It is an ascertained fact that there ie surplus corn enough to support our armies until the new crop is gathered, but it is also certain that there is no more. If there was ?nougli in Virginia and North Carolina, South Carolina would ndt be nsked to help, but Bhe is asked and earnestly too, to do what she can for u*. A recent letter fro:r, the Quarter-Master, to whom is assigned the duty of furnish ; ing Uencrol L.ee's nrniy with corn, snj*s tliut every thing depends upon qu immediato supply. Will not the citi/tenn of the District who have corn, tii<l mc by getting ready for shipment all they can spare f 1 am n stranger and without your assistance must necessarily m?ke slow progress. It is no personal favor thai I ? .nsk, but our common country calls upon you for help, in this, the hour of her greatest ; peril. You have been blessed witli a bounti- ' ful harvest, an<l your fields promise u rich return "of corn ; I, therefore, entertain the hope ! that you will not withhold, but deal out with 1 n liberal hand.

Mr. Editor: It bas been suggested by a venerable patriot to force all speculators into the army without regard to age. This he thinks would make them a blesjing instead of a curse to our coisDioo country.

We publish an article ia this issiw, from the editorial colums of the Augusta Chronicle and j Sentinel, under the caption ''Dishonoring tue . C'l'rbknoy," to which we invite the attent ion of jour readers. Indi viduals refusing to take Con| federate money for debtB due 1'uem, is, we think, a eerious offense to oirr Government and injurious to the cause our brave soldiers have beec fighting anu dying for. Law often makes "houssl men," and it is a rhr.lter of regret that Confederate Treasury Notes can not be made a legal tender, under the present Constitution, j Because a man refuses to take Confederate j money in payment of debts is not a dear(1) proof tliut ho is n tinitor to his country and . her liberty, but it is a decided proof of ini' becility aud avarice?that the matter of gcin is more at heart than the welfare of his Govern! nieut?that he is a narrow tuinded, little souled man, anu has not got the capacity to appreciate i;i < - - ^. ui-nj?a ui sunjecL 10 live under a despotic Government?"Abraham should have nil euch at once. If euch a thing in tolerated it will expand to a fearful extent, and whould it bothc case?there is a rfinedy, and one, which we have no doubt our Government will avail itself of, and that is?to impose a heavy direct tax upon the people and absorb it* issues. Too much money is a ruinous thing, especially when a ' fool" has the coutrol of it The redundant circulation must be diminished?and direct taxtion is the only w?y to : cffect it Three months after the war tax is | paid money will be as plenty as it is now?and some people, as ie the case now, will uot know what to do with it?they are not willing to invest it in bonds of the Government, because they have n*t sufficient confidence in her obligations. When our Soldier* in the field arc | willing to receive the issue# of tho Government, for their services, our citizens whose property they are defending should bb the last'ontfs to disclaim sud dishonor it.
