Substitutes.


We are glad 70 see thar Tue OPPOSITION to make prin

on two occasions could have brought themselves to vote
for measure grossly viostive Of equity and good
faith if not Of the very letter Of the Constitution The
law BY which substitutes have been received into the
service passed by Congress and that law contained
no such provision as this The regulations under which
they received prescribed By the Secretary
War, aud those regulations embraced no such condi-
ton This d enough 10 eOademn the proposed legisla

10 he Editor Of ii. Wing:
Much has been said and written upon the subjects of
production. impressment, and currency--a OF which
intimately connected and of importance this
time. From observation know that, il the people
left free plant what they please and the Govern.
nent continues to impress at ten dollars per BARREL
when it ia selling twenty dollars and tobacco
that is not impressed by tho Government, commands
from forty seyentyfye dollars the people will plant
only full crop Of grain for their own use and large
crop of tobacco.
know that planters in many portions Of Virginia and
North Carolina have made preparations for large crop
of tobacco and if their present views carried out
we must suffer greatly if not absolutely ruined.
A large planter from North Carolina few days since,
said to me, that the only safety from mpressment
to raise crop of tobacco.
So long as Richmond ia the Confederate Capital, we
must have large army in Virginia which must be sup
ported mainly from Virginia SOIL and this cannot be
done if large crop Of tobacco is made. In my udg-
ment the entire labor of the State should be employed
with the greatest possible energy in the production of
supplies for the army. Many articles necessary to the
support of the army could aud would be raised the
rich tobacco lots if the people required BY iaw to
sured that with the present proportions and character
of the war; if our armies are kept up, supported it
will be done by ldv-and to attempt upon any other
basis nor, UH fail.
After due deliberation, and great concern, have
come hefolowiug conclusions, and give them you
and the public, if you think proper:
First. That the production Of tobacco should be re-
stricted by laW to small amount if not entirely inter-
dcted.
Secondly. That no impressments should be made by
the Government at less price than the market value of
the article impressed.
Thirdly. That would allow all the issues of the Gov
eminent to be funded according to the act that auho
rized the ISSUE and continue reduce the rate of in
terest in every subsequent granting the authority to
issue. would levy sufficient to maintain, at all
hazards, the credit of the Government and by this
means, provide safe investment for the surplus Con-
federate notes. which the holders find il so difficult to
invest BY this means, all would share equally in their
support of the during its existence leaving pos
terty to pay the debts aud enjoy the liberties We
achieve.
Let the Governme ~ tie market price for what it
mpresses the people alike to carry the war; and
fund its issues as it agrees to do and my word for it,
the people will plant for the Government work for the
Government pay their taxes whip the Yankees achieve
their independence maintain their liberties and honor
their Government
All the fnanciers in the world cannot
cy, even during The war, without taxation-and the
heavier the taxes the better thsoney-and the better
the money the greater the suppes-and the greater the
supplies, the sooner peace.
