ENCOURAGE INDUSTRY.

Our government ought to contribute all it can to
encourage and develope our new branches of in
dustry. Some of them are Of grave public concern
and necessity. These it ought efficiently to sustain
by patronage and by the assumption, if need be, of
a share of the pecuniary responsibility. Powder
mills, shot towers, armories, manufactories-such
as these ought to dot our whole Confederacy. We
should have them in abundance.
The chief circumstance which deters outlay, ard
sits like nightmare on the breast of enterprise is
the uncertain duration of the war. By the time
that a citizen has invested his whole capital in
some ew manufacture, and thus staked his all on
the undertaking, a sudden peace may like an I'M
timely Frost nip his budding hopes. Yankee no.
tons" may again flow in, and again our people may
run after them.
The government should do all it can to remove
this apprehension 1t should adopt and proclaim
some stable policy that shall give both assurance
and protection to enterprise, and bid it. through
time to plume its wings for bold yet prudent
flight. Destroy the fear that the speedy restoration
of peace will restore the dominion of Northern
manufactures in Southern markets. and shadow
will be removed and stimulus applied which will
impart ten-fold life and activity to mechanical
development We respectfully commend the sub
ject the reflections and the efforts of our states
men.-RichmOnd Enquirer.

QUESTIONS IN THE RULE OF THREE-The New
York Daily News which still preserves its indepen-
dence, propounds the following stunning questions
in its issue of June 10:
If required seven years, in the time of George
I'LL, to wage war for the subjugation of three mil
lions Of white, free born Americans, how long will
it take for Abraham Lincoln's Government to get
through with "subjugating" eight millions of the
same sort of people?
If the British Government incurred a national
debt of e5OOO0O 600, or 50 800 OOO, 900, in vainly
endeavoring to subjugate three millions of people,
how much will it now cost the Federal Government
to try the same experiment, to their own satsfac-
ton, upon eight millions?
If the people of the Northern States paid about
S29, 600 per annum towards the support of the
Federal Government when its total expenses were
S40,O00,000 how much will they have to pay when
it is placed on war footing, when all the Southern
States have seeded and the whole burden left on
us, and when the total expenses are to be about
$500, O00,OO0f
troops, by proclamation of April 1.-two months
since-has only been able to advance its army at
the most, twelve to twenty miles within the boun-
daries of the State of Virginia how long will it take
it to complete the Subjugation Of the whole of the
eleven Confederate States?
If it required only two months of preparation for
war under Black Republican Government to re.
duce the United States six per cent stocks from par
value to-S4 per cent how low will they have fallen
by the expiration of the first year of actual hos
tlities2
. If three months of Abolitionist ascendancy at
Washington have cost the North thus much, how
much will four years of such an Administration
cost? ....-. ~. ...

Mr.. EDToR:-In your paper of the 9th instant
notice you seem to call for more definite descrp-
ton Of the locality of the lead mines of Virginia.
In my communication to the Fayetteville ObserUer
was remiSs in that particular, supposing that thou
sands in the State would know its location In my
statement of the distance from the North Carolina
line was slightly mistaken Instead Of from ten
to fifteen miles, it is just twenty-seven miles from
the line Of North Carolina, located the county of
Wythe, twenty-one miles east of Wytheve, on the

IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS TO ARMY SURGEoNs.-In
the course of battle the gunners and in fact all
engaged are subject to injuries of the car, by the

artillery. Numerous cases of ruptured membrane,
with or less permanent deafness, will be found
among the returning soldiers. In the artillery, the
effect of position with reference to the gun is pecu
liar. Those men who stand nearest the muzze feel
the report most but all who to the eeward suffer
more than those to the windward Let the medical
staff of each regiment keep prepared quantity of
glyccrine mixed with beladonna, say about in the
proportion of forty grains Of the latter to the

fore an engagement with wool or cotton (the former
is preferabe.) saturated with the mixture to place

word of command or the drum, and will prevent
great deal of injury. The therapeutic Of the pre-
ventive medical men will perceive, as it forms coat

cd by little warm water, and will effectuay pre-
vent the vibration of the air striking inuriously
upon it. 1t would also be useful to those exposed
to dampness when camping out at night, the organ
in question being extremely sensitive to the night
air. By taking this precaution, that deafness to
which gunners are now SO liable may be prevented
