am happy to believe the plain, common
people appreciate this It is not worthy
that, while in the nations trials, officers
have resigned, no common soldier or sailor
has deserted the flag.
1t remains to be demonstrated, that those
who can carry an election can also repress
a rebellion-that ballots are the rightful
and peaceful successors of bullets-and that
when ballots have fairly and Constitution
ally decided, there can be no successful ap.
peal back to bullets; no appeal except to
ballots themselves, at the succeeding elec-
ton. Such will be the lesson of peace,
teaching men what they cannot take by any
election they cannot take by war.
Lest there be any uneasiness regarding
the course of the Government towards the
Southern States, after suppressing the re-
bellion, it is proper to say it will be guided
by the Constitution and laws. The Execu-
tive desires to administer the Government
as administered by the Government makers
and as loyal persons everywhere have the
right to claim. This the North perceived.
Is there any coercion, subjugation or con-
quering in these terms? The Constitution
guarantees to each State a representative
form of Government. If State with
draws, it may change the form. To pre-
vent its going out, is indispensable to main
tanning the guarantee.
With the deepest regret, the Executive
employed the war power for the defence Of
the Government, but it was forced upon
him. He could but perform his duty, or
surrender the Government. No compromise
in this case could cure. Not that compro-
misses are not often proper, but no popular
Government can long survive a marked
precedent, that those who carry an election
can only save the country by giving up the
main point on which the people gave ne
election. The people themselves, and not
their servants, can reverse the decision.-
AS private citizen, the Executive could
not consent that the institutions should
perish, much less destroy so vast and so sa-
cred a trust as free people had con6ded in
him. He had no moral right to shrink,
nor count the chances of his own life in
what might follow. In full view of the
great responsibility, he has done what he
deemed his duty, as you know. According
to your own judgment do yours. He hopes
your views and actions will so accord with
his as to assure faithful citizens, disturbed
in their rights, of speedy restoration of
them. Having thus chosen our course,
with pure motive and purpose, let us re-.
new our trust, and 60 forward without fear
and with manly hearts.

Paying the Piper.

It is stated that Lincon's Secretary Of
the Treasury estimates the total expenses
of the Rump Government for the current
year at about s3O0,000,000 OF this a.
mount it is estimated that S30,000,00
will be required for the ordinary expenses
and for the payment Of the interest on loans.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes: i-~
Various plaus have been under consider.
alton by Governor Chase for meeting the
extraordinary demands upon the treasury.
He has finally decided to have recourse to
the three following measures, all of which
will be recommended to Congress in his re-
port:
First. A great national loan, subscrip.
tions for which will be opened all over the
country. Certificates for this will be issued
in sums of $50, 500, $500 and $1,000, and
will bear interest at 7 5000 per cent. so
that the interest on a $50 certificate will
be exactly one cent per day. The rate of
interest will be endorsed on the back of
each note, so that each holder may know
at glance the amount of interest due for
any given time he may hold it. This loan
will be redeemable at any time within three
years, at the option of the Government, and
will not be convertible into bonds, or re.
ceived for custom house or other Govern
ment dues.
Second. A foreign loan, bearing interest
at the rate of 6S5 100 per cent.
Third. The issue of treasury notes Of de.
nominations as low as $40, bearing interest
at the rate of $50 100 per cent. These,
if issued, will circulate as currency, will
be convertible into stock of twenty years
loan, and will be receivable for custom.
house dues, &c. Many Western men urge
this plan warmly, but it is not regarded
with much favor by Governor Chase, and
he will resort to it sparingly, if at all. He
anticipates that these notes would not keep
out in circulation long enough to make it
an object to issue them. -.s....
The Secretary will recommend special
tax on tea, coffee and sugar, and also some
further changes in the present tariff, for
the purposes of revenue. 1t is proposed to
pledge by law the proceeds Of this special
tax on subjects of luxury to the creditors
of the Government, for the payment of the
interest on its obligations. 1t is estimated
that the revenue arising from the special
tax, and other sources, will be 500, 900, 900,
which will cover all the ordinary expenses
of the Government, and provide for the
payment of the interest on loans

THE VOLUNTEERS.

YORK, S. c., June 25, 1861.
Messrs. Editors We notice in the
columns of your paper words Of advice to
the volunteers, from experienced gentle
men of the District, but have not seen an
expression of the sentiments of the fair
sex. Now it is for this end, that We as an
humble representative of this very impor-
tant class of the community, would tran
scend, for moment, the bounds of our
proper sphere. No doubt many little
sweet missives pass between US and the
dear volunteers; yet they are personal doc
uments, and the matter which they contain
is altogether private-but what we say is
for the benefit of every soldier who has
gone from our midst; and although We can
not from our inexperience presume to give
advice, yet we can, by words of encourage
ment, enable you to sustain patiently hard
ships, and nerve your arms to strike for
glorious victory. Yes, by our sympathy:
to encourage you to contend for our dear
rights and blessed privileges.
You have gone forth to fight our battles
on Virginia's soil. She is we'll worthy Of
your assistance We rejoice to know that
We can now repay her for the gallant blood
shed in our defence at Kings Mountain.
We love to refer to the days of the Revo-
luton when Virginia's SONS were ready to
leave their bones to bleach on the sides Of
the mountain, or gain glorious victory; and
now you 90 to defend and rescue the homes,
the birthplace and the lives of the descen-
dants of those who fought so valiantly for
US. Go then; we give you up willingly
for such a cause. We can but wish (al-
though it is sin) that we were men, that
we, too, might gird on the sword to con-
tend against the foe of our common coun-
try; but, women as we are, you may rest
assured before Lincoln's minions shall con-
taminate the soil of Carolina with their
bastard feet, every one of US with arms in
our hands, will perish around our dear
hearthstones and sacred altars But shall
| it ever come to this q! that foreign enemy
shall pollute our atmosphere by their foul
breath ? We think We hear you say, "No,
neverw never while one of Carolina's sons
can raise bis arm to defend her. And we,
too, can echo back the words, "never %
until our own soil shall conceal in her love-
ly bosom every daughter of Carolina.-
Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers,
shall die together before We will yield our
free land to the vile oppressor. Then 60

Government, as here used, is not meant any
particular administration, or the peculiar
opinions of any particular party, but that
central administration, which being at any
time appointed and inaugurated according
to the forms prescribed in the Constitution
of the United States, is the visible repre-
sentative of our national existence"
"Inasmuch as we regard this action of the
Assembly as unnecessary and inexpedient
demanded by no obligation binding the
Assembly to all its parts; tending to no
good, but productive Of unmitigated evils !;
as nhind-taking advantage Of the ab-
sence of all the Commissioners from the
South, except mere nominal representa-
ton, and even that, not rejecting the true
sentiment of the South as inqansmatory
calculated to exasperate the South, and
more to excite the North, already possessed
with the spirit of fanaticism as unconstitu-
tional-beingin collision with chapter XXI,
and section 9TH of Confession of Faith, an d
chapter xii, aad section 4th of Form of
Government; as tyrannical and spiritually
oppressiue-attempting to bind, without the
authority of God, the cousciences of the
South, to submit to political Government
which they have renounced and now abhor !;
as grossly unjust and insulting to the South
totally ignoring our present political re-
lations, and claiming our allegiance to a
perjured administration and military des.
potism; as contrary to the spirit Of the Cos
pe1-favoring coercion by means Of a frat.
ricidal war, involving an enormous waste
of property, and the temporary disturbance
of the peace, and loss of an untold number
of lives in the unoffending South; as det-
rim,ental to the interests O fre1igioa'-which
must be greatly imperiled and suffer much,
so long as the direful contest shall rage ;
and as secured by a misrepresentation Of
the real state Of things, and the feeling at
the South
Therefore, Resolved, l. That we hereby
raise our solemn protest against this action
of the highest Court of our Church, and
Go disclaim all obligation to obey the reso-
lutions of that Body, either in letter or
spirit, being ourselves willing, content and
glad, to be privileged to give our allegiance
and support to the Government of the Con-
federate States of America.
2. That in our judgment, the Presbyte-
ries of the South, should Immediately re-
tire from all Ecclesiastical alliance with the
Northern branch of the General Assembly,
and adopt measures for the formation Of a
General Assembly of the Confederate States
of America.
8. That we cordially approve and cheer.

struct our delegate to vote for the immedi'
ate withdrawal of our Presbytery from the
General Assembly of the United States.
and for a call of Convention looking tc

CHURCH SECESSION.
The following paper was adopted by the
Session of Bethesda Church, at a recent
meeting:
"W ehave heard with surprise, morti6ca-
ton and indignation, that the General As.
sembly of the Presbyterian Church-Old

subjoined deliverance upon the duty Of the

"Gratefully acknowledging the distin.

and undeserved goodness toward us as q
