RY "— fatrich Henry in the first Revolution.
How It W’or.i,
Some persona in this city have been call
ing on Got. Drown to proclaim martial law
in this city to put down the speculators. We
crave their attention for a few moments :
In New Orleans Oen. Lovell has proclaimed
mnrtial law and established a tariff of prices
for provisions, groceries, &c., to ‘‘prevent
greedy extortioners from oppressing the peo
pie in their ungodly efforts to get gain out
of the necessities of the people.” No doubt
the General thought be was doiug a good
wotk—one that would relieve the people ot
that city, who are hard pressed for sufficient
food.
Prices there were very high. Flour was
$17 to $20 per barrel; beef 18 to 20 cents
per pound, and pork about the same. Mar
tial-law i rices are a little lower—flour from
$14 to $17 per barrel, beef 14 to 17 cents,
and pork 13 to 17. The result is, that the
people of the surrounding country refuse to
take their produce into the city for sale. The
new military regulation prevents them from
selling it at a fair market pike. The people
of the oity are almost threatened with starva
tion. Instead of lowering the price of arti
cles named in the military order, it has large
ly increased them. Its legitimate effect was
instantly perceived by the people, who made
a rush to purchase large supplies to last for
gome time. This put groceries up beyond
anything that had previously existed, and
buying and selling was carried on clandes
tinely all over the city with great activity,
and at greatly enhanced iates—notwith
standing martial law. The military order
conld not enforce its observance, nor prevent
its violation in the city ; but it oould, did,
and does, prevent the people of the country
from bringing in any thing, and dealers from
other markets from shipping any thing to the
city.
In Mobile, also, prices have been fixed by
a similar regulation. A few days before it
was done, several large vessels heavily
freighted with sugar and syrup, from New
Orleans, ran the blockade, and arrived safely
at that port. The men who had gone into
the enterprise intended to keep np the busi
ness, and were fixed for it.
This first arrival of these vessels caused
molasses to decline considerably in the Mo
bile market, and the same thing caused a de
cline of from 5 to 10 cents a gallon in this
market. We know several merchants who
were endeavoring to sell their stocks at a
sacrifice ; for they knew they would inevita
bly lose money, and that largely, if that line
continued to run, even irregularly.
But when the prices were fixed upon sugar
and molasses in Mobile, these blockade break
ers refused to make another trip—have not,
and will not make another, while a military or
' any other authority dictates to them the price
at which they shall sell their own goods.
Molasses and sugar, consequently, are still
high, and will remain bo as long as trade is
shackled by arbitrary regulations.
There is a great soarcity of wool in this
seotion, and tbe price asked for it is enor
mous. Last year an enterprising citizen of
this place went to Texas and shipped it here,
which he sold for forty-five cents per pound.
He had made arrangements to bring large
quantities to this market from time to lime,
bat the ory of extortion and ungodly specu.
lation was raised against him, and he ceased
operations to escape the odium. Nobody has
brought any wool here since, and it is now
commanding from sixty-five to seventy-five
cents per pound in this market, and exceed
ingly scarce at that.
We know a gentleman who has been im
porting goods from Europe. He is threaten
ed with martial law to price his goods, be
oause it is alleged he sells them too high.—
He says that he charges nothing more than
a fair remuneration upon his goods for the
extraordinary expenses and risks incident to
running the blockade; that he is willing to
■bow his invoices and bills of expenses to
any one who doubts in the matter; and that
if he cannot have assurances that his trade
is not to be interferred with, he will bring no
Bore goods from Europe.
In Forsyth, Ga., a few days ago, a county
meeting passed some resolutions which, we
suppose, reflected severely upon the mer
chants of that place. We have not seen the
resolutions; but we have seen a card pub
lished and signed by three mercantile firms
of the place, stating that a system of es*
poinage has been established over their busi
ness, and people from the country forbidden
to sell produce to them, except upon certain
conditions, and announcing their determina
tion to wind up their business at once, bo
ing unwilling to rest under such a public
ban. Now, we predict that the people who
passed those resolutions will soon be glad to
have the same merchants resume their busi
ness. People from the country will not bring
in their produce unless there is some person
in tbe village to buy it in bulk ; and none
but the merchant is disposed to see, witn a
business eye, what the oountry needs, and
supply it from abroad before the people suf
fer for it.
Last year, Gov. Brown took it into his
head (hat the merchants were selling salt too
high. So he issued an edict declaring that
he would seize all the salt held over a cer
tain price. The consequence is before us.—
Salt here is worth from $30 to $35 per sack,
and nearly so in every market in Georgia,
while in Charleston it U $15 to $18. In New
Orleans it is from $4 to $11 per sack, accord
ing to quality, lu Vicksburg, Miss., it is
only $8 lo $10, and in Memphis it is also from
$8 to $10 per sack. All around us it isoheap,
comparatively. In Virginia, they are man
ufacturing it largely ; but in Georgia it is
higher than any where else. This is in con
sequence of Gov. Browo’s seizure, and the
further fact that he has not yet receded from
the position he took in seizing it, and the
still further fact that his recognized mouth
pieces are advocating martial law or mob
law to regulate the prices of all aiticles of
necessity. After a fashion he released some
of the salt seized; but he has never con
ceded the great error he committed—the im
mense damage he did to the people of
Georgia—the people who use and not those
who sell salt—nor given any assurance that
a similar seizure will not be made at any day.
lie is known throughout the Confederate
States to be a bead strong man—very often
promulgating arbitrary orders—sometimes
right and sometimes wrong—and enforoiBg
them, or attempting to enforce them, by the
mi si summary and irregular proceedings.—
Tbe men in Charleston, Mobile, Vicksburg
and Virginia, who have salt to sell, all know
his head strong character. If they had salt
for which they could find rfo other market
they would not send it here. The merchants
of Georgia would go out to these various
marts and bring salt here at some price to
supply our wants ; but they know not what
moment the Governor will seize it. His spe
cial, principal State organ—the Intelligencer
of this city—is daily advocating martial law
and the most radical and unwarrantable in
terference with private rights. No man
knows when he is safe with his own proper
ty, even though he be dealing honestly and
patriotically with it in the sight of God, as
his duty to his needy fellow men, and with
that consideration which a love of his coun
try in this extremity would enjoin upon him.
In this city, these things have driven from
their business some of the most useful and
honorable men engaged in merchandizing.
Thie community will miss them, and eujftr for
want of their business energy and efficiency, and
their liberality in fixing prices on their goods.
We predict that oar people will suffer most
terriDly for the necessaries of life, unless the
idea of seizing them or of deolaring martial
law for the purpose of regulating prices is
forever abandoned, and men who deal fairly
can have assurance that their property and
their privileges will not be interferred with
by any arbitrary proceeding, either by offi
cials or mobs, incited to deeds of violence by
tbe advice of journals which are generally
regarded as the authoritative mouth-pieces
of those in authority in the State.
We now, onoe more, nrge our people to
pause and reflect before heeding, and acting
upon such dangerous advices and polioy.
What’s lu the Wind.
The Norfolk “ Day Book” of the 4th instant
says:
“ Pilots Acquainted with Nothkrh Hansoms.
We have ban a pretty strong hint that pilots
acquainted with tbe various narbora along the
Northern' seaboard will speedily be in great
demand, and thattbeir services will be hand
somely remunerated. It is unnecessary for us,
of course, to say more than this, as those in
terested will easily find out where to apply
for iurther inlo-mation. As the weather is
getting warm, possibly some of onr Southern
friends intend to get up a few pic nic excur
sions to a little colder olimate; and it may be
that they need tbe .srvicea of the above pi
lots.”
Wonder if onr government intends to send
the Virginia to New York to burn up the city?
She could do it; but then what would prevent
the Monitor from doing the same to Norfolk f
We suppose, however, onr friend Hathaway
was only gassing when he wrote the foregoing.
An idea just here: Many persons are im
patient at the long delay ef the Virginia, and
wonder why she has not rnn out before now
and demolished the Monitor; or if she really
was so damaged as not to be able to go ont
again. We believe the damage was slight, and
that it was repaired fully, in two or three days
after the conflict; but we have a suspicion
tbat our government think it altogether bet
ter for her to remain and guard Norfolk, and
the mouth ot the James River, than to go out
and risk sn engagement with the Monitor. If
she should be <. vorpowered in a conflict, Nor
folk would iue* itably fall. The Monitor would
pass any of oar batteriea; and she would pass
up the mouth of the James, and protect the
landing of 100,f00 Yankee soldiers within
striking distance of Richmond.
We do not know anything about this matter,
but give these snrmisea for what they are
worth.
Bear Creek District.
This District in Henry county has done
well. A correspondent informs ns that every
young man in the district has volunteered
and is now in camp, and that an old men’s
company has also been organized, commanded
oy Capt. Ponder, a venerable old man. This
company is ready for any service that may be
n q nired of it. The ladies of the district gave
the volunteers a dinner at Mount Carnal,
which was a splendid affair. With wsr cor
respondent we say, three cheers for Bear Creejt
District.

“ flying Battalion ” Keeping np its fame—Yankee*

Georgia—The wounded.
Cumberland Gap, March 30,1802.
Hear Confederacy:
I can give yon only a abort letter to-day.
We are all moving on the mountains this
morning, and a few lines may not be unin
teresting to our friends; besides it is due to
all tbat true accounts should be furnished to
the public.
We were ordered to report at Knoxville
last week, and left here on the 26th. We
had traveled about fifteen milles when a
courier from the Gap overtook us with an or
der from Gen. Kirby Smith lo return. We
were disappointed, it is true, but the "flying
battalion,” must needs uphold its well earned
reputation. So, without further comment
we retraoed our steps. Before we had got
ten half way, the deep, sullen reverberation
of cannon reached us—the roar of the death
dealing monsters came sounding through
the valleys, following our very track. We
thought an attack was made again on tbe
Gap, and redoubled our exertions to reaoh it
In time to participate. We found the cause
of our alarm to be the enemy firing salutes
from some unknown cause—the most plausi
ble, that of Fremont assuming command over
the Mountain District—including this point
in his seotion. Georgia will also come in for
her share of the vengeance of the “Woolly
Horse” general. 8o, he sure next time to
east ycur vote for Fremont, or you are gone
under. Some suppose he is now at Cumber
land Ford, were the salutes were fired, and
all are anxious to have a look at hia mous
tache and beard.
Positive information has been received that
the enemy are now at the Ford, and that they
have been reinforced by nine regiments,
some of them regulars. Dave Fry, the cele
brated bridge burner (now captured), says
tbat they have twenty-six pieces of artillery,
and that when they attack us again we will
have to leave the Gap, for they will storm it.
Yes ! I see them now coming ! and I can see
them fall in the slaughter pens prepared for
them, and adding mote sacrifices to tbe will
of a despot! Perchance they may take tbe
Gap, and then perchance not. One thiug is
certain, that all the cannon they can bring to
bear will never take as strong a natural posi
tion as this, neither can cannon atorm in-
trenchments; and when infantry try it, then
comes the tug of war. The enemy’s forces
were under the command of Gen. Carter, a
renegade Tennessean, and if he is a general,
he displayed rather poor qualities at the first
siege.
The man Dave Fry, 1 spoke of, now claims
to be a Federal offioer, commissioned by A.
Lincoln, and thinks by this to be in a fair
way to save his neck. Admit, for the sake
of argument, that be is; he is in the same
fix as Andrs, of revolutionary h;Vorj; he is
aBpyand a tory, which jus ly enmies him
to be huug.
To-day a portion of the enemy's forces are
near us. The smoke from^ their campfires
are plainly visible; extending for a mile be
yond the crest of a near range of hills. In
creased vigilanee on-our part is necessary to
prevent surprise, and the foe is constantly
scanning to see if he can discover a weak
point of assault.
The 5th Georgia regiment have gone to
Knoxville. Transportation for their baggage
oould not be had, and they have left it here.
Our wounded are doing well, and very few
oases of sickness.

«• TENNE8SEE TRAITORS.”
Much has been said and written ot late
concerning the clandestine cotton speculation
by traiorona East Tennesseeans. That much
of it is true, we have no sort of doubt. This
sort of game has been going on for months,
and it is well known that there is, at this
time, more cotton stored away in East Ten
nessee than has been during any one year for
the past twenty. But it is known, also, that
Tennesseeans are not alone in this nefarious
business. A few traitorous Georgians have a
finger in the pie; also, many of them have co
operated with the East Tennessee speculators
by selling them cotton when they knew it was
to be shipped to certain points on the East
Tennessee A Virginia and East Tennessee
Railroads, to await the arrival of Lincoln’s
army when it would be immediately trans
mitted to Yankeedom. Not only this; it is
even asserted, upon good authority, that Geor
gians have formed partnerships with Tennes
seeans, and have bought up and shipped cot
ton to the line of the East Tennessee roads for
the purpose of selling it to the Yankees,
should they succeed in getting into this conn-
try. Now that the plot has been discovered,
and farther shipment on the State Road pro
hibited, a spasmodic effort is being made to
cast the odium wholly upon Tennesseeans.
Let justice be done to all; let tne truth be
known, and let not the Georgia tories attempt
to make a scape goat of their brother tories in
East Tennessee, when both are alike culpable.
A tory is a tory, be it known, whether he
breathes the mountain atmosphere of East
Tennesse, or sniffs the balmy breeze of the
gallant Empire State, NEPOS.

Correspondence from Cumberland Gap.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM CAPT. B. F.
JONES.
Ccmbeblahd Gap, March 27, 1862.
Dear Confederacy:
You have been apprised of our movements
up to a very recent date.
Our battalion, under command of Major
Rudler, marched yesterday for Knoxville, by
order of Gen. Smith. Tbe order was coun
termanded by the same authority in time to
reach the battalion fifteen miles en route.
They will be here early to-morrow. Fortu
nately I remained behind to wind up the
busines of my department.
We have information that the enemy are
again preparing to attack us. We heard
their drums to-day, and the report of can
non—suppose they are practicing. They are
reported to be 10,000 strong, while we do
not now number half so many, (since the
withdrawal of the 5th Georgia, and 9ih Mis
sissippi regiments). But nobody's “skeer'd”
here. We we can hold this place against
twenty thousand of “their sort.” So let
them come, and, if they are victorious, it
will cost them "blood,” and oceans of it—
blood enough to drown the reserve. My
wagon^master, “Williams,” says he wauts to
get his horse on a high plaoe to keep the
enemy from drowning him.
Col. Dave Fry (Federal) bridge burner, &o.,
employed by Andy Johnson at $2 00 per aay
for recruiting for the Federal army in Ten
nessee, aith other prisoners recently brought
here, were started off under guard for Knox
ville to-day to be hang, we hope. The Fry
was the gentleman who stuck the torch to the
Lick Creek bridge. I understand his wife is
the prettiest woman in the world, and lives
on Middle Creek, Green ooumy, Tenn., in an
old blacksmith shop, without doors, windows
or fireplace, and will soon be a widow.
Send on your paper. We are always eager
to gat it—“no blarney.”
In coDolusioD, if we are whipped out here,
I acknowledge myself ready to sign any pa
per they may “fetch” along.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.,
B. F. JONES.
March 28.
Beautiful, bright day. Like the balmy airs
of the Sunny South, “brightening every
scene.” The battalion has arrived—weary
and worn, like ihe hunted moose.” No ene
my yet. Perhaps they will not come, and
perhaps they will. 1 still say, let them come,
and they will appreciate tbe fact that “dis«
tanee lends enchantment to the view.”
In haste, yours, J.
Our Special Correspondence from
Rome.
Rohe, Floyd county, April 6, 1862.
Capt. Keer’s company of Cavalry, number
ing about one hundred, (Morgans in embryo, I
hope,) lett our city yesterday morning for
Camp McDonald. Most of the men are stout,
athletic looking fellows, and were mounted on
horses rather above the average size and qual
ity for this region. As they were marching
out of town the Captain was presented with a
very handsome boquet by a patriotic and mod.
erately good looking young Virginia lady. The
gallant Captain is a bachelor of the old school,
and blnshingly made his acknowledgments
for the appropriate and beautiful present.
“May his laurels never wither."
I learn that Col. J. J. Morrison, of.our coun
ty, has succeeded in raising an an entire reg
iment of dragoons for the war, and will very
soon muster it into service. Col. Morrison is
an accomplished gentleman, a native of Ken
tacky, and one of the most untiring and inde
fatigable men I ever knew. He was a member
of the much lamented Gen. Quitman’s staff,
during the Mexican war, and was the first
man who hoisted the (their glorious) stars and
stripes on the Halls of the Montazumas. He
has for the past ten months occupied the po
aition of Lieutenant Colonel in Col. Mercer’s
regiment from Georgia, in the army of th# Po
tomac. Prefering the cavalry service, he was
authorized by President Davis to raise a regi
ment of dragoons, which he has accomplished
in a very short time. May he be the first to
raise the “ bars and stars ” on the dome of
the Capitol at Washington.
“Mount, soldier, mount thy gallant steed,
Seek, seek the ranks of war;
’Tls better there tn death to bleed,
Than drag a tyrant’* car.”
“On! on !—we conquer or we die!”
Must be the South's resounding cry,
And glorious is the glad reply,
The shout of “ Death or Victory!”
We are having now a glorious season for
planting operations. Let every man who
owns a square yard of land plant at least one
hill of corn, then we can all with the Poet
exclaim:
“ Be gracious, Heaven! for now laborious man
Hai done bit part. Ye fostering breezes blow !
Ye softening dews, ye tender showers, descend !
And tempering all, thou world-reviving sun,
Into the perfect year! Nor ye who live
In luxury and ease, in pomp and pride,
Think these lost themes unworthy of your ear :
Such themes as these the rural Maro sung
To wjde-tmperial Borne, in the full height
Of elegance and taste fcy Greece refin’d.
In ancient times the sacred plough employed
The King* aud awful fathers of mankind:
And some, with whom compar’d your Insect tribes
Are bnt the beings of a summer day,
Have held the scale of empire, rul’j the etorm
Of mighty war; then, with u >wearied hand,
Disdaining little delicacies, seiz’d
The plough, and greatly independent liv’d.”
WHAT NOT.
No Licenses to Foreigners —A law pas-
sed both branches of the Virginia Legislature
on Monday, prohibiting the issue of licenses
to sell any kind of merchandize to any other
foreign bprn citizens, than those who are
naturalized. This is * measure long since
necessary. There are nupbers of the foreign
born pupnlation in actiye bqsinees a*i oyer
the State, who upon a pall f or Militia, have
thrown themselves upon the protection of
P°»«3 represented by consuls in the
Confederacy. This law, passed with so much
unanimity by the Legislature, will bring thou
gentlemen to a realization of the truths an
old saw, “It is a bad role that won’t woik
both mays. —Richmond Enquirer, 2d instant.
A Singular Prophzct.—The following cir
cumstances recently occurred at Pensacola,
and its truth is vouched fo‘ by a reliable offi
cer of the army:
A soldier in the Confedeiate service fell in
to a long and profound slesp, from which his
comrades vainly essayed to arouse him. At
last he woke up himself. He then stated that
he should die next afternoon at four o’clock,
for so it was revealed to him in his dream.—
He said that in the last wsek of the month of
April would be fought the greatest and blood
iest battle of modern timei, and that early in
May peace would break upon the land more
suddenly and unexpected.y than the war had
done in the beginning. The first part of the
prophetic dream has betii realized, for the
soldier died the next day at four o’clock, P.
M. Will the rest be in April and May ? Let
believers in dreams wait and see.
From Island 10—Official.--The folio sing
information was communicated by telegraph
to the commandant of this post, under date of
April 1st, 1862:
The bombardment of Madrid Bend and Is
land 10. commenced on the 15ih instant, and
continued constantly night and day. The en
emy has fired several thousand thirteen inch
and rifle shells. On the 17th a general at
tack with fi 7e gunboats and four mortar boats
was made, which lasted nine hours. The rt-
suit of tbe bombardment, up to the fitst iost.,
is on our side one man killed, none seriously
wounded, and no damage to batteries.
The enemy had one gunboat disabled, and
another reported sunk.

FOR THE
BARTOW DTVTNCIBLES.
The “ Bartow Invincibles" want a few mors
recruits, and Congress having passed a law,
recommended by the President to fill up the
old regiments by conscription, this is about
the last chance you will have to volunteer.
Under this law, every man in the Confederate
States, between the ages of 18 and 35. Lable
to military duty, is now in service, and liable
to be ordered into active service at any mo
ment. Soo “ fall in.” Soldiers hand in your
names, and dont wait to be ordered out offi
cially,
This Company is attached to Colonel E. L.
Thomas'Regiment A B>uutv of Fifty Dol
lars will be paid to each soldier as soon ts
examined by an Army Surgeon and mustered
into service.
Georgians! our country is in peril! It is
invaded on all sides by an enemy who comes
with “ poverty in his purse, lust in his eye,
and hell in his heart.” ’fis better to die free
men than live Blaves. Show your manhood!
