The. financial condition of our country
is at this time filling the minds of our
people with anxiety. This is neither
strange nor unreasonable. The country
is Hooded with paper money. Every
thing for sale is held at fabulous prices,
and Congress, instead of taking measures
for diminishing the amount of treasury
notes now in circulation, are, in all prob
ability, about to augment the evil. The
"Teat financial question of the day is,
how to reduce the amount of paper money
now in circulation. This question could

nerve to apply the remedy. No nostrums

People’s war. They made it, they fight it,
and they expect to foot the bill. Tempo
rising measures, which arc intended by
the Representative only to deceive bis
constituents and save himself, will result
in irreparable injury to tlie general well-

fear that demagogism rules our Congress.
If it does not, let those who arc sent there
to act for the Country’s good, rise to the

man say that the people would not bear
taxation in such a cause. They know
that the debt is theirs, they expect to pay
it, and there will never be a better time
to begin than now. It is an impeachment
tipon their good sense or their honesty to
say they will not bear taxation to pay
their just debts. Those who have not

even their own blood from the cause, will

i.ir.rohi IllTVVlctl with Miiprcnir Power.
The Congress which ended its session
a: Washington city on Wednesday last,
appropriated all the money and men Lin-
c In may need to carry on the war for the
next two years. They went further and
gave him power to act independent of
1 'ingress and outside the law and the
C oititution. In a word they have, made
Abraham Lincoln a dictator. AA’liat cares
Le now for the “opposition” in the next
1 ongress? lie holds the purse aud
tlie --word, and if Congress dares to
attempt to impeach liim, he will enter
the Lulls with his soldiery and dis-
;erse it, as his minions did the’ late Iven-
sneers and abuse, are doing all in their
power to discourage them, and to
drive them back again into thc arms
and support of Abe Lincoln. AA T hv is
tins, and what can be the motives of
these men? Have we not got ene
mies enough? Or have we got too
many friends and allies already that
those who would be our friends and
allies are spurned with contempt? If
we do not wish t® receive the North
western States as Confederates, there
is- no necessity for spurning their
friendship and alliance. Foremost
among those newspapers that are
taunting and repelling the Northwest
from our friendship is the Richmond
Enquirer. A short time ago that pa
per was among tlie most firm, cool,
conservative papers in the Confedera
cy; now it appears to be verging to
wards ultraism and fanaticism. Can
not this change be accounted for by
tlie influence of that hot brained, fa
natical Irishman who has lately been
received into the editorial corps of
tnckv Convention. Lincoln to-day is in
the exercise of a power more absolute! tl ia t paper. At any rate some 0 -t ie

A dispatch dated Feb. 17, states

that the successes of Gen. Grant’-s new
cut-off' in the rear of Vicksburg, is
now the talk in military circles. With

Lara ter of the Government under
tueyLve? They cannot help thems
pre-tent. The yoke is upon thei
a nl they must wear it, until the time ar
rives when they can change their rulers.
®nt it is possible that Lincoln may be de-
lare : permanent dictator by the people;
by assuming the power lie may pro
nounce the Government changed and com
pel the army to enforce his edicts. The
people of the North arc in the hands of
t-e army, and the army is under the con-
' n ' of Lincoln. The Northern people
■tow find that the very army which they
• 4ve raised to crush out the liberties of the
pco.de oiyhe Confederate States, is being
tiled to uproot tho foundations of their
own government, and reduce them to a
• as.-alage as galling as any tyranny ever
—tp-s- d upon an enslaved people. I hat
•‘0 enemies of Lincoln’s administration
" d go into tlie army and fight to make
‘ohi Military Dictator of their once proud

fry. But he lias had a million men in

“•fry was then a unit. How will it be now
^ i. Lincoln’s Conscription army, even if
us it is good policy to get help from ev
ery quarter we can to fight the common
enemy, and if we cannot make active
partisans in our favor, of the North
western people, yet there will be
much gained if they can be drawn from
the support of our enemies.

Dear Sun—Notliing has occurred since

dull monotony of camp life, save the little
repast furnished by the enemy’s gunboats
in their bombardment of Fort McAlister
on the 2d inst. They must have tired sev
eral hundred tons of shot and shell during
the 21 hours cannonading, with but little
effect, save the dismounting of one of our
guns, and slightly wounding two men.
Our gallant little band, with more than
ipartan firmness, \vithstood successfully
the shock of battle, and two hours after
