COLUMBIA, April T.
In the House on Saturday, Mr.. J. Charl-stnn
Read Introduced tho following resolution, which
was agreed to
Whsreai, the financial credit Of tho CoEfedernoy
involves to u very groit extent the question of tie
ability Of the Government to resi'' the attcrnpts
Of tho Abolition Government to suhju gate the
slaveholding States; and whcrcar, certain OWL
disposed persons have attempted to destrsy and
reuder unavailable that credit by refusing to re-
csivc Confederate money in payment of debts {:
Therefore, lie it.
Resolved, That it DO referred to he'Committee
ON the Judiciary to inquire into The expedicncy 'of
reporting i bill more eAec,ually &c prevent the
injury threatened from the reputation Of and the
refusal of my person in this State To receive Con-
Tolerate money in payment of debts.

| informed Of numerous violnti"ns OF its provisions
in various %portinns of tho State, but have not yet
heard of the frst prosecution. 1ndeed, l learn
from soms of the most respectable citizens that no
ono sesms willing u become an informer. It
might be we'll to give the inf,rner sne-half the
6n.. but l am fres To confess that I doubt its sue
cess ever then. Some very worthy citizens of
the State have urged tho Executive to employ
agents for tho purpose of 'uppresing unlicensed
distillstion, which of course no has not the power
IT, do. This ia q crying evil, and mostly felt in
the crsin-growing Districts, whore tho distilleries
buys heretofore becn .nnBt abundant. The. CON-
plants to mc from those sections are 30 numerous
that this subject constitute, ono Of the principal
objects of Fur convocati"n.
Tho permits auth .rired by me under the proriso
in the Act to distil . Limited quantity, for. medi-
ciual purposss alone, Is as yet probably far short
Of tn. absolute medcinal wants of tho whole
State. For many Districts there have been, and
doubtless will DO, no applications. l regret to
say. that I hear ryrno.s of under lettings and vio-
la;i,u. of the contracts. though not in any tangi-
Lls form, which early steps viii he taken to inres-
t;oate. The sale under the contracts have en-
do.vorsd to guard in every possible way. am
not suro put that all distillation "far medicinal
porposcs alone" should DO limited to a single Dis-
tvie,, sny the central District of tho Stnts, under
the charge of a competent agant, subject to the
control of the Executive. But the trial made of
the present system dues not Q: able me to make
any desniste recommendation or this point.

A PROPER SUGGESTION.
From the Fayetteville Observer.

Messrs. Editors: AS Friday, the 9th inst, has
been appointed by the. President Of these Confed-
crate States as day of fasting and prayer, poor
soldier who volunteered in the defence of his
country's rights and who is anxious to return
home to his little children, would request
through your columns and the columns of our
newspapers generally, that the day be observed by
all christians as day of universal fasting and
and earnest prayer to God for speedy peace, and
that the universal custom of only holding service
in our Churches during the morning be departed
from on the present occasion, and service be also
held at in the afternoon wherever practicable,
and especially by our soldiers in every camp-the
object of which will be to request God to change
the hearts of our enemies towards us and grant US
speedy peace.
At o'clock propose that every christian In
civil or military life, and especially the wives,
mothers and sisters of brave soldiers retire to
their closets and in faith pray for speedy peace
and perhaps God may hear our prayers and stop
this unholy strife, and permit us to return to our
homes
My request can easily be complied with; and as
it will give satisfaction to many OF our brave
soldiers, am in hopes it will be regarded. by
christians of all denominations. U.
Newspapers generally please copy.
while praying for peace, pray particularly Tor the
success of our the enemy that we may nave
independence as we'll as peace. The southern people
cannot afford to have peace without independence
