4 NEW PARTY.
country.

There is scheme on foot in some Of the \ ORTIZ
ern States to establish new party upon the basis
of questions connected with the national finances
One plank of the platform suggested by those who
are engaged in this movement is 'that the same
imitation of currency under which The national
debt was contracted shall be maintained until the
debt shall have been paid" 1t is also insisted
that the government debt shall be paid off in
preenbacks that the entire wealth of the nation
may be placed upon common taxable footing. In
order to accomplish these objects it is regarded as
essential that new party be formed
Whether or not this movement will amount to
anything important it is Impossible ROW to pre-
dict but it is certain that the pressure of taxation
upon the people, and the palpable and unjust inc
qualities in the system arc attracting very con-
siderable degree of attention. and it is equally GER
tain that this interest will continue to grow. The
tactics of the Radical party necessarily drives the
people to the consideration of every proposed
method for relieving themselves from the weight
which now presses upon them and from which
there appears to be no immediate prospect OF re-
lief but there is at present question before the
American people more vital than that of the man
agement of the public debt, and that is the qucs-
ton of the perpetuity of the Government, which of
course embraces the other. If the Government is
overthrown, the debt will ef necessity perish with
it, and though the form of government should
be retained, if there is not some improvement in
its administration, reputation is inevitable, for
the people will not long submit to the present rate
of taxation, which paralyzcs their industry and
eats up the fruits Ct their Tabor.
The great struggle for supremacy, now going on
between the Democratic and Radical parties, must
be decided before there be any new parties or
any reorganization of old ones. II the Democracy
are defeated and Radicalism trumphs then it will
be necessary to form new binatons upon new
issues, and it is than probable that they will
be formed The only security for the national
debt and the only hope of relief from taxation, is
in bringing the Government back to its normal
condition; in giving the South an opportunity TO
develop its resources in the disbandmcnt of the
great portion of onr Immense aud expensive army,
and in every other possible way curtailing our cx-
pcnditurcs. These things cannot be hoped for SO
long as the Radicals arc in power.

prpsT ar NAY. 1865.

An article appeared in these columns few weeks
400. copied from the New: York Evening POSI- pur-
nortinr to emanate from lady correspondents in
this State, and giving an account of the famous
Browns raid in this District in May, 1865. We
refer to the subject now for the purpase of correct
ing several errors into which the writer has fallen,
We presume, because of wrong information. In
the first place, the correspondent pssinly intimates
that the troops visiting Anderson c. H., comprised
about one hundred men, deserters from both the
Federal and Confederate armies. This statement is
entirely erroneous. The troops under Gen. BRowN
embraced the division of Gen. SToNEMAS, belong
ing to the Federal army, and numbering more than
20Ce. They entered this place about five o'clock
in the afternoon of the first day of May, and re-
maincd until Tuesday night, when the main body
moved off in the direction of Athens, Geo., leav-
ing a rear guard of fifty men until the next morn
ing. During their halt at this place, more than
hundred citizens were arrested and confined IN
the Court House, nearly all the residences were
pllagcd and sacked, every store and place OF busi-
ness was entered, and the contents destroyed or
carried off The damage to the town reached
thousands of dollars, aud there was no resistance
to these vandal proceedings from the simple fact
that there was no organized forces at this place,
except a small post guard, whose vigilance and
activity was not equal to the work of resisting two
thousand armed men, especially when the majority
of this small command had been captured or III
tercepted on the various roads leading to Ander-
son. We might dwell at length upon the exciting
and terrible scenes enacted at that time, hut deem
it necessary, on this occasion, to simply rcfute the
misstatemcns of the correspondent alluded to. In
doing this, we have no intention to diminish the
aures of any set of men, from Pendleton, or else
where, but merely re correct an erroneous impress
sion likely to be made by the graphic description
in the Ercning Post. 1t is proper to add, however,
that the statements contained in this correspon-
dents article, so far as know, are truthfnf and
satisfactory, when the writer aludes to the condi-
tion of affairs about Pcndleton. Of course, the
persons mentioned are designated by fictitious
names, but the scenes related were of actual occur
renee, VIC believe.

that the War Department and the Administration
have at last been rid of the incubus that has so
long weighed them down. Notwithstanding the
efforts of those in whose service he had employed
to make him hero; notwithstanding their fatter-
inr enconiums of the Radical 'Carnot' o. the war,
who had sold himself to Radical influences, and
consented to become simply SPY upon the Ad-
mnistration, in which, from his position, he was
entitled to participate, there are grave charges
against his loyalty, and graver still against his
proper administration of affairs. He may have
been most excellent political Secretary OF War;
but he was certainly not frugal one lie may
have administered the affairs of the War Depart
ment in the interest of such men as Holt, Ashley,
Butler Conover & Co., but most surely he has not
conducted them for the benefit of The people OF the
country.
