1 regret llmt it it my duty to call

citizuns, who, intent upon the sordid
purposes of gam. nro taking advantage
of tho peculiar circumstances of the
times, to reap exorbitant profits from
the necessity * nt tho government und
tho wants of the people.
‘Com plain Is lmv« reached mo from
various portions • »f the Stato, of this
unpatriotic and destructive tendency to
extravagant speculation, placing every
article indispensable to tho support of
the army, ns well as the ordinary no-
cessaries of life, at prices far above
those warranted by the legitimate laws
of trade, and, in many cases, beyond
tho roach of tho more indigent classes
of society.
“Tho morchaut and tradesman, while
restrained within proper limits, nro ne
cessary and useful members of tin;
community, and, in common with eve
ry other legitimate pursuit, aro entitled
to the fostering euro ot tho Govern
ment ; but, wlton forgotful of their du

be so fur tomptod upon tho *c*a of spec

er than conveniences to the public, it
becomes your duty, ns the guardians of
that public, to adopt measures us will
best tend to restrain illegitimate and
improper speculation, and put down an
evil which is becoming so prevalent and
mischievous.
“In ordinary times, an outraged pub
lic sentiment and the laws of trado
would accomplish this end, but in times
of general distress and threatened dan
ger, when the Government Is involved
in war, and must sccuro, regardless of
price, whatever may bo necessary to
tho mnintcnnnco and comfort of our
patriotic and bravo countrymen who
have gone to the field, to uphold tho
rights and tho honor of their country,
and to defend tho lives and property
of tlds class, who are thus speculating
upon their privations and necessities,
the authorities cannot ho too vigi
lant in their efforts to restrain the
excesses of avarico, and protect socie<
tv against tho evils to which it is ex
posed.”
These timely remarks of Governor
Harris, wo are sorry to UelUve, remarks

tho infamy of treason to tho baseness

Kentuckv.—The advices from this

gle at any early day. Lincoln is pouring
in his troops by thousands from Che

mense Federal army, probably equal
to half of MeCicIl«n'«, is now congre
gated within, her borders. We observe
that, for tho most part, they come
from Indiana and Pennsylvania, nnd
that fact goes fur to relive our appre
hension for tho result. If one South

Wo hear of speculative movements
nnd a considerable advance in the price
demanded for the indispensable article,
salt. But we aro glad to see, also, judi
cations that tlm Hpeculator** are very apt
to “burn their fingers” with this com
modity at least.
The Abingdon Vn., Jtemnrrat of Us*
week announces that salt is still to be
obtained in considerable quantities at
the works near that place, at 30 cents
per bushel of 50 pounds. This seems to
be light weight, but those who have
tried it say that the salt is of superior
strength nnd excellence. Abingdon is
on the East Tennessee A Virginia Rail
road, and is of easy access by railroad
to nearly all parts of Georgia. We
presume that there is nt present some
uncertainty about obtaining quick
through shipments, us Government
freight engages a large part or the trans
portation facilities of the railroads ; but
shipments can doubtless bu effected in
largo quantities, if orders aro promptly
sent, before December.
The North Carolina papers announce
that energetic measures me in progicss
to commence the salt mamifrcturo on a
largo scale at Wilmington in that State;
that ono order sent tin Deep River by
tho Wilmington foundries was one hoi
dredtons of pig iron to o.ist Hugo pans
for evaporating the salt water. Wc arc
lod to believe that this enterprise will
verysoon bo in successful operation, and
on a large scale nt Wilmington.
Wo copied, tho other day, an account
ol extensive aming<nncnt* for manufac
turing salt on the coast of South Caro
lina, and we hear of similar enterpri
ses in Florida and elsewhere.
Wo advise consumers, therefore, to
use salt sparingly at present—-buy no
more than you need for tha present
occasion. It is the anticipation of a
speedy at d large demand, more than
any inadequate supply, that encour
ages speculators to buy up the article
nt such high prices. The homo manu
factories will soon he aide to fill large
orders ; corn is pi* lily, as well as sweet
potatoes anti other feed ; uiui hogs will
ho all the fatter and moro valuable if
well fed until Ji nunry, or even Februa
ry. Th etrue policy Vo think, is to
kill and cure at present only enough
into wants.— Columbus

How they Reached Cuba, ete.
For somo time fast, tho papers of
tho interior have been indulging in sly
hints, ns to tho wlicrebouts of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell, We havo hitherto
infMo no allusion to their movements •
but the causes which induced our reti
cence being removed, we may now,
without inuiscre.ion, narrste the fucts
of their embarkation.
The Commissioner* living resolved
to mako the venture of running the
blockude of Charleston, lifter tiuUUro
deliberation, selected for t lie experi
ment, the staunch and swift little stea
mer Theodora, which was, therefore,
:ot ready for sea with uli dispatch.—
Nte preparations having been comple
ted, they embarked a little before mid
night, on Friday, October llth. The
party of passengers who were starting
on this very uutiMiul and somewhat
hazardous trip, consisted of the follow
ig persons:
tint. J. M. Mason, of Virginia. Mr.
Mcfarhmd, (Secretary to Mr. Mason
lion. John .Slidell, of Louisiana, Mr
Slidell, Miss Mathilda Slidell, Miss
Rosiue Slidell, Mr. Kustis (Secretary to
Mr. Slidell). Mrs. Kusth, who is i
daughter of Mr. Corcoran, the Wash
ingtou banker new in Fort larfayette,
I'm. Le Mat, ol Louisiana, tlm inventor
of the grape shot revolver, utul two
or three other gentlemen, whom it
will he best, for the present, not to
met tints.
Tho night was pitch dark, mid
about midnight a light rain began tail
ing, which remit red the chance or
being detec ted by the b.eckuders ox
ccedingly slim.
At one o'clock on Saturday morning,
the hasty good byes, and God-*
yon's having been said, the call
tho Theodora wero loosened, and she
glided down tho harbor on her impor
tant tuiiflton. As tin* steamer pinsed
Fort Sumter, every light on hoard tvns
extinguished, and aw.tv she wont, right
through tho fingers ot the blockade
lar out at sea.
On the evening of tho llth sir
reached Nassau in safety, where, had
the opportunity beon a favorable ont
tho Commission mis would Imvo cli
embarked; but, on enquiring,
aceei'tallied that the English ste
connecting with that point, touched at
New Fork. However gratifying n sight
of Nmv York might l.nvo been under
other circumstances, the Commissioners
determined in toil instalico to forego
the pleasure.
So tho Theodora loft Nassau and
steamed away towards Cuba. On tho
16th inst., she arrived at Cordelias,
where tho Commissioners landed. The
news that n Southern steamer had ar
rived with Messrs. Mason and Slidell
on hoard, rvhioli was telegraphed from
Cardenas to Havana, was scarcely cred
ited at the latter place. But when,
on the I7tli lust., the Theodora couim
up tho harbor of Uavatm, displaying
tin* Confederate flag, the quays were
immediately thronged with thousands
of wonderiig spectators, and a most
cordial and enthusiastic i coopt ion was
given to the adventurous little craft.
Tim Yankees in Havana were, as a
nutter of course, much disgruntled at
the welcome given to the Theodora.
But, on thcotuer hand, tho ladies e,f
Havana prepared a splendid Confeder
ate flag for riie steamer, which was pre
son ted to the captain with appropriate
ceremonies. The ladies of Matan/.as,
also, took advantage of the chance to
send hither a 'splendid flag for the
Hampton Legion.
Tho .StcHiii-diip Columbia, T*
Charleston vessel, hut now in the armed
service of the S’ankees, was ut tie
tiir.o, in the harbor of Havana. Luck
ily, however, she was not ready to put
to sea. Her consort, the Keystone
State, had gone to New York with
.Southern steamer, loaded with n vali
hie 'freight of anils and miltiiti*. ns,
and wkieh, unfortunately, had been
captured, while endeavoring to make
the run to Tampa, Fla.
So the Theodora left the frien»!iv
port of Havana unmolested, and with
a freight of coffee, sugar, saltpetre, sul
phur, adds, lead, iron, shot, block tin,
etc., ran quietly ill , we won’t saj
were—bringing a number of Charlesto
ttiutiK, who had reached Havana from
Southampton, about tho suite time the
Theodora made her iinpeiiriuic».

ANOTHER GALLANT FIGHT.
Ckntkrvii.i.e, Oct. 3U.—One of tho
most gallant lights that have tak
place hero is that which followed the
battle of Leesburg. On Tuesday morn
ing; the 13tlt Mississippi Regiment,
Col. Barksdale, encountered a force of
3,5110 Lincnluitcs, advancing in line of
battle towards Leesburg from Edward's
Ferry. Ho immediately threw out
skirmisht-is. and soon after engaged
tlm entire force, numbering six to one,
and drove them into their entrench
ments with a loss of more than forty
killed and wounded on theii sido. Tlm
shot and sh«*ll played fiercely upon the
Mississippians during the light, which
lasted three quarter* of an hour. Our
lq»s was Lieut. Fulkinrund private
Simons killed, and several slightly
wounded.
Colonel Bifkiidale now holds tho eno-
my in check.
Auuista, Get. 31.—The Charleston
Courier of to-day has a special dispatch
from Richmond, which says that after
the battle at Lechburg, tho 13th Mis
sissippi Regiment iiicoui.lerid 3,500
Lincoliiitus advancing towards Lees
burg from Edward's Ferry. Col. Barks
dale drove them into tlieir entrench
ments, killing and wounding more
than forty.
Tho Confederate loss is Lieut. Fulk-
nor and private Simons, killed, and
several wc.it ided. Col. Barksdalo is

collide* are this ride ol Ri.ek Castle
River, and Imd received large roinfor
ments.

loss ot 23 killed nnd many wounded.
Our loss was onckillod and u few woun
ded.
Our forces and Ilia enemy’s are in
sound ef each others drums, nnd
sharp skirmishing occurs every day.
Gen. Floyd is well posted on and
near to Cotton Hill; hut having to
guard five important ferries,, his force
is too much divided to make an efleet•
ivo attack mi the enemy, A rumor of
nn important battle between him and
RoscucnuiU recently, U believed to be
unfounded.

THE RESIGNATION OF GEN. WM.
II. T. WALKER.
Richmond, Oct. 31.—Tho Richmond
Whig of this morning, publishes the
correspondedoe between Brig. Gon, W
11. T, Wwiser and the .Secretary of
War, relative to tho resignation of tho
former. Gen. Walker, says that ho has
boon over slaughed by tho appoint
ment over him of young officers whom
he ranked in the old service. He says
that the Government, not content with
nutting his own countrymen over him,
brought from New York Gen. Lovell,
who wus un officeholder in that dty at
the time when the buttle of Manassas
was fought, mid made him a Major
Uctierul over .Southern men ; mid to
cap the climax, General Walker’s brig
ade has been taken from him, nnd one
of his junior Colonels made a Briga
dier General,
Gen. Walker ecncltules his letter by
saying. ‘ One would have supposed
tlmt mi Executive, who Imd himself
been a soldier, would have scorned to
wound tho sensibilities of nti old nnd
tried soldier. The sucrod cause for
which l drew my sword, I will tight for
in my native State; but 1 will not eon-
ilescnd to submit any longer * to the
insults and indignities of the Execu
tive.
The .Secretary of War replies that it
is due his selt respect to remark on the
impropriety of Brig. Gen. Walker
using tho Wav Department for convey
ing disrespect fill und insulting com
ments on the action of the President
of thu Confc'leruev. lie says that the
President's scle otllcnre consists in not
selecting Gen. Walker to be a Major
General; that there is no question of
promotion involved in appointing gen
eral officers—the law expressly vesting
the appointing power in the President;
mid umt thero is no disparagement to
any officer whatever, or to his services,
that the President prefers another ns a
Division C'oiiunundcr. Gen. Walker's
resignation is accepted.
Tiiu General, replying to the .Secreta
ry of War's roiiinrks about self-respect,
says that the War Department is the
proper military channel through which
lo convey his resignation ; and Hint the
present acting Secretary of War, in
consequence of his short sojourn in
that department, is ignorant of tlmt
fact.
1 lie threo lettm mo spicy, and will,
doubtless, ho read with unusual inter
est throughout the country.
