WAsHtNGToN, July "a.
The debate in the House to-day between
Messrs. Burnett of Kentucky, Richardson Of
Illinois, Blair of Missouri, and Stevens Of
Pennsylvania, was highly exciting and inter
esting. Mr.. Richardson concluded his speech
as follows
f" repeat that Gen. Scott has been forced
to fight this battle. ! will tell tho gentleman
what occurred yesterday morning. My col
leagues, Messrs. Logan and Washburne and
myself were present with the President, the
Secretary of War, aud Gen. Scott. In the
course Of our conversation Gen. Scott re-
marked, am the biggest coward in the
world. rose from my scat. Stay, said
Gen. Scott, will prove IT, ! have fought
the battle agains: my judgement, and think
the President ought to remove me to-day for
doing it. As God ia my Judge, he added,
after an interval Of silence, did all in my
power to make the army efficient, and de-
serve removal because did not stand up

willing, I will stand to the end Of my life de-
lending it against all foes.
Mr. Wasburne-As my colleague has refer
red to Gen Scott's remarks, he might allude

Mr.. Richardson-i will do so. Your

win not be the oniy eehief losers by this
change in thedirecten Of their industry. Although
Il IS true that the cotton sdppy from the Southern
Staes conld only be totally cut off by the subyer-
sioa of COR social system vet il is plain that long
ceutinuanceof this blockade might by diversion
OF labor and an Investment of capital in other eIls
Payments, so diminish the supply as to bring rum
upon all those interests Of foreign countries which
are dependent on that staple /. For every laborer
VINO is diverted from the culture Of cotton in the
South, perhaps, four times as many elsewhere, who
have found subsistence in the varinas employme1ts
growing out oftS use will be forced also to change
their occupation.
While the war which is waged to take from us
the right of selEgovernment can never attain that
end it remains to be seen how far it may work a
revolution in the industrial system of the world,
which may carry suffering TO other lands as well as
to our own In the meantime, we shall continue
this struggle in humble dependence upon Providence
from whose sea- ching scrutiny we cannot conceal
the secrets of our hearts, ADD to whose rule con-
fidently submit our destnes. For the rest, we
shall depend upon ourselves Liberty is always won
where there exists the unconquerable will to be free
and we have reason to know the strength that is
given by 4 conscious sense not only Of the magni-
tude, but of the righteousness of our cause.

Constant forethought and careful providing against
future difficulties and evils are indispensable the
success of the Southern Confederacy. We have
nothing to squander, and we have no excuse for
carelessnesS. Still there seems to be no apprecia-
ton of this fact In one respect particularly, the
whole South is acting suicdally. | refer to the ex-
tensive the unprecedented consumption OF grain at
the distilleries. The evil consequences felt all
ready, and they promise to curse plague ere
twelve months have passed The rye which ought
to be used instead of coffee has nearly all been
sumed The price of corn has risen Under the heavy
purchases of distillers Now they have commenced
boldly on the wheat, and the price of that is aug
mented by their ardent bidding. Now, sir, If next
year should be unfavorable to the crops-if there
should be drought in this, or any of the Southern
States, there would be need of every grain of corn
and wheat. Add to this the fact that so many Of
the producers Of grain have been called to the army
and have left their ploughs to rust in the furrow.
Consider the immense number of horses that have
been taken from the field for army purposes-they
have to be fed. There is danger Of great suffering
from this cause. The excuse which is preferred by
disters, is that there is scarcity of bacon, and
diseres fatten hogs like magic As to this, first,
the meat fattened in that way has no irinness, and
the dstlIlery hogs have to be fattened after all in
the old way, or they are not fit for use.
Again: The tendency is not so much to bring
down the price of bacon, as to raise the price OF
breadstuffs. Bacon will be impossibiiity to the
poor man any how. For humanity sake, don't put
euery support ef life beyond his means, in these
DAYS of trial Mark the prediction Unless there
be some check thrown upon these manufacturers Of
whiskey, the pale pfnchings Of famine viii make
thousands of honest Southern bosoms culver with
dreadful suffering before the close of 1862 This
evil is spreading like contagion. There is per-
feet whiskey mania in our land. Men who two
years ago, would have insulted the man who would
whisper such thought to them, are now throwing
selerespeet regard Cor public opinion, and all
the influences ofadyIng conscience, and plunging
into the wholesale manufacture Of ardent spirits.
1t will breed curse as black as midnight. and more
baeful to prospects than all the armies Of the
North. Can't the Convention protect us (?

DEAR Sir: After my respects, &C., wish to dron
you few lines which may result in some GOOD ~
the community at large.
The graceleSs spectators have monopolized tbe
article salt and are forcing the people to pay them
from SIS to $40 per sack for it. This is PRODUCING
an unnecessary pressure on the people, and is doing
more harm than the people generally are aware of:
from this fact, if salt remains at the present prices
much longer, pork and bacon will not be had in
our country, as the people are determined to fat.
ten only very small allowance of pork for their
own consumption, and keep their hogs for another
year. Some have already turned out portion of the
hogs they had up for the purpose of fattenIng and
the people generally will do likewise Can there
not be some remedy for this evil adopted, before it
is too late?
We trust that the government, either State or
Confederate, will take this matter in hand Hun
dreds and thousands of people in limited crcum-
stances, will be bound to suffer- and that to great
extent, owing to the exorbitant price of that one
article
