TAXES AND TAXATION.

To the Editor Of the Wing:
Let such of the States as prefer to do SO,
assume the payment of their proportionate
part of the sum to be raised by the ssdirect'
tax bill. Let such States issue their bonds
bearing, say FIVE per cent. interest, the
bonds to be paid at the pleasure of the
State. Let these bonds be exchanged BY
the State for Confederate States Treasury
notes; the effect will be to add much more
to the value Of Treasury notes than the col.
lection of the same sum by the hosts of Of.
fcers, proposed to be created by the tax
bill; for it will retire the same amount Of
Treasury notes, and create positive de.
mand for them in the market by solvent
purchasers.
The effect will be a savingto the people,
many Of whom are lilly able to pay SO large
a tax. Thus, say that the sum to be paid
by Virginia be twenty millions of dollars
the interest of that sum is but one million
at FIVE per cent.-a sum much easier paid
than twenty millions. The credit of the
States will thus be brought much more ef-
fectively in aid of the credit Of the Coufed-
crate States than by endorsing the bonds,
as proposed by some.
But the most important feature will be,
that we get rid of the Confederate tax gath
erer, and the host of Confederate officers
proposed by the bill. tits not wise to send
around tax collectors, to seize upon the
property of the widow and children of the
man who is in the field, in the face Of the
enemy. We are fighting for posterity, and
poste.'ity will be much more able to pay the
debt, in time of peace, than We are to pay
it, engaged, as we are, in the struggle for
independence. We will do our part we'll,
if we fight their battles and pay the interest
upon their debtor theirs it will be. g..

"Let it be Remembered"

The Count,yman said last year, and his
emphatic hints are now more than ever
thuthful:
Let 1t be remembered by farmers, that if
they wish speedy termination of the war,
and speedy establishment of their inde-
pendence, they must raise very large grain
crops.
Let 1t be remembered, that now is the
time to plant very large corn crops.
Let 1t be remembered, that smaller piece
of land we'll ploughed and we'll manured,
will produce more grain than larger piece
carelessly prepared.
Let 1t be remembered, that there are
sharpers all over the land, specnlating in
provisions, and that the ravages of these
army worms are more terrible than the
stgrand armies" of Lincoln.
Let 1t be remembered, that if we are sub
jugated, it will be by the spectators in our
midst, and not by Lincoln.
Let 1t be remembered, that our farmers
can do more to conquer these, than all our
soldiers in the field. .
Let 1t be remembered, that the way to
conquer the speculating miscreants, is for
farmers to raise large provision crops Of all
kinds.
Let 1t be remembered, that the worst mis-
fortune that can befall any people is a dearth
of provisions.
Let it be remembered, that any people
who have enough to eat and to wear, are
obliged to be prosperous, and cannot be
conquered.
Let 1t be remembered, that if you wish
to grow rich you must fill your corn cribs
and granaries now, and be prepared to raise
crops of cotton when the blockade is raised.
Let 1t be remembered, that it is your du.
ty to raise provisions for yourselves, and a
surplus for the soldiers who are fighting
your battles for you.
Let 1t be remembered, that if you do not
raise large provision crops, you are helping
Lincoln and the SPECULATORS to fasten
the yoke of bondage upon your wives and
children. -. :. .
Let itJe remembered, that you owe it as
solemn duty to God and your .country-to
your wives and cbildren-to religion and
liberty; to raise very large crops Of provisions
