OHl THE PRECIOUS GRAN-We learn that the
Quar:ermaster at this place has been ordered 10
turn over to the government distery here 600
bushels of corn, to be manufactured into whsk+f
This, it is estimated, will make 10000 gallons
This dstlery has been running for MONTHS already,
and it is probable has turned out within the time,
from ten to fifty thousand gallons probably will
not fall short Of 250, 900 per year. And there is
another government establishment in Virginia yield.
ing it is reported 100000 gallons besides several
others in other States doing less or more. Alto
gether. we sppese there is not less than 000 900
gallons furnished the government per annunl Now,
in the name of hungry women and children, Whit
need has the government for so much whisky The
soldiers in the field do not get it. They do not get
full rations of bread meat and other necessares Of
life, to say nothing of many lesser items they
entitled to. Whisky is out Of the question for
them, unless sick Ind seldom even then. And not.
every sick soldier requires it. Suppose one out Of
three to be the number requiring stimnlants, and
the whole number of sick in year 10000. This
would give as 10000 requiring the use Of liquor,
for the yea:; and each man would have to drink
about IS gallons year to consume the government
whisky provided for this part of the public service.
Rarkeepers estimate 60 drinks to the gallon; but
we suppose sick and feeble men would not be 81 ven
as heavy draughts as are usually taken at public
bars by yell men. A gallon, therefore, dealt DOT by
careful, considerate army and hospital surgeons
would most likely run out one hundred drinks
This would give to each man about 20 drinks per
day, which itndst be admitted is pretty heavy al
fowance. Now if it be true that we have $4,000
sick soldiers all the year round requiring that much
whisky for their medical use, then it IS right that
the government should provide it if possible But
we are in the dark on the subject not knowing the
number of sick, nor the quantity necessary for
them. But this we will say, distilliug grain is
expressly forbidden by enactment of the Legislature
of this State; and in yiew of the acknowledged
scarcity of sreadstuffs we believe the law ought 70
be enforced prevent it. There portions Of the
Confederacy where gram is much more abundan.
and at less cost than here; that if whisky must
be had, it would be better for government to send
its orders for it. OF its dstileries to make it. to those
sections. Corn is said to be very abundant in pos
tons Of South-Carolins Georgia and Florida, the
latter State in particular where it sells at from one
to two dollars per bushel. Let the whisky be made
there, and send the 1.-THE cordf North Carolina to

adopted
Mr.. Machen, of Kentucky, said. the resolutions
were good as far as they went. They declared thst
we were fighting war of independence" &C.
This was true; but what is the use Of it The peo-
pie know it. He thought they should 60 furtheron
sve and definite; and he was, therefore, in favour
Of their being referred.
Mr.. Clapp, of Mississippi, said he was greatly in
favour of the resolutions. They were good vas FIR
as they went, but he thought it would be best to
send thst1kto Aseect committee, who could consider
them, and decide upon the propriety of an address,
by Congress-, to the people of the Confederate
States, on the subject of the war, which he would
make even stronger than the resolutions. He would
therefore move their reference to select committee
Mr.. Mclean, of North CanoliAs, said that he fol
ly appreciatedthe motives Of the gentleman from
Virginia in Offering the resolutions, and he asoful
~ concurred in the sentiments expressed therein
He, however, preferred their reference to . select
committee, in order that its matter might be more
fully considered and matured. He thought that q
clear succnct statement of the condition and spirit
of the people of the Confederate States, embodied
in resolutions and an address, would have happy
and cheering effect on the whole country: 1t would
make known to the country our true condition {;
would dispel the gloom and dependency that pre-
wallis in some sections of his own State, and also in
other portions of the Confederacy and would ami
mate and reinvgorate the hopes and spirits Of our
people. The country expected Congress, at least,
to give forth no uncertain sound,p and it was a
matter Of momentous importance to impart correct
information to tho people. He hoI ed therefore,
that the motion Of the gentleman from Mississippi
(Mr. Olapp) would prevail
Mr.. Gray, Of Texas, said be was opposed to the
resolutions being referred. An impression. wheth-
