My own opinion is that there is enough m the bands of speculator, bid owuv in the cellars uiul other places in cities and to ads, t > supply the rest | of the demand. This will only bo brought out a tew sacks ut a lime, and sold at most cxorbiluui prioes, under the influence of a, panic produced bv ibe supposed detioiency iu the supply. If the Uouerul Assembly now iu session si oul i feel authorised to pass a law empowering some officer of this State, to open the dark places where the salt is hid and bring It to light, uud to pay the 1 bolsters reasonable and just compensation lor it, und to distribute it at fair prices among the desti tute portion ol our people, such relief would be afforded as wouid give new streogth and vigor to our cause. If it m objected that this can only bo done by the Htute for publio use, it seems to my miud to be a sufficient reply to say, that when the very eststenoe of the State is threatened, end our people are aotually suffenug tor one of the most indispensable necessaries of life, when our armies iu the field are likely to be demoralised by the accounts of t,e sutlering it those dependent upon them at borne, and when not only the whole pro perly of the State, but the life and liberty of every i« at aUkd—that which aflorda anbstantml und indiiptngablo relief, may properly betaken to u?ert this great public calamity ; and that such taking ie as much an appropriation ol private property for public use, as is the taking ot the farmer's bacon and corn to support the army which Is kept in the field to delend the existence of the State. 11 the armv is not supported, w e oTo oooquered i and if the army is de noralized by the sufferings of their families and friends ut home, caused by the uuholy exactions of heartless cor morants who, for the sake of gain, will iced upoo Uxe very vitals or society, the same result unul follow. But I urn digressing somewhat from the paYpo ge of this letter. To your inquiry about iransportdWua, I u.*»c to reply, thst the’railroads through East 'l'eunes gxe hare not sufficient rolling stock to meet ihe demands of the military an I other local busilusj, aud transport our salt It is therefore uuce',s»i > tor u* to send trains from this State, to do our uwn carrying. 1 have recently sent as inauy tiuias tkom the State Hoad as we could possihJy spare, hut on account of the heavy demands made upon our Road by the Goverumeut for transportation since the return of Genera! Bragg’e army to East Tennessee, and of the tact that ivs have already tost 180 cars while ou other Hoads, under ihe con i irol of the military, which were w letly cut oil while upon the Memphis X Charleston Road when the Abolitionists took Huntsville, it is im possible for the State Road to sapp y the utcee taiy engines sad cars to bring .11 the fait wbui Ssttviile. Uis understood that there is an ac cumulation ol about oue hundred car-loads of salt for Gteorgta there at present. Iu this state of things, I appealed to somo ot the Presidents ct the .ompany Reads in this Slate for assistance. Mr Cuyier, the President of the C. K Road, prompilv put s 'raia subject to my direction, aud oars enough from the Sourh Western Road to make up pert ot another train. Soon alter this the Ueueral Assembly passed a resolution a w theming me to aeita trains for this purpose iu case l cannot obtain them upou reasonable terms, to bring in the State's salt now at the works.— This resolution limits the power to seize cars to such number as may be necessary tor the removal ot the present accumulation only, and dues not provide lor like emergeuoiee iu future. Belioviua that this was an oversight in the Legislature, 1 cannot doubt t&*t they will so amend the resolu uon asl to provide for tbs transportation o! the future Cine as well as tbs present production ot oor works. Since the resolution was passed, Mr. Scott, of the M. A W. K Road, has sent ono engins and ux cars, to which Mr. Cut Ur has nddsd cars to.make'up the balancs ot the iru u, sod Judge King of the Georgia Road has also rot apart a train for the salt service.

Peters . . burg Pauis, October 80, 1862 | Europe watches with painful interest tbe Strug- i j glo which has been raging more than a year upon ; too American coot-men-. Tbe hostilities havo f prowoked sacrifices and efforts certainly of a na ture to inspire tba pereeverence and energy of tbe two populations. But Ibis spectacle, which does so much honor to their courage, is only giv en at tbe price of numberless calamities ipyi u ! oroOignons effusion of blood. To these rrtStii of f cmFwsr, which, from tue very first, assumed ! vast proport’ons, there is still to be added tbe apprehension of servile war, which would be the culminating point ot so many rrtparable disas ters. The suffering of a nation towards which we have always professed a sincere friendship, would have suffice ! to excite the sincere solicitude oi tbe Emperor, even bad we ourselves uot suffered by the counter blow of these events. Under tbe influence oi intimate relations which : exteus.ve intercourse has multiplied between the various regions of the globe. Europe baa suffer td from the consequences of the ensis which has due l i p one of the most fruitful eouicea of pub lic wealth, and which baa became, fir the great cenlie* or labor, a cause ol most sad trials. As loiiai. aware, when the conflict commenced, we held Hour duty to observe tbe most strict usu trallty in concert wi'h other maritime Powers, and the Washington Uabiuet has repeatedly ac knowledged tbe honorable manner with which we adhered to that line ol conduct The scuti meats dicta.ei to us have undergone no change but of a benevolent character. That neutrality, instead of imposing upon ibe powers ibo attitu e which might resemble md-ffsrence, ought rather to make them of service to the two parties by helping them out of n podition which seems to have no issue. Erom the caaunecciaieat ot the War an armed force was set on foot by tbe bet lig> rents, which, since tbeu, lies been almo.tt cun stuiitly kept up. Alter so much bloodshed they are now, in that respect, utariy in tbe same pc - sitiou, nothing authoriz-ng tbe presumption that more decisive military ope;atioos.will shortly oc cur, according to the lasi news received in Eu tope. Th two armies, on tbo contrary, were in a condition that would uot allow ci.her party to hi pa within a br-et i-eluy lor uny decided advan* tags to turn the balance and accelerate the cou etbaiou o! a peace. All theeo (lireu-yetaucls, taken together, point to the opportunity ol an arrnist ce, to which, moreover, uudcr ti.e present Circumstances, uo strategical objection cau be made. Tbo favorable disposition-towards pesc which are beginning to manifest lUemsrlves in the North us well as the .South might, on the other fiund, second steps that might bi made to revorn mm 1 ilia idea ot truce The Emperor has, there so e, thought that tbo occasion lias presented itsolt of offering to the belligerents the aupport of lbs good cilice jol the Maritime Powers, and hia Majetlv has charged uie t, inuke t a preposition of ibis government to her Britat.ic Majrsty, as well us lu ti.e Court of Russia. The three Cabinets would . xei i their influence at Washington, as a U aj with the Confederates, to obtma aSi arm istici (pi* six oioutbd, dm-i g which, every act ol war, direct, eh-ouid provibuinally cease, on sea us well us oil laud, aud it m'ght Pc, il necessary, ulteriorally prolonged r l'he overtures, 1 need uot say, sir, would not imp f, on our part, any judgment on theorigio or issue n.‘ F.- thiuggle, nor any pr.-- -rc uj.on^the negotiations which might, it is to he hoped, ensue in lavor ifan ri oiistice. Our task would consist s .le’-v iu omao'.hiug down obstacles, and in inter fering only iu a measure determined upon by the two parties We should nol, m lact, bei eve our— ;>lvee calUd upon to decide, fiat to piep ™ l ‘*° solution ot the (RlficuUien which have hitherto j opposed reconciliation between the belligerent j parties. Would not, moreover, an agreement be | tween the three Ooutts respond sufficiently to their intentionsV Won dit not give to their step the character if evident impartiality ? Ac iog in concert, they would couibiue ibe cocd.tiocs beat suited to inspire confidence —tbe government ot the Emperor, by* the constant tradition ot French policy towards the United States—England, by the communi.y cf race - Kusda, by tbe- marks of friendship she has uevtr ceased to show to the SVaabington Cabinet. Should tbe event not jusftly the hope of the throe Powers, and should the ar dor ol ibe struggle overrule tbe wisdom of their councils, this attempt would not ba the leas hono rable for them. They would have’ fulfilled a duty ot humanity, more especially indloated iu a war which bus excited passions which render all direct attempts at negotiation more difficult. It is the mission wb cli international law assigns neutrals, ut tbo same time that it prescribes to them a strict impartial ty, and they could never make a nob'er use of their influence by endeavoring to put an cud to a strugglo which causes so much guttering, ud compromises such great interests throughout the whole world. Finally, tv n without immediate results, these overtures would not be eutirely useless, for they might encourage public opiuiou to views of con ciliation, and thus contribute to hasten the moment when the return o! peaca might become possible. 1 request you, sir, in tbe name ot hid Majasty, to submit tbess considerations to Lord llusstdl or toVr.nce (fortschokotl, bogging him to state tbe views of the government of her Britannic Majesty or lbs Courts oi Russia. Urouyn Dk L’Hpvs. earl kosssl s Hirer. Fokeion Office, Nov. 14, 1562. The following dispatch was addressed by Earl Russel to Earl Cowley, her Majesty’s Ambassador at Pai ls ; Foheion Office, Nov. 13, 1862. My Lord -The Count Do Flahault cams to tue Foreign office by appointment, on Monday, the 10 iust , and lead to me a dispatch from if llrouvn de 1 tluys. relttt ug to the civil war in North Aiueiha. In this despatch Die Minister for Fore go Affairs states that the Emperor bus tollovved with painful interest the struggle which has now beea. fc oing on lor more than a year on the American continent. He does justice to the energy sad perseverance which have been dis played on both sides, but he observes that these prools of their courage have been given at the expense of innumerable calamities and immense bloodshed To these accompaniments ol the civ:i emdcl.a to bo added she apprehension of s i vile war, which would bo the cilmai of so many irreparable wietorkunes li these calamities uivtci on y these Buffeting* of a friendly nution would be eaougb to excue the anxiety and sympathy ol the Emperor; hut Dumps has also suffered in one ot the principal branches of her industry, and her art Hans have been subjected to uost ciuel trials. France and the maraiime powers have, d-un j the struggle, maintained '.he strides, neutrality; bat the sentiments by which !' r arc animated, far from imposing ou taom anything like indifference, seem, on the contrary, to require that they should assist the two belliger ent parties is an endeavor to escape from a posi tion which appears to have no issue. The forces of the two sides have hitherto fought with balanced success, uud the latest accounts do not show any prospect of a speedy termination of the war. These circumstances taken together, would seem to favor the adoption of measures which might bt ug about a truce. The Emperor of tne j French, therefore, is of the opinion that there is | now au opportunity ot ottering to the belligereuts 1 the good otlices of the maritinie Powers. He j therefore proposes to her Majesty, as welt as to j the Kmperor ol Russia, tost the taree Courts j should endeavor, both at Washington and iu com- ; municalion with the Confederate States, to bring | about a suspension of arms forsix months, during J which every act o! hostility, direct and indirect, i should cease at sea as well as on land. The ar- ! ima ice, might, w necessary, be renewed for a further peri; and I »pu post.!, i)i*uyu ds I’tluys proceeds to say, wvU and not mply ou the part of the three pow ers any j idgmeot on the origin ot the wsr, or any > preasurwon tbs negotiations for peace, which it is hoped would take place during . the armistice. The ti.iee Powers would oniy interfere to smooth the obstacle!, and only within the limits which the two interested parties would prescribe. The -French government is of the opinion that eveu in the event of a failure of immediate success, these overtures might bo useful in leading the minds of men now heated by pass-ion to consider the advantages of conciliation and peace. Such is in substanoe the proposal of the covern | uient of the Emperor of the french, and 1 need hardly sav that it has attracted the serious at - tention of her Majesty s government. Her Majesty ,s desirous of acting in concurrence with France upon the great questions now agitating the world, and upon none more than on the contingencies Connected with the great struggle now going on in North America. Neither ner. Majesty, the Queen, nor the British nation will ever forget the noble and emphatic manner in which the Emperor of the French vindicated the laws of nations, and assisted the cause of peace in the Instance of the Miture of the Confederate Commissioners on hoard the Trent Her Majesty's government recognises with pleasure the deeigu of arresting - the progress of lie war by friendly measures, tbe Benevolent views and humane intention! of the Mmperor They are also of the opinion that if t the step* proposed were to be taken, the concur - l renoe of Raasia would be extremely desirable. AUGUSTA, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1662, Her Majesty’s government hare, however, not been informed up to the pns nt time that the Russian government have agreed to o-operats with England and France on this occasiou, al though that government may. euppoit the en deavois ot England amt France to attain tbe end proposed Hut is the end pioposed attainable at the pres. n“. moment by the course suggested by tie governmtnt of F'raacer Such is the question which has bean anxiously and cue ully examined by her Majesty’s govern ment. Alter weighing all the information which has been received from America, her Majesty's government are led to the conclusion that there is no ground at tbe present moment to hope (hat the Federal government would accept the propo sals suggested, a:.d a refusal from Washington at the present lime would prevent acy speedy renew al of tbe oifen. Her Majesty’s government think, taere'ore, that itwould be better to watch careful ly tba progress of opinion in America, and if, as there appears reason to hope, it may ba found to have undergone, or may undergo hereafter, anv change, the three courts might then avail themselves of such change to otter their friendly counsel with a greater prospect than now exists of its acc p'sd by tae two contending par- Hir Majesty's government will communicate to that of Franca any intelligence they may re ceive from Washington or Richmond bearing on this important subject. Your Excellency may read this dispatch to 41. Drouyn de i’ Huye, and give him acopy of it. * Rosssll. axecY OP RUSSIA TO iHK proposition op francs. St. Pktkbsbdroh, Nov. 15, 1362. The Journal of St. Pet-rsburgh contains the replv of Piinca Uortehakott to the note of Drouyu de I’Huys, which is iu substance as follows; After r-.calling the roafctaot ettorts of Russia iu favor of conciliation, Prince ii ortchakofl' says that it is requisite, above all .things, to avoid the ap pearan e of any pressure whatever capable of chilling public opinion in America, or oi exercis ing the susceptibility of that nation We believe that a combined measure ct the three great Pow ers, however conciliatory, if presented iu an oQi cial or officious character, would bs the cause ot arriving ut a result opposed to pacification. Ts, however, France should persist in her intention of mediation, and England should acquiesce in her course, instructions shall be 3ent to Baron Sioeckl ut Washington, to End lo 'botb his colleagues there tthe French an i English Ministers), if not official aid, at least his moral support . OPINIONS tip IWK S.NGLUH PRgMj Livkrpool, Nov. 15 -P. M. The London Morning Herald bitterly denounces the uon-in erverition policy of the British govern ment, and says that the language of Lord John Russell's dispatch “mocks tbe hopes and insults the misery of halt a million starving English labor ing men.” The Uerand* theu thar-ges the Cabinet with “abj'Ct patience and dastardly submission in order to retain the Parliamentary support of the Bright and Uobdon party. The London Daily News thinks that Lord Hus sill’s answer is the best that could have been m da. without entering uuueceEsarily upon a dis cussion ot the niei Us of the cuss, aud tejoioes at having escaped from entangling diplomatic as sociations with France. • Savage Mubdeu of a Georgia SoLpiEß. —We learn from a merchant of this city, who has recent ly returned from a trip through the invaded suc tion of Tennessee, that a soldier named Absalom Spencer, of the first Georgia regiment, who was left sick at Murfreesboro, after the fight at that place, went into tbe country to get quurti’rs and recruit hia health. At'tsi wandering about several days Fe teued shelter uudtr the hospitable rod ot a gentleman named Brown, who cared for (dm, giving him tbo protection and consort of bia house by eight, and ieereting him in (lie woods i nring the day. Tho soldier Laving recovered his health to some extent, ooceluded to run the risk of remaining- at ihe house during tho day. As had bten anticipated, it wa- uot long before the alarm was given in the neighborhood. He endeavored to escape, but was oveit.rken at a fence wbiub bo was trying to get over, aud car ried back to the house. \ pistol was presented st Mrs. Brown, with demands and threats, which she au.jvvered by stating that the man they had taken was a sick stranger that had been stopping at her house. The soldier then 3iated that be was a Confed erate Boldier, naming his company and regiment, and demanding the treatment of a prisoner of war. At the suggestion of a well known citizen, Mr. Israel Hill, tho soldier was carried by the scouis to tbe headquarters of Col. Stewart. This gallaat Yankee of tbe Union army said; ” Don’t bring any more rebel bushwhackers to me, but shoot ihem down.” He then ordered the prisoner to be tied between two stumps, and for eighteen men to fire at him. Tbo first volley missed him, ou which a brutal Dutchman ren up, and with the muzzle of his gun within a few feet of Spencer, shot him through the stomach. He died that uigtal and was decently buried next day by tbe citizens. He told Mrs. IL!!, at whose house he died, that he lived in Coweta county, Ga., and that be was a nephew of Bqibop Andrew—that he had two brothers, one living in Tennessee and the other in Tuscaloosa, Ala. He said he was au Elder in tbe Methodist E. Church. Can we ever live in union with such a peoples No, no, i ever ! Atlanta Confederacy. Eastern North Carolina —Recent udvises from Goldsboro’, N. 0., sta'e that twenty-five Vankee prisoners, woo were captured at Bay River, arrived in that town on Saturday, «n route for Richmond, and that it was rumored that forty others were on their way to the same point. A number ofr refugees came up to Goldsboro’ from Newbern, by a flag of truce, ou Thursday. Among these, was John E. Morris, who was dispossessed of his house about nine o'clock at night, and an Abolition doctor put in possession. On remon sliating against such treatment, he was told by the Provost Marshall that he might as woll slesp in the streets us the soldiers who were fighting for their couutrv. He then visited Gov. Stanley to obtain redress, who said he could do nothing for him, as he would uot take tiis oath o! allegiance ; whereupon he told liis bogus Excellency that, as be bad taken his negroes and house, he might now have his head. The retugees sav that there are 10,000 negroes in und around Newbern, and that they are dying at the rate of fifteen daily.— The number of Abolition soldiers at the same poiut is estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000. A female spy is represented to have found her way through our lie;:- to Newbern. It is said when refused a passpuit by tie officer at King-don, she came to Richmond, and obtained one. She is regarded as a spy by ail true Southerners in New beru • Richmond D-ispatch, 2d. A Cheap Method of Cubing Bacon—At this Pune, when eat is selling lor two hundred dol lars a sack, the 1.l owing simple and cheap math off of ruling bacon given by a citizen of this State may be worth trying: I gin- at the bouse of Mr William Morton, good bacon, from a hog weighing two hundred and fifty pounds, made by dipping it in boiling brine, hung and smoked immediately. The plan is simple and commendable lor us econo my of salt. Take a kettle or large pot nearly full of tyater, put in a little more salt than the water will dissolve, bring it to boil, cut up the meat, end while animal beat is in it put in the kettle and boil from two to four minutes, according as the meat is thick or thin ; rub on meal to hasp off the dies ; then hang and stocks it. The brine must be kept up to its full strength by occasionally adding salt. When the work is done, the remain ing brine may be boiled down and the salt saved lor other uses, or lor the next killing. Mr. Mor ton s. ys he iearned this plan from an eld man forty years ago, who had used it lor years previ ous! He has freqenily tried it in the month of August with invariable success. Every one who knows him wi 1 vouch tor the truth of his asser tion.” Con.asps Markets.—There has bean very lit tle change in prices since our last tepon. Cotton still brings from I‘2>j to 15 cents—a small lot w&s sold at 15%'c., being a superior quality ; Ostia burgs sell at Eagle Factory at 40c ; strip, and cot ton 50c.—demand heavy. These prices are adopt ed by the Factory through motives of patriotism. The s»me goods would command SOc. and 11.25 at auction, by wholesale. Other 'aeiories would do well to emulate this noble example. Fork is selling at SOc , a lew sides from wagons at 25c.; Ba,on from wagons file., retails at 80c; Sweet fvlawes from wagons Son. to #i , Irish do. none ia market, beef from wagons 18><cto IScq ground p»as from wagons #1 20 per buefcel; brown sugar sei’s ui retail from SOc, to COc -Rye fusel in place of con e,) lt)c. per lb ; Oreeu Apples are held at from §5 to fid per bushel, according to qcal.tv ; Salt tVa ) is selling at 75c per lb : Corn is worth *1 50 ; Corn Meal #1 50 to #1 60 ; Rice Flour #lO per 100 lb!.; Wheat Flour #25 to #55 per bbl., ac cording to quality ; Country Jeans tn great de mand at high prices It fact, all kinos of country produce find a ready gale at heavy prices. Oolambut T-jun, Du. 1. laox Gckpowbbb—ln tbe year 1350, Mr.March, »u able chemist connected with the Royal Aisenal, discovered that it is an invariable rule with irou j wbiob baa remained a considerable time under water, when reduced to small grams, or an im ! palpable powder, to become red hot, and ignite any substance with which it come in contact. This he found by scraping some corroded metal from a gun, which ignited the paper containing it, and burned s bole in his pocset. The knowl edge of this fact is ofrgreat importance, as it may account for many spontaneous fires and explo sions. A man named John Duffy, was shot tn Savan nah, on the night of the id met., by a soldier be longing to tbe Louisians Battalion. Duffy snr rivsd but a few minutes after he was shot.

The Cessna gives detailed statistics, showing that tftre are I,SSJ white peo ple in the Territory, and 404 free colored persons. Os the whites, 1,316 are ma es, and 672 females. They are settled in nearly every district in the Territory, have established vil ages, and no doubt wield a preponderating influence in affairs. The free colored people are unquestionably lbosa who accompany the white se'tiers. The Indian popu lation of this Territory is 65,680. Be ox the Looe Out. —A suspicious looking individual we learn appeared in Rioggold, a few days since, batless and shoeless, peddiiog on a biig.ot turnips. He pretended to be erazy; but front bis action, conversation, Ac., suspicion as to both his insanity and loyality was created, when he was arroeted, and after being taken out side of towu and having a void attached to bis neck and drawn over the limb of a tre* a few times, he admitted that he was one of a gang who had been sent into the country for the pur pose of burning Railroad bridges, Gove omest stores, Ac he also stated that some of the gang were in the 'mountains, designatiag the place, when a party of the citizens immediately went in search of them, and several were apprehended.

On tbis becoiningknown, its True Delta paper published the order,and ibe otber ne . spapera timidly sub mitted to tbo force of the circumstances, and published t aLo. The natural excitement and indignatioi that followed throughout tba com munity is adeseribable. " o tbeir credit, be it said, neerlyall of Butler’s officeisexprfEocd them selves aohaned of the indecent order, aud even now they would lather not have the subject brought up Several hdy subscribers sent to the newspaper office and iidignantly aud , ositivcly forbid that such pitperi should uo longer ba left at their dwellings. Uis Honor, Mayor Monroe, with a party ot irluantia! citixens, at once called on Butler andendeavorad to obtain some qualifica tion of ibe order; hot they could get no satis faction, aid were rudely dismissed. Mayor Monroe tbai wroto an indignant and reproachful eommunieaion to Butler, and again pressed him for a modification ot the hatefui order. Butler then lent foi the Mayor. Mayor Monroe replied, “Tell Gen. Hitler m’y effise is at the City Hotel, where be can see ms, it desirable.” Butler retor ted, that unie»s the Mayor came at once to his heapquarurs ie would send an armed force to arrest and brag birr there. Furt’a r opposition being useiess, the Mayor, chief of police, and several frietds, theu wcut to the St. Charles Hotel, where they found him in a towering rage. Butler elaiii6d to be much insulted at the conduct of the Mayor, and without ceremony or delay sent Mr. ,Ybnro3 and those who accompanied him into prison In ;*. few days they were all shipped down to Ftrt Jackson, .ui. Monroj’s and.several otber fumiliea were thus thrown into great dis tress by this act of modern tyranny, and all claims or petitions for their relief were unavailing. About thi first of October Mrs. Monroe feelingly requested fiat her busbanl might be permitted to come home briefly to see their dying child.— The effltctel wife bad better have adareaed her tearful appeal u a statue o! sione, for the hard hearted Bute turned a deaf ear to ner prayer.— The poor ckild died soon afterwards. The coudict of the negroes in New Orleans is intolerable to their owners, who can exercise little or no lontrol over them. The Abolitionists have utterly demoralized them. They are led, clothed, and quartered by the Yaekees, who fraternize with them generally in a sbamefri manner, while they laugh aed talk and walk together ou tbs streets, in the most cisguating style, showing very ! ttle inclination te make way uu the walk tor ladies aud gentlemen. The likely muiatioea are employ ed, or take up w ih the officers as body servants, while the common class are engaged to cook and wash for the men; bat their characteristic itido lence prevails, and their Yankee brothers, who ol course have uo idea how to manage the darkies, get but little service out of them. A child of Mr, Thoma3, a ciiizen of New Orleans, was walking the streets in charge of a negrese, when a negro boy stepped up and impudently took off a red, w hite and red “s* Cetb ’ ribbou that was tied around the child’s waist. On learning this cut lage, Mr. Thomas hunted up the nigger and very pioperly gave him a severe thiashing. The dar key threatened vengeance, ami the next day. -r. TUomaa wan u,r..u,i ..ml o. u*- lO IUS purisil pI ISOU for thirty days luF whipping the negro. Mr. A. Lathi op, oi Mobile, Lad a very likely mulatto boy who rail off and took up with a Yankee officer; his owner meeting tbe boy soon eftorwards about the suburbs of tbe city, took him in charge, chastised hint, and ordered him borne. Mr. Lathrop was oi rested tod cast into the parish p-is n lor six mouths tor daring to claim hia slave, after he. had bben in possession of an officer of the army of tho United Slates—i. e., an abolition thief. Very fe v famil es in he city havo b en able to retain'their uegro servants —nearly all have been enticed away, openly or by steultb. Ou a demand being made by tbe own er the negroes would sometimes be given up, but in a day or two they would be miss ing again. A gentleman riding la one oi too eily railroad cars wth his sister recently, the latter was rudely pushed by a negro who just entered. The bro ther knocked him down immediately ; the negro got up and drew a revolver on the gentleman, who beat him soundly. The giiitlenian was of course arrested, eu complaint ot the negro. When the ease came ou, iu a day or two, Provost Mar shal Kiiboru said he was not acquainted with either of tha gentlemen, and insultingly added, that us he could not tell tho white man from the negro, he would thank the white man to siand up and answer the charge. The gentleman was sent to jail for one week for striking the negro, and the nigger was fined five dollars tor drawing a weapon! The Abolitions ts boast that they have 20,000 ue groes in uni around New Orleans. The number is certainly very large: but a more idle, filthy, lazy, degraded looking set of wretches never were n ;en ; they can hardly be made to cook und wash for themeeiTes, and the Abolitionists an greatly perplexed in trying to manage them. Ail the world kuuws old Dr. Warren Stone. He is celebrated for his great surgical skill, as we 1 as for his greatness of heart, independence of charac ter, and devotion to tbo South, This truly great man was selected by Butler an a “shining mar.),” upon which to cast his venom. He was according ly wrested ano. brought into the presence of the tyrant. The Doctor walked up to Butler without waiting to be asked, and said m an abrupt, curt manner “Here I am, General, and i want to know what i was arrested for.” Batler looked at the Doctor from head to foot, and said contemptu ously “I had you arrested because you are a great rebel, and the inflnence of suclff£ man as you are is dangerous to the community. I shall s.nd you to Fort Jackson to get you out ol my way.” The old Doclor looked steadily into the repulsive crooked eyes of his wicked enemy, as he indignantly replied: ‘ Great rebel, hey ? V ou’li send me to Fort Jackson, hey f I glory in being a great rebel; yon can send me to fort Jackson, if you wish/' When about to be sect on board the boat that was to convey him to the lort I)r. Stone was informed that if be would pat a fine of live hundred dollars be could avoid going down ; but the old patriot scornfully r. torted Tell General Batler that >t seems io be a matter ct dot lars with him, but it is e matter of principle with me, and i would not give him five cents i” No ■< an in the community is more be.loved and cd mired than Dr-Stone, and, as soon as it became known to fcis friends teat he could be relievtd on paying » tine, they sent the amount to Butler, and the coble old man was released. Rcsoei or Clandestine Negotiations.—Tbe N. York Tribune of the 17th published the following editorially: » We are informed that clandestine negotiations have bees opened between certain Democratic leaders in this City and tb head traitors at Rich mond, looking to a reconstruction on the follow ing basis !

Umpire ran gamely for a while, but he was unable to stay over so long a course, and his defeat was the result.

Special Correspondence of the Chronicle db Sentinel Hearties*).owe of ilie Abolitionists. Miiiedgkville, Dec. 2. T e ln-artlesßi!ec3 and hypocrisy of our aboli tion foe is illustrated, among innumerable other damning records of the war, m with recent return es a number of sick and infirm negroes to our lines, from off one of the islands on the coast. Thi.se slaves on ihe plantations contiguous to the shore have been beguiled to leave comfortable and hap py homes, under specious promises oi libelty and ease. Their credulity is rewarded, according to the enemy’s own accounts, ia the nio"t cruel exactions from military taskmasters—attended with separation of families, inadequate loud and scarcely a shelter from the storm Weary at length of feeding those unable to bare their cruel burden, these philanthropist) propose to return them t > us, atui in tho expectation ih.-.t oar forbearance and humanity will induce ns to teceivo them. The class sent hack arc those who havt doubtless seen least ot their cruelty, and being.unable to serve their schemes o! gain, have been tanghs lesson j of incendiarism, pr eparatory to th' ir return. Our authorities on the coast have very properly sought instraetious.from the Gover nor, what disposition to make of tbein. They should not he suffered to remain it (lav in our borders. If they deliberately ran 3way; and are intelligent enou h to know the nature of their offence, they should be bung, as examples 'o our slave population. If they were decoyed off by false promises, and manifest a genuine contrition, they might be re.amod. but should not be suffered to come iu contact iv.uli our slaves.

An Opinion frosi an Influential Source.— Tbe London Quarterly Review, for October, h. 3 a very able article on th 9 “Confederr,:? Struggle and Recognition.” Tho write.* shows hew thor oughly rotten is and was the FMetttl system; how the inherent defects of that rystem created secession; hew radically different unive’snlsni frege is in the South from the North; ho, I'reti dent Lincoln has,- by tampering with tbe Consti tution, paved the way for a military dictatorship or civil despotism of come future “ elect of the 'millions;” how British subjects iu the South are now practically unprotected in case of out;-.ago—a matter which touches one of England’s most sen sitive points; and how recognition is not a ques tion of the interest:; or fe-Rings or the na tion, but of the right cf tho Confederacy. Tho foliowing is the conclusion of the article to which we have referred i In -tr. th tbe whole slavery dispute seems pet ty and trivial when we read the weekly narrative ot American carnage or the daily tale of Lanca shire distress. With every respect to the we cannot stop to inquire into wrongs under which he apparently thrives and is happy, whoa the blood of our own rase is being poured out Ike water, and our own fellow citizens are perishing by inches. YTe cannot coutcmplato the battlt field strewn with corps, or vast regions, ouce busy and prosperous, now laid waste by war, aud console ourselves wilti tip? reflection (fiat ii it be only continued long enough it may possibly end in promoting the negroes suddenly to a freedom they will net appreciate and will ctr.aiaiy mis use. We cannot reconcile ourselves to the subject of a famine stricken population at home, by the hope that if their sufferings are sufficiently prolonged, the integrity of an aggressive and unscrupulous empire may possibly be restored, i very consid eration of humanity to those at home and those abroad demands that vve should do everything in our power, and, if, need ba risk something, to bring this learfnl desolation to a close. As soon as the time oomes—we trust it may be close at hand —when, by a fair interruption' of interpretation of International law, we cau join with other Eu ropean powers in recognizing an independence which is already uu accomplished fact, there is a fair hops that the Federais may see in our de oiaratioc an honorable plea for re!routing from a contest which they will assuredly never be extri cated by success. Proclamation of trtz Governor of North Ca rolina.—Tha Legislature of the State of North Carolina having passed resolutions empowering tbe Governor to adopt means to stop, as far as possible, the system of spccu -lion which is ruin ing the country, Governor Vance has issueU a proclamation forbidding all persons, for tlie space of thirty days, from carrying beyond tbe limits of the State any salt, basua, pork, bey*;, corn, meal, flour, potatoes, shoes, leather, hides, cotton, cloth, yarn and woolen cloths. The following persons are exempted from this-prohibition. All Quartermasters and Commissaries, Agents ol the Confederate Government und oi any Slate ol the Confederacy, exhibiting proper ovhlenoo of their official oaurao.er; tutu, oil agents ot any county, district, town, or corpo ation pi other States, who shall exhibit uutishtctoiy proof oi their authority to purchase such articles in behalf ot such town, county, district, er corporation,' for publio uses, or lor distribution ut cost and transportation, and not tor re-sale, or profit; also, all peioOns who may make c-ath before ihe nearest Justice oi ihe Peace that tbe articles puiobaucd are for their own. private use and not loryo sale, betoro they are removed; all pereuns, nou-iesidect who may havo bought such articles before tho date hereof. . The exception is to extend to salt made by non residents ou the sea ooast and in their own works, and to cargoes entering any o. our ports frjm abroad. Any ol the above articles stopped in transitu, from thff borders of the State are to ccuflacu.vd to the use oi the Stale, ami the" Golonois oi miUin in the different counties a; mpo* ered to see that the proclamation is enforced. Mobile to re defended to the Last .xirumi. ty. —Hon. R. H. Slough the IJayar ol Mobile, in a letter to the Govera.u* of Alabama, noticing the resolutions recently passed by the Legislature ol that State with reference to the defence of that city, says “the people of the city, without distino tion of class, have long ago made up their minds that, come what might, Mobile should be defended to the last, and that the Abolition hordes cf the North might level its edifices to aches, but should never hold a part of its soil in peace.” He adds . Though they should eucccod in driving our entire population from their homes, while th ere remain ed a man capable of handling a gun the invading foe would be subjected to the most determined at tacks. While prepared for the worst, your Excel lency must regard our people as without hopes of a successful resistance against any toroo tha en emy may bring against us. Our people ars ready for the contest, and will go into the fight detirmin ed to save tha city of Mobile if it is to be saved by any exertion or sacrifices in their power ; but if it prove otherwise, then let ashes mark ihe site whereon stood our cherished homes, and the ruth less invader, standing amid the ruins that fie has made, shall find that even the naked soil can not ba held by him with impunity. All that our citizens ask is that the powers oi the Uoniederate and tbe Btate Governments shall use all their ex ertions to second tbeir resolve, and make the de fence of our city as strong as possible. The citizens of Mobile show tho right spirit. It is a commendable one, and one worthy of being imitated everywhere. The Federal Fifteen Inch Gun. —The Federate appear to have a great deal of treubia with the terrible weapons with v/bich they intend to “wipe out” the South. The now Monitor Passaic has made another unsatisfactory trial of her fifteen inch gun—of which the Cincinnati Gazette says: A ekiillu gunner might throw a shell into a porthole large enough lor these guns; therefore the porthole was fixed lor firing through without protruding the gun, being little .larger than the ball. The first fire was as much as the crew cared to risk in that exoSriment. The smoke and fi’.me filled the turret. ‘ Then a flange was fitted to the muzzle of the gun and the curve ot the tnriet to increase the space, The last trial was of this con trivance. Thirty-five pounds of powder and a hollow shot were fired. The concussion lifted the perforated shield plates on top of the turret, one of which fell on Captain Worden’s foot. The vo lume of flame from the muzzle set the tackle for hoisting the shot on fire, burned .the eyebrows and hair of one of the gun crew, and the fores of the gas tore off the flange. It waa.found also that although the extra flange might fit the inside curve of the turret, the gun must rtcoil before the charge left it. It was rather q ieer that ord nance officers should have to experiment to find that out. The result proved that the porthole must be enlarged s i as co iet the muzzle of the gua protrude, or some sliding arrangement like the joints of a telescope must be contrived to keep up .bo connection with t e porthole while tho gun recoils.
