H@- A communication has been address
sed by Mr.. B. 81. Bingham, Chairman Of
the Committee on Agriculture, ofthe Geor.
gia House of Representatives, from which
we extract the following paragraphs
Before the war began, We drew many oi
our family supplies from the States North
west of Ohio, and many from Kentucky,
Missouri and Tennessee. Now the war is
upon us-Keutucky, Missouri, Tennessee
and Virginia, are its present theatre. In
stead Of drawing supplies from them, we
must supply them we must supply them
by the command Of every manly sentiment
Of fraternity, if we be men. From the
census tables and other best sources Of sta.
tistical information at my commando find
these four States have very near as many
acres of improved land as the remaining
Confederate States altogether. I find, also,
that they yield during peace more corn and
wheat (selected because they are the lead.
ing cereals) than all the other Confederate
States. Thus it appears that
Kentucky, Missouri Tennessee and Virginia
have, In aggregate, Of improved land
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Lousi-
ana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South ., ,,o
Carolina and Texas. 2|,lSo2'
The four States first named yield duling peace

The nine States last named. d.......... l66,oS22ll
Here, farmers of the South, is the plain
fact staring you in the face. Nearly halt
Of the improved land Of the Coufederacy is
already the theatre of war; much of the
productive force is drawn from all, aud
other portions not now trodden BY the foe
may be desolate before the year closes. -
From your lands, wherever they may be un
disturbed by the invader, our brethren are
to be supported. We all have. common
fate, which shall be shared by all. The
channels of our commerce are cut OF, and
we must provide for ourselves means of sub.
sistence or die, for the thought of subjuga,

The ABANDONMENT OF MANASSAS:
In view Of the fact that considerable un-
easiness is manifested on the part of the
public on account of reports of the falling
back Of our forces from Manassas and the
Upper Potomac, the Richmond EIaminer
gives US the positive assurance chat these
movements have not been on account Of
any pressure Of the enemy, but are purely
strategic. General johnson is understood
to have the confidence of the Administra.
ton to such an extent that, as q singular
exception, be has the control and direc-
ton Of military movements 10 his depart
ment entirely in his own discretion. : Il is
certain that new line Of defence is to be
organized in Northern Virginis, and that
the points have been selected with view
to the best strategic advantage. These
points are not yet indicated; but it is
thought probable that line, Of defence
will be organized, extending from Gordona-

in many places. few buildings are being
erected at Glencoe City, the most of which
are intended for business houses. The prices
of provisions are on the decline, flour rs per

condition excepting about Is miles on Craig s
Mountain. 1t will be in condition by next
month. At Lewiston the river is higher
by six inches than it was during any time
last season and still rising. Rumor says that
gold has been found in large quantities about
fifty miles above Glencoe. Most OF the mi

The CHICAGO PLArFoRM-"Cleavla land "
the Washington correspondent of the Gin.
cinnati, Enquirer, says it is the opinion of
the Chief Auditor of the Treasury ,ha, by
the first day Of July next the public debt
will reach 81 500, 600, 90, and that e. en- this
amount will probably fall short of the reali.
ty.
Allowing the estimate of the Chief Audi.
tor to be correct, the interest on that sum
alone, AT seven per cent, will amount to
slo5, 100000 that the people will have to
pay annually by direct or Indirect taxes.
Add to this at least $7O,OOO,O0O TINT will
be necessary to pay the current expenses of
the Government, and we have the enormous
sum Of 100000 that the people will
have to pay annually into the United States
Treasury And all this is exclusive of State
and county taxes.
The war is not yet over. If it should
continue another year, of course tn" public
debt would be doubled. 1t would bring the
annual expenses for the support of the gov'
ernment and for the payment Of the interest
on the prhlic debt up to sO,O0O,000.

expensive lux 'ry.

Der Of contracts with persons not legitimately
engaged in the business pertaining to the subject
matter of such contracts, especially in the pur-
chase of arms for future delivery has adopted a
policy highly injurious to the public service, and
deserves the censure OF the House.
This censure has been accepted by the ma
tion as just-as men, without reference to
embodiment of official corruption. With
what astonishment, then, will they view the
action of President Lincoln, who, in special
message to the House on the 26lh of May,
assum the responsibility of Camelons acts.
This he actually did, and to day he stands
sponsor for some of Camerons most rascal
ly operations.
And vet more. Before the rebel General
Jackson, caused Banks to stampede out of
Virginia. the Secretary Of War withdrew a
large part of Banks force and strengthened
Mcdowell After Banks met his reverse,
public opinion became very severe upon the
Secretary, and again the generous hearted
Old Abe comes forward and assumes the re-
sponsbility of the act.
Men have, usually, sufficient of tbeir own
short comings to answer for and it is a
growing belief that Mr.. Lincoln is accumui
laling sins enough of his own to crush him
with mountain weight after awhile. But in
assuming in additional those of Cameron's
he seems to covet a legacy of infamy that
he will be unable to atone.
