LADIES CONCERT.
Xbe Concert at Newell’s Hall, on Thurs
jiv evening, for the “benefit of barefooted
loldiert,," was attended in great strength,
,be proceeds amounting to §290, which
takes about §700 raised by the sweet
roicef of onr Young Ladies within two

jriacipal direction of Miss Folsom, whose
brother commands a regiment of Georgin
Volunteers in \ irginia. YYc never saw
the Hall so thoroughly crowded. Among
the attractions we take the liberty of re

ler elegant and highly educated daughter.
Ibe-e ladies are exiles from Baltimore, on
account of their Southern principles; and
the patriotic air which contributed so much
to the delight of the audience, was given
forth by them with a genuine sympathy
which touched every soul capable of
relishing the perfection of music. All the
ladies who participated in the Songs,
t’lisrades, Tableaux, Ac., which constitu
te the evening's eutertainm ent, performed
their several rolls handsomely, and are
entitled to the highest praise. A more

EXEMPLAUY CONDUCT.
3Ir.V\ bittleuf Bibb, stated in the House,
on Wednesday, that in a conversation be
lately had with a gentleman cf Columbus,
ke expressed his surprise at the unreason
able advance of prices by the eetton mills,
when the gentleman stated that when 16
cents per yard was demanded for goods
hitherto sold at 10 and 12, he acquiesced ;
ut when 20 cents was pat an, \>t protested,
and when 25 cents was required, he sold
out lis stock in the mill, and dissolved Lis
connexion with the concern. The name
of the disgusted stockholder was not given
to the House, but his example showed an
upright nature, which we trust wilj have
its proper influence.
In the same discussion (on the bill to
seize the factories for public nsc) Mr.
Whittle further stated that the Macon
Manufacturing Company were sellingosna-
bergs at-28 cents per yard, while he un
derstood that the Governor had to pay 60
cents per yard for 35,000 yards lately
purchased to make salt sacks, from the
Milledgeville Manufacturing company ;
and at the Augusta mills the price was
j 8a:<i t0 from 65 to 70 cents per yard.
: Uo <lid not percei.ve why the excess should
be demanded, if the profits of the Macon
mills were a fair criterion.

THE BLIND AND INSANE,
ibe House, on Wednesday, adopted the
resolution offered by Mr. Whittle of Bibb,
requiring the Tax Receivers to report the
number and names of blind persons, and
nl«o the number and names of lunatics in
each county, 6o that such information may
be rendered useful to these unfortuuate
classes, iu connection with the Public
Asylums.
<rucc*jffSfully, him! turning out large quantities of
tlie finest kind of salt. My wagons Lave just re
turned from thesaliues, in Vauzaudt county, w here
1 got th.' prettiest salt at 4(8 50 per sack, and paid
tor it by hauling up a load of merchandise fro in
Houston. v
I have plenty of hogs to meat, plenty of corn to
fatten them, and plenty of salt to save it. If 1
only had shoej and clothes for my family, I would
not ask old Abe any favors. I have bought leather
(at $1 per lb., and badly tanned at that) and am
making my negro shoes. Now if I could only get
3oare for tlie female members of my white family,
I would be- “whole-footed.” Shoe-makers here
charge 917 for gentlemen's shoes, and £27 for
boots. I hope the Conscript Act will bring them
out of that. WejivB some “ Shylocks” (gene
rally old \ aukee merchants, but some of our own
people are just as bad) who put the screws on to
the people when they have the chance. They re
tail bacon at 30 cents per ib., lard 24 cents, salt
15 cents, flour 20 cents, whiskey (old rot gat) at
8 > per bottle, tobacco $2 50 per plug, snuff $1 DO
per bottle, calico (formerly worth 10 cents) $1 12£,
osnabergs (formerly worth 11 cents) at §1. flannel
(formerly worth 25 cents) at $l 50 per yard, and
that too to a soldier, copperas (formerly worth 10
cents) at SI 50 per pound, and other things in pro
portion. God help the poor or needy who fall i:.;o
their bands.
Our merchants have determined to keep the cot
ton trade entirely in their own hands. They will
not sell a yard of bagging, nor a pound of rope to
a planter. But they first buy bis cotton, and then
furnish him the bagging at 55 cents per yard, and
rope at 50 cents per pound, to be deducted from
the amount of sales. I planted all com, and am
now gathering 25 bushels per acre, on my LiD
plantation, and 50 bushels per acre on my planta
tion on the Brazos river. J do not think I lose
any thing by not planting cotton, as the Gov
ernment takes all tli-s corn I have to spare at
81 per bushel, and the fodder at $2 50 per 100.
I see in your issue of the 7th Oct., an account

Richmond. Va., Nov. 19.—A flag of

Among the passengers were several ladies,

Burnside’s army was demoralized by Mc
Clellan’s removal, and that that event
nearly caused a revolution among the Fed

threw down their arms, aud those who
were ordered to arrest them refused to do
so. Gen. lialleck visited the army, aud
succeeded in pacifying the malcontents.

ternoon last, has a dispatch from Treutou,
N. J., stating that Lieut. Cols. Colburn and

THE ATTACK ON FREDERICKSBURG.
Richmond, Nov. 18.—Tlie Enquirer of
this morning contains additional particu
lars of the reappearance of the Yankees at
Fredericksburg. The movement appears
to have beeii more serious than was at first
supposed.
Ou Sunday morning it was ascertained
by the commandant at Fredericksburg, that
a strong force of the enemy from Warren-
ton was approaching by a road crossing a
ford some four or five miles above.
Col. Crutcher immediately posted his
little command at that point, and about

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Navasota, Texas, Nov. 3, 1862.
Messrs. Editors : 1 have wanted to write to vou
some time, but have been prevented by the irreg
ularity of the mads* \on will observe the name
of our postoffice is chauged to “ Navasota." Make
a note of it. When the Yankees blockaded Gal-
vestoj, in July, 1861, our mails stopped. An ar
rangement was sodu made to forward the letter
mail over the Oupelousas Railroad and by stages,
through the country ; but the papar mail was left
to take care of itself, and get along the beat it could.
Occaaionaily a straggling Kecordor—say one in
the fortunes of that day, and Gen. Whiting, in his
official report, gives to the gallant 4th Texas the
honor of being the first to break the enemy's line.
Robert was wounded slightly by a minie ball iu
Yankee cavalry made, its appearance. A
brisk engagement ensued, and the enemy
was finally driven back with a loss of sev
eral killed and twelve prisoners
Sunday night Col. Crutcher withdrew
his force to town, where he could work
more odvantageously in conjuction with
Col. Ball the military commandant.
Y esterday morning, the enemy, evident
ly in increased force, appeared with sev
eral batteries of heavy artillery, above
the town. An artillery engagement eri-
army iu Arkansas.
This letter is not intended for publication, but
for the eyes of iuy old friends. R. M. Orme, sen.,

Let ine hear from you at jotw* earliest conven

For the Southern Recorder.
Mkssks. Oavii.: The people expect prompt,
wiso action of the present Legislature. With the
two or three months, would reach me, by way of knife Ht our Uirui ‘ ts ’ the Ashing be-
Alexanlrin. When the Yankees captured New
Orleans, they stopped altogether. In August,
Jisi52. they began to come scatteringly again. For
the last month they arrive regularly, aud I also
get some letters from Laurens and Thomas coun
ties. The object of this letter is, to see if the mails
have become sufficiently regular to risk sending
money to you. Immediately upon its reception,
please let me know the amount of my indebtedness
to you, and whether I shsll send it by mail. I
have another object in view,
j We kUve but one factory for raakiug cloth in
! this State (the one in the Penitentiary) and Gen.
Holmes, of Arkansas, has taken possession of it,
to make cloth for the use of the urniy of the West.
This was perfectly right—thfr^oldiers must have
clothes. But it has thrown the people upon their
ow n resources, and we must resort to the spiniug-
wheel and hand-loom. This we are perfectly w ill
iag to Jo, if we can only get cotton and wool cards.
fore our eyes, it is no time for talk and profitless
discussion. The masses are sick ad nuuseum of
the miserable wrangle over the Conscript Law.
If we were not iu the death struggle for our lives,
property and liberty, we would bow to the solemn
adjudication of the Supreme Court. But at such a
fearful crisis as this, the people view with horror
and alarm the attacks upon its late decision ou
the Conscript question, as pointing the way to
anarchy aDd internecine strife,
the Legislature, then, to sink partizanship in pa
triotism, and go to work, as men would to save
their house, or wife, or little ones, from tire and
flood.
The militia should be promptly organized. All
arms-bearing men, not subject to conscription,
should be enrolled, and ready at the earliest day
to take the field. Arms, as far as possible, be
provided, and ammunition be secured at once
■ The "Confederate Government will do all in its

ohjoct is to get full information ou that subject,

given to burn all the cotton and tobacco
in town. The order was promptly exe
cuted, and several pyramids of cotton bales
were soon sending up a smoky iucense to
heaven. About 1000 boxes of tobacco, be
longing principally to speculators, were
ruthlessly tumbled into the Rappahan
nock.
In the course of an hour or two the ene
my were repulsed from their new locality
of assault, and followed up by our cavalry,
and lost some ten or fifteen more pris
ouers.
During the progress of the engagement,
which occurred just outside ol the corpora
tion, the people became resolute in their
determination to stand by tlie town, and
even the women, in many instances ap
peared in the streets on horseback, and
afoot, armed, and with all the enthusiasm
of war. *
In the afternoon the enemy again made
their appearance, but this time on the

The engagement •continued during the
evening. Our loss up to six o’clock was
one killed and two or throe slightly woun
ded. A portion of the enemy was report
ed already in Falmouth, or. the opposite
side of the river, and their whole force
siippoaed to be advancing, said to be 12,000
—no eoubt an exaggeration.
From one to three regiments of the ene-
emy had, at last advices, been actively en
gaged. The news inclines the Enquirer to
the conclusion that either the enemy are
coming upon Richmond, from Fredericks
burg, or are about to be transported to the
line of advance. It indicates work, how
ever, ou one side or the other.

The Yankees have captured Sabine Pass, Galves

I think, will soon capture Corpus Christi and
Brownsville. Then they will have the whole
coast. Our rivers are small, shallow and nar
row, and “rundown” so soon, that they will hard
ly attempt to go up them If they do, we can
easily throw obstructions iu the rivers, aud our

patrol established all along tLe coast* aud we have

Yankees may attempt to go up into thu country.—

their object is to cut off our trade through Mexico,
and prevent ns from getting salt iu tha lakes be
tween Corpus Cbristi and Brownsville. Salt can
be had then*, iu any quantity, merely by raking it
up. Those who do not with to tak- that trouble,
buy it at 35 cents per bushel. A great many
wagons, from all part* of- tbo State, go there for
salt. They carry corn, wbiall they sell at $2 per
bushel, and buy salt. We hare very fine Salines
in different parts of the State, and all ara working/
ed shot guns and rifles will help to meet any d**
licit of the first. We are liable to have the North
ern part of our State over-run. Should the army
of the west be defeated our State will be invaded
aud our State Road seized. Guerrilla Companies
properly armed or the Malitia well officered aud
drilled can weary out aud defeat the invaders, cut
off their supply trains, and ambuscade them iu our
mountain gorges. Whilst I write our implacable
foe are thundering away on our coast, and threat-
iuiug our seaport; thou gentlemen of tne Legisla
ture be up aud deiug. Action, action, action, is
the word.
We must have salt &■ iron. For God’s sake en
courage their manufacture. It is no time to drive
off capitalists with your individual liability claus
es. Remember the people are famishing for these
things and the public, therefore should share
the risks. If a big hearted man is willing to put
iu his money, let him take the risk of his stock
and let the people take the balance of the risk.—
Don’t ask him to risk his whole estate. The most
prudent men are they who invest when the liabili
ty is limited—reckless nien only take hold of a
Charter with liability unlimited. The communi
ty is always safer from the first than the. last.—
What good let me ask uid the individual liability
clause do in certain Bank Charters which were
seized upon by speculators and converted into
wildcats. Noue, positively none. But whatever
may be policy iu reference to Bank Charters it
will be ruinous to try your individual liabiity ns to
Iron and .Sait.
Gentlemen of the Legislature, once more take
ample care of the Soldiers and their families. If
we are conquered our all will be gone. 8pare us
not then, who are at home at our ease iu the way t of
taxation. Pour ou the last coals of taxation, es
pecially on the cotton growers and the specula
tors- This awful war is waged mainly about ne
groes, and after January to save them from eman
cipation will be its chief aim. Negro property
therefore should bear ample burdens. One noble
way vou cau serve them is to arrest speculation.—
How it can best be done is for your wisdom to de
vise.
Finally friends, adopt some mode to rid the
State of its swarms of Dogs. The worthless crea-
urcs kill sheep enough to clothe your soldiers and
consume enough to feed their families.
