And ono of the first things to be said and remembered is that the army in the field ia not Lincoln's army, but ours; that the prosecution of the war is our affair, not his. t And, having laid this to heart, let us all be frank, and confess honestly that a people in puen a state of mind as the Southerners, with armies of so much pluck, spirit, and en durance, and so well led, as they put aad keep in the field^ cannot be subdued by any force that is not composed of the bone and sinew of the North; that is not composed of men who will fiirht for love of the cans?; who have something more than a soldier's respect for the flog; and who are animated by higher and better motives than toy hired alien or Southern field band can ever be." .

On Friday night last, at thc dread hour of midnight, the sleeping citkeni of the vicinity of Cbappell's Depot were urousid by tbrir terrified domestics, and informed that the Yankees were at their doors. Three hundred truculent ana bloodthirsty Hessians, " full of strango oaths and bearded like the pard," hadjilrtudy reached Fellowship Church and burned that sacred edi.

I A Word to the Sober Sense or tb? .Peopled *The prcising necessities of the* present ti call very loudly upon.tho people to look wei! their ova concerns, and to ascertain, if tltey'c thc cause of their pecuniary difficulties, and enormous coat of living. The first and gr cadse of the pr?tent famine-price of provis! is the conduct of the"Government CdmmisBion for a."i?epeiug the price of ?rain. With the i tives of tbosefgentiemen vre have nothing to and ebal! say nothing on that peint." Weconsi th 'question simply ip a -financial Tight; and that aspect we are' bound ie pronounce thu c duct cf there Commissioners ss marted hy tbe tn uir]iaralleled ignorance. Just at tho time wi the new Currency Hill had commenced its ope tiona, wbep several million (of Trcofury Kc had been withdrawn from circulation : on day whon the people bad been promised that cur roi. ey would be improved iud the cost of 1 ing diminished, these Ce mmtesiun?rrs cornel ward-ilka thc evil genius of thc*country-J an tho temerity of thetr ignorance, by one fe act, defeat sttterly all tho legislation of Congi on thc currency question/ They .desho/ed efl tually Uy their decree, nil that the ut i ed wied of thc country bud done, or could do to roil tbe currency.- When they raised the Gove mest price of corn to $b? they struck a fat kl bl at Government credit. It was net so niuch mere apvunt Of money that the (J o verna: would.loso by the increased price of corn, but injury was this. Ju.it at the moment when whole country was exy%ctiugjan improvement thc euri ency, Government officers taiso tba pi of corn 100 per cent in n dtiy ; thus proclaim to the public (bat, potyitbstanding all Congi had done, the currency of the country hod prra'otid, und would continue to depreciate. Th proclamation bad the cifoct-wo de not sa}-1 desired or anticipated effect-lut tho ?ff-ct tl every aeufible man foresaw. It destroyed onco tho conjideppe ef tho public lu the new isa ?nd carried ,up the prico of everything to present ruinous point. The question now prcsonte itself : "who is bei titted by putting bread at famine prices? answer, no one-but every member of the co munity ?? injured. This we hope to show y Who isbouefited by putting cora at Sin a bush Every man, we suppose, who has corn, to si thinks himself benefited; am is just this i lusion that is ruining tho country. Suppos planter has corn to.sell, and bc git g th? mar] price-$10 or $15 a bushel. This money bc m either spend for tbe necessaries of life, ?ir inv it in property, i. e. land and negroes, or in Gt eminent Bonds. It will b? remembered th having no . pffeie, bread has become in the Cc federate States, tbe standard of value; and the price of bread rises or falls, so all other co in od ?tie,? rise or fall iu proportion. Thus wh ? com sells at $10 a bushel, you will get no n?< meat, or cloth, or sugar, cr salt, fora bushel cum than you would if corn wee eelling at $1.1 If you want to invest money in lands or slav you find the same fact staring you in the fa> The people arc under a most fatal delusion tl they are getting rich under theso high prices 1 provisions. Ker its it anything new. that a/wh< country should be fatally deluded upon a fina cial question.. " Tbe South Ssa Bubble" in t reign of George 1st, deluded tho whole Eagli nation ; millions were sunk and thousands of i nocent persons hopelessly ruined. If the peor, of the Confederacy can accumulate property this time, it will bo done in oppesition to all ti received rules of Political Economy. A man WM. nover known to grow rich by tr ding with himself. This is just the condition th? people of this Confederacy. Tu whom is ti Planter and tho Manufacturai selling his grai and bia cloth, ?ie ?el ls ? sr " fenfederato Nuts* und consequently to the makers of those note But who is the Drawer of these Treasury note* The common answer would be : the Govermnen Now wc know that the Prower of a note is r ?possible for ita payment, tbat'he can be sued i law, and hi? good's sold to satisfy thc note. Bi we opine tbut it would prove rather an unprofit: ble business to sae the Confederate Governmci for one tb ugand million dollars. It might tm out a aidfci ?ona case. While thea tho S?cr?tai ti the Treasury is the" ostensible drawer of tbei notes, ho is in point of fact but tho .ayent of Company. The Principal, the renontiblt part fur these notes, it the peoplo of thc Confedera! Stetes. Tf tbcae notes "are ever paid they mui be paid by the people of tho Confederacy., It would be well then for the Planter and Manu facturer to .understand now that when he is sell ing bis goods for Treasury notes, he is selling fo bis own paper. He promises to pay the holde of the said potes so many dollars in gold or til ver coin six months after a treaty pf penco "will the United States. Heneo the exact amount o promissory notes issued by the Treasurer, wil be the amount ef the debt wbirh thc people wil have to pay at tho end of this \.ar. Now tb? amount of that debt will depend upon the ocst e; the war ; and this cost will deptnd upon the prk* that Government bas te j .-?j for provisions and clothes to supply tbe Army. Hence it is self-evident that if tbe Planter md Manufacturer require thejsoveraguent to pay SS instead of $1 for food aud clothing to supply.the Army, they will Lave a debt of five instead af ono to pay at the end of the war. Instead of accumulating a national debt annually of one million,'they are in foot waking a debt of five milliun. Tbe question recun : who ie to be benefited by the operation ? Tho antwor is plain ; tb e people generally must be ii juro . The debt at the end of the war will bo paid, or it will not. Take either alternative you think most probable. If thc debt is paid, who ?MO pay it? The people of the Confederacy; ?here is no other supposition pasible. Hon id ibis :o bo dene ? These Treasury notos mu.-t be funder ; the Government will Issue bouds for the amount aud establish * national debt. Tho interest upou t",BiO bonds Must be pt i J annually-and thc money te pay tils ?nteres; be collected by taxing tbe people. Now if flutter* and Manufacturers continue lo dem 4P d from tbe Government tfjo present enormous prices for bread and cte th, at the end of- this war tbe national debt will amount to some 1---or 3 thousand million dollars; the debt is already oue thousand million. - If the nation detenu jue* to pay the debt, which ip honesfy. it is bound to do, thea tbe people wijl be burdened with an amount of taxation greater than any people ever greaaed under. Thus the men who now think that they are growing rich by extorting from the Government will finally be forced to disgorge their ill gotten cains-and th nt in geld and silver. But let us take the other alternative-that tbe debt will not bo paid. We repudiate ; what then ? Upon when: will the loll fall ? Certainly upon tho holders of Treasury notes. It can fall upon non? ohm. And a here wiU thc loss fall heaviest f Upon those surely wbe are now gathering large amounts of Treasury notes by the sale, of their goods. The poor will have little to lose, fer it now requires the expenditure of r ?ry dollar they get, to suppor' * from it .o day. If to avoid this risk, the Planter and Manufac turer, in their madness, determine net to reecive Treasury notes at all, they will net thus get rid of the difficulty. The war mutt be carried OB sud will bo carried op, Au J if Jheso who hart J the supplies.needed for the support of the Army, refais io fl! to the Government,, tier e is but oae alternat ?rc ?eft : namely, the" Government mest take these arricies, ?nj; tc the Planters asd Manufacturers certificates'' of indebtedness paya ble After tho-war. And wa are itali ned tu the opinion that this after all would be the bert sys tem tl it thc GeverLiuect could now adopt. It would prevent an cxaesaive iciue, an,d thus arrest a depreciation ef the currency ; and no mau would lose ono farthing by it. If what wo have ard be true, ?hut the pceple ?re stiling their produce for their ?wu nut?*, theu they would be jubt aa well ? ff at the end if the war, if they were now, by common cuisent tu *?ree to furnhb thc Army with food and. cloth, inj without any of tbe Intermediate fwitu.

Many an eye became moist and many a britt was touched by the words pf the dying soldier. There were ulso a few beautiful Tableaux-" Night and Mor ning," "Tbe Exile of Siberia," Ac; but tba chief features, of tho evening were the inimita ble comic songs of ?Mr. IUUSE:;, and the con cluding Pantomime of tho-" Tin trumpet," rep resented by him and a cHirati of Charleston, now a merchant of Augusta.
