NOW TOO LATE TO RETIRE
. THE CONTEST. THERE IS NO
RETREAT BUT IN CHAINS AND SLAVE
RY.”—Patrick Henry in the first Revolution.
The Public Good.
As public journalists, we hold that the
public good— tbe best interests of the ooun-
Iry—should be paramount to all personal or
private interests. As the publishers of a
newspaper, it is but natural that we should
endeavor to lay before our readers every
item of interesting news that we can pro
cure. This is our profession. But if the
public good requires that anything be with
held from the public, it is our duty to do so,
and we have heretofore fully acted up to
this duty, and shall eentinue to do sc. We
have often been iQ possession of important
information, and matters of the highest im
portance are now within our knowledge
which we have not laid before the public,
nud no consideration could induce us to
make such matters known to the world
through our columns.
The government, and the commanders of
the army have seen proper to expel corres
pondents from their lines, and to establish a
censorship over the transmission of news by
telegraph, for the purpose of keeping cer
tain matters from the public. By this they
keep from us much that we are entitled to,
and the publicity of which could not possi
bly do us any harm. While this is positive
ly cruel and unjust, to the country which
fas made and sustains the army, we are not
disposed to make an issue with them on this
subject. We will endure it, and hope that
no harm may come of it: and we again re
peat that we never have, in a single instance,
published anything that could damage our
cause, and never shall, if we know it at the
time.
We have always entertained the opinion
that a candid, properly tempered critioism
upon the conduct of men holding offioeB of
trust and high responsibility, was an impors
tant and wholesome check agaiast the neg
lect of duty, and abuse of power. It is the
privilege—nay the duty of every freeman,
to make suoh criticisms, and it is especially
tbe duty of the press. We are opposed to
auy captious untimely or unjust oritioisms.
We have not made them, and shall not; but
those which are prompted by patriotio mo
tives, and are in good temper, should be
made on ever proper occasion, and no one
should object to it. It is the safety of re
publican government—the balance-wheel,
which regulates the machine. Without it,
republican institutions cannot exist. We
have heretofore endeavored to exercise this
privilege whieh is l he birthright of a free
man, with good temper and discretion, and
with only one objeot in view: the public
good.
In any striotures on publio men or meas
ures, which we have made, or shall hereaf
ter make, wo have no intention to injure in
any way the great cause we have so much
at heart, and in which our whole people are
struggling with a unanimity and heroio for
titude under adverse circumstances—suoh as
the world never witnessed before in any peo
ple.
We have frequently expressed our entire
confidence in the exalted oharaoter, patriot
ism, gallantry, and devotion to onr oause of
President Davis, while dissenting from some
features of his administration. In many of
our men in high places, and the command
ers of our armies, we have the eame confi
dence in their devotion to the cause, their
activity and competency, while in some oth
ers, we have not this confidence. Whenever
any of their acts—results before onr eyes,
which all can see and oomprehend—show
them to have pursued a wrong policy; to
have been negligent or incompetent, we
hare exercised the privilege to say jo.—
We do now, and we always did, regard it
our duty to do so on all proper occasions—
when we supposed it was likely to do any
good. Where there are so many positions
to fill, some bad, corrupt, and incompetent,
men will ring in. If the press of the coun
try did not speak oat and condemn the
conduct of the unprincipled and incom
petent, and criticise the failures or slan
ders of even good men, the management
of onr public affairs would soon fall into the
hands of, and be controlled by the worst of
men. Criticisms on public men or measures
do more good than people generally suppose,
and those who condemn such oritioisms no
doubt look only on one side of the piotnre.
So now, if those who hold the reins think
best to cat off all correspondence by letter
and telegraph from points of interest, be it
•o. We have given our opinion of such n
policy. If it is for the best we shall bs
benefltted; and if for the worst, we shall
have discharged onr duty, for we have con
demned it. W* shnll make no farther com
plaint, unlpsa new features are developed

Rioh and poor—all elasses alike, are deter

to encourage this feeling in every possible

have concluded that our great sufferings and
losses of life and property will redound to
our general good in the end. Tnis war was
a necessity to alienate us from our hateful re
lations with the Yankees, and free us from
the toils which our national association with
them was surely winding around us ; and
then these sufferings will cure us of some of
our own follies. When we win our indepen

Salt Licks iu Mississippi.
We have a letter from Rev. Wui. A. Key,
of Neshoba County, Mississippi, dated the
4th inst., in which he says :
“ I have a large “lick”on my place. I ka\e
punched down into the ground seven feet,
and ound sa't water. I boiled three quarts of
it, and made ono gill of strong salt, and oth
ers have been experimenting in tho same way
with similar results. The salt is not as clear
and white as common salt, but it is strong —
These 1 cks are numerous in many of the
eastern counties of Mississippi, and I have
no doubt that if we knew the proper process,
we could make plenty of salt.
“Therefore, please rt quest somo person to
give, through your paper, the process of mak
ing salt from salt water. I will esteem it as
a favor, and it may largely benefit the pe >ple
of the Confederate States.”
A Rare Chance for Soimbody.
We call attention to the advertisement of
the Franklin Printing Company ia our paper
to-day. It is probably the most complete
and extensive establishment in the Confed
erate States—certainly the most of any out
side of Richmond. The presses, engiue,
tools, and all of the type are new, having
been very little used, except the news type.
All the book and job type arc as good as if
newly opened.
Tbe whole is in good condition, having
been well cared for, and not in any way
abused. This ia a rare chance for a No. 1
investment.
Searching of Mrs. Gen. Lee’s House by
the Yankees.
The Bpecial correspondent of the New York
Herald writes from the “Camp on the Chick-
ahominy.”
The country, as we progress, becomes more
open and diversified, and houses, which,
since we left the immediate vicinity of York-
town, were few and far between, now spring
up from points on every side, and give to the
country an air of civilization wh ch is re
freshing to behold. Some of these residences
still retain their look of cheerfulness, and
not a few of them are inhabited by the fam
ilies of the owners, minus the males, with
the exception of those who are of such an ad
vanced age as to be unable to enter the army
of Jefferson Davis In one of these houses,
distant about seven miles from Richmond,
and now some miles within owr lines. was
found the family of the rebel General Robert
Lee, consisting of Mrs Lee, her daughter-in-
law, the wife of Col. Lee, of the Kent Caval-
fy, and two nieces. From what I can learn
concerning them, it appears that they were
sent here from Richmond by General Lee
about six days before our forces advanced
and took possession, and have been living
here under guard of Union soldiers since the
arrival of our advanced guard. When the
grand army came up, one of our general Bent
a party of soldiers to search the house occu
pied by Mrs. Lee and family, with a view to
secure some valu-ble papers whieh were sup
posed tq. be secreted in the house. Tho sol
diers made the search, and, after having be
come satisfied that there was nothing con
traband, except the ladies, on the premises,
were about to depart, when Mrs, Leo handed
a note to the officer in charge, which was di
rected t» the commanding officer of the divi
sion, with the request that it should be hand
ed to him in person. The note was delivered
per instructions, and is as follows :
To the General in Command:
Bib: I have patiently and humbiy sub
mitted to a search of my hoase by men under
your command, who are satisfiel that there
is nothing here that they want ail the plate
and other valuables having long since been
removed to Richmond, and are now beyond
the reach of any Northern maraudei who
mav wish for their possession.
WIFE OF F.OBERT LEE,
General C. S. A.
What this note was intended foi is plainly
to be seen ; and how it took the General can
be better imagined than written: but wbat
occasions most is the fact of their having
been sent to this place by General Lee, who
could not but know that our troops would
take possession of the place in a few days—
perhaps hours Is it safer for the families of
ginia, would respectfully represent that they
have been subjected to wrongs and injuries
of a character so oppressive and irremedia
ble, without interposition on your part, that
they feel it alike to be their right and duty
to lay the facts before your Excellencies,
and to ask at your hands that relief to which
they are entitled, and which they cannot
hope to obtain from any other source.
During the last winter and fall, it became
apparent that, in all probability, there would
be a great scarcity of provisions in the re
spective States of which your memorialists
are citizens; and, for the purpose of reme
dying this state of things, your memorial
ists, and others, invested large sums of mon
ey in the purchase, in the Stale of Lousi-
&na, of sugar and molasses for inipment and
sale in their respective States. In conse
quence of the blockade of tbe coast, and the
closing of the Mississippi Sound to com
merce, by the presence of Federal war ves
sels, your memorialists were compelled to
seek transportation for their sugar and mo
lasses by means of the Mississippi river, in
connection with the Southern railroad at
Vicksburg, and the Memphis and Charleston
railroad at Memphis. Accordingly, your
memorialists commenced the shipment of
their sugar by these routes. These ship
ments from New Orleans commen ted as ear
ly as the middle of Decembe,r last, and were
continued during the months of December,
January, February and March. Oa reach
ing Vicksburg and Memphis, the several rail
roads stated that, iu consequence of their
roads and rolling slock being, in a great de
gree, appropriated by the Confederate Gov
ernment, they were unable to furnish trans
portation for the property of your memori
alists, w'ich, consequently, remained in
Vicksburg and Memphis, exposed to rain
and sunshine, and daily losing ia weigbt )
and deteriorating in value. Your memori
alists either came in person, or sent agents,
from time to time, at great trouble and ex
pense, to hasten the shipment of their goods,
but were always met with the answer to ev
ery request to forward, that the Government
had the control of, cr were using tbe roads,
and shipmenls could not be made. Although
your memorialists were put to great trouble
and expense, and suffered heavy losses by
these delays, and although they knew that
the people of their respective States were
thus compelled to pay three or four times
as much for these articles as they had been
accustomed to pay, or as they, in fact, ought
to have paid, yet your memorialists did not
wish to complain, and bore without mur
muring what the military necessitin^of the
country seemed to impose. At lenj.'u, after
a lapse of many mouths, your memorialists
were enabled, on the surr-eder of New Or
leans, and tho danger o: Vicksburg and
Momphis being also taken by ibe enemy, to
effect a removal of theic sug.u- and molasses
from these respective places. This removal
was only effected at great cost, labor and
expense, and being very hurriedly done,
resulted, necessarily, in heavy losses and
sacrifices. The sugar was left by the rail*
road agents at almost every station on the
line of the road, and your memoria’ists now
have, between Vicksburg aud MeridiaD, three
or four thousand hogsheads of sugar, and
twenty-five hundred to three thousand bart
rels of molasses scattered along the railroad
at various points, mostly without shelter or
protection of any kind, and preyed upon by
straggling soldiers, by slaves of the planta
tions near which it ha3 been thrown out,
and without auy shelter from rain or sun
shine.
But, to complete the chapter of wrongs to
which your memorialists have been exposed,
they beg leave to state that, on the 25th day
of May last, an order was issued by J. E.
Slaughter, Brigadier and Inspector Genera
in the Confederate army, directed to Major
A. B. Pearce, of the Commissary Depart
ment at Jackson, by which he was ^directed
to “ take possession of all 6ugar and molasi
ses at Jackson ard Big Black, belonging to
non-resident parties, and to give the Rail
roads and agents of said parties receipts re
leasing them from responsibility for it, and
to hold the sugar and molasses aul ject to tbe
order of Col. R. B. Lee, Chief of Subsis
tence, and to report to him the quantity ta
ken,” Your memorialists hereto append a
copy of this order. A subsequent order was
issued, as your memorialists have been in
formed, to seize ail.the sugar and molasses
at any place on the R.ailroad in the State of
Mississippi belonging to non residents of the
State of Mississippi ; and, under these two
orders, the sugar and molasses of your mem
orialists have been seised and taken out cf
their possession by agents of the the Con
federate Government. These agents have
made no compensation to your memorialists
for the sugar and molasses so taken. They
refuse to remove it to places of safety, or to
permit your memorialists to do so. They
refuse to give any receipts for it, or in any
way to account for it, while every day adds
to the loss of jour memorialists, who seem
to have no means of redress.
Your memorialists protest against these
orders as unconstitutional, because the prop
erty of the citizens, under the Constitution,
cannot be taken for public use without just
compensation ; and oppressive and partial,
because it exonei ales the sugar and molas-
rabel generals to be within the lines of the
despised Union army? or have the tables
been turned and the army of Jeff. Davis taken , ... •
up that which was ascribed to the army of j 8es of the resident cf Mississippi from sen
Aoraham Lincon, vi*: the burning of prop- ure, and only seizes that of parties residing
erty, ravishing of innocent females, ana lay- 1
ing desolate the happy firesides of pe&ceml
citizens, whose only wish has been to be “let
alone V We live with the expectation of
seeing Mrs. Davitjand family within the pres
ent week and of welcoming her to the care
of Union soldiers.
in other States. Why this partial discrim
ination your memorialists are unable to say.
While it is trne Mississippi is nobly acting
her part at the present juncture of our af
fair your memorialists are not aware that
the States of which they are citizens have
been laggard in the cause. Mississippi
has had uninterrupted commerce with New
Orleans daring the past winter and spring,
and oocld, and no doubt has, supplied her
self with as mnch sugar and molasses as, at
reasonable prices, her people will consume.
But far different is the case with other
States, equally entitled to the consideration
of the Government, and which, in conse
quence of th9 causes heretofore detailed,
have been cut off from their usual supplies,
and can now only get them at a price so
high as almost to place them out ct the reach
of the poor man.
Your memorialists understand that, in
some instances, these agents of the Confed
erate Government have pretended to pay
pafties similarly situated with your memo
rialists, by allowing them four or five cents
per pound, when they well knew, as every
one else did, ihat the sugar so paid foroould
not bo bought anj where for less than twice
ur three times the money. Your memorial
ists are also informed that the agents of the
Government are, in many instances, ex
changing the sugar so seized with the citi
zens of tho State of Mississippi lor bacon.
But why, if they need the bacon, they do
not seize it es well as the sugar of non resi
dents, your memorialists are unable to
state.
In some instances,* as your memorialists
have been iuformed—and they do not doubt
the truth of it—the officials and agents of
the Government are selling sugar seized by
them under these orders ; but who reaps the
profits of these tran-actions your memori
alists are unable te state. But it is very
clear there could exist no necessity for this
seizure in the wants of the Government, if,
after it is seized, it can be put tn tho market
by the Government agents.
Your memorialists would, perhaps, have
borne these wrongs in silence, if they did
not know that by some arrangements made
with the officials of the Government, other
parties more favored were able to ship large
quantities of sugar und molasses, and thus
to reap large profits cut of the wants of the
people, aud the scarcity of these articles,
while your memorialists are suffering heavy
losses, and denied all redress or remedy in
the premises. Under such circumstances,
your memorialists do not know how else they
can have their wrongs redressed, but by the
interposition of the Executive power of their
several States, and they pray that such ac
tion may be takon promptly in the premises
as will relieve them, and place them on an
equality with other citizens of the Confeder
acy, and secure to them these rights, which
all are now engaged in a common cause to
maintain.

Our Siew Terms.
OatheJSthof April our increased Terms
went into operation. We very much re
gret the necessity which compels us to take
this step in order to insure onr ability to
keep up the publication of our paper. We
cannot afford to publish it at a loss, and we
know our patrons do not desire us to do so.
When the cost of paper, ink, and everything
connected with the publication of a first class
daily paper, again diminishes, we will either
reduce our terms or increase the size of our
paper.
Our object has been to make our paper
useful by an extended circulation, at rates
so low that every body could afford to sub
scribe. We have succeeded in getting a very
large circulation, and if times bad remained
as they were when we commenced the paper,
we weald now, with onr large circulation,
have been able to increase its size and en
hance its interest.
We shall labor earnestly to make our paper
useful and interesting. Our object shall be
to serve the people and promote the best in
terests of the coantry. We shall do this as
cheap as we possibly can, sv> as to make our
paper meet expenses.
Excitement in Maryland.
Baltimore, May 28, 1862.
Last Saturday, Deputy Provost Marshal
James L. McPhail, by order of General Dix,
commanding this department, proceeded to
Easton, Taiflpt county, Maryland, to arrest
Judge Richard Carmichael, Judge of ths
county, and James Powell, Prosecuting At
torney, upon a charge of treason.
Marshal McPhail, with several officers, ar
rived at Easton on Saturday evening and
too* lodgings at the Easton Hotel. Early on
Sunday morning the purpose of their visit
was rumored, and a fellow named McNabb
was actively engaged in exciting the people.
Some persons called on the Marshal and sta

be resisted by at lea-t one hundred armed
men.

In the meantime the Marshal and his offi
