The first four amotions of thi6 Act contain its policy. The remaining sections pro vide for its execution. The first section authorizes the issue of Treasury Notes to the amount of $100,000 000, redeemable) six months after peace ? and makes them a legal tender in the pay ment of government taves and other dues, except the export tax on cottQn. The'socond section provides, for the issue of ?100,000,000 of Confederate 13oud6, payable in twenty years. These bonds are to be sold in effect only for specie or mili tary stores or foreign bills of exchange. They bear 8 percent interest, and the in terest is payable semi- annually. The third section gives the holders of Treasury Notes ,the option of exchanging said notes for Confederate Bonds, whenever irinr finis t?i invfcst. J v ^ The fourth section provides a War Tax on all persona owing more than $500, of fifty cents in the hundred dollars. This tax is for the purpose ot supporting the government and.of providing fur paying the principal and intercut cf the public debt. We aro but little disposed at any time to dogmatise on so intricate a question as, that of the finances ; und the act td which we refer comes to us commended by the sanc tion of the delegntion in Congress of every State, and it is said also by each member of every delegation. It presents, therefore, the most imposing claim's to the people. A perusal of its provisions will,-wo are quite Oil I o Ul/lllli ill luio J-'I tjiv-jovootuu , i uu vv? j'ect of the first two sections, as above ex plained, ra to provide our treasury with the jffl;ans of prosecuting the wnr in which we are engaged, to victorious result upon *hich our people"OTV?mbanirQous!y resol ved with art unalterable vow. Two hun dred millions of dollars are Urns to be raised. The third and fourth sections pro?ide a further resourco ..for the demands of the government, but thfeir cl|ief^.purposes is to jajuoui.'n ^ie credit T)f our paper emissions. For lhe#e objects, a wai' tax is imposed fcjpoc tHo people. Qut of its proceeds the interest**! the 5ontedprate bonds is to bo ^ "paid semi-annually. . The Credit of these bonds being thus established, they become the means.oi immediate support to the isue of Treasury notes. So long as the holder of" these notes can exchange them for,eight per cent, bonds, on wlitcti trie interest is regularly j?aid| they cannot bccouoe a de preciated'currency. We caifnot but accepfrit asvfeminently wise and proper that Congress should have reinforced-thnt credit which the Confederate \JJonds affd"Notes would have derived fron the public-fai'I: of a great and lich and prosperous anu honorable people, by th( specific provisions which we find in thi present act,'* A people' who istedfl to pa; their debJlPwyjt show it bjj their tax bills If their legislators arc afraW thus to ap peal fo rt&m,'" capitalists will be justly a fraid to ttfyllit Jbem.

The South baa within itself all the means of employing and sub sisting its people.

It is matter of history'" that the'glo rioug uprising of our fathers for liberty and independence', was nearly rendered void under the distress r?f paper deprecia tion. Their error was in issu.\nSf their con tinental money, without providing a means for securing the payment, i Perhaps \7Q should rather say it was the misfortune of 1 their condition which drove them upon a policy the evils of which they foresaw, but could not escape. The continental Con-t gross had no power, to tix the peoplo ; it could only recommonj^tit to the State. Our rulers at that tirop vP0r<f;, also afraid to try the experiment. "'As tie contcst wus ou ! the subject of taxation, th%-laying of taxes adequate to tha exigencies of war, even though it'had been practicable, would have been impolitic,' so they' judged, and so they acted in 1775. [Ramsay's Ilislory of thy United States.] In 177G 'the rulers r>f Arnfrii-fi still tlinnnrnf if nA?mnMir? fn urge taxation,' although, as the historian further informs us, 'it was obvious that if bills of credit were multiplied beyond a reasonable sum for circulation, they must necessarily depreciate.' In 1777 they be j can to realize their error.. About the mid die of that year, the paper depreciation t commenced. At its close, 'the deprecia tion was about two or three to one.' Ia i 1J78, it became 'five or six fur one.' In | 1779 it was'twenty-seven or eight for one.' In 1770, 'fifty or sixty for one., After | wards it either ^Jjd not circulate at all, or | at the rate of 'a hundred and fifty to one.' j In the latter part of 1778, Congress set to work to repair its mistake anji to restore credit to its paper ii?ues. *'It was tb'eil too late. The credit which might have been i preserved, couiu noi ne revived. JLSesuies, its drafts upon the States for taxes, with which to redeem tho paper money, were very imperfectly responded to. The con stantly depreciating currency involved all pecuniary matters in ever growing confus ion and disaster. The paper money went down as we have stated. Finally two hun dred fhilltons of issue were redeemed by five millions of silver dciiars. Tho people lost the difference. Our Coi)f?re3S. as wa hava sean. hnve commenced rigtft. History is philosophy teaching by example ; and they are profit ing by the tecbing. The have provided a basis of credit for the government paper before issuing it. We are full}' persdaded'' tliat the people, so far from responding with murmurs, will greet' them with dpi* plause.

Jack son at the battles of Talladega, Tallahassee ajid Horseshoe, duripg the Creek war. I Hia father emigrated to Georgia while ' liOn. was very young, and Ben. was kept j at schooJ in Tennessee until lie was four teen years oM. After this, T3on. was kept hunting until ho was near twenty one.' At that time, the bears^were so bad in Tennessee that tho settlers could not raise their hogs. Hunting bear! in tho cane required much caution, and if a man's giin snapped, he lost hia 'breakfast. Young McCulloch frequently killed as many as eighty bears during a season, and never /hail twenty in the course of winter, j Tfiis iwb fe.avo 'J'm a taste wild ad van- | ture, and wi?en':<* became of age, ho de- j termined to go oii a-n expedition to the Rocky Mountains, and i\?ft '''s home for ftc.

David rockett, who was making ut? an expedition to go to Texas to take part in the revolution. The whole South west at that time was alire with feelings of sympathy for the Texans, and men were^daily flocking tp their standard. Nacogdoches was appointed the place of rendezvous from which the expedition was to starf, and Christmas of the year 1835 was named for the day of meeting, when, as 'Old Davy' expressed it, they, wero tp make thsir Christmas dinner of? the Jiump of.?? buffalo.
