will b? a cut plus of 80,000,000 of Iracon in the

not he opened ; but if the latter event should
take place, the hog crop would not supply the
demand. It is conjectured that the Lincoln
ariny will consume 40,000,000 pounds during
1 the year
The War Tax
As everything connected with the War Tax
I is at this time interesting to a lar.e number of
i our readers, we publish in this pspcr the Act i
j of our State Legislature providing for the pay- |
I merit hy the Stale of the Confederate Tax, and
' for the after collection of the same from the
Tax Pavers i>y her own officers. It will he
seen that the Itooks for the collection of this
Tax will be opened in June next, and again in
November following ; and that all Tax payers
who pay at the first opening of the books will
be entitled to a deduction of five per ccntuui
from the amount of their Tux.
v We also publish the recent instructions of '
the Secretary of the Treasury, based upon au 1
Act of Congress "fui ther supplementary to an 1
Act to aulhot ixo the issue of Tieasury notes
and to provide a War Tax for their reilcmo
tion." These instructions, though received 1
after the work of the Sub Collectors and Assessors
had begun, may prove interesting and
advantageous to Tax Payers in gcneial.
The Tews
Since our last issue, stir ring events hare ta- 1
ken place. From accounts received from the '
different camps of the enemy, it seems that the
'day is not far distant that shall witness a grand
jnovement of their* to "crush out the rebellion"
and demolish with a single stroke lire last
(traces of the gallant Confederate army. 1
That we are now on the eve of a great struggle,
dfsnerale?one in which is suspended Uie very 1
existence of our new Government?seems to I
be the foregone conclusion of our peopfe.? |
Whether our armies can meet and drive back 1
the opposing legions which are to be hurled
agniust them, there is but otic expression of i
entire confidence, both in their superior discip*
line and bravery, uttered by our people.
Though we sometimes meet with reverses,
it is no more than we may look for. We can*
not expect to be victorious over larger contending
foes upon every field of battle. And
though we have met with a sad disaster in the
defeat and death of Gen. Zollicoffer,?and we
feel it the more sensible, as our confidence had
, so much increased from the multitude of sue
ccaainl enort* which hare crowned our arm* ;
yet, if report* bo correct, tho defeat of Umn.

Important from Richmond.
The War Correspondent of the Savannah
Republican, whose statements and opinions
hitherto have always proved just and well
founded, w-riiing from Richmond, on the
20th Inst , gives the following interesting
information :
I should have written you before this,
but for tire reason that I desired first to
procure reliable information in regard to a
matter of great public concern, t am glad
to have it in my power now to say, that
dny is beginning to break in the east. At
least, it is reported, and I believe it. that
the Independence of the Confederate States
will be conceded snd recognized by Great
Britain and France within the next fortydays.
It is also said, and I think truly, that an
intimation was given to our Government
some weeks ago, to the cllect that the British
and French Governments, and probably
the Spanish Government also, were fuvora
bly inclined towarls the Confederate States,
Sod that they were disposed to recognize
our independence at an early day. It was
thought best, however, as the time was
short, to await the inauguration of the permanent
governfhent on the 22d day of next
February. These advices had left Kurope
before information liad been received there
of the unwarrantable seizure of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell. This latter occurrence,
and the increasing distress occasioned by
the withholding of the cotton crop, may,
a? already intimated, bring about our recognition
at an earlier day than that mentioned
above.
There is a reason also to believe that simultaneous
with the acknowledgment of
our independence, the blockade will be do
olared,by the same Powers, to be ineffectual
nnd illegal, and as such, not binding or
worthy to be observed Should the United
States resist this proceeding, then there
will bo w ar between them and the maritime
Powers of Kurope. Upon the raising of j
the blockade, the shipment of cotton ahrond
nod the introduction of foreign goods, will
commence. A sense of relief will then be
experienced throughout the Confederacy.
Money will become abundant. An adequate
supply of arins nnd ammunition will be obtained.
The occupation of the extortioner
?the aider nnd abettor of the enemy ? w ill
be gone, nnd the Government nnd people
be placed in a position to conduct the war
with vigor and success.
I may mention s rumor in this connection
thnt a Committee of Congressmen proceed
ed to Mansssas yesterday, charged with a
request to Gen Beauregard, that he would
consent to be transferred to the military
department embracing the State of Missmri.
Gen B. is almost indispensable to the
Army of the Potomac, and there are many
who would regret to ace him leave it It
ia reported thnt the President ia entirely
willing to make the transfer. Of one thing
you may feel satisfied?to wit : that Gen.
Beauregard will do what he believes to be
best for the public service. A more loyal
and unselfish patriot does not breathe within
the bounds of the Confederacy.
McClellan Ready, and Promisee an
Early Attack.
The Norfolk Day lluuk, of the 2*Jd inllnni
an t a *
Intelligence has been conveyed to ue j
Hint McCleilnn wm preparing to cross the |
Polomnc ; and when our informant left tho
point ot observation the necessary preparn- j
lion* were very nen'ly completed.
The Vnnkeee are reprenented n? being !
about to make one more great effort, upon
which they rent their nbllity to subjugate
the South. That they uiny have nothing j
to upbraid themselves with In cane of do I
f?at, they have even gone no fur ae to asl(
the direction and bUaaing of God. To thi*
end Friday laat w?a observed, in Washington
city, as a day of fasting and prayer.
Wo learn that the seeming tardiness of
Gen. McClellan in moving forward, has
been explained by that officer to the satisfaction
ot the Cabinet . In a recent private
conference with them he made ft sAtement
of the motives by which he was actuated,
and declaring among other tilings, that up
to that time he had not been thoroughly
prepared for an advance, but that now he
was ready and that the forward move ehould
at onto bo made.
Another Warning ? Wuh the number of
a eidenls constantly occurring with firearms,
it is surprising that mors caution Is
not used. Yesterday, a inouraful casualty
occurred which present* an important fact
that coat a man his life. Mr. l'ress B. Pat
terson had a lo iJcd pistol in bis hand, and
his wife h*gg?d liiui to put it down, lie
took ofT the cap and threw it on the floor,
playfully presenting it to hia breast, he

Front Cedar Keya, Florida?Reported
Capture of the Town.
A gentleman just arrived from Florida
(says the Savannah Ntics,) informs ns Ihnt,
the town of Cednr Keys, Florida, situated j
at tho Western or Gulf terminus of the t
Florida Railroad, was taken possession of ,
by the Yankees on Thursday last. ,
Cednr Keys is a small town with about i
thirty bouses, and probably one hunded in- (
habitants. The bar has nine feet of water, (
and is a good harbor for small vessels.? ,
At the time the Yankees took the plme ,
there were three scliot ners loading nnd five |
fishing sruacks at the wharves. Our iufor- |
mailt, who had nn interest in one of the |
schooners, which was loaded with lumber
nnd turpentine, foels confident that the
owners of tho vessels in port destroyed j
them rather than that they should fall into 1
the hands of the enemy. Some timo since 1
the Confederate troops were withdrawn
from the vicinity of Cednr Keys.
On Thursday night last, as soon as it
was ascertained that the Yankees intended
to attack the town. Mr. Yulec, President
of the Railroad, went down with two companies
of Infantry, to protect the property '
in the vicinity, nnd check the Yankees advance.
A messenger frem Ccdir Keys wns '
j sent to Gainsvillu. Florida. tli? nt>n??wr -.!??
I graphic office, lo telegraph to Gen. Trnpier '
that the Federals had attacked the town,
and asking him to send assistance. During
Thursday firing in the direction of Cedar
Keys wrs heard in the adjacent county,
and a conflict had no doubt taken place between
'lie Yankees and the Florida troops.
The Situation. ? It is not likelv that our
Confederate Government would send Ma. i
son and Slidell as Commissioners to Eng.
and and Frunce, while we have nble men
there representing us. We think they
were armed with credentials a* Ministers,
and as such have presented tlicin. As such '
the Governments of Kngland and France
had either to receive or reject them. Under
all the circumstances we are confident they
have not been rejected. If ti.,'se Governments
ever entertained the idea of recognition
of the Confederate States, they would
not reject the accredited Ministora of our
Government, at a time when they had received
a Intuo attempt to t' row off the
reparation duo them for a great prlnc'ple,
which tho?c Governments had a right to
reijuirc to be recognized. These Governments
will ieeogtii/0 our Ministers, and
present their protests to the United Stales
Government against the iiiellicient block
| tide, while lliey make their arrangements to
I remove it. We expect good news by the
next arrival from Kurupe.? So. Carolinian.
Another "Stone Fleet'* for Charleston liar- 1
bor. ? When day dawucd yesterday, the '
number <>f (he enemy's vessels had still fur
tlier increased, some twenty.oae, in all, be* '
ing in sight. Hy close observation with
powerful glasses, it wus ascertained that '
the crews of the brigs and barks, the old '
fisliioncd build of wbicli we noticed in our
lust issue, were busily engage I in stripping
the hulks of portions of the rigging, spars, '
etc. This no longer left any room for
doubt that Ibis was really another detachment
of the famous stone fleet, by which
the w icked City of Charleston is to be "hermetically
sealed." Indeed, a report prevail*
el yesterday afternoon, that thev had nctu- (
ally begun the bnrbnrous work by scuttling j
one of thrir vessels between lteucli Chan- I ^
ne! and the Itattlcsnake, but we doubt J ^
whether such was the fact. Should the { (
weather be moderate to day, they will probably
develop** their plans, unless they determine
to avoid observation, by sinking the
old halks at night.?Mercury. I

The Legislature having, at its late session,
author.zed the Issue of Bonds tc, the
amount ol $675,001), bearing an interest of
seven percent., for the purpose of providing
tho funds required to sustain the Slate in
the u. t of resuming her rights of sovereign,
ty, this Bank is now prepared to dispose of
the Bonds. They are issued in Ruins of
$50, 9100, and 9500. An otm^^inity is
thus atforded every citizen to secure
and profitable investment, wlnv contributing
aid to the cause in which the State is
engaged. With tho view of enabling citt?
zens in any pnrt of the State to share in
the Lost , the Clerks of the Courts of the
several districts have been required to open
books of subscription for the Stock. Stii(able
arrangements will be made for furnishing
the Bonds on the receipt of the money,
at an early day after each subscription,
has been made, engagements for the purchase
of Bonds may he. made at the Bank,
or at any of its Branches. It is probable
that, at the next Session of the Legislature,
those parties who desire it may have thsir
Bonds converted into Stock.
