From Charleston.—The telegraphic news from Charleston leads us to believe that the gr&Dd abolition assault upon that city is at hand. Other circumstances confirm the im 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 <t ittus est, pro patria moriV The weather has been very bad and changes able—more rain than sunshine, and winds tnongh stirring for ten days past to have ox hausted the lungs of old Boreas, thcnca causing bis demise ami the absence of foul weather for ««• " Rkbther, THE TIMES.

Winchester Bcdlctin, 3d. 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.” * YALLANDIGHAM’S w bPEEOH. . J Thus .these two English statesmen, of whom Mr. Yallandigham has delivered an address 1 the world expects a loftiness of tone, of justice Defor&the Democratic .Union Association of ar >d courage equal to their exalted rank and by telegraph. 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 Was a breach of the blockade by connivance and contrivance of the British Consul.

Tnn Decline op Gold in New York.—By our last advices gold was worth only 139, a de cline of nearly 83 cents.

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 own consular agents, and especially such as have shown .sympathy with the Confederacy. Sometime since Mr. Bunch was called homo from Charleston, whero.be had been long known and respected, and where he had be come distinguished for his Southern feeling, More lately Mr. Magee, British Consul at Mo bile, has been dismissed, not becrfhse of any complaint against him by our Government or people, but in consequence of accusations mado at Washington, by tbe Secretary of State of s foreign and hostile power.

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.
