cannot in many cases be feid >■ advance, or on de

the difficulty ta regard to the Whig, we will hereeftei
prepay thw postage at this effiee on paper* ordered bj
persona in tbs army, deducting the amount of pootsgi
from the remittances sent.
By an area- g;m«nt with the Postmaster at Echmocd,
we will mark each paper “paid,” whieh, by pasen:g
through the offioe here, will be evidenee to every othei
office that tie poetage has been paid h«rv.
Wtea no poet offioe is given, but merely the com

The Secretary of the Treasury and the Currency.
' Children cry for the moon, and stretch out their
hands to drag it down from the «ky ; appearing very
much surprised, at first, tad then very much enraged
when they’find themselves unable to seise it. It is <
peculiarity of the Infantile intellect to imagine largt
things ta be small, thus to bring them within the scop,
of tte own comprebeosi n. After a while ohil Iren cea*
ta cry for the moon, and discover that it ia too far foi
tnem to react*, and too big for them to grasp. Bu.thr
tendency of naturally small minus to cocren me nn-n
in o the little sticks i« them generally through 1 fa In
fact, with them, nothing is ever groat; not ting is ever
difftcnl;. Th* Ires they know the more they aesuini to
know, and, consequently, they undertake to solve the
nsost d (Boult problems in meUphysioe, in rcienee, or in
political economy, w.th an easy cccfilence, to which
Plato, or Xewtoo, or Adam Smith, never thought ol
aspiring. In fact, as Turgot says: ’When men are
ignorant it is easy for them to know everything * We
donl know whether Mr. Memminger imagines the mnoc
to hs a place of green cheese, and so would no; assert
that he trios to grasp it with his tiu mcisl fingers. He
has probably fount?, out by this time that be cannot
quite reach tte moon. But he certainly has not dis
covered whst is perfectly clear to everybody else—that
the eurreocy question is just as far beyond the reach
of his mind as the moon is b'yond the reach of hie
hands. If Mr. Memminger wete a private oilizan of
the Goniederacy, his hallucinations on this tubject
would be harmless enough; but it becomes a seriou*
•scatter when tbs S.-crs ary of the Treasury is a person
who brirge to th# solution of that moat difficult and re
eondite problem, on whiob depends, perbapj, the sal
vation of the country, more than the presumption of a
man and lees than the capacity of a child.
Hr. Hemminger appears to think that tho whole
duly of a Secretary of the Treasury consist in the
manufaotuie of money, and to imagine that be makes
the eoontry rich by amply flooding it with bis paper
promises to pay. It wts a very easy matter to put om
Treasury notes at the rale of fifty millions e month. Ti e
Immense aggregate reptesented by the annual issue bad
m sort of terrors for a mind which is entirely ioeapa* Ie
of appreciating greatness either of quantity or of nun.*
ber, and teems to tost the vastness of hundreds or ol
thtutand* of Bilious, by the facil ty with which a
ejpber can be added or anbstractcd. The Confederate
Congress, very wisely, took entirely a differeut view of
the subject. It was evident to that body that, under
tha manipulations of Mr. Memminger, ocr finance*
were rapidly getting into almost ineztrieabl) confusion,
and our currency depreciaucg with a rapidity wh cb
threatened to revues it to a valu: no greater (ban tha.
of the paper of which it is oompoeed. And this, indeed,
had bee oats clear to the whole oountry, except, per
haps, the Secretory of the Treasury. Hones Congress
found itself compelled to adopt tha law “to rodu.e the
Currency, and to authors* a new lMtte of Bonds end
Notes"—a law whtch met the approbation of almost
everybody, txeepf Mr. Memminger. It wouli, per
haps, be tupetfluoue to in'orm that gentleman, that the
object of this law woe, as its title indicates, really :o
reiuoe tbs currency. We know, from rations sources
that th* axtant of it* reduction supposed to be attain
able under the set, would leave in circulation not ui ch
more (ban |S00 000,000 of Treasury notes- i-rtaWy
r BnAomtKalt ftHlk* t fli tA f¥k>
It was supported, as we learn from (he expositions ai.d
explanations made by variou-t intelligent members of
t.'oogrees, that there would be taken up by taxation, un'
der the general tax la*, and under the provisions of tbe
Currecey act, taxing the existing issue of Treasury
notes, an amount equal to about $400,000,000, which
amount would be iarther increased by the compulsory
funding of about $130,000,000 of interest-beating
notes. Tbe people have shown an extraordinary cheer*
tulnesj in coming to the aid of tbe Government in the
consummation of this stupendous financial project.—
They knew, even if Mr. Memmicger did not know it,
that the high prices consequent on the enormous kilt
ton of tbe currency would rot, and could not, in the
long run, he compensated by the abundance of money.
They stw perfectly well that this fictitious abundance ol
money was merely a measure ot tbe indebtedness ol
the Government, and that i s infallible result would be
repudiation, from sheer inability to pay, or an ex ten
lively onerous and, perhaps, uatndurable taxation.—
They, therefore, heartily apptoved the Congressional
effort to reduce the currency within reeeonahle limit*,
and still mere heartily approv.d the clause of the act
which declares “ that after the fi.at of April all au
thority heretofore fcv.t to tbe Secietary ot the Trea
sury to issue Treasury notes shall be end is hereby re
voked”—bxoause it was dear tlx:, in the absence of
this salutary restriction, Mr. Memminger’s uccontrolUb e
passion lor tho manufacture of money would soon render
nugatory, and’, in fact, worse than useless, all the projects
of Congress lor the reduction of tip currency. Bat it
seems that tbe Secretary of the Treasury does not in
tend to bo guided by tbe known spirit and lot ntion of
the law. On tbe oontiary, be baa emlduoudy employed
his small stock of kgeuuity in tbe discovery of aome
expedient which might enable him to defeat tbe de
signs of Congress and tbe just expectation of the coun
try. Tho child most have bis plaything. To be sure
Congress thought the currency too big a thing for h:m
to amuse himself with any longer; but this only en
raged him the more when he thought if removed from
hie roach. Mow to get it back ? That was the quee
t on; and he seems to Lave solved it to his sali-laoston,
quite eareless whether he tnfl ct detr meat oo the coun
try, and defeat the known objects of the law. We
t-iowed, a few days ago, bow, by a seeming negligence
ia tbe wording of a certain clause in t e Currency so:,
the Secretary of the Treasury might assume himself to
be authorise! to ieaoo new notes, in exeeea of the
amount txehanged tor old iesoca. We thought
then that he had just enough scute, ese to en
able him to ms this unfortunate defect, and
qoito enough stupidity to avail himself of it for the
purpose of doing exactly what Congress and the couu
•
try did no', want him to do. Our expectations w«.o not
unloaded We see it stated, as if on authority, that
the Secretary of the Treasury counts among bia “ .e
sourcea" $n6.000,060 of Treaaniy notes or thereabout#,
which he cooeidcrs himte f author xed to iraue—.he
Mid eum beiug ciliated aa two-thirda of the amount
of note# received iato the Treasury in payment for fotr
per cont bond#. The worde of the law, under which
tie cla n< thia power, are aa follows t
Sec. 3 That after the first day of April next all au
thor! y heretofore giveu to the Secretary of the Treaa
ory to iMue Treasury notes shall bo, and is hereby, re
voked, provided the Secretary of the Treasury may,
after that time, iaaue new Treasury notes in sucb form
as be may prescribe, payable two years alter the rati
fication of a treaty ol peace wlh the United Spates, mid
new issue to be receivable in payment of all public
dues, except export and import dudes, and to be Issued
in exchange for old notes, at the rate of two dollars ot
the new for three doliara of the old issue, whether said
1 old notes be surrecdered for exchange by tho holders
thereof, or be received into fhe Treasuty under tho
prov.air na of this ac‘.
It will be seen from the above tl at, in the first place,
all authority to iaaue new cotes is annulled, exoeptacch
notes aa may be put out In place of the old ones re
maining in circulation after the funding in the four per
oents for tax paying purposes. For it would be clearly
absurd to provide for the absorption of three hundred
•uillipna by taxation, and then permit the Secretary of
the Treasury to raitsuo $200,000,000 of the amount so
■beorbed. That It was the intent of tho law to get rid
permu>eu ly of the whole amount taken uVby taxaticn
a made clear by the wording of the law, which says
distinctly that the utw notes are to be 'ssued ‘‘in ex
change far old uotea.” This limitation la peremptory.
Tho law then goM on to say that the new notea may
.be issued at the rat* of two for three, “whether *aidold
not** (that iatoaay, the notes taken in txthangt lor
new notes) be surrendered for exchange by the holdcia
thereof or be received into the Treasury under the pro.
Visions of this act." Hence, aa the notea paid for four
par cant bonds are reoeived into the Treasury under
doe provisions of the sot, Mr. Memminger not only
caima a right to base anew issue upon them, although
this is not in say aense aa exchange as contemplated
by the law, bat actually, as we infer from a seemingly
_■_• . j ...._.i i. - _l .r ,1.:.
to make use of these words as a pretext for putting out
$175,000,000 more of new Treasury notes. Thus are
the iutentions of Congress to be defeated and the hopes
of the country to be disappointed. Instead of a
currency of $150,000,000, which tho country can very
well bear, we are to htve a currency of tearly $450,
000,000, which everybody knows the country cannot
bear. We are to have a continuance of high prices,
worth'es* money, feverish specula ion, ju<t became the
Congressional piau was not Mr. Memmioger’s plan; and
because the child most have the moon to play with,
even if he have to upset tho theory of gravitation to
get at it. _
Northern Militia to Be Called Out
One i cm in our latest files of Northern pspers is
worthy of notice. The regular army is to consitt cf
760,000 effective men, and, in addition, the organised
militia of the entire North is to be called out for fix
months, in order to hold points of strategic importance,
while the trained troops are engaged in active boeiili
ties. What the effective strength of the Northern
m litia may be, we eaocot state wi h accuracy; bnt It
will be safe to esti i ate it in round number* at two mil
lions. Wa shall have, therefore, twenty-seven hundred
.hoosand men to contend sgaicst next summer!
This ii not altogether an empty boast on the part of
the enemy. The Republican leaders know that their
necks are in the halter, and they will not hseitate a mo
ment about calling oat the militia, if their necks can be
saved in no other manner. Men in eo perilous a
position know no limit but tbe patience of the people.
Short of a civil war, they will not stop; and they will
risk even that rather than be defeated, driven fiom
power and bounded to the ends of the earth.
The militia may not answer to their call, and we are
far from believing that they will ever have more than
five or six hondred thousand men, including veterans
and militia, in the field. Bu: it must be remembered
that the States are in the bands of Republican Gover
nors, who will respond promptly to any demand which
Lincoln may make. Shou d Piovidence bl as the Gon
'elerate arms with a great victory early in the cam
paign, the Northern militia will surely be celled out;
or, iu case we remain strictly on the defensive, the call
* ill be made in time to co-operate with the general
advance of the regular army. In either event, then,
we may expect to encounter large maases of fbe foe.
Happily, we are not unprepared for the great shock
of arms. Our strength in trained troops is not much
below that of tho enemy, and the act of Oongreae, pro
viding tor the calling out and organising of the re
serves, is already being enforced in certain localities.
If the enemy have a levy en masse, we will no: bealow
to imitate their example. They will outnumber us,
perhaps, both in veterans and militia; but that is not a
matter of aerious 'moment. Man for man, We have
never bad, or expected to have; the fighting, in that
event, would be most unfair. Two to one will make it
about right.
Wbat may be expeoted of our veterans when pitted
against the veterans of the North, we know full well;
nor cm the enemy plead igooranoe on this head. We
are quite willing to trust our militia against their mill
tla .nd tka ..anal rxAAm T» k. kA.
ever, whether oor raw levies will be able to reach those
“ important strategic positions," which are to bo held
by the Yankee militia. Our cavalry and mounted in
fantry will attend to thia particular portion of the grand
Northern programme. Forrest, Morgaw, Imboden,
Moaby and others will, we dare aay, find leiaare to in
dulge in some very pretty sport in0ie vicinity of the
“important strategic positions.” We do not envy the
Yankee militiamen who may chance to occupy some of
bese positions.
Due allowance b.-icg made for bombast, our authori
ties will continue their preparations to meet the host ol
Vandals whenever and wherever they may appear, and
to give them hoepilabie reception. It ie the last rally
of the big bully already blown and sorely bruised
•bout tba eyes. If we give him a good fall this time,
he will rally no more. The huge Heenau of nations
will icq lire msdieal attendance, and that promptly.—
The call for the Northern mOj'lia » wDt be Warded by
all the woild ai the premonitory symptom or the grand
collsp'e We trust it will be made immediately.
The Agricultural Tax.
Much doubt exists with b)ih tax aise^sors and payerg
upon the proper construction of the not to “Levy Ad
ditional Taxss," passed by the late Congress. “So
many attendant d Acuities" are apparent to Mr. Thomp
son Allan, the Commissioner of Taxes, in reference to
the agrienlMral tax tba-, in his late instrnctiona to as
■eaeora, ha “deemed it best not to settle it at preeent
by tba Department, but to refer it to Congress at its
meeting in May." The wording of the sot admits of
contradictory constructions, the stumbling block being
what period, or whioh year, the several provisions of
the act apply to. To oome to a dearer understanding
upon the subjeet, the first point to aettlo is when tb
year, whether 1863 or 1884, begins.
To* beginnir g of a calendar year on the 1st Jan
is a mere conventional arrangement. That many in
convenience# attend thia arrangement is universally
recognised, and it would perbapa.be altered, bat that
it would ciuse more confusion than to violate it at will.
In times past almost every day of the year has, by soma
nation or o:bar, been fixed as the commencement of
the year. Ivan now the Tuiks and Arabs, not to speak
of other Eastern nations, do not raekon the year from
tbe 1st January. Nor do more civilired nationr,
especially ourealvee, recogniu any propriety in adher
ing in our every day transactions to tbe 1st Jan. It
was originally a Heathen institution, because Janus,
for whoai Numa nsm.d that month, vis bi faetd in
k>ok<d bef. m *ni behind. In New York, bouse rent is
oMimati H f'om May to May. . In acme other cities it is
from Oct tc Ox, and so wiih other transactions and
rt til-menU1, varying with climate and the custom of
bu-iuts'. The 1st July, when the farmer baa uauallv
d (pored of his surplus produce, and commenced to
gather his growing crop and make bia calculations for
preparing for the nex\ is the trne New Year Day for
Lim. Toe Fiscal year of tome of oor States begins
ibe 1st Oct., but that of the United States was not ma
ny yiaraago fixed Tor the 1st of July, and in that our
Confederate Government has wisely followed than.
On the SO:h June closes the Fired year of 1868 or
1864, or 1863 4, however it may be called, and to that
year belong all the taxes or tithes tbe payment of
which falls due wl'.hin Ibatyrar. It is scarely possible
to doubt that Corgress, aware of this, purposely fixed
on the 1st Jane, ia its late set, for the paymont of the
“additional" taxes. By that time the tithee of the last
crop will be pretty generally In the hands of the Gov
ernment, bat hardly before. It would clearly be the
greatest injustice to make farmers, in addition to pay-w
ing the taxes imposed during the Fiscal year 1868-4—
or 1868, as it may be called, also pay, before that year
expires, in currency now, all tbe taxes for the ectuing
year, and wait on the chances of crops, tiibea and
vainer, most of which were not planted at the time of
the passage of tbe act, or even yet, with the privilege
of haviog the value of their tithes, not “deduo led" as
tbe aot provides, bat refunded as each several tithe
ecmes in. The act must clearly mean, then, that it is
an “additional," ipecific, retrospective tax of S per
cent, on all property employed if agriculture, from
which “shall be deduoted the value of the tax in kind
derived therefrom, us assessed under the law imposing
it, and delivered to the Government.1”
An Ominous Event in Illinois.
Three hundred men have been found in Minoie bold
’enough to take up arms againit tbe tyranny at Wash
ington. They w;re probably ditpersed in a fow hours
by tbe troops s< ut fer that purpose, and the movement,
although the New York Herald styles it “the begin
ning of civil war in Illinois,” dees not therefore amount
to much in a military point of view. Bat the sppsi 1 io

Opposition in 11 nois. Three Luudrtd men could hardly
have boon found iu one neighborhood willing to incur
(he responsibilities of snob a step, ui l*ss they bad rea
sou to btlieve that they would be sustained by enough
others to make tie xfftir ecme'.hing mote than a mere
treasonable riot. Indeed, the latest inu licence from
the scene of the outbreak gives it an aspect more im
portant iban the firj.iud.citioos promised. It derives,
too, additional giarity from the fact ghat the locality is
somewhat north oC the region whtre disaffection is
known to be r fo.t It the insurgents hold together
they will be strODg'y reinforced from Southern Illinois,
and, if competed to retire, they will, doubtless, cboo:s
that dtreotion, and ga.ber strength as ihty fall back.
In this way, if Vuy couii do no mor^, thiy could prob
all/ save them* Ires, by escapmg.iuto our lines. But
the chief importance of the affair is the proof it affords
of » desperate and deadly hostility to the Washington
dynasty in one of the chief States of the Union, and of
the exhaustion of patience, and even prudence, emong
the people of tho Northwest. We have always felt
certain that that gnat divition of countiy would.be
driven finally to break loose from the Yankee Slates.
The time may be nearer at baud than we Lad hoped. ,
ASSESSMENT OF BANE SOARES.

Richmond, April 21, 1864. f
To the Editor of the Whig :
Rtfertiug to some editorial rcnuiks in jour paper of
th e rnoruit g in reference to tho Confederate Tax Bill
of 1864, 1 beg leavj, in accordance with j cur des.re
therein expresred, to state my authority for saying, iu
the instructions ol 1st of March, that bank abate.*, Ac.,
shall bf a sensed upon the basis of their market Value
ou the 1?.h day ot February, 186-1. Section G of the
ao: declares ‘‘that the taxis on propt rty laid lor the year
1864 sha 1 be assessed as ou the day of the passage ot the
act,” A:. The day of the passage of the act is the 17 h
Febrtuiy, 1864; therefore, by the express terms of the
law, the assessment must be made .ax on that day—that
Is, as it wcttld have bee n made on that day bad it been
practicable ac.ually to have d;ne ss. To assess shares
as on that diy, they mutt b* a.*t>e*aed upon the owner,
or person liable to the tax, owning or controlling them
on that day, and at the market value of the same in tne
neighborhood where assessed, in such currency as was
in geneial use there, Aj., at the time of assessment.
That time, I have shown, is declared by the law to be
17lh day of February, 1844.

A despatch from Cairo, tbe 25th saya:
Tbe enemy being reported in force near Union City,
Tenn., yesterday morning Gen. Braymen, with a lores
of 2,000 men and a battery of artillery, proceeded by
railroad to within six miles of Union Cfty, whtn tney
learned that Col. Hawkins, wi.b400of the 7lh Tennessee
Cavalry, had surrendered at 11 A. M t after repulsing
tbe rebels, who numbered about 2 OOO, three times.—
The men were all aimed aud equipped, and had rtcently
been paid for over a year's servisa. Tae enemy burned
what was combustible about the fortifications, and
marched < ff with their prisoners.
Gea. Brayman proposes the abandoument of such
outposts as Hickman and Union City, as they are of no
use to the Uaioniati, and of value at present to the
enemy as a means of obtaining supplies.

A Chicago deapatcb, of the 80tb, Bays:
A special despatch to the Tribune, dated Maitooo,
Coles county, Illinois, la t night, says (hat fourhnndred
men of tbe Fifty-fourth Illiuo s Regiment leave Charles
ton to-night to attack the Rebels, who are laid to be
three hundred strong, under the command of Sheriff
John S. O’Hair, at Gilliday’s Hills, ten miles norther t
of Charleston. A portion oi the Fifty-fourth Regiment
is at Mattoon, that place alto being threatened by tbe
Rebels from Shi by and Moultrie counties.
Two companies of the Invalid Corps, tn route ter
Spring field, have boen stopped at Oaarlsston for gar
rison dnty. Pickets are out ou all the roads. In the
fight of Monday, four of tbe F.fty-foarth and one Union
oit’ssn were killed, and Col. Mitchell and five priva’es
and two Union cltisine were wounded. Tao Rebels
were killed and Severs 1 wouuded.
[Chaileston is at the junotion of the Illinois Central
and Terre Haute and Alton Railroads ]
The New Yor^Mvening Poet, of the 90th, contains
the following account of the affair: *
A number of SeoeesionUte cams in town to attend
oonrt, with gur s concealed in their wsgone and armed
with pistols. Some soldier* in the Oonrt bouse yard
Vere drawn into an affray, and a general fight occurred,
Tbe County Sheriff sprang from the Judge's stand and
commenced firing a pistol at Union men. Major York,
of tbe F fty-fonrth Illinois regiment, was one of the
first victims.
Tko Union men, outnumbered at the Court-honee,
ran to tbe bouses and stores lor arms. They were fired
upon from the windows Ten or twelve wen wounded.
Ovlonel Mitchell, of ihs Fifty-fourth reelment, wss bad
ly wounded; Oliver Sales was kilted; James U.odrieh,
Wm Hart, T. 0. Jtff.wys, and several soldiers belong
ing to tbe Fifty-fcu-th, were wounded reverely. Toe
Fifty-fourth regiment arrived iu the afternoon, and
formed on the square. Ndsoa Wells, the man who
fired the first shot, was instantly k l!ed. John Cooper,
a prisoner, was shot while 'rriog to escape.
Colonel Mitchell, of the F.fty fourth, had a confer
ecoe with Hon. 0. B. Fioklln and Judge Conatable, who
were anxioui that steps should betaken to prevent a
further outbreak.
The Philadelphia Itquirer raya :
Tbe despatch above mentioned gives later intelli
gence, and it says that four hundred men of tbs Fifty
fourth regiment were to leave that night to attack tbs
rebels, said to be thrA hundred strong, at Gifliday’s
Mills, ten milea northeast of Charleston, and also that
a portion of tbe Fifty fourth were stationed at Mattoon,
which place, it is said, was threatened by the rebels
from Shelby and Moultrie counties. These counties
adjoin Coles on the west. This is an outcroppi-g of
rebel sympithy in that region of Illinois, but it will be
speedily crushed by the loyal people of tbe Stats The
Union soldiers know the remedy for that disease, wbich
is the prompt application of oold lead and oold steel,
and they mill soon make an end of any and every at
tempt to give aid and comfort to the rebel cause in
their own State. Fuithsr nows will be anxiously looked
for.
Thi Latkst.—A telegram dated Springfield, 30th
Maroh, says:
Colonel Oakes, Assistant Provost Marshal General,
started for Charleston last night, end telegraphed to
day for the 41 it regiment, wbich left this afternoon.—
Gen. Heioti’.eman bss also been requested to send ft,000
troops from Indianapolis. This indicates that the
troubles in that section are of a serious character.
ABPBAT III THB OHIO LB0I8LATUBB.
The Baltimore American eaya:
. “On Thursday last a Mr. Mayo, a Ocppefhead mem
ber of tbe Ohio Legulature, in a debate in that body,
said: “I would rather see this Government destroyed
than that one single press should be deprived of tbe
liberty of publishing what its e itors pleased.” Mr.
Free, a Union member, said that Mr. Mayo’s language
was an abuse of tbe liberty of the press, and none but
traitors spoak or endorse suoh sentiments, when Mayo
replied with some insulting epithets, and Mr. Free im
mediately oollared aod choked rhe Copperhead, who
was taken out of the House by bis friends. Mayo had
previously said that “all peraons and papers had a
right to speak treason, write treason and aot treason.”
- THB AVTA1B AT PADUCAH.
The rebel GeneAl Forres’, with s fotoa of five thou
sand men, made an attack upon Paduoab, Ksntuoky, on
tbe 20 :h inst, and succeeded in capturing it and des
troying a great portion of the city by fire. Tits Un'on
troops, only eight hundred strong, under Col. Hicks,
who occup ed tne foil below tho city, made a desperate
resistance, but without avail. Three ot our gunboats
immediately opened are on me city, tun uruvo out me
enemy af er their tempoiary conquest. The inhabi
tants, who bad left on the approach of the rebels, soon
returned, and tbs work of recoostruetug the burned
builuings was at onco commenced. Oar loss is said to
be twelve killed and forty wounded. F.om one hun
dred and fifty to three hundred rebels are reported
killed, amoDg them General Thompson. Twenty fiva
booses around the fort were destroyed by our troops,
is they were used by the rebel sharpibeoters as a screen.
The headq tarters and Government storehouses, how
ever, jwere burned by the enemy.
Olfieial despatches received by the Navy Department
up to Saturday night, state that the rebels havo re
treated. Previous to their departure a flag of truce
was sent in by them req testing an exchange of prison
ers, which was refosau. The rebel loss is said to be
threo hundred killed. Forrest’s force numbered six
thousand five huudred men, with four pieces of artil
