RICHMOND, Sept. 81, 1861.
SIR-You have desired my opinion upon the
qucs ion, how far the License laws OF the State
apply to suffers with the army.
The question is somewhat delicate in ITS
nature, but shall state my conclusion briefly:
\ sutlcr, under the Articles Of War, IS
merchant permitted. under the rules and DIS
clpine OF var, To exercise his calling within
the lines or an army, or forts, &c, &c.,
The merchant has no right to exercise his
calling within the State, thy its pei eImission-
with such permission, lie cannot exercise 1t
in the State, and within the lines Of an army
&C., excerpt by permission OF the military au-
arc vel defined The regulations Of each have
respect T., their several necessities cannot
be ex ended so as to infringe the authority OF
the other
10 say that because the State has licensed O
man tv be u merchant, he may therefore sell IN
camp. would be to extend the Stale authority
81 as to override the military power within the
limits Of its command To say that permission
by the military power should give license to
deal in merchandise, regardless Of State law,
would be to subordinate the civil power to the
military, and to subject law vi a sovereignty
to be repealed by the act Of Il military COM
lnandcr
see no conflict between the two jurisdic.
tions. The merchant must have license to
sell anylohere in the State, whether in OF out
of camp, from State authority-but such Ii.
cenSc cannot give the right to sell in the camp,
agaiast the command uf the military authur.

How They Catch Ihemsclves.
BY TYLER, WISE & ALLEGRE.

4 few weeks since the Lincolaites of St.
Louis sent out the report that Fremont had an
overwhelming force in and around that city
From their accounts one would have supposed
that Fremont's forces, like those Of noted
General Of antiquity, would darken the SUM-
in their victorious march against the rebels.
The lowest estimate of his available force was
forty thousand, and some Of his newspaper
tools ran it up to sixty thousand But since
the battle of Lexington, the Path Finders
Immense army has dwindled down, according
to their revised reports, to very inconsidera-
bic force-but little more, in fact than a re
spectacle body guard for General of colossal
proportions" They attempted ito fright the
souls" of their fearless sdversaries by exagge-
rated reports of their own numbers, and signal.
IL failed. The rebels of Missouri, having not
the fear Of Fremont before their eyes, arose
in their might, and drove the Yankee invaders
from one Of their Strong points 10 another till
they becaule afflicted with IL panic of the Bull
Run order.
They, tho Yankee invaders Aforesaid, made a
stand at Lexington but soon .feI before the
valor and skill of Pricr and his band OF citizen
soldiers. The news Of the Lincoln defeat at
that point was received with chagrln and NOR.
titca.ion by the minions Of dcsnotlS'n at Wash.
ing,on and elsewhere, and "cHrstS loud and
deep" were heaped upon the head Of Fremont
for not sending from his tremendous army a
few regiments to the relief Of ''thc brave Null
igan." 1t is n burning shame, say the Lin
colnites, that Lexington should have fallen IN
to the hands Of the rebels while Fremont had
an idle army Of tens Of thousands so near at
hand, who were "Spoiiing for fight" Ere.
mout is forced into a defence ofhis conduct
against the imputatiun Of incapacity and COW
ardice; and how does he meet tho injurious &C.
cusat!or? Why, he announces, through his
tools, that he had no troops ID spare from st.
I.ouis--tba has whole effective force at that
point was but eight thousand! See the arti-
Gle from Schuyler Conifax's paper in another

that it caunot be sent forward IN any sufficient

and thu interests Of Government itself, require
that the means should be aifJrded for curing
every pound Of pork which the country can
produce. The fine crops Of corn will favor the
lattellins or the hogs, and will thus add to the
amount OF pork, provided there is an assurance
that salt can be had, and on rational terms.
A few freight trains Of tkis article, falling into
the hands Of the patriotic among our derlsrs,
would produce great ard immediate decline
in price; for the spectators who have been
monopolisng would be compelled, by their
own interests, to come into market with their
salt at much more accommodating figures than
thep now ask.

Another Handsome Achievement.

We have the satisfaction Of publishing, in
another column, dispatch announcing The
prosperous termination Of Confederate expe-
dtion from Roanoke Island, against body Of
the enemy who had taken position on Chicka-
macomico Beach When the steamer Fanny
was captured By our steamers the other day,
she was loaded with supplies for this Chicka.
macGlnico party. Our brave fellows having
applied the nice blankets. &c, on board the
Fanny to the promotion Of the comfort OF
honest men, next resolved to look after the in
vaders themselves, of whose position they be-
came aware through the prisoners captured on
board the Fanny. The tclcgraphic dispatch tells
how the Yankees ran, and how we pursued
and how We captured 3 Of them, and took
1000 muSkets, and their cannon, and their tents
and even their shoes and stockings. The tel-
lows family stripped themselves for the race.

that they were prevented by rough weather
from doubling Cape Hatteras, and so made a
landing where they could. As already stated,
the Fanny was bound to their relief with sup
plies when she was captured. Our ,nen have
made cr'"p'e'e finish of this Chickamacom-
