A dispatch from Lyncbbnrg, Y T irginia, to the Knoxville Register, says reliable accounts have been received of the fight at Guyandotte, on the Uth inst. Col. Clarkson’s brigade marched 200 miles to Guyandotte and completely surprised the A ankee troops in that town—numbering 250 under the command of Col Whaley, a traitor Congress man elected from Western Virginia. Col. Clark son arrived at eight o’clock in the morning, and took possession of a bridge winch cut off the re treat of the enemy. The fight lasted about an hour, the Yankees fighting from houses and places of concealment. Clarkson took 98 prisoners, kill ed 40, wounded 5o,Jand caused many to be drown ed who attempted to escape bv swimming the river. We captured 250 Enfield rifles, $5,01,0 dollars’ worth of clothing, a number of cavalry horses, and various articles of plunder, valued at $2,000. We lost two killed and five wounded.

Aflnir* in l*|,|i*nroIa. We had the pleasure of an interview yesterday, wiih Lieut. Barnes, the able and popular mem ber of the House from Richmond, who is an oflicer in the Washington Artillery, stationed at Pens .co la. He obtained leave of absence last week, as soon as he heard the bombardment had opened. He reached Warrington after tiie suspension of hostilities, and gives a graphic and cheering ac count of the bombardment and of the appearance of our batteries after the contest. Fort M’Rea stood the seige much better than anybody expec ted, aud indeed is not damaged at all. No iin pression was made upon any of our batteries, and only a third cf them were in the contest. The Navy- Yard is not injured, though balls and shells fell in every quarter. The wooden tenements at Warrignton, formerly occupied by the employees at the Yard, were burned with hot shot, but the loss is trifling. It was pretty certain that one or more of the ships of the enemy were disabled though the exact damage to them or to Fort Pickens could uot he ascertained. Our batteries threw chiefly shell which exploded with remarkable precision over and around Pickens and. The vessels the firing of the enemy was very had the first day, though they improved somewhat as the seige progressed. Their shells were very defective, and a great ma uy of them did not explode, our boys have gath ered up piles of them to use as balls against the enemy. Gen. Bragg was delighted with the re sult of the seige, and the highest enthusiasm pie vailed among our men. Red flags, expressive ot defiances were kept floating from our works at several points, and all are anxious lor a renewal ol the fight. We welcome Mr Barnes back to the capital, and hope the next time be is called to Pensacola it will be to see the Confederate flag planted on the walls of Pickens. Oar Mali AVnlcr Itiullirr at' the Snviiniiiili Republican. What a great tiling is salt water! In the opin ion of the Editor of the Savannah Republican, the mere circumstance of living near the salt water, giv*-s a man great knowledge in military science It is his right to decide, aud his prerogative to command what shall and what shall not be dune Whilst all those unfortunate "land lubbers” who have the inisfortunate to live far inland, have no right so much as to express a wish on the subject We had heard that salt-water gives some men a swelled liead, but we had no idea before, that it conferred such important privileges. Iu answer to a hope expressed by us that the enemy at Port Royal would not he permitted to fortify their posi tion, and remain unmolested until they receive re infore ments from the North, our salt watei brother rebukes our up country ignorance by tell- icg us that Hilton Head Island was ten miles from the main land and could not be assailed accept by a Navy. Hiltou Head was not so far from dry land when we were along there, and we might reasonably suppose it had not changed its posi tion. At any rate we know that o:ir troops and the inhabitants were able to retreat from there, in spite of the Lincoln gunboats. If men, women and children in the hurry and confusion of a re treat can find means to get off of the Island, we should think that brave and enterprising men could find means to get on the same Island. We rejoice, however, to know that salt water does im part to those living near it, such profound knowl edge in Military science. The people of Savannah having this knoxvledge have no doubt rendered their city impregnable to the enemy and icill nut need any land lubbers from the interior to htl/i de fend it, and if they are assailed, we hope to see a splendid exhibition of salt-water skill displayed in its defence, and at the risk of receivinganoth er rebuke from our salt water brother, we will ven ture to hope that some plan may be devised, to ex pel the enemy from Port Royal and Tybee before he has time to strengthen his position and receive reinforcements from the North. If this is done effectually wc shall greatly rejoice, xvliether it is done according to salt water science, or by the dashing gallantry of an inland land lubber. Waiting for th«* I’lmmy lo aget ready. It may he very brave, and it certainly is very generous, for us to wait for the enemy to strength en his position, reinforce his troops, and in fact, to select his own time for fighting, hut we doubt very mceb whether it is wise tor us to do so. For several months we have had a large army before Fort Pickens, and the garrison, during the sickly season, was said to be sickly, discontented and weak. It is believed that the Fort couid have been taken during this time, with comparatively small loss on our side. But we suppose that our officers disdained to take advantage of the weak ness of the enemy. They waited for them to stiengthen their position, and receive large rein forcements of men and ships, they waited in fact for the enemy to get read}’ and commence the fight, and they will now repel the attack no doubt with great valor; but would it not have been bet ter to have taken the Fort when its defences and garrison were weak? Are not the people of South Carolina pursuing the same policy ? They appear to be waiting for the Lincolnites to fortify their position at Port Royal strongly, and to get all their reinforcements from the North, before they molest them. When they do attack them we have no doubt the South Caroliaus will fight like tigers, and will probably whip the enemy, but it will be at a great loss of life. Would it not be better to attack them beforo they receive their reinforce ments ? I.ate from Truiicnarr. YVe clip from the Memphis Aralancbc of .'1st the following items of interest. The men engaged in the rebellion against the State are said to be the lim.-t igno rant. Parson Brownlow has been heard from. lie is iu Sevier county, engaged iu preaching the gospel. Gen. Carrol’s brigade left Chattanooga on Thursday to join Gen. Zollicoffer at Jacksonboro. The rebellion in East Tennessee is regarded as effectu ally put down. \Ve learn trom a gentleman who reached the city lost night, from Columbus, that n report had just reach ed the camp that Jeff. Thompson succeeded in enptur ing, on Thursday last, the steamer l’lattee Valley, with a number of prisoners. The capture was made at Price's lauding, on the Mississippi, ubove Cairo. All the prisoners except two took the oath. Those who refused totake the oath were Federal ofii cers. who, wit Ii a spy were sent to Columbus. The spv had been to ColumDus lecently, and bad a complete plan of the fortifications at Columbus. It is supposed that the spy would be hung. Later advices from East Tennessee—to Wednesday evening—represent that a!'the Union men arrested at Chattanooga have taken the oath tosupportthe Confed erate Government, and beeu released, except Black ford, oil whose person was found the plan and papers re lating to the bridge burning. The authorities would not permit him to go free. They have him still in pris on at Chattanooga The Chattanooga Gazettee; of Saturday, says 100 or 120 arrests in all have been madetof Liucoinites in that and the adjoining counties, nnd only six or eight in the city. |y The Legislature otthe State cf Alabama hasas- sumed the payment of the Confederate War Tax, levied on the property of the people of that State. II-ivent we got a Clarkson in Georgia who could surprise the Federal party on Tybee some night ? We fear that too much time will be wasted in strat egy, and the enemy will get firmly seated, before a movement is made to dislodge him. Personal courage has never failed us. We understand that Gen. W. H. T. Walker, late of the Confederate Army has been appointed Brigadier General by Gov. Brown, and his nomination eonfirmed by the Senate. Errata. Our reporter requests us to say that he made a mistake iu reporting the amendment offered by Mr. Dever to the bill known as the Stay Law ” on yesterday. Mr. Dever moved that the clause authorizing officers to collect costs, be sticken out, but the amendment xvas lost. He regrets this injustice to Mr. Dever, who is a vigilent and conscientious legislator, and who, in otlei ing the amendment, desired to prevent officers from encouraging litigation for the purpose of making their fees, while the rights of plaintiffs are suspended. In some counties this practice has become a great evil, and ought to be remedied Inlrrcsling ( orr< «|i«iiilrmT. We publish in our present tun,- the interesting cor respondence betweeu Gov. Brown and Gen'l. Wm. II. T. Walker. We think most of our readers will agree with us that these letters do great honor to both the parties concerned. Gov. Brown although not n Milita ry man knows how to appreciate the merits of a veteran soldier xvlio bears upon his body the sears received in many a glorious contest. Gen’l. Walker shows by hi letter, that he knows how to write ns well as how to fight. Now when his native State is invaded he does not stand tocouut the chances whether he or his friend II. R Jackson should be the seuior officer, but nobly consents to serve under Jackson. When such men as Henry R. Jackson, aud Wm. H. T. Walker are put at the head of our volunteers we may expect all that skill aud the most daring courage can effect, will be accom plished. For the Southern Federal Union. Treasnrr I¥ole*. To the members oj llie General Assembly— If we assume the Confederate War Tax and add it to the public, debt of the State, we have to raise $8,000 000 this year. The interest on that sum at 7 percent, is $560,000 per annum. If we issue State Bonds and sell them to the banks, we will have to pay this sum as interest on them each year, and we will receive for them only the bills of tin- banks, which they can print and sign at a very small cost. The bills will draw no interest to the .State; and the banks, during the suspension, will be under no obligation to redeem them in gold, sil ver, or bonds bearing interest. In short, we give the banks our State Bonds at interest in exchange for their notes icithout interest; or, in other words, we make a donation of over half a million of dol lars, annually, of the people’s money, to the banks There is neither retrenchment, economy-, nor jus tice in this. If the State, in place of Bonds, issnes Treasury- Notes, redeemable, if holders perfer it, in State Bonds drawing seven or eight per cent, interest, such Treasury Notes will circulate as money: anu will, to the extent of the issue, take the place ol bank bills, and will not cost the State a dollar ot interest while in circulation. The State will seldom be called on to redeem them with bonds as few men in these days of speculation, hav* money to lay aside at interest. Most men can make more than legal interest by the use of theii money: and the holders of Treasury Notes wouli never ask to have them funded with bonds, antes? ihey wished to lay up the money at interest. The Treasury Notes are much more safe than bank bills; because the property of every bank am every citizen of Georgia, is bound for their re demption; while only the properly of each bank, and its stockholders in proportion to the amotin of stock owned by each, are bound to redeem tin bank bills It follows therefore, that every pru dent, sensible man would preter the Treasury Notes as being more secure in these times of revo 1 ut ion, than the notes or bills of any corpoiatiou i lien why give the banks our bonds at interest, foi their notes icithout interest, when we can issue bel- ti r, safer notes than theirs, which will, while it circulation, cost us no interest T But the bank* say, “If you are determined b issue Treasury notes, let the notes bearin'erest ’ I would ask, why pay interest on them while ii circulation ? The batiks pay no interest on their- while iu circulation; ours are better, and the peo pie will prefer them. As a last mode of resistance some of the bankers threaten that they will not make the Treasury notes bankable In othei words that they will not take them in payment O' debts due the banks. This is cool, indeed ! when we consider that they have all violated their char tors, and even now hold them only at the mercy of that State whose notes they threaten to dishon or. - 1 lit-, i* coolness sublimated into hank impu dence. It would i, e easy to get around tbi? threatened difficulty, by inserting a short claus, iu the bill extending bank suspension, providing that no bank which shall refuse to receive at pai State Treasury notes, shall have any benfit und-, the bill. Perhaps a clause of this kind would make them sensible of the obligation to the State, for State mercy. Is it possible that members will hesitate for a moment between issuing Treasury Notes ami is suing Stale Bonds ! By- doing the one, you save to the State over five, hundred thousand dollars Just think of it; by issuing Treasury notes, you save as much as our whoie State Tax is this year I And ifyon issue State bonds instead ot th, Trasury notes, our taxes wilt be at least doublet next year to pay to the banks the interest. Wil you, the Representatives of the people, not regain this reasoning ? Will you be deceived by the specious arguments of hank men? Who are the gentlemen that are most eloquent in resisting the issuing of treasury notes ami in f*vor of issuing State bonds 1 Look at them; consider where they are from. Are they not mostly from the cities, oi do they not represent a constituency especially in t'-rested iu banks ? I impugn the motives of m ntenibei; but who does not know that interest of ten um-ousciously m sleads the Jionest at heart In conclusion. I will put these questions to members: which do you love best, the State or the Banks? Will your constituents sustain you, af ter you get home, if you take from the State over ball a million of dollars, and give it to the banks ? Can you meet your constituents on your retrun and hold up your heads, if you adopt a measure here which will double their taxes next year, when you could have avoided it just as well as nol ? Think of these things. JUSTICE. economy in that legislation which drives the ablest men of the State from these important po sitions by withholding reasonable and just com pensation for their services. Men can doubtless be found wbo will undertake to fill these pieces for half the compensation proposed by the bill, but they are not men whose abilities or qualifications entitle them as public officers to the respect or confidence of the people It may be said that this reduction of salaries of the Judges, is only intended to apply during the war, when their labors are less onerous than in times of peace The bill contains no such limi tation. If. however, this is the object, the bill wholly fails to meet thecase. If the nfew Consti tution does not vacate the offices of all tbe Judges, (and the opinion of many of our ablest Lawyers is, that it dots not.) each is entitled to serve till the end of the term for which be was commission ed, and the Constitution denies to the legislature the powei to diminish the salary of either during bis continuance in office. We have three Judges of the Supreme, and sixteen Judges of the Superi or Courts Of this number, the commission of only one Supreme Judge and four Superior Judges ex pires during tbe ensuing year, or during the prob able duration of the war. If this bill becomes a law, tbe result will be, that twelve of tbe Judges of the Superior Court will each continue to re ceive a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars per annum, while four of them porloiming the like labor, will each, receive ouly fifteen hundred dol lars per annum, and two of the Supreme Judges will receive each, thirty-five hundred dollars per annum, while the others who sits with tliMn on the same bench, and does the same labor, wfll re ceive only two thousand dollars per annum. So far as the purposes of economy as a war measure are concerned, the bill ouly reduces tbe sa aries of five out of the nineteen Judges, leaving the oth--r fourteen as heretofore; while it makes the most unjust discrimination between those who are, aud those wbo are not, affected by its provisions. Tbe whole saving for the ensuing year, would only be the difference between the pr.ser.t salary and the proposed salary of live Judges, which would not, probably, return to the Treasury, as much money as the General Assembly will take from it, in pay ment for the time spent by them in tbe considera tion of this question. I am not, therefore, able to see, ei-lier the economy of tbe measure or the ul timate benefits to the people. I am aware that it is the opinion of many per sons, that the people are always on the side of the lowest salarit s. My own observation has been, that the people are generally governed by princi ples. by justice and common sense : that they are always w-m-'-r •- p-v j“°‘ “-nuiensation to those w ho render them valuable services ; and thal they stand most firmly by him who stands mosi iudc» ibly by the right, whether it appears popular at the time or-not. In conclusion, it may not be out of place for me to remark, that I have not the slightest personal interest in this bill as my own salary for the time tor which 1 have been elected, is fixed by law, and cannot, under the Constitution, be increased or diminished by any action of the General Assem hly. Tho same was true in 1857, when tbe salary was raised to four thousand dollars per annum, and I served two years after the passage of the act. at the old rate of three thousand dollars per annum. I would not have withheld my sanction from a bill which placed the Governor, members of the legislature, Judges aud State House officers, each upon the old salary allowed prior to 1857, or which reduced each in like proportion below that; but I cannot consent to yield my sanction to what I consider the unjust discrimination made against the Judges by this bill. Let us do justice alike to those who have a voice here, and to those who can not be heard, JOSEPH E. BROWN. to fight against one abroad. In the same paper from which we are quoting, there is a letter repub lished from the London Guardian, iu which a Ma rylander, under the dominion of the tyrant at Washington, writes to England. “We have drift ed since April last, into a cold blooded, cruel, un principled military despotism ’’ c uch being tbe case, the Guardian, a paper of very high influence and formerly against the South, comes out now in favor of'the South. But suppose the leading Southern papers publish to the world that we loo are living under a military despotism: what bet ter then are we than the North? To how much more sympathy are we entitled / There is a solemn responsibility resting upon newspaper conductors. Oh! that they would weigh tbeir words! There are a class of highly respectable gentle men and newspapers in Georgia who because th»y have heretofore differed with. Gov. Brown, may clog the Executive and the government in the discharge of duties upon which our salvation de pends. Will these men and papers pause and re flect / If they differ with the authorities ill refer ence to any measure of policy, will they not hence forth discuss the question at issue in a proper tone and temper ? The question of seizing private property is certainly a veiy delicate one. but if the public welfare requires, it must be seized. Let ns bear and forbear. Our all depends upon it. Nov. 29,1861. THE PEOPLE. For the Southern Federal Union- The Rank* t». Ihr I*copIr. To the Members of the Georgia Legislatue : We desire, gentlemen, to bring to your consid eration, a matter of great importance to us ; and that is the reductions which are due from us upon our banknotes. We think that, in th-1 present state of the country, we should not be compelled to pay these reductions, and we think it your duty to take away from tbe banks tbe power to compel us to pay them. We cal l upon you to deprive, them Jot the right to protest our notes, if the reductions are not paid We thiuk it altogether enough for the banks that they be allowed to compel us to pay the inter est upon the notes due them. They can force us to do this, or have our notes protested, which is an extraordinary power iu tbeir hands over and above that which is given us. We are willing to concede them this extraordinary power, for the sake of the gool they do iu furninisiiing us a cur rency. More than this, they are not entitled to. and ought not to have. You tiave allowed the banks, gentlemen, to sus- peiul the payments due from them to us. Under >ossible circumstances can we collect a no at EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) #51. J EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,) Mir.LEDGEvii.LE, Ga., Nov. 2Utli, 18til. ) To the House nj Hepresentatives : The Constitution of this State declares that the Gov ernor shall have “the revision of all bills passed by botli Houses before the same shall become laws.’’ If the framers of the Constitution had intended that the Governor should sign each and every bill passed by the General Assembly, without the exercise of bis judgment upon the question of the propriety of the passage of the bill, they would no doubt so have de clared. When they made it his duty- to revise a bill they certainly intended that it should meet his approval before it received his signature. The history of the past has, I think, abundantly shown that much more injury has been done by in judicious and improper legislation, than by the failure of the legislative power to enact necessary laws. The people of the State, acting, no doubt, upon this view, lave iu their sovereign capacity, determined that no bill shall become a law till it lias met the approval of l he House of Representatives, the Senate and the Governor, or having been disapproved by the Govern or, has received tile approval of two-thirds of the House md two-thirds of the Semite. The duty of the Gov ernor therefore, under the Constitution, is not merely :hat of a Clerk, to sign whatever may be presented to dm by the General Assembly, but he is made respon sible to the people with the General Assembly for each law that passes, and it is his duty to revise each bill, md if he approves to sign it. if not, to return it to the House in which it originated. While therefore he has 10 power to originate a measure, he has the power, inu it is his duty to interpose his veto in the way of tbe passage of such laws as his judgment cannot approve. If lie fails to do this when the Constitution makes it his lutv he does not in the language of his official until ‘faithfully execute the office of Governor.” It natu- pay, when very many of us have left our lamilies at home, and are fighting, not only for our own homes, but for tbe property of the bank capital ists ? 1 It is uot our purpose to war upon the banks- W e only ask that they shall not war upon us- We are willing to renew our notes and pay in terest upon them. But how cau we pay the re ductions ? This call is made upon you with no evil intent against the banks. We thank them for what they have done for the country. But we respectfully petition you, without passion, nnd with the best motives, not to allow the banks to ruin us, and take tbe bread out of the mouths of our wives and cbildreu. These are perilous times. Let our rep resentatives in Milledgeville, by wise and prudent legislation, prove themselves equal to the crisis. Nov. 23, 1861. THE PEOPLE. FROM PEN8ACOLA. The following is a copy of a private despatch received in this city y esterday afternoon from a member of tbe Washington Artillery. Pensacola, Nov. 26.—Company all well—the bombardment lias ceased—Col. Johnson's reo-i eut w as not in tbe action. rally follows that he is no more guilty of disrespect or riiieh he >f userpation of power when he returns a bill w lues not approve than the House is guilty of disrespect vhen it refuses to concur iu a measure passed by the Senate. Acting upon this view of the constitutional ibligations winch rest upon me as part of the luw- naking power, I feel it my duty to return to the Gen- •ral Assembly and invite them to reconsider, and if hey still approve to pass in more solemn form such ueasures passed by them as do not command the ap- jroval of my judgment. In discharging this dutv, I ,ee no reason why any conflict or unkind feeling should arise betweeu the different departments of the rovemment, or why either should be offended at the ither, for exercising its constitutionaljiowers or for dis TF lie difference is y one of opinion between co-ordinate blanches •barging its constitutional duties. ply Mlt.LEDUKVILLE. Ga , Nov. 27th, 1861 To the House of Representatives: I return herewith the bill entitled “an act to fix the salaries and compensation of certain officers mentioned therein, aud for other purposes," with out my sanction. Prior to the act passed by the Legislature of 1857, the salary of the Governor of this State was three thousand dollars per annum, of the Judges of the Supreme Court twenty-five hundred dollars each, of the Judges of the Superior Courts eigh teen hundred dollars each, the State House offi cers sixteen hundred dollars each, and tbe mem bers of the legislature, each five dollars per day, and four dollars for every twenty miles travel in going to and returning from the Capitol. By act of 1857, the salary of the Governor was raised to four thousand dollars, the Judges of the Supreme Court to thirty-five hundred dol lars each. the J-dges of the Superior Courts lo twenty-five hiindnd dollars each, and the mem bers of tbe legislature to six dollars each per day besides mileage. A bill passed by the present General Assembly, presented for my signature with this bill, with a view to the reduction of salaries fixes the pay of members of the General Assembly at five dollars each per dsy and mileage, which was the old rate prior to 1857. The bill now under consideration, fixes tbe salary of the Governor at $3,000 dollars per annum, which was also the old rate, and while it imposes atidit onat duties upon one of tbe three Slate House oflicers, it makes no reduction in the salary ot either of the three, below the old rate, but it reduces the salary of each Judge of the Su preme Court to two thousand dollars, which is a reduction of fifteen hundred dollars, or five hundred dollars per annum below the old rate. Tbe Judges have, in my opinion, received less compensation iu proportion to the tabor performed by them, than almost any public functionaries of the State. Upon what principle of justice or pro priety this heavy discrimination is made against them, I am wholly unable to determine. If it is proper, to fix the salaries of the Judges at a sum far below that which existed prior to 1857, is it not equally proper that the salaries of the Gover nor aud members of tbe legislature, who are to gether,the law making power, be cat down in like proportion. It is idle to suppose that we can command the best talent of tbe State, on either )f the Government, to be decided in the manner point ’d out by the Constitution and is not one of personal •trife. In giving my reasons for withholding my as sent from such measures as I do not approve,my hab it is to use plain language. But entertaining as I do he most profound respect for each co-ordinate branch >f the Government, nothing is more foreign to my pur pose than to give offence to any. With these remarks ipon what I consider the duty of the Governor in con nection with the legislation of the State, I herewith return to the House in which it originated a bill enti tled “an act to fix the amount of compensation the nembers anil oflicers of the General Assembly shall reo-iye for their services and for other purposes therein mentioned.” This bill fixes the pay of the members of the General Ae.-vmbly at five dollars each per day. and four dollars tor every twenty miles travel by each going to and returning from the Capitol. This is as high as the highest per diem compensation and mile- ige ever received, so far as I am informed, by any General Assembly prior to 1857. and was prior to that time the compensation of members in time of pence md general prosperity. The General Assembly has already den-i mined oyavotc of two-thirds in each bouse, that the pres ent emergencies require greater economy and low er fees than those which existed prior to 1857, and have reduced the salaries of Judges of the Supreme Court, from thirty-five hundred, down to two thousand dollars, and of Judges of the Superior Courts, from twenty-five hundred, down to fifteen hundred dollars. If this action be correct, and it has received the sanction of the law making pow er, in ihe most deliberate and solemn form known to our Constitution, it is certainly proper that tbe compensation of the members and officers of the General Assembly be reduced in like proportion. The reduction of the salary of a Judge of the •Supreme Court from thirty-five hundred to two thousand dollars, is a reduction of three-sevenths of the wholer amount of his compensation. The compensation of a member of the General Assem bly for the last three years Ehas been six dollars per dsy. Three-sevenths of this would be $2 57 cents and a fraction of a cent per day. if I have made no mistake in the calculation. Take this from six dollars, and it leaves $3 43 per day which would be the proper compensation of a member, of the General Assembly, should they apply the same rule of reduction and economy lo their own salaries or compensation whiqh they apply to the Judges. This would be a reduction of one dollar and fifty-seven cents per day on the wages of each member, more than is made by the bill under con sideration. There are 213 members of the Gen eral Assembly. This would be an additional re duction of $334 41 per day, or ot $13,376 40, in a session of forty days. Tbe whole amount saved to tbe Treasury by the redaction of the salaries of the Judges for the ensuing year, would be only $5,500. As there will be but one of the Supreme, and four of tbe Superior Judges, who can be af fected by the reduction. This is much less than half tbe amount which will be saved by a propor- tienate redaction of the wages of the members of tbe General Assembly. Upon the principle of re duction solemnly established by tbe General As sembly in case of the Judges, the people have, in my opinion, a right to expect that tbe members of the legislature will make this reduction in tbeir own wages, and thereby save to tbe Treasury this sum of $13,376 40, together with three-sev, ntbs of the mileage, which would be an additional savmg of about $3,020 00. Believing that it is the duty of the General Assembly to apply ihe same rule of reduction to their own wages which they apply to the wages of the Judges, I re spectfully invite a re-consideration of the bill. JOSEP H E. BROWN. The Officers of the Legislature.— Col.Jno. Billups of Clarke, as President of the Senate, and lion. Warren Akin speaker of the House, seem to be giving general satisfaction as presiding officers. -Mr. Mob ley, of Harris, makes a good Secretary of the Senate, and Mr. Carmgton Clerk of the House, is a most capitol appointment. He is in our opinion a model tellow, and seems to be perfectly indispensable about Milledgevil.e; he is kind and obliging and always ready to do one a favor.

Times, of Thursday, says: * Prom present indication, the prospect for consumers to purchase their usual sup plies this season is gloomy in the extreme. A'ot the first lot of hogs has yet passed this way from Tennessee for the market South; and if all we hear be true but few will be brought in this direction from that State this winter; and this we learn is ow ing to the fact that the Government has made heavy contracts with the hog raisers of that region for the army. An intelligent gentleman, residing in the lower part of this State, just from Middle and West Tennessee, whither lie had been for the purpose of buying hogs for his own immediate use, informs us that it was with difficulty he could find as many as he wanted (50) for sale, the most of them have been bought up by the Gov ernment agents. He said they were sell ing readily at from 11 to 121 cts. net, and gave it as his opinion that the price will reach 1G cents in a month’s and by the time it is put into bacon, will command from cts. That meat will, should the war and meat will, should the war and blockade continue, reach a much higher figure than it is now selling for, there canbe no doubt, and we think it would be iytv e am OBEDIAH ARN Baldw in county ni WE siinouncu W.

We have just read in tbe Constitutionalist of November 26th an item to the effect that some salt which was purchased by a few S. Carolina farmers bad been taken away from them.

We dont propose, now, to disenss the propriety of the measure complained of by the Constitutionalist. But that paper goes on to say, salt is the only arti cle placed under the ban of a military despotism.” Military Despotism! Did tbe writer weigh his words. What military despotism does be allude to ? Is the despotism the authorities of Angusta, or of the State of Georgia, or of the Confederate Ststes ? The Lincolnites say that we are under a milita ry despotism.

One shot was so well aimed at that buildin that it went through it, but did no damage. The baseness of this act places this black guard below the lowest cut-throat and vagbond pick-pockrt of New York. The worst incendiary, the meanest highway robber or the lowest pirate, could scarcely hold a heart callous enough to commit that act.” Bacon, Ashes and Salt.—During the Revolution good bacon was made with one peck of salt and an abundance ol hickory ashes to six hundred pounds. In applying the ashes, it is well to have a bucket of Mo lasses, and apply a portion with a white washing brush to each joint. When well smeared, rub ou the ashes, which will thus adhere firmly and make an impenetrable cement. Let the experiment be tried.
