Speculators and Extortioners.
In another place to-day we lay before our
readers an extract from the Message of Gov.
Harris, of Tennessee, on the subject of those
who are fattening on the present necessities
of the public. We are sorry this wicked and
unpatriotic spirit is so abroad in the land.—
We heartily commend the action of the Gov
ernor of North Carolina, who has prohibited
the citizens of that State from selling bacon
and other articles of prime necessity beyond
the limits of the State; andof Louisiana,who
has seized for the use of the government all
the coffee in New Orleans, to prevent it get
ting into the hands of those greedy cormor
ants who gloat over the wants of the public,
because they can thereby feather their own
nests.
Such men have none of the elements of hu
manity or patriotism in their composition.—
Their ruling passion is a lust for gain ; and
their sordid souls care nought for the miseries
of their fellow-mortals, and have no interest
in the good of the country, if its ruin would
advance their own personal aggrandizement.
We hope the Legislature, at its approach
ing session, will put a stop to all this in Georgia.
We do not advocate agrarianism, or any inter
ference with the sacred rights of property—
neither do we desire any supervision by our
authorities over the morality or conscience of
any man. This is a free country, and the
spirit of our institutions is, to leave every
man’s conscience free, impose no restraints on
him, and protect his right of property; but
our laws very justly prohibit a man from in
dulging in immoral habits to the annoyance
of others, or the outraging of public decency ;
and on the same principle the law should pro
hibit a man from taking advantage of anoth
er’s wants to extort and to grind the face of
the poor.
We by no means desire to encourage a spir
it of which some people are possessed—to look
with envy and jealousy upon the prosperity
of others. This is wrong, and we condemn it
in any man. There is, however, a “ golden
mean” to be observed in all things; and ex
tremes may run in either direction from that
grand point. We do hope our Legislature will
take some judicious step to put down all mo
nopolists, speculators and extortioners during
these hard times.
Bacon is now selling in this city at 30 cents
per pound. It did not cost any man the third
of that to make it. It is too high, and no man
should be allowed to take advantage of the
scarcity of this or any other article of prime
necessity to extort immense profits from those
who are illy able to pay them, even in flush
times.
No more interested in a proper
respect for the rights of property and all oth
er private rights than property holders them
selves; and no country in tho world exists
where greater popular respect for private
rights is observed than in the States now com
posing our ne.v Confederacy. In order to
preserve and maintain this same state of feel
ing, let those who own property be sure to.
do nothing justly calculated to excite the bad
feelings on the part of those who own but lit
tle. It is a duty the Legislature owes to the
people to enforce a proper regulation, which
will effectually prevent all extortioners and
monopolists from making the dangerous issue
just alluded to. Our peace and safety at home,
and the perpetuity of our institutions and
country, all demand some attention to this
subject.

Col. Matt. Ward.
This distinguished citizen of Texas died in
Raleigh, N. C., on the night of the sth inst.
He had been to Richmond, and was on his
way to this city. He has spent the summer
here, with the family of his relative, Mr. Sal
mons. He was a good man, and one of the
most distinguished citizens of the far South-
West. He has been afflicted with a trouble
some throat disease for some time past, and
we suppose that was the cause of his death.
The Result.
In 83 counties, the vote is as follows :
8r0wn35,609
Nisbet27,3ls
Majority for Brown 8,293
Forty-six counties remain to be heard from.
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Judge Catron.
The people of Tennessee did not hurry this
vile traitor out of their borders any too soon.
Since he was forced to leave Nashville,he has
taken up his headquarters at Louisville, and
has been aiding and abetting the cause of
Lincoln every way he could. We see it sta
ted that he “has appointed under him State
Commissioners in many counties, and the
most vigilant action will be taken to crush
treason in the State.”
The Electoral Ticket.
We notice that all our exchanges have the
name of the candidate for Elector of the 9th
District H. H. Cannon instead of H. 11'. Can
non, as it should be. We know him well, and
hence know his name.
Mr. Fielder, of the Sth District has declined
—be>ng a candidate for Congress. Will those
whose business it is, have the ticket right be
fore the day of election ?

Special Correspondence of tiie “ Southern
Confederacy.”
Camp Pelican, Virginia, )
2d Louisiana Regiment,
October 2, 1861. j
Editors of the Confederacy : Again we have
changed our locality. We left camp De Soto
about ten days ago, for our present camp,
which is in Warwick county, about five miles
South of Warwick Court House, and 9 miles
above Neport News, and on the road leading
to that place. Our videttes are within a few
miles of the enemy’s picket.
The enemy, numbering 2,000, appeared in
four miles of us last Saturday evening, burned
a gentleman’s barn, containing his provender
and other plantation supplies, and returned to
Newport News, withoutour knowledge of their
proximity to our camp, or the depredation they
had committed, until several hours after they
were gone. It appears that they came in an
unbeaten trail, hitherto unobserved by us—
thereby avoiding our videttes.
Our present camp is in a low flat place, and
badly watered. Our regiment is now occupy
ing the exposed out-post on the Peninsula.—
It is probable our winter quarters will be near
the place, though, experience has taught me
that we know not one day what another may
bring forth.
We have been strongly reinforced lately—to
what extent, prudence forbids me to mention ;
but we would give a good report of ourselves
against 40,000 hireling Yankees.
We are greatly cheered with the late news
from all ports—N. W. Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri.

Extortion.
The Governor of Tennessee in his late mes
sage to the Legislature says:
I regret that it is my duty to call your at
tention to the tendency to monopoly and ex
tortion which exists, to an injurious extent
with a class of our citizens, who, intent upon
the sordid purposes of gain, are taking ad
vantage of the peculiar circumstances of the
times, to reap exorbitant profits from the ne
cessities of the government and the wants of
the people.
Complaints have reached me from various
portions of the State, of this unpatriotic and
destructive tendency to extravagant specula
tion, placing every article, indispensable to
the support of an army, as well as the ordi
nary necessaries of life, at piices far above
those warranted by the legitimate laws of
trade, and m many cases, beyond the reach of
more indignent classes of society.
The merchant and tradesman, while re
strained within proper limits, are necessary
and useful members of the community, and
in common with eveiy other legitimate pur
suit, are entitled to the fostering care of the
Government; but when forgetful of their du
ties as citizens, they suffer themselves tempt
ed so far upon the sea of speculation, as to
become serious evils rather than conveniences
to the public, it becomes your duty as the
guardians of that public, to adopt such meas
ures as will best tend to restrain illegitimate
and improper speculation, and put down an
evil which is becoming so prevalent and mis
chievous.
In ordinary times, an outraged public sen
timent and the laws of trade would accomplish
this end, but in times of general distress and
threatened danger, when the government is
involved in war, and must secure, regardless
of price, whatever may be necessary to the
maintainace and comfort of our patriotic and
brave countrymen who have gone to the field
to uphold the rights and the honor of their
country, and to defend the lives and property
of this class who are thus speculating upon
their privations and necessities, the authori
ties cannot be too vigilant in their efforts to
restrain the excesses of avarice and protect
society against the evils to which it is expos
ed.

No Cotton from Charleston.
It is now settled by the patriotism of our
shippers, and the will of the people of Charles
ton, that no cotton will be shipped from this
port to foreign nations. The embargo which
Congress has failed to put upon the exporta
tion of cotton, the people of South Carolina
have imposed on themselves. But it will be
in vain for the people of South Carolina to
practice this act of self sacrifice and patriot
ism, unless it is supported by the people of
the other States in our seaport towns. If
cotton is exported from Savannah, Mobile or
New Orleans, the policy fails. Foreign na
tions, by obtaining partial supplies of cot ton,
through a blockade rendered inefficient for
the purpose, will hope formore; and thus
be induced to withhold that decisive action,
which should be enforced to rid themselves
and us of a blockade which no nations should
respect on account of ifs illegality according
to the law of nations. Will the patriotism of
the planter and the merchant join together in
these cities as they have done in Charleston,
and withhold our cotton from the markets of
the world ? Our cause and destiny is one.
Let us have also one policy, and satisfy for
eign nations, by our free and resolute control
of our property, that we cannot be used for
their purposes, against their rights and ours ;
and that to obtain our agricultural produc
tions, they must be true to their own rights
and honor. We wish free and open trade
with them ; but a furtive trade, by the per
mission or neglect of our enemies, we reject
and spurn.— Charleston Mercury.

Treasury informs the Bank Committee in

PRINCE NAPOLEON ON THE WAR.
Sketches of the Southern Generals.
The third of a series of letters written from
Washington, and generally attributed to Prince
Napoleon, has appeared in the Opinions Na
tionale — his homo organ. The following ex
tracts are in*eresting:
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The South has already chosen a West Point
man, Jefferson Davis, for President; for West
Point is divided like the rest of the nation,
and furnishes chiefs to both parties. Generals
Beauregard and Johnston are at the head of
the secession movement; McClellan and Mc-
Dowell are the Union heroes, and their names
take the place, in every one’s mouth, of those
politicians whose weakness and incapacity
have brought the United States to the brink
of an abyss.
The war appears to be between two com
rades. In Western Virginia, McClellan has
had to operate against two West Point com
panions, one of whom, as I have said, was
killed, the other made prisoner.
Beauregard and McClellan, military leaders
of the two opposing parties, were not only
companions, but intimate friends. When Beau
regard went to the North, he went to no other
house than McClellan’s, and when McClellan
went South, he stayed with no one but Beau
regard. One side and the other are acquaint
ed in the most intimate manner, and senti
ments of chivalrous esteem are found almost
everywhere in both camps, for former friends
are now become implacable enemies.
Such are the men whom the force of circum
stances calls to direct the great revolution
which this moment upturns the United States,
and which will probably end in reforming
them.
At first sight, an idea may be formed of the
seccession soldier's exterior. The question of
uniform, not fully solved in the North, is not
thought of at all in the South. It would seem
that the attempts at uniform have not got be
yond the distribution among some corps of a
kind of a jacket of a heavy gray cloth, manu
factured in Virginia. The clothes, whether
of regular uniform or fancy, are all in a very
bad condition ; the soldiers, nevertheless, pre
serve beneath his rags an aspect sufficiently
martial, and perfect order reigns in the camp
and the posts.
THE SOUTHERN CAVALRY.
What strikes one most is the cavalry, which
is very numeious, admirably mounted, and
composed of superb men. It is plain, al the
first glance, that those men are the sons of
farmers and land owners, that their horses are
their own, and that they are accustomed, if
not to arms, at least to a rough country life.
Besides, nothing is more picturesque than
these Southern cavaliers. They wear the most
impossible costumes, wofully dilapidated by a
three month’s bivouac; bats without crowns,
boots without soles, with an air and heroic
bearing that Don Ciesar de Bazan would have
envied. And since these ragged cavaliers
have as fine, energetic Virginia faces, as their
horses are magnificent, which they manage
with great daring, one is filled with admira
tion, just as wc admire the fantastic figures of
the warriors created by Salvator Rosas.
THE SOUTHERN STAFF OFFICERS.
The staffs of the Generals-in-Chief (Beau
regard and Johnston) are remarkable. If the
United Sta'es were not a Republic, 1 would
say that those staffs are composed of the flow
er of the Southern nobibty. Most of them
possess enormous fortunes.
Disinterested in this civil war, a stranger
to the hatreds, the passions and the interests
which have influenced it, 1 could not feel oth
erwise than touched at the sight of some of
those white-moustached men of military, ar
istocratic bearing and distinguished manners,
who have left their families, their firesides
and high social positions to serve as aids in
the rudest cf wars, to young Generals, hith
erto unknown.
THE SPIRIT OF BOTH ARMIES.
Il is incontestable that there is much more
passion and ardor among the officers of the
Southern than of the Northern army. Individ
ual bravery is incontestably superior in tho
Confederate camp ; but the Union army makes
up for this disadvantage by a more advanced
military organization and knowledge, at least
among the soldiers, so that matters being al
most equally balanced, it is difficult enough
to foresee towards which side the fortune of
war will incline.
It is true the victory at Bull Run is of a
nature to excite to the highest pitch the con
fidence and enthusiasm ot the Southern men,
but I find it impossible to see in the result of
that battle one of those solemn judgments,
without appeal, to bow the head beneath the
irresistible ascendancy of the victor. These
men, after all, are nearly all of the same race,
or the same mixed races ; and, despiie the di
vergence of opinions, they have a common
fund of ideas, manners and feelings, which
does not permit a line to be drawn through
the thirtieth degree of latitude, and to have
it said: All that is North of this line is infe
rior to all that is South of it.
To estimate the events of July 21, we must
leave a wide margin for the local interests,
the chance and unexpected encounters on the
field of battle, the unforeseen events which
take hold of the imaginations of the masses
—secondary causes which operate on the war
by so much the more as the armies have less
experience, discipline and knowledge.
GEN. BEAUREGARD.
I have told you of the Generals command
ing the Northern army. The details which 1
send you would be incomplete, were I not to
speak also of those who command the South
ern army—Gens. Beauregard and Johnston.
Gen. Beauregard is of French origin, that
is to say, his family emigrated from France to
Canada about a hundred and fifty years since.
His father left the English colony to become
a citizen of the United States, and settled in
New Orleans. He there changed his religion,
abjuring Protestantism and embracing Cath
olicity, which is the religion of the General
and his family. A pupil of West Point, Beau
regard was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the regu
lar army when the war broke out. He had
just been appointed Superintendent of the
West Point Academy.
The Government of his State, Louisiana,
recalled him, made him leave the federal army,
and President Jefferson Davis immediately
conferred upon him the rank of General, and
the command of the troops at Charleston.-
We know that the command gave him the op
portunity of firing the cannot shot which rent
the flag of the thirty-four stars. lie bombar
ded and took Fort Sumter—a success which
achieved him an immense popularity. When
the secession army formed to march on Wash
ington, Beauregard was invested with the
grade of General of Division—Major-General.
Beauregard is forty years of age. He is
small, brown, thin, extremely vigorons, al
though his features wear a dried expression,
and his hair has whitened prematurely. Face,
physiognomy, tongue, accent—everything a
bout him is French. His bravery is great and
undeniable, and everything denotes in him, if
not a superior general intelligence, at least a
remarkable military aptitude. He is quick,
a little abrupt, and, although well educated
and distinguished in his manners, he must
sometimes offend, less by what he says than
by his manner of saying it. Perhaps he
does not repress, with sufficient care, the
manifestations of an ardent personality which
knows its worth, and to which an immense
military success may have given a legitimate
self-confidence. He is extremely impassioned
in the defense of the cause which he serves ;
at least, he takes less care to conceal his pas
sion, under a calm and cold exterior, than do
most of bis comrades in either army. To sum
up all, the South has found in him a man of
an uncommon ardor; a ceaseless actively, and
indomitable power of will—characters by
which we recognize the men destined to win
battles and to lead parties.
GENERAL JOHNSTON.
General Johnston, of West Point, is a lit
tle older than Beauregard, and was Colonel
in the regular army at the period of seces
sion. He served very brilliantly in the Mex
ican campaign, and enjoys in the United
States a great reputation for capacity and
probity. An extreme reserve, a modesty no
less great, cause a sort of sadness to appear
to paralyze in him the brilliant qualities
which every one recognizes in him ; but
place him in the field of battle, and then the
true warrior re appears in him as if by en
chantment.
Secession Ladies in Virgiuia-Ladies Look
ing out for Spies.
The Fairfax correspondent of the Richmond
“Dispatch” relates the following:
It is a singular fact in the war, that the la
dies are foremost in everything, and that their
patriotism and vigilance in guarding the in
terests of the Government is unceasing. A
short time ago, a well known newspaperman,
who has been for years a severe fire eater,
and strongly in favor of opening the slave
trane, was arrested at the instigation of a
female custodian of the public welfare, as a
suspicious character. It was with difficulty
he escaped imprisonment, although he show
ed a clear record, and proved that he had
made secession speeches ever since he was
first elected to the Legislature of his native
State, many years ago. With this circum
stance in mind, I was much amused at an old
lady a few miles below this place, who evi
dently kept, a sharp look out on all strangers
who might prove emissaries of the Round
heads. The locality, for convenience sake,
may be called Bristow. Scene—the parlor
of a hotel. Dramatis persontv — party of gen
tlemen conversing in one corner; ladies in
the other, who continually cast side-glances
at a newspaper reporter, who is writing out
his notes at the centre table.
Act Ist. Reporter oblivious to all about
him. Old lady walks back andforwatd, cast
ing sundry glances at the strange hieroglyph
ics. Gents still conversing. Old lady whis
pers significantly to her companions, when
the parties put their heads together and con
verse in an under tone. Reporter still obliv
ious. Finally, the work is completed, the
notes go into a side-pocket, the book is fold
ed, pen wiped, and inkstand put away. Re
potter prepares to leave the room by side
entrance, but is intercepted by old lady, in
behalf of community.
Old Lady.—“ Have you been taking down
what we’ve been saying ?”
Reporter.—“ Certainly not, madam.”—
(Aside ) “ What an old
Old Lady, (interrupting.)—“Well then, mis
ter, be you a spy or anything?”
Repot ter very suddely subsides, but imme
diately draws sundry papers containing his
record, which he spreads upon the table. To
make matters still stronger, he claims rela
tionship with Jeff. Davis, has known Aleck
Stephens from his boyhood, went to school
with Beauregard, was by Johnson’s side at
the taking of Chepultepec, and fought in the
battle of Bull Run. Smiles of satisfaction
gradually crept over all faces. Play concludes
by finding all parties satisfied, old lady hav
ing introduced pretty black-eyed daughter to
the roving Bohemian and suspected spy.
