An agricul.urist would respectfully beg
leave TO offer few remarks to producers Of

able and worthy Secretary Of the Treasury,
in which he -sys: I" regard the Treasury OF
the Confederate States as mostpecnliarly the
treasury of the people" He asks tho con-
Nieuce aud support oithose to whom bs:oass
the .fi,,ances. and he we'll deserves both 10

characters, the bravery Vf our soldiers, VIE
ara daily sealing their devotion to the Gauss
VIII their blood. Will not producers OF the
sinews Of war emulate theui i'll patriotism by
giving only their surplu. provisions TO the
f;oyernment at prices to'iusure successful

Ihe schedule of prices established BY the
. Commissioners of eS.ateuuder the Impress
