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. —llichmoud Dispatch. 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*. The motto inscribed upon G-eorgia’s prou<4 ban ner should be : Perpetual separation from the rot ten and *orrunt Government of the United States; 1 „ . 9 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.

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. AUCTION SALEST AUCTION SALE IN WILMINGTON. 1. CROMLY, Auctioneer.
