AYRES, t W. II. WADE. Richmond, Va. September 3 36 tf ! The Financial Condition of the Confederacy. We are enabled, (says the Richmond Examiner) from papers before Congress, to . present a succinct and interesting statement of the financial oondition of the conntry, and to enlighten the public as to the amount of our public debt j its class; the receipts of the Treasury up to 1st August, and the probable demands that will be made upon the resources of - the South in vie* of the continuance of the war and the exigencies pf the country arising therefrom: It is ascertained from offioial data, furnished by the Treasury Department, that the whole expenditures of the Government,' from its commencement to the 1st of August last ^amount to 9347,272,958 85. It should be stated, however, that five millions of the amount charged as expenditure has been cpaid for the redemption of deposit certificates, and the aggregate above stated is subject to that abatement when -considered in the light of actual expenses The expenditures up to the 1st of August are as follows : War Department..........9298,375,542 41 Navy. Department....14,605,777 86 Civil and Miscellaneous......15,766,508 48 $328,748,830 70 To which must be added out-standing requisitions upon the Treasury, upon which warrants are not yet issued to the amount of $18,524,228 15; making the aggregate, as stated above, $347,272,958 85. An examination of-our funded debt account will sbow that a lamentably small portion of onr public debt exists itTthis fprm. The whole amount of bonds and stock issued is as follows : 18_per cent. stoek and bonds $41,577,250 (5 " " ? call certificates 82,784,400 IT$74,461,650 Thinstatement indicates, an evident indisposition of onr people to make. invest^ ment in this form, and furnishes an explanation of much of that disturbance of tbe standard of value and enhancement of prices in tbe country, which' bave been the consequence of the large and disproportionate issue of Treasury notes. Tbo issue already made ofjtreasnry notes amonnt9 lo $183,244,135; leaving authority tu issue $16,755,865. Tbe receipts at the Treasury up to 1st August from all the various sources of income are as followa: From Customs?..i $1,487,399 96 From Miscellaneous sources 1,974,769 38 From Loan, act Feb 28, '61 15,000,000 00 From Loan," Aug. 19, '61 23,613,346 00 From call deposits under act December 24th, 1861 37,585,200 00 i From Treasury Notes, act; j , ' I March. 9th, 1861 2,021,100 00 From Treasury Notes, act M..1R.K IRftl 17 R47 (10 j f . .iuaj J-UllU, JLUUA * 0 > I ?

It is supposed that the authoriiy to issue general currency notes most also be extended by Congress to meet the appropriations already made by it and not yet paid, and also the further appropriations to be made. The appropriations already uiade by Congress and - , not drawn on the 1st of August,-amount to $164,687,389 93 The estimates submitted by the various Departments of the additional supplies required to make good deficiences are to support the Government to 1st January next, are as follows: tit?!

The experiment of diminishing the quantity of circulation by interest-bearing notes and deposits on call is said to have been very successful, and is likely to be encour1 aged as a relief from excess in the quantity of the national currency, which, as it exceeds the usual business wants of the community, must be productive of high prices without relation to the actual value of the currency.^ It is understood that the interest notes, t t-t _ j 1 aiiDougn ourreDt to a certain uegree, uavc been generally withdrawn from circulation, J on account of their value as temporary investments. Most of them have beeD taken under the belief that the interest would be paid like other interest, and the Secretary - of the Treasury has enoouraged this belief i by a recommendation to Congress that the ] interest should be paid annually. { It is supposed that Congress will be under the necessity of providing another war , tax. From the war tax returns, and from , estimates as to such States as have not yet made complete re turns, this fund may be i set down at seven hundred millions. I The War Tax has been paid by the several States as follows: r North Carolina 31,400,000 00 t . Virginia 2,125,000 00 ? Louisiana 2,500,000 00 J Alabama 2,000,000 00 Georgia 434.126 12 - Florida 225,374 11 J Mississippi 1,484,467 67 ?10,168,967 9C The State of Georgia has substantially paid in the balance due by her, .and the 1 State of Sooth- Carolina has paid the whole amount due by hdr into the Treasury, in the form of six per oent. call -certificates. But as the final settlement has not yet taken plaoe, the certificates have not as yet been c delivered op, and the account is not yet * closed. The returns from the State. of ^ Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, 1 and Texas, have not been rendered in com-;' plete. The two foraer S^les have, never- 1 theless, paid their taxes in advance. - ' State Convention. - 1 * Wednesday, September 17, 1862. I ; The Convention came to order at 10 a.

On the 17th instant, after-some Successful amendments and maov abortive attempts the following substitute (by iMr. Inglis) to the Ordinance which was reported by the majority of the Committee of Seven, was passed : We the People of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, - do declare and or dain,' and it is hereby declared and ordained, That the "Ordinance for strengthening the Executive Department during the exigencies of the present war," ratified in Convention the 7th.day of January, A.

Sec. 2.

Comparative Strength of Worth and South. When this war broke oat the populatioi >f the North was, in round numbers, eaj wenty-ooe millions, all free. That of tb< 3outh was twelve millions, of whioh foui nillions were slaves. Now let us analyzei ittle in order to ascertain what the rea jower of numbers, so mnch boasted of bj ;he Northern Dickmans, is in this oase.? We speak, of course, with referepce to tb< AnnAAtfn fft1? l?oi Q? n OP QrmlOl uiulivu auvuDi ua^uiigr ivi ? ? dossessed by the respective sections. ' First then?-Of the twenty one million; )f the North, the population of California Dregon, the territories of New Mexico, U ;ah, Jefferson, and Washington, amounting ;o at least a million, is gt ^graphically ana mailable to the Washington Government fo; jperations against the Sontb. Deducting ;his item leaves twenty millions.. Of the? ;wenty millioos one-half are females. De luctinglhese, leaves ten millions of males From these ten. millions deduct four mil ions oecessary for agricultural purposes an< household service, and a million and a hal 'or filling the various public offices, for con lucting commerce in its various branches :or ship-building printing,:" the manage nent of railroads, and necessary mechani sal' work of a hundred kinds other thai sottoti-spinning and weaving. Thisdedno .ion leaves four and a half millions! Tab Tom this all the male children under 1( f v .. , pears of age and all the men- over'50, (a east two and a half millions,)-and there i; i remainder of just about two millions o ;he twenty-one millions for fighting parpo ies, and 0/ these thousands are unfit fron liseaso and various physical infirmities fo nilitary s'ervice. So, at the most, two mil ions of whife males between the ages 0 16 and 50 constitute the aotual militar itrength of tho North for offensive and de ensive war operations. Let us dow look iuto the Southern etatis dcs. The '-four millions of slaves suffio "or our agricultural purposes. We havi .hen left the whole white population 0 ;ight millions against a corresponding six ;eeo millions of the North, after a deduo don of the requisite number of. field laboi srs there aod the populatiou of California Jic. Out of tiae eight millions deduct on naif for the female proportion. Tbisleavj four millions of males. Deduct from tin Lhcmales under 18 -and over 50, say tw millions, and we have two millions left ? Deduct those filling public offices, conduol iDg commerce, printers, managers of. rail roads, and mechanics of all kinds, two hue dred and fifty thousand, and there.remain one million seven hundred and ?fty thout and as the actual military strength of th Squth,?being only two hundred andJlfi thousand less than the much vaunted nun btrs that were to overwhelm us so speedil and resistlcssly. The abov'e we believe to be about as fa and correct an estimate of the comparativ strength of tho. two sections in soldiery a can well be made, and onr people shoul be taught by \t how little real terror thci is in the cry of numbers which have bee raised to frighten them by the blusterin braggarts of the North. Even if,their a: mies outnumbered our three to one we coul beat them, but if we were to draw full upou our muscle we could meet them a LUV/DL LUOU IUI {'A Glimpse Behind the Rebel Lines. 'Under this head the New York Tribui draws aside the curtain, and makes the fo lowing "glimpse behind the rebel lines'* A little drawing aside of the ourtai which has hidden the battle-fields from or sight has given us a glimpse behind tt rebel lines. Words dropped, and storii told by our men, who have been release from captivity, and the. sad sight, of tt hunger-worn^ tired, battle-worn soldier and the corroborating admissions of reb* prisoners, give as a sharper, somberer pi< ture of the rebel condition than we hat been willing to make for ourselves. Th panic stricken wretches, who come fin from a battle and last on a march, have bet all along spreading stories that our encm was fresh when we were weary, well ft when we went hungry, that he had all ta ent for victory, all chances for success, ac that from the Rapidan to the banks of tl Potomac he had crushed and overwhelme us by his fearful supremacy of numbers. Are miracles performed by God for tl benefit of the enemy ? Has he placed tl springs of eternal youth by their paths, i that they can drink and be new men ? it given to them and their beasts to lii without food cr sleep ? And if not, wt should Northern papers say, and Northei people believe, that Jackson and Lee a heading an army great in numbers as swarm of locusts, thoroughly supplied wil provisions, and better or as well armed i our own ?' Why? Because the blir guides forbid tae papers to tell the trut1 and these pretty theories of re~bel superio ity have grown like mushrooms, from tl heated bed of a smothered public inteli gence. The enemy has had no more men, noti much ordnance, nor provisions, nor tran portation facilities, nor near so much ei cumbering baggage, but he has outgenera ed us from Slaughter Mountain to Edward Ferry, and God knows but he will do i hereafter. Make your display of capit headings to our war news, harp upon 01 driving the enemy a tniie this morning, an four rods the day after to morrow, but tal your map and see how that enemy hi crowded us miles upon miles, and leagm upon leagues, from Culpeper to the vet gates of the Capital, flnaking us at will c the right or the left. See how we hat gone zig zag day after day, repelling fein that some of our generals believed real a tacks, sacrificing brave men by hundrei to no purpose, burning stores that shoul have been saved, losing men that nevi should have beer taken prisoners, abandoi ing territory that should have been hob See how, pursuing the even course of fixed and definite purpose, the enemy hi baffled our counsels, wrested victory afti victory from us, and is now threatenic Baltimore or Washington. This is tl [plain, unvarnished truth, we have bee ' whipped by an inferior force of inferior mei ? better handled than oar own. A few facts from the pergonal experience-of our officers recently captured and just released on and without parole, show that the condition of the rebel army is actually not as good as 1 oarown. > ' Portrait of a Genuine Lincoln Yankee I i Doodle. :i ' i Mr. Editor : As we expect the war to I olose at some point in the nineteenth cen~ ? tury, and as we,wish to remember while w?

A gentleman justfrom Knoxville, Tenn. informs us, that a difficulty occurred y Nashville, during the early part of the pa's week, ""between Gen. Don Carlos Baell commander of the Yankee .army of th West, and 4?^y Johnson, Linooln's_Prc visional Governor of Tennessee. The quai rel grew out of a difference of opinion hi tweon these two distinguished Lincoloites as to the policy of the Federals evacaa'tinj Nashville at present. Baell contended tha it was a "military necessity," and flankej as he was east and west, with Gen. Bragg' army to the north of him, and the Confede rates also holding Chattanooga and Mm frcesboro to the south, it was impossible fo him to hold Nashville and subsist lilr arm) Johnson replied that notwithstanding th reasons alleged by Bnell, the place m'ttf not be evacuated, and if it was, he shoal certainly blow up the capitol building b? fore he made his way out of the* city. Bu ell rejoined by statingihat'he would caus Johnson to be shot if he dared destroy th capitol; whereopon Johnson remarked, tha Buell was a d?d scoundrel. This was a insult that thd Federal General Felt him selflfcound to resent, which he did byknoofe ing Johnson down, jumping'upon hiqi, an giving him what Paddy gave the drum, via a very sound beating. Johnson's face i said to have been very badly bruised, an bis two eyes swollen into one. At last at counts 'Johnson had Bed the place, an Bnell -eudeavored to follow the Governor' example, but findiog that Gen. Bragg wa too quick for him, and had placed his pow erful army between the Cumberland an Gallatin, retraced his steps, and re-entere Nashville.. Here he will probably remai until forced to surrender for laok of sup plies. This intelligence was brought t Knoxville on Sunday last by a gentlema who had escaped from Nashville, arid on informant states that it may be relied upo as being strictly correct.?Petersburg Ei press. ' The Late Battles.?The Lynchbur Virginian Jparns through a letter from th ltev. W. A Crocker, Snpt. .of the Arm Intelligence office, himself now at Gains o ' ville, that the Toes in killed in oar recec battles will Dot exceed 500, and the wouDd ed (most of these slightly) reaches betwee 15 and 1,000. Mr. Crocker has every fs cility for arriving at a correct estimate. 0 says that the great disparity between on loss and that of the Yankees is truly re markable, and most astounding to the^ene my. He says that between fifty and a hun dred ambulances have beeo engaged da; and night in removing the Yankee wound ed from Manassas, and up to Saturday last wounded still remained on the field. When Jackson fought on Friday the ground i covered four deep with Yankee slain, th< slaughter there being the most terrible o the war. The very name of Jackson, h< says, is a terror to the foe. He reports tha our commissaries are buying abundance o stores in Maryland, and getting bacon fo ten cents a pound. He estimates the Yan keelossip killed and wounded at 12,000 and says that their whole army is utterlj demoralized. They say that Pope is a cow ard, McDowell a traitor, and as for Mc Clellan, they scarcely venture an opinioi now. They have lost confidence in thei: officers, and conceive a high opinion of oars X Treatment of Conquered Cities. The Richmond WAry concludes and edi- 1 torial on this subject as follows: 3 (Jot object is neither to get back into a \ union with the North, or to conquer her, I or to wrest from her any portion of her tor- < ritory. It is, as we hare said, simply to avert from ourselves the war of conquest t which has been urged"uponus,hnd to bring ? the'straggle to an end. We are, therefore, 1 entirely justified in doing anything consist- 1 ent with the diotates of hnmanity to secure \ these objects.We have a right, and ought < to exercise the right, to levy contributions < upon Northern cities, not only by way of < indemnity for our own losses,but inordet* to { damage and cripple our. adversary. We 1 have a right to arrest and deport Northern < citizens, and hold them as hostages for those j of oar people who have been seized and fm- ] mured in Northern dangeons. We have ! a right to appropriate and impress every- i thing necessary for the supply of our troops; I thus relieving ourselves from -a great burden by transferring it to the shoulders of the enemy. , When we declare these things ( not to he accessories to a system ofoonquest | or subjugation, bat instrumentalities tor procuring a peaceful settlement,' the world ( will see"that, while they are a just'retribu* 1 tion as to the Yankees, they are. strictly lawful on oat part. The Northern people i themselves will discover that jhey have something more to dread in continuing the , war than the mere loss of life or jimVupbn ' the field of battle;-and that thd~ebncomi. tout horrors of theoonflict, its evi&aod its r hardens, may visit'them at their own doors, aod even at their, own hearthstones,.. In -this way we 'shall gain some real benefit | from'an infasion of the North, audi, even if compelled to abandon: the Northernterrito( tj,--we shall leave behind remembrances , which will, questionless, entirely destroy our adversary's taste for the-war.
