4iscnaa this question < alruly, and lake t me for
its settlement It is pre-eiirnentlv a question
of dollars and ceots. which the lights of experi
ence, as furnished by this count- v, will do much
to settle upon a sure nod safe basis. There is
one very atrong reason for the policy of direct
taxation, and that it, the check of (he popular
will, under the* system, must always be more
afitaasl sad hHelW?ent than under the indirect
plan. It is in vain that objectors urge that
States now pay-og hundreds of thousands must,
by direct taxation, pay millions and that our
people will not pay millions when they once
paid hundreds of thousands. Who pays for us
as it is ? Where does the money come from
which keeps the wheels of government moving,
if it does not sp.ing from the pockets of the peo
ple ; or, in other words, from production ? Cer
tainly it sounds discreditably for the public in
telligence to say tis true the people pay the
money at las’, but they are in n sort ol mesmeric
state from poiitic.il manipulation, and pay with
out knowing ii. This will not do. The chief
corner-stone in the Temple of Liberty is. the
will of the governed is the essential principle
of the government. No hocus pocus is neces
sary if we give the people light; and any ques
tion entering into the polity of our Confedera
tion will reach a pea eful and wi e solution if
we seek the truth ingenuously. If thirty mil
lions are more thao a vigorous administration
requires, let the superfloos millions then be
honestly left in the pockets of the people to
whom they belong. Cut off every needless ex
pense, and it does seem to us that the Adminis
tration of the Union of the Cotton Steles should
cost hut very little more than (lie aggregate
expense of the Administrations of the several
States composing the Union. A few l gh -houses
—a few shins of war—a few foreign represen
tations—are all the realty necessary extra bur
thens we w.ll be called on to prov.de for. The
Post Olfice Doper.meat can and must pay its
way and our people, if no other will, must show
the world how this can be dooe. Our Foreign
Miuislers must not be stipendiaries of the
government and nothng else. Six thousand
dollars paid the salary o! a Secretary of State,
but suppeis and dinners and all soils of fantas
tic display for the Ministers wife and daughters
cost, we belive. $19 500. at the Court of Saint
James. Why cannot six thousand doiiais pur
chase the services of the same weight of talent
abroad ? Rut for banquets and the awe of stars
and garters they would do it. Local consuls,
nil over the world, should supersede special
agents sent abroad. Then let the bats occupy
the custom houses—let pirates, by courtesy call
ed the ‘ first-class powers,’* build Navies for
their predatory excursions. We want a Mer
chant Marine after a while, but no large Nnvy.
Cotton will build and freight it after we have
done with our Cousin Rail's ships.
We wsnl no better army than our well drilled
and uniformed Volunteer Companies will give,
ready for actual service when called for, and
made up of the pic ted men of the country. The
few soldiers kept in gari ison will not cost much.
That they will be lew let the state of affairs
existing at this very moment tell the tale.
As to the expense of the collection of Federal
revenue, one single column more to every Re
ceiver’s digest—ooe or two more words in the
oath administered—will do ths work. Five hun
dred dollars in the largest county fn Georgia,
added to the Receiver's salary, will meet the
expense of the additional service. Bat this is

| Mr. Wright, of Georgia, presented the
lowing Bill:
i shall be t
tributed so largely, by their patronage,
to encourage the growth of anti Slavery senti
ment as that of Southern merchants.
Such ia, and has been, tbe love and fondness
for Abolition firms in New York and other
Northern cities, by Southern merchants, that
they preferred to patronize them to the exclu
of sound conservative establishments. We
know an Abolition firm in the city ol New
York that sells to the State of Georgia more
goods than any ten firms of that city combin-
This firm have beau fattened and feted bv
Southern merchants, until they have become
bold and defiant in the expression of their in
cendiary sentiments. Nevertheless, iMs firm
pientsof the same amount of South
ern patronage.
Such is the wealth of this Abolition firm,
that from one to ten thousand dollars is a small
amount for them to contribute, at any time, to
the cause of anti-Slavery. Is it not, then, in
tolerable that Southern merchants go North
at this time for the purchase of goods ? Is it
not giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Is
it not humiliating to our cause, and our sec
tion? Every candid man must acknowledge
such to be the case.
And now that Georgia and six other States
have absolved themselves from all connection
with a people so intent upon the destruction of
their interests, it is certainly in bad taste, not
to aay bad faith, for Southern merchants to
continue to patronise our most dire enemies.—
There is neither excuse, cause, or propriety in
any merchant, at this time, going to New York,
or without tbe limits of the South, for the pur
pose of purchasing goods. The fact is, the peo
ple do not want the merchandise of tho Free
States at this time, they are willing and anx
ious to replace Yankee fabrics with homespuns,
linseys, de. The Cotton States are prepared to I
wait for the luxuries of merchandise until they 1
can be supplied by Direct Importation. We do ,
hope, for the future, that our Southern nier- |
chants, if they expect to be patrouized, will j
procure their goods from England, France, !
Belgium, and other trans-ALlantic markets, in- j
stead of aiding to build up, at our doors, the
isms of the North.
Lincoln's Last Ovation.
Wasuisgtox, Feb. 23.— Mr. Lincoln arrived
here by the daylight train from the North this
morning. He was incog. His arrival had
been fixed for this evening.
The short telegram we publish above gives
this ovation, telling the tale in a few words.—
8hort as it is, in two or three lines, it compris
es more deep significance than we have seen
many long months in the same space in a
newspaper.

Savannah has failed to do her duty. She has

It seems from the annexed extracts that
sotue dissatisfaction exists iu certaiu auctions
of the State in consequence of the late Army
appointments by Gov Brown. We have also
heard complaints, not at any particular ap
pointment made by His Excellency, but be
cause of his injustice to a large portion of tbe
citizens of the Slate in selecting all of his offi
cers from one of the great parties which lately
divided our people. Wesubmit this as impartial
chroniclers of the times—yet justice compeis
us to say that whlie nothing is easier than to sit
in judgment upon the dispensing of Executive
patronage, nothing, on the other hand, is more
difficult, iu all the range of official perph-xi
tics, than a satisfactory division of hnuors or
emoluments falling to the Prerogative of the
chief officer of a State. After the very best
that can be done, many are to be disappointed
—not a few treated unjustly, and all outraged
who do uot get what they ask:
We would like to know of Oov. Brown what
have we. the people of South-Western Georgia
done? If w« are not mistaken, it was in tins
portion of the State that the greatest victories
were achieved f»r Southern Rights, Southern
interest and Southern honor. Then, w hy is it
that now since tbe battle has been fought, and
victory achieved, that we. who were the fore
most in the contest, are denied not only to par
ticipate iu the spoils, but are even denied a
share of the honors?

also by such badges of honor as
lished by the War Department.
On presenting the above Bill, Mr. Wright
said, I do not propose, Mr. President, to ad
dress the Congress nt length, on this Bill, at
this time. I have presented it for the pur[H>se
of culling tbe attention of Congress to it, and
off* ring some reflections, for the Bill proposes
t«* make a very important change in the regu
lar Army of the Confederate States, whose
proposed organiz.itfon, at prtsent, is the same
as that of the Army of the United States.
The immediate occasion of this Bill, sir, was
an applica'ion, through me, to the Govern
ment of the Confederate States, by Captain
George W. Lee, a citizen of Atlanta, Georgia,
to be received into the service of the new Re
public. Capt. Lee has organized, at bis owu
expense, a Company of one hundred men, in
the city of Atlanta, composed mostly, if not
entirely, of the mechanics of that city—work
ing men. and men inured to toil. Having
drilled these men. he presents them, together
with their officers, not as volunteers tor a ser
vice of a year or two. but as those who wish to
become a p rt of the regular Army of tbe
Confederate States. When Capt. Lee first
mentioned the subject to me, I stated to him,
as my opinion, that there would he no difficul
ty in being received in the way or manner he
desired, for I thought our Republic would ueed
men, and such men as those that couipoaed his
Company. On application, sir, to the Presi
dent and come of the members of the Military
Committee, and after an examination of the
army organizitiou, I ascertained that neither
himself, nor his men, could be received as a
Company, into the service of the Confederate
States, according to the rules which obtain in
the Army of the United States ; but they could
only be received as recruits.
Now, sir. there is a vast difference between
a man wh » g-*es into the Army of the Confed
erate Stales, us a recruit, and one who gees in
as u member of an organiitd Company. 1
will take this occasion lo say, that thoro is a
vust difference between the character of the
men in volunteer companies, and in that of
soldiers who may compose our regular
Army; aud my opinion is, that the advan
tages will be all in favor of those of the Volun j
teer Division. The recruit places bims«df at
the disposal o! the Government, and may be I
com pelle«l to mix with men he never'saw be !
fore—men for whom he has no affinity, social- I
ly, intellectually, or morally. He may be j
thrown into association with meu taken fro®
the filthy purlieus of your citiee, from which
places a large number of recruits are generally
obtaiued lo make up a regular army. A man
of proper mental and moral training can never
submit to occupy that position ; no matter how
ardent his patriotism, and burning his desire
to defend the independence and honor of his
country, ho would not be willing to make such
a persoual sacrifice. He is to be commanded
by men, as his superiors, whom he never saw;
and he cannot tell whether he shall be led to
battle by a wise man or a f*ol.
The Bill which I offer proposes to remedy
this defect in our regular Array. It is n Bill
to oreatc a Volunteer Division, to be composed
of men who present themselves to the Repub
lic for service. You will observe that the su
perior officers are to be appointed iu like man
ner as those in the regular Army, aud that all
those officers, from Captain to M^jor General,
may be taken from any rank in life, from any
of the Confederate States.
But, sir, from that time, the officers of the
volunteer corps are made from the soldiers
composing the Volunteer Division, aud that
alone.
There is, sir, another important distinction
with respect to the members incorporated into
this Division, and the soldiers in the regular
Army cf the Confederate States. The control
ling consideration in this Division shall be
courage and skill; there shall be no obstacle to
the promotion of men who have won laurels
in the field of battle by their valor; and no
one can seek and obtain promotion through the
|wwerful influence of friends, which operates
like an incubus upon rising merit. The reftog
nition of this influence has been a great fault
ia tho regular service.
Oue or two obaervptioq*more, and I shall
have said all I intend to say on the present oc
casion. Without going ftirther back In h(sto
r J» Ik® in tka Crimea proves tke correct-,
nets of this plan. Tke aoldiers from England,
in the Orimean War, fought side by shle srith

he is Chairman. The organisation of tbe De- j
partment of which he is at the bead, will re- j
quire all cf his time, and it will be impossible [
for him to attend to the duti«s of a Committee.
I hope, therefore. Mint he be excused, and the »
President appoint some one to fill bis vacancy. '
This motion was agreed to.
