inquiry in their respective Districts, and
it they have reason.to suspect that any
person is distilling illegally, they are ro-
quired frequently to‘visit h:s premises,and
examine till they aro satisfied whether it
is so or not, and if the owner of the prem
ises refuses to permit them to be visited,
that the examination may be made, they.
w*fll at on ;o make the necessary oath, and
obtain a warrant from a judicial officer

who may ho found distilling in their re

satisfactory evidence, that any licensed
distiller ims sold spirituous IiqnoA from
his distillery, by himself or his agent, or
has made more than tho quantity for which
he is licensed, or delivered it to fitly por-
v mi other than tho Justices of tho Interior

And all county offioors are in like man
ner required ‘to bo active and vigilant, in
their respective counties, as in case of Dis-
iriet officers, ubove mentioned. And all
ci'’• dr. c<mp y and all other officers of every
elms, civil and military, are expected to
see that no illegal distillation is permitted
to go unpunished, within their limits or
jurisdictions. ^And it matters riot under
wl.ul pretext such persons are distilling,
11 they lis.vo not a license front the Govern
or, as tho law requires, their distilleries
will bo abated and they indicted, at. above
directed.
it’all tho officers of this'Stato will dis
charge their duty faithfully and promptly,
1 am satisfied that illegal distillation can
ho suppressed j a.nd as I do not construe
the Ixesolution of tho General Assembly of

of malpractice, I hereby give notice that I
shall withdraw protection from such as 1

The price of protection must be tho prompt

IHr. Foote’s Peace Resolutions.
Hon. 11. S. Foote, in a letter published
in the Selma Reporter, siiys : ** It is most
manifest that, a large majority of the most
cnlightei eitcitizens,both North and South,
Imvo had no pan in bringingon the present
conflict ; they have' ever deplored tho
causes which led to-it, and are silTcorely
desirous of "an early cessation of hostilities,
whilst it is equally manifest that tho go
vernments respectively represent.ing"theta
have at pruaent such relations with each
other as -.o preelude all possibility of offect-
ing negotiations looking to'lhe restoration
of peace. ’ With a view to arrange terms
of pence of an honorable and lasting nature,
-Mr. Foote proposes that a convention bo
called, to bo composed of delegates from
ail the St ates of the South, and from such
of the St ites of the North as shall bo found
willing to participate in such a movement,
and wliooe du ty it shall be to consult each
other, iVcoiy and dispassionately, upon this
important subject, and report such plau
ot pacification as they shall agree upon to
both governments for ultimate ratification
or rejection, and that to this end an armis
tice to be had und continued until the last
experiment lor peace shall have been faith
fully tried.
Ilia resolutions—which embody this
plan of peace—declaro that, “ the events
of this war have been siich as to render it
alike undesirable to both parties thereto
that the close political union formerly ex
isting between the States ot the NorttTanU
of the South shall ever hereafter be re
stored j that painful recollections connect- •
ed with iho present conflict oi.arms would
make all associated councils, in, regard to
matters of mure ordinary municipal con
cern, n fionreo of*continual distrust and
unkindeits ; and that conflicts of sectional
interest, inflamed by the sinister efforts of
local doriagqgues, would still from time to
time fc>c.*en<BWod, and in all probability
again eventuate in scenos of bloodshed and
ruin similar to' those through which wo
aro now passing.” ,
.Lie thinks that it will bo impossible, bow-
over, for the multitudes who occupy the
two sections into which the old American
Union is now tiividod to avoid in future
“ tho freest social and commercial inter
course with each other/' and tha. inter
course, in order to be agreeable, will have
to be regulated'by .fixed and established
principles. In vie W. of these considerations,

The Louisville Journal isless sanguine of
Grant’s success in "Virginia than any Yayi-
keojoarnal wo have yet seen. It pro
fesses the utmost confidence in the military
genius of Gen. Grant, but, at the same
time, has some unpleasant misgivings as
to the capture of Richmond. It is not
blind to the difficulties that are in the way
and which mast be completely overcomo
before this stupendous stronghold is
gained. It points to»the cost of Vicks
burg, which Was completely besieged in
front by means of the Yankee gunboats
on the river, and In the rear by a Targe ar
my extending, from a point on the river
above to a point briow. For forty seven
days thirty thousand troops held this
poorly defended position, repelling- wifh
great slaughter-every assault and only
succumbing at last when tbo place was
surrendered by the commanding officer.
Richmond cannot be invested completely
as Vicksburg was. There is no river there,
except the James and that ;ia controlled
by us. Wc make a short extract from
Prentiee’sartiele which will show him to
bo a pretty, good renspner:
Grant may gather two hundred thous
and or three or tour hundred thousand men
in front, .but even such aforce, advancing to
a direct attack on Richmond, would in all
probability be driven back from the treble
or quadruple lines of powerful fortifica
tions, fortifications within rortifications,-
coustucted upon the best principles of.mil
itary engineering and by the incessant la
bor of a large army of men ot work for
three years and at work still. Richmond
is fortified far more formidably than Vicks-
burg, and yet We must remember that all
of the three or four terrible assaults made
by Gen. Grant’s veterans upon Vieks-
burg were bloody-failures. Itis’true that
the Federal army might be sent in the rear
of Richmond to cut off rebel supplies from
that city, but the James river-would still
be open nearly quite to its mouth, and
unless the flanking army should be tre
mendous in numbers, more tremendous, in
Accounts of t-be battle of Plymouth re-
fact, than we could render it, Lee, with
.his whole force, could, perhaps, make a
sudden and overwhelming dash upon it,
for the two Federal armies, the oue in the
front of Richmond and the o ther in tho
rear, would be too widely apaj-t to coope :
rate with each other or even to know each
other’s perils and needs. It seems hardly
possible that, even with our immense re
sources, wo can furnish two armies, each
able of itself to cope successfully with the
vast army that Gon. Lee can gather at the
tremendous stronghold of Richmond.—
There does not seem to be mnch if any
alarm at the rebel capital. If there were

bell at the Virginia Arsenal, taken from
Yorbtown, just previous to the advance of
McClellan up the Peninsula, which is a cu
riosity in its way, and should,lb? preserved,
although broken in pieces, as a relic of the
olden times. It Was cast in England, and
bears the date of its manufacture, moulded
around the cap, in tho inscription : “ York
Couty, Virginia, 1725”—the “ n” in county
having been evidently accidentally omitted
by. the moulder. This old bell has rung
out many a morry marriage peal, and many
a funeral toll for tho dead whose happiness
it bad celebrated. It had swung for near
ly a century and a half in its time-honored
belfry, and generation after generation
had passed beneath it to worship, and one
by one, as years rolled" by, had been borne
from its hallowed temple to tho grave.—
'.Washington and' Lafayette listened to its
ringing, and the gallant men who wrought
within its scope of sound,the work of na
tional independence, were familiar with
its sounds. A pleasant history might, be
written of this old Yorktown bell. -
