It will be seen by our news columns, that the
Lincoln government is retreating from its posi
tion in regard to prisoners, and is now seeking
an exchange. Not, indeed, in that frank honora
ble manner in which it should be sought, but
covertly and indirectly. It is strange that Lin
coln and his Cabinet do not see how they thus
expose themselves to ridicule, and increase the
shame which they seek to hide. They virtually
tell the world that “their poverty and not their
will consents” —that it is an exceedingly bitter
piil they have to take, but that necssity compels
them to it.
Among the prisoners whem they thus propose
to exchange,are five resigned U. S. Naval]officers,
whom they arrested in Boston, at the moment
of resigning. Prisoners thus captured, they ask
us, in the deaf and dumb dialect, to exchange
for men taken on such fields as Manassas and
Belmont and Leesburg! The proposition disgra
ces them. —Richmond Enquirrer.
Speculation, Monopoly and Extortion,
In the Milledgeville correspondence of the
Chronicle & Sentinel, we find the following sum
mary of the provisions of a bill to prevent ex
tortion which passed the Senate on last Wed
nesday:
“The bill was finally passed, and prohibits any
one from selling salt, wheat, flour, bacon, lard,
cotton osnaburgs, linseys, kerseys, leather,shoes,
cotton or wool cards, bagging and rope, at
more than 60 per cent, advance on the prices
ruling last April, except articles bought within
the last thirty days by regular merchants, for the
supply of their regular and local customers, un
der a penalty of losing the whole, for the first
offence, with a fine also of oue to five hundred
dollars, and for the second offence, imprisonment
in the Penitentiary for five years.
A case of considerable interest as we
learn from the Southern Confederacy, is now
pending, and comes before the Confederate Court
in Knoxville on next Monday.
In that city, owing to the number of disloyal
persons in the country, it was decided that no
one should leave the place without a passport)
and the Military Board, charged with the mat
ter, adopted as simple and unexceptionable a
process as was possible to enforce the regulation*
with as little vexation and delay as possible to
all persons traveling. They draw up the form
of a pledge of fidelity to the Confederate Gov
ernment, which they simply required every trav
eler to sign—no matter whether he was a Union
ist or Secessionist, and thereupon a passport was
granted. The “Register” of the 13th says :
M?j. F. S. Heiskill, one of the oldest, most
well known and respectable citizens of Knox
county, residing some ten miles from Knoxville,
on Monday applied to the Board for a permit to
leave the city, but refused to comply with the
regulation above stated. The Board under the
circumstances, declined to give him a permit;
whereupon, he undertook to leave the city with
out, but was arrested by the guard upon the road
and brought into the city.
Maj. Heiskell, who is a Union man, very freely
expressed his condemnation of these
and made such comments upon the streets as
led to issuance of a warrant for his arrest by C.
S. District Attorney, upon the charge of inciting
rebellion. Consequently, he was examined yes
teiday before Commissioner Reynolds at the
Court-house—Hon, I. C. Haynes appearing as
bis counsel, at the solicitation of his friends and
relatives.
After hearing the evidence in the case, and the
arguments of the Attorney-General and the de
fendants counse', the Commissioner decided to
hold Maj. Heiskell to a recognizance of twenty
thousand dollars for his appearance to answer at
the term of the Confederate Court, to be held in
this city, beginning on the fourth Monday of the
resent month.

Provided, that the penalties of this Act shall not
apply to stock in the hands of regular merchants

the last thirty days for their local and regular
customers.
Salt ! Salt!
We had the pleasure of a visit ou Wednesday
evening, from Prof. Thomaßsy, who was on his
way to New Orleans. He informs us that on
his return he will select some safe locality on
the coast of Georgia or South Carolina and com
mence the manutacture of salt. His lase opera
tions were unfortunately broken up by the cap
ture of Port Royal.
We hope his works will soon be uuder way;
for notwithstanding they is a large amount of
salt.in the country, the poor will find it diffi
cult to obtain unless the present high price be
reduced in some way.— So. Con fed.
«
I eace Prospects. —An lowa Captain cap
tured in the late battle at Belmont, states that the
Federal troops engaged were all picked men, and
sprung originally from Kentucky and Tennessee
families, and were supposed, therefore, to be able
to cope with the Tennesseeans. lie says the
reason for the activity of the Lincolnites at the
present time is this : Congress meets the first o*“
next month, and unless they make some show of
conquering the South the peace party at the
North will overwhelm everything, and force Con
gress to make peace. He says the peace party at
the North is growing fast.— Memphis Ap.
Confederate State Bonds. —The New Or
leans j Price Current of Nov. 19th, says that
sales of Confederate Bonds have been made in
that oity at $74% @s#7, the highest price for the
imalleit denomination.
