The bill contemplates an army of Cor rate officers, in the shape of Collec vastly expensive., infinitely annoying, i s Tioua -drawback OH the . army in tie. This, which, ia better times, would ci tute aa insuperable objection, may, we be oue cf the chief recommendations many gentlemen in the existing stat things. There is aa awful proneness ai; too many of our politicians to the Ta model at Washington. As the willow U w-Hter,so dd their hearts incline to that rupt system. With a view to avoid the wa*te and ruptiou uf this system, we publish the gestion of a correspondent, proposing that .States a-sume their respective portion: the tax, by exchanging their own bondi Confederate Treasury notes. We hope suggestion may receiveja*cu:-'x?'':A.m ?tin. il merit-;. ? - - .. . TAXS3 ASK TAXATtCY. To the FdUor of the Whig : Let such of the States aa prefer to do assume the payment of their proportioi part of the sum to be raised by the u dir tax bill. Let such States issue their fxi bearing, any five per eent. interest, the bo to bc paid at tho pleasure of tho State, these bonds lia exchanged by the. State Contederate States Treasury notes ; the efl wilt be to add much more to the value Treasury nott* than tbe collection of same sum by the hosts of officers, pro po to be created by the the tax bill ; for it i retire the same amount of Treasury nol and create a positive demand for them in market by so) rent purchasers. Hie effect will b? a saving to the peo] roany of whom are illy able to pay so la a tax. Thus, say'that the sum to be p by Virginia be twenty millions of dol?an the interest of that sum ia but one milliot at five per cent-a sum much easier pt tuan twenty millions. The credit" of i States will thus be brought much more efl tively in aid of the credit of the Confeden States than by endorsing the bouda, as p, posed by somo. But tho moat important feature will 1 that we get rid of the Confederate tax ga erer, and the" host cT Qcnifederatc t'Sec-ra pi lwscd by the bill.

Yet something of the sort waa laid on this side of the river wheu the Georgia Governor put bis embargo on salt-at a time when tbe ar ticle was greatly wanted amongst our people. Our brolhor of tho Chronicle must learn to Uk? things as they turn up, and not become indignant without examination of his ground. Gav.

This is all. And this is all we, on our part, have asked or will ever asl; (during the war) of'August*. r(,mo, let us not be un friendly. There is no ?xeuse for snappishness in the matter. The action of, our Governor is fair and debonair. Was tba actiem of-yeur Governor as much so in the matter of the salt?

Brown** Ate ??rag?-?State Endorse meut ot' Confed?rate Debt-Direct Taxation-and a Conon Carollary. Tho late message of tic v. Baowii, of Georgia ii an elaborate aud ingenious State paper. Thcr are portion? of it to which, public attention ough to be drawn in every part of tike Confederacy One of tbese is bl? argument against Stat? en doriement ?f ?he Confederate debt. . A lingi branch of thia argament io herewith copy entire It ls original aud forcible; and we ask tho read* to eonaider it closely. Says tho Governor : ' . At present almost every capitalise in tb?.coan try is tb? creditor of tba Confodora'i Government and is directly interested In maintaining itu ?xi? tone?, and sustaining ru credit J ?peak act o individuals, but capital ia generally selfiab, am eo.v rolled more by interest tban patriotism. Whet I HI have ascertained what will be the interest o capitalists we may gonerslly have but little dim cutty in determining what .will be their action. Suppose tb? whole debt of the Confederacy t have reached one billion of dollars, a? it probabl; will have done by tb? tim? the State? bare al acted upon thia proposition. It it not probabl that capitalists, as a matter of choice, would pre fer to credit our Government wirb a larger deb tbau tbis banging over it. Bat having airead; invested this ouwuious sum, if they tee! tbat tbei only bopu of paymeut rests upon tbe success ani permanent tstablisbmen1; of tho Confederacy, ani it becomes necessary lo Invest another billion ti establish tbe Government and avoid the loss o tbe sum already investid, interest will promp them lo stand by the Government ? ustaia it credit, and- make further advances if they havi means. Bul. suppose at tai? period, all the State indorse the wbolo dobt or each indersei Its pro p. ri iou of it, what effect will this have upon th miud ?f tbe capitalist f If prior to the act bi looked only to tbe Confederacy for payment,' an< having now obtained tt e legal, as well as mora obligation of the individual ?tate? to pay, he i satisfied that this securis the debt, his interest ii tbe permanent success nf tbe Confederacy eeasoi and he look? in future to the States fer payment If after this,, the old Union should be reconstruct ed, and the State? of our Confedoraey should re -turn, and bseoine members of it, the capitalist ii not left to luek to a Confederacy no longer in ex I? ton co, for payment, nor to rely on the moral ob ligation of the Slates, M asaume aud pay the debt bat be rests upon the solemu legal endorsement o the individual States, which would be as binding upon them, in one. Confederacy as. lo another Tbe'capitalists having thus obtained the solemc indorsement of the States, for a tam as large ai tuey could reasonably be expected to pay, would naturally desiro te prevent au increased-liability, on the part of their debtors, the States, wbicb would weaken their ability to pay, and might itt future, cau?o the people to throw off the who]? burden, on account of its accumulated weight j Knowing, in other word?, that it ii possible to in crease debt to au amount so onerous as to drive a ! people to repudiation, they might prefer to take their chances of payment et' one billion of dollars of Slate debt, in the old Confederacy, rather than of two billions in the new. Hence it would be their interest to oppose the appropriation of the the establishment of the Confederaey^'anoTfo"aifl voeato a reconstruction for the purpose of securing an early peace, and of stopping farther expendi ture that they may save what is already ewing to them. Bat the bare thought of any such reconstruc tion is abhorrent to the Governor's sentiments and he proceeds to say : The riven of blood wbkh hare been drawn from the veins of our father?, brothers, husbands, sons and other relativas by the baud of our cruel enemies, form an impassable gulf botwoen us and ?ur wicked invaders. How can wo again shuk<* bands with them c er the slain bodies of our loved ones, and ?gain embrace them in fraternal relations? Were Geo.*.<-ian? to r?o this, the blood of their brethren, who-b^v* fallon martyrs to our glorious cause, would cry to thcia from the ground, and rebuke tho dastardly deed. Sooner than re unite with thora now seeking to enslave us, and under the name o( Union with them, become, with our posterity, bewers of wood and drawers of .;a. ter for them, let us submit, with more than Roman firm?n?, to th? devastation ot' oar fields, and, If? need bo, the extermination of eur rare. Bat let us cfo no ans th*'lily? which, however patriotic tba motive, say fsnd to array a powerful ulass in our midst against tbe Confederate Government There is certainly a good deal of hard sens? in this plain, practical exposition ef the probable effect of State endorsement,-aird we confess that we begin to doubt lb? wisdom of that measure. It passed oar own Legislature a? a matter of sourse. It appeared right and patriotic on it? Tace, and was accepted without that close scrutiny which it should bare received. It may be, for wight we'know, an arrangement eor:?ected in tire l?verai States by the very Capitalists of whom io v. BROWS speaks. It is well, at any rate, to tonsider the question in the new aspect presented ly tbat distinguished patriot aucLstatesmaa.' The ?eorgia Legislature will; we trust, re-examine he matter thoroughly. Other Legislatures have ot canvassed the subject in all it? bearings. It ' s reserved for the practical men of Georgia to \ orrect tho error in policy if Mich rt be, and their | dion in tbe'premise? will be anxiously awaited. ' But lut us go on io consider Gov.

P I far as it now docs, there is no complete remedy j ? r the present ?Til?, of high prices rind rvdund- I tl it paper currency. Th-re is one remedy, und u liv one, which can mitigate th? evil, inspire mil lonee in the stability of the debi, and'induce' te e investment of .the surplus capital of people isl w her Governments, as well aa our own, in Cou. derate hoods. That remedy is taxation by Con cs, sufficient to pay the in tere, t upon tito who!? ht, in gold or ita equivalent, and to create an nual ?inking fund, ?uffirient to extinguish tb?

Th? government could certainly meet the responsibility thu? incurred, wiib coltan, i more readily and moro economically than bi any other way. .So far then os an assured sufficiency of broad-stuffs will allow, why nut allow the mod erate production of cotton io go forward ? Be it remembered that cotton is second .on'y to bread in eur great emergency. True ^wisdom would: seem therefore to dietote, that while we atikerrr . tain provision for the one, the other bo nut undu ly restrained by legislativ? enactment; It .is our unwavering belief that the present Colt?ndaw.will. meet, the difficulties of our position,- np} Gov.
