OF THE REGISTER:

would ask you to publish the facts with
regard to the raising of Co. A. EXemptS
W Aa. volunteer infantry, the objects Tor
raising it, the duties to which it WAS
assigned, and how the members VI the
company from Ohio county were decely-
ed. IfImistake not, IN August, 1862, the
Governor Of Virginia obtained permission
from Hon + VI Stanton, for Robert
Hamilton, 10 raise d company OF men
over torty-five years Of age, to do pro-
vost duty at this post, and to relieve
younger men so that they might go to
the front. Accordingly Hamilton went
to work and with the help OF Thomas
MCQUEEN, now lst Lieutenant OF the
company, enlisted one hundred men
promising them that they thould un
doubtedly have both local and govern
ment bounty.
The County Court appropriated the
sum of ten Thousand dollars for local
bounties, but the day before we were
mustered into the service of the United
States that amount was exhausted. Mr
Woods the then President Of the County
Court, told some Of us that at the next
session of the court another appropria-
tion would undoubtedly be made, and
We would be paid the fifty dollars local
bounty Unfortunately Nr Woods new
Ell again met with the Court, as he died
before its next session So We got no
county bounty, and now We are told we
are not credited. IT this is true, some
body high i'll Office is to blame, for We do
know that We are credited to the State
Of West Virginia and if not to Ohio coun-
II will the executive tell us how it is he
had those of our company here in Ohio
county credited to the State at large,
while those who live ill Hancock and
Wetzel counties were credited to those

and rightly managed. win be ma
tional blessing" and arguing from
these premises quantity maintains,
that "the funded debt of the United
States is the addition Of three thou
sand millions of dollars to the preyi-
ously realized wealth Of the nation.
1t is three thousand millions added
to its available active capital. 10
paw this debt would be to extinguish
this capital and to lose this wealth
would be an inconceivably great ma
tional misfortune
The proprietary interest in the
finances Of the country, now becom-
ing so universally diffused among the
people as holders Of the "seven-thirty
bonds" is one Of the strongest ties
undoubtedly to bind the people to-
gether in that unity of feeling which
arises from 4 community of interest,
and must have a goodly effect upon
the permanence Of the restored Union.
This, in substance, is one of the
strong points urged by the writer in
support Of his theory, and by a
parity of reasoning, be brings tor
ward the significant fact, long since
acknowledged. that British consols
which are held by the English pub
lie as a frst-class mortgage upon
all the wealth and resources of the
empire, act as spur to the industry,
capital and enterprise Of the pec-
pie. cementing them into one great
bond of union, and keeping alive a
spirit OF energy and discrimination to
support and perpetuate the Govern.
ment under which they live.
President JOHNSON, i'm a late in
terview with Gen. LOGAN, remarked
with reference to our public debt,
"that the finances of the country
were in a hopeful condition; that
probably it was possible to resume
specie payments immediately, were
it not for the commercial distress it
would create throughout the country
generally. AS to the public debt of
the country, he was in favor of pay
ing it to the last dollar, and would
never c0untenancs any man, party,
sect or measure that even squinted
at repudiation in any form. The
debt was incurred to save the coun-
try. 1t was a legacy of the war be-
queathed to us tor good OF evii. IL
was not possible to shirk it. On the
other hand, the great question would
be to make it, if possible, an instru-
ment Of good, not evil, to the public
generally"
The hopeful view taken by the
President of the country's finances,
tallies with what was publicly stated
by Mr.. MCCULLocH, the Secretary
of the Treasury, several weeks since,
and is certainly one of the most en-
signs Of the times.

CorroN AND COMMUNICATIONS
who speculate on the future of cot
ton are too apt to ignore or but i'm.
perfectly to recognize the part
which peculiar advantages Of soil
and climate played in securing the
supremacy in cotton culture to the
Southern portion of the United
States. OF the two foundations on
which rested Southern ability to
defeat competition in the growth of
that staple everywhere else one,
black slave labor, has been shatter-
ed. Hereupon some commercialists
seem to think that the whole ques
ton Of restoring prosperous cotton
culture in the South depends upon
the restoration in substance Of the
same labor under a different name.
This labor question is certainly a
matter for very grave consideration;
but as regards the competition OF
the South with other countries in
the prodution of cotton, it is not an
essential element Of calculation.
The abolition of slavery can do
no worse than place the South en-
an equality AS to labor with other
countries where cotton has been
cultivated without slave labor
She still possesses singular ground
of superiority in point of soil and
climate. This advantage is indes
tructible at least political causes
cannot overthrow it. If the war
had the effect of developing what
seemed a dangerous foreign compe-
tition in cotton culture, 1t has also
more fully revealed the fact that
the South, on equal terms, has moth
ing to fear from competition.
1t is now placed beyond denbt.
that in none of the competing coun.
tries can cotton be produced with
the same facility and certainty and
Of as good a quality as in the splen-
did cotton belt of the United States,
lying between 81 and 35 degrees of
latitude and stretching from the
Atlantic to the borders OF the West.
ern desert, Their inferiority in
point Of quality has been especially
manifest.
These facts are enough to show
that, with reasonable energy aud
sagacity, American cotton can be
made to recover it's empire and to
hold it securely against all compe-
titors.-N. O. Bee.
