To His'Excetlencie Prudent Da*: My Din Sta—After a careful consider , of all the sources of discontent in North Carolina I have conclnded that it will be impossible to remove it, except by making. some effort at negotiation with the enemy. The recent action ;of the Fed• eral House of Representatives, though meaning very little, has greatly excited the public hope that . the Northern mind. is looking toward peace. I cis premised by all men who advocate this course . that if fair terms are rejected it willtend great ly to strengthen and intensify the war feeling, and will rally all classes to a more cordial support of the Governtient. And, although our position is welt; known as demanding only to be let alone, yet it seems to me that for the rake i of human ity, without having any weak or improper. motive* attributed to us we might, with propriety, constantly tender negotiations: In doing so we - would keep conspicuously before' the world a disclaimer :of • our re sponsibility for the great slaughter of our race, and convince the humblest of our citisens—who sometimes forget Mir actual situation—that the Government is tender of their lives and happiness t land would not prolong their sufferings ahnecoassrily one moment. Though statesmen might regard this as useless, the people will not, and I think our cause 'blight Mt strength ened thereby. I have not suggested 'the method 'of these riegatiatinni or their terms. The effort .- to'obtain peace is the principal matter. _ . • I' MUMS. NUTS, - Allow me tobeg your earn' est'oonsideram tontion of this suggestion. ' Very reapec - trail; Yours. Z,13, Votes. Dias Sia—l have received your letter of the 30th ult., containing suggestions of the measures to be adopted for The pur pose of renioving the " source of dirion tent" in ' North Carolina. The contents of the letter are substantially the lame as those of the letter addressed by you to Senator Dortch, extracts of which were by him read to me. I reinarked to Dortch that you were probably not aware of the obstacles to the course you indica ted, and, without expressing an opinion on the merits of the proposed policy, I desired him, in answering your letter, to write suggestions as to the, method of opening negotiation!, and as to the terms which you thought should be offered to the enemy. I felt persuaded you weold appreciate the difficulties as some; your attention was called to the nec!ssity of considering the subject in detail., Awn have made , no suggestions touching the manner of overcoming the obstaeles,;l in fer .that you were not apprised by Dona of my remarks to him. , • Apart from insuperable objeetions to thb of policy you• propeice - taind to which I will presently -ad vert)-T !I , ll:ittot see bow the more' material obsticles are to, be surmounted. We have made tFrew distinct efforts to communicate with the authorities at Washington, and have been invariably unsuccessful. Commissioners were sent before hostilities were begun; and the Washington . ern men t 'refused to receive them or bear what they haci to say. A second time I sent a military offi cer with a cointaunication addressed myself to President Lincoln. The letter. was reoeived by General Scott, who did not permit the officer to see Mr. Lincoln, hut promised that an answer, Would be sent. do answer has ever been received.

There has been no fluctuation in the price of that Metal, but there has ten a very great vr . nation in the vain of the paper money floated by the government and the banks. The production of gold 'and its non-use as currency in the-United States for the last ' two years may have cheapened it a trifle in tbe - tharkets of the world, but the ac tual variations in the etiolate nine 'of gold for the last ten years are among t h e fractions of one per cent. These charts, therefore,. which represent gold as waiving up and down a line between one and two hundred, are worthless. While the, sun appears to go around the earth, it is really the eirth which it going around the sun. Our present system of quotation is most strously deceptive_ In California they dir much better, as there the , paper ith - as it should be, 'voted at a discount. • It this were dens, it would be much more boned, tad would-cure people of many delusion. Man who now think they are worth one hundred thousand dollars would be con- • etantly reminded (if the.apparent pre. mium on gold remained at ninety) that they were redly in possession of only fifty', three du:inane dollars of real money, white emPkoYes• in receipt of one thousand' ip;eenback dollars per ,azusuni would know that their actual inpoin,. was only five hundred and thirtfidolleri.-- When the day of reckoningau; as nine it mind, the whole country i w dbe saved bitter dileppointatent ifpeople realised . day by' day, that. instead of ghtting;richer were really getting poorer. One of the' delusions of the hour, for instance, is teat bur national aecurities•are fiont eleven to, thirteen 'per cent. above ,43 - itr. when real= ly they are somewhere in 3l a eixties.with gold at its present apparent. rPrindutu: It is a mortifying fact, but it is a fact. that the yet-to-be-crowned Emperor of Mexico —this puppet potentate forced upon an unwilling 'people by foreign -bayonets— has just negotiated a loan with, the bank ers of London end Paris at better terms than the great republic of the United Stated could get. The new Mexican Inn was , taken at sixty-three. hfr Chase would do well if he could get sixty; " But we suppose it ie useleis tb try . tb im duce the country .to rotten its steps. We 'are given over "to:feigns', to believe! a lie," for 'the present, end we elk not realise the truth until pay-day romes, and. the ghastly fact of our, real poverty' becomes so apparent that the eayfarint though a fool, cannot be mistaken. • A Naas° li"sceur or vas attn.—The La. -Crosse (Wisconsia) lkoicrat, a phut* Worst 'they hare lately been• drafting, says:— "Amongthe eictima of the draft in this city was Sam; a graceful inotloued Contra. bsirsd - , Who was given leave Li Lem the South last spring and become a free man ' "up Norfl" Early in the spring be did ichores,at the Harrington house ..

What It vie Cod. Throop, of Utica, in his book upon "The Future," enters into a• calculation that Will set thinking men to thinking a little more earnestly, Under , the subju. EstialH . policy of Administration he supposes that we must keep hp'an army of at least 300,000 men,. and ,a nevy,cost ins at least $50,000,000 annually. • The estimate for the navy for the year '64 and 65 is over $142,000,000.„ The lowest calcu lation for the cost of the army is $216,- 000,111. He calculates, that it will .cost $100,111,000 to' pay 5 per cent,. interest on the nation's!' debt of $2,000.00 . 0,000; and $50,000,004 for the civil service and "mis cellaneous expenses. "these figures loot up $416,000,000 as the . whole amount of 'the annual expeoditure bulb(' future, on the subjugation, emanCipittion basis of the praseht Admiuistratiop„ This, he . finds, upon calculatiou, cent, upob e the whole taxable property. of the countrz, as it,existed before the war broke - out, in cluding sieves. To' this is to be added the local taxation of the States, swollen to an enormous amount by the heavy kowedies, and he calculates that both togethev, at the North, will he a tax, of s,per cent. upon the whole taxable property. The Secre tary of the Treasury e7timates that the income bf the Government for the fiscal . year to wine will be $201;000,600. This is exclusive of luaus. This incoma - only is obtained at the present filmy rates of Federal taxation: But an income of $416,000,000 is more than double the amount calculated for this year, and, of a necessity, to realise this amount we must more than double the present rates of Federal taxation. ;IOW!
