March 17, 1864 DAHLORa»'»iORi>iBTo Bi bm add Aaa&8iiRATi.—The yankeee have been alarmed about the effect upon the world of the infamous document found upon the body of Col. Dahlgren. They first denied that it contained any such words as “Jeff. Davis and Cabinet must be killed.” Now they change the form of the denial, and assert that -Mr. Davis was only to be killed if, after capturing him, he should attempt to make his escape.” The fol lowing is from an editorial of the New York Herald of the ICth inst.:— ‘ It is BUted hy our correspondent at Norfolk that uen. Kilpatrick pcsiiiTely affirms that the instructions found on the person of the l^e Col. Dahlgren did not contemplate the “assaagination” of Mr. Davis, or-any member of his Cabinet, as stated in the Richmond pa- pere; bnt only that he ahoiild kill, or cause to be killed. Mr. Dayfs, if. after capturing him. lie should attempt to make his escape. It is further alleged that it was only ' nhould attempt • ilkftt it was 01 puHic property which was to have been destroyed KiobuonJ, provided (be Union troops p^ot m ohsnce to Jeetroy any property there at all, which. It apr»ars— owing to the treachery of that unhappy negro guide whom Col Dahlgren hung-thev did net get for the present ” And the New ^ork limes says, on the authority of E. A Paul, Its army correaponJent, that "the rebel au thorities have been guilty of delilerate forgery” in the matter. The Times itself adds: “No officer of the American army would ever dream of putting to death civil officers taken captive by such a raid, and no officer in hiq senses, even if he were bar barous enough to contemplate such a result, would ever pul such orders in writing—not for the guidance of his men, for these were not orders to be issued to his troops, bat private memoranda of his own—simply to damn himself 10 lasting infamy Col. Dahlgren was a high- toned gentleman, incapable of conceiving such a pur- poM and equidly incapable of putting on record such a thought. Captain Paul was the only newspaper cor respondent who accompanied the detaohment on this expedition He had been familiar with the project from its inception, had taken an active and a useful part in «»ahlng preparations for it, and saw all the orders, di reotions and other papers connected with it He had real these memoranda of Col. Dahlgren on the day the Oolonel started on the expedition, and he states that •’.fif contained no tuch tcordi as those the rebels pretend to Have found in them Those words were mUrpolated by the rebels to serve their own purposes They were intended to excite afresh in the Southern mind that malignant hatred of the Union authorities which the rebel leaders have so carefully fed from the very begin ning of their conspiracy, and on which they have so largely relied for its success. ” In view ef these denials, inconsistent with each other though they be, the authorities at Richmond should see to it that the authenticity of the dosument be verified The testimony of those who took it from Dahlgren’s packet, aa well as of the captured yankees who admit ted that it was read to them, ahould be taken under the solemnities of an oath. In the mean time, besides that ihe yankee papers and officers do not agree among themselves, there is evidence furnished by themselves of it« truth. This same Herald,' which now affirms that ‘ only public property was to have been destroyed in Rlfihmond,” made the following very different state ment on the 3d inst.:— “General Kilpatrick, with a dashing oavairy force, is rapidly pressing his way to Richmond, with iruiruetiom to $ack Uu rebel eapual, releas' the Unton j/riton«ri there, and out the telegraph and railroad commanioations be tween General Lm and his base of supplies. So far as heard from, the movement has been completely and t>riUiantIy successful, and probably by this time has culminated in a crushing ‘yankee raid’ into Richmond. We are not without hope that Kilpatrick has thus been enabled to solve the problem of the release of our long- suffering soldiers held as prisoners in the rebel capital. He may possibly fail; but we trust that even greater re- tulta than the release of our soldiers at Richmond may crown hia daring but hopeful enterprise. The great mistake was. not to have made it before the rebel Con- greas adjourned.” Thus, when tha result watj uncertain and success was confidently hoped for, it was affirmed that one of the objects was to “sack the rebel capital.” Now the well understood meaning of this term is “to take byatorm; to plunder and pillage.” But now, according to the same Herald, it was only public property that was to be destroyed. But there ia something more in the article of the Her ald of the 8d: “We trust that even greater results than the release of our soldiers at Richmond may crown hia daring but hopeful enterprise.” Greater repults than the release of eleven or twelve thousand yankee pris- oaere? What greater results could have been hoped for’ Doubtless the killing of Jeff. Davit and hit Cabinet. And if Dahlgren had succeeded in sacking and burning the city, and in killing iJeff. Davis and his Cabinet, all yaukeedom would have been in raptures. It is not any amount of villainy that they object to, but only failure 10 accomplish their villainous purpose As to the assertion of the Times that no officer of the .\merican army would put to deatii a oaptared civilian, we can only Judge by what such officers have done. The :aiitances of the murder of oiiizens by order of yankee btLoers have, unfortunately, been too numerous during the progress of this war to admit of a doubt upon that point. V Since the above was written, we fiaJ thv following in tue Richmond Enquirer, showing that the Confederate authorities are ful'y alive to ttie importance of putting this subject beyoud any question, and that the neces- aary stepa have already beea taken to verify the docu ment: “The Confederate authorities hav»> .* “lasting infamy” vouched for, as having been found on the body of Dahlgren, by gentlemen who^e testimony oannot be invalidated; sworn to by the officers who in spected them, as having suS^ered no alteration or inter polation; corroborated by the confessions of the onp- tDMHi men of the command; supported by the atatements of our relumed prisoners, to whom, at Fortress Mon roe and elsewhere, the intention of the movement was proclaimed, and the prospect of killing Mr. Davis and his Cabinet openly rejoiced at; substantiated by citizens on the line of the raid, to whom the design was boast fully announced; and confirmed by a mass of evdence which, when published and given to the world, as Will shortly be done, will not leave a twig of question fer the originators of the b&rbarons seheme to grasp at as thej plunge into the abyss of lasting infamy, or a sin gle doubtful stran in the rope that swiaga them to the execration of the civilized world " The Richmond Sentinel states, further, that the pa pera have been exhibited to the French Consul in that city, and are to be earefully photographed by order of the State Departmeitt and copies sent ta the European governments. Theae fac timilet will show that there nae been no interlineation or erasure. This is all right. There should be no room left for doubt. And when the world shall have been satisfied upon the «|uestion of genuineness, the denials of the yankees will but add to their confusion and disgrace Tbb Laaaa Nons.—The privilege of funding at par oeaaee on Friday next. Persons remitting to ua will re member that on that date all notes of old issues above $6 lose one-third of their value by the tax on them of S3^ per cent.

Frbidoh ar RxuaioM —The Bill of Rights and the Constitution of North Carolina, and the Constitution of the Uaited States, all expressly stipulate for the right of all persons to worship Almighty God aeoordin^ to the I dictates oT their own oonsoienoas, and against any ra- striotion whatever upon raligioos matters. Perhaps no prineipie is more deeply'rooled'in the mindn of the American people than this, and the people of the Con federate States at least will be as slow to give up thia as any other single right of a ftee people. Even Lin coln ^as aware of the tenaoity with which it would be maintained, for it is not long since he wrote as follows: ‘‘The United States government must not. as by thia order, [an unanthoriz^ order of one of his Generals,] undertake to run the churches. When an individual, in a church or out of it, becomes dangerous to the pub lic interest, he must be cheeked, but the churches, as stich, must take care of themselves. It will not do for the United Stales to appoint trustees, superiors, or other agents for the churches-” Such teat Lincoln’s opinion. But, as in the ease of negro emancipation, he has changed, and,now allows his Secretary of War, Stanton, to appoint a Northern Baptist Minister to take possession of all the Baptist churches In such parts of the Southern States as the yankees hold, and a Methodist Bishop to take charge of the Methodist churches, to displace the Ministers se lected by the people themselves, and to put into their pulpits Northern Ministers, or traitors, no matter how bdious they aoi their political and religious [or rather anti-religious,] principles may be On’y to think of the effect upon a moral and religious community, of the dis placement of its virtuous Ministry, and the infliction upon it of a gang of such irreligious and fanatical teach ers of air sorts of isms as the Beechers and Stowes and CheeverN of the North! If anything can add to the in tolerable burdens oi yankee rule, it is this. And it is not an evil in prospect only; it Is already imposed upon the people where the yaakees have the power Tub 7th CuBaBBssioMAL Distbiot.—We learn that two of the aattdidates, ,0ol Wu«. l* Taylur aaU M V- Waddell, b^sq.. have withdrawn from the canvass in this District, and thatCapt. N. A. Kaotsay, of the army, has announced himself a candidate The Hon. Thos. S. Ashe, nominated by a meeting in Anson, is not a candidate. So that the contest is between A. 0. Fos ter, Esq , Capt Ramsay, and Col. James M. Leach. At Chatham Superior Cour*. last week, speeches were delivered by Mr. Foster, Col. Taylor and Col. Leach. We learn from a gentleman who was present, that the speech of Mr. Foster was one of the fairest that he ever listened to, aa well as evincing the marked ability*for which Mr. Foster has everywhere credit. Also, that Col. Taylor was very severe upon Col. Leach; and that both of them failed In their efforts to extract from Col Leach any avowal aa to his preference between Gov. Vance and Mr Holden, except this: that if Gov. Vance was for him (Col. Leach) he (Col. Leach) was for Gov. Vance! But he had heard that Gov. Vance was for his competitor. Mr. Foster. Mr. Foster replied that he did not know aa to that, but hoped it was so. Thb Tax cm Cobpobatiobs.—The Treasury Depart- meat has issued a Circular in regard to the taxes on the shtires and capital of banks, &c. It is dsemed scarcely possible, it saya, that Congress intended to lay a tax of 5 per cent on the value of the ahares, and then an additional tax of 6 per cent on the whole assets in which the capital is invested; and therefore, as the tax is- payable after the meeting of Congress in May, the Department orders that the returns be made in such a form as that one or the other tax may be remitted, should Congress so order. We are glad to see this, as the tax on corporations, which have almost universally proved most earnest and useful friends to the cause, is out of all proportion to other taxes, and bears with peculiar severity upon some clasaes not able to afford it. Mbthodist MtHisTBBs’ Salabibs.—A weak or two ago we noticed the Angular conatruetion of the tax law of 188S, under which Methodist Ministers were required to pay 5 per cent tsx on taeir salariea. (estimated a« income,) whilst other .Mfnisters paid but 1 per cent. We afterwards saw that this was done in accordance with express instructions from the Commissioner of | taxes. The Secretary’s attention having been called to the subject, he reviewed and reverted his former decision, and now directs that all Ministers pay alike on their salaries Those who have paid the excess may recover it by pursuing the proper course, which the .Assessors and Collectors will readily point out and assist. Plabt Cobh, Potatobs, amd «thbb BorkLKS.—The great need of the Confederacy this year will be of an a- bundance of food. In the hope that Providence will smile upon our cause by sending a favorable season, every man should plant early, and to the utmost extent of his ability, every variety of grain and vegetable for food for man and beast. And after the crops are made, it is to be hoped that they will not be hoarded. That which God gives, let not Bian withhold. To increase the supply of food, we would reepect/ully suggest, that as few laborers aa it is passible to do with, be employed upon public works, such as forti fications, railroads, &c.

This, of course, includes all her inaiitutions, such as Cities.

While, however, lay down thip broad proposition, I acknowledge my anxiety, as vwll as my duty, to be to send all persons into the arm.y not iniU^entable to State purposes. The tuo grcat'.prlBoipleB which gaide my action are, first to exrempt all persons who are really necessary to the preservation of the State Government in all its parts and instilutiofis—but, secondly, to exempt nobody who is not praatieally necesAry thereto.” State offioera with no duties to perform he will band over to the enrolling officers.
