We agnio urge upon our planting friends the

of vegetables for their negroes. Them 1? not,
says the Columbus 7V,;i?r, by a large amount,
meat enough in tho Confederacy to allow full
ratioa? to thu army and people, negroes included.
Thc army must be fed, wc all kuow, and the
smoke hottec? of planters mu?t furni.m tho sub
sistonce. TIA meat ratiocs of the negro niu-t be
reduced to,nt Ibast two pounds per weofc. With
plenty of vegetables thie is sufficient, or will do
very well. Without that addition, tho negroes
will suffer. Let every planter, then, put in at
least a half aero iu oollardj tr every ten hands.
If be will manuro tho ground highly, that halt
acre will ba worth to him a thousand dollars or
more. Now is the time to plant them. Don't
mind cold weather. It won't hurt them. In t life o

Bil't-and what is .t$fi?r opinion of the same?.
OnrAwn is, and vre it?'"not singular in this re
spect; that our SenatoV? ?nd Representatives Liv*
dime their work hobiy,rtiiat they have acted like
men ami Sute-rmcn, lh?j|; th?y deserve the.pra?e?
and eonfidviice of tue country. And now if the

thc country. .Submit to tie law every mun must,
hut a hearty and ?calcas co;operation nita the
luws of the ccubjryrJr?l?dd much to tltelr weight
and eflicsey.
The Tax Bill is heavy ; not more so however
than was absolutely occeinary. The military Bill
makes an'entrenched camp of the- Confederacy
as it ought to have dona. . A cheerful submission
on the part sf th* people to theta strong mea.ures
will convince our enemies of the fully of their
caU-ulal?</U3, and show them tant wo aro fearfu?v
in PuiDtt'. in ibis struggle-that" we intend to
sp?.nd tlc !?tt dollar.iiid the last drep of Ui*d
i;i Uriving a brdtid Tjraht out of .our counliy
The lax ii heavy, and if will e: st us something to
pay it; but better so than submit to a base and
ferocious foe, who in hlspbreiuy, bas sworn to
baukrupt our property, d^^ch our . wive?, and
enslave our children. -If^tbcreforo the law re
quires you to go into thc, army, shoulder your
musket cheerfully, Uki* man, and marok-and
may God's protecting hand go with you. Better
m*el th* li ea dish foe upon the battle field and
slay him there. Otherwise yon will soon have
the wolf at your door ; and must then battle with
him .-ingle handed.
Let those who are disposed to despond remem
ber that this is probably the last wnr tsx wc shall
.be called upon to pay. .These mca-ures will put
us In a stronger.position than wc have, yet occu
pied, and whon thc oncmy secs that we arc resolved
and aldo tb carryon this wrr foran indefinite
peri..J, he will be broughHq a state of sanity.
Tho Currcucy Bill wo think has boin wisely
conceived. Wo aro especially pleased with the tax
of 33] per cent, on Treasury notes. It is undoubt
edly the ouly avuilable way of getting rid of a
curroncy that was pressing us to death. This tax
will fall just whore it ought to fall, up;n those
who have, been making mendy during this wnr.
It w?U not touch a soldier or a toldier's family;
and M hile they are defending our properly with
their blood, thc least the citizen can do ls to sup
pert the soldier with hi? mercy. It is sometimes
objected to us a forped loan ;" if so, it is bor
rowed.from those who^are quite abie to lend. But
the troth is that uo one can bu injured by this
tar ; the ?5* cents left after paying the tax, will
he worth as niauh RS tho entire dollar now is. -In
.?titer words sixty six conts after dbe first of April,
will buy ai much cern, er bacon, or homespun,
las a dollar will to.-d.ny. Tho Eleven Dollars paid
the soldier will, after April, be worth something,
and, together with tho provisions furnished hy
tho Boards of Relief, will, we think, furnish a
comfortable support for (be soldier's' family. A*d
it is in reference to tho support 'of the Army, wc
confess, that wo view every suljtct. With the
Aruiy clothed and fed, and their familias takeu
cure of, wc have nothing to fear.

For the Advertiser.
Thc Army and the People.
, lu every coated of a people for frcodom, thc
struggle, though oftentimes brilliant, is brief, un
ley? conducted by well organised and-discipliaed'
fore?*. Tibe spatmedie o?urt? uf the people rartly
succeed in (renting moro than a temporary ob
struction to an armed force whioh is hurl'.digalnst
its barriers. This tact ?eems well aulhenticMed
by historians and military writers. In a w&rd,
the independence of a country ia won b; its r. rmy
niau*. If this lu trui,ls it nut theulho duty of the
pooplc, if they expect success and desire indepen
dence, to contribute iu ?very possible Vay tc the
SN ti M? tu SM', 'Irenijih, and r.flicivncy pf thfcir armies
iu tho field '! And if this bo their duty, in \, hat
way have the people disuhargod it? Have they
co-operated in placing in the ranks every able
bodied man, who could bc more serviceable in thc
feld, than at Acme ? Have they encouraged their
friends, and relations to seek? tho camp, rather
thau the drtiiJt-the Helmet rathor than thejjsf
tieoat : Have they represented ta the young
men, shrieking from their duly to Ike country,
the disgracoMvkicb txttdohes to thiir name, by cex
doct equivalent to desertion .'^Jlavo they inquired
of the t?.le bodied meu, strolling aVout our street;,
why they arc not in tho Army ? And htvvo they
reported to tho Knrollii.g ot?eer.'?, ail persons sub
ject to conscription, and required him to enroll
thoa forthwith? Wo fear that in general they
have nut done any of the-** things.
Catt your ?yrs along the streets, nnd you will
see rai nf, who ought to be with their brethren iu
thc field, day after dsy>^loafiing away existence,
in e'iumrful and dishonorable idleness. Mon who
have fattened upon the blood of their follow, men,
guily ci joying life in the midst of a community,
whose morality they blnnt and endanger hy asso
ciation. Meu who carry ia their packets tXgvi
certificates of appointments, obtained by the j
bribery and corruption of some degraded creature
who pretends to hive position in the army. Men
who assume to act hy virtus of foryed or pur
chaud appointment*, and who thoald be instantly
arrested as guilty of or insliyatori, to the crime e/|
/?iryery. These ure some of the ease?, which dai
ly mott the popular eye, and which arc as often
unnoticed. Can it be said then that tho pcupU
aro doing their duty ? Can it be said that they
are co-operating with their brethren in the field ?
C'jiMt be said that men in Inte village, have not
actually refined to assist, in sending men into (he
army, who were liable to conscription ?
The Army chould know, who aro its friends,
and tho frieuds of tee country. It should mark
for proscription, thc men who skulk front the servie
of tho country-the men whu have boen making
mtfhey in this wari and refuu to uttiet the milita
ry authorities in placing cuiitcript* in the service,
when applied lo by patriotic and gallant ejjiceri
of thc army. We expect our sabliers under diffi
cu'ties to perform miracles. In the enjoyment of j
good ealing and drinking our enthuria>m and
patriotism U at fever beat. Ia ccmrortable apart

Nefrro Parties.
Mn. EriTOB-Tn th?so times of scarcity and
depredations upon meat houses, it is certainly thc
duty of those who remain at home to see toit
that-negro parties are broken up. There is scarce
ly,* week without one or more of those par tic? in
the Village orits vicinity ; ond in most pl?ees they
seem to he conducted without thc presence of
white persons, c r at all evonts of white men, and
\vhilo many white families are destitute of tho
essentials of lifo, these parties arc supplied with
oven the luxuries. Now thc question arises, from
what socrco como these supplies ? My only object
is to call attention to these patties and to hopo
they muy le discontinued in the future, except
whero white men are in attendance. As to these
parties in tho Village, we call tipcn the Town
Council, aud hold them *e2punsible as tho guardi
ans of our people. A CITIZEN.

Tho latest intelligence from tho front of
Dalton reports the enemy fortifying ut Rirg
gold Gap.
Our Cavalry advance is beyond Tunnel!
Uitl. There is nothing stirring on either
Rank, and perfect tranquility reigns at Dalton
and in thc surrounding encampment?.
Thc telegraphic lutes bsve bceH retstab

ruh through to that point-perhaps within thc
next twenty-four hour:?.
The spirit of tho aiiny MU?C the-repulse.of
the enemy at Mill Creek Gap is unexampled
in any provious campaign, for ?onfideuce in
themselves and in 1 heir comtnandcr-in chief.
The men are chen lui and contented, bca!;hy,
full of lire, and eager far an advance over the
border. Shoos bay? been issued to nearly all
the commands, iud tho Army g?:.erai!y lt
supplied with boni for table clothing acd -jocd
?helier.
At present there is no indications of au
advance movement by cither anny, but stir
ring times may be anticipated in the neigh
borhood of Chattanooga before the s-pring is
over.
Thc rumor that tie enemy is fortify lng
Ringgold Gap is premature. They have
merely thrown up some temporary breast
works orr Taylor's; Ridge.
The Federal loos is ?ow* ascertained to be
