He ar- gues the necessity for this course, presenting the porsible scarcity of provisions. Me recommends that fur- tner restrictions be put upon the distillation of spirits, so as to prevent the use of pota- tows, peas and dried peaches for that purpose. He opposes the endorsement of the bonds of the Confede- rate States by Georgia as calculated to impair the confi dence of capitalists and injare the credit of the State at home aod abroad.
