The BLACK Flag i'm War.

We find the following just and suggestive
paragraph in the Charleston ''CotHier" Of
Tuesday:
War in its best estate is war, and is horri-
BILE enough. If we must meet invaders, let
Us meet them with all the mitigation which
Invasion affords. To say thati no prisoners
ere to be taken under any circumstances, is
only to proclaim war of determination, in
which both sides will suffer useiessly The
cry of determination, black flag, and no
quarter, is shouted most vocifero1sly by some
who are eVading any kind ofwar. People
who fight are willing enough to accept war
of rules, as long as possible, and if they
catch thieves and incendiaries, they can
readily discriminate against them in favor of
prisoners of war. ~ 5

abe supply .of SAT-.

The editor OF the Augusta Chronicle & Sen
fins, writing to that paper from Milledge-
vile, Gays: az
! have been furnished by the President of
the Senate with the information il regard to
the quantity Of salt in Georgia, given him by
a distinguished citizen Of Savannah This
information will be entirely new to the peo--
pie Of the State and will convince them that
they have been subjected to the grossest out
rage at the bands of spectators in this ar
ticle of prime necessity. We have all been
made to believe that there was great scar
city Of salt, while the facts prove that the
supply is larger than usual. The gentleman
from Savannah writes that be has seen a
statement OF the export OF salt from Liver
pool 10 Savannah, for the years $4,000 and
1861, made by Blount, English and Brandon,
ship brokers, Liverpool, and this statement
shows au excess for 1S60-61 of $3.50 sacks.
The gentleman learns, also, from the best in
formed sources, that the re- export of salt
from Savannah is less for 1861, by 10000
sacks than for the previous year-thus show
ing'ia total supply for the present year of
l09,9T0 sacks in excess of the supply for the
past year. This amount of excess is amply
sufficient to cure ft0o niiliors Of hogs. / hope,
then, we shall see grand tumble down in
the price of salt.

The officers are worthy of such compa

commanding such company, and the com
pany on having such officers to command.
We learn that there are yet few vacancies

We have just conversed with an intelli-

has Rad every opportunity of gathering cor
rect information in regard to affairs in that
quarter, and are pleased to learn that the
fortifcations at that place are so far COM
pleted as to insure it againsta any attack from
tae enemy. Heretofore it has been fortified
only with regard to an attack from the Ken

LATER NORTHERN ADVICES.
A Turn i'm the Kaleidoscope,
Lord Lyons Quiescent.
WAsHINGroN. Nov 21. 1851,

w ASHINGToN, Nov. Il, 1861.
Lord Lyons has made no offensive COM
ment upon the Mason and Slidell affair. The
reports 10 the prejudice of that Minister
which have been put in circulation are posi-
lively coDtradieted in diplomatic circles here,
AID it is quite certain that Lord Lyons will
commit no breach of courtesy. If he has
any communications 10 offer they will be
made in an official form, but there is no indi-
cation that such action is contemplated. The
facts in the case are very clear, and that our
Government ought to seize the rebel COM
missioners is too clearly established TO admit
of much argument.
The report that the Spanish Minister said
he would have demanded his passports, b ad
Messrs. Mason and Slidell been taken flom a
Spanish vessel, or that he entertained such
an opinion, is untrue.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER %. 1861
Cumberland Gap.

The Montgomery (Ala,,) Nal exhibits some
uneasiness relative to the proposed expedi-
ton against East Tennessee, through Cum
berland Gap, by The Federalists. 1t appears
to be we'll informed about the topography of
the country, in that section of East Tennes-
see, but is evidently labOring under mistakes
as to the movements of our forces. It says :
Gen. Zollicoffer is driven out of Kentucky.
and Cumberland Gap left open 10 the inva-
ding foe Why did Zolicoffer abandon this
gorge2 He must have reasons for it, and we
can see none except that he felt utterly una
bic to defend it against the Overwhelming
forces which he must have known were com
ing against him.
1t is a mistake TO say that Gen. ZoLILcoF-
FER was driven out of Kentucky He
might have maintained his ground in that
State, bat, for strategic reasons, fell back to
Cumberland Gap, bich he can hold against
any force the enemy can send against It, In
stead of abandoning the Gap, he has fortified
1t, and retains sufficient force there TO
keep the enemy in check, whilst the remain
der Of his command is doing efficient service
elsewhere His movements have not been
chronicled by the press for the reason that it
is believed the safest policy TO let the enemy
remain in ignorance Of them. The HaI may
rely npon it, there is not the least probability
of the Lincoln army entering East Tennessee
by the Cumberland Gap, or any other Gap
within the department of Gen. ZoLLICoFFER.
Whenever it makes the attempt it will be
broken to pieces and scattered.
Much of the feeling which exists in the
more Southern States touching the danger of
invasion through East Tennessee, has grown
out of the exaggerated accounts OF the mem
hers engaged in the recent burning Of
bridges, and reported to be under arms and
marching TO the aid of the Federalists. The
conspiracy was really confined to but COM
parativeiy lew ignorant men, deceived by |
designing and knavish leaders, and it has al |
ready been effectually ''crushed out" We |
shall have no further trouble with them. The /
deluded men who passed over into Kentucky /
during the summer, and were organized into |
regiments at Camp Dick Robinson, if they |
have not already 'seen the elephant and re-
pented of their folly, will soon do SO. We
have no dobt the greater portion Of them
would now gladly lay down their arms and,
return to the peaceful homes they abandoned
in an hour Of excitement, were they not
afraid. The late retreat from London to
Grab Orchard, SO graphically described by
the correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
sial, shows to what hardships and sufferings
hey are exposed, and it would be unEeason-
able 10 suppose they prefer such life to
that which they might be leading under the
aegis of the Confederate States. They de-
erre to suffer for permitting themselves to be
nisled by Andy Johnson and his coadjutors;
Ind are beyond the pale ofpublic sympathy.
they are neither to be feared nor pitied. Ex-
les and traitors to their State they must
