January Ist, 1884.
Erratum—la our article yesterday morning on
“Restricting Cotton Planting to ona acre to the
hand,” read “to supply the demand for meat for
twelve hundred thousand,” instead of “twelve
millions of people.”
Waiting to See.
A sadden seriousness, if not panic, has laid
hold on the business community. That restless
hunt after something to buy, wbioh erstwhile
displaced itself in the gait and features of “men
commercing,” has wonderfu.ly subsided. What
is the cause of this great change? Waiting to
see wb it Congress will do with the currency,says
one; waiting to see the upshot of the exemption
bill, s«ys another; waiting, justastheir prototype
Mioawber did, ventures a third. Whatever may
be the caure, the phenomenon, wo have stated,
exists. A friend told us yesterday that oottorr
even “King Cotton,” had no worshippers. Well,
something is going to happen, surely—if it don't
some body will bo fooled.
Subjugation.
To give rigidity to the nerves and strength to
the resolution of such as may be wavering in the
purpose to fight on to the dealh, unless our inde
pendence be sooner aohievad, we publish this
morning, from the Richmond Examiner, an arti*
ole containing a thorough analysis and a precise
definition of the above term. We doubt if the
most abject and chicken-hearted will not take
oourage from its perusal, and oonoiude that in
dependence or annihilation is the only alterna
tive now left to tho Southern people.
Gena Hardee and Cleburne.
We learn that these distinguished leaders of
the Army of Tennessee are now in Montgomery,
and that they will pass through this city en route
to th rir commands. Our oity authorities have
telegraphed for definite information in regard to
their movements, and will, doubtless, make'props
er arrangements for giving them a publio recep
tion. Rumor has it that Gen Hardee has recent
ly married one of the fair daughters of Western
Alabama.
What Subjugation Means,
Try to imagine the scenes which would
take place all over this country on the first
day of acknowledged subjugation—that is,
the day which should witness a treaty lor
reconstruction upon any terms whatsoever.
From that moment, the right name o( this
war would be rebellion; as a rebellion it
would stand in history; and, what is more
to the purpose, as rebels its ringleaders
would be punished and its soldiers dis
armed. Our Confederate flag, that has
blazed in front of twenty pitched battles,
would be formally lowered, officially torn,
trampled and abolished forever, while the
accursed Stars and Stripes would be proud
ly hoisted in its place, upon every fort and
in every camp, with cannon thunders and
Yankee cheers. Some maimed and battle
worn Confederate who should be standing
by, a witness to that formality—conceive
his deep wrath and despair as he gazes on
the deed ol shame ! A hundred times he
has stood in the line of battle under that
Southern Cross; has seqn its fiery folds
flashing almost with a living passion, as
Lee or Jaehsonjrode along the front on the
morning «»f some bloody day; has seen its
tierce, incarnate glow, as it flashed deep
into tho enemy’s lines, and has followed it
throughout, mayhap with naked feet, but
with love and devotion in his heart, because
he associated tho triumphs of that banner
with a secure and peaceful home and an
hono/able future for his country; and now,
as ea ;h regiment files by, he sees the men
stack their arme, laydown their regimental
flags, salute the gridiron emblem, aDd
marcii away with heads hanging down and
hand-i disarmed iorevermore. He feels—
tho poor Confederate spectator—that all is
lost, including honor, tod will envy in his
hoar! lhOi*t) who have fallen before the
dawr ng of that day. “Blessed are the
dead*which are already dead, rather than
tho living which bo yet alive!” But lie
must stifle the imprecations which rise to
his throat, though tht>y choke him; lor this
is to no a day of jubilee, and the Yankee
guards and spies are by his side. Then
will comertbe time to garrison every town
with \ankie guards; to garrison every
court with \ aiikee judges; every church
with t ank* e preachers; and tho task will
be commenced of discriminating between
those who are to be “pardoned’’ and those
who are uot to he pardoned under theproc
lama imi which the base Ibe has addressed
to us. No man who does not take the oath
—the oath ot unconditional support to the
enemy, and unconditional denunciation of
our own kindred and children as “rebels,”
—will sit on any bench ol justice, or on any
jury, it will In- the harvest time ol inform
ers and detectives; and let them swear as
they will, those judges and juries will be
bound to believe them. Os course, tiie
enemy will not undertake to rule the coun
try without the aid of some of its citizens,
who may swear and prove that they are
“loyal"—that is to say, traitors to their
country. IVu per eeni ot the population
a;ems to be counted upon for this service.
Mr Lincoln calculates that, out of every
hundred may be I‘oynd “preadventure, ten
just men." By and through these ten he
must govern the other ninety; and to do-so
in safety, he must make sure that the nine
ty are deprived, first of all votes and fran
chises; secondly, of all arms lor sell-defence.
To attain this last indispensable object it
will be found necessary to copy pretty close
ly the code of “arms acts” and “insurree.
tioiury acts” in Ireland; under which, at
this day, whenever the Viceroy believes that
any one or more counties are threatening
disturbance, he has only to proclaim those
counties under martial law, and pour into
them large forces of police, with orders
to search the houses of suspected persons
at any hour of :he day or night. A house
ia entered at n i Inight by a police guard; ihp
iumates ars ordered to rise out of bed in
order that the beds »nd mattreifcea may be
searched for gun locks, or barrels, or stocks
or else bayonets, pikes or other weapons.
If any part of any each weapon ia found, the
father of the family is earned off in hand
cuffs to answer for bis offence.
We are not here simply speculating up
on what might possibly be done in this
country, but relating what is the actual and
frequent practice in another country, held
tn subjection by military force ; neither do
we mention it in the way of blame. If a
country ia to be held on that principle at
all, such a code and such a practice are the
mere necessities of the case ; and we sup*
pose it ia safe to assume that the Confed
erate people would be quite as dangerous
to Xjneir masters, in this condition es a sub
ject population, and would need as many
precautions and restrictions to keep them
down, as either the Poles, or the Venetians,
or the Irish.
It is imrdly needful lo remark that the
also—as in those three other
countries—would be made a bureau of
espoinage, in order to know the secrete of
suspected persons and to find out with
whom they correspond, either at home or
abroad, in Ireland, upon the mere order
of the Lord-Lieutenant, or ot any member
of the Privy Council, the whole correspon
dence of any person or persona—all letters
whether to him or from him—may be, and
often are, examined and copied in the
office, and then re-sealed with a counter*
foil of the original seal and address, and
forwarded, as if nothing had happened.
Then, also, would be the reign of “Com*
missioners of Forfeited Estates," whose
operations would be extensive, and their
duties arduous indeed ; for their functions
would not be confined to distinguished be*
tween the oath-taking loyalists and re*
casant malcontents oue gpod time and so
having done with it; there are always re*
lapses from this species of loyalty (and we
know the offered terras of pardon require
oath not only to be taken, but lo be persis
tently observed,) and Yankee claimants
would be instant snd greedy, and inform
ers zealous and well paid, and courts and
juries complaisant and accommodating.
It takes no effort of imagination to con*
ceive this state of tilings in alt its details;
there is no imagination at ail in the matte/.
When the sun sets, it is not by imagination,
but by induction, we know that clouds and
darkness will comeover us. Neither could
the liveliest fancy ever hope to equal the
real facts of the case as they have been
perfected by the ingenuity of centuries, and
practiced with invariable success in many
lands,
lo short, if this Confederacy should be
defeated, or should consent, on any condi.
lions, to lay down her arms, before having
assured and established complete separa
tion and independence, all the evils that
ever lay heavily on a conquered nation
would be her’s. Being weary of the “Hor*
rors of War,” she would find that she had
rushed into the far more horrible horrors of
Peace. Peace hath her vtctories; and the
victories of such a Peace as this would be
won over the proud hearts and manly
spirit of a once haughty people, until they
should almost accept their place in that
sad procession of oppressed races, which,
clothed with humiliation as with a garment,
and with heads bowed and feces veiled,
follow the triumphal cars of.their conquer
ors in the great march of the nations down
the broad highway of history.
And our masters would be the Yankee nation.
Think of it I No high, imperial Hoorn of Roman
off—no eagle brood of the blood royal of kings—
would be our suzerains and taskmasters; but R
mean mob of the lowest of the white races of the
earth : and with whom we have foißSd it utteryly
intolerable to live, even as equals and fellow
citizens—these be your kings, oh Confederates !
Impossible! some may exolaim; it is not in the
very nature of things that the higher race should
be vassals to the lowpr. Alas we never disdained
the Yankees more than the three million haughty
nobles of Poland despised the coarse and cow
ardly Mnsoovite. When that splendid kingdom
was independent, and its brilliant nobility OR
some set day trooped to the plain hard by the
Vistula, with banner and plume, to seleot a sov
ereign Jacellon, who would have dared predict to
them that their children’s backs wonld one day
be made acquainted with the Muscovite knout I—
that scions of their priucelisst houses, even their
noble ladies, deep in Russian dungeons, would
be foroed to give evidence by soosfrging, admin*
istered by the lowest policemen. Impossible.—
Why, let our arms onoe be laid down, and the
thing is not only possible—it is as good as done.
We must sink at onoe to a vassal people, object
of the scorn, at best, the pity of all the world.—
Then it will be in vain that we shall hold out oar
hands to foreign nations for help or sympathy;
there will be no hearing, no showing for us en the
earth. In vain, then, shall we conspire in secret
dens to devise at last some means of desperate
resistance—in the most secret of our chambers,
wherever two or three are gathered together,there
will oe a detective ia the midst of them. What
woald we give then to see bat ownghalf tbe army
in the field that we have aotaally on foot, by
God’s mercy, this day. Weaball not break the
bright Confederate swords this we may one day
blindly hopelessly clutch at a splinter of it.
Toe Confederacy is still in the open field, not in
the catacombs, the caverns and the culverts.—
The free air of their native hills still blows upon
our soldiers' brows, and lifts tbe proud folds of
their banners; their battle bugle still wakes the
morning, and their arras yet shine in the sun.—
Lot not those noble Confederates Shrink from
bold belligerents into a rabble of skulking rebels,
trafficking for pardon, fearful of their own shad
ows, and withering away in dens of conspiracy
under the poision braeth of the Informer.—[Ex*
aminer.
For our own part, says tbe Dispatch, referring
to some of the croakera and their groans, we do
not heliere that our sapse has ever been in such
a promising condition since the commencement
ol the war. We have, temporarily, lost much ter
ritory, it is true—that was to have been expect
ed from the moment it was determined to throw
away all tho fruits of onr first great viotory at
Manassas, and to rely for our preservation solely
upon a defensive war. It was to have been ex
pected, we report, that an enemy outnumbering
us so greatly, would seise and occupy much ot
OHr territory; tut expecting tfcua much, it was
not to be accep.ed as a sign of ultimate triumph.
In the meantime the proportions of the war have
been greatly reduced, and ike enemy cannot re
inforco*one army withgpt robbing another. Con
gros> have it ia their power to put into tbe field
an army fully equal in numbers lo that, u of the
Yankees. Indeed, if the stragglers, who are scat
tered all over the countryman be brought back
to i hoir colors, we feel assured that we have al.
ready a force quite equal to the task of repelling
any enterprise that the Yankees may undertake
let its seal be as gigantic as it may. Staaggling,
we are prone to believe, ia the result of lax dis
cipline, and disciplineis to be expeoted only from
good officers. Let all those regimental and com
pany officers from whose ranks the large bodies
of men are straggling, be rendered mere strictly
responsible in future —let the penalty be reduo*
tion to ihe ranks, or some other of proportionate
severity. Let Congress busy themselves with the
discipline of the army, and atop hunting down
the poor devils of clerks, who are shivering and
starving on SISOO a year, Memmioger currency,
and go calmly to work, not act as if they were
frightened out of their uvea, end things will as
sume a brighter aspect.

The attention of Congress is almost absorbed
in the consideration of matters in secret session.
The Hease is said to.be making some progress
with the cnrrency and tax bills.
In the Senate this morning, the Judiciary Com
mittce reported a bill which peevides that all
persons owing military service, who shall depart
beyond the boundaries of the Confederacy, with*
ont pei mission of the President, with intent to
evade military service, or who heretofore left,
with snob intent, or who heretofore or hereafter
remove within the enemy’s lines, within bounds
of the Confederacy, shall be held as alien ene*
mies, subject in person and property, to laws re
specting the same. ;All sales or transfer of
property by snob persons, after the passage of
this aot» shall be deolarecl fraudulent and void;
ordered to be printed and placed on the calen*
der.
In the House a bill was presented to amend
the anti-substitute law, lately passed, so that its
provisions shall net apply to any who are actual
ly eng aged, by his own labor, or superintending
the labor of others raising food, and was so en
gaged on the first of January last. It was strong
ly urged that it was the duty of Congress to en
ooorage the prodaction of food to support tbe
people and army. That the tenth es what was
made last year, was not enough to support the
army, and heavier drafts on the productive labor
of the country oould not be sustained; referred to
the Committee on Military Affairs.
It was alleged on the floor of the House that,
In epi'e of act of Congress and general orders of
the War Department, enough able bodied young
men are still employed in the Commissary Des
partment to make an army corps. Tbe War
Department has asked additional legislation,and
a bill to that effect will be submitted and refer

The Special Committee reported a bill to estab
lish a Veteran Soldiers' Home, and provides that
tbe Secretary of War purchase a safe and suita=
ble location, and erect a building. All offioers
soldiers and seamen, retired or discharged, by
reason af wounds or sickness on the line of duty,
shall be entitled to be received into this institu
tion aud maintained there, and receive pay same
as in service; made the special order for next
Monday.

Gen. Grant in oharge of these together with
such other forces in the field as may be required
with them—Congress to adjourn from the 4th
of Match to 4th June, and all members under 50
to take part. This bill was referred to the Mil
itary Committee, and passed tbe Yankee House
of Representatives on the 7th—ayes 89 to nays
24. A motion to lay on the table, made by
Colfax of Ohio, having been rejected, hq deola

full authority over the poople, or any portion of

spiracy and treason for such authority, there

A Financial Scheme.
1. Repeal all existing laws authorizing the
issue or sale of Bonds by the Confederate Gov
ernment, and permit no funding of Treasury
notes subsequent to the passage of this act ex
cept in the Treasury Certificates hereinafter
provided for.
2. Antborize the issue'of three hundred mil
lion dollars Treasury Certificates, bearing no
interest, in denominations of not less than one
hundred dollars each, which shall be luudable
six mouths after the ratification of a treaty of
peace between the Confederate States and tho
United States, in six per cant. Confederate Bonds,
the coupons of which shall be payable in gold, and
receivable in payment of all public dues, and ior
the payment of which thirty per cent of the
revenuos of the Government shall be pledged.
3., Authorize the sale of these Certificates to
the highest.bidder, after, ninety days advertiso'
merit,
4. Impose a tax of fifty per cent upon all Con
federate Treasury Notes heretoiore issued, to be
paid within one hundred days after the passage
of this act, and cancel every such Treasury
Note which is not stamped with the receipt of
the Tax Collector within that time.
ADVANTAGES OF TQIS PLAN.
1. It is estimated that .this plan will retire
six hundred millions of Treasury Notes from
oircula son, and thus relieve the currency of it*
inflation. Upon the assump. ion 'that, by the time
this scheme goes into operation thero will be
$700,000,000 Treasury Notes in circulation, and
that the Certificates would command a premium
of sixty«*ix and two-thirds per cent, which is a
reasonable estimate in view of the prospective
tax offirty per cent upon the currency, $500,-
000,000 Treasury Notes would bo funded in
Certificates There would thus he left $200,-
6OP,oOoiin circulation, one half of which would
be taken up by the fifty percent tax upon tin
currency. The $100,000,000 ihua aha. rbod by
taxation could here-issued by the Government,
thus maintaining the circulation at $200,000 00q
which, k is estimated will furnish a sufficient
currene^.
2 It twill at onoe extinguish three hundred
millions of the national indebtedness ; absorbing
$200,000,000 <n premiums on (ho Curtifica’.es,
and $100,000,000 by taxation.
3. It retires the currency without sw«-)iiDg the
interest account of the Government. It is iru
Interest wjil begin to accrue after the termina
tion of itbe war, but by the reduction of the debt
and the retrenchment of our expenditures, conse
quent upon a healthier currency and an improved
credit, it is believed that ottr national indebted
ness will not be so large but that wo can easily
provide for the interest.
These are the prominent advantages which
recommend the foregoing scheme, and upon them
it is submitted the the public.
AGKICOLA.
Wilmington. —The Richmond Whig says:—
The ciroomstances of the reinforcement of the
enemy at Newborn and otber points on the coast
of North Carolina, have produced the b lief that
Wilmington is to be one of the points of the en
emy’s particular attention, this winter. Some
facts which have come to onr knowledge within
the past two days, tend to strengthen that con
viction, though it would be improper, for good
reasons, to indicate them.
Independent of this, the fact that blockade
runners have run into this port frequently during
the past year, which is well known to the ene
my through their blockading fleet, is alone suf
ficient to justify such an anticipation, if opera*
tions are continued by them to any extent before
the return of Spring. The Yankee papers have
more than once intimated such a design.
Retaliation in North Carolina.— The Rich
mond Whig pays, U will be remembered that the
Yankeo Gen. Wilde captured and recently hung
a Confederate soldier in Eastern North Carolina,
and left him hanging with a placard on his back
as a warning to others. We are credibly inform
ed that seme of our men have captured a white
officer and two negro soldiers of Wilde’s com
mand, end intend to retaliate for the murder of
their comrade at the identical spot.

such exemption. In cisea of disability, it will be
stated whether the certificates are permanent or limi
ted. In case of agencies exercised by regular appoint"
inent from ihe War Department, that fact be set f„rth
and the date ot appi intment furnished.
Wnere it is believed that ihe public service will
suffer serious hurt bv the immediate conscription of
any such employees, fu 1 report will be made of the
grounds of such nelief m racA particular case it order
that limit m«y be specially allowed for appeal to ihe
War Ilepartment. In all other cases, i. is puiposed to
enforce immediate conscription.
2 Like returns are also demanded from all Qov
eminent contractors and other persons, or companies
having in their employment soldiers, conscripts, or
persons litble to conscription, of all such persons so
employed. The failure to turnish these reports, fully
and correctly, will render the parties liable to forfeit
all privelege or ai l from the Government in the way
of details. Tne object of dem Hiding the report is to
scrutinize the legitimary and reasonableness of exist"
ing details—not to withdraw any that ate legit i mate,
or to dislocate industrial organizations of general
usefulness. The repons o f patties engaged in sup,
plying the c immunity, will rpecily whether the profits
demanded in sales l ave exceeded seventy-five per
cent on the cost of p.eduction.
3. The reports and returns above, mentioned, will be
addressed to ihe Inspector General of Conscription,
Macon, Georgia, and will be rendered with the least
possible deity G. W. LAY,
Inspecior General of Conscription.
