Whisky in the Army.
Speculating in Bail Whisky—Its Manufxctu e—Extor
tionate price for the villainous compound—It »houJ.l
be stopped.
The Richmond correspondent of the Mem
phis “Appeal” says:
There is a distillery in this city, the pro
prietors of which are making a clear profit
variously estimated at from tu-o to four thou. -
and dollars a day! There’s a per diem tor
you! They manufacture whisky. Would
you know what this whisky is? It is a
chain-lightning, blue-ruin, liquid fire, death
in the cup, aqua tofancc, a more vulgar but
not less certain poison than the wine of ihe
Borgias. It has been so well known in Vir
ginia for years that practicing physicians, in
the country, when called to attend sick ne
groes on the plantations, inquire first of all
whether they have been in the habit of using
it in harvest ; if they have, the ordinary
medicines will be wholly inefficacious. Well,
this infernal drench, which was sold before
tho war at 23 cents a gallon, and the like of
which may be obtained to-day in Ilogopolis
—I mean Cincinnati—at 13 cents, is eagerly
bought up at $1.60 a gallon. The sales of
the establishment are only limited by the ca
pacity of manufacture, the demand being in
finitely greater than the supply. And where
does it go ? Every drop of it to the army !—
Nor is this wholesale laboratory the only one
in operation here. Smaller distilleries have
already been established in the neighborhood
of the city, and are springing up every day,
in consequence of a demand which is every
day increasing. There is nothing men will
not do for money. The auri sacra James
overrides all considerations of duly and pa
triotism.
These facts give us pause.
The amount of public injury, of demorali
zation, of crime, which is caused by this im
mense production of whisky, cannot be com
puted. The seeds of ruin are thus sown
broadcast over the land, and the fatal crop
will only too surely be gathered in crowdtd
hospitals, in bloody street fights, in fatal mils
itary misfortunes, in the utter debasement of
the finest body of soldiery the world has ever
seen collected. Can nothing be done to rem
edy this frightful evil ? Are we powerless ?
Shall the Confederate States of America be
left at the mercy of a few unscrupulous
whisky-dealers, whom we have more to fear
than the ships of Burnside or the bayonets of
McClellan !
I am no advocate of a Maine liquor law,
and have never believed in legislating men
into sobriety. I can even suppose that a ra
tion of spirituous liquors may be rational,
that it is necessary to the comfort and good
health of troops in the field—though this is
at least questionable. But the liquors should
be pure and the quantity fixed by strict mili
tary regulation. If the vile compound to
which I have referred, is to be carried into
every camp, and the men allowed to drink
what they can procure, it needs no gift of
prophecy to declare that we shall be beaten,
that our efforts for independent nationality
will be unavailing.
What is the remedy? Not certainly in
“general orders.” Good generals like Brax
ton Bragg and Joseph E. Johnston, rccogoi
cing the appalling mischief wrought by the
bad liquor in camp, have issued strict discip
linary orders on the subject, but these have
no effect whatever upon the distilleries. Tbe
sale is undiminished. The distille's laugh
at the moral deductions of the commanding
officers, and deride the official signature of
the “A. A. G.” Clearly there is but one
way—the fountain of bitter waters must be
sealed or purified at its source. Not to put
too fine a point upon it, the distilleries must
be cleaned out.
We establish a censorship of the press we
legislate concerning the adulieratious of food,
we protect ourselves against the impurity of
drugs and medicines, we have laws prohibit
ing the wearing of concealed weapons— sb.iil
we not defend our defenders from the poison
of the distilleries ?
