A few facts upou i i this point will speak more powerfully than ■ volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery. , The consumption of Hostetter's StummUi Bit ters for the last year amounted to over n half- I million boules, and from its manifest steady i increase in times past, it is evident tlint during | the coming year the consumption will reach , near one million bottles. This immense a num nt : could never have been sold but for the rare medicinal properties contained in the prcpaia.- : i tion. and the sanction of the most prominent . ; physicians in those sections of the country where the article is best known, who not only recommend the Bitters to their patients, but I ; nreaeiidy at nil times te give testimonial* to its l j efficacy in all cases of stonmchic derangements j ' mid the diseases resulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popularity, oblnined i i by extraordinary efforts in the way of triun- ; peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid i estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is I i destined to be as enduring as time itself. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have proved ' a Godsend to regions where fever and ngue ! mid various other bilious complaints have counted their victims by hundreds. To bt nbie to state confidently that the “Bitters’ 1 nrc a certain cure for the Dyspepsia ami like diseases, is to the proprietors a source of un alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid mutter from the stomach, purifies the blood, nnd imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system, giving it that tone and energy indispensable for the restoration of health, it operates upon the stomach, liver, mid other digestive organs, mildly but powerfully, mid soon restores them I to a condition essential to the healthy discharge of the functions of nature. I Elderly persons may use the Billers daily ns j per directions on the bottle, nnd they will find I in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining years, as it is plensnnt to the palate, I invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, ; mid rejuvenating generally. We have the evi -1 deuce of thousands of nged men mid women who have experienced the benefit, of using this preparation while suffering from stomach de rangements and general debility; ncting tinder the advice of physicians, they have nbandoned all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the merits of this article. A few words to the ■ gentler sex. There nre certain periods when , their cares are so harassing that nuiny of them i sink under the trial. The relation of mother i I mid child is so absorbingly tender, that the • I mother, especially if she lie young, is apt to • i forget her own health in her extreme anxiety | for her infant. Should the period of malernily i nrrivc during the summer season, the wear of ‘ | body and mind is generally aggravated. Here, ' I then, is a necessity for a stimulant to rcetipe : i rate the energies of the system, and enable the I ; mot her to bear up under her exhausting trials . j ami responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene , I rally prefer the Bitters to all oilier invigora ' 1 tors' that receive the indorsement of physi- i ’ I cians, because it is agreeable to the taste an • well as certain Io give a pernianent increase | ’ I of bodily strength. ' All those persons, to whom we linve particu- I 1 Lilly referred above, to wit : sufi'erers from 1 . ■ .fever mid ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, I , | dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and : ' all diseases or derangements of the stomach, 1 : superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary , occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult ' ; their own physical welfare by giving Io Ilos- i tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial. <'ACTION. —We caution the public against I using any of the many imitations or counter- C foils, but nsk for Hohthttuu’s Chi.kbuatkd i Stomach Bittuhs. and see that each bottle has the words “Dr. J.

Great Speech of Vice-ProSTKPIIEAJS Mt Washington, Wilkes, Ga« Eiithusiantie Hexponne of tint people of Old Wilke# —The Government Mind and Shall be Sit dallied —Tiro Thousand Bales of Cot ion Subscribed on the Spot —Our Trip to Jfashinpton, Having learned that \ iee-l’resii.lent Ste phens was to address the people of Wilkes county on Saturday last, on the I’roduee Loan, and wishing to hear the plans ami purposes of the Government more fully on this subject, ami lav the same before <>ur readers, we at tended the meeting, and made a report of the speech. The Court-House, in which the ad dress was delivered, was filled to overflowing —the assembly being graced by the presence of many ladies. Hon. Garnett Andrews was called on to preside, ami Dr. H. G, Robertson, Secretary. Mr. Stephens then arose amidst lull I ap plause, ami said : Mk. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen: I appear before you to day mainly on busi ness. The subject is ot uo little importance. It is of great magnitude. It concerns us all as much a* any u >in which I ever addressed you bef«re. Our country is at war—the most important we ever were engaged in before— not excepting that of the, revolution which resulted in the achievement of our indepen dence. To provide means to carry on the war, and sustain our country in this exigen cy, is the object of my appearance here to day. Our cause must be sustained. Ou its success every thing that concerns us in life depends. Time need not. lie taken up iu rehearsing at length the causes of the war—its origin or history. Allow me to premise, h iwever, brief 1 ly a few things in relati >u to this contest. In the first place, it i.s a most unnatural ami ir rational war on the part <>f our former Nor thern e. nifeilei-ates. Its success tin their part would end in an entire overthrow of the prin cip.es upon which our common independence was achieved. Those State* at the N >rth now engaged in this war against u*, occupy the p isitioE towards us that the British Gov ernment. did toward* the colonic* in the Re v Inttonary struggle. They are endeavoring • to govern us tigain-t our cmi.-ent. E .glami claimed the right to tax ami gov- I ern ns on the s ime principle. This right our , fathers denied. On the fourth of July, 1776, I each one of the colonies, through their legal j representative.*—eavlt State for itself— leclur- i ed their ii.depemieuce, *and pr<-chii i.ed the ; g eat truth that ad governments vlerive their ' I n*t powers f om the consent of the governe 1. | This deelarati n was le t ni ide as a nation, ' but by the representatives of each one ot the I sovereign and independent States When | the war closed. E tglan I acknowledged the : in lependettee of each one of the S.a es sepa- ■ lately, of Massachusetts, of New York, of: Virginia, of Georgia. :v d al! the other States i individually. On this same principle the i t'mdcderate Slii’O* now stami. in tbi* most ■ unnatural war, Massa.-Imsetts, that Was r«-p- ; resented by the patriot.J dm Hancock i i 1776, I now ■’< e pi', st- -ar 11 ms the - mie vl-ation ; that Englund did t> ti* iu the rev.diitio:>. It is a wai against the whole principles upon which the revolution was fought. Whtite>er may be the dangers of the tuture, let every son of revohitionary sires remember that the same priociples are now involved. We never sought to interfere witli their internal affairs. After the a knowle igment of the imlepen d -nee <4 each of the S ates separately and severally by Great Britain, a Uni' ll between all of them was foi'meti in that compact known ns the C'oi.stitutton of the United Suites.— This related to extra territorial or foreign af fairs, at.d extra Shue affair*. The regulation of all matters of domestic ami internal policy within the States respec tively. was expressly reserved to the States or to the people State Sovereignty was ne ver parted with in that Constitution or com pact of Union. Sovereign p ivveis to a limited extent were delegated, but sovereignty itself was still reserved to the people of the States respectively. We claim the same sovereignty that our fa:hers did tiie same inalienable right to self-government which they asserted, and which the States of the N 'rth joined them iu pledging their live*, their firtunes, and sacred ho lor in maintaining. This right is now denied; hence this coufl ct. When the people of the Southern States looked to the future, after the elections last fall, some thought it best to wait a little, and see what the result would be—to see wheth ei the party then successful in the election of their President, would attempt to carry out their avowed policy. (Jtheis thought it best to meet the enemy at the tfires ilmld. The gallant State of South Carolina took the lead. It was her right to re-assume the exercise of all her sovereign powers if she chose to do so, am! no one had a right to question it. This right, was secured in the principles establish ed when her, and our, and the independence of all the States wa* achieved. Other Slates s >on followed. We did not resort to arms. Our separation was effected, not through the eartritfge box, but through tiie ballot-box.— The people dec tied this question for theni selvc . Such amj.-.il spectacle nev r was w t.iessef. Ai o.ci-vvhelming tn ijoritv of the people of seven Southern States dec del that it was best to resume their sover eignty. To question their right to do so, itt vo.ves the whole doctrine upon which Amer ican institutions were founded. This great fundamental principle which undetlies Amer ican Constitutional Liberty was denied by Mr. Lincoln even before he was formally seated in his p esent position. We sent Cminnis*ioners lo settle till mat ters between us and our old confederates up on the principles of Justice and g iod faith.— We wished to have no strife—wo wished peace. We never wished to interfere with them or their institutions. If they tnought theirs better than ours, we were willing that they should enjoy thorn We, were mdy de termined that they should not interfere witli ours, or rule over us. We believe our ii.sti tutions are best for us. They are in accord ance not only with nature, but the teachings of Holy Writ, and are most wisely instituted for the benefit of both white and black. The statistics ami history of the world show it.— But all our efforts to maintain peaceable and amicable relations were vain. It never was our object to make aggressions on any State not inclined to come with u*. — YVc think Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware ought to come with us. We think i it is be*t for them; but it'is u question for : them to decide. i It is our interest to be nt, peace with the j North, ft is nit to our into est th it they j should overthrow the institutions of their fa i tliers. Wars are injurious to all people. We i and they feel it, and will continue to feel it i more, as long as it lasts. Hence, this war is unnatural ami suicidal on the part of the North. They say we begun it; that we first fired on Fort Sumter. VVe did fire on Sumter, but it was not until after we had asked them to vacate it- located, as it was, on our own BO jl—over which the, resumed sovereignty of one of our new confederates extended, and after we hnd been notified that reinforcements would be forcibly sent to it, and after these reinforcements were on the way, and almost jnt the place. The war was virtu illy begun ' - not bv the first gun that was (ire I. but by the announcement tlint Moultrie and all the other Forts in our possession should be cap tured, seized mid held by Mr. Lincoln’s Gov ernment. This was the beginning of the war. This was its declaration, and from thi* has sprung all that lias or may ensun. The ta king of Sumter was hut the meeting of this proclamation as it might to have been met.— The next step was Mr. Line >ln’s proclmmi tioii of the 15th of April, calling out, 75.000 of the militia, with nil. the shadow of legal or Constitutional authority, with a view to our coercion and subjugation—a purpose which could have been conceived iu nothing short of the in ist stupendous folly, as well a* the inosl auicidal recklessness. The < lijeut can never be attained, while the consequences will be ruiti'.us to those who undertake it. It should not be our purpose to detract from the merits, the char icter. prosperity, or pow er of the people of the North, or any other people on earth; but it may be justly said, that the most of the wealth they boast, has been acquired from their connections with the 8 itith. Their wealth is not in the pro ductions of the r soil. It consists mostly in their commerce, their shipping* their trade, their manufactures, their spindles, their looms, their foundries, their inventions, and their thoti*atid and one contrivances for sup plying the wants and the markets of the South. They Hold to the South annuallv not less than $250,0 10,000 w. rtli of manufactures of various kinds, besides the enorm ais profits accruing to their ship owners from being our jarrier* ; while they exp »rted to all the world besides, nit exceeding $40,000,000. What will become of them ? The party row in power there have always said the Soudi was accursed. Their machinery is fitted only to manufacture supplies suite I to mtr wants.— They knew our wants and were prepared to supply them, and were not prepare 1 to sup ply those of any other people. Mo.-t of what they made for us wi.l suit no other people.— This war on their part is a forcible illustra tion of the old adage of a man “'cutting off his i-'O*e to spite hi* face.” Hence the remark that it is a war altogether irrational and alto gether suicidal on their part. When, how ever, reason is blinded and passion bears sway, there is no telling where ape >ple will be led to. But there is another remark about this war which concerns us and all friends of constitu tional iioer y everywhere. Upon our success in it, depends constitutional government.— Nothing less is involve! in tiie issue. The Unit* d States have been looked to by the dowii-tro Iden of earth, as the pole star of hope, because within their limits every free tn m—every citiz hi stood on an equality.— The whole fabrick re»ted upon restraints be ing thrown about rulers No other govern m nt in the world secured such privilege*.— The will of a m tn or of a few persons, gov erns most natiens. Ol all the g •vernments in the woild, >n this alone, your President, the highest offi.-er, was bound by Liw the same as the humblest citizen. The men who m vie the 0 institution wore m-istlv Southern m 'll. Li the North, in that great' work there were few helps and aids. Dr. Franklin and Alexander Hamilton and a lew o'her aldo and distinguished men from th ; North were in the Convention, but they co itribnte I little’to the master piece of work manship. Tin'V gave great aid in having it adopted after it was fashioned in the Conven tion as it was; but it was mostly the work of Southern hand* the' pro luce of Southern S ate*matiship. Hamilton wanted a govern ment on quite a different, model, and he actu ally quit the Convention before its lab >rs closed. He afterwards, it is true, brought hi* great powers to bear, and d.d all he could to sus ain it. and to put it into successful op eratic i: buthe contributed not a stone to the foil .da ion, the wails or columns of the great supcrstruc nre. That glori us tepiple o: Lberty was the w >rk of the han Is "f Soudi ern men. If it be kept, and its principles perpetuated, it will be d »ne bv the C mtede rate States. Reflecting men have long en tertained the belief that if the Union were di*s dve 1, the North wo ild g > into anarchy and desp >ti.*m. It lias been our pride that out of tiie seventy-two years of tiie existence of the G ivernment under the Constitution, it has been for sixty years, under the control of Southern S alesmen. This has secured what ever of property and greatne-s —growth and development has marked the Country’s career during its past history. The Northern mas ses generally agreed with Southern statesmen in their poiiey, and sustained them These were the democracy of that, section. Mr. Jef fers m said they were allies. Washington’s a Iministrutinn lasted eight years. It was southern, and in the line of Sou'hern policy. Then came the elder Adams. He was from Massachusetts. Opposite ideas shaped his policy. Ac the end of four years, the peo ple indignantly turned him and his counsel lors out of power. Then came Jefferson. Madis hi and Monroe, each eight years— all southern men. Here we had thirty-two years of southern administration to four N irthern. Then came the younger Adams from the North. He was the great embodiment of those ideas which now control Lincoln’s ad ministration. At. the end of four years lie wa* turned out of power, and Gen. Jackson, a southern man, came in fir eight years. Then came Van Baren, a northern man, for four years. Then Harrison, Tyler and Polk, which added eight years m >re of so .them control. Next, Taylor and Fillmore. Fillmore was a northern man it is true, but his administra tion was sustained by the South, and so was Pierce'.*. These may be called Southern :vl miuistrations; and so was Buchanan’s—thus making sixty out of the seventy-two years of the Government’s exissence VJHfer the Consti tution. All the important measures which have marked the history of the Government, which have made it what it is, nr was before the dismemberment, and made it the admira tion of the world, were the fruits of the poli cy of Southern statesmen. The party at the North now in power have been against the country in all its leading features of public policy, which have mark;; 1 its history—espe cially has it been against all its wars since the Constitution was formed. Li the war ot 1812, Massachusetts would not send her troops beyond her borders, though the war was mainly f. r the protection of the rights of her seamen. The State opposed the Mexican war, and her people did not go there to fight the country’s battles. It is tru<! Caleb Cush ing got no a regiment and went there, but it was not comp sed of many native Massachu setts men. Its ranks were in a great measure filled up with the chivalrons Irish. This is the firs' war that has taken place since the Revolution, that she lias eent many of her native sons out of the State. It can be ac c 'Hated f>r only because it is a FANATICAL War. Every thing in our past history that belongs to the nation’s glory was the result of Southern policy and sirpport. We were all attached lo the old G ivorn ine.nt, not for the name, not for the hull, but f >r the spirit, the life an ! s >ul of it, securing as it did, equal rights to all sections. We have thrown off the Union, but we have preserved the Constitii'ion. The revo lution in this country is really at the North.- From Constitutional Government, they arc rapidly advancing to despotism. Southern men, in the hour of danger and peril, have rescued the work of their Fathers. They have taken the Constitution of ’B7, and, in stead of laying violent hands upon ’.t, they have made such improvements as time and expoiience have sliown to be proper. The changes are not in my, but of them this may b>' said: Every change made in it is of a <-.;ms<H'va,:ive >’•'ir i' tnr- :v>t one of a ia.li. - *. nature in it. They all look to a better secu rity of life, liberty and property. They all look to the better security of the right* of the people against the encroachment.* of power, or the c irruptions of tueir ruler.-. Mr. Lincoln says he makes war on us to protect the public property, and yet under ' him the public property has been destroyed , by millions. Immense amount* were burned ■ at Harper's Ferry and at tiie Navy Yard at I Norfolk. This is tin war t i protect the pro- ; perty of the G ivernmnit but to coerce and i sulijugate u*. What law was he eX'-cuiiog j when he issued his proclamation calling for i 75.000 volunteers? It wa* in open palpable ' violat oa of law that he did it. It was with out authority of law or the shadow of law.— No usurper ever entered upon a more uiic iii stitutiunal career. By proclammon he La* | increased the army 25,009. What law was I this in execution of? It was a law of his I own making, liy proclamation he has in- I creased the navy 25.000. What law was this : in execution of? A law of his own making in palpable violation of the Constitution which he was sworn to support. The Constitution was the fmiidation—the soul and life that we adore 1; that Constitu tion that our fathers made, and which the Confederate States have rescued from rhe im pending destruction of his hands, and now hold as a shield over you and y 'ur posterity, gives the power to Congress and not to the President to raise armies and navies. The President has no such power, ami a people who submit to such glaring usurpations may have a name to be free, but in fact they are ; nothing but serfs and vassals. A war to exe- j cute the laws ! By what law does lie issue i his warrant to arrest freemen and immure ' them in jails and dungeons, without informa- i tion or prosecution ‘I By what law has he , assumed to suspend the writ of habeas corpus? | By the Constitution of our fathers and by tiie i Constitii'ion of the Confederate States, Con gress alone can suspend this great writ of lib erty, which wa* extorted even from a British King in behalf of hi* subjects. A war to execute the laws! The war from the begin ning has been against law, and in violation of law—in utter violation of the fundamental organic law—the Constitution itself; and if not checked and stopped by the people of the North, it wilt inevitably end, and at no dis tant day. in an utter overthrow of every thing like constitutional liberty. Already the courts —the expounders of the law have been silen ced—the decisions of the Judge.* utterly dis regarded and condemned. Free citizens are seized, imprisoned a id possibly may be exe cute'!, without any other hearing except such a* a m litary satrap may be willing to award. All this is done nndir the pretense of ex. cu- j ting the laws, in the fiv-e and teeth of the 1 highest law. which declares that, *'l’llo right | of the people to be secure in their person*, j houses, papers and eff.'Cts against unreasona ble searches and seizu e*, shall not be viola ted ; ai.d no warrant shall issue but upon pro! aide cause supported by oath or affirma tion, and particularly deserming ihe place to lie search d and the p- r.smis or things to be seized.” And that other clause which de clares that, “In all criminal prosecutions the licensed shall enj >y the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial j ry i f the State and district wherein the ci inn shall have been comm’tted, wh'eh di-trict shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cau.*e of the ac uitMti n; to be confronted with the witness against him; to In.ve eompiil.* ry proves* I t obtaining witt.e-ses in his favor, and to hive the assistance of counsel f r his defense.’’ Such are iheprovisi ns of the Coiisutntion lie was sworn to support; but he put* himself j above the Constitution and ab ve the decisions of the venerable Taney. He constitutes him self into-a law maker, issues his edicts, and then executes them at the p >int of the liayo net. Such are acts of the man whose prepos terous purpose, a* now avowed, is to preserve the former Unio • of the Sra'e* by a subjuga tion of eleven of them! The fullest success of his purpoHe would be the completes! failure of the ol'ject; and yet strange to say, the mul titude at the North so far from rising up and vindicating c •nsiitutional principles, give* al- ■ m >st unanimous shouts to these most glaring : usurpations of power, which foreshadow their j own early doom. If these things be done in i the green tree, what will not be done in the i dry ? Ah ead v the key-note has been given out j by a leadingjotirnal in New York—the Couri er & Enquirer. State lines are to be oblitera ted. State Legislatures abolished and Slate Courts done away with. The Government is to become consolidated and Constit uri >nal bar riers are all to besweptaway. Another paper —the Tribune, gives out that the Congress to assemble on the 4th of July—what a m >ckery to the memory of thatgl >rio'i* day in onr past history, that su -h a Coiigres; will assemble on its anniversary-will probably not sic more than two d iys. Everything is arranged for them, cur and dried. They arc but to be the im-truinents ot registering the edicts of the Cabinet however unconstitutional and mon strous. Son* of the Sotuh! ol the land of Mad's m, of Jefferson, of Washington-of those who knew what the principles of « -li-governmcut were, the priceless value of constitutional liberty, and periled everything in their aeheivement! Did we cut loose too o>n from these, vour old confederates? I’tie utmost licentiousness of the France Jacobin*, in their m ist unbridled fury and phrensy, did not exhibit greater ex rava gatice and recklessness in total disregard of law and order, and everything essential to g iod government, than these people at the North have exhibited in this wild, unnatural, irrational and fanatical crusade.against us Should they succeed, this whole country. North as wel. ns South, will pre.-ent just such scenes us France did during the Reign of Terror. If constitutional liberty is to be maintained them let it be repeated, it. must be done by us. This presents some of the outlines of the magnitude of the issues invoke I in this con test. It is not only the preservation of onr soil from the polluted step of an arrogant inva ding foe : it is not only the mainrainence of our separate independence ; but the niain'a n ance of those principles which have distin guished the people of the United States above all other countries tin 1 made them the light and the hope of the world. Let us then proceed to the important busi ness this day to be presented to your consid eration. The ladies do s ell to be here. Tneir presence always docs go"d on sne.li occasions. At this liine everywhere they are found ready to do their part; but the busmess in hand is mainly with the planters. This war is upon t>s-nol of our seeking, but it lias to bo-m-'t. Means have to be provided. Large armies are in the field <S: larger still may be required. The support of armies re quires money. Our means are ample.' How best to use and control them most efficiently for the best advantage t • the Govcrmnrnt and least disadvantage to rhe people, is the question—O.i the present basis ot militn rv operations, $50,000,110'9 will be required for the present fiscal year. A 1 >ao of was made some nrrnths ago. This will soon be exhausted. The immediate wants of the Treasury can be supplied by the issue of Treasury notes, if the necessary measures be adopted to sustain their credit. A tax of $15,000,000 will be necessary to accmplish this object, before the proceeds of the pr »po-ed loan of produce, of which I intend to speak, can be made available. The rate of tax to raise Georgia’s part of this $15,000,000, if we. shall have to resort to that metsure. will be about twenty four cents on the hundred dollars worth of property. I his, it i* true wdl be a 'small fax compare I with the i/bpvi: to be attained, which is nothing less than our secu rity, salery and political existence. The Sec retary of the Treasury has been authorized to issue the notes for pressing exigencies. The means to sustain their ciedit must be supplied. These are abundanrly at our bauds either by taxation to the full amount ol the G •verimient wants or by some other means which will accomplish the same object with more ease to the people. Our resources are ample. The proposition which the government j makeaaud which is this day presented to yon is to take a loan from the planters and ,far mers of produce instead of money. The pro- 1 ducts of the soil will answer the purpose of I Hie Government quite as well us coin. Grain, , bacmi and breadstuff* generaly, are necessary ( for the subsistence of the army. These have j to be bought with coin, if we bal it in Inind ; ! whilecotti n and tobacco can and will at all , times command the coin. The proposition, ■ then is that each farmer and planter shall ■ lend to the Govermneiit-not gi .e but lend— i so much of Lis produce as lie can spare, and I receive Government buiiii.* for it bearing 8 per cent, interest. Li this part of the Suite o itton is the main staple. Breadstuff* could be got more cheaply elsewhere. Now, if a planter makes 50 bales of cotton an 1 ten will | answer all the purposes of his own use and : necessities, he is asked to lend die remaining ; forty to the Government, and take bonds at 8 ■ per cent interest instead of laying o it. his ' surplus in other kindsof property. If twenty ■ five of this fifty be necessary for his own pres- j sing necessities, let him lend the other half. ! If forty lie required for bis own wants, the.i ' let li m lend the remaining fifth of his crop. Wtiatever maybe the expec. e I surplus over i and above his pressing wants, let it be ves- I ted in GoVi r imeul bonds at 8 per cent, inter- ■ est instead of remaining idle in their hands . or put in other kind.* of properly. Tais is the propositian. It is easily understood. , Tiie form of subscription is in these word*: ■ “We, the subscribers, agree to c mtribute i to the de euse of the Confederate State*, the i portion of our crop set down to our respee- ■ live names ; the same to be placed in ware-; house, or in fact .rs hands, and sold on or be- i fore the first day ol next, and the net j proceeds of sale we d.rect to be made over I 11 the Trea urer of the Confederate States,’ for bonds f r same nui ;uut, boaring eight ; per cent, interest.” E ich one will designate the place and the . agent to whom the c tton is to be Boot, with the number of bales, and the time wiih'.n which it is to be delivered and sold. One word as to the native of the subscription here a-k ed. Oi course there cannot be c Ttainry as to the extent of the yield of the g o vmg crops. Subscriptions must necess irdy b; m*le sub ject to the contingencies of seas >is and acci- • dents. While, theref.irc, no one sh iul 1 sub ! s .tribe a bale more than be reasonably expects i and honestly intends to delive", yet, s’.uiuld ; he fail to comply with the full amount of liis j subscription from I’.ovidential or other good cause, no legal risk or forfeiture would be in curred. It is a voluntary offer and engage ment on the part of die planter. But it will lie cxpecte i, as a matter of coarse, that the terms of subscript ons will be sirimly compli ed wll in go id fait •. When s .Id, the Gov ernment b uni* for the proceeds Will be de livered, instead of bank bids a* is usually the case. Should the planters of the S mth sub scribe in this way, onlv one-'onrtli of their cotton crop, it will give the Government the command of at least one million of b ile.-'.— Upon all reasonable expectation*, the crop j will not full short of fair millions <>f bales.— ■ at prn-ent. prices would bring at Last SSO,- | 000,000—the sum required. The importance I of this arrangement bring entered i. to at this time, is that the Secretary of the Trea*tiry m ty raise means on this pledge in anticipation of the crop—a process familiar to many plan ters. In the mean time credit of the Treas ury n tea will not bi depreciate ! when the mean* are supplied for their early redemptu n. In this way the war may he waged on the most gigantic scale, if our enemies so d.tir-; mine, without material injury to our resour- I ces, or ever res >rting to any system of high taxation. If they wage it upon the princi- ; pie of we iring us out by exhaustion, they I will certainly fail on that line of policy be i f ire we shall. However great may have ' been their resourccß, they were derived, as I stated, mainly in in us. With this great! source o tiiir supplies being cut off’ by their ■ own suicidal act, whence or from what source ■ is it i equivalent t■ bm ide up? Their opera tions at present nre. n ion a basis of perhaps not less than $109,099,000, or it mvy be $150,000,000 per annum Where is this i money to come froiu? It is true, it is a q icstion that concerns them —n it us. It is a question though, not to be oves looked by us : in considering the coutingeucies if a proira.t je l war. M ist of their present m-'iuis was ' derived from their trade with us. T at now ! b.-ing cut off' by their folly, m l ines* and l wickedness, where is their new stock to come from when the the present is exhausted?— The probabilities are, they will resort to a confiscation of the estates of their merchant princes -their Astors and others like him.— This is the usual course with such revolutions. Such wa* the course of the Jac >bin*, their great prototypes. Like the army-worm, when they have destroyed the rich fi- Ids they now feed upon, they w.ll turn and fee 1 upon themselves. Not so with us. No people in the world ever had such a vast vai'ie y of res mrees.— While our soil and climate yield aliuuda itly everything necessary to human subsistence, our stapl es of cotton, rice, sugar a id tobacco, which other nations in ist have, jiel i annu d ly not much under $30J,00.>,009. Vi’e can, not only make enough breadstuff-, in our own limits to sustain our own people, but sell to others, products to this amount. With a sm.ill portion of this income fr m abroad, we can, if need be, sustain an army of one hen dre I thousand in the field for year* to c me. All that is wanted is union, co- .pcration, an I patriotic concert between the Government : and the people. If any hesitate in co-opera- ■ ting in this arrangement from any apprebo i- : sions as to the security of their investment in ■ these b mds. let such consider, an I be assured of this: let them remember and mark it: 1; ; wo succeed in the war; if we drive buck the invaders; if we achieve and establish our in dependence, they will have the best security in the whole world. The entire resources of the Confederate States—their whole prop erty and wealth will be pledged, not only to the punctual payment of interest, but the ul timate redemption of the bonds, making the investment therefore at 8 per cent interest, the best public investment in the world. Nor let any one timidly doubt of success. The people of the South can never be cun querel. Our enemies rely upon their num bers—we rely upou the valor of freemen, i battling for country, for home, an 1 evert -1 thing dear as well as sacred. Rut. if we do not succeed—should the enemy prevail— should we become subjugated, then nut • n!y will your cotton, but your land and every ! thing else you own, be useless and worthless i to you. To the overtimid and caution*, another re flection may bo appropriate. Tnis war must and will be sustained, whether they come to its aid in this way or not. Our army in the i field, periling everything in defense of the | country, of your homes and your firesides, l must and will be cl itheJ and fed and sup ! plied with all the necessary munitions of war. : Other gallant Sons will soon follow their lii\.thi’un in the field or :o till up their ranks lin case they full bes >rc the enemy.
