!" A Financial Project. -

Under the above caption, the Richmond Wing
of Tuesday last, publishes an able contributed
article, which deserves the consideration of Con-
gr. SIS. regret that we have not the space to
publish more than very short extract from it,
as it presents very clear view of one of the
most difficult problems in finance. The follow
extract embraces In a nutshell an original
scheme which seems to US to be eminently wise
and practical!
ssMy plan would be to establish depots OF
warehouses at suitable places for the receipt of
cotton and tobacco. 1t should then be inspected
and receipts given to the owners, with certif-
cate Of Indebtedness to them on the part of the
Government for the price of the cotton say l2a
per pound-payable in sixty days. This certifi-
cate would be negotiable and equivalent to cash,
minus the discount for sixty days. The Gov
eminent should then lay an export duty Of or
10 cents per pound on the cotton, and sell 1t for
the best price that could be had in the foreign
market. When the returns were received the
Government, after deductng the 12a cents, the
amount of the deposte certificate, and the duty
and other charges, should pay the residue to the
owner.''
By this plan, the cotton planters have guar
anty of receiving fifty per cent more for their cot
ton than they usually have received, besides
whatever profit may be made by the Government
in the sale of it to foreign purchasers, and, at
tire same time, the Confederate Government
would receive as revenue the amount of export
duty, which would preserve the credit of the
Government and ultimately pay Oft the war debt.
The plan seems to be as practical and efficient as
it is simple.

We noticed in our last issue that Gen.
Hooker, called by the Yankees eight
ing Joe Hooker" had been assigned the
command of the Yankee army of the
Potomac. 1t will be seen by reference
to his address to his army, that he says,
sin equipment, intelligence and valor"
his army is superior to ours. AS it is
known that they are superior in num-
bers, and as he also claims superiority
III ''cquapnaeat, Intelligence and UaJor,"
we suppose that he will at once come
across the Rappahannock, defeat, rout
and capture our whole army. lfGenls
Lee, jackson, Longstreet, the Hills, Ew-
ell, Early, Stuart and other cowardly
rebel Generals have not already got
ten away, and we fear the mud is so
deep that they cannot do so, they are
quaklng in mortal terror of the Massa-
chusetts sighting Joe Hooker" His
appointment to the chief command will
Idemoralize the whole of General Lees
army, and half of his men will have to
be kept as guard to prevent the other
half from running away. To think OF
meeting lighting Joe" with his army OF
such superior Intelligence and valor," is
"out of the question:" and the white-liv-
cred rebels cannot do otherwise than
run and hide and get out of the way, if
possible, so that fighting Joe" can new
er find them. Gen'ls Lee and Jackson
are now in sink holes or hollow trees,
hiding from "Hooker." The following
is The terrifying address of Fighting
Joe" to his army, so renowned for its
Intelligence and valor:"

The Fight near Suffolk.

The enemy, as usual, claim victory in the
fight with Gen. Pryor, on Friday week, on the
Blackwater. They say that their loss was "a
killed and 80 wounded, and that they ran our
men two miles at the point of the bayonet
On the contrary, the Petersburg Express says
that the engagement of General Pryor, turns out
to have been one of the most complete successes
of the war for our arms. The Yankee forces
were signaly defeated, and nothing but a lack
of cavalry in General Pryor's command prevent
ed it from being an utter rout. The Yankee loss
in killed and wounded was 500. Our cas- ualties
numbered 40, of whom six were killed.
A correspondent ofsthe Lynchburg Republi-
can says that prisoners captured report the loss
of the enemy ESQ killed and wounded. The
same correspondent reports our loss about forty.
The reports of this fight are not very consistent,
though they all concur in giving the victory to
us, though we were vastly outnumbered.

PROSPECTS OF PEAoE.-Ifwe meet with no great
and unexpected disasters if we do not relax our
exertons, the war must virtually be ended by the
lst of June. All the signs OF the times, the as
tendency of the Democratic party at tho North,
the partial failure cf their draft, and the entire
cessation of volunteering; the admission by them
that large part oftheir army goes out of service
in May, and that no new recruits can be had to
supply their places the frequent and numero us
assertions from their army, their domestic dis
sessions, their bitter denunciations of Lincoln,
his Cabinet, the Abolitionists and all New Eng
land the imminence of national bankruptcy, the
ruin Of their shipping and commercial interests,
and incipient social anarchy, all prove that they
can keep up the war but few months longer
Besides, they know that foreign intervention
however delayed, must come at last. No doubt
they desire it, in order to have pretext for back
ing out of the contest. Even Horace Greedy ad-
mits that they must conquer US in three months,
or then make the best peace they can.-Dispatch.
