Taxation.

The Mobile AdvertisSr and Register says,
oar exchanges groan with learned essays
or fnance-the object being to show how
the Government can arrest the depIeei-
alton Of redundant currency, maintain
the public credit, and finally pay its
debts. We have supreme contempt for
words when great and prominent facts
stand out to challenge universal atien-
ton. 1t is a waste of breath. Of paper
and Of common sense 10 beat the bush
for impossible ways 10 40 impossible
things, when it is clear TO every intelligent
mind there is but one way 10 accomplish
the end sought, and that is as simple as
the commones, sum in arithmetic, and
as obvious as the evil to be corrected
What is the difficulty? 1t is that the
Government is paying lavishly out Of the
Treasury for the support Of the war, ana
nothing is coming into it. An empty I'll
and depreciation of Government paper TO
worthlessness are the inevitable results OF
such a process in given time. what Is
the remedy3 There is but one earthly
remedy. and Congressman, Treasury
Clerks and Editors may search their
heads till doomsday, and exhaust the
finance libraries and fiscal references ana
experiences of the Governments OF the
world, in vain effort to find another
Taration is the only resource, TO keep
down the interest upon and keep up the
value Of your paper money, and hnaliy 10
sink and absorb the principal OF your
debt. And while ii is an memorable truth
that taxation is the true and only saliva
ton of Confederate credit, il is also true
that the sooner it is restored the better.
Are our Congressman afraid TO approach
their duty? Then, they are not the men
for the times. Are they conscious of an
incapacity to master the subject, ofhnance!
Then, in mercy to the country, let them
resign and give place to those who have
both the ability and the courage to do
their duty. The people are ready to pay
the tax, and they are able to bear it,
They expect it. They know their safety,
property and liberties depend upon the
public credit being sustained, that the
army must be disbanded unless it is, and
they must become vassals to Yankee lords
and their women the slaves Of Yankee
passions. If they have gwen their sons
and brothers and their own blood to avert
the horrid doom, will they not give their
substance2 Tax! That is the cure Of
the financial malady. Tax heavily enough
to meet the public exigencies during the
war, and when peace is restored it will re-
ouire only little courageous statesman
ship to WELD the immense resources OF
the Confederacy to the speedy cxtinguish-
ment of its debts.

There has been terrific fire on the Fort,

Our Currency.

The Georgia CoaSatuhOnaiiSt, in speaking
of the difference in the price of gold and
OF paper money, holds tho following strong
and sensible language. A delinquent
Congress is to blame for such state Of
things, and the country will hold them
responsible for thus neglecting the best
interests of the country:
The disagreeable difference is owing to
the TACT that our public men cannot nerve
themselves TO the necessity which is press
ing upon them more and more torclbly
every day-they will not risk taxation.
They content themselves win miserable
expedients and half measures, when they
should boldly trust the people and de-
mand that the expenses OF the Govern
meEt should be betrayed in the only le-
gitimate way, by taxation. 1t is right to
learn from our Gpemies, says n classic
proverb, and our financial experience has
taught US that it would have been better
at once at the commencement OF the war
TO have resorted to taxation as the FEEDER
al Government did, than to have delayed
it thus long, until the accumulated bur.
den has become almost unmanageable,
and nothing but the most accomplished
financial acumen, combined with courage
ehough to face the emergency squarely,
will open way out oil our difficulties,
We must meet our embarrassments
boldly. The time Tor conceallng and CLOS
sing over the condition OF the finances
has past. 1t is SO plainly unpromsing
that he who runs may read" We have
practiced long enough upon the plan OF
preventing discussion, and it is better, far
better, that we should boldly acknowl-
edge the existence Of danger, Of which
indeed every body is aware, and endeavor
| by consultation and discussion to find a
way OF avoiding them Our financial sit
uation is by no means desperate, indeed
it is full Of hope, but the means must be
at once found 10 employ 10 advantage our

The Teachings of History.

History is not u barren catalogue OF
dates. LIS pages throb with the life OF
nations. Effects are deducel from caus-
rs and we sit to-day in the broad light
of tour thousand years. II we err as
people, we do so with the chart before our
eyes, and will deserve to be damned.
The fate OF the conquered, stares us in
the face from many bloody pnge and
the terrible warning is lost only on the
ignorant.
We are not resisting merely because
we hate our foe. We are not fighting
merely for this soil which God IN his
goodness has gwen us to possess We are
not lighting merely to maintain our prop
erty from The spoliatlon OF robbers. No!
far weighlier consideration nerves our
arms TO strike. We are struggling for the
mental and moral elevation of the thou
sanGs who will follow after us. History
tells US that among every conquered PEG
pie low cunning takes the place Of wis
dom, and treachery otcourage; and mind
loses its vlgor and manliness-the heart
its generosity and aspirations. Men who
suffer themselves TO be subjugated debase
md br-utalize themselves. This truth is
exempifed in the histories Of Greece and
Rome. The Lnz5aroni, that bask like
reptiles in Italian suns exempify it,
They are descendants Of braye and free
men, as may God help us to be but their
sres bowed 10 the yoke of the invader,
and the curse has descended to this gene
ration. They are slaves that have no de-
sire 10 be tree.
Poverty and misery may follow in the
path OF war, but for this we are prepared,
so that Heaven be pleased in mercy to
shield us from the fate OF the conquered.

sentiments which have lately been credi-

to state what they are
By the voice Of these officers the army

fairs and the condition Of the country !;
and, furthermore, to lift over them the
rod Of the military power in case they fail

country or in the assemblies Of his fellow

to peace sentiment Is "a traitor to his
country, who deserves the scorn and con

Miroy informed the people Of Indiana
