Milledgerille, Nov. iOtb, ISS3. >
To tJoe Gtntral Assembly ;
Justice to the citizeos of Georgia, and to
the great cause iu which we are atrugtiinw.
requires that I invite jfour attention
iLHt.ter which I consider of vital ifaportanee
and urge upon you to take such action as
will lead to the application of the proper
remedy for an existing evil. For the hit
eighteen months I have repeatedly stated
that, in my opinion, our great not difficulty
will be in maintaining our supply of provis
ions. If we can do this, which
power, with God's blessing, if not abused,
we have nothing to fear from the power or
armies of the enemy. Deeply impressed
with the importance of this subject, 1 eon
siuer the waste of the necessaries of life as
highly culpable, and anv {rctiojp of ths Gov
ernment which causes suen waste us u.dfor
tunate and unwise.
Entertaining these views, I am obliged to
conclude that the tithing system adopted bv
the Congress of the Confederate States, wits
an unfortunate error, which can only bo re
tiieved by an entire and early change of
policy. ‘ *
I think it safe to estimate that at least
one third of the amount of the tithe or tax
in kind of this State will be wasted and lost
on account of the want of store room, and
the mismanagement and carelessness of the
Government agents, who, unfortunately, arc
seldom practical planters, but are in very
many cases, young or inexperienced tuen,
who have but little practical knowledge of
the business in which they are engaged.
The result is that large quantities of shelled
corn are thrown together iu heap* aud left
to must and spoil, or to be wasted by hogs
and other stock on account of the insuffi
ciency ot the store rooms to protect it
r odder or hay in bales is hauled to the com
mon place of deposit, and is there thrown
*ut without cover unu permitted to take the
ram as it falls and i? soon ration. Pota
toes and other like productions, collected in
places remote from the army, are almost an
entire loss. Much of the meat, if collected
at the time fixed by iavv, will be thrown to
gether in heaps before it is well cured and
will bo tainted and spoiled.
It i3 not reasonable to suppose that all
the government agents appointed, us they
arc, Will look uttsr and tu«c care of the gov
ernment stores, with the «ume cure and dili
gence exercised by planters and producers
in looking after their individual property.
Again, it every agent were as faithful us be
would be in the management of his own af
fair it is not possible in many cases for them
to procure store houses in which they can
keep such large quantities of provisions as
must be collected in many eouurit-a oftb-
State. And it is also worthy of considera
tion, that in a large number of counties in
the State tho stoichouses are so lar from
Railroad transportation that it is worth near
ly half the tax in kind to haul it to the
road, when m these very counties there is
not, on account of the absence of so much
of our productive labor iu the zuHirarv
field, a sufficient supply of provisions to sus
tain the lives of the people. The conse
quence is, the government must pay a very
large amount of money for hauling the tithe
of the county, and the State must then
appropriate money out of her Treasury and
purchase corn elsewhere, and pay a large
amouut to haul it back to the sumo place,
to sustain the lives of soldiers families.
This system is not only working badly,
and causing the waste of a large quantity of
provision greatly needed by our people, but
it has so far as I am able to learn, given
general dissatisfaction.
The people are perfectly willing to pay
in the currency of the country any amount
of taxes which the necessities of the govern*
ment may require, till we are through this
struggle. But they are not willing to pay
a tax in kind which is very burdensome to
them to deliver, and which after all their
toil, they often have the mortification fc© see
wasted without benefit to the government
or any one else.
In tho present condition of the country, it
seems to me that there is but one course left
for the government to adopt, which will do
justice to all, sustain our cause, and be sus
tained by the people ; and that is, to repeal
the tithe law, go into the market, ana pur
chase its supplies at market value, and im
pose a tax payable in currency, sufficient to
absorb all that portion of the currency which
it cannot iuduce the people to fund, and
which is in redundancy of healthy circula
tion. This would not only be the best reg
ulator of piices, but it would relieve the ag
ricultural class of the UDjust and unequal
burdens which are imposed upon them un
der the impressment acts as now executed,
and cause the burden of sustaining the gov
ernment to fall alike upon all classes of our
people.
I therefore recommend the passage of a
joint resolution by this General Assembly,
requesting our Senators and Representatives
in Oonareas to use all their influence and do
ail in their power to procure the speedy re
peal of the law which provides for the im
position and collection of a tax in kind; and
to prooure aueh moditicatione of the impress
ment act as will compel the Government to
pay the market value as just compensation
for property impressed by it. And to urge
the passage of such laws will require the
tax in future to be collected in currency,
and will absorb any redundancy of the cur
rency caused by the payment of just coni'
pcosatioa for property purchased by the
Government,
a aui quite sure the people of Georgia are
wiiiiDg to hear their just and full share ol
burdens ot the war. and to pay any tax
Lecessary sustain the credit of * the Con
fuatraey.
'ibej are well aware thut it is infinitely
better to pay their debts in the present cur
rency, than to avoid taxation now and have
to pay in gold or its equivalent after the
war is over, inis remark applies with as
much force to the maiatainance of State
credit as ot Confederate credit. I think I
may safely say that there is not a member
ot the Senate or House of Representatives,
who, iu the njauagement of his own private
busiuei»«, will borrow the present currency,
and agree to pay back dollor for dollar in
gold utter ihe is over. I will say fur
ther thut there is not a member of either
house, who has a single sensible oonstitu
eut, who wilt make auy such contract. How
then cau we justify our conduct if we do
for the State that which no one of us would
do tor ourselves, and which no prudent citi
zen ot the Slate will do in the management
oi his own private aflairs ? If we refuse to
assess u tax sufficicut to raise the sums we
appropriate, we are guilty, it seems to me,
at this inexcusable tolly, as we must then
borrow tor the Suite the present currency,
and bind the people of the State to pay the
amount we borrow, in gold, after the war is
over. 1 am sure that nine-tenths of the
thinking men of the State will agree that
it is tar better to meet otir expenditure by
taxation, to be paid in the currency, than
tu accumulate a State debt at present rates
to be paid here after in gold or its equiva

From Mexico aiul St. Domiuso.
Correrpoudenc« of the Xew York Times.
Havana, 10.—-Gen. Licoago, a
Mexicaa who sulci himself to tho French,
occupied Jaiapajwithout reflistanco. But on
the next day C'ol. Diaz Miron interposed
fiiin.sea between Julapa and Veru Cruz, and
nu tidings have since heeu heard from Ja
lap.a.
lhe French army, now under the eoin
to-tnd ot Gen. Bazaine, had bcou divided
iuto three divisions. Gen. Mirumou com
mauds the dd, which consists principally of
reuegade Mexicans uuder Marquee and otb
was soon to leave for France.
The correspondent of the Biaro of this
city reports that two receptions took plac
ut the palace Almonte, one on the Bth auu
the other on the 15th uit.; and he states
that » r the ratter a letter, purporting to be
an autograph ot Maximilian, was produced
aud passed around among the guests, in
whicti tho Archduke accepts the throne of
Mexico, aud in which nothing is said about
conditions. The snine correspondent says :
The enthusiasm in Mexico in favor of the
Empire borders on frenzy/ 7
From Tampico we learn that recently in
Hurstaco the French attacked, and got
the worst of it, losing 90 men, besides hor
ses and ammunition. There were about
400 French soldiers in Tampico, which
place was surrounded by Mexican troops,
and a battle was constantly expected iu the
itreets, which, rroin the great odds against
them, cannot but result unfavorably for the
French.
By the fapanish mail steamer from Cadiz,
we learn from Teueriffe that on the 15th
ult. the rebel corsair Georgia arrived there,
45 days from Simon’s Bay, where she had
been in company with the Alabama. The
Vanderbilt was approaching the bay when
uie corsairs fled percipitately. The Georgia
had been ordered to leave Teneriffe j but on
manifesting her need for coal and provisions,
she was allowed to take them and remain
until the morning of the 28th ult.. to await
the arrival of the Cadiz packet, '.Phe latter
did not arrive uotil the aftornoou of that
day, and at 11 A. At. the Georgia was or
dered to sea, and steamed away to the north
east around the island. She has probably
gone southward. Her ninth and last prize
was the ship Gold liunter, Capt. Crosby,
who, with his crew of 14 men, was left at
Isnerifre, and taken care of by our worthy
Consul, Air. DabDey.
The state of affairs in St. Domingo re
mains uncharged. The new Captain-Gene
ral, Varga 8, hud arrived and been favorably
received, and his arrival will probably alter
the aspect of things on that island.
Gen. Rivero arrived here very quietly.
Little attention has beeu paid him, and few
know of his presence.
The St. Domingo rebels are at the very
doors of the capital, and General Gaudara,
on his way to San Cristohi l, had three en
counters with them, '‘always dispersing
them.’’
TnE Maryland Election. —The New
York Tribune is very happy over tae elec*
tioo in Baltimore. \\ hile expression its
joj over the result it says :
Both Branches of the Maryland Legisla
ture have a clear majority in favor of call
ing a convention to make Maryland a free
State. \\ e have carefully classified both
parties, and the Legislature will stand large
ly committed to emancipation, la tie Sen
ate 12 members out of 21. and in the House
52 out ot *4, and pledged to a convention
for making away wirh slavery. Besides, it
is thought many of the Union members who
are not pledged to a convention will likewise
vote for it.

Tho gods sued it marvelously well, however,
unu so dees the temple, though a mu w h l

Iu the temple, ne gods a. and wotMuiper*
are so numerous that one calls them no lol

iittie god on tho or percipiiate your
head into the stomach or a big on« b.-aced

two, and taco each other in a G«'a and Ma
gog style. In hight they are An*ki, each
standing a eight foot above the level
of the floor, w’ith.iut counting ia a alight,

a few inches more were it ironed out,—-
Each has ouo foot perched on a ffuppuiitioux
rock, while the other rests on a paper tiger
all the night through. One holds a golden
apple in his hand, plucked from lj on*

a golden wreath. They are spaugiea liL
harlequin, and bearded and moustached likn
bogus barons. A chronic lassitude rests on
their features—probably occasioned by ha,
ing been up all night. Before them i
spread either a late breakfast or an earn
lunch, but they seem in uo hurry to attacL
it. Undoubtedly they feel safe in the a
surance that no one else will eat it. Rang
ed around the wall, in convenient little ~n
try boxes, stand fudgy little god . with
splay feet. These be the common “.E
of the concern. One of them is habit,
like a Christian martyr, and has th- JoE
roust look of one condemned to be burned.
The apprt hension seems not entirely ground-*
less, as a number of torches aro lighted cluso
to his feet. Should they burn on, th« spec
