. The prer?ing necessities of-tho present titne ?
c-.ll very lqudly.upon.tbo")eople to look well to '
thflijiown concerris,and toascertoin, if. thoy cnn,
tho causo of their pecuniay ?ifficultiee, and the '
enormous cost of living.. The first" and great'
cause of thc pr?tent -fahtie-p'rice of provisions
is the cbnduet^frfhje Government Commissioners
for assessing tb?"price: pf-^rain.' With tbe'mo
tives of those g^o??m?n tc haye nothing lo do,
aud shall tay-nothing on hat point. Wo consider
thoriuoBtion ?top?y ina tnapciul light^ and ia
that Bepoct wc ?iro hound io pronounce the oon
. dee t of these Commissioneu as marked by the most
unparalleled ignorance, .just at tho time when
the new Curren ey Bill hoc commenced its opera,
lions, when several"millbn of Treasury Notes
had been withdrawn fton circulation: on the
day whon the people bad Ucn promised that the
-currency would be improvd and the coat of liv
ing diiyniebcd, these Coamissioners, come fon
ward-lile tho evil gen iq s ; of the country-and
in tho temerity of theiri'ftt'orance, by ono fatal: |
net, defeat utterly ali tho legislation of Congress
.'on thc currency quosiicn. They destroyed effec
tually by their decree,- alt hat tho nid'ed wisdom
of the country had done, or could do to restore'
the currency. When thej raised the GoVern
.ment pt ?ce of corn to $5, tl ey-struck a fatal blow
at Government credit. It?ras not so much the
mere nu:cunt of ' money that the Government j
would lose by the rhcreaseelprieeOf corn, buttho
injury wis this. Just at tie moment when tho'
wholo country was expeethgan imjproeewenf. i?.j
tbe currency, Government ?facer? loise the price I
bf cora 100 per cent ina day; thus proclaiming
to thc.public,that, notwithstanding all Congress
had doue, th* currency o?thc country had de-,
prrrmttd) and ?mdd continue to depreciate. Their
proclamation bad the effect-we do not say ihe
detirad or anticipated effect- but the erT^cf that
.once.the confidence e?thc pabilo lu the new issue,
and enrrjed. nyntie, price .of everything to the
irorent ruinous point, <,
The question now presents itself: who is-beoe
fitted by putting bread at'famine prices t% We
answer, no one-but every member of thc com
mouity is injured. This we -hope to show you.
Who is benefited by putting corn at $10 a bushel ?
Every mun, we suppose, who- has corn to sell,
thinks himself benefited; ambit-is just this-do
lusion that is mining tho country. Suppo.? a
planter bas corn te veli, ?rd be gets ' the market'
price-$f1U or ?io a buniol.. This money fae must
.either spend for the necessaries of life, i-r ipvest
U.in"pr<.perty" i. c. lund mid negroes^ i>rin Gov
ernment Bonds. It .will bc st membered' that,
baring no specie, bread has boccme in tho Con
federate States, the standard*.of vuluc; andas
the price of bread rjses or fads, so all other com
modities rise or fall in proportion. ThuS when
cota sells at $10 a bushel, yea will get no more
meat, or cloth, or Eugar, or salt,~~for a haskel of
corn than you would if .com-was felling at $1.00.
li you -.tarit to iavest money in lands or alav?s,
you Had the same fact ? Wring you in the face.
The people are under a moat fatal dolusion that
they are getting rich under these high prices for
provisions. Nor is it anything new that a whole
country should be fatally" deluded upon a finan
cial question. " Tbe South Sea Bobble" in the
'reign of George 1st, deluded the. whole English
nation; millions were suiik and thousands of_in
nocent persona hopelessly ruined... If the people
of tho Confederacy can accumulate .property at
il, ir lime, it will bc done in opposition'to uil the
received/rides uf Polit'crd Economy.
A man was navel known to rr.-?w rieh by tra
ding with k Laical f. This I? josi the condition of
tbe people of Ibis Confederacy.. To whom is the
Planter and the Manufacturer selling his grain,
andris cloth. Ile sells fer*" Confederate Notes,"
und consequently to tho makers of those notes.
But who 1; the Drawer of the?? Trca-urr notes 7
Thc.common ooswor would be? tho Government.
'Now w"Tkn\;wTh~3t the ?inw-Hr al^r?rirry
sponsible for ?ts payment, thaine CPU be sued a?
law," and his goads sold to fat**y the noto. But
we opine that it would prove rftker an unprofita
ble business to sue the Confederate Government
for one thousand million dollar?, ft might tum
out a nulla iona ease. While, rhea tbe Secretary
of tbe Treasuey is tho ortcn.-iio .. drawer of tbcoe
notes, bo is in point of fact hut the agent of a
Compnny. The Principal, thtrre*r.oiui!'{i/e patty
for these'notes, is the people' of the Confederate
SV >*. If those notes arc eyer paid they most
b? paid hy tho people of tba Confederacy.
It would be well then for tho planter and Manu
facturer to understand now tbi! when ho ls sell
ing-his goods for Tr errs u ry no tc/, he ia telling for
his own paper. Ile promises to pay thc bolder
of the raid notes so many d?rkri in gold or sil
ver coin six months after a treaty of peace, wifk
the United States. -Hence th? exact amount of
promissory notes issued by. tho Treasurer, will
ba the amount ef the debt which the people will
have to pay at the end of thia war. Now the
amount of that deht^wUl di^r-td. upon the coff of
the war ; and this cost will detenu UP0B> ike prioo
tstb?t Government has to pay.-for provisions and
clothes to supply the Army; *- .'
Heneo it is etif-evident ik? I if tbe Pian ter and
Manufacturer require the Government to pay $6
instead of $1 for food ged clothing tu supply, the
Army, they will have a7i<bi - of lire instead ot
one to pay at tba end ej|J?Awar. Instead of
accumulating-a national sVtwfftnually. of one
million, they ire in fact mailing a debt of ?TO
million. Tho qutution- recur*: who is to be
benefited by the operatiuu? Tho answer is
plain ; tl peor^gi'ziroilsijbuft be ir jure s.
, The debt at'he end of iii war will be paid,
or it .will not.. Take either ?iternati ve yon think

( The monotony which characterizes lifo ia eur
rlil?g?; in these drys of ?ar, hos.been recently
interrupted, by several -enlcriabiments for tho
benefit of tho sick and mary soldiers ?<f the
Confederacy. QB. tho evening of Friday, August
12th, the new Hail of thc Academy, waa crowded
at an carly hour with those who had. assembled
to witnessia" ?rie? of Tableaux by .the-children
of thc school, assisted by sumo, of the* ladies of
the village. Thc scenes wire all very beautiful,
and wore greeted with loud applause, especially
Ibo comic rc presentation of a Pantomime; illus
trative of the effects ef tbs universal passion for
telling and hearing ghost.-atorics.' Hie exhibi
tion war a Complete success, as waa testified by
the frequent bursts of applause, and the* many
earnest requests *for a speedy rere ition of tho
entertainment ; as well as by the moro tangible
fact, that, m the nest morning, the accomplished
and talented Principal of the Sch del forwarded
$700 to Rev. Dr/BaCH?AT? for tho benefit bf'the
Hospitals,- the result ?if the efforts or herself and
coadjutors. Nor must - wc forget to-mention the
fable bountifully supplied with a feast of edibles
by the lady refugees, who thereby added con
siderably lo the proceeds of tho evening.
On last Monday evening we had th? pleasure
bf attending another entertainment, at the sante
place,.mader-Hie auspices of tbe. samo patriotic
ladies and gentlemen, assisted by thu talented'
Corps of Amateurs who hilve given a series of
Concerts ia Augusta. The introductory fantasia,
by Professor ILSL?T, was truly a treat to the
music-'nv in g portion of the andiene?, - who were
delighted also-by his beautiful accompaniments
te the EC t gt of the talented Mira LY ox or Edge
field, and his interludes to thc recitation of "Tho
Soldier in bia blanket," "by Dr. .CooTantB. Wo

whiHi .appealed powerfully to the hearts and
sympathies of many of the audience, who have
lost loved ones on tue field of battle. Many en
oje became moist and many a heart was touched
by tba words of. the dying soldier. There were,
also a .few beautiful Tableaux-" Night ?nd Mor
ning," "The Exile of Siberia," ?fco-; bat th?
chief features, of the evening were tie inimita
ble comic songs of Mr. Basuras, and the .con-'
eluding Pantomimo of the " Tin trampet," rep
resented by him and a. citizen of Charleston,
now a merchant of Augusta. The supper table
was furnished, on this occasbn, by the ladies of
the village, and gave no evidence of the hard
times,.of which.every one'bas so much to s ?j.
Tho.inclemency of the evening kept many ht
homo, who wcrp anxious to attend, but tbe pro
ceeds of the entertainment amounted to nearly
3700, and were forwarded to the Soldiers Relief
Association.
