r Courier : Yesterday it rained
all day, and a considerable part
time very hard. For this roa"
1 though ordered to be ready to
i at 7 o’clock a. m., the Brigade
tied at its bivouac until this mor-
It was a most disagreeable day,
ns well ns rainy, and with a mode-
high wind. Wo had no drills,
nothing of particular interest oc-
id in our immediate vicinity. It is
rted that a portion of our cavalry,
ir tho command of Gen. Stewart,
tho advanced scouts of the
»y nnav Warventon Junction, and
killing sovoral, took seventeen
ors. On our side none u
d, and only one slightly wound-
and quite as good in appearance as the
best class seen in towns. Thoy gene
rally stand three or four hundrod yards
from the road, and in tho beautiful
flowor yards, thoro are hot houses'
All things indioato great woaltli and
refinement.
It is now 1 o’clock, and wo have
marched only seven miles, now being a
mile north of the bridge over Rapidtn
River, and four miles from Orange C. H-
Wo have been at our present resting
place about an hour, waiting for a
bridge to be built or repaired.
Tho bridge over the Rapidan is quite
a novel affair, improvised for the occa.
It is at a ford in the river, the
water now being loss than three feet
deep at any piaee. The bridge is eon'
struoted by placing a number of wag- 8inca '
ons, with tho bodies taken off, in a line
across tho stream, and so near each
other, that plank will reaoh from one
to the next, and these planked over
constituted the bridgo.
The futiguo of the march is occasion
ally relieved by music, from the excel
lont Brass Band belonging to tho 8th
Georgia Regiment, which, by the way,
is tho only Brass Band in the Brig
ode.
4 o'clock P. M.—Wo havo halted for
tho nigiit a mile and a half North of
Orange 0. H., having marolied 0 miles
to-day. The men are now all as “busy
as bees,’’ in cutting wood, building
fires, bringing water, making preparo-
tionsfor getting something to eat, where,
untothe days labor strongly invites them
and scraping together loaves for
bed.
Tho Regiments appear quite small on
this march. The members regularly in
ranks being only 250 or 300 to each
But besides this number, there is a do
tail of about 150 from each Regiment,
for front, rear and wagon guards. The
men are not compelled to keep in their
regular places in ranks, and, to one at
a distance, they look like a drove of
men. M. D.
do not lay the unction to your soul,
by saying they must also have moat
and bread—that they will get without
your help, if it is in tho land. There
nro now too many dabbling in them
for our good, and wo pray you leave
these things to take the regular course
of trade, and give us consumers a
chance for our lives. If you must bo
busy, go to work and help your coun
try, if not by going to .war, then by
preparing munitions for those who
havo gono.

bacon could be bought out of the wa
gons on tlio streets for 18 to 20 cents
At this time the same game is being
played on bacon, which was effectual
in putting up the price of wheat and
When whoat was selling in
Rome for $1.00, a speculator came to
this placo and gavo for a largo lot he
found hero $1.50. Wheat immediately
rose to that figure and ten cents be
yond, in tho hands of speculators.—
Whon corn was soiling here at fifty
cents, persons started out in tho coun
try to buy up lots, and woro instructed
to give 60 cents at the crib, rather
than fail to got it. Corn immediately
began to rise, and now is selling at
$1.00. Now tho farmers have thought
thomselves well enough paid for their
bacon at 18 to 20 cents, but there are
persons at this time traveling through
the country buying lots of meat, and
they will, no doubt, give 25 cents in
first hands,- beforo they will miss a
trade. Already it is being sounded
through the streets, that bacon will
soon be selling for 40, 50, yes 60 cents.
What will make it so?—not the regular
course of trade, not the real scarcity
of the meat, not the present actual
demand, not even the prospective
scarcity of tlio article, corn and shoats
make bacon. W hy should meat be more
than 25 cents in second hands ? There
can be no other reason than the de
termination of those who have money
to increase thoir hoard of wealth, per
fectly reckless of the want and suffer
ing of thousands of tho poor, who
cannot eat ono mouthful of bacon a
month at 50 cents a pound. Now, is
it not astonishing that men will act
thus, when, for protection and salva
tion of that very wealth, there are
hundreds of true hearted men now in
our armies, whoso wives and little
ones at homo must be made to suffer
by tho very persons who are most in
terested in their success against our
enemies, and for whose speoiivl bene'
lit those self-sacrificing patriots aro
fighting. Such speculations in the
necessaries of life ure not only cruel
and heartless, but are guilty of the
basest ingratitude towards our faith
ful soldiers in the field. If these men
must speculate, it would be infinitely
hotter for them to employ their capi
tal in a way to benefit their country
at largo. This they can do, and be
praisod for it; whereas, for the course
they are now pursuing, they will be
execrated and cursed by the people,
Lot them not, by too far, he deceived
by filthy luore; they nro known, and
the day of retribution will como. Ho

vampires might do. Tho country
wantBjiron, sulphur, saltpetre, guns,
both cannon and small arms, lumber
and various other things which men,
sharp enough te speculate in moat and
bread ought to be able to find out and
make money on. Our country, our suf
fering country, is crying out for these;

been laid on the table by a decided
majority.

The Confederacy says it is reported
that an entire regiment of Indiana

the Franklin pike, by a command
made up of Texas Rangers, Col. For

ggr-We would invito the careful at
tention of every Southerner, to the fol
lowing bill before tho Federal Congress,
and would suggest that Soutlieq papers

speaks for itsolf:
BUI For the Enslavement of the
South.
A bill has been agreed upon by com
mittees of both Houses of the Northorn
Congress to reduce tlio Southern States
to the condition of Territories, and to
establish provisional governments for
tho same. Wegivo tho following
synopsis of its main provisions.
1. The bill authorizes and requires
tho President of the Unitod States to
take possesssion of and occupy the in
surrectionary States of Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, NorthUarolina, South Caro
lina, Tennessee, Texas and Eastern
Virginia. It is made the duty of tho
President to institute, and proteot with
military and naval forces, a temporary
civil government, with suoh names and
S eographioal boundaries ns ho may
esignate. Tho civil governments thus
established will be continued until such
time as the “loyal people” shall form
new State governments, apply and ob
tain admission into the Union os
States. The States thus erected, will
be admitted with the express stipula
tion that they shall forever remain a
part of the American Union.
2. Tho temporary governments hereby
authorized for the several distriots will
consist of an Executive, a Legislative
and Judicial Department. The Execu
tive power 1b vested in a Governor, and
his powers and duties are mado the
sanqp as those conferred upon the Gov
ernor of the Territory of Washington.
The Legislative power is vested in a
Counoil of not less than seven, nor
more than thirteen, and the Judicial
power in a superior court, and suoh in
ferior courts as the Counoil may estab
lish. All those officers will be appoint
ed by the Presidont, and will hold their
offices until otherwise directed by Con
gress.
3. The third section dcolarcs that “no
act shall bo passed by tho council OS'
tnblishing, protecting, or recognizing
tlio existence of slavery, nor shall the
temporary government or any depart
ment thereof, give sanction to or de
clare the right of one man to property
in another, in either of said districts,
and no law or act of tho Governor or
Legislative Council shall bo valid, whioh
is disapproved of by Congress.”
4. The Governor and Council are “au
thorized to take possession of all aban
doned, forfeited, or confiscated estates
with the limits of said districts, in tho
name and on behalf of the President
and the Congress of the Unitod States,
and to lease the reality thereof on such
terms and for suoh time, not to exceod
five years,” as may bo prescribed by
law : “Provided, That all leases shall
be to actual occupants who are loyal
and have not been in rebellion against
the government of the United States.”
The “leases shall bo for limited quanti
ties not to exceed one hundred and
sixty acres to any one person—it being
the intent and purposo of this to estab
lish justioe, and promote the peace,
safoty and welfare of the inhabitants,
by sccuritg to all (he enjoyment of life, liber
ty, oiuf the fruits of their own tabor,"
The fifth section provides for the es
tablishment of a school system. The
sixth sets apart all tho public lands
in the rebellious States to be divided
among tho Federal soldiers and sailors,
and the families of such as may die in
the service, or be killed. Tho seventh
provides for the organization of the
courts. The eighth declares that no
E erson who has taken part in the re-
ollion, cither in the civil or military
service, or given aid and comfort to
the enemies of the United States,
“shall act as Juror, or be entitled to
tho privileges of elector, or be eligible
to any office under the General Gov
ernment, or in either of said districts.”
Tho remaining sections relate to details
and aro of ne speolal importance.

Captain John H. Morgan, tlio
dashing hero, owned property to the
amount of $300,000 at tlio commence
ment of the war. That has been con
fiscated, and he is now wifeless, child-
lesB and homeless.
The Knoxville Register, in al
luding to Captain Morgan’s late ex
ploit, says ho “oaptured 40 prisoners,
including 10 officers, besides one Yan
kee telegraph operator, the United
States mail, and $50,000 in gold,”

DOtNGSOF THE ENEMY ON THE
COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The Raleigh Standard says largo
preparations for making salt near Beau
fort, N. C., woro in progress and nearly
completed. The fall of Newbern in
volves the loss or abandonment of all
these preparations, as it does of Fort
Macon. The apparatus might be re
moved to Onslow before the enemy gets
possession.
It is reported that Gen. Burnside
had demanded the surrender of Fort
Macon, which had been declined, and
that ho would soon attack it.
Washington, N. C., (tho point where
Col. McMillan, of Habersham, the gal
lant commander of the 24th Georgia
Regiment was stationed,) had been

there, the enemy not having visited
the place. Several gunboats have been
seen about tho mouth of the river,
and it te said that every water outlet to
the people of Hyde te blockaded by a
-Yankee vessel. Several cargoes of
corn have been taken by the enemy.
