FORBIGN OPINION.

As^ami'v^ the sam of notes to be redeemod at
$400.00'},000 and :ho pr 'por-ion uf Nor. a
lica, lor cii^uylo, ut ono tenih, or S40,000,000,
the tax ip ki. d for that S .its wottld bo, in cora,
20,000,000 bushels; and it app ars to me ihat tbe
burthen ot tbe *ax if ia no degre» nfF-oteti ^y th«
mode of payment. Being one tenth of tUs »gri
cuicaral iaoome, if p%id in kind, it waald take
from the faraier 20,000,000 basbels of corn; and
if paid in money, tha valut^of tbatqaaodtj. Con
sequently thp State of Vir^inin, though not taxed
in dad on tho tobacco crop, if taxed ono tenth ot
the valac ia monoy, would sell ib»t proport!o;t»of
the cron, and p&yiosr th« money into the f reasury,
contribute thereby her equal share to the common
burin ec.
To extend the tax to all tho present ihbjectsof
the tax in kind, would euhrgo th» sinking fund
and allay *he apprehensions of possible inequality;
but thero is sometkiog waniinfir beside* & aiakiog
fand; wa want h jrtaaaar'* cf vsJaa also. C^uld wc
ooiQjQcnce the immeUit^te redeoiption of the ootA*
in spoMO, a-*d give to all th? assa^noo of reooiv
ing payncns oc demsad, th« cn-n‘aiioy would ripo
at OQSe t > Bpscte valc9. Could we enter imme-
diatoiy upon the redemption in corn at $1 p«r
per bushel, with thj atuura*xcft of an adequate
s'jpply to meet all demacds, the appreciation, I
thick, would bs ncnrly as rapid, and th« restora
tion of thd value aloios^ couipleie. My impr3S
aion^ are that it would be quite complete if the
privilege of exportation eould be given to the
purchaser. •
The uniformity of quality that belongs to tbia
fftaple; its ohara'ter as an ardcle of food; its uni-
veraal use; and its simplicity r« an article of com-
mertfo, c icibine to giva it a valne moro usiform
aud 3'abl.-;, and more extensively ktown in our
country than that of any other cojamodity except
gold »ad silver. For this reason, had tha supply
of corn beea eqaal to the redemption of tbe notes
within a reasonable timo, and theio.madiate tund-
ing of a laT((o proportion not been of such gr?U
importanec, I wouid bav^ inclined strongly t^ the
use of corn alone. To encourage immediate fund
ing, and secure adequate} me'ios f«r tho earlv re
demption of the whole, cott m and whoat were
adde 4, but it must be admitted, I think, that tbeae
additions impair, to some extent, the eimpiicity of
the plan. an>A the certainty and invariabil'ty ot
the value of the notes. Three clasiis of cjrtifi
cstca, in uoequal proportions and of different
value, ma^t now bo used in lieu of oae certificate
ot uniform value. The neocssity however of pro
viding an adequate fund rendered this concession
unavoidablo. Bat to go further in t'ais direction
seems unnecessary.
IX tobacco, sugar, ric0, hay, hemp, A a., were
introduoed, the yield of each, and tns ratio it
bcnrs to t’ae others, would have to be ascertained,
tho comparative value to be determined, and an
other clskM of cwtifi ’^toa for each to be issued, in
it bore to the others. This
woulu - •» •
endanger its euscesslul exeeation, and at
same time define and oxpreds with less okamecs
and preaision the value of the notss- More 1
thinx would ba lost thereby, in that part of the
plan which is leaigned to clothe the notes with
the attributes and quality them to perform the
functions of money, than wouH be gained by
enlarging the sinkine fund, which is already am>
pie. My impressions ;^rs very strong that this
view of tho subject is correct and I hope the de-
libera'ioDS of the Committee m%y bnng them to
the same conclusions. Speedy lo^slatioa is of

We^had only time to i'itroiao? a brief pira^raph
in our 3 0’clock ciioioQ of yo-sterday eveuiag,
giving the litest item of nevfs fro n bayand tiic
river. Thare is no reaaondble daabt that by tni.'i

Gib-son, in tno Cher -ke^j country, wiiioa can be
oa.‘;ily overpowered, if neojssary, but does not in
terfere with our movements. Stand Watie rules
the country, having o^ptnrcd numerous trains
sinoe his big Haul ia Ssptambor.
Th« Ghootawj, Cherokaea, Crocks and Sttmi-
aolos have upwards of 7,000 men in arms, and
are firmly unitsi ia tho Southern oau3d. About
2.000 Cherokeei aad Creeks went ojf to tho yan-
kees with Ross, bttfc it ia the opinion of Stand
Wade that not more than 400 or 500 of them are
left.
Mr. Boadinot oonfirmi the report of Cdlonel
Brooks’s capture of a train of 50 or 60 wagons be*
tween Fayetteville and the Mtssouri line, just
previoas to the capturo of Fayetteville.
The yankees still nold LitUo Rack on suffer-
anoe; Magrador oould capture the place, but it
would not pay.
At the latest news from Gon. Priee, previous
to the capture of Fayetteville, he waa at Cane
Hill with 33,000 men, a portion of whom are in
need of arms. He had great trouble in getting
out of Misaeuri, with his immense spoils, being
hard pressed by the enemy, but sustained no dis
aster except at the cipturo of Marmaduke and
Cabell, on which occasion he lost about 300 men.
All the other Yankee stories of their successes
over him are fables. At latest account his train,
numbering 1,200 to 1,300 wagons, was crossing
the Arkuisas between Fort Smith and Fort Gibson.
All the Western people, especially the Mis
sourians, are well satisfied wibh the result, and
Gen. Parsons says, ‘Tell my Missouri friends
that the Missotiri expedition nas been a complete
fiuccess.’^
The object of the expedition was, as has been
declared by a high authority in those matters, to
secure spoils of the campaign, aud place arms in
the hands of the numerous roeruits.
Wovnded —Augusta, Dac. 12.—In tha fight
at Coosawnatchio on Friday, Brig Goa. h. J.
Gartrell of Ga. was badly wounded in the sido by
a shell. He remained on the field, however, tiU
the fight ended, waen he was brougut here.

has broken out among the horses ia this section
which proves fatal in a few hours after attacking.

which fought the Cadess on Tuestiay waa about a

Charlsst^n ('aurier, lOf^
It is certain that Sherman’s advanjo yasterd-ty
had onoountcr«d our forces, under Gon. Hira^j:,
at or near Station No 2i on the Ceatral ia;irot.d,
about twenty miles from Savannah. Severe figai

Sherman’s columns aro very ciaoh scattered.
At last accounts, Hardee was skirmishing with
the eafimj's aivaaoe in Ei&agham county, while
Wheelar was hacking and pegging away at the
1 :^ar guard, no less than forty miles this side. A
Corps of the enemy is foragiag on the wes*: side of
thf* Ogechee. From this disposition of forces, it
ii*lil tie seen that the hosale eorps are sprawling
over a large spaee, and not a little demoraliied.
Tho impression pv^vaiis that an att«mpt to cross
tha Savannah river, at or below Sister’s Ferry,
'"^iil be made. Pfcoamtions of a novel and for
midable character have been taken to prevent tke
execution of such a design. The end is rapidly
eul^inating By tbe first of next week, Sher
man will nave terminated his eventful march.
Whether successful or not, the fature alone ean

on yesterday at daylight, and after a brisk en
gagement were driven back, our for'ees stili j ur-
suing. Still further rcintWrcem>nti have becii
Bent to Kinstoii, amply sufficient f,>r a .y foroe the
enemy can bring to bear at that point. Lt Col.

Yankee Account the QrahamvUle Fight.—
The Port Royal yankee papers in their report of
this fight admit a loss on their side of between
800 uid 1000 killed and wounded. Their loss in
officers was partieularly severe. The 65th Mas
sachusetts (negro) regiment lost its Co'onel and
nearly every company officer. A detaohment of
tbe 157th Pennsylvania of about 200 men, from
Fort Pulaski, lost 4 officers killed an.d 35 privates
killed and wounded. They aoknowUdge a bad
defeat but attribute it to overwhelming numbers.
The foroe was collected from the diffsrent garri
sons in the department, and the expedition
planned and eommanded by Gen. Foster himself.
