FUND Yoca NOTSS.-On the 22ud instint,
all the Ondedemte Treasury not?s, dan d pri
or to December 21 1802, will ce?ve tod*
fundable in eight per cent, bonds, bnt ?til
he fumhible until the lat of Augunt in seven
per ceut. bonds. To facilitate the funding ol
these cotes, the Secretary of the Treasury
bu<i established depositaries in the principal
cities ?aid towns of each State in the Confed
eracy. The'Richmond ir^t^Bays: The in
ducement to fund in eight per cent, bonds be
fore the Tl? of this month, when the privi
lege ceases, is that, the holder of Confederate
bonds will be exempt from taxation to the
amount of the bonds so held. A bond which
yields eight per cent, interest in. of course,
batter than one which yields only s?ven per
cent., and thone who now invest in eight per
cents will, doubtless, have an opportunity,
ere long, of selling their bondB at a premium.
Eight per cent, bonds of the hundred million
loan, long dates, ure already selling at a pre
ruiutn oi five per cent., and when this premi
um advances to eight or ten per cent., the
bonds now issued, bearing eignt per cent,
will alto command a premium in the new cur
rency.
Hired a Substitute to 8tay Behind.
We have heard of many cases of men lia
ble to conscription hiring substitutes to take
their places in the rank?; but the instaoce
reported below is uncommon and noteworthy.
Tue young volunteer who hired a substitute
t LI .-tay bell ind with the ordnance wagon,, while
be hastened to take part in the fight, was
Seaborn Williams, ol' Trsgegee, AJa., a verv
inoorst and rc iring but courageous youth, of
Jess than eighteen years, who was killed in
the great fight near. Murfrecsboro. The ac
cviiirrt which we copy is from a letter from the
Captain ol his company, which formed part
of the 45th Alabama Regiment. Capt Aber
crombie writes :
M The day before the fight, I received an
order to detail a man to stay with the ord
nance train, to bring up ammunition when it
was needed to the company. I detailed Sea
horn. I noticed that he left his pince in line
very reluctantly, and went back to the train.
Farly next morning. I baw him again, with
bia gua, in line. I went up to him and abk
ed him why he was there. Ile replied, ' I
have hict-d au- thar man to star behind with
the wagon, and if you will let me I prefer to
be with thu company in the fight to-day.' Un
willing to mortify bim, 1 consented to Lis
stay. ?*#?#?
He was conspicuous for his almost reckless
oaring and courage, and though immediately
fronting the enemy's artillery, which was but
a few yards from us and wes sweeping lanes
through our ranks, Le boldly aud fearlessly
pressed straight forward, while some others
would attempt to seek some shelter from the
intervening trees. His'arm seemed to be the
mat to plant a victorious banner upon the
enemy's artillery. 1 had watched him for
A-.me moments with feelings or pride, which
s H n M lengthened into the highest admiration
fir auch a display of undaunted courage. But '
?ic was too conr-picuous a mark to pa?s un- i
*eitfbed through the shower of balls tnd can
nier that the enemy was raining upon ur, J '
id just as the enemy was giving way, a
? ital ball entered his bowels aud passed ' ,
tiirougb them. He fell, but looking up from ;
me spi-t contecrated by a brave soldier's fall, t,
bo saw the enemy flying in dismay and his !
< i-mrades in hot pursuit to avenge his fall." j '

This body adjourned tn Friday eveting las;
aller a week's .v.isu-n which was mttriied by veij
dttle o' tu-srit.
The production of Cotton was further liinrei
to oue nero to th? hand. Whether this limitaiiol
applies to those who have already planted, dil
not seem tu be very clear to the friends of tb
measure. A prominent Senator and ? bio lawye:
?ho voted for tho bill was beard to drep th? opin
ion that such application c??u'd not be very easib
enforced. At any rate ht? remarked that he woult
readily uk a a casu of the kind and ?ietend i
should one come iii bis way. We .bink it ie tin
spirit if not the letter of tb? law that lil? limita
:ion ortend to all alike. But we wit] give ih
Act next week and let every man judge for him
leif. It is doubtful legislation, but as il has beet
ad?pt>d it is light to try it fairly.

-not.-. dr;?> of i:-and thc Senator was b it in
m'nxrify of three. A I'Uti.ber favored :Lfj Oiil

that could not he allowed because renie ono uv?
in Lexington had been mixing corn meal with i

lt was sought to increase the fine upon person
foiling to ?end hands to the coast forti?c4tions
First they tried five dollars, that would not gi
d 'Wn ;-next they tried two, that failed also ; ac
t ie fin? rem?ins ns it was, except that it is nor
c dlcctable by the Commissioners of hoads in 1
more rogular manner than was before provided
The names of all who do not ?e?>d huudt are li
be reported to the Courts of Common Pleas
When a man has but ono hand liable to thia duty
that band is now entiroly exempt
Some littlo else was done, and lometh'ny ?cf
undone which (we fear) bas made the session o:
Aprl 1S63 a mest unlucky one. What we allu^i
to will of course be known te every prick-earec
Shylock in the State, and there can be no harn
done by mentioning il hore. It wus the rejeeti-'-r
by the Senate of Urn. UAKLI.IUTOK'S Resolution
dtnouncing as wanting in patriotism all personi
who, by rofusing Conioderate currency in the pay
ment cf debts, were acting so as to dopreciatt
that earrency. These aro not the exact words bul
the idea is correctly put. We mako no comment.
Taking it all in all, we think it would bavt
boen bettor if the Legislature bad not been called
together. The Governor thought differently and
we nttor no word of dissatisfaction In ihut dic
tion. He was iuflue&erd by considerations d
public duty which would not permit him to rest
satisfied. Put there is danger in this accumula
tion of legislation. If we ar? to meot all difficul
ties, tbe Legislature would have to come together
almoct every month. In doing so. active and am
bitious minds aro very apt to originate new bon
ners much of which may nut be realty demanded
by the necessities of our position but on Ibo con
trary m.-.y le fraught with confusion and positive
error.
Gen. Hampton and his Men.
It may n?t bo known to somo of our readers
that Gen. WAPE HAMPTOS bas obtained permis
sion from the War Department to carry such of
his men as are now on furlough io tije defence of
Charleston. Thu is a nobio step on the part of
this heroic ' (Ticer, snd hus been responded to by
his men with teal and delight. Col. M. C. BUT
LBB has joined hil chief and will participate" in
tho commnnd of tho corps. Other officers bare
hastened to tho summons, and we suppose tko
Company thus formed wid number nearly two
hundred men. Coming f/om Columbia on Satur
day last, we met tiotne seventy or eighty brnvo
Georgians of this command returning with fresh
horses to Virginia. Up?m being informed that
they were called to Charleston, overy face was
lit up with a glocm of pleasure. Ono who seemed
to be an officer remarked: "I hor>? we can do
good fighting for the csuse it, Virginia, but f k-.n-te
we can in South Carolina." W0 announced the
call to tho various sqcad* as wo met them for
miles, and cculd plninly soo a stern s-ilit-hcdon in
every count? nance. It was grsli'yit.g to nitt'css
such a manifestation by our nohle krothers of tho
Ktopiro Stato, nud we were lod by th? incident to
realize that unselfnb devotion to our common
cause which goes sa far towards giving our arms
invincibility. We could cosily ree another indi,
s-ition in tho bearing of those war-worn ve'orane., ?
?nd it was that the rery name of UAMPTO.V was
music to their ears. Such a commander with
.nea follower? will ena-t another ThermopyJ? if

Whereas, our attention hai been culled by the

the expedicftey of restricting tho ensuing cotton

making cannot ge en without the raw material,
and we propose to address ourselves to the farm

Mr. EDITOR : You will permit me to inform your

from tho ISth e'- C. V., har produeod in the minda
of those who do not comprehend. When collect

of thc subscribers to different Regiment!, I sent
a lilt to the lWth Regiment te Lieut Col. Slaw,
and BS.rr.oc artielei and things rent to different
plaees-and tboie sent by Lamar Aid Association
woro nut returned to the proper parties. It should
kare boen Ham! g, not Beeeh Island. Capt.

thanking .A and the Society through her for the

of the Society. It il trae I eolkotcd the large

Society made up the carpot blankets and the cloth
which was collected also. I do not wiih te rob
any one of honor? or merit duo them.
The ladici here deserve mach praise for the

GOT. Brown and Our Public Debt.
MR. EDITOR :-There is an error of considerable
magnitude in Gov. BROWN'S Meisago, or that por
tion of it quoted by you in your paper of a late
if nie. Allusion is made several times to our debt
ns a "billion" of dollars. Our debt can never
reach (hat sum, though the war should continue
fifty yean. Ten thousand million is not a billion
ai Gov. B. would seem to indicate, bnt it takes
one hundred thousand millions to make ono bil.
lion. There is perhaps hot io much money in all
the world. On enumerating, we say millions*
tens of millions, hundred? of millions. Now it is
not billions as many suppose, but its thousands
millions, tens thousands millions, hundreds thou
sands millions. Our public debt is large enough
in all conscience. Let us nut unnesiarily exag?r
ate the amount. COLBOURN.
If a mun were to 1 vio one hundred years and

?alf that sum.

A Had Fashion.
Man is pre-eminently an imitative creature.
Perhaps it is well that he ia so, or else-there
might bc no progress of improvement among
thc m.-.sses. But somehow human uature is
such that we are dure prone to imitate what
ia bad or indifferent, than that which is ex
cellent. .It would bs cun'ous, if not instruc
tive, to recount the many bad habits and fool
ish and pernicious fashions which our peupla
hare taken, by inoculation aa it were, from
former association wita the Yankees. And
it is a little strange, too, that, notwithstand
ing the war has made us all nate and despise
tbe Yankee nation, we have still held un to
many ul the vile things fur which we were
indebted to them. Eow easy it is for mon
who ure but children of a larger growth-to
tV.il away into bad practices, but how difficult
to renounce them.
We shall not enumerate the many bad bab
ita we have derived from the Yankees, but
only mention une, which never eame much in
vogue which we hoped had entirely died out,
but which t-eems just now springing into new
use-and that is the custom of publicly ad
vertising fur a husband or s. wife. Wc know
not where or how thc iashion originated, but
it must have been set by the l ree-lo vs Yan
kees ; it was certainly very common among
them, or is still. Confederate newspapers
are beginning to show such advertisements,
in anticipation of the close of- the war,,, and
we regret that they come generally irom the
soldiers, the very last persons who should fol
low Yttikee fashions, and particularly such a
detestable one as this. It iu incomprehensi
ble what sort of an idea a parson eau have of
marriage, who hawks himself or hsmelf about
iu this public msuncr, seeking a market.
There may br. exception*, but generally such
an advertisement for husband or wife, as il
the advertiser wanted something of the na
ture of a-burse, or a dog, or a slave, ebouid
b-j held un prima Jade evidence that the ad
vertisar ha? no conception uf what consti
tu? ea husband or wife, ind is totally unfit for
tither relation. We hope the vile practice
may be nipped in the bud, that the thought
\K?3 will give it attention enough to fie? bow
ioaitmoinr it in, ?lid tbot the reckless, who re
spect not Ih&nsemt, may come to respect
oom mou decency*) ano ?eave such abomina
tions where they properly belong, with the

-? _o- ?
Thc 1'ress.
Nothing can be more absurd and disgust
ing than the lordly cou tempt occasionally af
fected by >ome politicians fur the neWi-paper
press. The Press is a power in every .State
- a power scarcely second in constitutional
Governments tu that of thc throne itself.
The London JVmes wields an influence in
Christendom such as no single statesman of
this age exerts. The Press uf the South has
heeu thc life and breath of this Revolution,
it may have committed errors in ibo begin
ning of tho war, but those are attributable tu
the novelty of a slate of things which led oth
ers into errors besides th* Preen. With these
exceptions, it is impossible lo over-estimate
the impetus which ttl?) ?'iouthcrn movement
has derived from the Pres?.. It has aroused
tho patriutism, encouraged the hopes, nerved
thc hearts, and strengthened the arms uf the
people of the South throughout this contest,
it. has pointed out daDgers to be avoided,
called attention to tho necessity of economy
and retrenchment, stimulated the agricultural
interests, and denounced abuses in the ad
ministration of affairs with unsparing fidelity
and boldness. . Ten thousand ?uch politi
cians as undertake to denounce this power
ful organ of public sentiment could not ac
complish as much for the pub'ic interest as a
single press. Thc Press has no motive to be
utherwise than just and honest. The public
interests are it* interests. But the interests
of politicians do not always harmonize with
those uf the people. Their peraonal eleva
vatiou, not the public good, is the object uf
their lives, and if necessary, the public will
have to give way to self. What hann have
not politicians done to humau society I They
have corrupted t?e people, sacrificed princi
ple and honor, and lighted the Usmc ol war
itself for the purpoi ? uf advancing their am
bitious projects. jCy will ruin our own
couuiry, if they are permitted to attain as
cendancy iu her council, which they can nev
er do lill they have muzzled the Press.

NARY A PRAYER.-There i.'. a rule at Ober
lin College that no student shall board at
any bouse where prayers are not regularly
mado each day. A certain man fitted up a
boarding house, and filled it wi tu boarders,
btu forgot until the eleventh hour the p ray tr
proviso. Not being a praying tuan hitnaclt,
be looked around for one who was. At length
he found oue, a meek young man fn?ui Trum
bull county, who agreed to pay his board in
praying. For a while all went on smooth, but
the boarding master furnished his table -to
poorly that the boarders began to grumble
and to leave, at}d the other morning the pray
ing boarder actually "struck." Soruetning
like th? following dialogue occurred at thu
table:
Landlord-" Will you pray Mr. Mild ?"
MUd-? No, sir, I will not."
Landlord-" Why not, Mr. Mild ?"
Mild-"It don't pay, sir. I can't pray on
such victuals as these, and unless you bind
yourself in Writing to set a better table than
you have done for the last three weeks, nary
another prayer du you get out of me I"
And that's the way matters stood at lost
advices.

In all thc relations of life he performed well his

his passed sins and showed that Le was sorry for
