The Cause of the Failure of the Con
federacy.
As was to have been anticipated, Gen.
Joe Johnston’s book is exciting very gen
eral interest, and is being made the sub
ject of comment by the press of the
country, even before it has reached the
general public. A chapter from the book
has been copied by several of our cotem-
j«jraries, in which Gen. Johnston gives it
as his opinion that the failure of our
cause is mainly to be attributed to the
failure of the Confederate Government
to provide money for carrying on the
war, which he thinks might have been
done, in the first year of the war, by
purchasing the cotton crop from the owners
and sending it to Europe, as fast as pos
sible, to be sold there. The General
thinks that if this plan had been
promptly adopted the sum received from
the sale of the four to five million bales
of cotton “would have enabled the War
Department to procure at once arms
enough for five hundred thousand men,
and after that the Confederate Treasury
would have been much richer than that
of the United States.’’
None will doubt that Gen. Johnston has
given the true cause of the failure of the
Confederacy—the lack of the sinews of
war—money. But the question arises, was
the scheme which he favors, and which
was discussed at the time, practicable ?
Mr. Memminger, who was Secretary of the
Treasury in the first year of the war, has
published a letter in the Charleston Newts
in which he maintains that it was utterly
impossible for the government to make
the cotton of the country available in the
manner proposed. First, because it had not
the money with which to purchase it from
the planters; and, secondly, because with
out means of transportation under a block
ade it was impossible after the commence
ment of hostilities to get the cotton to
Europe in any considerable quantities.
All the currency the government could
provide at tho time was needed to meet
the daily demands on the treasury, and if
the cotton had been purchased for bonds,
“the bonds would have been thrown on
the market to meet the necessities of the
planters, and their value as a means of
funding the surplus currency would have
been destroyed, thus breaking down the
Confederate currency within the first year
of its existence; whereas the plan pursued
sustained the credit of the Confederacy
until broken down by calamities under
which no credit could survive ”
There were at the time, as we well re
member, and there will doubtless con
tinued to be, differences of opinion on
the subject of the financial policy of the
Confederate Government, and while the
discussion of the subject and the devel
opment of the circumstances of the case
may sustain the views of Mr. Memminger,
still the fact stated by General Johnston,
that the prime cause of failure was the
want of money to purchase arms and
munitions of war, will remain uncontro
verted.
The North Carolina Sensation.
. Nothing new of interest in regard to
enomenon at Bald Mountain, North
transpired within the past
advices from the
by the corres-
, who has
ae of
.he
says:
just returned fron
sive exploration of Stone and Bald 1
tains to roost for the night at Chimney
Rock, foot of Bald Mountain. On Stone
Mountain I met a number of scientifics
from South Carolina College, including
the State Geologist from that State. I
experienced the shocks and convulsions
on both mountains, but they were most
severe on Stone Mountain, which is really
the seat of the volcanic disturbances. I
have an interview to-night with the scien
tifics, and will return to the mountain
again to-morrow, Sunday. The people
are much excited and alarmed.”
The editor of the News expresses the
opinion that the reported disturbances in
B ud and Stone Mountains are not canards,
ns nave been supposed by some, but real
uomena, the development of which
is being watched with intense interest by
the.“scientific,” and with fear and trem
bling by the unsophisticated ••tar-feels’’
in ihe immediate vicinity; We rather
suspect that the affair will culminate in a
grand and startling demonstration of
plntoniau forces about Wednesday next.
I, t no one be surprised if, on the morn
ing >f the 1st pros., the telegraph should
announce that Stone Mountain had sunk
out of sight, and that Old Baldy had had
the top of its head blown off.
One of the most intelligent newspapers
in the country is the New York Nation.
While it is charmingly independent, its
tendencies have been sufficiently “radi
cal” to relieve the following remark from
any suspicion of being the offshot of par
tisan bias. It will be worth while to con
sider it:
After tho close of the war, there arose
the same complacent mode of viewing
the questionof reconstruction. Give the
negroes the ballot, we said, and prevent
any political discrimination on account of
race or color or previous condition of ser
vitude, and all will be well, The result
has been the return of a large part of the
South to a condition of barbarism. We
have there made life and personal liber
ty safe, but many of the things which
make life and liberty worth having are
gone or going.
This is a very fair and candid state
ment of the situation to corns from a
Radical journal. While honest Northern
men are coming to their senses, Southern
guerrillas are reporting at Radical head
quarters for service under Grant.

The Famine in India—The Rice Chop.
—The latest advices from India represent
the condition of the people recently
threatened with famine as being much
improved. The government supplies ot
grain having arrived, are being distribu
ted and the distress relieved. The New
York Bulletin, noticing the effect qf the
change on the home market for rice, $tyg:
“As regards the supply of rice, it may be
said that the situation in Bengal has about
ceased to exert any direct influence upon
that commodity here. Recently there
was quite an actire demand for Havana,
in anticipation of the duty which goes
into operation there on the 1st of April,
but for the moment tho market has set

ir in which advice is
they express the opinion that,
under the usages of the church, Ply
mouth Church erred in dropping a mem
ber from its roll because he had abandon
ed the church for some time, especially
while charges were preferred against him.
The letter of remonstrance and advice with
which the correspondence commenced,
the report stated, was not uncalled for.
The report concludes by censuring Ply
mouth Church for its actions, but at the
same time it advised the other churches
to inaintaiu the same fellowship with
Plymouth Church as formerly, with the
conditions that if they erred again they
should be blotted out from fellowship
with other congregational churches, The
Moderator, who read the decision, then
stated that this was the advise of the

Tyrrell, of CoviDgton, correspondent of

ed Hon. Harvey Myers, at Covington,
Kentucky, this noon. Both very promi

was the result of a grudge of long stand
ing.
Colonel Tyrrell, after shooting Hon.
Harvey Myers at Covington to-day, did
not attempt to escape. His friends think
he is on the verge of insanity, owing to
domestic troubles, his wife having made
application for divorce. Some months
ago he received a stab wonnd which was
near proving fatal. Myers was Mrs. Tyr
rell’s attorney, and it appears he gave of
fence to Colonel Tyrrell by putting cer
tain questions to him during his examina
tion of the divorce case in court.
This morning Tyrrell went to Myers’
room after the examination, and an alter
cation ensned. Myers ordered Tyrrell
out of the room, and the latter refused
to go. Myers then attempted to ejeot
him, when Tyrrell fired on hint The
dying declaration of Myers has been

Dr. Schenck’s Standard Remedies.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are Schenck's Pulmonic Strup, Schenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake
Pills, and, if taken before the lungs are destroyed,
a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled taccess in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the longs; nature throws it off by an easy ex
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
gtofnach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act
on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is
soon relieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative; the alkali, of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents soaring. It as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pul
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal of
fice, corner of Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
phia, every Monday.
Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. mar30-M,Th,Sa-lm
