from Charleston leads us to believe that the

pression—among those mentionable are the
entire absence of all Yankee land and naval
forces around Savannah, except the garrison
of Fort Pulaski, and the hasty withdrawal of
the semi-African force from Jacksonville for
the avowed purpose of joining in the attack
ifpon Charleston. These, connected with other
circumstances, make the imminence of the
assault more than probable. We expect eve
ry hour to hear that the preliminary disposi
tions of the enemy have begun.
MACON TELEGRAPH.
TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1863.
FBOU THE MACON LIGHT ARTILLERY.
Kinston, N. C., March 80, ’63.
TAa a soldier oil the march, and time wears
bewily to him. Place him in comfortable
quarters, after severe exposure to the weather,
ud be knows not how to appreciate or enjoy
tbe conveniences allowed him. So, Mr.'Editor,
hu it been with ns. V o are comfortably
quartered in the town of Kinston, about thirty
nilM from Ncwbern, in the houses that have
long been deserted by patriotic citizens, who
bare transferred their fiynilies to other parts of
tbe State, safe from the attacks of the enemy.
We are as comfortably situated as we could
desrc—all we have is the empty houses to
bdge in. 0< course a soldier must not think
of furniture. A bare covering for his head is
1 a biasing to him—and we are now enjoying
tbe sweet quiet of undisturbed rest, anxiously
waiting to receive a battery of new Napoleon
guns which have been promised us. However,
all ot us arc not exactly at ease. ’
We have been idle ten or twelve days; and
oar ruling authorities at this place, acting up
on the good old maxim, “Idleness begets la-
ims<’ (good, in its general application, but
obi bow inestimably bad when individually
or personally applied!) on yesterday sent SO
ot our men to take command of two guns be
longing to a North Carolina battery, which did
not contain men enough to man their guns.
Our two detachments loft early, and are now
joined to an expedition that is moving in the
direction of Well, it is impossible to
tell where it is going. Time may say. No
one seems to kuow here.
I nm sorry to announce that private G. W.
Lamb, wounded by the explosion of one of our
guns during the light at Newbem, has Since
died. He died at the hospital in Wilson, this
Stole, some ten days ago. Corporal A Waitz,
who was so badly stunned, and pronounced
dead where he fell, has entirely recovered,and
»ogain in camps. Private Chadrick, whose
leg we3 broken, is still in the hospital at Wil-
son, doing well.
This sad accident ought to be a warning to
cur Government manufacturers of cannon.
Three guns out of six from this battery have
exploded—two heavy 30-ponnders at Frede
ricksburg, and one 20-pounder at Newbern.—
It was a very foriunate circumstance that as
many as twenty lives were not lost. Proper
one is sometimes not paid to the matter. Some/
times too much haste in getting guns ready
tor use is displayed, and the consequence is
Mme brave soldier is injored in the first fight
in which the guns are brought into action.—
Private G. W. Lamb was a good and brave
•oldicr. He fell on tho field of battle, while
nobly discharging his duty in front of the in-
wlent foe. He dies a patriot’s death, and if
pntnotism be a virtue worthy of such a fe-
ward, his disenthralled spirit now rests in
peace beyond the boundaries of time. “l)ulce

FINANCIAL SUGGESTIONS.
An intelligent correspondent sends us the
following, which we take leave to present in
his own words:
“ As others are doing, I am watching our in-
ternal affairs with much interest and anxiety.
Our external or military operations are well
enough, as well as under all circumstanced
they can be, directed by able and competent
Generals, and supported by hearts of oak and
nervos of steel, but I confess our domestic
matters are not so satisfactory.
“Entire relief in them of course can only
come with peace, which we cannot sue for, and
which must come first from our relentless ene
my. But may. we not do something in the
meantime to alleviate present distress, and to
restore measurably a proper condition of things?
I have read and thought over thq many plans
proposed, from official sources'and in the news
paper press, but none of them seem to me to
strike at the root of the difficulty. ’ My own
reflections lead to the following conclusions,
which I submit to your criticism. Let the
Confederate Government buy up at a fair valu-
tion all of the cotton in the country, and make
Treasury notes a legal tender-and then let the
State repeal its “ Stay Law.” By the first, the
foundation of speculation and of extortion
would be withdrawn from the market, and
would create a oasis on ■Which foreign loans
might bh predicated, and the credit of the Con
federacy maintained without State endorse
ments. By the second, debts could be collect
ed and individual credits determined. The
price at which Government should purchase
the cotton should bo at a little above the gold
standard; and the quantity sufficient for do
mestic consumption may be purchased from
properly appointed agents at the price paid for
it by Government.
Add to this measure the one now being dis
cussed, of a direct tax by Congress, say of
one per cent., which on the true value of real
and personal estate of the thirteen Confederate
States, os at this time, say $5,269,423,616,will
give a revenue of $52,694,236! I take the
value of the thirteen Confederate States, in
real and personal estate, from the census of
I860, $6,369,428,616, and deduct $100,000,-
000 for aamago caused by the war,about a fair
estimate, rather large, perhaps, but so much
the better for my calculation.. This measure,
it seems to mo will not only restore confidence
at home but create confidence abroad in our
ability to maintain ourselves and to meet our
debts. Let foi eign nations but be assured of
our financial integrity and dur recognition and
peace must sgon lollow. What think you of
the measure?’ I bavo not time to elaborate the
essay, and therefore I throw it out to you as a
suggestion which your practical mind may ins
dulgc.” *

NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.
To the Editor of the Richmond Whig:
I have jnst returned from an excursion
through a portion of Northwestern Virginia,
and having ascertained, as near as possible, tho
enemy’s force in that country, I submit it to
you as follows: Beverly, 350; Clarksburg,
800; Phillippi, 50; Leedsville, 25; Buchanan,
1,500. Tho 8th Virginia and 28th Ohio are
there, commanded by Gen. Moor. The entire
force in that section, including tho railroad
guards, will not number over 2,500.
The Union men are not as sanguino of sue.
cess as they w6re some months ago. They
begin to see that there is a prospect for a change
of affairs there, and many of them are changing
their sentiments and opinions as it regards the
final resalt of this war. Some of the most rabid
Unionists in my county (Harrison) have be
come very quiet and inoffensive, declaring that
they no longer have any scruples as to the suc
cess of the Southern cause. Many of them
manifest a spirit of hostility to the bogus gov
ernment of Frank Pierpont, and swear that
they will never again sanction the proceedings
of the chattering Ape who rules the hour at
Washington. They are doing all thoy can to
defeat the election for the new Stale.
From what I could learn, tho people to
Northwestern Virginia have about, come oi
this conclusion: They concede tho right of se
cession, yet they pretend that none but the
Cotton States had any cause whatever to se
cede.' I believe that they would willingly ac
knowledge the independence of those States,
provided that they could re unite the border
States to tho Old Federal Union ogain. But
if wo have whipped them enough to make
them willing to compromise on these terms,
wo will make them willing to compromise on
any terms. They no longer regard us as a
“ weak, cowardly and uncivilized ” people, but
dreads us as a powerful nation, with undaunted
courage and military discipline..
Those who are secessionists in my coubty
arc becoming more bold and daring. They
are in good spirits, with great hopes of suc
cess. Many of them are longing for an oppor
tunity to revenge the oulragos of the Yankees
among them, and to assist in dealing them a
blow which will send them hack to the granite
hills of Now England, content to live in pence
with a people whom they cannot conquer.
J. G. R.,
Captain, Provisional Army, C. S.
New York City, which can scarcely faiL to
meet the approbation of the wise portion of
uie Southern peoplo, and which ought to si.
lence effectually those less wise, though no
less sincere and patriotic, who have thought it
good police to discourage the few peace makers'
at the North. He declares that it is the duty
of the Democracy of his section to advocate a
“vigorous prosecution of peaceho pronoun
ces th8 idea of restoring the Union- by force
“ the most extraordinary absurdity that ever
entered the imagination of manhe main
tains inflexibly the doctrines of State sove
reignty, and proved it beyond all question be
fore tbe meeting by exhibiting a coin issued
by the Slate of Connecticut in 1787, after the
Confederation was dissolved and tho State had
resumed its delegated powers and was exer.
curing the fight of sovereignty by coining
money; ho avows that ho is for pe%ce “ even
if tho Union cannot be restored,” and for po»
tential reasons, which he is not afraid to state.
“Because,” aays he, “without peace, and per
mitting this (Lincoln’s) administration for two
years to exercise its tremendous powers, the
war still existing,-you would not have one
remnant of civil liberty left among yourselves.
The exercise of the tremendous powers, the
apology for which is the existence of this war,
is utterly compatible with the stability of the
Constitution and constitutional liberty.” ThiB
must bo admitted by tho most fiery of South
ern anti-conciliators to be bold and very strong
language. Other passages equally fearless and
cogent could bo cited, but tho above suffice to
show the animus of the speech and the
speaker.
True, Mr. Vallandigham is a reconstruction-
ist, not from motives of policy, and to avoid
incarceration in a bastile, but honestly, truth-
fully, “from the bottom of his heart,” as he ex
presses it. This should not excite surprise,
and still less resentment in the Southern mind.
The marvel is. that ho can see os clearly as he
does, from his stand point, the certain over,
throw of the liberties of the North and the
Northwest by the prolongation of the war, or
that, seeing it, he should caro to arrest, in tho
germ, a military despotism, which, fully devel
oped, would be, as many in tho South concur
with the Abolitionists in believing, the best
form of Government for the Northern people.
That the love of liberty, which is part and par
cel.of the very'blood in his veins—for he is of
Southern extraction—should fire his heart,
and that the warmth of his emotions should
cloud his judgment and constrain his thoughts
to tho not uncommon filial relation to the
wishes, is surely no wonder. Is it absolutely
certain that we, who seem to perceive so clear
ly. the utter impossibility of reunion,“are our
selves entirely freo from the mind-warping in
fluences of an indigation, which, however right
eous it may bo, is nono tho less powerful in its
affects upon the intellect.
Let us first take the beam out of our own
eye3 before wo grow restivo and pettish, be
cause of the mote in tbe eye of Mr. Vallandig
ham. . He has set us a good example in dis
claiming any wound to his sensibilities, which
he tells us are not less aeuto than other men’s
by reason of the somewhat churlish greeting
which his well meant overtures for peaco have
been received in Richmond. Ho rises far
above the littleness of personal pique, as ono
of his noble aims might bo expected to do,and
it would he unbecoming and un-Southern in
us to exhibit less magnanimity than even tho
greatest of Northern, men. But tho fact is,
Mr. Vallandigham would have omitted oven
an allusion to Richmond, had he but known
how largo a proportion of tho thinking classes
at the South have evinced a willingness to
meet himself and all other sincere peace ma
kers in a spirit of peace. And it may be well
to add that “Jefferson Davis, Benjamin and
Hunter,” who are instanced by Mr. Vallandig-,
ham as particularly hostile to his policy, arc
by no means so bitter and irrational as ho fan
cies. This is said not “by authority” save tho
authority derived from a knowledge that, the
gentlemen in question are endowed, quite as
highly as Mr. Vallandigham, with the respond
sive impulses of humanily and the faculty of
common senso.
While paying the distinguished Ohioan the trib
ute justly due his courageous and honorable efforts
in behalf of peace, we may tell him,in a few words,
why his splendid dream of reconstruction can nev
er be realized, and how it is that he cherished it so
long, in spite of the’sorest discouragements. But
for the fact that in his category of the influences
which will conduce to reunion, he places duty noxt
to interest, patriotism after duty, and adds to these
“the desire of a great country,” we might suppose
that his speech wasaddressed toaSouthern assem
blage, and indulge, for a moment, even atthislato
day, tho delusion that there still exists at tho North
a class, analogous to our own Southern race, of
liberty-loving, law-abiding people. Alas 1-there is
none such in all those ^populous and fertile Slates
above the fine of Mason and Dixon. Had there
been, no plea oi restoring the Union weuld have
driven them to war upon their unoffending breth
ren—no'pretextof tho exigencies of war would ever
have made them yield tamely to arbitrary arrests,
suppression of free speech and of the habeas corpus
—no shallow subtifuge wouldhave'sufficedtoglozo
over the InsurrcctionProclamation and induce them
to submit, with slavish readiness, to the monstrous
crime meditated by that atrocious instrument. No;
there are no people like those of the Southern alltlie
North, or, if there be, they are far too few to make
a party which would follow Mr. Vallandigham, or
any great leader, in that thorny path that leads to
freedom. To be sure there are thousands of Dem
ocrats who will applaud Vallandigham, when lie ap
peals to their interest before their honor or their
patriotism; but tTieir shouts are inspired by tho
demon of party and the hope ot spoils, or else b
that scarcely les3 fiendish spirit of pride, whic
pants for reconstruction, because, as Mr. Vallan
digham well explains, it “desires a great country.”
It is the glow of 1ub own high-toned, humane na
ture, thrown upon the audience, which makes the
eloquent orator from Ohio see, in the faces around
him, a fire that lias long since died out, and a lu
minous love of freedom which burns in no breast
but his own. The people of the North are fit only
official position, have bffsely sacrificed two of
their countrymen and Government officers to
propitiate the smiles and to deprecate the anger
of the contemptible Government at Washing
ton. The transaction is not only mean and
base, but it reflects disgrace upon the British
name. It is another proof to sustain tho gen
eral belief that Earl Russell is under Washing
ton influence to a degree injurious to the dig
nity' of the British crown, and that Lord Lyons
has condescended to become the lacquey and
tho tool to tho false and unprincipled Seward.
Tho immediate pretext for the removal of
Mr. Magee consists in the shipment, some
mouths, ago, of $200,000 of coin from Mobile
to pay interest on bonds of the State of Ala
bama. The money was welcome in England,
but the Yankee Government complained that it

BRITISH CONSULS.
If the Confederate Government do not take
the initiative in sending away tho gentlemen
who -were consuls in our ports before the se
cession, but who are now permitted to exer
cise consular functions here without authority,
it would seem that the English Government,
so far as it is concerned, is disposed to recall its

he was a new man and perfectly relieved.

A CARD. -
Mosticello, March 18th, 1S63
This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with
Bleeding Piles for (41) lorty-ono yeare past, acd that X
have suffered thcrctrom beyond what Is possible for
me to describe, olten bleeding so much that I was not
able to go to the house without assistance, and for the
last twenty years, have not been .-.hie to perform more
than half my daily labors, and sometimes for weeks not
able to do any thing in tn; way or work, aucLhad to be
assisted up ana down. There used to bo from eight to
ten tumors, which In the last four or five years, have
all concentrated Into one, surrounding the entire parts,
and protruding out to tbe length of at least one and a
halflnchea. in this condition, on the 2Sth of Febrmry,
in the present year, Dr. J.A. Clopton found me, and
operated on me for tbe same, which ooeration I be
lieve to be folly successful, andfeclthatlam cured of
th jlv sufferings are well known to the old Inhabitants
ol Tallahassee, among whom I lived and suffered for
thirteen years past. Well, thank God, who in his
kind providence eent Dr. Clopton to Monticello. who
has by his skill In the att and his kind, I miy rav,
brotherly atlentlo to me, relieved me of th-.s most diB ■
treating andpainlol disease.
This certificate Isa free and voluntary act on my part,
in gratitude to God and the Doctor, who reinsert toro-
eeivoacaut from ms for his rervlces. Issylree and
voluntary, for the Doctor has pever hinted to motha
ho desired anyacknowledgrrffent from my hand.
No one afflicted with Piles need fear to su: mlt to au
operation from Dr. Clopton. H. R. BERRY.
Mr. Berry stands aa high In point ot honor as
any Gentleman of Florida. He is onoof the moat zeat-
ous and prominent members of the 51. E. Church. t His
case was said be the worst ono in Florida.
