M v t"(? a t' 'i -1 THE STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, April 8, IS63 ' At tLe last session of Congress that bodj failed to pass a tax bill when the whole people were londly de mandia g the measure. We believe the Conserrati ve press were especially loud id IU censure of the oniisf aont and forthwith proceeded to launch oat into con demnation of the! administrationfoT Mr. DTis for this non-actim of tJougrees. . . Congress has now, it is understood, nearly matured a bill of the kmd. At once the cry of opposition is raiwd by this same XonsertaUTe preRs-against the bill, and the administration availed most furiously. "Were the opposition aimed at the details of the bill, .we could give credit for its honesty. But as the proViBions of it hare not yet bjen matured, as we cannot know what the terms of it will be until it finally passes both-houses, and.it is not known that the President will approve it when passed, we take the incipient howl of opposition which is prepared to burst into a regular hurricane of denunciation ai only - the hypocritical nidations of the hired mourners'at a funeral. J ' . There U uprinciple and no honesty in the opposi- I tion to the tax bulSi(bre Congress ns it nowstands, because no one feature of it, as yet, has any binding force. It is only at this stage the special action "of the members entitled to no more weight than their re- , upective private judgments. ; But a tax bill in some form is necessary and inevi table, j The Government must be supported and the - people must furnish the money in some form and at someday. If the Government goes on its present course of issuing vast quantities of paper currency, making no preparation to redeem it, it will poon be wortlilfcss. Like the notes of an individual whobor rows from every person and pays none, the Govern ment (will soon find no one so credulous as to lake its faithless promises. . - . If liowever, the people sec the government making provision to meet its engagements, its money will be freely; taken aud full value given in every material whiclj it needa. Thus by a firm eredit the debt of the country will be less and the Deople in the end will save immense - eum3 of taxation by advancing at this time the means I of fixing the credit of the Government securely. At'. the present value of the. currency a"pound of moat is worth fifty cents. If the value of the Con federate notes were increased to that degree that the same, meat could b bougH-for twenty-five cents, of course the expenditures for this article would only be one Lalf. what it now is. So ia proportion wih every thiug else, aiid the people hereafter wjuld have not more than one half f the debW upon them which is now being incurred by the want of some prop to the credit of Confederate currency. ' A stringeift tax bill every body admits will secure thi3 prep by lessening the volume of the currency and inspiring, confidence in the honestyof the Govern . meet to?meet its liabilities, undeterred by the arts of demagogues jand the machinations of malcontents. Why riot pass a, heavy tax-bill with liberalxemp tions to the ppf -and the soldier ? There can only be too objections urged against the measure; Pne is that the people dont want to pay any taxes at all,, for any purpose vViThis is the plea of the dema gogue with no sense, no honesty and no policy in it. j Another objection is that the Confederate Govern ment is a tyranny and it does not become freemen to submit to its exactions. There are. sorh'e in the country who think and talk in this way. They say we have no confidence in the cause of thc': Confederacy, we never supported its creation, we have no lovo for it now and never had, we are not solicitous in seeing it ustained, and we wish it destroyed; therefore, we Sre willing to pay 'no taxes to sustain a cause we detest. There is a policy in the reasoning of the latter class, a most destructive one. Tt is tha;policy of reconstruct tion, which has never been abandoned by a portion of our public men. They forget one thing howeve'r. It is this, if the Confederacygoes down, all their noey will be worth nothing, and by sacrificing thefr country they will have destroyed themselves. , .Demagogues and malcontents, then have already began their warfare upon the tax-bill. They will Jceep it up, and they will mislead taany people into joining in the opposition. But these things always have to be encountered by every free pMrernment. The true friends of the peo ple, and thclrue supporters of our independence, as they havo herciofor j, so they must still battle against predjudice, ambition and treason, and in the nd they will prove triumphant. A tax-bill in seme form ia one of .the necessities of of our situation. We have no hope throne can or will be framed lrte of objection. SuchA he has nev er been framed by any legislative body. But the common good must -be sustain- at the expense of some inconvenience. s ,.. - A V aixa BlTt-TABLC. Through the politeness of the Confederate Tax Receiver for this State, Wm. K. .'Xane, Esq., .we arb enabled to lay before our readers n abstract -f the Confederate Tax paid by the State or JS orth O.rohna for the year 1862. This table will bo found to possess considerable value, and should be carefully laid aside for future reference. Our advertising friends will bear with us for one ipsue we are suro. J. S. II. Beatty writes to us on business, dating his letter " Duplin Bdads, W. W. P.. It." There is no such postofiice, aud hence we cannot reply to him, not knowing how. to direct our letter. Should this meet Mr. Beatty's eye, he is informed that his money never came to hand. We talio this occasion t request all persons writing tj us to name their posloffice, and all subscribers wishing their papers changed from one office to anoth er, to state the office from which as well as that to which the paper is to bo rent. A little attention to this matter will gave us many hours of labor, and se cure prompt attention to their requests.

Emtobs State Jocbnal : Wc have news from the. Tar River county this morning, to the effect that Gen. Ilill has completely beseiged Washington, N. Ci Our troops have the town thoroughly encompassed, the enemy hemmed in at every point and cut off from all communication both by land fand water oat troops having captured the enemy's batteries atllil) s, situated on the banks of the Tar River, seven miles below the town, which' position givea us an open field a foW fiirfct with the Yankee ishipbinB. should .they attempt to pass np the river with rebforcements for Washington. I learn, since writing the above, that two gunboats followed by several large transports loaded with troops from Newbern to reinforce Washington, at tempted to run by our blockade at Hill's Point, on day before yesterday, when tW were fired upon by our batteries, aad so badly damaged as to be forced to pat back. Toey could not pass our guns and at last accounts the enemy were landing troops below our wcrks at Hill's Point, but I' failed to learn on which side of the river they were landing. , Two flags of truce have been setit into Washington, by Gen. Hill; one demanding a surrender of the nlacft. and the other forewarninjr the women and children to leave the town without delay. The abolitionists preemptorily refused to accede to either proposition. Gen. Hill has not yet shelled Washing ton, but will doubtless do so very: soon, unless the Yankees surrender quickly. 'j. Cannonading has been heard in the direction of Washington at almost any time for; the last few days; but I learn that it is our troops engaging the enemy's boats along the river. ? i This news, if true, is important and I have no right to doubt.one word of it, for it comes from most reliable sources. : -:;" AUMI COKRESPONDEX IE STATE JOURNAL. Camp near Fbedebicksbtjbg, March 30th, 1863. J Messes. Editors : As I have noticed the Journal and several other North Carolipaj papers, and have seen nothing said about the 23rd i J. C. Regiment, I think it nothing but right' that something should be said, and if nobody else will say any thing, I will say a raw words myself, though I do net feel myself at all competent. . This regiment has-been engaged an most of the bat tles from Williamsburg to Fredericksburg. It was engaged in and suffered s .verely in the memorable battle of Seven Pines, in which its loss was terrible, Not less than 27 officers were killed , and wounded, while .the privates suffered in proportion." It was en gaged in the series of battles fought around Rich mond, likewise the memorable battles of Boonsboro' and Sharpsburg, in both of which its sufFeriugs were intense. 1 M f ! "Col. D. H. Christie, its noble'' commander, is a sol dier by education and practice, j and is noted for his bravery and the saperior discipline of his regiment. We are now on the South side of the Rappahan nock waiting for the approach of the ent my... All is quiet now, and as the sun pours'orth its brilliant rays upon our sunny soil, it seems like it would never be disturbed again by the roar of cannon or the sharp crack of the musket ; but we expect to have to mct the enemy again and to face the cannou's mouth. And if we do, we will do it trusting alone in Him who has always stood by us and been our shield.when danger was nigh. I 1 T. B. M. ' The Yoke of the People. We continue extracts from our private letters. A subscriber writing from Hooker ton, says: "I send you five dollars for your Weekly, and when that amount is expended give jme notice and I will respond to your call. I am anxious to see your paper sustained, and all other papers that will lay on upon old Buffaloe Holden, for I think he isone of tl worst enemies we have in North Carolina., He is the big Buffaloe, and I am in hopes he will meet with what he deserves some day." ; ? - Another subscriber writes us as follows from Bertie county: . -: " Enclosed you will find two dollars for which you "will please send your weekly, pa per to . I do not know the price of the Weekly. If this is not enough, I will send you the balance for the year. " I am a subscriber to your; paper, and a willing one at that. It is such a strong war sheet", and advo cates the freedom of the South in such a way, that it isor at least' ought to be, a vjfelcome visitor to all. tt I am trying to get all nt ai me to take it. Holden 's paper comes to this office ' thick and heavy.' "There is a certain Union man in this county who has done more harm to us in this section than all oth ers. He has bought a great quantity of cotton, and there is a report of his selling some of it to the Yan kees. He and Holden did correspond in regard to it. The substance of the correspondence I am not aware of. But there' is one thing certain, Holden and this man have done the Confederacy a great injury down here. Xhis man is speculating in all the necessaries of life. He has done much towards depreciating i ur currency. He has been a merchant ia Roxobel for some time, and consequently has some influence with the lower class of people. He has kept men here from joining the Confederate army, and caused them to join the "Buffaloes, i This cannot be proved. He was afraid to talk before Vance was elected Governor, but now, like Holden, he thinks the people will sanc tibn all he says. "Mr. Editor, this is not half. It is time his actions were looked into, j There are strong Southern men here who are afraid to move for fear he will send the Buffaloes against them (for we expect them daily.) Will you please call the attention of the authorities to things down here." We leavs the people and the authorities to ponder the foregoing, and for the present; we suspend our ex tracts. The voice cf the people shall be heard and as surely shall yet prevail. i j" j We conclude for to-day with tho -folly wing from a subscriber in Edgecombe : i 'j " If it is uot incompatible with the public interest, I would like to know who "An Original Secessionist" is. He rakes that abolitionfet;Holden just right." It is incompatible with tlie 'desire of " Original So cessicmst. t M ABSTRACT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES WAR TAX FOR THE STATE OF 1Y0RT1I CAROLINA TOR THE YEAR 1862. 00 C4 4 0 01 OS a a to to 1 o d Ox CO GO cn ox Ox Ox Ox Ox Ox Ox Ox t it.

The following sensible remarks, from the Lynch burg lie publican in connection with ainrstredicvtlous s nsattun story which has been afloat in this city for the last two or three days, we commend to ail who may have been timid enough to placp any reliance in it: There was an idio ru-mor atioat in our city yfestcr iay, to the effect that President pavis' was going to 1SSU3 a prwlamation announcing the evacuati0n of V ireinia as a military necessity growing cut of the scarcity of provisions. We hardly suppose that any" sensible man has giv?n a moments credence to such a senseless report. A moment's reflection will teach any one capable of being taught a single idea, that if the evacuation of irginiai was t a military necessity the President jvould have had 60 announce it in an official bulletin to our enemies and itis a not less self evident! proposition that to evacu- iH.ru wouki our armies go tor better supplies ? If toe provisions arc in Forth Carolina or Georgia thev can.-tie much easier transported to the Army of the ti can ie mucb easier; transported to the Army Y' tnan o army can be transported to the provisions. Besides,! to abanden Virginia on ac count of a lack of supplies would be to surrender all we have in Virginia at this time, and all we can promise ourself by the new crop of present summer, lo give np the most valuable agricultural couatrv in' the world to the devastation of tRe enemy would The a vcry-foolisfc Tray to feed our amies. 0 But the tamor is too filly a one to demand notice and we have merely alluded to it, because there are it great many silly people in the world, who can blow a bladder into a balloon of tremendous proportions. Virginia is not going to be evacuated fur any caqsc, and while there may be sume scarcity oi supplies in our ar:ny, it is simply because the necessary transpor tation has not been available for some time, '.and .! be cause the mode of execnting impressments for some " time has been such as to deter farmers : from sending forth their products to market. There ! ia plenty j in the country to feed our -armies until the new crop comes in, and enough of rnusclo in 6r army to whip the hosts of fighting Joe Hooker wherever that gal .lant Yankee may think'proper to ?ross the -Rait--bannock. - f ' :i . ' The cause of thebf caking of the bridge ia Rich- mond recently as the prisoner were marching over it, it is said torhavd been not their weight but the fact that they -were marching to music and keeping the step. Thij samething caused one of the strong- est iron bridges across the Loire in France to fall in 1855, with a regiment passing over! The regular tramp of a large number of men is the' most trying ordeal a bridge can undergo. Some suspension bridges have notices prohibiting the marching bt bodies of men to music across. The remedy is. to marcl? men across bridges in broken step. The same principle in marching is exhibited by ihe fly wheel. 1 Let n heavy fly wheel be a few pounds out of balance; and get rapidiy in motion" on the upper floor of a build ing, it will shake it down. 1 The Literary Board. 'j This Board met in this city on the 27th nit'., at the lxeen iive Office, all tlie-rnembers : and the General Superintendent of the Gmriion S h ols, being present. The Spring; distribution of $ 00,00'J was made to the several counties of the 8fate, and the Board adop U d measures, to'gnard and increase the Liic-Jiry Fnnd, to make it very efficient and availablo to the'impor- "tant iutercets for which it was founded. ' The B'ard unanimpnsly 'adopted auiutig "others the following, resolutions: Resolved, That this Board appreciating the condi tion of the country and, looking to the future history of this Commonwealthjdo hereby urge upon-atl Boards of St; perinteudents, School Committees awl our citi zens generally the absolute importance of on energetic acd jenerat effort to perpetuate and to increase id number and efficiency the common Ethods ;cf tho . -tate, and that they are called upon to give to, the General Superintendent their, warmest co-opemtidn. Resolved, That the funds of the Board under prop er management are ample, together with the School tax from the people, to furnish and, perpetuate in -every School district in the State, an efficient school for a good portion of the year ;: ; ; Resolved, That it is tho earnest desire of the Board, that the Boards of Superintendents and School Com mittees, shall annually expend. tie entire amonnt of School Fund to the credit of each County in keeping up the Schools, and that' they employ competent fe males as well as male teachers, and especially,' when it can bo done, wounded and disabled soldiers, at such ' prices a3 will reaumerate them for their scrriccs.
