Confederate Bonds —The controller of
North Carolina having had submitted to him
the question of the liability of four per cent,
funded currency to taxation, has decided that
under the revenue laws of the State, Confed
erate bonds of any kind are not taxable for
either State or county purposes. The opinion
ha3 been concurred in by the public treasurer
and attorney-general.
Adjutant-General Cooper states, in general
orders number 18, that applications from the
officers of the nitre and mining corps for field
service cannot be considered. Workmen em
ployed by them may be organized and armed
for local •defense, but their military orders
must be subordinate to work, as the leading
aim and consideration, and second in impor
tance to no other military order.
In the twenty dollar bill of the new issue
an error has been discovered, which is attrib
uted to the engraver. On the left (upper cor
ner) of the plate the little seal reads thus :
‘•Six months after the ratification of a treaty
of peace between”—then opposite, on the
right: “Two years after the ratification of a
treaty of peace between,” etc.
East Tennessee. —Many despondent per
sons are of the opinion, says the Charlottes
ville Chronicle, ihat East Tennessee is forever
lost to the Confederacy, simply because its
territory is at present occupied by the enemy.
This, in one sense of the word, amounts to
nothing. After a few hard blows, we are of
the opinion that East Tennessee will again be
ours. We feel satisfied that the Federal army,
under Schofield, in that section of country, is
far inferior to ours, commanded by Generals
Buckner, Ransom, Vaughan, Jones and oth
ers. They are still in East Tennessee, and at
the proper time will speak for themselves.
mm • mm *
We are informed that the trains on the
Piedmont railroad will be run entirely through,
from Danville to Greensboro’, by the Ist of
June. At present they are running from
Greensboro’, nine and a half miles. There
remains only about fourteen miles of the track
to be laid, the greater portion being already
graded. The guage of the Piedmont railroad
is the same as that of the North Carolina.
This connection is important, not only as a
supplement to our military communications,
but it will shorten the distance between Rich
mond and Charlotte more than a hundred
miles*
High Prices.— The idea seems to prevail
with those who have produce to sell, says the
Petersburg Express, that the high price which
were inaugurated under the old currency can
still be kept up. Nothing is more absurd.
As well might a man attempt to dip water
from a falling spring during a drought as copi
ously as he did while the wet weather lasted.
Jt must be remembered that the currency is
depleted, and that jmces will have to corres
pond with the amount of money in circula
tion. This result does not depend upon the
good pleasure of either buyers or sellers, but
is a law df finances as supreme as the law ot
gravitation. Combinations and monopolies
may, for a time, arrest the downward tenden
cy of prices, but the checks and balances of
trade will assert their supremacy in the end.
Our advice to buyers is, to live hard and hold
onto your money until produce can be bad at
reasonable rates.
Hon. Pierre Soule, of Louisiana, in a card
in the Charleston Courier, states that there is
not a word of truth in the report copied by
the Confederate press, from Northern journals,
that he had “taken his wife, passed the ene
my’s lines and left the Confederacy.”
The disposition to accept fives at par value
in Montgomery, Ala., says the Mail, is be
coming quite prevalent—much more so than
has been the case since the first of the pres
ent month. This is as it should be, and with
a proper spirit of liberality exercised by us all
in receiving them, we shall be able to escape
many of the embarrassments consequent upon
the, a3 yet, limited appearance of the new
issue. Trade can never prosper without a
proper display of accommodation by both
buyer and seller.
Death of Judge Whitxeh. —Judge Whit
ner, of Anderson, S. C,, died on Friday last.
Interesting From Dalton.
We copy the following from an interesting
private letter written by an officer in General
Johnston's army, says the Macon Telegraph,
and bearing date Dalton, Ga., April 25th :
“Johnston keeps us busy as a bee-hive. He
imbues all his Generals with the same indom
itable energy that so peculiarly distinguishes
this gallant leader of the army of Tennessee.
By his foresight, prudence and wisdom, he
has brought this army from a disorganized
rabble (which it was immediately after the
defeat at Missionary Ridge) to one of the best
disciplined armies on the American continent.
No one grumbles at anything : not even about
rations—something, which you will acknowl
edge, is a little miraculous. I don't expect
you would know this army if you were to see
it. Even the “Goober Grabbers” and “Yel
low Hammers-" are in good spirits. Everyone
is confident of a glorious victory when “Mr.
Thomas's'. Yanks attack us ; You may look
out for “squalls” up here in a few days. Ev
erything indicates active operations. All ex
tra baggage was sent to the rear yesterday.
The officers’ baggage was all weighed, to see
that no one had more than his proper allow
ance. One blanket is only allowed to every
man. There will be a grand inspection this
morning. The troops are all ordered to be
ready for a march at a moment’s notice, and
the wagons are ordered to be loaded with
cooking titensils and baggage for inspection
to-day. A tremendous battle will be' fought
in this section in less than ten days : this is
my prediction.
The rumor in camp at present is to the ef
fect that the enemy are rapidly concentrating
a heavy force at Ringgold and Cleveland, As
our not more than a mile apart a
collision wili take place in fifteen minutes
after they commence advancing. The troops
have been fortifying very rapidly the present
week, The Yanks will find us prepared.
Front the Southwest—Forrest’s
Capture of Fort Pillow.
The Northern papers have not yet received
the news of Banks’ defeat, nor does the Herald
contain a word about affairs in Louisiana.
The following telegram from Cairo, dated the
17th, gives some fact3 about the movements
of General Forrest.
The steamer Glendale, from Memphis, ar
rived oh the morning of the 18th. She pass
ed Fort Pillow, and the river is all clear.
Nothing remains of the fort but ruins. The
main body of the rebels left Fott Pillow on
Friday morning, their rear guard in the after
noon, destroying all the ammunition and
everything else destructible.
The steamer Milne was fired into on Tues
day night, near Fort Pillow, by fifty rebels in
Union uniforms, supposed to have been the
rear guard of the enemy, who are withdraw
ing in a northerly direction. It is believed
that Forrest has not yet removed his bead
quarters from Jackson, Tenn.
A telegram from Memphis says:
There is not much said, but there is a gen
eral gritting of teeth among the officers here
when the massacre of the brave garrison
at Fort Pillow is alluded to. Several officers
have been heard to say that unless the Gov
ernment take retributive steps they will con
sider it their duty to shoot every man of For
rest's command they meet and take no pris
oners. The soldiers threaten to shoot Gen.
Forrest’s men now in Irvin prison if they can
get a chance. This is the general feeling.
An affidavit taken here declares that the
Quartermaster of the 13th Tenn. cavalry was
while living nailed to a board by the rebels
and thrown into the flames of a burning build
ing at Fort Pillow.
A telegram from Cairo gives some intelli
gence relative to the movements of the ship
ping on Red river. It would appear—
The steamer Ike Hammett, from Alexandria,
Red river, on the 2d inst., arrived here to-day,
with four more guns from Fort Deßussey;
also two barges, containing 800 bales of cot
ton, prizes to the navy. Four thousand bales
of cotton are reported to be up the Black and
Yazoo rivers.
The gunboats Avenger, Ouachitta, Chocitin,
and Lafayette have gone up these rivers to
secure the cotton, and two other gunboats
have been ordered to assist them, and ten
gunboats are up the Red river. This accounts
for but one gunboat being at Fort Pillow at
the time the rebels attacked it. The Red riv
er is rising.
The steamer Golden Gate, from Memphis
for Fort Pillow, laden with boat store's aud
private freight, was taken possession of by
guerillas on the night of the 12th inst., at
Bradley’s Landing, fifteen miles from Mem
phis. The boat, passengers, and crew were
rifled of everything. The steamer Chester
was fired into near Augusta, on the White
river, a few days ago. and one man killed and
three wounded.
All steamers approaching the shore above
Duvall’s Bluff are fired into.
♦
Gold in New York. —We suggested yesterday
that as gold had begun to show the declining value
of Federal greenbacks, there would be expedients
resorted to by the Government to check its devel
opments. The same paper which contained the
suggestion announced that Mr. Stevens of Penn
sylvania on Thursday last, just as the Federal
House of Representatives was about to adjourn,
endeavored to introduce a hill to prevent specula
tion in gold. The opposition members are said to
have objected to its consideration, and Mr. S. had,
under the rules, to wait a day.
Such expedients can but hasten the rapid de
preciation of the Government currency. They
could be of no avail with any people, but least of
all with the Yankees, who are too smart to be
hemmed in by legislation of this sort from Wash
ington, The stampede is fairly begun. The wa
vering! of prices of gold only the more clearly
proves the fact. Drowning men catch at straws,
and the Government and its party are making
desperate efforts to bring down the price of gold
and elevate the credit of the illimitable flood of
paper money it has afloat. It maj' produce vibra
tions in the market ; but all this will not do. The
stampede must continue to the end of the chapter.

Little Mac’s Cabinet. —So sanguine arc the
followers of little Mac he will he nominated and
elected to the Presidency, that discussions hare
already been had as to the probable members of
his Ca'pinet. Among the names we have heard
proposed, judgment seems to have settled on Mr.
Seward for the Department of State, Fernando
Wood for the Treasury, Gen. Fitz John .Porter for
Secretary of War, Vallandigham for the Navy,
Horatiq Seymour as Attorney General, and Robert
Ould for the Department of the Interior. It may
be objected that Mr. Ould is at present attached to
the fortunes of the Confederacy, and is now acting
as the Rebel Commissioner of Exchange; but it is
believed that if McClellan be elected, an arrange
ment with the Confederates will easily be made,
and that Mr. Ould, having long resided in Wash
ington, could be induced to take office undef the
Federal Government. Hon. B. Wood, member
from the 3d Congressional district of this city,
was first proposed for the Interior; but it being
suggested that he was the inventor es the Peace
Doctrine, it was regarded as peculiarly appropri
ate he should be appointed to the Patent Office.—
Failing in that, he will be retired as the head of
the Indian Bureau.— Wilkes’ Spirit of the Time*.

Grant and McClellan.— An exciting
test is going on at the great Sanitary Fair in
New Y6rk, between the friends of Generals
Grant and McClellan, over a splendid 3word,
as to which of these tp’o soldiers is entitled to
the compliment. The qualifications of suffrage
is the payment of one dollar a vote. The Her
ald thus describes the contest for the
ARMY SWORD,
for which the admirers of Grant and McClel
lan are having such a warm contest. The
stand of the book-keeper was literally besieged
with volet's, and dollar bills flew around in
the most extravagant manner, like bits of
waste paper. Voters on-the outer gim of the
circle, unable to get close enough to write
their names, and too impatient to waft for
their turns, crumpled up their ten and twen
ties tjnd cast them in the shape of balls over
the heads of the crowds at the head oi the
book-keeper, who exhibited considerable dex- j
teritv in catching them. Pleasant bullets ,
those'to get shot with—much pleasanter, de
cidedly. than the Minnies with which generals
and soldiers are, or ought to be familiar.—
Some of the voters put down their names for
one hundred votes and dollars. One gentle
man voted two hundred and fifty times for
Grant. “The American Boy ’ put down one
hundred dollars for “Little Mac. - ’ “Albino”
went twenty five dollars for Grant. A/whole

Wont we fellurs hav a glorius time a
livin doun here with all uv our buck nig
gurs a havin of Yankee wives, ann all uv
our niggur wirnmiu marrid ann settuled,
ann a livin happy as a bob tail bul in fly
time, with thar Yankey husbunds, what
am now a fitin uv Jeffursun and his frosty
Kunsarn uv a Kongris. I tell yer fellurs
it am wurth livin ter see. When their
times ICum ime gwine to be Guvunur of
North Kurliney all the time like Josif is
uv Gorgy; “and Josif,” sed he, “you Kin
hold the goohernashinul cheer fur yer
life time then—Kant yer?” Josit sed as
how he reckuned he Ivood, “ann 3 ’ sed he
“fellurs, if i don’t git ter be Y.ice Presi"
dent, or git a sect in Cox’s Kongris in
Woshintun long with Allick ile be blamed
es i don’t be Gorgy jist as Rug as i live.
This made lint look sortur blu, for he’s a
fixin uv his plans ter be guvurnur himself.
Sed he, a turnin ter Josif, “i tell yer what
Josif, i don’t seethe use uv yer bein so
greedy no how. Haint yer fuled the pe
pul long enuff, and Kant yer let me hav
the bisinis a while ter jist see jbow it wood
feel?” But Josif shook his hed, ann sed
he’d dy afore heed giv up his sect and a
ritin of them thunderin long wiudid mes
sagis.
O
But, sed Mr, Ilolden, who war standin
with his rnouf open reddy to speke—sed
he, lets fix up our bisines fust and then
yer can setul about bein guvurnur, lint.
Sed he, a dressiu uv hiiuselfe to josif, i
wood vise yer to put 2or 3 more things
in yer message yer are gwine to rite to
sorter chink the thing ann ter show all
uv the koppurheds and Mr. Linkun jist
whar we are a standin. Sed he, you mus
git yer extry legislatur to make a requiss
sishun es yer aintgot got a form, yer fren
irey, quarter mastur kin gin yer one—on
the nex kongris fur all yer representative
who am a seekin thar. Es yer kin git
up a couvenshun yer can take georgy
back to the u. s. jist as slick as goose
greece. Upon herin this, all us fellers
rose and waved our hats and hollered jist
as loud as we kud. Aleck sed it war the
best idee he had hurd and josif sed heed
rit in his messige jist as sure as pig traks
in a sandy bottum.
Ann, sed holdin, ive got a nuther idee
to ring in with all the desurturs. union
men ann kroakers-and an idee whitch
will give more kumfort to Linkum and
Greely than anything we kin do. What
is it sed Alick—what am it me sed and
Lint and Josif. Ile tell yer boys, sed
Holdin, it am this: let Josif rite in his
messige, requestin uv his extry legisla
tor, to insist that kongris and ole davis
offer terms of peace atter ever batil whuth
er we whip or tha whip; and ter fule the
pepul yer must tell em Josif that such
propursishuns are atter the principles of
76, that ell git em an es we kin make
ole Davis du it, we kin in a few months
end the war by a turnin ovei the hole
consarn to Cox and them outher fellers
of the koppurheads. Lint sed it wur a
gloious idee, and slaped Holden on the
bak sayin, as how Holdin war the
and smartest man in our party.
Josif sed heed rite it and du anything
mister holden wanted him ter du. Mis
ter holdin sed he wus glad to here it, and
would rite him a letter and gin him all
the pints. So mi deer Cox this am the
wa our party got started in Georgy. Tell
your frens me am eliick an bob an hold
din an linton am a hole feme, an can pull
things just whar we want ter —the pepul
am such fules. '

Who Talks of Submission ?
BY KOBKBT JOsaELYS.
Who talks of submission? Has manhood de
part*! ?
Is chiralrv dead in the land of the South ?
God's curse on the craven ao faint and false
hearted,
And stifle sh« word In bis traitorous mouth '
No ! long as her rivers roll oo to the ocean,
_ As l°n« as her mountains point up to the aky,
The south will resist, with unswerving deration.
Unaided, her children will conquer or die!
Fight on and fight ever! no truce and no quarter
P!y bayonet, revolvers and knife, *
Till stream, hill and valley are red with theslauglf
tor,
And fanatics shudder and shrink from the strifa.
Be earnest, be honest, be firm and reliant l *
Be true to tfce Cross, hear it onward and high !
Still freemen and masters, erect and defiant
As such we will live, or such we will die!
ANovitiSi'*QK3Tios.—The Souther a Punch
states that many years ago, in a village m
New England, a shoemaker was condemned to
be hung for some infraction of the law. Be
fore the day of execution arrived, it was dis
covered that the culprit was the only shoe
maker in the village, and as there were a
superabundance of weavers, they substituted
a wearer for the codwainer and hung him.
The Punch suggests that as we have but few
men to spare and an abundant supply of Yan
kee prisoners, whenever it becomes necessary
to inflict capital punishment upon a Confede
rate to substitute a Yankee for him. The
law will thus have its victim, and the Con
federates save a man.
