On Friday night last, at the dread hour of midnight, the sleeping citizens of the vicinity of Chappell's Depot were aroused by their terrified domestics, and informed that the Yankees were at their doors. Three hundred truculent and bloodthirsty Hessians, "full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard," hadji I ready reached Fellowship Church and bumed that sacred edi fice; three hundred were busily engaged in knocking Ninety-Six into a cocked bat; while three hundred more ir ere marching'doifn through laurent with fire and sword. Fearful was tho alarm, and wild the excitement. The ladies rose, and hastily seep ring their silver apd jewelry, entered their carriages and were driven oh" fran tically. There are many unprotected females in that neighborhood, and we imagine they were emphatically "on the rampage." But let.us make a long story ?hort. There was not a Yan kee nearer to them than Edgefield Jail. A Sheriff's persse of three men attempted to arrest certain negroes In the vicinity that had been with held by their mastefs from Coast labor.' Thc nogrocs fled in dismay, reporting tho presence of three bundled Yankees.

B we opine that it would prove rather an unprofit bio business to suo the Confedera' Govornm? fer one thousand million dollars. It might tnt ont a nu /'a ?ona cast. While thea tho Secreta: *i*f the Treasury is the" ostensible drawer of the notes, he is in point of fact but the .agent of Company. The Principal, the retpoutible part fur tfi?so notes, it the people of tho Confedera States. If these notes "are overpaid they mu be*paid by the people of tho Confederacy., It would be well then for the Planter and Mani facturer to understand now that when he is sel lng his goods for Treasury notes, bo is selling ft bia own paper.

Hec?o. the exaot amount c promissory notes issued by the Trearater, wi! be the amount of the debt which, the people wi] have to pay at tko end of-this var. Kow th amount of that debt will depend upon' the ooato the war ; and this cost will depend upon the prie that Government baa te pay for proriiiona ant clothca to supply the Army. * Hence it is self-cvitje nt thatir the Plantor ant Manufacturer require theJleverSament to pay $1 instead of $1 for food and .clothing to suppl y th< I Army, they will hcv* m. debt 'or five iastoad ol nae to pay at the ead of the war. Instead ol accumulating a national debt annually of ont million,* they are.in faot waking a debt of five million. The" question recurs; who is to be benefited by tba operation ? The answer is plain ; the people generally must be injure:. The debt at the end of the war wtlh bc paid, or it will not- fake either alternativ.- youth mk most probable' If the debt is paid, .who u to pay it? The people of the Confederacy; ibero is no other supposition petcfble. Hon id this to be dene ? These Treasury notes must be fnndeo ; the Government will issue bonds for tho amount and ci ubi isa a national debt. Tho interest upon t^eso bonds must be ptiJ. annually-and the money te pay this inter?s; be collectedby.taxing tba people. Now if Plantera and- Manaftrctorers ' continue to fjamapd front the .Government tee present enormous prices for bread and cloth, at the end ef- thia war tho national debt will amount to some l-?-or S thousand million dollars; the debt is already one thousand million. -' If th? nit; in de tern: jue* to p av the debt, whiok in honesty, it is pound to do, thea tho papple will be hardened with an amount of taxation greater thauanypeople ever greaced^undor. Thus the men who now think that they are growing rich by extorting from the Gevernmtnt- will- finally be forced to disgorge their ill gotten cain?-and that in geld and silver. But let ut take the other a! tomat ire-th at the debt will not be paid. We repudiate ; what then 7. Upon whem will the loss fall? Certainly npon the holders of Tr eas a ry notes.
