The value OF Confederate Money.
Confederate money, estimated by the
gold standard, is now worth about eight
cents on the dollar. The rebels have
dxed standard, however, by which they
profess TO regulate the value Of their
money. That standard is wheat The
price of this cereal is fixed by the rebel
government at five dollars per bushel.
With this, however, many of the farmers
are dissatisfied, aud assert that FIVE dol
lars in currency is, in reality, less than
fifty cents The Richmond Sentinel in
this connection, says:
There is fact 20 which we think il
proper 70 call the attention Of the fair
minded, and even the insatiably greedy
themselves. All the officers Of the gov
eminent are paid the old salaries, except
slight increase in the salary Of some of
the clerks. According to the rule of the
correspondent whom we have noticed, the
President gets less than twenty five
hundred dollars a year; the Secretaries
less than six hundred; the clerks less
than hundred and fifty. Our thrice
noble soldiers, also, are paid only the old
price. According 10 the rule now appli-
cd, il is less than one dollar per month
for the privates. Our field and line OIL
GERS receive from eight TO twenty dollars
per month out of which to board and
clothe themselves. All these are receiv-
ing the old prices. But not so the wrath
ful correspondent, Instead of one dollil
per bushel for his wheat, which he would
in other times have been glad to get, ht
now receives five dollars per bushel
lie gets FIVE prices for the wheat tina
feeds soldiers working at the old price
and he raves over his pay as a mockery
and cheat, and a swindle.
This shows very clearly that all thu
efforts of the rebel press to bolster up til,
currency are futile. Even the whea
standard will not prevent people from
thinking that the Confederate money i
! is almost worthless.

The following precious piece Of twat-
tie is from letter captured recently
amongst JEFF, Davis's papers in Missis-
sippi:
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. IS, 1858.
/ am no disunion man. / have lived
long enough at the North to be able to
appreciate fully the good qualities, ener-
gy, commercial aptitude and shrewdness
of its inhabitants. But /, for one, will
never submit tamely, in any community,
whatever may be its advantages, TO be
snubbed and robbed of my just rights,
even at the risk of losing in the contest
all that Imay be possessed of. We have,
in my humble opinion, no concessions to
make to them; for TO us the question of
slavery is one of life or death; TO them
it is one of fancy and of pOliti-
cal capital. The more we yield TO their
unjust demands the more exacting they
will become; for as their preponderanoe
in our national council increases ours di-
minishes, until at last they shall have
become so strong that they viii not even
deign to ask, but will order forthwith
the execution of q measure which will
bring death and desolsiiOn to our homes
But this is a question SO familiar to your
high intelligence and patriotism that
will pursue it no further. Hoping tina
"all will end we'll that is well, remain
dear sir,
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't
