ing about twenty five pounds. His offense
was a simple one. and knowing tho man to
bo ordinarily a good soldier, my heart bled
lor him 1 think that these hew boards, lor.
the trial of offences, will be advantageous to
the sotdicr as well as to tbe service. . I notice
the President has seleoted for theeo boards
the first men of the oountry, and men of seuse
are always charitable and kind. It is ouly
men of narrow intellects and gravelling na
lures that are cruel. ^
By tho appointment of Col. L. M. Lamar,
of the 8ih Georgia, as a member of one of
the3 : boards, Lt. Col. J. R. Towers is prom#
ted-to the Colonelcy ot that Regiment. There
is a dispute between Maj E. J Magruderand
