The astounding propositions which have signal
lied the first days of this present session, for pla
cling the entire population of the Confederate States
in the field, leaving no producers of food to feed
the enormous army so raised, and no taxpayers to
find the money to furnish it, have created a con-
siderable sensation. A feeling of despondency has
been produced by them among reflective observers
not by the prospect of the universal cessation of
national lie and organization, which the realization
of those wild projects would certainly cause-for
no one can fail to see that there is no danger of
realizing patent impossibility but by the singu
lar want of discernment which they indicate. 1t is
difficult to believe that many members of the Con-
gress really intend the establishment of dictator
ship in this country, still less to make Mr. Davis
dictator. Yet it requires but little reflection to
perceive that such law lately suggested in his
message suggestion which members of Congress
have taken in trust from it. is nothing more nor
less than that.
An entire nation cannot remain in the field more
than twenty -four hours under the penalty of death
by starvation. A law requiring the whole popuIa-
tion to take up and go into camp, is nulllty
| Few will dispute the remark, and the President
blandly proposed that the power and discretion
! should be given him to detail" such persons as
| he pleased TO continue the pursuits of civil life
! The relative numbers of those in the army and
those out Of it, might not be changed by law OF
! universal enrolment if accompanied by this pro-
| vision The sole difference between the present
and prospective condition OF the military force and
nation, would be the change of detail" for sex
empts." One of these words designates persons
who continue the work that must be done in war
and peace under the authority of law the other,
! those who go about their business because OF the
favor of the President and his oiceholders, great
and small. This is proposition to give them des.
potic control over every individual in this country
and to destroy every check upon their will. The
parasites of power are pleased with it. There ex
lists small faction in this country who have Ions
clamored for this measure, because they expec
power, profit and revenge from it.-Richmond Er

USEFUL ENoUIRY-In the House Of Representa-
tlves, on Friday last, Mr.. Chiffon, of Alabama, Of
fered resolution which was adopted that the Com
mittee on Quarter:naster and ComuIssary Depart
ments inquire and report whether the tax in kind
may not be garnered and husbanded with more Sc
curty and less expense to the government citizens
residing in the respective localities of such provis
ions and who are not liable to military duty, than
by the present system of collecting and preserving
it; and whether such change would not at the
same time, tend greatly to strengthen our army by
placing in the field the officers and soldiers now en-
gagged IN that business.

A PROBLEM FOR CoNGREss-Q. NJ. D.-When
Congress is done with the currency question We
trust it will take peep into the QuartermaSter De-
partment There is something rotten there, and the
stencil is dreadful All over the army, curses, both
loud and Deep are hurled against the A. Q. Ms.
Why IS it that quartermasters in the army, gen.
eral thing, ride the finest horses wear the best
clothes, live the highest and drink the deepest !?
Where does the money come from, when 1t takes
six months pay of captain 10 buy suit of clothes
Let Congress look toit Napoleon occasionally shot
few quartermaSters for the benefit of the army"
He was very successful commander. Perhaps We
had better initiate his example inthS, as IN other
things.-Nqcon Georgia. Confederate
The Quartermasters and all other Executive Off
GERS are under the control of the President Why
is it that he does not compel those of them who
corrupt and negligent to be honest and faithful? 1t
is common thing to hear of neglect and corruption
on the part of subordinate Executive officers and of
military officers who oppress and trample on the
people, and who hold political meetings in the army
and mob printing offices; and yet if the country
could hear that one of these officers had been
punished by the President the country and all hon.
est men every where would have more confidence
in the President.

Ou,ra.es nv the Military,

We continue to receive complaints as to the bad
conduct of some of the Confederate troops in the
Western part of this State. The ladies of Wilkes
County complain that detachment of troops in the
neighborhood of Trap Hill, instead of arresting de-
serteIs in a proper way, are plundering houses,
taking grain, stock, and provisions from women and
children, getting drunk, fiddling, dancing, &c And
friend writes US from the same County that some
of the soldiers have recently driven from thirty to
forty head of cattle to Jearsons Ashe County, sold
them to the highest bidder and pocketed the money.
. Can this be possible? Ifso, we blush to record
such conduct on the part Of any Of our leave de-
tenders.
We also learn shat the inhabitants of Davidson,
FORSYTH, Madison, and other Counties are afflicted
in the same way.
Now, who is to blame for this We answer, the
officers ,Oho command these troops. We learn that
the attention of Governor Vance has been called tc
these outrageS and that he is making eorts to pre-
vent their repetition. But some atonement is due
for the past Punish the officers, and our word fol
it the soldiers will do better in future We glad
to have it in our power to say that many of the
soldiers conduct themselves as they should. We
appeal to all of them not to trampe on the weak and
helpless. Let them remember that they too have
wives and mothers and sisters, and that 1t is wrong
to punish the innocent on account of the guilty
and let them also remember that all their sacrifices
in camp and on the battle field will be in vain, il
law and order and respect for persons and roperty
are not maintained.
