WAR PRICES.

■ • V papere > ssue< f ky Governors and Mayors,
’ ,.;n<r the rapacity and greediness of certain
3enouU'- lu o . . , ,
wrg j n the provision market, who inunopo-
'* -Le articles of prime necessity, and then de
" 'ud ex >ortiouate prices. This has been particu-
; J * c;iS ,. in reference to bacon, which has ad-
- cedfrom 15 to 30 cents per pound, and pork.
* -b has gone to the enormous figure of $40 per
"j which the Government of the Confederate
bas been compelled to pay speculators in

' lih policy, the persons who have engaged in
scramble have doubled their money ; and now
increased power they push on, their appe-
stimulated for gain, just as the palate of the
..{•craves more human blood after he has once

. o) t ke soul, and a man is weak enough to wor-
,a! no other shrine, it is in vain to remonstrate.
Tb? passion for wealth resists all entreaty, and
„ j s the sweet reward. Look at the Roth-

. liable to infer from their actions, would starve
t families of the soldiers, or even sell the Gov-

-varice- Men of this stamp may act out their

(3> Gen. Edwin Baker, who was killed in the
tittle of Leesburg, was an Englishman by birth.
He commanded a Regiment from Indiana in the
late war with Mexico,—was a man of talents, im
petuous and brave. Removing to Oregon, he was
elected a U. S. Senator from that State, and de-
ured in the Senate last winter that, ‘‘if necessary,
tie South should be reduced to the condition of
■ibiect provinces, and ruled over by Governors
j»mMassachusetts and other Northern States.”—
So wonder that the death of such a man was a great
visoual grief to President Lincolu who, together
with bis lady, shed tears as they did when Ells
worth fell by the hands of Jackson, for tearing
iiwn the secession flag at Alexandria on the 24th of
!liy, when the Fodeialists first invaded Virginia,
his not quite six months since this event, and
peat battles have been fought without conquering
tkewWs. Mr. Lincoln has yet to learn a good
deal of the South before his plan of subjugation is
mmplishcd.

THE PRODUCE LOAN.
Home weeks ago an article aj pear-d in Angtista
which the associate editor of the Southern Recorder
enclosed to Prof. DeBoW, who is a personal friend.
I rom that gentleman the following letter has been
received, which we lay before our leaders, as furn
ishing light on the matter commented upon.
Treasury Department. )
Produce Loan Office, \
Richmond, October 28th, 1861. )
Dear Sir :—You extracted recently, from the
Augusta Chronicle, an article in w hich I am called
to account for alleged errors in the annexed pass
age from my letter to a citizen of Louisiana :
‘•The planter who makes a thousand hogsheads
of sugar or a thousand bales of cotton, aud so of
any other quantity, and subscribes the proceeds of
one half of it to the Government, will receive, in in
terest upon the bonds he obtains, two or three times
the amount of the war tax assessed upon him, and
this calculation any one can make for himself.”
As y ou w ere good enough to call my attention
to the article, I will give the grounds upon which
the statement was predicated. I was arguing, of
course, upon tLe hypothesis that the markets would
be opened at some time during the season, and that
cotton would bring its accustomed prices. This
you will see by the letter.
A planter, therefore, making 1000 bales, ha« sub
scribed 500 :
500 bales at $50, ... $25,000
Interest at 8 per cent. - - " 2,000
Taking the average of the cotton region—I sup
posed 150 negroes, great and small,to be held by
such a planter. Ihe valuation would be Inghat
$500—$7,>,000, and the valuation ol lauds aud oth
er property would be equally high at $75,000
more. Aggregate $150,000. Tax at fifty cents on
the bundled dollars, would be $750, or about one
third ot the interest on the planters bonds !
The war tax must be paid iu May, it is true, be.
fore much interest can accrue ; but the coupons
w ould be negotiable, and have a market value.
The writer in tho Chronicle is in error wlieu he
thinks that Government would consent to the sac
rifice of the cotton. Its interests are. identical with
those of tho planter. Congress has provided for
the postponement of sales during the blockade.—
Iho Secretary, in a recent letter which I send you
says:
*’It is obvious, therefore, that the subscriptions
are quite as valuable to the Government during
the blockade, as after it. Tho blockade simply
suspends the completion of the engagement. It
becomes the interest of both parties to wait fora
goi.d price, and the Government will readily con
sent to a postponement of the sale ”
Your obedient servant,
J. D. B. DeBOW.

Fight at Rockcastle Kentucky.
^ e have information of a tight in Kentucky, be
tween the forces under General Zullicoffer aud the
LiucolniGs from Camp Dick Robertsou. The lat
ter were entrenched this side of Rockcastle ford.- -
Our loss is stated at live killed and twenty-live
wounded. AY e have taken lorty prisoners. The
loss ql the enemy in killed aud wounded is not as-
eertained. General Zollitottlr has fallen back to
prevent his supply tiains from being cut off
1 he loss on our side were of Col. Ncwnan s reg
iment, who made the assault upou the eucmv’s
breastworks and drove them from them. O. P.
Newman, a brother of Coi. Newman, is among the
killed.—Knoxville Register, Oct. 25.
YVe have the toilowmg additional particulars of
this battle iu a private letter from a gentleman in
Knoxville, who writes under date of the 24th ;—
‘Men. Zollicoffer had a fight with the enemy on
ih : bank this side of llock Castie river on Monday
last. I g!*e the account as detailed here by Mr.
.John Parker, of tiiis place, w ho was iu General
Zoilicoffer's camp at the time of the fight. The
enemy had felled trees across the road lor a mile
and a half. Our men cleared the road for a half a
miie under fire ot the enemy, who were on a high
cliff and overshot. General Zollicoffer could bring
omy about three hundred men i.-ito tho light aud
could uot employ his artillery. YVe took two of
their entrenchments aud two cannon, but did not
hold them iu consequence, it is said, ot the enemy
getting into our rear, when Geu. Zollicoffer fell
back to protect his wagon train. It w as thought
he would mako another attack the next morning. ,,
YY e had five killed aud twenty-two wounded ou our ! Echoes,
side, anil took about forty prisoners, and it is sup- “
posed killed aud wounded a hundred of the enemy,
fcome of the prisoners takeu were from Ohio. The
enemy’s r iniber is supposed to have been 8,000.—
YVe expected to get an account from Gen. Zollicof
fer himself, ot the battle, this morning, but no
courier came, though there is a daily lino of couri
ers between this point and the General's Camp.

I From the Augusta Constitutionalist.']
A Card to the Public.
It is currently rumored upon our streets, and
generally believed, that numbers of our merchants
are engaged in speculating in tho prime necessaries
of life, and that there are now iu our city articles,
which are being held back for still higher prices.
It comes -within my notice, that these reports are
causing the manifestation of much feeling, aud I
deem it my duty to appeal, in the most solemn
manner to all who may be engaged :n these at
tempts to control the prices of articles of necessity,
to abstain from a course which cannot but result
in great distress to all tlie poorer classes of our
community. Common patriotism demands that
all of our citizens should make sacrifice for the
common good, aud not that advantage should be
taken of those least able to suffer.
I sincerely trust, that while these troublous
times shall exist, our merchants and traders will
be satisfiiMi (as they were before) with living prof

Army INTEL.LIOENOE.-Tbe War department has
determined sonic new assignments of commands
in the Department of Virginia.

Gen. Holinee will have command ol the army on

Who are we Limiting 7—The term “Yan
kee,” remarks tho Richmond Dispatch, ought no
longer to be applied to the eDeiuy. Such a term is
not just to the fighting men on the other side nor
to ourselves. YVe me. iu point of fact, literally and
truly invaded by a European army. That army is
made tip of Irishmen and Germans, witli a small
proportion of Yankees. While tho Yankee Gov-
ernmi-nt deprecates bitterly the sympathy of Eu
ropean Governments with the South, its own main
reliance is European soldiers. The prisoners just
brought in are chiefly of this class. If we call
them Yankees we not only commit an error in fact,
but give the Yankees credit for fighting their own
battles. We. have just whipped an Irish and Ger
man array, whose bravest leader was a depraved
Englishman ; and it is an army of foreign mercen
aries which still remains for us to whip on tho bor
ders of tho Potomac.
No Relief from the War—The universa
stagnation stares all in the face without hope of
recovery.
Tnere are those who pretend that the Govern
ment expenditures will afford relief. Let us exam

Manufacture of Oils.—The stock of sperm
oil—the best and cheapest article for lubricating
purposes—is said to be well nigh exhausted iu the
South. Lubricating oil for machinery is absolute
ly indispensable to the operations of railroads, ma
chine shops, cotton mills and printing offices.
A new article of Southern production, we notice,
has been spoken of as serving excellently for lu
bricating purposes. The castor oil bean grows,
or can be made to grow, very luxuriantly in Ala
bama, Florida, Mississippi and Texas. It produc
es a very clear, limpid oil. which, it is said, would
do very well to work machinery.
The ground-pea, pea-nut, or gouber-pea, fur
nishes an excellent oil, which is said to be sweet,
aud to be good for lubricating purposes also. Ex
periments of the extraction of oil from these pro
ducts aud the cotton seed, are now being essayed
by some of our energetic citizens in the South.

The Battle of Lexington.
GRAND CHARGC UK THE CONFEDERATES.
The Chicago Times contains a lengthy account
of the battle, from which we extract the following
description of the grand charge of our forces :
A cloud of smoke enveloped the battle field
which almost hid the combatants, aud our brave
little garrison watched its dense folds with intense
anxiety, waiting for the grand charge of thousands
which they expected, and stood ready to receive.
At about 9 o’clock it came. A column of about
8,000 men emerged from the forest, and charged,
on a run, at the east barricade, next to the river —
Their approach was the signal for breathless anxi-
e:y within the breast works. The gallant band
sp-ike not a word, but knelt, every man of them,
with gun leveled and finger on the trigger. The
tick ot a watch might have been hoard the length

except by tlie whispers which directed each man to
aim steadily, mid hold his lire until the order was
given. The swiftly advancing column, embolden
ed by the silence of the foe, gave forth loud hur
rahs and dashed up almost to the muzzles of the
guns. Scarcely lifty paces intervened, and
they seemed on the point of storming over the
works, when a voice of command rang out, and
a line of light opened across the breastworks and
ran along the entire line like a flash of lightning.
It was like an avalanche of lire sweeping through
the tall prairie grass. The men went down,
column after column. They struggled to rise
again, and fell under tho trampling feet of their
comrades, who, still impetuous, rushed onward to
the fray. The smoke had hardly arisen before ev
ery gnu was loaded, and again the murderous
storm of bullets went on its deadly errand, sheathed
in fiaino and smoke. It crushed through tiie serried
ranks, and mowed tlie leaders down by columns.
Still they rallied, and led on by daring officers,
again trod over the dead bodies of their comrades
with desperate energy. Again the smrke arose,

in despair the whole body
broke up iu disorder and retreated. They rushed
down tlie hill with an impetuosity which betoken
ed dismay and fear, and were not rallied until they
gained tho refuge of the woods again.
In the meantime, the other side of the entrench
ments was receiving obstinate attacks from a body
of several thousand rebels, who were ensconcede
behind the hill upou which the hospital stood.—
They had planted artillery, which swept our
works with terrible force, and were with difficulty
kept from charging over tlie barricades. The range
of our guns was such as to render the at
tempt a dangerous one, and they contented
themselves with awaiting a more favorable oppor
tunity. Gol. Mulligan commanded herein porson,
but .was, as usual, in all parts of the entrench
ments, encouraging and directing the men. The
position of their forces cut ot tho retreat to the
riv-er, and the garrison was surrounded on all sides.

[From the Southern Christian Adcocatc.]
Sehgt Donald Cameron McCaskill, of the
•‘Davis Rides,” aged J7 years, died at Camp “Bar
tow” Pecohontas eo., Y'a., ou 20th Sept.
Never has so sad a t..sk devolved on me as to
wrffe the obituary ci' mis noble youth. Ou the
18th of Juno he left his home to seive his country
as a soldier and biavdy lias ho done it. His life
has been the sacrifice.
“He yielded ere the battle came” to power none
dare defy
Aud in a stranger land, poor boy, ho laid him down
to die,
They laid him in a lonoly spot beneath Y'irginia’s
sod,
And the freed spirit of “Donni” has gone to meet
his God.
Ho was tlie son of Mr. M. and Mrs. E. A. Me
Caskili, born in Houston co., Ga., Sept. 26th’
1844. From bis birth I have known “Donni”
and a more pure, innocent boy I have never seen.
He had a smile and a kind word for every one aud
was beloved by all who were acquainted with him
—the light and life of the household group so
cheerful aud pleasant. YVheu 1 heard of iiis death
I hastened to oiler my sympathy aud mingle my
tears with those of his heart broken mother.
“Yes, I went one day to his mother’s housiy—
YY T eut home to the dear ones all—
Aud softly I opened the garden gate,
Aud softly the door of the hall.
His mother camo out to meet mo,
She kissed me and then she sighed
Aud her head fell on my neck and she wept
For her noble boy that died.
She will miss him when the flowers come.
In the garden where be played ;
She wilt miss him more by the fireside
YVhen the flowers have all decayed.
She will see his elethes and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride ;
And they will speak with a silent spoeeh
Of the noble boy that died.”
YVhen I arrived and saw their heart-crushing
sorrow I was reminded of that passage of Scripture
“Have pity upon me. Have pity upon mo, O ye.
my friends, for the hands of God hath troubled
me.” That once large and happy household where
I love to go is all broken up—silent and sad. the
mother aud sisters walk from room to room all va
cant and still with aching hearts and weeping
eyes, grieving over the fate of their soldier boy ;
aud dreading to hear from the other loved one.—
He died far, far away iu a stranger land, in a tent
without a bed to rest bis wearied body on or a
pillow beneath his dying head—no dear mother
or kind sister to bathe his burning brow, per
fectly conscious to tho last. I am informed
that he would say, “Oh! if my dear mother, sister,
grandma or aunty, were only hear to bathe my
poor head.” Oh ! who does not feel for sorrow
like this 1 YVho can bear of it and not weep !—
Bat, thanks be to God, we have evidence ot his
acceptance. Then, weep not my dear bereaved
friends, but still pat your trust in God, yes, trast
in this God, for he is our God forever; and He will
be our guide even unto death. M. J- McK-
