Bat what sra tl? facts to Justify tba passage < the Cotton Act '! Toe people of the Cnufederat ?tates are engaged in a strnsgte for their ind? pendeneo. a struggle wbieb demands all thri powers and enorgies. To maintain this strngirl entire white male population of tbe Confederat Slates, between the ages of eighteen aud fort years, is under arms in tb? tented field. A larg proportion of the men who are in the field fight in.g nobly ar d heroically for Southern indopei deuce, iu times of peace and quiet are the labe rars of tb? country. They have their families an their households, comprising a very large propoi tioti of the population of the Confederate State: Many of them are not slaveholder*. Tn ordin?r times they support themselves and their fa mi'ic by their own babor. Their labor being maia! directed to tue production of the prime ue^esnarlc of life, in time? of peace adds vastly to the actu al amount of provisions in tba. country, and i ?ne of the chief, sources from which the sui ph provisions flows. Thia oUss of labor i? ?Jinoi entirely withdrawn from agricultural pursuits, an instead ol feeding themselves and thoir famille as they are accustom od to do, they and their fan dies must bo fed from other sources. Let no or conclude that the amount of provisions from tb quarter is inconsiderable, because the amour prodnced by eaeb ono is small. The aggregai products of tb:? class of our people is large, an when lost to the country and foroed to be mad ap frota other sources must be seriously felt. An to one who is foroed to look at things as they ar and who cannot avoid the responsibilities restio apon him .as sr legislator, and whose duty it ia I meet the contingencies of these trying time fairly and firmly, whb a doa regard to th? ri-a of all partie. ; ia a consideration of startling in porlai.ee. . ' The quoirtion of adequate supplies is one of v tal Importance. It ?ic.? at the bottom of all otb? m?reoen's. and without supplies all other mon meats mutt terminate aud ocaso. Tba randal fe who Li eee.lring oar utter detraction bis been an is now calculating; upon our failure to work ot oar Independeaea.beeauae they expect to starves oat.

It in gravely oontendod by the opponents c the Cotton Aa? that there ia an abundant suppl; of provisions in tbe country to feed our armies ii tbe field and for home consumption. i"ut thia as sertion is male in tba faco of the- startling fae that our armies have been previous to tbe first c April, end are now; on half ratiena.

Tbe bet ? vide no? of plenty and abundance of any eom t?odity is tbe quantity in tbe .market at fair am reasonable prioes.

It is this: From the very nature of things there most and will be (treat waste and destruction of provisions in ?or armies, ^ remiting in some instances from the carelessness I ana neglect had incompetency of agents; and in J: ol her instances to the -unavoidable stress-ef cir I ru tu s tau cf s necessarily incident to themovements j ef largo armies. - And what might be an ample I supply of the necessaries of life under a peace es tablishment w-uld, tn times like these, be very inadequate. - There i* still antjfer consideration not unim portant in itself. It is this : It is estimated that there are^aboet four inillioU'bales nf Cotton now in rho Confed?rale States-that would go to mar ket if the blockade were raised, which, added to the rr p of the present year, will be amply i-uffi e:?r.t -,c etiiptoy all tho machinery of Europe for one year, and it h reasonable that the 'Cotton now on. h ind could be sold fur much hinter prices, than could be realised from it if the quantity should bo largely it created. So that it is not un likely that the producer will receive very nearly, if not quite as muoh money, for the Cotton he noa has, ?? he wi-uld rueeive if he were allowed to ' j lacrease largely tho supply by the crop of this year. It is contended hy seme that we must raise Cot ton in order that European nations may' feel an interest in the Confederate States; clinging to the idea which has been su fatal to ns, that " Cot ton is Kin<," they would b?iord ul] at borne to prodnee an article, which is not necessary at present in order to bribe England and Prance to interfere iii our behalf.-The conduct of these na tions for the last two years should lie a warning to us for the future. If we read. the. history ot tu e pu.it y-cars bf our struggle for independence^, to profit, we ?ill cease to calculate upou any in terference of England and France in our behalf. We must tako care of ourselves, and when we shall have worktd out our independence without any foreign aid we will prize our liberties but the m ire, and we eau then outer upon our caroer as wo please, being under obJigaliofls to no one, with the means iu our own hand? to oontroll the cou. carree of the world, not fearing that Wo cannot maintain our position among the nations of the carib. But we have not yet achieved our inde pendence; our armies are yet in the field, bearing bravely and nobly all the hardships and privations incident to tba life of the soldier. They are there uul because they choose to bo there, but thoy are ibero by compulsion. They are not growing rich a* many at home Are. They receive eleven dol lars per month and no more, while many at bone are making fortunes: Their families they are '* j compelled to leave behind to be aapportod and * \ cared for by the State.

Ho ?ho would hasard the success of our ttrugglo fur independence for the sako of making money is wanting in patriotism. I believe thc people are fight in their sentiment, and that they will cheer fully acquiesce in any sacrifice which the exigencies of tho times may require. Thus, Fellow-citizens, I hare endoayorcd to state soins of the considerations that influenced my vote on the billa restricting the planting of - j Cotton. - I believed when the matter waa under 18 j consideration that the measure was right, and I ? j have not changed my opinion.

Awong the prisoners brought up by the Hag uf true? boat, CD last Monday, were some from the West,' who have been confined at Camp Douglae, at Chicago. The very, sight of the puor fellows is enough to strike pity to the heart. We wish the Government could bear their tales of suffering and distress, and we hope-that they will take some step to Jay their grievances before thc authorities here. Camp Douglas is worse than the Hole of Calcutta. Nut satisfied with putting oar men to death by suffering and torture, thc Yankee demons have taken to poisoning than ! The little things such aa naas and cakes, that our poor prisoner* would buy out of their few re maining cents, bad killed a number of our men, and un on investigation being ordered and the food analyzed, poison was plainly detected, and its presence admitted by.the Yankee surgeon ! The authorities tried to exculpate themselves by laying it to an old Irish woman who was permitted to peddle cakes among the prisoners. -Tba death ut our meu at Camp Douglaa has been appalling. Oi.e of oar prisoners es timales that in the short space ol three months there were over seven hundred and fifty death1*. This, was caused by a combination of causes,-the low. wet and marshy situation of the camp,, being half in water ; the filth and vermin of the place, and the long and desolate confinement of oar men. In fact, some of tha prisoner* who came up by the last flag of trj?rje bad languished there for nearly two yean, and their dejected, sorrow stricken and emaciated faca* bore testimony of more than all tbov told of their suffering. The suffering to wbich our brave man have been subjected-by the-demons is enough tn melt the heart to to irs, {gran in the cold winter, when our prisoner*- were talton, there from the West,-in midwinter-they were thrown,into prison with nothing more than a pallet of wet straw as a bed, and without a particle of clothing to protect them from the cold and piercing blasts ; aad one who knows anything uf Western Jife knows how feaffully they sweep over the prairies. In all the cold our men lay exposed to the atorm-cold, and shivering, and benumbed. A ?old BROW storm came, and tha result was that twenty-fiye or thirty of our men actually froze to death: We have this on reliable authority, and the ?tory, is ?ijbstautially confirmed, iu every particu lar, hy an account which we published some time since from the Chicago.Times, * .' On their way from the West, our prisoners were still oij-cts of persecution anii.raaligni ty of the Yankees, and were made to travel two live long days without a morsel of food I They left.at Camp Douglaa about two thou sand prisoners, who were to be exchanged, I and were leaving io bodieB of four and . five [ hundred.

They teemed to us altogether right and proper, and wt voted for them gladly. They were bowover kill ed in the Senate by the rejection of the 3rd ol the series ; the mover then withdrew the whole of them. We submit to the people of the State that they may well consider tho matter in theil primary assemblies. Wo submit to the aoldien of the State that they also might with effect give utterance to thoir sentiments in the premises. Wc are persuaded that (he voice of tho people wjll be almost a unit in favor of the entire Resolu tions ; and that voice should now be outtpeken. Tbe Legislature may moet again before long-nc one knows-and by the time it does moot thc popular branch should ascertain and carry oui the will of the peoplo on this important aubjeet The Senate tbon will soarcoly opposo that ex pression of sentiment on a question like this. The loll.wing districts voted for the resolutions, vis : Union, Newberry, Lancaster, Orangeburg, Pickens, Chester, Tork, Spartanburg, Fairfield, Edgefield, Greenville, Marion, and St. Paul'i Parish. It will thus be seen that the up-country went almost in a body fer tba resolutions. The senators from Andorson and Abbeville were ab sent, and there is a vacancy in Laurena. Other wise we believe the resolutions would have been easily passed. Aa it was, it will be seen that senators representing tbp bulk of the people went for t hem, but were defeated'by those repre senting a minority. We therefore say, it ia not an expression of sentiment which the State will countenance ; and we trust there will be an out burst of copular opinion, especially in Charlea j ton ead Columbia, despite the contrary influea ces of money-dealers and timid capitalista. But to the resolutions : Resolved, I. That the success of the Confede rate Staten of America, in the war now waged against tb sir rights aud liberties, and the estab lishment o' their independence on a aura and per manent foundation, sire intimately connected with the measures that may be adopted to sustain their oredit Meeolved, 2. That in the opinion of this Gen eral Assembly the ab lity of the Confederate Gov ernment to redeem, ultimately, all its debts and obligations, depends solely upon tho solution of the question of the Independence ef these States, which can now ii? longer be regarded a doubtful issue, if tin people remain true to themselves, and steadfastly adhere to the great principles for the maintenance of which' they ' ?javo 'pledged them?i?1ve?, their li vos, their fortune?, and' their sacred honer. Jfeeolved, 3. That any attempt to depreciate the currency of the Confpdprato Statps by refusing the same in payment of dobta, or by any other means, while it exhibits a want of .patriotism and fidelity to the cause in which we aro engaged, has a direct tendency to imperil the liber tic.? and independence of these States, and should be dii oountanced by all good and true citizens. Resolved, 4. That it is the duty of th* States of the Confe ie.rs.cy, acting in their own sovereign sphere, to ac]opt all constitutional measures which will have tho cflout to sustain the credit, of the Confederate Government, abd to proyide against tho deprecia) ion of its currency. Resolved, i. That it be referred to the Com mittee on thc Judiciary to inquire and report as to the constitutionality and expediency of .an Act to authorise and compel all public officers of this State, charged with the reoeipt of .monovs, eithor for the Slato or 'udirLdp^togyqige the Treasury Notes of the Confoderatav State? when tendered; and, also, to compel creditor*to receive ?aid note? in payment of debts, when tendered, on the penalty for refusing, of being debarred from collecting tbo interest which may thereafter accrue on ?uo'i debt, and, also, frota bringing suit in any of the Courts of this State for the col? ieution of the lame, within two years after a rat ification of peitoe between the Confederate State? and the United State?.

Pres dent Davis says tho army has an abundanco i bread. The Georgia Legislature rejected tl proposed limitation on cotton the other day by lurge majority, because upon comparing nob they found that this hue and cry of famine hs originated in the towns and villages where thc wanted corn (already the cheapest commodity i market) to become still cheaper, aad that, in pnii of fact, Georgia already held more corn tbs there was transportation for. They therefoi hootod the cottou limitation. Tb? President ?ad eates that the difficulty of transportation is a grei one, and wo doubt not bis appeal is inteadc specially to urgo those States nearest the front do all they can in raising heavier supplies tba they have done for the last year or two. Yet I does say that the army is on thert rations in i\ article of moat. This is unfortunate.

Vor the Advertiser. * To the People of Edjrefield District. 1 j FELLOW Cmiaas :-The President of the Cos federate States has addressed the people af Di? Confederacy, upon the subject of the subsistence ef the people, and tho army. He has distinctly informed them that the only danger nott to be ap prehended, aritos from the wqMt ot food for the poor at home, and for the tolditri in the torvice of their country, lie telle them that the a rwy. is put on Tm If talion ? ; and We presume that tho poor .at home, have no ration*'at alt, if we may judge from the recent food riots in some pf our principal cities. He administers a rebuke to specu lators who are eonoernod' in the Ca?talioa.of the general distress,, and calls uppn the people to unite.their energies and efforts - for the prevention of the only danger that not? menaces the indepen den co of the Young Republic. You have then clparly before yoe fellow-oUitess the means by which the. freedom of your country eau be aebievad, and maintained ; and yon.non- know by whose instrumentality, thia act can be accom plished, and upon whom DOW rests tho solemn responsibility of its failure or success. There are only two elane? now successfully engaged in the accumulation of wealth. And those are the pro duca t and the speeulafori ; and npon those two classes, depends the fortune of the Confederate States. If the mere grovelling inttinet of gain, should induce the farmer to plant cultivate, and gather, his crop, solely that he may sell it out ol his District, for a high pri?e, when there is. want at home; or if substituting the cultivation ef a more valuable product, for the purpose of gain, he neglects tho production of the essentials of life, that class unquestionably ia imimical in fact to the best interests of tbe country, whatever may be Ul intention* andprofettioni ; for it manifestly abstracts from it, the necessary elements of exis tence. Upon the farmer then rests the miserable, and unhappy, or fortunate termination of thia war. Our arms are successful everywhere ; and our enemies are only jubilant now at the prospect of our subjugation by starvation. The issue it reducod to a singlo point. The fixation of the responsibility ort a definite elute is certain. Lat no man hcreaftor of that elan pretend to have beon ignorant of tho knowledge or meena of suc cess. The idea of individual yuin, or Money sid king during fAa*? iror it to-be abandoned at incon tinent with National tuteen, lt il ineoniittent with patriotism. The channels of nearly all of the industrial occup?t io usare im pe dod, if not dried up. The few cannot batten upon the misfortunes of the many. The farming intertitt art aluna protperout. There is an imperious demand for the necessaries of life, and the superabundant mosey of the speculators, seeks that channel of investment. Uence among other things, tba high pt ieee of provisions. The desire of making mosey, eauiei uteri to be regordUi* of the poor mt hone, and forgetful of the tolditrt abroad. Every emt added to tko price of proiiiiotu, in tht prtttnt criiii, retultt from At co-operation of*the produeir and tkt tptculmtor,-limit! tht benefit!, obtainable by the loldien from their pay,-incretutttkt diffi culty of living, by their familiea at home,-aug menta the expenses of Government,-calls for a renewad expansion of the currency, which result? in the natural abd unavoidable inflation of prices,' by which alone the producers and the ipectdutort are bene fitted. Are not'tbe producen then concerned in the elevation of prices, and are they not die only class in the country beoefit ted ; whilst ?Pf eu'alert ia ct fi??, toicui, and villages are the other? So long aa the organ of acquisitiveness pre dominates in mankind, the laws ol' our legislators are mere" brutum fuimen," passed by an inexpert body, to operate upon ob ects in regard.to wbte.b the Loghdature cannot be said to be experta. There it no remedy by legit lat icu for the evils tinder which we labor. The remedy it atone in the sterling ?integ rity, lofty patriotism, and religivus devotion of the farmer* of the (?late to the cause of freedom. To them the appoal of the President is properly ad dressed ba the arbiters of their rou u try 's destiny. To them Sre appeal in the name of the army, where their eons, brothers, relativea and folio w eitixeni aro battling for the. aaored and inherent rights of man ; without even the neeetaariea of life ;. amid the privations and hardships ol winter; naked atii hungry. To them wu appeal in tne name of tho decimated and heroic Regiments that have borne proudly aloft the ensigns of tho Re public ?mid the Storni of battle. To them we ap peal in the nairne of thc im-aortal, dead, whose bones whiten the banka of the Potomac, and th0 fields of -Shiloh and of Mnrfroetbcro. To them we appeal in the name of those mutilated soldiers whose bruised arma are bung up for monnaient* J of thoir prowess in deience of their country. To thean we appeal by the broken hearts of the aged mother, and tha youthful wife; and above all, to them we appeal ia the name of freedom, without which life is despicable, to arouse themselves to the grandeur of the part they are called on to' perform, that they may be able to "nat to tba height of thia great argument." Upon their ac tion in this matter, hangs tba destiny of the Con federate States. What a K.agrji?cont pnrt ita thia great Nation si Drama, farmers of South Caroli na, devolvesupoa you to perform ! Shall you bo weighed and found wanting? God forbid.'
