Senator MCCALL in his ia;e spsech in Abe
mario. VA. seeus to thiuk .hat there is something
hopel SIS in the idea Of incrcas;nS the pay Of oui
soldi. for. says Senator w, if you increaS,
chs ps, II the soldicr to twenty-five dollars ret
month large issue Of tt asury notes must Oh
sus, the price of provisions will increase pro-
portiensbly with tho increase of the soidicrs pay
and consequently the soldier will buy no mere
for lis family with sae per month than he row
does 9th Sill.
= = are sorry to hear this opinion coming fr' N
30 disinguitheda Ssatesman Senator WIGFALL; !;
bee- It is calculated " inur cause We have
much al hcart-thc cause Of ii'a poor soldiers
fa,Eily-apd brczuse the opinion is based upon III
obrcus falisoy. When tho Government buys
m.at aud broad for its army, :: assumes tic power
Of axirs tho ratio which it will pay Ior thvSe pro-
visions. The Governmcnt determines the price
Of eorn and beef and at that price the ciriIsn is
bound to sell. Now If tue Government has the
Coo sI tional power to assess the price Of pro-
visions t, fecd is soldiers in tie field, m"niiasJ
i, has the like power to ASSESS the price Ct pro-
visions purchased for the families Of these very
se.diers. It is part and parcel OF the ssne traLs-
action Government undertakes to feed and clethe
her .o!liefa in the Geld, aud besides this, allows
tauiu sl1 per month: tbis allowance 10 intended
for the support of the soldiers family. Now it
tho Government allows c1tortioners to smindie
the pou soiaisr's wle and children out of thi-
Sill, wh4. 10 the of paying it to the soldier nj
sl, Really, at tho present prices of provisions,
it is iitde better than nockery; to give . soldier
sll Per month, with tho ia"a of thus supp"rtng
hs family. The Government hss o right to assess
fssi for the Eappert Of the army; and the wives
.ad ehillren Of soldiers arsn this aspect rayt Of
tss s.my. Brig fapinc and rci. upon tho fan'i-
Ice Of your soldiers, .nd You may repent OF it
when toe late.
The obvious duty then OF the Government is
70 incroasc tho pay of soldierr-wc would soy
that TAG rey Of the fnfantry and Artillery should
be douhlca-and then give II the Commissioners
sti,. sor soldiers families, the power to assess
and roiso provisons-.hc same pawer now invest
cd in lie C.mmissaries aad Quartermasters.
LIE, this be demo, AMI you will hear much less
tf Iescrsion from the Army, and in less than
twelve months, you will look in vain i.r living

Gens. Polk md HragE.

Alludins to the charges made agMinet Gan-
eral Polk of.being the cause Of the delay in
!, the attsck on Sunday Ms Chicamaugr, the
Knoxville Register saYa:
portion of the Press has done this ern-
tlc:naa gross injustice. Bragg was rishi be-
Cause his orders were not obeyed. and Polk
is right because he will be enabled to show
thrt the fault is not his. The suspension Of
Gen. Polk has been used as fact to excite
prejudice agsins, General Bragg, which pc-
curs to us is unwarran,e;l. So too, General
Forresls'iTl- l-hcaltu and desire Ii, have 2 COM
lnand i'll the Mississippi valley, have Jeen u'e'l
to impair the influence witn Ills soldiers aud
the people, Of a General on whose strength
and moral influence depends the very existence
of the Confederate States.
