The General Assembly devoted lis evening hours to

pIed much OF the time and attention the TWO Houses

Is required to enter into bond with sufficient securi-

The Yankees Beaten.


A few days since, we witnessed a
triumph over the Yankees, without go
ing out of the town of Staunton. We
went down to the Peg mandatory OF
Messrs. FL. J. & W. L. Lushbaugh, and
saw them making shoe pegs at rate
which would astonish the Yankees
themselves. They make excellent
pegs of all the required sizes at the rate
of many bushels per day. A maple
tree is felled in the forrest on one day
hauled to town-delivered at the peg
manufactory-in less time than a STAN
mering man can say "Jack Robinson"
it is made into shoe pegs, and in a few
more days some of the pegs are on the
shoes OF our soldiers chasing fleeing
Yankees. These gentlemen are now
furnishing the Government at the price
of SO per bushel, and sell to individu-
ais at SIC per bushel.

The Crops.

The following is brief extract from
letter of a correspondent for the Rich
mond Enquirer, dated Tullahoma, Tenn,
March Both:
The farmers of the country are earn
estly invoked by the most impressive
classes of popular influence to plant and
produce nothing but food. One grain
OF corn in the earth is as a bullet in the
heart of a Yankee soldier; and a ridge
of potatoes is worth any mile Of breast
work from Vicksburg to the Rappahan-
mock. On hints of this sort the cultiva-
tors of the soil have bestirred their ener-
gies. go to work, go to work." said
Gen. Johnston when he first came hith
er, "and trust to God and your armies
to preserve the fruit of your toll"

Taxation IN Kind.


The Confederate tax bill, it is confidently be-
iieved, Will produce an ample revenue of Confed-
crate oils, but as these bills cannot be eaten by
either man or beast, and as their daily deprecia.
ting character may not be changed even by this
tax Dill, 1t seems to US that bill tor taxation in
KING, In lieu OF taxation IN money, would be a
measure OF jut precaution. There are many
sections OF The country where per centage of
produce could be more easily paid than per
centage on the value of property. If this per
ce3tage of produce was permitted to be paid in
lieu OF the property tax, the necessities OF the
army would be greatly relieved, as well as the
farmers OF the country.
The per centage of the cotton and tobacco
could be most probably sold or exchanged for
subsistence for the army. This perc .ntage of
produce would, to its extent, take the Govern
ment out OF competition with the people for ar
tcles OF prime necessity, and to its extent would
cheaper the price by lessening the demand.-

The Currency Act.

The ss.Sentaaezo gives the following
analysis Of the currency act which has
been very carefully prepared and will
give general information as to its pro-
visions, in a plain and simple form,
readily understood and easily applied.
We suggest to our readers to preserve
it.
The Currency Act has divided all
treasury notes into three classes.
|. Those issued before LIST December,
1852.
II. Those issued between LIST Decem-
Der, 1862 and 4th April, 1853.
III. Those issued after April 4, 1863.
/. The first are fundable in per cent.
Bonds or stock until 22d April, 1863
after that day in per cents. until Au-
gust, 1868, after which they cannot be
funded at all.
2. The second class are fundable in
per cent. Bonds or stock until 1st Au-
gust, 1868; after which they are funda.
bic in 4 per cents.
3. The third class are fundable in six
per cents. at any time within one year
from the LIST day of the month OF their
issue. After one year they are funda.
bic in four per cents. To distinguish
the notes and fix the period Of one year,
the month in which they are issued is
stamped across the face of the notes.
1t will be seen, therefore, that no
per cent. bonds will be issued after the
22d April, and no sevens after LIST Au-
gust, so that all holders, vino desire to
secure these rates, must present their
notes for funding within the period a
bove named
Six per cent Call Certificates are nc
longer to be issued but instead thereof
fixe per cent. Call Certificates may be
had for any of the notes of the third
class, which will entitle the holder to
reconvert the same at any time within
six months from the date Of the Oldest
of the notes which the Call Certificate
represents, and to receive interest until
reconverted. If not reconverted, the
Call Certificate may, at any time, be
funded in six per cent. bonds.
The four per cent. Bonds issued fol
the notes of the I'd and Sd class may be
exchanged at any time for Call Certif
Gates, which will entitle the holder te
reconvert the same into notes of the
same character, and to interest at foul
per cent. until reconverted.
The six per cent. Call Certificates nov
in the hands of holders may be redeem
ed in the notes which they represent a
any time before 1st July, 1868; afte
that date they become 6 per cent. bonds
payable at any time, not exceeding thir

s"The Women of the SOuth.,,

''The Women of the South" is the
subject of the Lecture recently delivered
by Hugh ". Shefey, Esq, of this place.
before the Christian Association of Rich.
mond, and also before the Library AS
ISOLATION Of Petersburg. It is good
subject, and we have no doubt was pre-
sented in a style worthy of the subject.
The Press of Richmond and Petersburg
laud the lecture very much. We would
suggest the propriety of inviting Mr..
Shelley to deliver that lecture in this
place, and to appropriate the proceeds
for the benefit of the families of our
soldiers. We have no doubt that the
proceeds would amount to 800 or $500.
