reasonable to suppose that the wet term for this
season is passed. II there is no rain for the next
thirty days we shall come out most favorably in
the waysof cotton and sugar.
The packets from Memphis are bringing in
great many passengers, and SO is the railroad.
Spies and Black Republicans are pouring in upon
as. At the same time there are many loyal citi-
zens, or supposed to be such. It is more than APP

to be abused Citizens of doubtful loyalty are ar

We doa' want these Northern fends (they may be
justly termed) among us. They will smugge
themselves in on US through the season. Every
boat arriving from, Memphis will bring some. The

To save ourselves, martial law is limited as being
demanded by the daily events. We4have had spies
among us all the season. The ship yards and our
naval preparations have been duly Inspected by
Northern spies. late Boston paper contains full
and minute details of the nondesoript. which has
been the subject Of 50 much talk. The most ex-
tended description of the craft, her capabilities,
her gastnowels, are given as concise and complete
as though the writer of the letter or the inforner
had, the management of the craft. Some one has
violated confidence. which is eginced by the letter
inquestion. It must have been general inspector
of the South, as it were. He gives the condition of
the military defences of the city, He however lies
in one respect, when he says all our troops have
been draftedto go to Pensacola and Virginia. It
appears he took regular and easy tour of general
inspection. he alludes to the condition of Baton

speaks of the military movements number of sol,
ders, and batteries of these places, though
he WAS regularly constituted Inspector-General.
We lose sight of him from Memphis turning up, as
it were, In Boston. In the name of the holy cause
OF the South, is it not time that these spies, traitors
and iniormers should be driven from our midst? Is
It due to our safety to submit to the farce of taking
the oath and examination before a commissioner?
