THE Supplies.
The opinion expressed in this journal {

The opinion expressed ID this journal a
few days since with reference to the supplies
is in course of confirmation. They are in.
creasiug and must still further be increased
by the improving roads and the new policy
of the Government, in relaxing the rigors
of impressment and distractions to trans.
portation. Prices have receded, and must
drop down lower. This will benefit people
and Government. Quotations reduced here
must be followed by reduction everywhere.
Holders for higher prices must let 60 their
stocks: It will be suicide to hold in the
face of decline, which is forced by the
evident fact that there is great deal more
of all the necessaries of life-of bread and
meat and forage-in the country than the
spectators either themselves believed or
made the people believe We are TO- have
large supplies from productive Districts held
for many months by the enemy. They will
be taken chiefly for the army, but will di.
minish the drafts of the army upon other
districts, which will have so much the more
for the citizens. It is to be hoped that the
ensuing seasons will be favorable. If so,
the increased production, under the deter.
mination Of the farmers to multiply their
crops of breadstufs, and curtail those of
tobacco and cotton, will improve the conei.
tiou of the, country generally. The army
will in that case have an abundant supply,
and SO will the people. Prices will at least
be comparatively moderate, and wise poll.
cy of taxation by the Confederate Govern
ment will keep them down greatly below
the mad and ruinous rates which have. for
some months prevailed. The reckless ca
reer Of trade for time past threatened the
Government and people with dreadful evils
the people and the army with want, and
Government and people with the repudia-
tion of the public debt.
Government credit is better, price Of me-
csssaries are lower. The tide has changed
and let US hope permanently. Every citizen
ought to exert his influence to make it so.
It must be poor satisfaction to man to
get an excessive price for his produce when
be knows that his couatry and his Govern.
ment must suffer to the extent Of the gain
to him beyond a reasonable and fair COM
pensation for the results of his labor
Wealth built up in this way must be unsub.
stantial and feeting, if there is any truth
in morality or religion. The wise man
should not desire it; the patriotshoud des-
pise it. All should combine to bring back
the country and commerce to a rational ba.
sis and healthy condition-one in which
we may live aud let live--iu which the in.
terests Of people and Government may be
best protected, and, above all, the: highest
efficiency and suceess be impaired 70 the
national cause, on which depends our only
hope for independence and every blessing it
insures, Richmond Dispatch.

Another Terror.

The philadelphia Press, Of the 10th in
slant has flaming account Of conspiracy
to overthrow the Government, under the
heading, in large capitals: "Important Ar
rest and Astounding Disclosures-A Secret
Treasonable Organization-Ihe President
Of, the United States tosbe Abducted-A
.Northwestern Confederacy Established, &c.
10 a trial in Philadelphia, the affidavit Of
the u, s. Government Detective sets forth
that organizations have been formed in
Pennsylvania to resist the Conscription law
under oath, dsnouuciug the war as dnholy
aud unjust. The Society is million strong;
was first organized in the South hassgrips
aud signs, and passwords.
The obligation is said to be in favor of
the abduction of Abraham Lincoln by force
if necessary; of Northwest Confederacy
and resisting the Gonscription act. The
prisoner denied the second oath. There
was an open meeting at first. The witness
es testified that the object was resistance to
the draft and desire for a Peace Conyen-
tion to settle the war; that Lincoln and the
Cabinet had robbed the Treasury, and if
there was only one shinplaster left they
would 60 in to their elbows to getit. The
war ought to be stopped; uomore menought
to be killed they would rather be killed
at home. and if taken to Washington wonld
90 over to Jeff. Davis, The discharge of
the prisoners was refused. The case was
adjourned to tho 4th.of May, and witnesses
bailed.
In Reading, Pennsylvania, several hun
dred armed men assembled to rescue the
prisoners supposed to be there. Large
numbers were formed to reinforce them =
Treason is taking an iusurrectionary form.
Philadelphia was frightened lest the mob
should march there. The Press says, on
the subject of "Treason in Pennsylvania, "
that "the spirit of crime is not confined to
the band in Berks county. The organiza-
tion is mightier than million men," but
"must be overthrow before we can expect
peace and triumph"

PRESENTATION TO THE CITADEL AcAD.
EMY.-Tbe fifteen inch and eleven inch
solid shots, and fifteen inch she'll which
our citizens have seen and examined while
lying at Headquarters for some days past,
were removed to the Citadel Academy and
presented to that Institutionaby General
Beauregard. The solid shots were picked
up at Fort Sumter and are a good specimen
Of the heavy metal thrown by the Monitors
in the late attack. The fifteen inch eolid
shot is perfectly aattened on one part Of its
surface. The fifteen inch she'll is speci-
men of the metal fred by the Montauk, at
Fort McAlister. r.--Marleston Courier,

Tba Fall of Prices.

The healthy influence OF the Tax Bill,
which has just become law, is already
making itself felt in the provision market.
Since the leading features Of the tax have
obtained publicity, the decline Of prices, in
flour, rice and other articles of food, has
been steady and unmistakeable. A variety
of reasons are given to account for the fall;
some attributing it to the sudden contrac,
tion of the currency by the recent funding
of so many millions of our redundant cur
rency in Confederate bonds; and others al
leging as cause, the restrictions lately i'm.
posed upon Interstate shipments for the
purposes Of speculation: Both these cir
cumstances, doubtless, have contributed in
a measure, to bring about the reduction of
prices; but the agency that has been main.
ly instrumental in eGecting the welcome
change is, in fact, the new Confederate tax.
At no time, we feel convinced, hasthere
existed any real scarcity Of food in the
Southern States. But in every community,
besides and distinct from the spectators
and extortioners, there have been timid
capitalists, who, investing their funds in an
accumulation Of provisions, and refusing to
sell, rather with view to security, than
profit, have virtually Withdrawn from the
market very large proportion of its natu-
raj supplies. An artificial scarcity has thus
been produced, while, in truth, there was
abundance 10 the land.
But during the last three weeks, prices
have reached their acme, and there is reason
to believe that the decline which has begun
is not yet ended. The new wheat and corn
crops promise to be the heaviest ever known
in the South, and will, ere long, be pressing
into the market. The policy of importing
provisions in large quantities has already
been inaugurated, the we'll known Charles
ton firm, whose enterprise and tact has al.
ready, in other respects, conferred incalcu.
liable benefits upon the country, taking the
lead in this last and most important deVel'
opment of the blockade trade. With the
prospect of this early and active competi-
I tipn in the market, and with the certainty
of the heavy tax upon boarded produce,
which must be paid early in the summer, it
| is not strange that holders should every
where be cautiously relaxing their grasp
upon their accumulated supplies. Nor need
we be surprised to find that, as those sup.
plies, SO long withheld, are wisely yielded
to the demand, there occurs such a tumble
in the price of food, as will add new nerve
to the arms of our soldiers in the field, and
send Joy and thankfulness to the hearts OF
the whole people, Charleston Mercury.
