“Gov BM* s ' 8 Lktteh.—We published
lasi week the masterly speech of Hon.
p H Hill. > n which he took occasion to
t iP«r up the puerile contentions and
glaring inconsistencies of Guv. Brown,
in liis warfare against the Confederate
Gorernment. As we desire to do justice
lo all parties, we now lay before our
readers the letter of Got. Brown, which
was intended as a reply to Senator Hill,
it« ask a careful perusal of both these
documents, and feel that further com
ment ia unnecessary. The two papers
spaak for themselves, and a candid and
mprejudiced.mind can find no difficulty
in discovering the truth and power of the
one, and the feebleness and fallacy of
the other.
A Naw RsoimeXT. —We understand
that Col. Evans is progressing vapidly in
raising a regiment for service in Gen.
Cobb’s department. Some half dozen
companies arc said to be completed al
ready, and others are in process ol for
mation with good prospects of success.
We are happy also to announce l he cheer
ing prospects of Capt. Garrard, of this
city, whose company is receiving addi
tions every day. Ccd. Evans is an expe
rienced and competent officer, while fiie
locality of the service commends itself
to those who do not care to go far away
from home. IVo hope to be able to an
nounce the completion of the regiment
at an early day.
EuttortAN Ot'ERATtVES. — It is suid
that a great many operatives arc auiious
to leave England for Yaukcedom, in or
der to escape the cotton famine, which
Mr. Cobdcn represents as getting worse
every day. More than this, lie snjjs
there is danger lest the bankrupt manu
facturers be compelled to sell their ma
chinery, and so bring about a serious
and permanent injury lo the English
industrial system. Inasmuch as the
starving operative!* would find a cotton
famine at the North as severe almost as
that in England, nijd since we need
machinery and labor, a resolution look
ing to this matter is to be introduced at
an early day in the House of Uopresen
tativcs.at Richmond, provided the Vix
ynption bill does not continue lo engross
the whole atleutiou of (lull august body.
ijrizmss ann Oonhsi ations. —By a
resolution of inquiry in the Confederate
House of Representatives, Mr. Lyons
dircotcd attention, a lew days ago, to
acts of lawlessness which have occurred
at the hands of military officials under
the assumed authority of the Govern
ment. These acts have been cliiolly, yve
believe, the seizure and confiscation of
lienors. The following response of the
Provident to the resolution shows that
these acts have boon without bis sane

A Financial Scheme
A few members of Congress who have
not devoted their whole time and atten
tion to the discussion of the exemption
bill, are beginning to reflect upon our
probable condition after the war shall
have closed, and propose measures for
the payment of the national debt. The
subject is one of vital interest, and we
arc glad to observe a disposition upon
the part of our rulers to meet it.
Foremost among the financial measures
proposed, is the bill of Mr. Swan of
Tennessee, in the House of Representa
tives. This bill proposes an export duty
on cotton, of say forty cents, and a “imi
lar duty on rice and tobacco, with a view
of forcing England and France, who have
been so scrupulously tender of Lincoln s
blockade, to pay our war debt. It is
contended by Mr. Swan, that since the
Confederate State* enjoy a monopoly of
these articles, we have the power, and
that the recent acts of Europe have madi
jt our right, to impose upon foreign mar
kets such a tax on our staples as will, in
a few years, enable us to cancel our na
tional debt.
It would indeed be a pleasing thought
to know that we have it in our power to
make Europe tributary to our wants by a
simple act of legislation. It would be
quite an agreeable process lo make Eng
land pay our war debt, in the lorni of an
export duty on our staple product, were
we certain that, in turn, Johnny bull
would not make wv foot the bill when we
come to purchase his cotton fabrics. In
that, event, the consumer in America,
and not. the manufacturer in Europe,
would have to pay (lie forty cents export
duly, and flic scheme would amount lo
little short of a direct lax on (he people,
after all.
It may he urged by the advocates of
the hill (hat it will encourage home man
ufactures, by enabling our capitalists to
manufacture the raw material much
cheaper Ilian it can be done in Europe.
It is quite certain that upon a margin ol
forty or even twenty cents per pound,
export duty, capitalists in the Confeder
ate States could better afford tomanu
facture uur own material than could
those of Europe, who, in addition to the
original export duty, would have to pay
the costs of re-shipment to American
markets. Hut is it, desirable that we
should become a manufacturing people ?
And in Hint event, wlmt becomes of the
revenue which is contemplated by the
bill'.' Would it not, then cease to he a
financial measure, and therefore fail of
(lie object it contemplates 1
We should provide for war in times pf
peace, and place ourselves independent
of paper blockades, such tis has been our
grievance for two years past; but it is
very doubtful whether it would be to our
interest to become a manufacturing peo
ple to llio extent necessary to compote
with England and France in the dry
goods markets.
There is another feature connected
with this subject, worthy of attention.
England desires independence of our
commerce, as much as we desire inde
pendence of Yankee excises. She has
shown herself ready to make almost any
sacrifices to accomplish this object. She
desires lo become a.cotton growing pow
er as well as a manufacturing one; and
but for the competition offered her in
t lie South, she might to-day rule supreme
in the agricultural as well as in the
manufacturing world. Rut the fertility
of our soil and the peculiar character of
our labor, enables us to furnish cotton
much cheaper than it can be raised in
the West Indies, and hence we enjoy a
monopoly of (hat staple. Now, if we
impose an export duty which would at
onee enable English planters to compete
with us in the culture of cotton, what is
the consequence '! We do just the thing
that England, above all things else, de
sires that we should do—oiler her a pow
erful stim-ulent to the culture of cotton
in her own dominions.

••Hermes” of the 12tli says .
Some queer things are said to be oc
curring in our army at Fredericksburg,
with respect to absent officers. For
example, when a Brigadier leaves for
homo on urgent business, his command
is distributed to other brigades, so that
on his return ho is functus otjieio. That
lias occurred with Toombs, who, for a
,n,)i,il. past, lias been forced ’tis said, to
employ bis leisure in cock fighting.
General T. is now in this city.
With regard to Gen. G. \V. Smith, i
bear further, on wliat I decYu good au
thority, that l.c will resign. This was
stated to my informant two or three
days ago, with the addition that all tho
facts in the case would be published at
an early day. Perhaps the matter has
been composed.
Papers as late as the Dili came to the
Examiner last night. They contain
nothing very encouraging either from
the United States or from abroad. No
signs of recognition. AVith these papers
came a copy of Harper’s Magazine for
February, which shows no traces of war
in respect to its size or its pictures. It
has a novel by the author of “Adam
Bede," and a long editorial on the “In
divisibility of the Union,’' baTsed on

Mr. Davis, in his "Campaign from
Texas to Maryland'' tells a good story
of un Indian in the Ist Texas Regiment.
Having taken a Yankee prisoner, he
banded him over, saying, “Major, T ank
yours; gun mine." Musketry he stood
very well, but the first shell that went
screaming over his head startled him.
and when the second burst over his head,
he exclaimed, “Ugli! no good for In
dian," and nigdc for the rear with the
speed of tin autolope.
It is said substitutes won't tight.—
That depends upon tlieir officers in a

the boy jumped up and kept to his post

The Manchester Guardian hears of a

Ciiaki.kston, Feb. 15.—Dates from
Nassau of the fith report the arrival of
the Confederate war steamer
Capt. Mafitt, which left Mobile on the
1 fity ult. She was chased for twenty
four hours by the Federal -fleet on the
coast of Cuba. The Florida captured
the brigs Estele, Cora, Annie and Wind
ward, with cargoes valued at §300,000.
Slie burnt the vessels and t.ook off the
crews.
The Florida also captured a bark,
which had taken off 700 soldiers from a
troop ship, wrecked on Abaco.
Capt. Mafitt received a grand ovation
from the Southern sympathisers at Nas
sau.
The British steamer Pear), from Liv
erpool for Nassau, was captured off' Key
West.
The sufferings of the operatives at
Lancashire were the subject of public
meetings and subscriptions at Nassau.
It was declared at the meetings that
the prosperous condition of Nassau was

Southern men from the North declare
we must not deceive ourselves as to an

An article in the New York Times

Military Ciiaxiiks. —A correspond
ent of tire Montgomery Mail, writing
from Fredericksburg, Vo., says:
The 15th Alabama Regiment, I learn,
has been transferred to Hood's division,
as also the 21st and immortal 12th Geor
gia. They were in Trimbles’ brigade,
Citonewall’s corps, and were replaced by
three North Carolina Regiments.
The former Commissary of (lie 15th
Ala., Jamcp Vevnoy., of Columbus, has
been Brigade Commissary, and is a
worthy man. The old 15th Alabama
lias been where fighting had to be done
and was done, and none better than Col.
Oantey knew how to do it. On its ban
ner were its battles inscribed, there
would hardly be room for more. Its old
flag lias been pierced by grape, bullets
and shell, and never lowered t.o the foe.
Go. Dwell was proud of the loth Ala
bama, and he hail reason' to say it was
composed of the material from which
true soldiers are made. It composed a
part of Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s foot
cavalry', and could rattle off forty miles
a day and fight onee during the time.

Fixk Wool. — Happening amongst our
manufactories yesterday, we came across
our old friend Major Kellett up to his
eyes in wool, of the finest quality, which
he was having washed, preparatory to
being carded and spun for the use of
clothing our soldiers. Amongst the va
rieties piled up in a mingled mass, he
showed us n specimen of superior Saxon,,
which is beautiful to look on, and far too
fine for our machinery.
'lf it was not. that our legislators loved
dogs rather than the soldiers fighting for
their liberties, our country would now
be producing a superabundance of w r ool
of the finest quality. Well, we the peo
ple, must bow in submission to those who
are determined to protect at, all hazards
the life of animals so near of kin to
themselves, at least in sheep killing pro
pensities. May the day of sensible
legislators soon dawn on Georgia.
Button Manufactory.
We dropped in upon Messrs. While
& Sandifer, in the basement of the old
Presbyterian Church, a few days ago,
and found them, together with a
number of lads, very busy t urning out. an
excellent and handsome style of buttons
for coats and pantaloons.
It is proper to add that Messrs. White
,t -Sandifer have barely gotten under
headway yet, and could not make as full
a show of their various operations as
they will after a short lime. These gen
tlemen are also cutting out wood for
Matches, which receives the igniting
composition in another portion of the
city.
They have also in "process of construc
tion machinery for making horn buttons
and rice buttons, in all of which we wish
them the greatest of success. From the
stump, so to speak, they have carved out
their machinery, and got it. under way
under much annoyance and difficulty.
A'prize which require, no effort to obtain,
is not worth having, hence these gentle
men will the better appreciate and en
joy wliat their energy and industry lias
brought them.

Answer to Enigma sent yesterday by
Trio, Reconstruction.
Wanted RtqTuits for tlie 201 it Ga.
Regiment.
1 am here on detached service for (he
purpose of using my endeavors to fill the
ranks of the 20th Ga. Reg’t.
This regiment went into the service
among the first in defence of their na
tive land. The casualties of battle and
the exposure incident to hard campaigns
have reduced it to one-third of its origi-
nal strength. If an appeal was needed
to the patriottc citizens of the land, it
would be only necessary to point to the
recent, proceedings of the Executive and
Legislative departments of the Federal
Government, From tlie one, the eman
cipation proclamation is issued, from the
other comes the act to raise an army of
150,000 negro soldiers to be let loose up
on the South to murder our citizens,
desolate our land, find not* only in con
junction with the white hirelings to de
stroy our liberties, but to exterminate
our people.
The following is an extract from the
order under which I act :
“Parties (recruiting officers) selected
should be impressed with the importance
of the most unremitting exert ians to ne.-
coniplisll the mission for which they are
sent, as upon their exertions will depend
in a great measure the suffering our
country is to undergo before we can con
quer a peace. AVith our ranks filled our
labors will be short and easy’. But if we
are obliged to continue the war with
small armies against large ones, Ihe war
may be prolonged for years. Every en
couragement consistent with law and
regulation will bc given those subject to
the conscript law, and to those not sub
ject to this law who may desire to join in
defence of their homes.’’
AVlien our accomplished leaders iell us
(bis. is it not time for our people to rally
with one accord to drive the black inva
der back.

posing the regiment;

Recruits for any of these companies
will be paid the usual bounty and other

Those subject to the conscript law can
