VOLUME VI.l
From the Daily Sun of .July 1.
Valedictory.
In obedience to a determination, soma
time since arrived at, to enter some
j branch’of the military service, my con
| nection with the Sun, by sale to Mr. De-
Wolf, terminates with the present issue,
that my arrangements may be completed
to that end.
Now thattLia connection ceases, it may
not he unbecoming to say that the rela
tion 1 have sustained to the numerous
patrons and readers of the Sun, more i
immediately to tho generous citizens of
Columbus, and our courteous confreres of
of tho city press for the three years just
closed, has been of the most agreeable
character, and will be remembered a3
among the most pleasant reminiscences
of a somewhat chequered life. In the
estimate which they shall make of the
manner in which the duties incumbent
on me have been discharged, I trust, will
be considered the exacting demands and
daily severities of journalistic existence.
I part from ray late associates, Messrs.
DeWolf and Gilbert, on most amicable
terras, and with a sincere desire that the
amplest success may crown their energy
and enterprise. lam also pleased to state
that my editorial connection with the
Sun, has been one of entire independence.
I will ho succeeded in the editorial de
partment by Mr. W. L. Scruggs, who as
sumed the editorial chair two weeks since,
and whom I now have the pleasure of
formally introducing to the public. He
was formerly a contributor to several
periodicals of the day, comes recommen
ded as an experienced writer, able editor
and worthy gentleman ; and affords every
guarantee that the interest of the paper
will be amply sustained.
li. J. YARINGTON.
In assuming the labors and responsi
bilities of the editorial management of
the Sun, I can but express the hope that
I may be able to meet the expectations
of the worthy and efficient gentleman who
announces his withdrawal. The numer
ous readers of the Sun, will long remem
ber him for the able and acceptable man
ner in which ho has discharged his duties
as editor.
It will, therefore, be my first great ob
ject to sustain, as far as 1 may bo able, the
character of the Sun as a reliable news pa
per, devoted to the local and general inter
ests of tho country, and above all, to the
great cause of liberty and independence
in which our struggling Republic is now
engaged. WM. L. SCRUGGS.
State Sovereignty.
In the treaty of peace between Great
Britain and this country, in 1783, that
power recognized us as “free and inde
pendent States,“ not as a “free and mde
pent” State. The colonies or StatoQ main
tained each & separate, individual exis
tence as sovereignties, and were not re
cognized as un Agency or Confederation,
until nearly thirteen years after the above
treaty was made, and as long before the
present “glorious Union” for which the
Yankees are fighting, was formed. When
the “Union” or Confederation was form
ed, each State wont into it of its own free
will and accord, in the due exercise of its
sovereignty as an independent power,
and carried with it all the attributes of a
distinct nationality, not specifically delega
ted by the articles of federation. The
“ Union” became, therefore, a mere crea
ture of the States, having no power ex
cept what had been delegated to it by
them
After patiently submitting, for a
number of years, to repeated encroach
ment's and usurpations of Federal aus
thority, and repeatedly but vainly ask
ing for their rights as specified in the
Constitution, a portion of the States left
the Union as they had joined it—in the
due exercise of their sovereignty as in
dependent powers. In the exercise of the
samo sovereignty, they formed anew
Confederation, about t welve months since,
more in accordance with their feelings
and interests, and asked.only to be let
alone in the management of their domes
tic affairs. Lincoln declared war against
them as rovolted provinces of a consolida
ted Republic, the object of which is to
bring them buck into a voluntary Uuion
with the North ; and he makes a singu
lar exhibition of his learning and knowl
edge of his country’s history, bv assert
ing, in one of his State papers, that “the
Union was older than any of the States,
that it had formed the States, and that
they owed to it whatever of liberty they
possessed 1”
au.ly Jolmson and the ltebelii.
It has been a favorite dogma of Lincoln
and his satelites over since the war com
menced, that Georgia, Tennessee and
other States of the South were as much
in the “Union” now as at any time pre
vious. It matters not whether you lived
in “Secesh” or beyond it, you were still
a citizen of the “United States,” accord
ing to the gospel of Abraham,
It would seem, however, that the fol
lowing order, issued in blank by Andy
Johnson to his l%ovost Marshal, admit
that there is such a thing as a limit to
the boundry lines of the “glorious Un
ion
State of Tennessee, Executive Department, 1
Nashville, June 3. 1562. j
Col. Stanley Mathews, Provost Marshal:
Dear Sir: —Mr. is hereby re
manded to your custody, there to remain
until arrangement can bo made for Lis
transportation South, in connection with
such others as may be ready and are re
quired to be sent beyond the National
lines, there to be left with the distinct
understanding that if he returns within
said lines during the existing rebellion, he
shall be considered a spy, and dealt with
accordingly.
Very respectfully,
Andrew Johnson,
Military Governor.
P, S.— If Mr. , before he is re
manded to prison, determines to take the
oath of allegiance and give bond in the
sum of SI,OOO for its faithful observance,
he will be released on so doing.
Andrew Johnson.
Where are They •
A late number of the New York Tri
bune says, if it would not be construed
into an attaok on some military magnate,
or might not be considered incompatible
with the public interest, it would ask to
be informed what has become of the ten
thousand prisoners captured by Qeneral
Pope on the retirement of Beauregard’s
army from Corinth, of which Gen. Hal
leck so promptly and joyfully informed
the Government at Washington. The
Tribune declares that it has kept a studi
ous lookout, but has seen nothing of the
arrival of theso prisoners at Halleck’s
headquarters, or at any prison depot or
city. When the Tribune gets the in
formation it seeks, we shall be glad to
see the paper in whioh it iB given to the

THE WEEKLY SUN.
- _
furties Ii; Xoith Carolina.
The old political hacks and hot house
adventurers of North Caioliu*, are mov
Log heaven and earth in their efforts to
revive old party feuds, and get up angry j
political contests for office. They have
managed to get out two candidates for
Gubernatorial honors and organise two
j parties, both claiming to represent the
! interests of the Southern pause; where- j
j upon, they have began to denounce and i
villify each other in the genuine spirit of
demagoguism. One parry styles itself
“Conservative,” the other, “Confeder
ate.”
From the best information we can
gather, the first is a rehash of the old
Union Federal party, and in its present
attitude, wears one’face for Southern
Independence and another for Federal
usurpation and subjugation, either of
which can be laid aside according as the
fortunes of war or the welfare of tho
“party” may dictate. In this particular,
the “Conservative” party possesses su
perior advantages over theStanly-Lincoln
party, although in other respects, there
does not appear to be a great deal of dif
ference between them. It is gotten up
for the most part by spavined political
hacks, who care nothing for the issnes
involved in the present war, but whosg
pole object is public patronage.
The “Confederate” party claims to re
present the “original” secession element,
and manifests a little petty jealousy lest
someone aside from the original pannel
of the secession per se school shall chance
to float into public favor. We take it,
that little narrow minded attempts have
been made upon the part of a few to get
up a select organization, and that this
has raised an issue of sufficient moment,
in the minds of place hunterß, to get up
a sort of opposition party, organized up
on a basis comprehensive enough to ad
mit accessions from the fag ends of all
factious and creeds, including, as before
intimated, the old Union-blue light par
ty. It is getting high time that all such
selfish attempts to create party strife and
get up heated contests for political pref
erment, should cease. The people want
nothing of the kind, and it i3 the duty of
tho press to frown down all such unpat
riotic and disreputable strategems of
office seekers. Let this be done from
Virginia to Texas, and let tho miserable
office seeking harpies who attempt to
live by “party” organizations, be doom
ed to perpetual infamy.
The Victory,
From the dispatch of Secretary Ran
dolph published ia our morning's edition,
it seems that cur victory in Virginia has
been complete. Tho enemy, after at
tempting to destroy their stores, camps,
and equpages, fled in utter consterna
tion, leaving everything behind. They
seemed to have but one purpose, and that
was to mako their escape and save dear
life. What a sad spectacle to see die
“Grand Army” of the great “United
States,” under tho immediate command
of tho great Yankee “Napoleon,” fleeing
before a band of “rebels” like wild an
telopes ! What a howl of rago, mortifi
cation, and discontent will rise and rever
berate throughout Yankeeland, when the
news of their sad disaster phall reach the
Federal Capitol! What terror and con
sternation will seize upon tho capitalists
of New York when the money changers
of Wall Street shall have realized their
ruined condition! And well may the
kneea of Abraham smile together, as did
those of the Babylonian Monarch when
he read the ominous words, “ Mene , mene,
teleal vpharson .” The sceptre of the Re
publican party has departed; it has been
wrested from them in shame and disgrace,
and, in tho overthrow of this free negro
dynasty, the hand of Omnipotence is not
less visible than in the case of the brutal
and licentious monarch of the old world.
Some of our dispatches represent Mc-
Clellan as being mortally wounded. We
hope this is not correct. A short stay in
Richmond might serve to improve his
morals, and we shall rejoice in the belief
that he may yet partake of the hospitalities
of our excellent Chief Magistrate. Wo
take it, that he is, after all, more sinned
against than sinning; that he is a very
inoffensive, good natured young man ;
and although be ie given to strange flights
of fancy occasionally, it is attributable
to an ardent, poetic temperament, much
better adapted to the closet of the novel
ist, than to the din and carnago of the
battlefield. Many of his official dis
patches evince a bold and vigorous im
gination, and should his life be spared
he might yet become a bright star in
Yankee literature. How nobly he would
grace the literary galaxy of the Cobbs,
the Stowes, the “Perns” and tho Ben
netts of Yankeedom! Ilis own brilliant
achievements and wind mill conquests
would need no Cervantes to render them
immortal. Don Quixote could be his
own historian, and the Harpers would be
his trumpeters. May the “young Napos
leon” survive the conflict and reap the
rich repast of glory that awaits him !
“jiapoleon” Fallen.
The “Young Napoleon” seems to have
been exceedingly unfortunate in his late
“ou to Richmond” enterprise. Like the
hoary old traitor of Bull llun memory,
he may now prepare to retire from the
arena of public life and rest upon his hard
earned laurels. If, unlike the quakey
old dotard of the first “on to Richmond,”
he cannot point to a hundred battle-fields
of gory fame in vindication of his ead
disaster, he can claim the homage of the
whole Yankee nation as an expert in the
art of dirt-digging and telegraph writing.
His air castle stratagems and wind-mill
“victories” would do honor to the fabu
lous Don Quixolte, and will long be re
membered by a grateful Yankee nation.
Generations to come will read with min
gled astonishment and incredulity, the
Herculean achievements of the Yankee
“Napoleon,” and countless young Yan
kees, yet unborn, will be called upon to
emulate his mysterious military proceed
ings in the swamps of the Chickahom
iny; whilst the lovers of romance will
dwell with delight upon his many graph
ic delineations of Yankee “victories.” He
now passes from the stage of action to
give place no doubt to some other “Na
poleon” whom the Yankees will set up
and worship as did the fanatical deciples
of certain Priest, worship their Deified
Calf, but whether “our Moses” will not
grind him to powder also, remains to be
seen.
A few watermelons have made their

LATEST FROM RICHMOND!
The Battle still Progressing
TERRIFIC FIGHTING!
INTERESTING FROH THE WEST!
Bombardment of Vicksburg!
Richmond, June 30.—Yesterday after
noon McClellan destroyed an immense
quantity of stores of every description,
and abandoned Li's fortifications, prepar
atory to a retreat towards James river,
which was commenced last night through
W 7 hite Oak Swamp.
The Yankees have been closely followed
by our troops, and hundreds of prisoners
have been taken ; it is confidently ex
pected that the greater portion of the fu
gitives will be intercepted and captured
before night.
‘, Stuart’s Cavalry captured 3000 Yan
kees yesterday, who were trying to es
cape to York River.
Richmond, June 30.—The attack on
the Yankee fortifications at Ellison’s
Mills on Friday, was made by the 44th
and 48th Ga., and the 2d and 3d N. C.
Tho 44th and 3d suffered extremely.—
The 9th Mi3s., went into the action with
521 men, and bad 31 killed and 150
wounded. The 2d Miss. Battalion had
30 killed and wounded. Tho 2d Miss.
Regiment had 19 killed and 71 wound
ed and 7 missing. The Gth N. C. had
4 killed and 43 wounded. The 4th
Ala. had 23 killed and 104 wounded
and 8 missing.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Richmond, June 30.—The Herald of
the 26th Las been received. It says in
the fight of Wednesday, Hooker’s divis
ion, with Hentzleman’s corps, supported
by Gen. Keyes, was engaged. McClel
lan in his dispatches to Stanton says it
was not a batilo, but that the advance
sought was fully attained with little loss,
though tho enemy resisted stubbornly.—
The Herald says the feuds in the Re*
publican party of New York State are
daily increasing in bitterness and ex
tent.
The Herald says Gold had advanced to
1081. The demand for Gold from bank
ers who are remitting to Europe the
proceeds of American stocks sold for
European account, is in excess of sup
piy-
Cotton market excited with an ad
vance of 2.J to 3 cts. per pound.
TIIIED DISPATCH.
Richmond, June 30.—Reports from
the lines to day are somewhat conflict
ing. Tho majority of the statements in
dicate that our army had hemmed in the
Yankees and that the greater portion of
them would be captured before night.
The dearth of information from the
lines to day has been remarkable, and no
news whatever could bo obtained at the
War Department Several hundred
horses captured from tho enemy by Gen.
Stuart, passed through the city this eve
ning.
FOURTH DISPATCH.
Petersburg, June 30.— A courier just
from Bermuda Hundreds at 0 o’clock,
reports that a portion of the Federals
have been driven to the river, where,
under cover of their gunboats they are
endeavoring to embark. Four transports
have passed down the river heavily
loaded. Our field pieces on tho Ches
terfield side engaged the gunboats and
poured a hot tire into them. Tho gun
boats dropped down to Turkey Island,
followed by our field pieces. The enemy
are fleeing down the river bank, hotly
pursued by our troops and were falling
thick and fast. At last accounts the fir
ing was incessant.
FIFTH DISPATCH.
Mobile, June 30.—A special dispatch
to tho Advertiser, dated Jackson 29th
says: Passengers from Vicksburg this
morning, report that on yesterday morn
ing 7 Federal vessels succeeded in pass
ing up by our batteries. A severe bom
bardment then commenced lasting two
hours from the fleet and the battery on
tho Louisiana shore. It is understood
several vessels, including the Brooklyn,
wero badly damaged. Heavy slaughter
among the crews. The Confederate loss
9 killed, including one woman. Our bat
teries uninjured. The fire was princi
pally directed at the city ; several hou
ses were shattered. It is supposed that

for several days. A deseiter reports
that the enemy’s loss is heavy, and that
they expected nn easy capture.
LATER.

my is slowly bombarding the town from

fice has been smashed up.
Gentlemen from New Orleans, say
Butler has issued an order levying a
tax of $2,000,000 on the city.
SIXTH DISrATCn.
Mobile, June 30.—A special dispatch
to the Advertiser, dated Jackson 30th,
says the Yazoo correspondent of the
Mississippian, writing under date of the
10th, states that two of the enemy’s
gunboats were reconnoitering in lazoo
river when Commodore Pinckney burn
ed the Confederate gunboats Yau Dcrn,
Polk, and Livingston. This action is
considered unnecessary, and is much
deplored here. The loss ot property
heavy. ,
Gen. Yau Doru issued on order ou
the 38th, to the army declaring that
Vicksburg should be defended to the
death, and says the Federals can never
occupy Vicksburg.
The fleet is too much crippled to
engage iu successful tilt with our batter
ies.
Richmond, July 1. — Sharp cannonad
ing and occasional reports of musketry
heard this afternoon in the direction of
City Point. The firing ceased about 9
o’clock. No information of results re
ceived.
Two hundred prisoners captured this
morning arrived at 9 o’clock to-night.
Richmond, July 2.—A1l accounts con
cur in representing the battle of yester
day, to have been the most desperate and
terrific which has yet taken place. The
enemy held a very strong position, and
maintained it against the repeated as
saults of our troops for several hours,
having concentrated their entire force for
the last desperate stand.
A heavy rain has fallen this forenoon,
and it is believed that there has not been
much lighting to day, though occasional
heavy reports of artillery have teen
heard in that direction. No prominent
Confederate officer was killed yesterday

25,000 to 30,000 strong. The Yankee
General Curtis is being reinforced.
Jackson’s Tennessee Cavalry burned
1,500 bales of cotton on Thursday last,
within twelve miles of Memphis.
The vote at the recent municipal elec
tion in Memphis was small, no respecta
ble person being a candidate for office.
The London Times regards the defeat
of Gen. Banks by Ewell, as a most im
portant result for the Confederates, on
account of the lesson it teaches the North,
in showing them they must make efforts
greater than anything they have yet
made, in order to restore a single border
State to the Union. It also says that the
attempt at the subjugation of the - South
grows more impracticable. U
A special dispatch to the Advertiser
from Jackson, dated June 30, says Gen.
Chalmers has taken Boliver, Tenn.
Col. Tappan of Arkansas, says Gen.
Hindman, with 30,000 men, has Gen.

to day says, “as we write, the booming
of deep-toued cannon from the enemy’s
fleet at Vicksburg, is distinctly heard.
When it is remembered that the distance
by railroad is 44 miles, we may well
imagine that the bombardment is the
most tremendous ever known on this
Continent. Tho citizens of Viccksburg
and the military authorities are firm in
their determination to suffer the city to
be battered down before they surrender.
Confidence, determination and cheerful
ness, pervades the camps and the people.”

News from James Inland.
We learn that the enemy are still hard
at work at thrir batteries. They were
observed Friday gathering brushwood,
bushes, &c., it i3 supposed, to cover their
works. A few shells were thrown from
one of the gunboats Friday afternoon,
but what they were firing at, or tht-.ir de
sign, could not be conjectured. There is
no prospect of a fight for some tame to

Poor Shields.
Gen. James Shields, of Port R -public
fame, was before the Senate of the United
States last Monday for a Major Gt ;neral
ship. Several of the Senators d< wlared
this nomination of Lincoln’s one not fit
to be made, and upon the voto being
taken, it was rejected almost unai umous
ly So much for Shields
AJTnlrs la Nashville.
The recent expedition of otarncs cav
alry to Murfreesboro’ seems to have cre
ated quite a panic in Nashville. It is
said that trains wero fired up, papers
packed away, and everything put in
readiness for a grand backward move
ment. Andy Johnson, ever mindful of
of his own personal safety, is said to
have,slept in the train, and that the same
is true of the gallant commander of the
Post, Gen. Dumont. Whether these state
ments are literally true, there may be
some doubt, but all accounts represent
that the Yankees and tories wero thrown
into great consternation, and that the
“military Governor” manifested a great
deal of solieitudo for his personal safety.
According to tho Kuoxvillc Register,
the passport office in Nashville is in the
Female Academy, near the depot. A
Yankee flag is strotched above the side
walk, with guards forming an avenue to
the door, in order to compel persons ap
plying for passports to pass under the
“glorious” stars and stripes. A spirited
young lady, who reached Knoxville a few
days since, determined not to submit to
this humiliation, and attempted to pass
behind the guards and reach the door
without passing under the Yankee bunt
ing, when the gallant Yankee soldiery
charged bayonets at her, and informed
her that she must go beneath the North
ern rag or go without a passport. Uhe
chose tho latter alternative, and reached
the “rebel” lines without paying obedi
ence to the hated emblem.
The outrages upon Southern men who
have refused to bow the kneo to the Yan
kee Baal, is said to exceed all credulity,
but latterly the tyranny has been some
what relaxed through a wholesome fear
of the approach of a Confederate force to
recapture the place.
Ci)nU*uouga Again THrenleneil.
it will be seen by reference to our tele- i
graph column of this morning, that the
enemy’ are collecting in heavy force at l
Bridgeport and Kelly’s Ferry, on the ;
Tennessee river, preparatory to an attack
upou Chattanooga. Theie will be a de3- ,
perato move made upon (lie part of the
Fed orals to capture Chattanooga, and as
desperate an effort made to defend it. i
Both parties seem impressed with the
military importance of the [dace, and,;
both armies arc being heavily reinforced.
As an intimation of better times in that
department of our army iu Tennesseee,
ws are happy to notice that Gen Ledbet
ter has been superceded by Gen. Heath.
We know but little of the merits of the
latter officer, but it is fair to presume that
he would not have been assigned the
command of so important a post, had he
not given evidences of competency. At
ail events, the change can produce no
harm, and may do much good.
Now that the “on to Richmond” enter
prize has failed, the programme of the
enemy in Tennessee is not so easily con
jectured. They may indeed attempt lo
carry out their plan of seizing the East
Tennessee and Virginia rail-road, ex
tending the dominion of Andy Johnson
over the entire State of Tennessee, and of
cutting off all supplies by that route to
the Confederate Capitol. But their orig
inal plan of forming a junction; with
McClellan’s grand army at Richmond, we
presume, will now be abandoned.

i.atest from lCuroj>e,
The foreigu news published in the Phil
adelphia Inquirer, is particularly inter
esting. It contains a full account of the
discussion in Parliament on Amercian
affairs. We select now the following
passages:
In the House of Lords on the loth, ;
Earl Carnarvon called attention to Gen.
Butler’s proclamation relative to the la
dies of New Orleans. He condemned it
in severe terms as without precedent in
the annals of war, and asked if the Gov
ernment had information of its authen
ticity, and if it had protested against it.
He also asked if there was any truth in
the rumors of the mediation of France
and England. The success of such me
diation would depeud greatly upon the
manner in which, and the time at which
it was offered; but ho trusted the Govern
ment was in a position to give the subject
a favorable consideration.
Earl Russell hoped the American Gov
ernment would, for its .owu sake, refuse ;
its sanction to it and disavow it—(the
Butler proclamation). The proclamation
waa important to the whole world. The
usages of wax should not bo aggravated
by proclamations of this character. 110
thought such a proclamation addressed
to a force which had just captured a hos
tile city, was likely to lead to great bru
tality. He thought there was no defence
for his proclamation.
Earl Russell also said that, from Lord
Lyons’ dispatches, the Goverumeut be
lieved the proclamation wa3 authentic;
but with respect to any action of tho Uni
ted States Government in tho way of
approval or disapproval they had no in
formation. Lord Lyons had made no
representations to the American Govern
ment on the subject, and he did not ap
pear to have any official information con
cerning the proclamation upou which he
could do so.
Sir I. Walsh denounced the proclama
tion as repugnant to the feelings of the
nineteenth century-
Lord raluierßtou thought that no man
could read tho proclamation without feel
! ings ot the deepest indignation, (Cheers.)
It was a proclamation to which he did
not. scruple to attach the epithet c.f inla
-1 mous. (Cheers.) An Englishman must
blush to think such au act had been
i committed by a man belonging to the
| Anglo-Saxon race. If it had sprung
! from some barbarous people not within
the pale of civilization, one might, have
regretted it but would not have been
surprised. But that such au order j
should have beeu issued by a soldier—by i
a mau who had raised himself to the rank
of a General —was a subject not less of
i astonishment than pain.
Lord Palmerston further said that Her
MsjeGtys Government received a din
patch yesterday from Lord Lyons enclos
ing a copy of the proclamation of General
Beauregard, in which allusion was made
!to the order of General Butler. There
was no objection to lay the dispatch on
j the table. With regard to the course
! that the Government might think fit to
j take, that wa3 a matter for their discus-
I sion, but lie was persuaded that there
i was no man in England who would not
j show the feeling so well expressed by
Sir James Walsh and Mr. Gregory.
Mr. Gregory deprecated any fussing
or meddling iuterl'erence with ihealfairs
of foreign States, and entirely disap
proved of the homilies which were being
continually read to foreign Powers by
Her Majesty’s Government. This, how
ever, was an exceptional case. A proc
lamatiou had been issued by a General
of the United Ktates, repugnant to de
cency, civilization and humanity, which
was to be put iu force against a people
to whom wo were connected by every tie
of family, language and religion. It
was the duty of the Government to pro
test against such a proclamation, and
appeal to the moral sense of the world
against outrage so wicked, so inexcusa
ble, aud so useless.
The London Post of June 11th, de
j uouuces, in tho strongest terms, the
proclamation of General Butler relative
to the ladies of New Orleans. It rcganls
it us the greatest insult that could be of
fered to the Federal army, and thinks
I the Government is bound to recall Gen
eral Butler aud have him court martial"!
, ouch an act us that of Butler’s, suya Ujp
Post, if not promptly disavowed, would
soon turn the scale, finally aud deeis
ively, in favor of (he Confederate cause.

June 271 h, 1862. /
Eds. Sun: Day before yesterday eve
niiig our cavalry scouts encountered the
Yanks three or four miles this side of
Pensacola. The enemy were uuder cover
of a house, giving them considerable ad
vantage of location. Owing lo the fact
that ourscoul3 were divided, the enemy
1 effected their escape. It is only doing
| justice to Capt. Partridge, whom I know
to be a meritorious and gallant ollicer,
who was in command of our little force,
i to say that it was through no fault of his
that a Vandal was left to tell the tale.
Our force was armed with double bar
rol guns, without sabres. Five of the
enemy were wounded. But as we num
bered twenty-three and they but eighteen
the party ought to have been bagged.
None of our men wero hurt. Better luck
next time, and that right speedily, for
we all feel that no laurels have been won
on this line of operations as yet. This
can't continue to be the case always, for
there are some dashing spirits in this
army—men who aro certain to make for
themselves a name.
All eyes are now directed towards
i Richmond, but it must not be forgotten
! that, insignificant as some may consider
this line, we secure a part of Alabama
and your own-Rate from the Iread of (he
llanausof the North.

Accounts from East Tennessee repre
sent our forces as still pacing up aud
down tbo rail road between Knoxville
and Chattanoega. We have no disposi
tion to criticise and find fault, but it
would seem that if, instead of trotting
about from one Gap, town, or cross roads
to another, they would make a bold, ag
gressive movement upon the enemy, the
cause of liberty might be more effectu
ally served. We notice, also, a good deal
of complaint about the forces in Chatta
nooga— statements by correspondents
that our army there is idling about, gal
loping over the streets, drinking whisky,
and having a fine lime generally ; whilst
the VaDkce3 and lories are plundering,
burning and stealing every thing before
them in Sequatchie Valley. We hepe
that much of what wo hear is untrue, and
that competent men will be placed at a
point so important.

“Yesterday, some rebel prisoners wore
brought to Alexandria, where a number j
of Secession ladies clustered around them, I
furnishing them with dainty refresh
ments and choice flowers. This was all
well enough, but these same ladies gross

We have been kindly furnished with
the following official documents, which
show a determination on the part of the
patriotic Governor of Alabama, to furnish
his people with salt, despite the efforts
of the speculators to extort upon tha
indigent families of volunteers ai the rate
of S4O and SSO per sack for salt. The
Executivesof other States would dodo well
to emulate the energy of Gov. Snorter .

To the Judge of Vrohate of County :
Sir: —i’he surplus salt made byJ. P.
Figh & Cos., on the State Reservation
leased to them, will be set apart and ap
propriated to the use of indigent families
of volunteers from Alabama in the Con
federate Army. To enable the Executive
to carry out this object, you are request
ed, after consultation with your County
Commissioners, to report to thi9 Depart
ment the quantity of salt which will prob
ably be needed to supply the wants of
such indigent families in your county.
To prevent too muoh complication, the
following towns will be made places of
deposit, to wit: Mobile, Demopolis,
Montgomery, Selina, Tuscaloosa nad
Talladega, and you will name the town
most convenient for delivery to your
county-
The salt cost the Slate $1.25 per bush
:ol at the works. It will be there sacked,
or otherwise packed for shipment to the
| point, of delivery, and sold at prices to
’ reimburse the State the oost, charges for
; packing, freight and any other necessary
I outlay. Tho cash must be promptly paid
On delivery.
Shipments will be made as rapidly as
possible, and orders filled by the local
agents as fast as the supplies arrive.
They will be instructed to deliver only
to the agent scut by the Commissioners’
Court, who must file his written author
ity to pay for and receive tho salt.
As every couuty has a fund to aid in
support of indigent families of volunteers,
it is expected that a sufficient amount of
such fund will be appropriated to meet
this necessary want.
Proper instructions will be given to the
local agents for the disposition of the salt,
aud they will notify you when they will
be ready to deliver lor your county.

Eds. Suit: 1 am here in tho charac
i ter of a “sait maker,” at least I should
like very much to become entitled to that
j “character” to the extent, of enough of
! tho article to save my own poik, but as
| yet 1 have not commenced the work, though
i I have been here* trying for some time.—
There are a few who are “boiling” after
weeks aDd months of hard work and slow
progress at this out-of-the-way place,
“fifty miles from anywhere.” The few
works in operation arc small and of a
temporary character, turniug out from a
peck to a bushel per day. All are mak
; iug simply for their owu use, though I
have met with one who otlcitda little for
sale at S2O per bushel to help out his exs
penses, aud said it cost him 50 per cent,
over that. Lumber aud wood, and clay
or bricks, and provisions aro hard to get.
The blockading vessel lies inside the bay
and has been uj> once to “the town.”
The expectation here is that wo shall
all soon be broken up, aud this doubtless
would occur if there were more “works”
and they of any consequence. At the
head of West Bay or “Phillips’ Inlet” is
a safer place, and near the latter the gulf
is approachable under cover of Band
banka and thickets. If any others come
down on the salt business they had bet
| ter go west of this—on the gulf east of
Ghoctawbatchie. Our only safety is to
j keep out of sight aud establish small
woiks for private use, and these becom
ing numerous, may be regarded too
! “contraband” to bo permitted to go on.
j It’s a dark future respecting salt. If
“let alone” here, all that can be made
will be but “a drop in the bucket,” and
it is too much to expect that we shall be
let alone when so entirely in tho destruc
tive power of the enemy.

j The Macon Telegraph gives quite a
i doleful account of the monopolists and
! speculators in that seotion. It says that
since the news of the lalo Confederate
victory has been confirmed, numerous
cotton goods, clothing material, and but
tons have found their way to market, and
have been closed out at reduced prices.
The question with the extortioner seems
j to be, whether to disgorge at reasonable
prices or run the risk of loosing all.—
Whilst many have made huge fortunes
by speculation since this war commenced,
it is probable that almost B3 many will
be ruined 7iy a sudden and unexpected
peace. They had well to look out.—
