Tbe Conscription Bill.
The Richmond Enquirtr says the 13th sec
tion of this bill is incorrectly printed in near
ly all the newspapers—the little word "not
being left out. We correct in our paper this
morning.
The 'I'homasvlUe Times.
This is a neW weekly paper, commenced in
Thomasville, Ga., the first number of which
is befere us. It is edited and published by T.
J. Wombwell, Esq., formerly of the Southern
Enterprise, which was published at Fernan-
dina, Fla. The Yankees run him out from
there. He has succeeded in getting his press
and typeB, and established himself in Thom
asville, Ga. He is a fine editor and gets out
a handsome and interesting sheet. Price, $2
per annum.
Gen. Prentiss Drunk.
The Richmond Enquirer learns that at
Jackson city, Miss., “the Federal Brig. Gen.
Prentiss, who had been released on parole,
got uproariously druuk, and staggered about
the streets, cheering for the “Union, ” and
shouting for Abe. Gov. Pettus, of Mississip
pi, bad him re-arrested and locked up.
The Enquirer is also informed that “ All of
the Yankee prisoners express great anxiety
lmty*hfl*nw4iBn urgffuati, n'thny vntb u c4
put in the army again. They prefer rather
to remain in the South imprisoned, or to be
sent to their own country on parol9 not to
fight again. ”
McJ. J. H. Steele.
In making our last reply to the ‘‘Intelli
gencer” on the question of speculation, ex
toriion, &c., (he thought of Maj. Steele never
once crossed our mind ; and until we saw his
eard in the laBt issue of that journal, we did
not know that he was its editor, or that he
was in any way connected with it or ‘•respon
sible” for what it contained. No evidence of
such an arrangement has appeared in the
columns of that paper. But if we had knowu
it, we cannot possibly see how our remarks
eould be taken exception to by him. They
have no personal application. They were in
tended to apply to orqan journalism, where
a newspaper is pinned on to the tail of a man
or party, which it defends and reflects the
sentiments of, right or wrong, and by which
craft it makes its gain. To these papers, and
any and all persons who are responsible for
or oouduct them, are our remarks applicable.
We made no "effort (feeble, the Major
says) to throw or avert the responsibilities
of the editorial department of tbe “Intelli
gencer” on him,” (glad to see he repudiates
the course of the “Intelligeneer” on the
question of speculation, Ae.,) as we never
•nee thought of him in connection with the
subjeet.

A Suggestion.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM SILVER GREY.
It cannot be doubted but that there are
many articles of prime necessity of which
we are now comparatively destitute, which
might be obtained through an intelligent ex
animation of the resources of the State, such
as salt, lead, coal, alum, copperas, Bulphur,
Ac., Ac.
If geological indications be not at fault,
■alt may be obtained by boriDg at certain
points on the west side of the Oustanaula riv
er. But who is to tore? I will not do it, be
cause the owner of the land will take the
spring if I find one. The owner will not at
tempt to here because he knows that making
corn will pay him, but boring for salt is an
experiment. Probably he never saw or hea*d
of a ground auger. What is to be done for
salt? The bonus offered by the Governor will
hardly answered its proposed end. Anylocali
ty on the coast at which salt can bo made
largely, is within the reach of the enemy-—
The proposed course is to attempt the discov
ery of salt springs. This attempt can be con
ducted successfully only by a man of science.
We are stripping our houses of lead, when
theie is little doubt that a careful examina
tion of tbe State would discover lead in quan
tity. This remark is net rashly made.
The coal banks now explored and worked,
ars within reach of the enemy. Are there
any coal deposited which are safe ? I believe
there are. Certainty can be obtained only by
scientific exploration.
There are materials for the manufactu e of
alum, sulphur and sulphuric acid, within
reach of sensible land owners, who are now
ignorant of the fact. They will learn it only
by having their attention directed to it by a
person in whose opinions they have confi
dence.
We aie in pressing need of gold. How
large a portion of the auriforous region of
Georgia has been explored by a scientific
man ? Very little. Thera have been occa
sional visits of scientific men to particular
localities at the invitation of the owners, but
there has been no extended examination of
th« country. The whole mining region of
Georgia has been neglected, save by the mer
est empirics in science.
As Gov. Brown feels himself autliorizsd to
offer a bonus of $5,000 for the discovery of
■alt, the same authority will allow him to em
ploy a scientific commission to make, an ex
amination of those portions of the Stale in
which there is a reasonable prospeet of find
ing these articles of necessity.
We have a native Georgian who could cou-
duot such an examination with skill. I refer
to Dr. Jones, of Augusa, whose ability, so far
as can be judged from the results of his past
labors, cannot be doubted. There may be
others equally qualified.
Tibs brief suggestion is made in the hope
that it will reach the eye of our Governor.—
ly if the means of supplying them shGl lie
dormant and useless in the earth. Let us
have an immediate and scientific inquiry into
the capacity of the State to supply these in
dispensable articles, in which we are now la
mentably deficient. Such at least is the opin
ion of SILVER GREY.
Martial Law Prices.
The Iutelligeacer has been advocating mar
tial law to regulate our trade and prevent
high prices. We have time and again told
the people that the effect oi such a regular
tion would be two fold; it would drive out
from ns tbe bulk of the necessaries we should
have here for sale, and greatly increase the
price of what remained; and prevent the
bringing in of adequate supplies from the
country or other markets, and greatly in
crease the price of what would be brought
here for sale.
In Richmond, they have the price of ati-
cles at the market regulated by martial law
The following extract frow a Richmond jour
nal shows how it works ;
The Market.—The following were the
prinoipal articles exposed for sale on Satur
day morning in the Second (new) Market:
Kale turnip salad, lettuce, onions, one lot
„f abour vitae bushes, one lot of shuck mats,
two lots of corn brooms, six English rabbits,
_ small stock of seed sweet potatoes, (of the
site and appearance of drowned mice,) Irish
potatoes, (grape shot size), one tub boiled
Irish Drollery—an Entirely Cosmopolitan
Hibernian.
A son of tbe Emerald Isle, but nothimsetf
green was taken up, not far from Manassas
Junction. In a word, Pat was taking a quiet
the shade; and was roused from his
r by a scouting party. He rore
special uniform of either army, but looked
more like a spy than an alligator, and.on this
was arrested. . , »
“Who are you ? ” “What isyour name!
amY-Where are you from ? ” weie the first
questions put to him by the armed P”^- ,
Pat rubbed bis eyes, scratched his bead,
and answered:
For the Confederacy.
Good Advice—Take It.
Messrs. Editors :
Many timely things have been said against
planting cotton, and in favor of planting corn.
I wish to say a few words in favor of plant
ing potatoes:
1st. A potato crop will go farther than any
other that can be made on the same land.
2d. Potatoes are nearer meat (an impor
tant thing now) and bread too, than any
thing else.
3d If we have to do on short allowance of
■alt it will require less in living on potatoes
than any thing else.
Any man who would not prefer living on
roasted potatoes to the surrender of bis lib
erty to the Yankees, I do not want for my
neighbor. If we have any cotton patch
planted, let ns cut eff a corner of it and
plant it in more potatoes.
Yours truly,
I8HAM J. WOOD.
Ve had the pleasure of meeting on
yesterday with a gallant young Kentuckian
just arrived from n is home near Lexington.
His report of tbe condition and feelings ot the
people is gratifying in the extreme.
He says that the cause of the South is gain
ing every day. Lincoln’s policy in regard to
slavery is opening the eyes of the lukewarm,
who are arraying themselves on the aide of
the South.
The war tax is represented as odious in the
extreme, and that the people are anxiously
looking for our army to relieve them from its
oneiooa burdens.
the people are chafing under the military
despotism to which they are now compelled
to bow, but when the grand retreat comes—as
will—wo be to the invader.—Knox-
9tllc Register, ittk.
These Iron Shlclds--Trophies ot the Bat
tle of Shiloh.
“Persenne ” writing from Corinth on the
10th inst., to the Charleston Courier says:
Among the trophies of the battle I have
seen are some ot the Federal shields with
which the courageous officers and men, who
can afford it, are wont to envelope their valu
able personal identities. They are made of
steel, and completely oover the body from the
neck to the thigh joints, beiug supported by
adjustable bauds which pass over tbe shoul
ders like suspenders. One of them, taken
from the body of an officer, had a dent in it,
made by a minnie bullet, deep enough to em
brace the head of your thumb, yet the metal
was not pierced, and the life of the wearer
was reserved to be sacrificed to an uncharita
ble bullet ia tbe head. Their weight is thor
oughly inconvenient, and must prove a terri
ble drawback to the Yankees when they run
Probably tbe next invention will be a bomb
and bullet-proof helmet, and possibly a com
plete personal masked battery. One of our
soldiers put on the shield to which I have re
ferred, and allowed another to strike him with
an iron bar with all his strength, bnt it pro
duced no more effect, except to bend the bar,
than if the blow had been aimed at a solid
rock. They are undoubtedly a great inven
tion—for cowards.
Of other trophies we have an abundance.—
Fully nine tenths of onr army are now wear
ing Federal hats and overeoats, and look like
very aristocratic Yankees, but woe to them
if they should show themsehes during a fight.
They would be killed by our own people with
out a scruple of deliberation.
Richmond Items from the Examiner of
the 23d inst.
Pardon Refused.—The President has re
jected the petition of Mr. G. H. Gilmer, pray
ing the pardon of Richards, alias Louis Napo-
'son, eonvicted of passing counterfeit Con
federate treasury notes, and sentenced by
Judge Halyburton to be hung on the 9th day
ef May next.
The criminal is said to be in a most pitia
ble condition. Terror of his approaching
fate has utterly unmanned him. He weeps
and howls day and night continually.
The Spies.—The judgment ef the court
martial in the case of Timothy Webster has
not been made known, but. it is the belief of
those who should be best informed on the
subject that he will he sentenced to be hung,
and Lewis and Scully, his aids, along with
him.
Since the arre6t of Webster it has been dis
covered that tbe woman claiming to be his
wife, and who, at the lime of his arrest, was
living with him at a respectable boarding
house, is nothing more nor less than a com
mon and notorious prostitute.
The Court of Esquiet.—Franklin Stearns
and \ alentine Hechler, charged with disloy-
ally to the Confederate States, were, on yes-
terday, again carried before tbe military
conrt of enquiry now sitting in the Law
Building, but the president of tbe court, Col.
Tansell, having pressing business in connect
tion with his regiment, without beginning the
examination the ceurt adjourned till this
morning.
John Minor Botts.—It was rumored and
believed, yesterday, that the government had
decided to send this gentleman farther Sontb
hominy, two firkins of lard, (very black and
oleaginous), one bushel of salt, (twenty-five
cents a quart), three strings of red pepper,
fifteen ears ot pop corn, (three red and twelve
yellow), four bunches of lightwood, sundry
bunehes of rhubarb, one lot of carpet slip
pers, one small lot of dried blackberries,
several small lots of dried appleeand peaches
one lot of frost bitten carrots, one bushel
white snap-beans, sundry lots of mixed beans
and sundry lots of wheat and rye, to be
bought and used instead of coffee. Butter
there was none ; fowls, dressed or undressed
none; eggs, “na ary” one.
We are informed by the clerk that a coun
tryman broght two barrels of eggs to the old
market; tut such was the onslaught made by
the women on the cart that eggs, owner and
all, were in so much danger of being cap
sized that any sale was impossible. To pre
vent a serious riot, which seemed imminent
all the eggs were sold in one lot to the pur
veyor of a military hospital.
A man, who had never heard of the low
tariff, brought a load of chickens to the Sec
ond Market; but learning that he was for
bidden to ask more than twenty five cents t
piece for them, very quietly hitched up his
horse and returned home, saying he “would
not sell chickens at that price until sugar
was put down. ”
We would Inform country people that it is
idle to make any calcucations on sugar or co
fee being put down. The military author!
ties who make the laws here, obtain their
supplies of these articles at Government pri«
ces, and don’t care a cent what others have
to pay for them, or whether they get them at
all. This is as plain as a pike-staff. When
the glorious One Hundred and Seventy-Ninth
Regiment of Virginia militia were at Camp
Lee, the government was selling its officers
(militia included) goods of subsistence at the
following prices: Coffee, per pound, 37<jcts;
beef, 8 cts. and sugar 4 cts. Wherefore
should military gentlemen concern themselves
about the price of groceries ? But of eggs
butter and fowls the government have none

•Be me faith, gmtlemen, tkem is ugly ques
tions to answer, anyhow ; an before
any of them, I’d be aftber aim ye, by yer
lave, the same thing. ”
“Well ” said tbe leader, “we are of Scott s
army, and belong to Washington. ’
‘•All right, ” said Pat, “I know d ye was a
gintleman, for I am that same. Long life to
General Scott. ”
Aha! ” replied the scout, “now you rass
cal, you are our prisoner, ” and seized him by
the shoulder.
How is that, ” inquired Pat, “are we not
friends?” , , .
No, ” was the answer; “we belong to Gen.
Beauregard’s Army. ”
“Then ye tould me a lie, me boys, and

And now tell me the truth, an 111 tell the
tn “Well, we belong to tbe State of South

“ So do I, ” promptly responded Pat, and

and there, I’m thinking, I bate the whole uv
ye. Do ye think I would come all ■ the way
from Ireland to belong to one State when I
had a right to belong to the wlole of em ?
This logic wps rather a stumper : but they
took him up, as before said, and carried him
for further examination.
The Memphis Appeal of the 20ih inst., lias
the following items : -
Beyond Humboldt.—By mem s of a train
and hand-car a run was made up tbe Ohio
railroad the other day as far as McKenzie
station. Everything along the road was per
fectly quiet; but the noise of the firing at
Fort Pillow, which is heard along a consid
erable portion of the line of the road, causes
some excitement among tbe country people.
The statement that the Federals had visited
Trezevant station proves to be false. The
Federals are reported to have occupied Paris
with fifteen hundred men. They have not
been seen at Henry since they burned the
depot there.
The Wounded at Corinth.—But few of
our wounded are left at Corinth—the greater
portion of them having been removed to more
comfortable bosp'tals than those at headquar
ters, or taken home by friends
A kind of neutral ground has been estab
lished between the two armies, upon which
both armies have established hospitals for the
use of such on both sides as were too severe
ly wounded to be removed from the battle
ground- Tbe surgeons and nurses of both
armies are allowed to pass to and fro unmo
lested, so that all are as well cared for as is
possible under tbe circumstances.
Capt. Morgan Again.—Oa Thursday last
this partisan soldier accomplished another
feat, which resulted in the capture of about
fifty of the enemy. He was scouting some
eighteen miles from Corinth, when he pb-
servod a force of Federal cavalry approach
ing. After suffering them to pass, he fell
upon their rear and bagged the whole party
almost without a struggle.
Congress Stampeded,
For fear of accidents on the railroad,
the stampeded Congress left yesterday in
a number of the strongest and slowest ca
nal boats. These boats are drawn by
mules of approved sweetness of temper.
To protect the stampeders from the
snakes and bull frogs that abound along
the line of the canal, Gen. "Winder has
detailed a regiment of ladies to march in
advance of the mules, and clear the tow
path of the pirates. The regiment is
armed with pop guns of the longest range.
The ladies will accompany the stampe
ders to a seculded cave in the mouatains
of Hepsidam, and leave them there in
charge of the children of the vicinage,
until .McClellan thinks proper to let them
come forth. The ladies return to the de
fence of their country.—Rich. Whig 22d
inst.
The Forts Below.—We are in possession
of information from Forts Jackson and St.
Philip, which we deem neither prudent nor
advisable to give publicity to. We will, how
ever, say this much, that our authorities—
nay, every man ia the city, who professes to
have a heart or a soul about him—should pre
pare to meet the issue with uublenched faces.
The hour is rapidly approaching when the
question will be solved whether or not New
Orleans will be a conquered city. The issue
is now to do or die. Who will be so craven
as to falter ?—2Y. 0. True Della, April 2Oth.

The Iron-clad Vessel Louisiana
Gentlemen just from New Orleans state
that the new iron-clad C. S. Steamer
Louisiana left the port on Sunday las
one week ago. Jf this is a fact she must
have participated in the late bombard
ment below the city of New Orleans.—
It is also probable that she may. have
been instrumental in driving off the Yan
kee gunboats and sinking two of them,
though if this had been the case the cir
cumstance would surely have been tele
graphed.
Dispatches at^the Adjutant General s
office state that the Louisiana went out
for the first time on Monday last. This
statement cannot be disputed, though it
is impossible to reconcile it with our
previous information, received directly
from one who saw the Louisiana steam up

OUR WEEKLY MARKET REPORT.
WHOLESALE PRICES.
Atlanta, April 28, 1862.
During the past week our Grocery market
has been quite active—particularly during
the latter part of the week. Receipts of Sugar
and Molasses, as usual, are light. The demand
is greatly in excess of the supply, and prices
have been tending upward. The surrender
of New Orleans to the enemy (if sueh be the
fact) will cut off any further supply of Sugar
aud Molasses from that point, and we suppose
these articles will go up to a very high figure
It is not at all improbable that Mobile will
share the same fate. Should this take place,
we will have no more Sugar and Molasses
from any point. We advise every farmer to
plant largely of the sorghum, or Chinese su
gar cane, and make syrup from it. In this
way, aud no other, wilt they be able to get
syrup till the war is over.
Operatioas in Flour have been quite active
for some days past, owing—we suppose—to
the report that Wheat has taken the rust.
This we believe is incorreot. The rust which
is now forming on the blades is not injurious.
Tbe rust which damages Wheat is formed on
the stalk in hot sultry weather, immediately
succeeding a rainy season j so we think there
need be no alarm about rust as yet.
Our Dry Goods market seems to have "gin
