Both houses have since passed it over the veto. [communicated.) F,d. Advocate —l see that you have taken the correct view of 'degislalion fur the benefit of the people” about to be inaugurated l y our over patriotic law makers. It will indeed be a sad day f>r us, when onr Governor’s and Legislator’s take upon themselves either to enlarge or restrict trade ; to build tip or destroy monopolies ; to increase sup ply or diminish demand ; fur history teaches ns that whenever or wherever attempted, i' has failed of its pnrpos •, and o|»erated to weaken the confidence of the people in the government. I understand dieobject of this strange. I might say peculiar Georgia LegLdalion is to destroy monopolies. If this be so tin y should nol forgot, that in all com mercial speculations as the purchaser does not buy for bis own consumption he proportions his purchases to what lie expects to sell. Since then the quanti ty he can sell depends on the price he sells at he will buy less according ns the price rises and more according uh it falls ; this I may say is the univ trsal law of trade as evidenced in every com mercial con munity, and to vary it by law is certain death to trade. In un settled times objects of the commonest use may exceed the means of the con sumer, i <•., shoes may be cheap yet *.»u of th reach of many, because leather does ind fall '<> a level with the means of the people. Ought the law making power therefore to oblige me to go bare foot, who am able to pay the prices charged by the tanner, because my neighbor happens to be poorer th in 1 am, by throwing around the manufac turer such paines and penalties as will close bis vats and stop his currying knife. N<t so. Government was in tituled to secure the citizen in the en joyment of I oth political and personal rights And whatever he m.iy acquire by dint of superior intelligente indus try and perseverance in the prosecution of a legitimate busin ss or calling is pecnlittriiy his, and any interferaucc on the part of g vernment is destructive ol these rights lessens Ins allcetion and confidence in hi.-; rulers and p'-epares him tor any change in government how ever despi tic with a hope that under it, personal and private rights inay+e respected. The value ot an article is what it wili tiring in the market. If the. price of this article is fixed by law below the charges of its production it at once is discontinued, for no one is willing to labor fur a loss, and he who lived before by (he production ot this article must of necessity perish. ’I h • establ slut.ent of fixed rates is a suppression of a portion of production and consumption, in other words a d - iniinition of the jn’osperity of the com munity which consists in production and consumption. Let a scarcity of corn L-ome, Ihe price rises in consequence, yet the laborer or mechanic may by re doubling his exertions or by increasing his wages proeijre l)is accustomed sup ply at tlje njarfecC price. In the mean time the legislature fixes corn at h ill its natural or market price, what fol* lows? I who had supplied myself and wojild have bqtjght no more had it re mained at its market value out ot su p< rtluonscantion, and to take advantage of its cheapness, get the start of the la borer and add to my own stoic what the natural cotir-e of trade! Itape goije to tire lab >rer. I have by op eration oflaw.ii.d capacity to buy, taken ) :j (JmibL- {.h ire and leave the mechanic ' destitute. He then has to work for me | at my prices, for labor, not corn, or jt-r- i ish at his anvil. The sale is no longer j regulated by Avimts and nivalis, but by i superior activity ot trad mb. Under this rule you Ibro- every m in to become i a trader, who has means 11 this be ’ i srue, fixed prices gives us a scarcity in stead of plenty. I bold ibis to be true 1 a law that fixes the jn’icc of things m i nugatory and st rves only to alarm pre du*-»-i ■ ..nd consumers, de.r.tug. s the I vor. XVIII—XO. 50 ! natural proportion between production ! and demand, which if left L> i.jjtri-'if, would, i work out bcneficittlly for both, and if j th? many would be followers of Lycur i gus assetn led at Milledgeville will at- I tentively read history and think before ' acting, they will leave the prices of our productions to govern themselves. I could but deem it un necessary to .demonstrate the utter absurdity of thy rate of profit fixed by this bill, but dc tiist fi elittg satisfied that sensible peo pie and probably one or more metnbeij i f our Legislature do. Lincoln’s war, j and a de ermination to be popular, seems to have bereft cur legislators of the iitile law making sense th y sent to' De VAI. THE CO.VHNC; OF Til i IJ.Si CO XORESS-EFFICIENC* OF THE ARMY OF THE POTO.MAC—OPEN -1 NO TRADE WITH THE SOI'TJI. “Ion,” the special Washington tors respondent of the Baltimore Sian, wri ting under date of the 22d inst., says; The approaching sessicn of the Con gress will no doubt be protracted in’o the slimmer months m>: withstanding the desire of members to spend their time and wag-.-s at liotne and the cred - it they might cl dm of a month's ser vice already at the extra session. The business of the session will be as im portant as it will be novel. I will open a new era in the history of thu country, and pvrh.tjis determine its fate' fur some time to come. Th'! extent of the c; erations of the war will demand much attention, and a number of inves tig’ations into its incidents will be necessary. Several committees ap pointed at the I ite session will make their reports, and others will be ap pointed. I'orcign complications may arise, and tequire attention. The char acter ami objects of the war nt ty un dergo an essential ch 11 ge, for ali -.tdy there exists a large pa. ty that favor* the prosecution ot the war lor the pur pose of emancijtating slaves. It is just four months since the bat-. | tie of Bull Run, and llr-ught it is not ■ tu be signalized by an -advance, yet eve Iry one seems to be convinced, by t.'io sjdendi I review of the grand uriny of the Potomac that the preparations re quisite for a movement are complete.— The rumor that the Confederate army on the Potom ic wa.i disorganized ia quickly followed by another that it - is re-organ’zed. The two armies face' each other and are ahi ost in sight.— Which will move forward first is the question, for neither will retreat. As to winter quarters, the |-\dvrsd troops on the other side of the Potom ac have already much improved their accorninodalions. Their tents are com fortable by log and clay basements, ami many of I em have .some eort of a firc-[ lace. If, say some of lite offi.-crH the iroops be inform edthat they me to remain where they are, thev will soon make their qn liters tolerable, with thu means they 'lt tve tit hand, in logs, brush wood, clay, empty tiarrchs, &c. Complaints are made in some quar ters of the project ot Senator Simmons for furnishing the enemy with salt, su gar, coflt.-e, &c., in exchange for cotton. _it i< objected that the G overntm'nt policy is to deprive lie C.mleder ites of sm.h necessaries. There is no dan. ger, however, at present, that much cointne.ee will be opened with them.— All the cotton that we obtain must be taken by force, if, indeed, it can be fore id in atty large quantity. — i’lti'M I Yiti-.r..--The bleamer Ida, which , arrived from below yesterday afternoon, brought 1:0 news ot interest from lybee. We umlerstaml th it the enemy landed a rc.jtment of the Island yesteiday af ternoon, and that there are probably fifteen hundred to two thousand troops now encamped there. Seven vessels are inside of the b tr, but none were in sight outside yesterday afternoon The troops on the island are said t<> be throwing up eaithworkc at.d en trenching themselves Since the shell ing afi’iir on edttes lay they keep at a respectable distance from the port in the day time.--.Sbrann /i A’cir*-, 29/A. fiSFThc Memphis Avalanche says an officer in the late fight at B -limmi, ex presses it as his opinion that the exten sive repot ts about the < oncentrution of troops at Cairo, and their pimspeclivo attack on (Hlumbus, is all in ended as a feint, ami that the real point of attack is Bowling Green.
