Congress passed yesterday a substitute for the original bill offered by Mr. Foote, of Tennessoe, to authorize the destruction of cotton, tobacce, and other property in military emergencies. ' We have obtamed the (ollowing copy of the bill as finally passed:— A MILL TO PROVIDE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF COTTON, TORACCO, AND OTHER PROPERTY, WIEN TH SAME SHALL BE ADOUT ‘TO FALL INTO THK HANDS OF THR ENEMY: Bo it enacted by the Congross of the Confederate States of America, That it shall be tho duty of all military commanders iu the service of the Confederate States to destroy all cotton, tobacco, or other proporty, that may be useful to the enemy, if the same cannot be safely re moved, whenever, in their judgment, the said cotton, tobacco, and other property is about to fall into the hands of the enemy. ‘The following clause was struck out of the original bill ‘on @ motion to amond:— The owners thereof shall receive just compensation therefor from the Confoderato government, under such jaws and regulations as may hereafter bo established by Congress. It will be seen that the question of the compensation of owners of the property destroyed is cut off; but it Is understood that it is not positively determined by this special act, and may, of course, bo the subject of future legislation. ‘The amount of cotton liable to destruction, "tt is said, cannot amount to much more than five per cent of the entire crop. The great buik of it 1s atill on the plantations, or at distant villages and depots, far removed from the ene- my’s armios or gunboats, The same may be said of to- bacco. Removal of the crops is, of course, in all cases, preferable to burning; and at all exposed points arrange- ments should be set on foot to remove the produce at the first intimation of danger. COTTON AND TOBACCO. (From the Day Book, March 6.) A firm, unwavering and unalterable determination on the part of the coverninent aud people of the Confqderate States to consign to the devouring elomont every pound of cotton or tobacco which may be in danger of falling into tho hands of the thieving Yankees, is calculated to produce a moral effect upon the world, which at thi= time can hardly be appreciated. A people resolved to be free, and. to maintain their national integrity at all hazards, whoth- er they involve the logs of life or of property, have al roady struck a blow at the enemy which subsequent dis- asters can never counteract. No better evidence of tho spirit of resistance which animates the hearts of the Southern people ip this contest can be afforded than the 1eties | when uecessar y, of spies nee upon ‘ch, to a great extent, tho prosperity of the most pow- oriui uationgor the earth depends, Lat the kingdoms of Europe be convinced that even In the improbable eveat of Southern subjugation by the Lincoln despotism, their commercial and manufacturing interests are to be prostrated, and all hopes ef reliéf to their star. ving millions, based upon tho reconstruction of the American Uvion, will vanish for ever. No states- man has ever yet imazined, that auy considerations but those of interest, would move the sovereigns of Europe tothe recognition of the Confederate States. We have reason to belleve that the Lincola government has thus far suecee:led in inducing the manufacturing countries of Europe to absiain from active interference in American affairs, by promises of an early supply of tho raw mate- rial. Deluded by fa'se representation of the ability of federal armies to seize cotton and tobacco, and open Southern ports to the commerce of tho world, inefficient and irregular blockades have been unwillingly tolerated by the maritime Powers. The tone of the Northern press indicates the.earnest desire of that govornment to foster such an impression, and an intonge anxiety to realize the expectations thus created. To this end, gigantic and desperate efforts are being mado, and the recent disasters to Southern arms have flattered the san- guine Yankees into a minute calculation of the extent of their expected success. But therr jubilant shouts will bo turned to wails of despair, by tue flerce determination of an indomitable peop! Ry frighttui eifusion of blood, it is within the range of possibility, that some of the ports of the South will be in the temporary possession of the enemy, but not one bale of cotton, or one hogshead of tobacco will ever leave those ports under Yankee auspices. By a criminal nog- lect on the part of the planters at Port Royal, a small quantity of cotton was suffered to fall into the bands of the vandals. Yt is probably tho last they will got; for such folly will not be re-enacted. In future a heap of ashes will mark the scones of their intended ptunder. A few conflagrations of Southern staples in the face of the equal fo ag Wenn fntna= YY Urmewau- of cotton ports will not feed atives of Great Britain and France. But ht other- enemy, would be more thi rato victories. “The open’ tho starving o-*, of cotton and tobacco which mi to the hands of the enemy, may mind the dynasties of Furope of the truco which they siand to the new republic. GOVERNOR BROWN’S COTTON LETTER. Tho Governor of Georgia has published @ letter to dis- ton during this year:— Exgcuti MILEPGEVILLe, Ga., Hon. Livtow Srarmene:—- Dear Sin—I have the honor to acknowlotgo the receipt of your letter, in which you ask my views, for publica- tion, “upon the necessity of greatly increasing our next provision crop, and lessening or dropping our cotton crop.” While T do not suppose the country will attach any very great impor'ance to my views upon this ques tion, it is one of such vital importance that I cannot hesi- tate'to comply with your request. Tam of the op'nion that wo have more to fear from (hoe production of cotton this year than from any other dis- advantage under which we labor in our struggle for liberty and independence. - As we can import supplies of provisions, neither from the ¢1 y's country nor from forcign nations, we have to depend upon the productions of our own territory for all he provisions necessary tosupply our peo fo at heme, including our slaves,and sustain our armies in the fleld. ‘The crop of the past year was abunia:t for all these purposes; but it must not be forgotten that wo had in our possession a large portion of Kentucky and all of Tenherroo, which ia the great grain protacing portion of the confeleracy, and from which the army supplies have been chietly drawn. Most of Kentucky is now overrun by the enemy, and they have control of a large portion of Toonessce. We stil! bave tho magnificent valley of Duek river; but vast sacrifices will 69 made, if necessary, hy the onomy, to compel us to withdraw’ our forces from this most productive region, Show this effort bo sue- coxsful, wo cannot rely another year on either Kentucky ‘or Tonnessee for provisions. It would probably be very difficult for any che to suggest a plan by which, with the present abundant crop, very heavy portion of which ‘was cotton,ourarmy could have been subsinted this year without the productions of thoge two States. With the army which we now have in the fold, and the reinforcements which weare able to bring in very soon,and which are boing enlisted for the war, we can confine ourselves within the limits of the cotton and tobacco States, which should raise only grain, and defy the combined Union forces for years to come, if wo can furnish the army with the necessary supply of pro- visions. Butour men cannot fight unless we can fest themand supposs their families at home. Has the God of Nature bi us with the means of doing this? Un- quostionably He has, if we do not abuse and pervert this bleasing. ‘there are productive lands enough in the cot- ton States, now in & high state of cultivation, to supply every demand of the poople and tho army, and slaves enough to cultivate them, and make all the provi- sions we need, whilst almost tho entire white male population, subject to military duty, can be ‘laced under arms against the common foo. This, Rowever, js imposs die, if our lands aud our labor are firat to bo taxed with the production of four millions of cotton bags, whichwe can neither eat mor exchany during the blockade for provisions to sustain life. The crop of the past yoar ia estimated, I bolieve, at about that number of bags. This is now on hand,and is not wmitted to find its way to market. Why pile four mil- Fons of bags more upon ft? and thus tempt the enemy to greater efforts to conquer us, that he may be able to plunder us of a richer prize. If the land amd labor re- quired to produce this amount of cotton are used for the Production of provisions, i 18 no diiflcult ea'culation to show that.we can sustain ourselves plentifully without the products of Tennessee or Kentucky. This, however may be doubtful if one million or over half @ million of cotton bags are preduced. It is very clear to my mind, therefore, that the liber. ties, property and all that is dear to the people of the South, are suspended upon the action of the cetton prun- tere for the noxt ix wocks. If they pl the usual cotton crop, my honest convictions are, we are in groat danger of being conquered, not for want of armeor mon to use thom (wo can get enough of both, weluding pikes, side knives, &e., to moot the crisis), but for want of ‘provisions. If we piaut no cotton crop, but put ail our lands and all our Javor to the production of rain, our supply will bo abundant, and our troops, well fed, will be strong and courageous, opposing te the hoavy edlumns of the tyrant’s army a Dulwark of stout hearts and strong arms, as impregnable as the rock of Gibraltar. No class of our society is 80 wealthy and powerful a8 the cotton planters, and no other class lias a8 much at stake, None is more patriotic. I would appeal tothem. therefore, by every ineentive to patriotism, and by every rootive of interest, to pause and reflect upon the vast responsibility which they are about to incur. ‘When their country is overrun, the armies gonq ed, their property confiscated, thejr ehiidron od and degraded, and they made“ hewers of wood and drawors of water’? to an ingplont vandal hordo, at wuat Yalue will thoy thenstima€S their cotton crops + ‘But suppose the in crep to be of little importance, what will be the value of tho cotton crop im 1862? If we have two crops on hand when tho blockade is removal, foreign speculators will bo aware of the abundant supply, and tie Prices will be put down to a low figure. Suppose, however, we liave on ‘only the fvrers of the World come inte gompetition ae bit. dare for it, all the probabilities are, that it would br: ‘very agerly, i not quiteas mucb, as te crop of years it be worth in one mouth? Most probably not ten dollars money to be made tothe wrod ition of the — to the planter by the production Por hundred. There ts, therefore, in But if the war conti ‘isions of all kinds must inues provi ‘be high, and the grain crop will, in all probability, om: usu mand more clear money to the planter than the cotton crop, Shouid the planter divest himself of ever; patriotic impulse, and view the question as one of dol- and cents, it would seem to be clearly his interest to feed his cotton soed to his cattie, aud plant every acre of his land, except what is necessary to clothe himself and family, in grain, of such vegetabies as aro uselul in rais- ing stock or aa mst life, We should piant at {sast double the usual crop of In dian corn, as this is tho most important qrain crop. We should also plant a very large potato crop, especially tho yam. General Marion and his men, when other pro- visions failed, lived on thoge, and fought freedom’s bi tes, in defiance of Engiand’s or Willions of bushels of them can bo raiaed with comparatively little labor, Ifwe can get nothing better, as long ‘as we can got these, if wo have the patriotism and courage of our an. We will set the power of the Lincoludospotiam at . Weshould also plant three times the usual crop of beots, turnips, peas, &e. Ti all valusb! ‘ag ‘00d for man, and may be made of great tility in rais- ing the stock necessary to make our meat, Each piauter should give especial attontion to his sto k of hogs, cattle and other domestic animals used for food, With plenty Of grain and vegetables we can raise all tho meat needed, and we can raise the grain if we drop the cotton crop The only question is, will we do it? If we do not, in my opinion, we are ruined. If we do, our cause is triumphant, I speak plainly. There is no use in attempting to doige the issue. We have to moet it. Woare in the midst uf a revolution of the most gigantic character recorded in history. To sustain ourselves we have to put forthailour enorgics. It is time our people were awake, and ba} con- sidered the magnitude of the contest, and the momentons consequences which hang upon the result, Weare to be in the futhre the most wealthy, independent aud prosper- 0u8 poops on the earth, or we are to be the most abject dogradod and dependent subjects, ruled with « roof fron, And I must bo excused ‘for repeating, that whether we are to be the one or the other, dope ds more upon the action soon to be had by our cotton pianters than upon any other physical cause. If I could impress upon them my own feelings of tho importance of their action, aud tho consequences whieh must follow, I am persuaded they would hold public meetings in every county, discuss this question,and ar- rive at tho patriotic and noble resolution to plant not one acre of cotton beyond what is necessary to clothe our People, but to make the provisions necessary t sustain all at home, and to afford an abundant sup}'y to the army. I know how difficult it is for those who have quietly purgned @ particular ayocation aud hive beon ‘successful and prosperous, to obtain their own consent to a change. Woe should yield, however, to nocersity. Tetno man say, because his neighbors con- clude to plant a little, if any, that it ia on that account bis interest to plant more than usual, as tho demand will be greater and tho price better. This isa selfish and unpatriotic view of the subject. He who is not willing to contribute his part, and to sisiain his pro- portion of the cost of our freedom, is unworthy to enjoy it, and if he will endanger it for a fow dollara he doserves to lose the confidence and respect of his noighbors and his countrymen, T am aware that wo are all the time flattered with tho hope that England and France will soou interfere and raise the blockade. England and France will act accord- ing to their own interest. They aro suftering greatly on account of their short supply of cotton, and would gladly see our ports thrown open, but they are vory reluctant to engage in a war with tho Lincoln government. They foar the confiscation and loss of the jarge amounts of capital invested by their own Subjects in railroads and other im- provemonts North, and they fear the federal gunboats and merchant maring lot loose as privatcers to pkmder their richo**amerce, True, they could dyly¢ DON a aiareicen. bommerce from tho seas, but their own must suffer ter- ribly while they are doing it. They hesitate to choose botweon this evil and the short supply of cotton, and the temporary interruption of their commorce, ‘The Stitesmen of those nationg are ablo and far soeing. They aro informed of all that materially affocts their i ts in this country. If we plant a cotton crop they now it. They will be informed of our loss of the granarios of the West, anit they wiil naturally calculate that we cannot make & cotton crop and grain onovgh to feed our armies another yoar, and that we must be con- qnered by starvation. Satisfy them of this, and thoy will roasouably couclude that it is their interest to ford their operatives a year without labor in their fuctorics rather than incur the expense and losses of # war with the Lincoln government. Sup: oso, towever, we plant no cotton, and they are informed, as they wi'l be, of this fact. they will at once seo that it 1s our determination to make our own supply 0/ provia.ong, and they know our ability to do it, and to Protract the war while we can food our armies. They will algo see that the entire failure of the cotton crop, till the end of tho war, leaves them without the prospect. of asuppiy within any reasonable time. In this state of the caso they will naturally determine that their interest Prepondoerates on tho side of intervention to broak a blockade which is ineffectual, and therefore in violation of the rules of international law, which they have estab- lished for tho government of their own conduct. It does sem tome to be the utmost folly for us to expect foreign Powers to interfero to break the blockade, while we continue to produce an abundant supply of cotton, which all foreign Powers know must soon be por- mitted to reach them, through the governmens of our masters, on account of our inability {o defend our righis for want of provisions to 8ust%in our armies. Surely, no true pati in the Southern States, who con. tomnplates for & mont the magnitude of the issues in- yYoived. Qnd the disastrous consequences which must no- cossarily follow the production of a cotton crop in 1863, to tho neglect of xrtia, can hesitate one meinentto determine that he will plant Suly erm and vegetables, which wili sustain humau life, and help to maintain our galiant, self-eacriticing troops in the fold, If this is done, we will continuo to bid defiance to our haughty and now ju- dilant foo; if It is not done, our banners must trail in tho vat. and wo mist ingloriously bow so the tyrant’s rod. = ‘Adighbor, Sat Jet each plaater feel that society is mialé up of tS compor parte, that he is ono of these parts, and that upon hm | dividual conduct depend t) momentous reat It would seem to bo impossible for the Lincvin government to sustain the war moro than auother year on tho magnificent and costly scale upon which it has beon commenced.

Heuce, the credit of tho goverament must fail, and with Ue proatrat ita credit its military operations must cease. Their ouly hope is to conquer us during the year, and take ail our property to pay the vast debt, which they never expoct to be able to pay, and to indemnity them for thoir exertions in subduing us. If we planta cotion crop, and fail in our aupply of provisions, thay willreslize their hopes, and the planter must lose not cotton, bat bis plantation, with all bis other and the libertics of himseit and bis posterity. Can it bo'porsib'o that any intelligent patriot wil! be frailty of the mariness and folly (not to say disloyalty to our cause) of contributing to the ruja of his country for the mere chance of adding a few dollars to his fortune, Lat him who persiets, u these circumstances, in the culture of cotion this year, and, with a view to larger profits, refuses to do all im his power to produce a supply of provisions for enothor year, beware lest impartial his- tory should hoid him as justly obnoxious to the charge of disloyalty to the South as it docs the distiller, who, for money, is destroying the crop of the past yeu ui leay ing sldiors’ wives ud children to cry for bread, white he converts it into strong drink, with which our armies are demoralized, our eficers disgraced, and our soldiers degraded.

Jn consequenco of the interruption of the mails from Now Orleans we have not laid before our reads some. lato proofs of the entire inofliciency of the Lincoln block- ade. Within one weok two steamers, laden with muni- tions of war, coffee, morchandiso, &c., entored Confede- bers ports in that vicinity, and four more have passed out. ‘The steamers which ran in were the Victoria and the Miramon, both from Havana—both inoffectually pur- sued by the blockaders—euch of which brought 25,000 pounds of powder and a uumber of rifles. ‘Tho trip of the Victoria was a very eveniful one, assho encountered a severe norther which almost foundered her, damaging her machinery so badly that her final es cape seomed almost providoutial. Escaping this danger sho ran in the track of somo federal cruisers, Dot, berning hard ooal, making mo stucke, sho’ managed to elude’ them, thongh finally discovered, as after events proved. She sailed on tho ‘Ith of February, and on the night of tho 12th approached her destination, which was Fort Livingston, below Now Orleans. ‘The water being very, shoal, aiid dhe boat heavily laden, sho struck on the bar, sbout two or threo miles distant from the fort. Hore she remained until next morning at cight o'clock, when a Yankee armed veasel bore down rapidly upon her ,-unitil about oI 118 distant, where she stuck, and commenced firing shot and sholl at the Victoria, which diversion she indulged in from eight o'clock A. sunt hallpast five P. M., firing in all shots from rifled guns, at that short range, only three of which struck. One shoil penetrated a bag of coffee, above the powder stowed in tho hold, to within two inches of the kegs, but did not burst. Had it done go, that powder would nover havo served to entertain the Yaukec invaders, as it now will, The passengers and crew took to the boats and escaped to the fort, two miles distant, whore they wore kindly received by the oflicers of the fort. At 54 P.M. the enemy's boat suddenly rotired but returned at daylight with two others of lighter draught; ‘but during the night, by the use of lighters, the Vitoria was taken in with her cargo under tho gunsof the fort. ‘The vessel was saved by an attack from launches by the action of the oflicers of tho fort, who sent sovonty- five men with a forty-two-pounder to the beach oppcsite to prevent it. Ths gun used was a Revolutionary briss piece, with the thirteen stars upon it. The Miramon was also chased but not fired upon, escap- ing in the fog from hor pursuer. 'e derive this information from Edwin De Leon, Esq., former oditor of the Souhern Hress, who camo as bearer of despatches from Europe, where he has been actively co- operating with the Commissioners since the commence- ment of the war. Mr. De Leon was also accompaniod by his wife, who has thus proved that cven tender women can brave the hazards of tho Yankee b! THE REBEL FEARS FOR WELDON. {From the Richmond Examiner, March 7.)
