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. After our troops

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

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.

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.

The Prospect for Provision.
The Dalton (Ga.) 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

continue, reach a much higher figure

companies which will first tender their services and

Each company,to be accepted, must consist of not
less than ffty nor more titan eighty members, rank and

HIurdcroiiN
The Pensacola “Observer” of Saturday
evening, in speaking of the incident con
nected with the fight, and the conduct
of the Federalsat Fort Pickens, cspecialy,
says:
“But the meanest and most contemptible
act of theirs was the execution of the
threat made some time ago by that prince
of hardened scoundrels, Harvey Brown,
that he would not respect hospitals. 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
