PROPOSITIONS POB Tits DESTRUCTION OF THE
AI.AII VMS (290 )
Acting upon their prevailing idaa that every
thing and anything can nud should be done by
contract, a Dumber of Yankees have been making
proposals for the destruction of the Confederate
Bteamsr Alabama. The letter says .
A large number of propositions have been made
to the Navy Department for the destruction of the
pirate Alabama, provided a suitable reward should
be ottered to warraut the undertaking.
Ah a general answer to utl such applications, it
may bo safely etated there is no doubt that the
department would oheertulJy buy Itio vessel from
any party capturing her, and pay halt a million
dollars for her ; anu in the event of her destruc
tion three hundred thousand dollars —the lutier
payment, however, to be subject to on appropria
tion by Congress.
IS THE ALABAMA TH! 2901
We find, in n paragraph in the New Bedford
Sentinel, that there are grave doubts entertained
whether the Alabama is really the 290 The
Ci ptaio, Gilford, mentioned, was the Captain ot
the Yankee bark Kltsha Doubor, captured by the
Alabama The .Sentinel says
Captain Gilford is tiroily ot the opinion thatlhe
Alabama and 290 are nut the same vessels, »9 hi
frequently beard the crew of the Alabama speak
:ng of the 290 and ff the Ovieio. Some of the
newspapera, tukon from the Emily Farnham, con
taiued an account ol the 890 running the blockade
into Mobile, and co hearing it r>ud the crew ot
the Alubantu gave three cheers for the 290. .
( at, bi.deno>*4>
in the New fork Herald of the Slat lust. »e
find the following under the editorial head:
As the election returns come to band the over
throw ot tho Republican party at the polls ap
pears to be more overwhelming. It is, in fact,
the greatest political revolution that ever took
place in the couutry, not excepting even that in
Jackson's time, and at the election of Harrison.
In Pennsylvania the State ticket is carried bv the
Democracy, aud the popular branch ot tho Stale
Legislature to such uu ekteut us to secure a ma
jority oh joint ballot, so that the deteat of Wilrnol
tor another term in the Uuited States Senate is a
foregone conclusion. To squelch the author of
the tieeaoil proviso, which has had so much to
do with tho calamities ot the cation, is a blow
struck in the right place a retribution which
harmou'Zes with the fitness ot things, Grow is
also tortunataly numbered with the defunct.
Thaddeus Stephens would have shared the same
fate, had tot Mr. Buchanan ond the sympathisers
with secession appeared as hia prominent oppo
nents. Tho revolution in Ohio is still more ex
traordinary. The Demesratic majority in that
State is 13,1*00— being a gam of 50,000 Among
the deteute’d is Bingham ; and the notorious \V ade
has not the ghost of n chance of ro-aleetton to
the United Slutes Senate—another just retribu
tion over which the friends oi law and order, and
of c’oiistttutiouai rights wili rejoice everywhere
throughout the land. lu Indiana the Democrats
elected the State ticket and a major ty of both
houses of the Legislature, which will give u Dem
ocratic Senator tor the vacancy caused by the ex
pulsion of Bright. It is only in lowa that the
Republican have held their grouud, because, tTom
the distance of that State, political light reaches it

‘ Dear S r—f culled, at the request ot the Pred
dent, tn ask you to coma to the tVhils House to
row morn.ng at nine o’clock, and bring such of
y;.ur colleagues as axe in towu.”
Washington, Marob 10, lh6k.
Yesterday, on my reluru horn church, I found
M- Poatifaas'.er Gear.rui Blair in my room, writing
the abov_- note, which lie Immediately suspended
and for tally communicated the Presidents invi
tation, and staled that the President’s purpose :
Wei to tn.ro SoiAc conVci-suiion with the delegates
of Enutushy, Missouri, Marylacd, Virginia and I
Deiaware, iu explanation of his of tbe tnh Inst. j
This morning these delegations, or such of them 1
as Were in luw.i. assembled at the White Deuee i
at the appoint and Pme, and alter some tittle delay i
w,m admitted to an nud.eoco. Mr. Deary and
myself wore the only members from Maryland
present,.bud. £ think. Were tbe only members of
the defegaiioa at ibuittma in the city. I know
Ui:il Sir. Pearce, of the Beuate, and Messrs. Web
st r and (luiveit 01 the House were absent.
After tbs usual salutations and we were Seated,
the President said, iu subafance, that he had ia
vited us tc meet hint to have some oonvet eaticn
with ns in eipianauun of hie message cf the tub;
that siuoe he bai fieni it iu several ot the gentle
it n ihen present had visited him, but had avoid
ed any alius 011 to the message, and lie therefore
interred that the import Os the mt sxage had beau
ui ..understood, aud was regarded as inimical to
the interests we leprvsented, and be had resolved
he would talk with us and disabuse our minds ot
that eironeous opinion. .
The President then disclaimed any intent to in
jure the interests or wound the sensibilities of the
sliise ritutes. Ou th i contrary, hi* purpose was
to protect thu one, and lespect the other , toat we
Were engaged iu a terrible, waning and tedious
War; immense armies were iu tbe field, and must
oontmue iu the field as long as the war lasts, that
these arm] a must, of necessity, be brought into
oontac with siav .s in the Hmtea vre represefitad,
and in o'.her Elates as they advanced ; that slaves
would come to their camps, and continued irrita
tion was kept up; that he was constantly annoyed
by conflicting and antagonistic complaints; on
the othor bide a certain ci .'i complained if the
slave wad nut protected by the army, persons
w re frequently- found, , .irticipat'.Dg in these
views, acted in a a.-r u-..,n - ..lly to the rlavehoid
er; eutbi ciher baud slaveholders Complaiued
that thuir rights were inteit'ered with, their slaves
iudttoed to abscond,and protected within oor lines.
These complaints were numerous, loud and
deep; were a serious annoy a-ice to him, and em
barrassing to the prugrera of the war; that it kept
alive a spirit hostile to the government in the
Hiates vfo represented; s lengthened the hop«3 of
the Confederates that at some day the border
Sinus would uoite with them, and thus tend to
prolong the war; and lie was of opinion if this
resolution should be adopted by Congress aud ac
cepted by oor States, these causes of irritation
and these hopes would be removed, aud more
Would be accomplished toward* shortening the
»var than could he hoped tiuiu the greatest victory
achieved by Union armies; that ho made this
proposition in good laith.nud desired it to bo ac
cepted, if ut all, v ilu-i'.-.Tily, and in the same
patriotic spirit in which it was made; ihat eman
cipation was a auljeet vXtlusivaly under the con
trol of tha Statas, and must be adopted or re
jeeit and by e&sii lor itself; t'oai he did not claim nor
had this government any right to coerse them
for that purpose; that such was no part of his pur
pose in making this proposition, and he wished
it to be clearly understood that he did not expect
us then to be prepared to give him answer, but he
hoped we would take tbe subject into serious con
sideration; coufer with one another, and then
tukj such course as we lelt our duty nod the in
ter- sis of our constituents required of us.
Mr. Noeli, ot Missouri, said thut tu his State
slavery was not considered a permanent institu
tion, that uaturul causes were there in operation
wtii-h would, at no distuut day, extinguish it,
and ho did not think that this proposition was
niiCeseary lot’ that, and beaidea that he and his
friends lelt aol.citous as to the message ou ac
count of the diffeioat constructions which the
resolution and message had receive*!. The New
Y' i k Tubune was tor it, and understood it to
mean that We may accept gradual emancipation
aocuTuieg to the plan suggested, or get something
worse.
Tho President replied ba must not be expected
to quarrel with '.be New York Tribune belore tbe
right time, he hoped never to have to da it, he
wouid not anticipate events. In respect to eman
cipation in Missouri, he Slid that what had been
observed by Mr. Noeli was probably true, but toe
operation of these natural causes had not prevent
oil the initatiug conduct to which he had referred,
or destroyed the hopes of the Confederates that
Missouri Would, at gome time, range herself along
side of them, which, in bis judgment, the passage
ot ibis resolution by Congress, and its acceptance
by Missouri would accomplish.
Mr. Crisfiold, of Maryland, asked what would
he the effect of the refusal ot tho States to accept
th e proposal, and desired to know it the President
looked to any policy beyond the acceptance or re
jaction of hie scheme.
The President replied that he had no designs
beyond the actiou of the Htatee on t:,ia particular
subject. He sbould lament their refusal toneoept
it, but ho bad no designs beyond their refusal
ot it.
Mr. Mettles, of Keutucky, inquired if the Pres
ident thought thera was auy power except ia the
States themselves to carry out his scheme of eman
cipation.
Tho President replied he thought there could
not be. Bo then went off into a course o! remark
not qualifying the foregoing declaration nor ma
terial to be repeated to a just understanding of his
meaning.
Mr. Crisfield said he did not think the people of
Meryland looked upon sluvery ag a permanent in
s ltution; and he did not know that they would
be very reluctant lo give it up if provision was
mads to meet the h.»s, and they could bs rid of
the race; bat they did not like to be coerced into
emancipation, either by* direot action cf tbe gov
ernment or by indirection, os through the eman
cipation ni slaves in this District, or the confisea
tion ot Kontbarn property as now threatened ; and
he thought befure they would consent to consider
this proposition, they "would require to be Inform
ed on ih«ge points.
'1 he President repiled that “ unless he was es
pelled by the act of God or the Confederate
armies, he al.r.uld occupy that house for three
years, and ns long as he remained there Maryland
hud nothing to ftr.r, either lor her institutions or
her interests on the points referied to.”
Mr (Vistield immediately added—Mr. Presi
dent if what you now say could be heard by the
people Os Maryland, they won'd consider your
proposition with a much better feeling than, I
fear, without it, they will be inclined to da.
The President—That (meaning n publication of
wb*t he said) will not do; it would forco me into
a quarrel before the proper time. And, again in
tin.aiitig, ar ha hud before done, that a quarrel
with the ’* tlree.y tuelion” was impending, he said
bed and not wish to encounter it before the proper
time—not »t ail it it could be avoided.
Governor Wiekiiffa, ot Kentucky, then asked
him respecPng the coneti’miouaiity of his scheme.
The Prcsideut replied—As yon may suppose, I
have considered that, and the proposition bow
submit to and, es not encounter any const tutiouni
difficulty, ( proposes s mply to cooperate with
any State, by giving such State pecuniary aid
aud he thought that the resolution, as proposed
bv him, would be considered rather as the ei
pivesiou ot a eeudmsQt than asiuvulving any con
slitutionui quest.oc.
Mr. Huh, ot iliesviurl, thought that if this prop
osition w»s adopted at all, it should be by the
votes ut cbe flee Slat, S, aud COUie as a propOsi
tion Hem them to tho slave Stated, affording them
hi induesnieot to put aside the subject ei discord;
that it ought not to be ox peeled that members
representing sUToholdiug cooßiiuenoioi should
declare at once, and iu advance of auv propoaiuon
to them, for the emancipation of slavery.
The President said he saw and ttit tbs force of
the objection It w«s a tearful rsspoES.Oilliy, i
ana eveiy genitcinsn mast do as he thought best:
that he did not know how .his scheme vtus receiv
ed by the members from thj fres States; some
of them Lai spoken ,o him and received kindly; j
but tor thr a > peri tl.gy were as reserved and j
c at y ar-we h»d b. .-a , aaU ha could not tell how i

Mr f?-i .v to it i tipi o-i regarding slavery, j
tv said he did not prelead to disguise his anti- 1
sii.Terv teeiiog , .bat • thought it was wrong,
and should continue to thins so, but that was not
the question we had to deal vith now. Slavery

but the rants et prepay resulting mast be re

oy vioiauog the but by encouraging the
proposition and offetiug inducements to give it
up.
Here the interview, so far as the subject is soil-
cd.ieJ, terminated by Mr. Crittenden assuring
the President tbat, whatever might be oor final
ae ion, we all thought bimealeiy moved by a high
pa riotism and sincere devotion to the haypintss

firmly to a thick wooden sole; but the sole Useil
has a joint about halt way between toe aod heel,

Our fathers used little arlitiuial tight. They
preferred the cheap light of duv. For this reason
they went early to bed, and ware ail the more
healthy and more wealthy tor their practice The
chief tight ot their bouses, like that of the uobility
of England, a few centuries back, was u ruddy
gluro from the hearthstone.
1. Prihitivh Lights.—'Tue earliest artificial il
luminators o! which we have any record, were
lamps. These, at first, consisted ot nothing more
than a cup of oil or grease, with a wick lying
against its side, its shape was soon improved in
convenience and elegance.
2. A Hastiit Extsmporixbp Light.—The
wiitsr W as one ol s family parly who were belated
in the mountains of Georgia, and compelled to
seek shciter with a family who owued neither
lump or candle. Our ingenious hostess, howev
er, devised a light for the Fable. It was made by
means of a slice of fat bacoa, (do uot laugh, read
er, X tell the simple truth ) This slice was spread
in the bottom of a saucer, and an this was laid
some candid wick, the burning end of which was
kept eievuted by being passed through a tailor’s
thimble.
S. Rcss Lights.—Among the poor ot Europe,
a very cheap and easily made light is constructed
ot tbs ordinary bulrush stripped of its skin, except
enough to hold the internal pith together, aud
saturated with suit or w ax’
4. (JoNXiDKOATii Uandls.— This rivals tbe rush
light in simplicity, anil far exceeds it in servicea
bfenoga- To make it, melt together a pound of
beeswax aud u quarter ot a pound ot rosin, or ol
turpentine freah from tbs tree. Prepare a wick
SO or 40 yards long, made up ot three threads ol
loosely spun cotton, Saturate thig well with the
mixture, and draw it through your iiugere to proBS
ail closely together, and to keep tho Bice evon.
Repeat the process until the caudle attaiua the
size of a large straw or quill; then wi up around a
boUte, or into u but. with a fiat bottom. Six
inches of this candle elevate J above the rest will
barn ior fiiteen or twenty minutes, and give a
Very pretty light, and forty yards have sufficed a
soittli tamily a summer for ail the usual purposes
of tbs bed-uhainber.
c. Laud Tap be —Equal to our mountain friends
bacon light in cheapness, and yet more pleasantly
available tor the necessities of the sick room, ia a
light made up of u saucer half full of lard and a
little wisp ot spongy paper. The paper, twisted
so as to term a short pomtad wick with a broad
hose—say two-tbuds ot an inch high and an inch
broad —is sot iu the midst of the lard, and by the
; heat it gsuerates, aided by the shelving sides ot
| the saucer, keeps itself supplied with fuel until
vhe lard is all consumed. Tbe papers can be
shaped on the peiut of one’s finger, and the burn
ing end twisted quite small, ft shouid rest on
the oottom, and the vessel should be shallow—a
saucer, not u cup.
6. Labd Lambs At ifce present prices of illu
minating material, the most economical by tar for
those who live iu the interior and afar from gus,
is lard. This requir es u lamp whoso wiek tulrea
are of thick metal for the purpose of oouveyiuy
the heat ot the flane into the midst U the lard,
and keeping it melted around the vfiek. The lard
most be melted when tho lamp is hgbted, or it
will not burn well. Tho wtek should boos sever
al thicknesses of spongy cloth.
7. Lard Git Whoa combined with one hub
part spirits of turpentine, will burn in an ordina
ry lamp and afford a beautiful light. To obtain
the oil, enclose iard in a strong, (Rose canvas bag,
and subject to gtadually luereaned pressure. The
ndurated mass loft iu the bag Is not injured io*
culinary purposes.
3. Caudj-ss of Taxlow and PaicxiT PkA.it.—
Whoever can command ta.iow lor candies, will
greatly improve them iu firmness and iu illumi
nating power, by combining with it a ,f«w leaves
of the prickly pear, in the proportion of about one
part by weight of the last, to four or five of the
first. The leaves shouid be kept in the heated
lallow until all commotion ceases, and until the
tallow itself reaches the boiling point. Os course,
the heated mixture will need straining. It is said
by thoso who profess to know, that the longer
tallow is boiled, the whiter it becomes in ease it is
not barned ; but to avoid burniug, the venael con
taining the laliosy should be heated iu a eand bath
(another vessel purify tilled with saadj and not
set immediately ou the fire.
9. Wax C>Nni.Kß—Beeewax gives a light al
most equal to sperm. It may be moulded like
the tallow candles, or it may be rolled by envelop
ing the wick la a thin stratum of wax spread on a
board, and smoothed evenly by roll
ing between two bouids. The combination of
wax and tallow need not be suggested.
10. Wax and Rosin, mixed in equul proportions,
afford an excellent light, though liable to smoke
unless supplied with a suitable sized wick.
11. MraTut Wax is obtained by boiling the ber
ries of the swamp myrtle, ou which it is to be
seen os a greeuish white cover. The myrtle is
found abundantly in all our seaboard counties,
and has been seen by the writer as lar inland as
Macon and Forsyth. Its iavorite locality is
swampy though not wet ground. The berries
should he boiled in a bag, and the clarified wax,
which ia ot a preity green coltr, mixed more or
less largely with tallow.
la. The value of our ordinary pine tree as an
illutniuaior remains yet to he developed Car/4-
phene is nothing more tbau the highly volatile
spirits of turpentine—it is that part ot the spirit
whick lirsi rises t'icm the still after he&tiug the
virgin gum That which comes after is more
or leas mixed with the heavier roam. Hum
tag timd is made by mixingcamphine (or even the
purer varieties ol spirits of turuentiue) with four
or more times its bu'k ol u.cobol. The high
price ol alcohol has aircsied the manufacture
of burning (laid; but the campheoe remains as a
bundant as ever in the pine lorests of the whole
South, an 1 awaits only the magic touch of some
who will devise apUu for rendering iiiMtrploeive,
to furnish the country with one of tbe be6t and
cheapest lights. Will not sourbodt rnxi Roiin
is the inspissated juice ot the gum remaining in
the still alter the volatile pait, or sputt, has been
separated by heat It has resisted all efforts
hitheifo made to mould it into candles or to use it
in lamps, beiugtoo hard for the one aud too solt tor
tbe other; and, moreover, it burns with a dense
and unpleasant amoks. But the smoke may be
consumed by attaching a glaia chimney with a
sjrono draught, when a fiame is produced almost
at krttktntus that of Kerosene, and, no doubt, a sui
table lamp lor it cau be constructed. I venture
| tbe prediction teat it is yet to be used as au illumi
j natoi in oibei' ways thea s‘ the gas works.

Such of your readers as have accompanied me
in this eorrespondenca, ere prepared, doubtless,
for this new disposition of our forces. The entire
dirtr from the j&rttes river 10 the Potomac has
been fichansted of most of its d.sposabD supplies
of previsions and forage, and it it had not bevo,
the character ct the rcadj is each during tbe R io
ter and early spring as to render it exceedingly
and fficuit, if uot impossible, to subsist 80 large an
army as General Le.’a by wagou transportation
alone. In the atis-iice of tbv*> supplies in the
immedia’e vicinity, it became absolutely ntfsessa
ry for tha army to retire to soma point or points
where it could avail itsslf of ihe railway liues.
This it can easily do at lountou and b hind the -
Rappahannock. At each of these pl-.tc. a there is
also au abunda-it supply of wood and water.
A further advantage would result front tbs dill--
position o: our forces. RhoulJ they bo. needed at
Richmond, Petersburg, or on thu coast of south
Carolina aod Georgia, there would be two lines of
railroad at our command—tha one direct to rlijfi
mosd and down thu Atlantic coast, the Other lead
ing to Lynchburg and around to Petersburg, or di
rectly on to KnoxuilU, Atlanta, Savannah and
Charleston. Still another portion of the army
will prohabiy be scut to a different point, which,
for the present must b • nameless.
The press cud politician! of thu Uo tad States
have been clamorous for an advance offh- lr array j
ever since tbe battle ot Siiurpeburg, aud it is not
improbable tbit McClellan, as as fie hcr.r- of
Leo’s withdrtwal, wiil order a forward movement,
in the hope of silencing their clamor and purchat
ing a little cheap popuiari y. It it not probable,
however, that he would advance fr.r from the Po
tomac, or deceive anybody by so bold aud irons
parent a manouvre- lie would be more profit*
by encaged, if ho were to turn bis attention to
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the Winches
ter branch, of which some thirty miles of each
have been completely destroyed by our forces.
The iron, cross-ties, bridges aud station have all
been burned, blown up, or otberwiaa rendered
wholly useless.
The question of foreign recognition and inter
veutiou coutiuue to occupy the public mind here.
The opinion that this is our last cumpa'gn, and
that the war will be brought to au end in some
way or other by next spring, is, unfortunately,
extending even to official ciicies. While there is
reason to hope tbtru ate elements at work, b-'dh

Salt Wells Iti Georgia,
The Associate Editor of the Recorder has re
ceived a letter from a personal iriend in Twiggs
county, dai-d Jeffersonville, October 27, 1302,
which, though intended »s private, be takes the
liberty of publishing, for, the sake cf the inform i
tion it affords on a subject peculiarly interesting
to the pesple of Georgia at this juncture. The
writer, John H. Jones, Esq., ia a young enter
prising planter, and will, it is hoped, pardon the
publicity thus given to his name. The following
is the portion of hia letter which relates to the
discovery of suit wells, and to the manufacture of
salt:
I have just got homo from Ball, making on tbs
coast. I amd» quite a discovery while 1 was mak
ing salt, f found, when I got dowu iu Mclntosh
county,that it was impossible to maku salt uuless
you got ou the beach,and wher. you could not go
without being io dauger of the Yankees. So I set
about trying experiments. I dug a well ou the
marsh and found tbe water veiy sally. I boiled
200 gallons of tbe water und made a bushel of
beautiful white salt So you see, then, wo arc in
dependent of the bloakadera. toucan get the
springs any whore tbe lido runs—in many places
from 40 to 50 miies trorn the main Bbore.
Now, my Iriend, if 1 mistake not, Gov. Brown
offered a reward for such a discovery acme time
ago. I wish you would present my case to ban,
and call hia attention to the lact, aod that I eiaiui
the reward. I have been at couniderable expense
in finding out the thing. The C ive Spring Malt
Compauy have adopted my plan, aod are making
ten bushels now where they inaJe one beloio.
The spring water is 75 per cent, stronger t! an
tide water.
The people oa tbe coast look upon aie as a great
benefactor. In proof of what 1 say, 1 reier jcu
to J. I), or Sam McDonald, at the Oavo Spring

any gentleman in Mclntosh county, or to Dr. Du
pree, Dr. H. il Wimhrtly, Judge Fitzpatrick or
any other citikeu of Twiggs county. 1 run Sen
gallons ot kellies, und make 20 bushels oi salt per

York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquift-r

Tho Albion, of this city, which is considered
the organ ot the English population, bus u strong
intimation that we shall soon have anew difficulty
on our hands with Great Britain, in consequence
ot the "pranks” of Commodore (now Acting Ad

‘‘prank 1 ' of overhauling the English mail steam
ship Merlin (as is alleged), at the very entrance

doings was received a Halifax. the Albion says
the Admiral on that station forthwith ordered oft
the Immortalite, 5i guDS, and tbe Ariadne, 26
guns, two ol the finest ships iu tbe British navi,
The editor is al-o somewhat solicilouh to know
whether the United States gunboat Montgomery
is attached to Admiral Wilkes' commabd, as her
destruction of the steamer Blanche, ou the coas l
of Cuba the other day, would seem to show that
“her eommauder is imbued with something of hi-.
(Wilkes') spirit.” These outgivings of the Aib

Gladstone’s speech at Newcastle on the boc'v 0 of
the South, aud said that those words, as coming
from a Cabinet Minister, were of grave rigniftiua

Marvelous Esoapk from Dratq. —The Loudon
Examiner correcting a misstatement in regard to
Major-General Ponsonby, relates the following
story of another Punsonby, who w;.a at Waterloo :
Colonel Poneouby.oi tbe Twelfth dragoons, was
gv.etched wounded on me ground, aud a Polish
lancer seeing some life iu him, said, using a filthy
expression, “ ——, you uro not yet dond,” arid
deliberately ran hia lance into the disabled man's
body mote than once. Some French riflemen
then took possession of the ground where Pon
sonby lay, and they made a heap of the l odi-s
they fouu J on the spot to serve aa a sort ot par.i
pet Iroui behind which they fired kneeling, i'o.i
sonbv had the luck ol being placed at tbe top of
the pile, and the rifleman who was using bis tody
as a shield and rest, perceiving gome signs ot life
in him, instead es acting agfhe savage, dasturdly
lancer had done, gave him a drink of brandy out
of his flask. As the day wore on, PoYtsonby’s suf
fering became so intolerable that he implored the
tnenaiy 100 to put bis rifle to bis head and dis
patch him, but the gallant fellow suid, “No, cheer
up, the day’s your own, we Rfe in full retreat,
farewell, I must ba off.”
We are atraid to say how many wounds Pon
sonby had, we believe they were not under a do
zen, and Isia survival Was attributed to his re
maining on the ground exposed to the cold (for
cold it was, though midsummer) for nearly forty
eight hours, which kept down fever thut would
otherwise have supervened, lie recovered to tell
tiie story wo have repeated, nud few finer looking
men could be seen than be was, after baviug been
riddled and pierced with a dozen wounds.
But mark what death was in store for a man
who had survived what we have faintly described.
The hero died of the merry thought of a chick
en Hu was choked by n chicken bone ot Mnrrat

years after his escape of all the horrors of the

striking the saddle. -Tbe bone wa broken al ;ut

I counsel I wi h to present to my fellow eolJiers
same facta ascertained while in Au uHaat.dother
neighboring cit.es. which, if known, might be in
strumental in enabling them to be more guarded
in their transactions, aud stir up their indepen
dence, pride, and self sacrifice to greater deeds
than they are aware of. The South is iuliy iu
fomed, tbat it is with difficulty clothing it fur
nished for her soldiers —and yet she (I meau her
Representatives) allow her merchants to specu
late upon her soldiery with complacent zeal and
ask such exorbitant prices for goods that only
coat the dealer a mere trifle. For iustauee I find
common cotton goods—colored—cost seven pence
a yard, selling lorn aud 7 dollars made up in
shirts. Now see the speculation and the profit,
these same goods cost in good times 12)£ cents
per vurd, 8 yards makes a shirt, at 12>£ cents per
yard -equals 87 cents for cloth to make one shirt
and say at * i 00 for making equals $1 37cents.
Now increase this 200 per cents profit, aud you
will see that the merchants are making oil every
shire |4.loLj cents. Now the most of these goods
cannot be sold iu any other way than tor shuts,
consequently they are kept <1 band lor a long
liti-e, aud ate what the timber mer chant* would

a nett profit oft! 15% cents on aco3t of 50% cts.

yet such is permitted by those who can legislate

liolder, bat v/Ueu the “Conßderate Corner Stone”

Soldiers of this Cuni' deracy, there is but one
course for you to pursue. (I have not time to Ex
hibit it iu nil its lights—this dark, nefarious,
and damnable scheme of speculation throughout
the whole Southern States.) Aud that will, fu any
way, tend to clothe the army, and make the exi
gency of the times equal in a common sacrifice.
If you forfeit your life, let these pseudo-merchaut
patriots forfeit thoir goods to clothe you, while
battling for them and your country. lam aware
that many logical deductions can be inferred from
this, antagonistic to true moral principle. But I
uphold there is no room for morality where it ia
sheltered by faint pretext. Will someone, who
can wioid the pen ss well as I can the sword,

to their caprices.

The Other Side- —A correspondent of tbe Rich
mond Enquirer, at the rtquestof Rev. R. J. Graves,
who has just returned from a six week’s sojourn
in the North writes that paper, contradicting all
the statements in regard to an anti-war feeling in
the North. Mr Graves was in New York three
weeks, iu daily converse with bankers, merchants,
politicians, lawyers, and all the organs of popular
opinion. He says the North und West are now in
a condition of extraordinary prosperity—growing
rich taster than ever before, and all the talk of
a weariness of the war in those sections is utter
ly groundless. The idea, too, of restoring the
“Union as it was” is geneially abandoned; but the
great purpose ot establishing one govormeut over
the whole territory within the late United States,
is stronger than ever. What sort of a govermeut,
they are quite indifferent to- but they prefer auy
other to a republio. They only wish astrong gov
ernment —ene able to crush out all opposition, and
they do not believe a republic strong enough. As
to crushing out the rebellion they httve neither
doubts nor fears. They hare not yet begun to
bring the power of the North tp bear upon it, bat
this winter they mean we shall learn something
of their ability to destroy us, and by their immense
armies and emancipation schemes put the knife
to the throat of every man, woman, and child, if
tbe rebellion holds out.
