Wm. H. Little, who fell at Chancellors.
A suggestion was made last year, by
Gen. Beauregard, whieh has not met
the favor which it deserves, the cause
of which, we presume is, that our breth
ren of the press bave not given it the
reflection that it ought to have had.—
It was to speak and to write of the
Northern people as Abolitionists. The
Northern press insist most pertenaoious'
ly in calling us rebels, which they know
it a statement 04 /alsi as a Yankee,
but is intended for effect upon the
minds of their own people, as well as
upon the European mind, and in all
probability, we have suffered in Euro
pean estimation, from the fact that
we were looked upon as rebels.
It is a well known fact that there are
many men in the Abolition army, to
whom the term Abolitionists is pecu
liarly mortifying, and more so to be
aocused of being engaged in an Aboli
tion war. Now we think that the press
can render- good service, when speak
ing of the Northern, army, people or
government, as the Abolitionists, Aboli
(ion army, Abolition government, eto.~
Let us show them hew we feel and
look upon them, and let them he
placed—by this term—in their true
position, before the world.
We hope the press will agitate this
matter.

A Good Wona.-We learn that Bishop

VS- We hear considerable complaint
of Gardens being robbed of late. This
is certainly annoying, and we know of
no hotter remedy than a dose of pow-
derum-elleadibut cum velocitatis, if come-at-

Wheat Speculation.—Several of our
exchanges notice the faot that persons
have been offering ten dollars per
bushel for the growipg crop of wheat,
with the design of keeping ujj the
price of flour, to prevent loss on the
large stocks whioh have been withheld
from market in the hope of still higher
prices. It is stated that one firm haB
1500 barrels which oosb $60 per barrel.
If the price is brought down to §20,
whioh wo think will be the case when
the abundant crop now ready for
harvesting shall be thrown upon the
market, the loss on that single lot will
be §60,000. To obtain a monopoly, so
as to control prices as heretofore, these
heartless speculators and extortioners
are willing to risk a good deal in order
to save themselves, if possible. * The
people can have no sympathy what
ever with such operators, whose god is
Mammon, and whose country is their
own narrow hearts. They are utterly
proof against all other influences. We
call upon our agricultural friends every
where to re/use all such offers with
• patriotic' scorn. Mischief is intended
to the great body of consumers when
these extravagant prices are proposed.
Combinations are formed to extort the
very highest prices, and it should be
the aim and desire of all just persons
to defeat this uhholy object.—Southern
Recorder.

B&T The Jackson correspondent of
the Mobile Advertiser & Register,
speaking of the sack of that city by
the Yankees says:—One remarkable
fact disclosed itself, viz: that there was
no scarcity of provision or dry goods in
the hands of dealers. The immense
slocks found in the cellars, garrets,
bedrooms and oth6r places was Rurpris-
