81. c. b. CIDLEY. Our telegraphic dis
patch from Richmond announced yesterday
that this gentleman had been appointed Col
lector of the War Tax in Alabama. We
have, since our boyhood. had considerable ac-
quaintance with the names of leading men
in that State, but never have heard of This
one. We presume it is an error, and that
Col. JOSEPH G. BRADLEY, of Huntsville, is
The appointee. Col. BRADLEY il an intelli-
gent and enterprising business man, and if be
accepts the position, will discharge its duties
faithfully. He was the leading spirit amongst
the Douglas Democrats in North Alabama
last wear, aud resisted secession to the very
last moment. In his appointment, we have
an adherence to the rule laid down by Presi-
dent DAVIS, in his letter to THos. A. r. MEL
scN that he did not inquire into the past po-
litical relations OF his appointees. ANY 9th
er rule would be unworthy of the Govern
ment, and we trust President DAVIS will see
that all the members of bis Cabinet adhere
to it

since, to discharge from the service some Mis-
sissippi volunteers, under the age of eighteen
years, whose relatives desired that they
should pursue their collegiate studies, re-
marked that such youths ought never to
have been mustered into the service, and that
one whose friends would apply for his dis
charge. He observed further, that this class
of young men could render the country more
efftetual service by preparing themselves for
future usefulness, than by volunteering as
soldiers. Indeed, said he, in making soldiers

From Missouri.

Dispatches from Jefferson City to the Lou
isville journal of the 18th state that battle
was fought on the 18th at Lexington, No.,
between Gen. Price and Gen. Mulligan. The
latter was fortified there with large Fede-
raj force, and was attacked by Price with
Is 900 men. The battle continued during
the day, both sides fighting desperately, with
the advantage on the side of Price. Multi
gan was expecting Lane with a reinforce
ment of 5000 Federal troops. and the des-
patch expressed belief that Muliigan could
hold out until they arrived. A later des-
patch. however, in the Journal of the 10Th
indicates that Price had succeeded in captur-
ing the place. We hope that this is the case.
and that the Legislature called at Lexington
will meet and hold its session.
Another despatch in the Journal from St.
Loui. states that the Secessionists had been
driven out of the portion of State North of
the Missouri river, and that there would be
no further trouble OH the Hannibal and St.

The Capture OF Fort fatteras-the
Statement Of General Walter Gwynn.

As a matter of justice 10 the country, no less
than to the author of it, whose conduct has
been grossly missrepresented, we cheerfuly
yield good deal OF our space to-day to the
clear and matter-of-fact statement by Gen.
Gwynn, of his transactions in regard to the
defence of the coast of this State, and most
triumphantly exonerates Gen. Gwynn from
any. the slightest bame for the disaster al
Ii .tteras. According to this statement,
scarcely recommendation or requisitiOn
m ade by Gen. Gwynn was ever complied
with by the authorities having jurisdiction
ia the premises. Had the advice given been
followed, and the acquisitions made by Gen.
Gwynn complied with, Hatteras would, in all
probability, have been now in our possess sion
instead of that of the enemy. 1t would al
most seem that Hatteras given away.
The reader will be struck with that por-
ton of Gen. Gwynn's statement which re-
lates to the condition of Fort Hitteras. 1t
was currently reported after the surrender
that the fort was given up because il was not
bomb proof and the garrison were in momen-
tary apprehension of the .XpOsure of the
magazine. The statement shows that the
fort Low stands intact. aud that, in fact, it is
IA stO1ger work than any OF those erected for
the defence of Charleston and seige of Fort
Sumpter.
Taking it all together, the loss of Hatteras
is one of the most extraordinary events of
the times. The disregard Of Gen. Gwynn's
repe ated, and almost importunate requis-
tons; the disregard of the plan laid down by
him for the reception of the enemy on his
attempting to land: the permitting three
hundred of the enemy to remain safely on
shore all night in the occupancy of the
Camp designated by General Gwynn for our
troops. and also Fort Clarke; and the crowd
ing into Fort Hatteras, against his express
injunction, of nearly four tunes many
men as it could usefully hold, are all tea-
lures of this transaction which mark it as
one of the most extraordinary of the age.

DOMESTIC WINEs.-There has been 30 much
obscuIity thrown around wine-msking, that
many are deferred from making the effort
that have abundance of grapes. But every
family that has two grape-vines in bearing
on the lot. may make wine enough for home
consumption, better and cheaper than they
can procure from the grocer's factory. Its
manufacture is simple aud may be done by
any one of ordinary capacity. One of the
most essential things to be observed in its
manufacture is in the proper regulation of
temperature. Ii too cool the fermentation is
slow and apt to sour; while if there is too
much heat, it will soon go into the acetous
state. The best general temperature, accord
ing to my experience, is between 81 and 64F.
There is little difficulty in maintaining the
temperature in cellar, but it may be OBJ
served that the act of fermentation elevates
the temperature.

Seizure OF Bacon and Leather.

We understand that 10 compliance with the
Proclamation of the Governor, large quaint
ity of Bacon aud Leather, en- route for Viz
ginia, and the property of SPECTATORS, was
seized at the Depot of the North Carolina
Rail Road in this city on Wednesday. We
hear, also. that quantity of Bacon bought
on speculation, and destined for point out
of the State, has been seized at High Point.
Speaking Of SPECTATORS, we are constrained
to say that glaring attempts at monopolizing
the article OF Bacon have been made in this
quarter. One concern, composed of two in
dividuals not engaged in mercantile business
and paying no merchants license. have
bought large quantity of Bacon at Is cents
OF less per pound, and are selling it at %
cents. Now we are willing to see any man
make reasonable profit on his invest men Is,
but we do contend that profit of cents a
pound on Bacon is most unreasonable and
extortionate. This is no time for taking sell
fish advantage of the necessities of the coun-
Try. Instead of doing So men should be con-
tent so live and let live.''-Raleigh Register.

CURIOUS FACTS DISCOVERED BY THE FRENCH
CENSUS The French census recently taken
discIoses some curious facts. Among these
there is an excess of marriages in the large
towns and cities of France over those in the
country, proportionstely to population. 1t
also appears that but about seven widows in
every hundred marry again, while twice that
number of widOwers re-enter the connubial
state. A majority of male children are shown
to be born of parents of nearly the same age.
The average duration Of welded life, in 1856,
was twenty-five years, against twenty-three
years and two months in 1886. One-third of
the men and about half of the women yearly
married are unable to sign their names
This proportion, however, does not hold in
the department of the Seine, where only one
man in nineteen and one woman in six are
unable to write. In the same department,
also. the proportion of children born out OF
wedlock aud legiiimated by the subsequent
marriage of their parents, is much greater
than in the provincial towns, and is smallest
of all in the rural districts.

A SUGGESTION TO worcestershire find the
following suggest ons upon d very Important
subject in the last number of the Southern
Field and Preside, and commend them to our
volunteers
A medical friend, whose European expert
ence gives value to his testimony, and whose
heart has been panied at the number of
deaths which have already taken place in
our army from the loss of blood from
wounds. suggests that the perchoride of iron,
an article TO be Obtained from all our larger
druggists, will check hemorrhage even from
large blood vessels promptly and effectually.
Four or five drops are sufficient to check
completely the food from anything except
the largest arteries, and half teaspoonful
will arrest bleeding even from these. He
advises that each non-commissioned officer
should be provided with a small fat tin bot
tie of this, containing say couple of ounces.
which he can wear in his breast pocket, and
that the bottle should have wound around il
little bait of cotton on which the liquid
could be dropped or poured to apply it.

Suicide of Rev. Z. v. Reese, ID. ID. of
Baltimore.

We were shocked to learn by private let
ter from Harper's Ferry, received on Satur-
day last, that this esteemed friend of ours
had committed suicide, on the Saturday pre-
ding, by "cutting his throat with razor
from ear to ear" our informant states
Doct. Reese had the misfortune to lose his
wife-a most estimable lady, to whom be was
tenderly attached few months since
which circumstance, together with the sad
state of the country, superinduced. We have
no doubt, the condition of mental depression
under which he had been laboring for some
time previous to the commission of the fatal
act The Baltimore newspapers, We are in
formed. attribute the suicide to mental aber-
ration, caused by the public distress. Doct.
Reese was Southern man in his feelings. as
we know, from his private views impaired to
us; but occupying, as editor of the Metho-
dist Protestant newspaper, a very delicate
and responsible position, in the midst of in
fuences calculated to control his personal
predictions; he endeavored, in bis journal,
to pursue middle, conservative course that
would not, as he hoped, prejudice the inter-
ests of the paper committed to his charge.
Doctor Reese was an amiable, chr istian
gentleman. greatly esteemed by all who knew
him. He had a fine poetic fancy, and in his
early manhood produced verse OF great ele-
gance and beauty. As writer of prose,
and editor for more than twelve years of a
popular aud widely circulated weekly, his
articles were generally admired; frequently
for their force and pungency-always for
their graceful aud measured periods. As a
controversial writer; especially upon such
themes as church history and theology-with
which he was perfectly familiar-he had no
superior in that department of the editorial
profession. As a preacher and lecturer he
was always popular; much sought after-and
some of his pulpit efforts, and platform ad-
dresses. were characterized by the most fer
vid eloquence. As debater, we have rare
ly seen him surpassed; being always ready,
and dashing into the very midst of the arena
OF polemics, without seeming to calulate
chances, or providing for the contingency of
retreat.
Such are the opinions in brief, we have
formed, from long and intimate acquain-
lance with the friend whose untimely end, at
the age Of about Ain the very prime of
his manhood-we now deplore. Alasl that
be should have fallen by his own hand; and
that he who bad SO often preached to others
the duty of resignation to the Divine allot-
ments, should not have been baoyed above
the storms that were raging about hint No

doubt that reason was dethroned, ere be

NEW ARRANGEMENTS.
Bulletin and avalanche Combined,

The Memphis BULLETIN and AVALANCHE
have been consolidated. 1t will be ineonve-
nient to retain the names of both papers, but
as the AVALANCHE has been regarded as q
pioneer in the cause of Southern Deliverance,
we have determined to retain its name.
Owing to the scarcity of printing paper
and the general stagnation in business, many
of the oldest and most prosperous newspa-
pers, both North and South, have faded out.
Candor prompts US to say, that a few days
since. we were fearful the same causes would
force us to a temporary suspension, but the
new arrangement places the AVALANCHE
above the reach of contingencies. Several
thousand dollars have been invested for the
purpose of pushing the paper forward, which,
with the happy combination of newspaper
experience now engaged in Us management,
will enable rs to present to the public first
class newspaper.
The history of the country for the next
few months will form a most exciting epoch.
We shall spare no labor nor expense. either
by correspondence or telegraph, to obtain
the latest and most reliable intelligence du-
ring this momentary and perilous era. All
the departments aud minuti@ that tend to
make up first class newspaper, equal to the
stirring times in which we live, shall be care
fully observed. Relying more upon our per
formances than promises, we enter upou the
