Discipline roust be restored and enforced in
eur armies. One ot the reasons by its
advocates for the enactment 4ff the conscrip law
was that better discipline would he maintained
by giving the appointment of the officers to the
President. Results have shown the reverse to
be true. Prior to the adoption of that plan,
the officers selected by the troops themselves
and appointed by the States, kept the men in
the field, and we triumphed gloriouslyin almost
•very engagement with the enemy. Since that
time the officers 'appointed by the President
have neither maintained discipline nor kept tliei
men in the field, if the President’s statement
is reliable they have only one third - of them
there. And I fear the discipline of that third is
loose compared with that exhibited by the Fed'
eral army in it-' march through this State.
The President having tailed in his military
administration and brought the country to the
verge of ruin by Lu miliU.ry policy, should .be
relieved ol that pari of bis duties, by an amend
ment of the Condition to provide tor the ap
pointment of a Comnjandev-in-Ci.iri ol the !
armies of the Confederacy, fy the Presidcut,
by and with the consent fo< two thirds of
the .Semite, who shall ba i mi-ciy tree from tho
contract ol the I'lcddent and removable ordy by
the game power by which he was appointed.—
This would place the best military talent of the
country in command of our armies? not in name
only but in fact, and would bavo us in future !
from the heavy calamites which have befallen j
us by the capricious removal of a great com
mander, [at a most critical jucture of an ably
conducted defensive campaign.
The [late act of Congress did not and could
not, take from the President, his constitutional
power as Coipmander-in-Chief. It provides for
tho appointment of a General-in-Chief. Robert
E. Lee as Cenera!-in-Chief is as subject to the
orders of the President as he was before tho
act of Congress, and his appointment under it,
and the President may at any moment frustrate
his plans by orders which he is obliged to
obey. Congrcfes [cannot divfst the President of
this power over all tire gcntoals in Confederate
service, iiir!uding%hc (ieneral-in-Chief. This
power is conferred by the Constitution and can
only be taken away by and amendment of that
instrument
These changes may bo made without the
evils of revolution within revolution. The Con
stitution provides for its own amendment. The
remedy is perfectly peaceful. It declares that :
Upon the demand of any three Slates legally
assembled in their several convention*, the Con
gress shall summon a convention of all the
Slates to take into consideration such amend
ments to tlie Constitution as the said States
shall concur in suggesting, at the time when
said demand is made.
It is perfectly legitimate and proper for three
States to demand such convention, whenever
in the opinion of their people the public good _
or tho common safety noil ires it. In my
opinion the best interest of tho country requires
that such convention meet with as little delay
tis possible, to [aopo.se such amendments to the
Constitution, as will reform alm.-es by settling
disputed points, and ofltvl n up. cdy mil tin ugh
change of policy in conducting the war and fil
ling up and auidaiuiitg our armies. lam not
afraid to trust ihe people in convention. I there
fore recommend tiio cal! of a convention of (he
people of this bitale for the [ iirpose of proposing
auch amendments to tho constitution as will
relieve the President of his responsibity as Com
mander-in-Chief of the urmiis, and will provide
for the appointment of n t Intnmauder-in—Chief in
time of war, and to propose such other amend -
ments and do such other acts, ns will correct tho i
abuses and aflore remedies for grievances herein
before stated.
1 also rocommend that this General Assembly
appoint commissioners to each of the other Stales
ui the Confederacy, requesting them to assemble
. in Convention at an early day to demand of
Congress the call ofjx Convention of all the States,,
for (he purposes above specified.
The apo*dy adoption ol this policy is .in my*
judgment indispensaltlo to the achievement of
our independence, and the maintairnmee of the
great principles of State Sovereignty and Con
stitutional liberty which underlie the foundations
of our federative system of government—gave
being to our present eoufudei.dion of State* —
and are absolutely ncccs.nry to tho future pros
perity and happiness of our people. J’y the
construction placed upon the Constitution as it
bow stands, by those who aJmitvisior tho Con
federate Government, these great principles .have
been disregarded, and the savesci/ntv ot the
flint#*, and rights ot the people, h.-»t sight ol in
the struggle tor independence.
The achievement of our independence seems
to bo the great end and only good aimed at by
those who wield the power at Richmond. We
have beon told from the halls ol Congress that
courts must lie closed, and State lines obliterated,
if necessary to accomplish this object. Indeed,
some persons in authority seem to have forgot
ten that wo nro fighting for anything but inde
pendence. If so the hole struggle is in vain,
■for we had that in tho old government, which
was our government, consecrated by the blood
of our ancestors and transmitted from sire to son.
We were independent of all other pomes. lint
the people of the Northern States got control of
that government, and so administered it as to
imperil not our independence but our rights.
We then separated from them and iuo lighting
for our rights and bur liberties; and a i a means
ot maintaining mi l securing those rights ami
liberties wo declared our .iinleperulence. Imle
pcndenco with these is v.-crlit all the sacrifices
which wo have made or can mnko. Our right#
and our liberties me not si eondary to our inde
pendence, but our independence is only r.eecc
sary to protect our rights and our h- . . lie-.' Rus
sia is independent of all the world, so is Turkey,
while the government of each is n .despoti.-m;
and the people have only the rights and lihor
tie# which the sovereign chooses to premil them
<o exercise. If this is the sort of independence
for which wo me- fighting our great sacrifices
have been made to hut little purpose. The re-'
#iognilio« by foieigil powers ol the independence
of our rulers and ol iheir right to govern us,
without the recognition of our lights and liber--
ties by our rulers, is not worth the blood ot the
humblest citizen. \Vc must gain more than
this in the struggle or we have made a most un
fortunate exchange. The further pursuit ffi our
present policy not only endangers our rights
and our liberties, but our independence also, by
destroying the institutions and breaking the spirits
of our people. Let-us beware how we trifle
withr*the rights, ihe liberties, and tho happiness
of millions.
I am aware that the freedom and plainness,
which a sense of duty to my country has com
pelled me to exercise, in’ discussing the meas
ures of tho administration, and that policy of the
(government, may subject my motives to miscon
struction' I feel the proud consciousness, how
«v#r, that I have been actuated only ‘by a desire
to promote the cause so dear to every patriot’s
heart, and thereby aecure the independence of
th# Confederacy, with the civil and religious
liberties and constituted rights of \he people,
■withoutVhich independence is an empty name,
and the glory and grandeur of our republican
ystem is departed forever. No one can be more
"vitally interested than ntysell in the success of
«ur cans. I have staked life, liberty and proper
ty, and ths liberties of my posterity, upon the <
results. Tho enemy have burned my dwelling |
and other houses, destroyed my property, and j
shed in rich profusions the blood ot nearest rela
tives. My destiny is linked with my country.
If we succeed I ant a freeman. But it by the
“-Obstinacy, weakness or misguided judgement ot
#»ur rulyrs wu fail, tkc-samc common ruin awaits
me which awaits mv countrymen. It is no time
.to soocesl idesi jn cop rtiy phr -sa. The night is
dark, the tempest howls, the ship is lashed with
turbulent waves, the helmsman s steering to the
■whirlpool, our remonstrances are unheeded* a P.d

MATE OF TllE FOB LIU INDEBT
EDNESS.
During Tuesday, Feb. 7, ihe injunction of #e
crecy was removed from the subject which has
ol late been ho closely occupying the House in
secret session, when it waa discovered that the
body had been considering a tax bill to meat
an enormous miataku ihafcia# bean detected in
the estimate of th# governuisut's liabilities.
I he present Secretary of the Treasury, it sseia',
was led into an error by his predecessor in sta
ling the amount of the arrear of indebtedness
in bis report at the opening of Congress to ba
one hundred and fourften millions of dollars.
Additional liabilities, ia the nature of cash
transactions, have already been ascertained
tc the amount of nearly four hundred millions
of dollars. To provide for this Increase of
debt, Mr. Trenholnr advises that the re
quired sum be chiefly derived frena taxation
that the present schema of taxation ba adhered
to, with the amendment recornmsndod in bis
report of December 7 th; and’that one hundred
per cent, be, added to tho existing rates, and in
the application'theraof to lit* tax La-kind, that
it be assessed upon tho value of tbs same, and ’
be paid in Treasury notes. Tbs additional
tax cu that will be raisid by this means may
be estimated at throe hundred and sixty mil
lions ol dollars, leaving a deficiency to be ob
tained from other sources of thirty-six millions
of dollars. This amount maybe raised from
the valub of cotton. Ha says :
‘•Too character of thfe debt is such that tho
payment c mnot bo neglected, or cvcu post
poned, without danger of seriously embarrass
ing tile operations ot the War Department.—
it ih lor supplies obtained in ail parts of the
country, and delivered upon the credit and
good l'ait-h of the government.” lie adds: “I
have kicked in vuin for tome source upon
which wo might draw for these extraordinary
demands, in lieu of taxation; no other alterna
tive presents itself.''
To provide for this contingency, Mr. Lyon,
of Alabama, from the Committee «a Ways
and 31 ans, has reported the following
whic h bus been under discussion for sevwra
llaVat .
“A'Bill to be entitled an net t« levy addi

There have been blunders and errors—but
where everything that is dear ti >us aud to

The conscript system has worked out. We
have.tried it three years, an i it should be

LINCOLNS MESSAGE OX THE PEACE CON
FEREXCE.
Northern papers of the 11th have published
Lincoln's message relative to the Hampton
Keans conference, - including all the letters and
telegrams on ihe subject. Also tha letter
from Seward io Minister Adams.
Lincoln says that after returning from
iPckmond there was left with him a letter
ficia Davis to Biair expressing a willingness
to renew effort to enter into a conference with
a view to secure peace, to tho two countries.
Lincoln by way of reply, addressee a note
to Biair, expressing a willingness to receive
any ag: at formally, sent, with a view to se
cure peace to tho people of our common
country.
Subsequently the correspondence explains
( the detention ol the Commissioners at Peters
burg and City Point. In his absence, Grant
received tbeir application to pass through the
lin-'f e'“d telegraphed to Washington for in-
Lincoln sent’Msjor Keert with a
message pR ' l£vr ‘ ol ' * liin delivered to
the Commissio? crs aUowin ß tlic,n to pass tho
for an informs.' Conference cn ths basis of
Lincohi's note to Blaif. Moantime th# Com
missioners applied to Grant who had returned
(or a pass through tha lino3 v'dh a view of as
certaining upon what terms the War might be
terminated.
In*pursur.nce of the course indicated by Lin
coln ia said letter to Blair, Grant allowed them
to pass through the lines and proceeded io City
Point, where they were detained until the ar
rival of a report from Washington.
Before its arrival the Commissioners ad
dress- and another note to Grant expressing in it
a desire to go to Washington and confer in
formally with the President in reference lo Ihe
matter mentioned in bin letter to Blair.
The messenger who delivered tha message to
the Commisi.ioners says that he received an un
satisfactory reply when ho notified the Com
missicnors ths.t they could not proceed further
unless they complisd with the terms expressed
in his letter.
! At this juncture Grant telegraphs Stanton
that he was convinced of the good intentions
ot Stephens and Hunter, and their sincere do

They lurthcr expressed their anxiety to es ;

A DAT OF FIRES.
i The fire king held high carnival iu our city
oa Friday. A stiff breeze was blowing from
ths Southwest, and though the roofs were not
unusually dry.fires were discovered in numerous
localities.
In the morning the house of A. Picquet,
about a mile from the city, on the Milledge
viUe road, took fire and was consumed.
The Planters’ Hotel roof took fire, bill was
readily extinguished.
About three o’clock P. M. tho cotton ware
house of Messrs. Doughty, Baal 1 & Cos., was
discovered to be on fire in the Southwest cor
ner, and in a few moments the whole area
wis one sheet of flame, defying all effort to
suppress it. The warehouse contained about
two thousand bales, all of which were consum
ed. The firemen were promptly on the
ground, but their untireing efforts to stay the
flames were fruitless. The river was the only
barrier to the progress cf the conflagration.
This Are had partially subsided, when the
alarm was g vea that a pile of cotton near the
cotton present tho Waynesboro depot, was on
lire. The firemen divided their forces, and
the flames were suppressed with a loss of about
oue hundred and fifty bales.
This fire is believed to have originated from
sparks. This alarm.had scarcely passed when
tlie Round House at the Georgia railroad was
discovered to be on fire, but was put out with
out sorious damage.
The roof of the Mansion House, corner of
Bioau and Jackson streets, ignited from sparks
during tho evening, but was promptly over
come.
About four o’clock the'warehouso of Messrs.
Rees A. Linton was found to be on the, and it
required almost superhuman efforts to pre
vent its destruction. Tha citterns promptly
iu overhauling several tiers of cotton,
and su’-dued the flamc-s. We observed Ilis
Honor the Mayor among the number, working
manfully.
It was believed that this fire was tho work
of an iucendiary.
The spark from tho burning cotton were
blown across the river and we learn that two
or three houses were set on tirjubut were sup
pressed without lost.
The firemen behaved splendidly, and but for
them, the warehouse of Rees & Linton would
have beem a total loss and there is no telling
where the destruction would have stopped.
They were on duty all the afternoon and most
of the night, and deserve the tSrauss of the
whole community.
The Northern Press on The Negotiation
Affair.— The Wasingtonßepublican Lincoln’s
official organ, is for a vigorous prosecution of
the war. The N. Y. Herald at last accounts
was in the dark on the subject of the iate so
called peace conference at Fortress Monroe,
and denying the reports that it ell amounted
to nothing, treats it as more probably a suc
cess than otherwise. Its Washington cor
lespondept assumes that the Confederate Com
missioners have only gone back to Richmond
“to be heard from again.” N. Y. Tribune
likewise demurs to the report that the mission
was a failure. The N. Y. Times has.a little to
say beyond Abe mere reoapuitlation of the re
ports. The Philadelphia Inquirer gives up
the whole question, and bewails the hard
heartedness of the Confederates! for refusing
to accept the liberal terms ot subjugat ion and
destruction offered by Lincoln.
From Wilmington.—4 ha Wilmingion pa
pers state that the enemy have commenced
landing cavalry below the town.
Fort Andefson has been shelled by two gun
boats. No damage done the Fort. Six of our
men were wounded—two seriously. Two mon
itors were in the river. Neither came near
enough to participate. One of the gunboats
was hit by a shot from the Fort and compelled
to haul off. *
A deserter says that Admiral Porter and Gen.
Teixy are both waiting orders from Washing-
accomplished the object of thejex
pedition, by the capture of Fisher, they will
not attempt any extensive , movement until

is raiding through tho county of Brunswick,

—--.THS, .
Another Habeas Corpus Case.—A habeas
corpus case recently came before the Superior
Court at Thonjnsviilc, Ga., Judge Hansel pre
Biding.
It appears a man named Samuel Hoarn, was
arrested by the military autho'ities in that
section—on the charge of 4 ‘giving aid and
comfort to the enemy.” They were in the act
of sending him to Macon, to General Cobb’s
Headquarters for trial, when a writ of Habeas
Corpus was serv , upon them, aad th# prison
er taken before the Honorable Court. The
Judge, after hearing patiently tho arguments
of counsel, pro and con, and the evidence,
which was hearsay, discharged Hearn upon the
ground, that he, not being a soldier, was not
amenable to military law. Nevertheless, the
Honorable Court was satiafied, from the testi
mony, that the prisoner haS been guilty of
conduct unworthy of a good citizen of the Con
federate Elates. But there being no affidavit
of the facts before him, he was in duty bound
to dismiss the case.
P’he Movement from Pensacola.—Tha Co
lumbus Enquirer has news which leads us to
believe that the Yankees are moving a consid
erable force into the interior of Alabama, by
way of West Florida, to co-operate in Thomas’
threatened advance from the North. Ihe
Montgomery papers have reports of large num
bers of Yankee troops concentrating at or near
Pensacola, and we have had information of
transport heavily laden with Yankee troops
passing down the Missi'sippi river for the last
two or three weeks. It is not at all improba
ble that these traops were going to the Florida
coast to undertake the movement said to te
making from Pensacola.
Georgia State Link. —The record of the
State Line from llesaca to I’ocotabgo is a hr te
liantone. They fought side by side with the
veteran troops of the Army of ienuessee, and
have fallen them in the sam# hot conflict;
but m all emergencies they have fought with
the unwavering deieim’nation which is charac
ntic of the blood that is in them. Georgia
will never blush at the recotci. of her State
Line. ||< ■-
A Fight in Macon Cos, Ga.—A fewdays since
a mob headed by Mr. Jerry Wilcher,—cause
not stated —assembled on Cedar creek, Macon
county, Ga., to drive what they deemed a sus
picious character from the neighborhood. The
man aud some women fought bravely for their
homes, and in the fight Jerry,'Wilcher, and a
man by the name of Ilickey were killed and an
other of the attacking party severely wounded.

raise the price of gold. It- annea Hr
I who have had the ebavee of disp'-Hng of ’..t
j gold belonging to the Confer rteS a- have
! been in league with m ecu! • t >rs to be' ? up
prices. Instead of selling it to he in u
wanted, they have t -• aud sold itmosby to
the brokers—thu- pn be ; the market as com
pletely under the couiio: ot tiro la tei a» was
before the government undertook to rebec - lb
price. By doing so, they have defeated thus
far the grand object to be gained, and dtsired.
The officials who hive betrayed their tr- ■ : -
should be severely deal! wish. cXtibi-J or.
ruption, whenever discovered, ?b —LI iv - .li
mbed to the fullest extent cf tho law. Oi'fi -i •!
incompetency, should be sufficient cause for
prompt dismissal from the service. *
If Mr. Trenholm’s idea is carried out us ho
intends, gold must go down to, a very low
figure. But from the facts in the case, we
think he will have to select new agents beforo
be can accomplish bis purposes.
A Good Measure.-—Among the right kin 1
of bills introduced into the Senate, tho piv
ent session, by Mr. Wigfali of i'exas, is one to
provide that certain evidences of debt, viz: all
receipts, certified accounts, and other eviden
ces ot the value of property purchased or im
pressed for the use of tea Government, which
have been, or shall hereafter be received from
the impressing offic- r or agent, shall be receiv
able in paymenc of taxes. The bill was re
ferred to tho Finance Committee,
The bill is correot-in principle. We trust it
will be reported favorably upon, and that it
will beomo a law. Tho substance of the pee -
pie has been illegally appropriated laV •
enough. It is no wonder that they have 1<...
confidence iu their ruiers. Salutary and effi
cient laws, however, giving them their rigln.s
will have a tendency to restore.it. Mr. AYighdl
is moving In the riglit'direction. We liopqha
