We lake gre»i pleasure in laj tug rur friend
Mr. Terhui.e’s Idler Before our readers, and
we aga’.u s.y that no uihu shall ever be de
nied a heatiug in tur columns simp y because
he oifleis witn us. We are respec-ful and
consult r^ie toward tvery body iu the lone
and temper tf all we wrue on general sub
nets—»i least we always eedeavor to bt —
aud it any body wishes to criticise our views
in our columns, and does so in the same spir
it, l e rhatl always have a hearing, unless
there be some other otj--ciion to the publica
tion ibau his ditf. rent views.
Mr T entirely misapprehends us, when he
iu era that our rem it ks upon the question ot
speculation of late, have been •*strictures
upon the taitriers,” or that we were endtav
om g to “relieve speculators.” We have
not at any time tak»u the ground that the
• cau-t of the high prices now ruling,” was
that *• tanner.- ate holding back tbe proceeds
of their farms for high prices.” In our first
anii le on t hie sui j.c', which appeared on the
3 t iust , we spi ke of lores allers and engross
ets. who would bty up the bulk of, and mo*
iiepoi z ! art teles ot necessity, in order to cre
ate a snatchy iu the market, and extort high
prices. Me stated that such men were no
trurtc than a farmer who had a large surplus
of urm produo.ions, which he refused to
sell to the needy, but held tff the market in
order to force higher prices than he would
otherwise get. We did not say the farmer
would do so was worse; we classed them
both alike, «Ld Skid distinctly, “if we con
demn one, we must condemn the other also.”
This was l6 s ricture upon farmers, more
dc»o >i»v/ab, *v*‘
things.
We hlluded to the complaint made that
some merchants are chargiug enormous profi s
Upuu their investments We said this was
no *i tie than a lutmer charging 85 cents per
pi uud tor his bacon, which cost him but lit
tle more to make than when he sold it at 12J
We made lo greater complaint agaiDBt tne
one than the other. We classed them both
alike Wo used the illustration to show
ibe ujistice of some pe file who cry out
eg tinsi me speculators alone, who are doing
not ning worse ihan what they justify in oth
ers.
Let us illustrate this matter by a suppose
tion that every one will understand. Sup
pose that you. Mr. Terhuue, have bacon for
for sale, wt.ich you are willing to dispose ol
iu y our ueighboi hood ai 25 cents per pound,
but retuse to eell at that puce to a specula
tor. Tneu suppose that we, the Editors of
this j orn.tl, needed bacon for our own use.
winej Wj h id tried io gel in this marke. at
3d ceuib per pound, and had failed, because
ii w*is not here. If we, under these circum
stances, should'Come io your house, would
you think ii auy wrong to sell it to us at 28
Cents? if we .'-huulJ 0e willing to give 30
cctus here, or 28 cents at your smoke house,
would that be speculation iu you, or running
up tue price ou our part ? Surely no such
charge, cuu d he mule against either of us.
Tue*. suppose you have 1UU.U00 pounds of
bacon for sale, wmch will not bring more
thau 25 ceuts in your neighborhood, but here
it will tiring 3J. is there auy impropriety in
your bringing it here where you can get a
better price for it? Our being willing to
give 30, while your neighbors will only give
25 is ao evidence of extortion or running
up the price ou our part ; but that it is scar-
ur among us ; we nud it more than in your
viciuiiy, aud lienee are willing to give a
higher price.
Again: If there is nothing wrong in your
s llmg to us at your smoke house, for own
u>e, what we med, wbat wrong can there bt
iu your seiliug your whole 100,000 pounds
to a tneicbaut irom this place, who will bring
i here aud sell it out to 1,000 families who
need it, at 30 ceuts? Is that running up
the price? True he may give you more for
it man you c* uld otherwise get, but that is
because the people here are willing to give
h in a profit upon that increased price. It is
us - the coiii-u «rrs—that have run up the
puce, aud nut me speculator.
Me most cnetrfully ecocide all that Mr.
Terbute cisims on the score of patriotism
fur me farmers. M e have repeatedly claimed
tbe same for them in our columns, and we
now say agsio, that < ur country does not
contain a mere patriotic class, and Mr, T.
quiie mistakes us, when he supposes we are
c s it g any blame on them for the present
high prices, lus.ead of this, we are for fret
VTiskuckutd hade, 8o that every farmer can
U.o^ ms puuute to market and get the reg
ular market price. We want no hindrances
in tbe way, eo that the market may adjus
itself wi-h regard to the value of everything.
We entered no complaint against farmers
ft3 a class Our argument was to show that
the complain-3 against the merchams as a
class were unjust, because the farmers, as a
Class, stood in the same categ- ry Me then
supposed this illustration ot our argument
would be not only tircible, and understood
by all, but that it would be properly appres
dated by all.
In our issue of the 4th iust , in deprecating
martial law and all arbitrary measures to
regulate prices, we distinctly claimed the
right of the farmer to sell his produce for
whatever he could get for it. M e said : “ If
a farmer has bacon to sell, and can get more
tor it by selling it abroad than at home, it is
because it is more needed abroad than at
home, and he ought to have the privilege of
Beiling it, wherever he can honestly and fair
ly get the most money for it.”
E*ery effort to put down the price of any
thing, whether provisions, groceries, calico,
or medicines, or other necessaries, whether
successful or not, results in damage to the
farmer. It ultimately falls with most of its
burdens and oppression upon his head.—
Mboever opposes all such arbitrary regula
lions is tbe friend of the faimer.
Again, in our issue of the 6ih, in alluding
to tbe effect of all such tff rts, we say, “it
is to compel farmers and country people to
sell all farm and garden products, butter,
eggs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, &c., for less
.than their market value—less than what
they would briDg by fair honest trade in an
unshackled market.”
We endeavored further, in an article yes
terday morning, to enforce this idea. We
hope we have satisfied Mr. Terhune, and any
one else that may have entertained the same
idea, that we were not trying to put any
more blame on farmers as a class, than any
other class. We think really that there i9
far less ground to complain about high prices,
than many persons seem to think there is
Our correspondent says speculators have
raised the price of provisions in the country
by coming among the farmers and offering
them more for their products than they asked
of their neighbors.
■*Tbe Most Reliable News iu Advance ot

The “ Commonwealth ” of Tuesday an
nounces that “in the event of any new or sud
den movements,” it has “arrangements al
ready completed,” that will secure to that
journal “the mosi reliable news, in advance of
all others.”
We would congratulate that journal upon
having made such desirable arrangements, did
we not have a recollection of the extraordi
nary new3 it had the evening before, (cer
uiiuly *‘jn advance of all others,”) which
Btwjf&lWsAda w tg.mFfifg Sg, y »£g d v£v
tbe same by which its news of the day before
was obtained. In that issue, it was an
nounced that McClellan had attacked Gen
Jotepb E Job ison on Saturday or Suuday
That nearly simultaneously with this figh
and the battle of Corinth, a splendid victory
had been gained by our forces under Magru
der, near Vorkiown—our forces there having
gut into the rear of me enemy—“thua out
ting off all letreai, and all bope of succor,
and that we bad captured about 6,000 of the
enemy, &u. f Sts, and that, at the battle ol
Corinth, “the notorious Geo. D. Prentice, of
the Louisville Journal, was captured, and
suggested that money could be made by
•‘sbowiug” him at oue cent a peep.
We freely confess that all this news was
ahead of us, or any arrangements we can
make. Whether it came by the grape vine
line, the U. G. B. R., or through a clairvoy
aut or spiritual medium, we do not pretend
to say. We frankly confess that if this news
came by the new arrangement, and if the
said arrangement is really in operation, and
ill “do so more” at the will of the Com
monwealth, it will always be ahead of us.—
We shall never try to equal that.
Au Important Railroad Enterprise.
We direct attention to an advertisement of
the New Orleans and Texas Railroad Co npa-
ny. Tnis company has been chartered and
endowed wi.h liberal franchises to construct
one of the mjst important links of railway
ccnuection in the Confederacy, whether con
sidered as a social, commercial or military
desideratum. The meaty have cut off the
rest of the Confederacy from the usual com
mumeation by water with the great South
western domain of Texas, at once the granary
and the grazier’s field of tbe South. Our only
intercourse with that vast and productive re
gion is by the slow and devioua land route
over wretched wagon roads. This link of
railroad from the terminus in Louisiana of
the New Orleans and Opelousas Road to the
present eas ern terminus ot a road ending on
the Sabine river boundary of Texas, will give
New Orleans and the whole Confederacy di
rect railroad communication for seven hun
dred miles into the most populous heart of
Texas. Supplies, troops aud munitions will
thus have cheap and expeditions transporta
tion to the points where needed.
The company advertise to contractors and
for negroes. It has on hand all materials for
the construction of tbe road, and ample finan
ces. The country where the work is to be
done is as healthy as any, and safer from in
vasion, perhaps, than any other portion of the
Confederacy. Therefore, owners of Blaves,
who wish to placs their negroes profitab y and
safely in these times, can do no better than
hire to, or contract with, this company, and
thereby serve the public weal and their own
interests.
Let all the slaves who have been withdrawn
from endangered sections be sent to work on
this road at once.
Sternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
For the Southern Confederacy.
Farmers aud Speculators.
Laurel Isles, Bartow county, Ga.,I
April 7, I&62. j
To the Editors of Southern Confederacy:
I have been more than astonished to see
your strictures upon tbe farmers in your dai
ly of the last few issues, and that you endeav
or to relieve the speculators from their being
in any manner responsible for the present
high prices of provisions; the more so, that
heretofore you have almost invariably been
correct in your positions. You take the ground
that the causa of the high prices now ruling
is, that farmers are holding back the proceeds
of their farms for high prices.
The farmer does not refuse to sell his pro
visions at the customary price to the consu
mer ; but when the Speculator comes to him
for provisions, he has none to spare. Why?
Because be wants to keep them for the needy.
But, says the Speculator, I will give you one
cent more in the pound for your bacon, ten
cents more in the bushel for your corn and
waeat, than you cau get from these other par
ties. It is but natural ho should sell to him.
This sale raises tbe price of such things in
the neighborhood. Another Speculator comes
along and offers Btill more, and thus have the
Speculators raised the price of ail provisions
in this country.
But I contend that provisions raised in Geor
gia are cheaper than any other of the neces
saries of life, and that the farmer is now ma
king less clear money than before the war.—
How often do we sell our coru for one dollar
per bushel ? How often do we get one dollar
and seventy-five cents per buspel for our
wheat ? And have we ever sold our bacon at
twenty-five cents per ib? These three arti
cles of produce are the only ones higher than
we usually sell them for at this season of the
year. Have we ever had to pay $30, or more
than the tenth of that sum, for a sack of salt,
$3 for a pair of negro shoes, 25 cents per yard
for Osn&burgs, from 25 to 50 cents for a yard
of shirting, 40 to 50 cents for a yard of calico
and 70 eents for a pound of coffee ? We have
also to pay from 300 to 1000 per cent on all
the medicines used by our families when aick.
these are necessities to the farmer, and only
a few oi his necessities, for all of which he
has to pay more than double the former prices
Who has put up the prices of these articles?
Is it the farmer ? If the farmer could sell his
products at a proportionable rate to what he
has to pay for what he buys, he would get at
least $3 per bushel for his corn, $4 50 per
bushel for his wheat, and 40 cents per lb. for
his bacon. I for one am glad he can not.—
Tbe prices are already too high; but I am not
willing to see the farmers blamed unjustly.
As a class the farmers have done more to
support this war than any other class of men
In the first place they have sent more of their
young men to fight our battles—without office
too. Can you point out one unmarried farmer
in Fulton county, unless he is diseased or over
age, who is not in the army ? Can’t you point
out maay that are not farmers?
In the second place, they have given more
liberally, in proportion to the money they oan
per cent to contribute for the . q ipment of
our soldiers, and others who have contributed
all tne profits of their farm over the necessi
t.es of their families, to the support of the
soldiers families. I also know others whore
fuse to sell corn tor more than $1 per bushel,
but not to speculators. I know others who have
sold all their bacon to soldiers’ families at 20
oents per lb., after Speculators had offered to
take it in the bulk at 25 cents per lb.
The object of this article is Dot to complain
of speculators, or praise the farmers more
than they deserve; for I have nothing to say
against any one wno honestly makes his mu
ney. If a man is disposed to risk money up
on any article, it is his right; and If I see
proper to give him 300 per cent upon the first
coat, without any false representations on bis
part, I do not complain. There are some ar
tides I think it would be wrong to endeavor
to monopolize, though I do not consider it in
any one man’s power to do it.
Although I am not opposed to any legitimate
trade there is one class ol men I am more
than willing to see the laws of our country
nang higher than Haarnan, viz: those persons
who are aiding and abetting Lincoln by run
ning the blockade with cotton, in order to
make fortunes for themselves by selling cot
ton at enormous profits and bringing hack
such articles as give them the best profits, re
gardles8 of any benefit that is to accrue to
their country. God grant that every such
vessel may be caught on their return to th s
country, and the owners be beggared thereby
for life. It is such men that have been tbe
cause of our reverses. Our Heavenly Father
can never smile upon a country containing
such people.
My letter has grown too long. I am unac
customed to writing anything for publication.
If you desire to publish this in justification
of the farmers, you are at liberty to do so.
Respectfully,
A. A. TERHUNE.
The Draft at Savannah,
We presume nobody volunteered at Savan
nah ou the 3d inst., and we guess but few
attended the parade. It would seem the
people of Savannah subject to military duty,
held Gov. Brown’s authority in such matters
at a very low estimate.
We notice in the Savannah papers, a gen
eral ordei to those who “ absented themselves
from the muster and enrollment ”—announc
ing to them that they were drafted as "absen
tees ” on the 3d instant, and ordering them
to assemble in the square in front of tbe
Court House on Monday last, “ to be en
rolled and mustered into service.”
The list of the men so drafted is published
with the General Order, It contains one
hundred and ninety nine names, and warns
others who were absent, and whose names
are not on the list, to appear, as they are
drafted.
By so doing they will save themselves
trouble, says the Lieutenant Colonel com
manding tbe regiment.
We are somewhat carious to know how this
matter will end.

A TRUE STORV.
«< Come—come old woman 1 lay aside your mop
and ceaae your aong,
While I toll you of a country where the negro
knows no wrong
I'll tell you of a happy clime whare Freedom a
sun ne'er sets,
And white man never scoffs to see the misery
he begets.
“It is a land where manhood owns no law
that binds you down,
Where humblest surf is eqtitl to the head that
wears a crown,
Where sooty Ethiopes breathe free the atmos
phere of God,
And lash-drawn blocd from groaning slaves
don’t desecrate the sod;
« Where * parchment walls’ don’t bar you from
the freedom G >d designed,
Not for the white-mau only, but the whole of
human-kind;
Where all the sons of Adam as one e*ual*race
unite
To quell the tide of alavery and quench its
hellish light.
How can you be so merry, while loaded with
your gyves?
A bird that’s born for boundless woods in
bondage never thrives;
I heard your aong in passing, and I wondered
* could it be
That one deprived of liberty could sing thus
merrily ?’
« Come flee this land of bondage, and go along
with me,
Where you, and where your children will ever
more be free,
Where law will burst the shackles that your
aching limbs have bound,
And grim man-hunters have not leave to tread
the hallowed ground.
“As Moses led the Israelites from homes of
slavery,
Bo I will lead you to a land where Africans
are free,
Where rivers rolling s lently, and snow-cap
ped mountains grand,
Are joined to deck and fertilize the negro's
promised land!
“Come, gather up your little one*, and when
the gloom of night
Shall thicken ’round us till it hides our path
from human sight
You’ll take your leave of bondage, and go and
dwell with me
In the blissful land of freedom, among the
happy free.”
“ Now, Massa, dis is berry fine, dese words
youv’e spoke to me,
No doubt you mean it kindly, but ole Dinah
wont be free,
I ’spect your home’s a happy one—I hope
may be so—
But I’se better in de cotton field dan ’mong
your hil's ob snow.

He treats me like I’se kin to him—and I would

A home in Massa’s cabin, and eat his black

HON. DANIKL 8. DICKINSON’S LETTSB.
Fifthnavenck Hotel, Feb. 22, 1862.
Mr Dear General : Late last evening, on
my arrival here, I was honored by your fa
vor inviting me, iu behalf of the Union De
fence Committee, to speak this evening at the
Union meeting. I regret to say that a previ-
vious engagement to speak in a neighboring
city will prevent its acceptance. Rut let me
emoraoe this occasion to congratulate the
country, and especially those who character
ized the conspiracy and throttled the rebel
lion in the outbreak, upon the exposure cf
the one, and the virtual overthrow of the
other, and the shame and confusion of tbe
supporters, advocates and apologists of both;
and permit me, too. to add one word of warn
ing against the danger of delusive pallia ives
and mistaken compromises. It is and has
been a struggle between a free government
and oue of tne darkest conspiracies, culmi
nating in rebellion, which ever desecrated
earth. Now, let there be no unmanly or cow
ardly shrinking, and no terms offered or ac
cepted. but out and out absolute and uncondi-
lional surrender. Sincerely yours,
D. S. DICKINSON.
