I am here to-day to discuss before you the fifty million lua but 1 am lrank to tell you, it may be one hundred i -II- T . .

The proposition the Government makes, therefore, is to take a loan in produce. In the gram-growing sections the members of Congress j possible; but, my countrymen, do not suppose the j Government v,iil not tax you, if necessary; for I ; tcjj you the Government ilocs rrr.t intend' to be i -bjugated, and if we-do not. raise the money ,by i loans, if the people do not contribute, I tell you we intend to have the money, and taxation will be resorted to if nothing else will raise it. Every life and dollar in the country will be demanded rather than you and every one ol u3- shall be overrun by iLeenemy. Applause On that you may count, Jhe Government, while it desires to carry on ths war, establish your independence, and maintain the Government, at the same time wishes to do it in such a way as not to erij pie industry; and while our men are in the field fighting the battles of their country, thcil brethren at home are discharg ing an equal duty, so that no serious detriment to puplic property will be sustained, and we have the element to do this that uo other people iu the world have. Now then, if four millions of bales of cotton are made, upon an average price they will bring two hundred millions of dollars. If the cotton planter will but lend not give lend to the Government the proceeds of but one-half, that will be one hundred million of dollars, double what the Go vernment wants, or did want, when we adjourned quite enough to keep two hundred thousand men in the field the balance you can use as you please. I now will. read to you, just at this part of my address, the proposition upon which I shall make some comments, for I wish every gentleman to understand it. It is not asking a donation; the Government .'imply wishes to control the proceeds of your cotton. The Government proposes to give you a bond bearingeight per cent, interest, paying the in tcrcst also, semi-annually. It is not. a gilt or donation, but simply your surplus cotton, as much as you can spare. This is the proposition: "We, the subscribers, agree to contribute to the defence of the Confederate .States that portion of our crop set down to our respective names; the same to be placed in warehouse or in the hand of our factors, and sold on or before the next." Fix the day of sale as soon as you 'please; the first of January, the first of February', or the first of 31arch, if you please; though lam aware the (Invpriimftit wishes vnu to sell it as soon as con- Government wishes you to sell it as soon as con- vc,,jcnt. put et cach ..Jniitor consult his interest, , . , 1 -i u ,1 . 1 t i t and in the 11 ( anwhile consult the market. But to proceed: "And the r.c-tt proceeds of sale, we direct to be paid over to the Treasurer of the Confederate States for bonds for the same amount, bearing eight per cent, interest.'' There is the whole of it. The cotton planter j directs his cotton to be sent into the hands of his j factor or his commission-merchant. IIe only tells j ; ti.

Well, my countrymen, I will tell you this, that it is known only'to t,he Ruler of events. - It is curtained from - mortal knowledge and mortal vision. 1 know not; I would not know j l couid. It is the mysterious intiuv; out there I is 0Ud ,llin? 1 Can tell you with c(-i,fidence, and j that -is it is going to last unlil the enemy is whipped and driven from our soil. l remendous if I could. It is the mysterious future: but there applause. And it will require men and money t( do it, and the best way to make it a short war is to send men into the field,, and to raise means enough to support them in the field to. -drive the enemy out. That is the best way. That is the way to make it a short war, and in this the cotton planters can contribute: and when 1 tell you it is au uncertain war, I cannot account for its duration upon any rational principle. It is a fanatical war, and wherever fanaticism gets control of reason, you can make no speculation in regard to it. This is a war against reason in every sense of the term. In the first place, many of those engaged in it are engaged in a crusade nominally to ameliorate, the condition of a portion ot our population. .Ihey are engaged 'in a crusade to make things better than the Creator made them, or to make things equal which he made unequal. It is impious iu tout a great ileal ot the lanatieisin oi the war springs, I doubt not, from that source. Such an effort never could succeed, were they to overrun us and drive us away. These very people would do as some are now reported to be doing in Virginia (of winch I neither affirm or deny the'truili) capture the black' population and send them off to Cuba for sale, liut there is one thing certain, that they can no more carry out their fanatical de signs than they can make the Savannah run to the mountains, for the Great Creator the lluler of the heavens and the earth He that made man and fashioned In m made one inferior to the other, and made some to differ from others. This fanatical sentiment of the North will no more make the negro equal to the white man than it will make the leopard change his spots or the Ethiopian his skin. It is a war against the inter est of those who wage it, and, of all the people who will suffer by "it, the New England States will suffur the most. I heir trade cut off, their sup plies cut off, their source of wealth cut iff, where j are they to trade hereafter? We furnish them a market; no other people of the world do. They cannot sell their goods to Great Britain, for they i are supplied by British manufactories. Nor can I they furnish Germany or France..

For more than a week the commanding General of the Confederate forces at Manassas had been ' anticipating an advance of the enemy, and had so - ' niTail'iid his trnotis Jia tn Lr nrnii-irpil !if nil lioiiile ! At Fairfax Court House, Gen. Boiih.nn was stationed, with six regiments of infantry, com- ; posed of four from. South Carolina (Kershaw's, at company Cash's, William's andlJacon's) and two from Vir iow. These ! fii"5.

At Fail fax Station, about four miles dis istant j tnents were stationed at intervals ot a mile lnm ' -,ll;" oioei iwiunes xiiiu .iauuiii;t xegiuicnt guarding the Rraddock road approach from Alex andria, which intersects the country road between the Court House and the Station. At both places infantry works had been thrown up for the protec- tion of the troops, and at the Court House, partic- ularly, extended lines of defence, including two or three masked batteries, had been constructed, At Centreville, a commanding eminence on the turnpike road, between Fairfax Court House and Bull Bun, Col. Cocke was stationed with his rc-i- menfc and Latham's Jiight Battery. The object of these preparations was to resist the incursion of any thing short of a large army into the interior, and in the event uf the approach of a force under twenty thousand men, to give battle and drive them back. At the same time, orders had been issued, in case of an overwhelming demonstration ol the enemy, to fall back on Bull ilun, the select ed batye-grouud. To provide for this contin gency, the troops, for more than 1 week past, have been trimmed of all superfluous baggage, and been under orders to keep on hand constantly three days' provision in advance. We are particular in stating these minute de tails to give the reader an idea of what was antici pated by the commanding (Jener.d, and of his arrangements to meet tho contemplated con tingency. On Thursday, the 18th, the enemy fell his way cautiously up from Alexandria and Washington, iu three separate columns, of probably 1j,0UU each one down the railroad, another the Brad dock road; the third from the direction of Fali's Church. Our pickets were driven in about 2 o'clock, and our troops, after firing several hundred rounds, withdrew in order before the advancing foe, and foil back on the banks of " Bull Bun," a stream about four miles from Manassu-J, aud eight from the Court House. The "Bun" is about sixty feet wide, and easily fordablc for infantry at this season of the year ; but its points of defence against an adversary attempting to cross are inviting to the military eye. Here the retiring forces were met by" Gen. Longstrcct's Brigade, consisting of the 11th, 17th, and 1st Virginia Regiments, under the command respectively of Colonels Garland, Corse and Alore, together with artillery from New Orleans. Our troops bivouacked for the night in expectation of the fight opening at day -break. But the enemy approached . cautiously, beating the roads and woods in advance of them with skirmishers, until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when their main body arrived within a half mile of the Run, and made three several attempts to advance on it, and each time were repulsed with great slaughter. The reports of the los of the enemy are con flicting, varying it from five to fifteen hundred. Certain it is, their retreat had every appearance of a signal rout leaving, as they did, their dead be hind them, atid losing six pieces of their artillery. Two of the Virginia Regiments pursued them for some distar.co, and captured quite a number of prisoners. The Confederate loss is estimated at about one hundred killed, wounded and missing it is said the enemy, m their several advances, be haved at first with much spirit, .quickly rallying and closing up their mowed columns, but finally broke, aud gave way under the murderous execu tion of our musketry aud artillery. On WedResday afterioon, despatches were sent to General Johnston to repair with a portion of his command to reinforce General Beauregard at Ma nassas. Johnston has his entrenchment at Win chester so strongly fortified and defended with heavy artillery, as to be able to spare at least half his command without any risk.

INCIDENTS. . Among many interesting incidents of tho ltull enemy, lelt thvir ranks lor that purpose ana aa- j laucru mmiic uisianee in iroiu. vuu ui inese, James Wood ridge, of Capt. Blunkiuship's compa ny, who was wounded, made for .a tree, which would afford him protection, but just as he arriv ed there, a Lincoluitc came up, who disputed tho ! possession of the tree with Woodridge. Tho mat- j ter was, however, quickly Fettled, for without any j parley, Woodridge ran his bayonet through the Vankee, killing him instantly. A Federal officer j t!lt;" rt,d"e up, who had observed the affair,;and I while Woodridge's bayonet was still in the body ol Ins victim, ordered nun to surrender, llio proposition, however, did not accord with Wood ridge's idea, for iu an instant hi bayonet wad with drawn, when he let the officer have tho full bene fit of it, and killed him instantly also. Two luoro Lincolnites was just thcu rushing upon Wood ridge, but observing the fate of those who had proceeded them, immediately turned about, pud taking to their heels as fast as they could left our hero in possession of the much coveted tree. Woodridge was subsequently wounded, no doubt, in courequence ot exposing mmsell unnecessary ,y' " . Another of the incidents mentioned to us is, that while a negro servant of Capt. Langhorn's compa ny was moving about over the field, ho was order ed to surrender by a Federal officer, who rodo np to where he was unexpectedly.- Nothing daunted however, and not relishing the idea of fcurrent'er ing to a Yankee, the negro replied, "No sir-ree, you are my prisoner," at the same moment draw ing a pistol and shooting the officer dead. . The sable hero then secured the officer's side-arms, and when the battle was over boasted largely of bar ing given a quietus to one at least of "the Btinkin" Yankees, who cmc here 'epoetin to whip us South erners." . . GEN. GAIiNETT'S RETREAT. How Ac was hilled. . Through Lieut. Col. Crenshaw, of the 23d Vir ginia Regiment, we have learned, and havo the satisfaction of reporting, a much less disastrous result than heretofore credited, concerning the late collision between our forces aud those of Gen. McLellan in the North-Western mountains. - The forces in Col. Heck's, or rather Col. l'egrain's camp, was not eut off and capturtd as reported, but mainly escaped safely through the woods to Monterey, where Col. Crenshaw has seen them. Major Tyler is at that point. The only prisoners taken by the enemy, except stragglers, were about 200, including Capt. Atkinson's company who surrendered w hile under command of Col. I'egram. These have all been paroled except Col. Pcgram, who is probably reserved for oxchange; McLellan doubtless found it inconvenient to feed them as prisoners. ( Gen.Garnett, uuder whose immediate command the 23d Regiment was, broke up his camp on Thursday night, on the day of the Rich Mountain battle. Jle marched towards Beverly for several miles, whn learning that Col. Win. O. Scott had deemed it proper, (contrary it is thought, to Gen. Garnctt's orders,) to retire his force below Bev erly, and was retreating. Gen. G. halted and ro verscd his course, commencing a line of retreat by way of t. George. The march was commenced amid a heavy rain, and was exceedingly laborious. Detachments were detailed to obstruct the road in the rear of the retreating column, by telling trees so as to retard pursuit. In this manner the last fori of Cheat River, v distance of 2.) miles was reached on Saturday morning. Kkinnifhing had meanwhile been taking place between our rear guard and the advance-of the enemy's pursueiug column of six thousand. In one of these 200 Georgians wcra cut off from the main body, but evaded capture by taking to the wood, and sub sequently rejoined the army. At the cro.-sing of the Cheat, a severe fight took 3,,acu between the enemy and the 2.3d Virginia Regiment, who were sent to protect the pasaaga of our baggage, and to check the pursuit.
