SOUTMERN WISDOM VERY MUCH PUZZLED ON THR QUESTIONS OF RECRUITING AND SUPPLYING THE ARMY, AND OF CREATING A REVENUE AND ESTAB- LISHING A CURRENCY. {From the Richmond Examiner, Feb. 17.] Although we are arrived at the middle of Fobruary, Congress 13 all at sea in t's actin and opinions on the wij ect ‘J taxation. Legislation upon the taxes involves the rettlement of the currency, and thrs two of the great difficulties of the crisis are as yet untouched. ‘The wisdom and patriotism of Congress and the coun try find themselves confronted by four vital and perple: ing problems ; Hrst, the question of men for the army ; sec- ond, the question of supplies; third, the question of revenue; and fourth, tha! of the currency, The first of these great problems {# in rapid process of solution; we shail soon have arwies sufficiently siroug to meet the enemy ou every field, The qvesion of avpplies is more digiouit, but there ts little doubt that supplies will appear from some source or other a& they are required tts very probable that if General Lee will establish come di rect comminication between himself and the people, and get rid of the swarm of intermediaries who harry the country and really intercept from the armies the supplies which Would be willingly forwarded to them, much of the present restriction in the commissariat would disap- pear. These subjects lie more within the sphere of the military author.ties than with Congress, The great business of this body is with taxation and revenue, and as yet nothing bas been done on th #e im- portant subjects. The demands of the Treasury for the calendar year upon which we have just entered are very heavy. They may as well be candidly stated, for it is always best to look our liabilities pjainly in the face, Shutting one’s eyes upon them was never known to diminish or to exorcise them.

Dildes ; for it must be recollected that since the month of November iast the currency. hus miterially deprect ated; and that an estimate on that day for six hundred millions of dotiars is not likely to embrace the actual ovat of the war under the sul nent depreciation. It is difficult to conjecture at thin st of the debate what precise measure Congress will fell upon to meet this sand millions of annual expenditurc, The ma- jority of the Finance Committee of the House have re- ported the following scheme of taxation and estimate of receipts from otuer sources :— Ten per cent tax om three billions of property, - posed now to be held in the Confederate States, within Teach of assessors and collectors... . $800,000,000 Tax on incomes, trades, professions, 160,000,000 including specific taxes,.... paid incurrency aud certificates of indebtednew.... ee eeee senses « 450,000,000 government of the tax tn kind credit for which to be repealed,.,... 140,000,000 certi it to be created by law, ‘ita, in new officers of de bar mn on hand, owned by the Third—From sale of government, for ‘ie or abe bills. Whatever may be the demerits of this scheme of reve- nue, the principal objection urged Leaves is wholly antonable—to wit envy ® vate of taxation.
