The fever that has been ravaging the vitals
6 the rump government since the taking Of
an overdose of ssltpster at Fort Sumter, is
= elding to alternate doses Of common sense

tie despot, and assert both the necessity and
the justice Of peace policy ard these bright
par icles amid the mass Of rubbish that now
max up the nucleus O. the northern press,
have been called together b. The power of CO.

FRANCE BUYIYG VIRGINIA ToBAeco-SrG-
EIFICANT FAcT.-Ws learn from the Richmond
Examiner that the agent Of the French gov
eminent, now IN Richmond, is about to buy
tobacco there. It is said be will n in
the course Of a few days. Independent of this
being good news to the planters, there is a sig
nifcahce in this action Of this agent. It is
well known that tobacco is an article Of mo-
noPoly with the French government. The
question naturally arises, then, why would
that government authorize The purchase Of to-
baccO If the blockade is to be recognised and
continued? Wsuld France purchase that
which she cannot receive? If this be true, as
stated, it is very encouraging to Virginia
planters and a disagreeabls hint to the Lin
coin administration.

EDIroRs APPEAL: I gave a recipe last week
which was published in the APPEAL, to make
biscuit that would keep sound a month or more
In bot or cold weather, with the hope tha
mothers and sisters would avail themselves o
the satisfaction OF making and forwarding to
their sons and brothers in the southern army.
now take he hbeVy to suggest another
matter, the propriety and Importance Of which
is apparent In more ways than one. There
are but few plantations in the South but what
have old broken and useless castiDgs-such as
pete, cast plows, broken and useless cast ma
%chinery, old axes, andirons, (fre dogs,) smooth
ing irons, (fat irOBs,) and useless scraps Of
iron about their blacksmith shops. [ suggest
that all be collected, boxed and forwarded,
free OF charge, 70 Memphis, to be cast into
Lincoln pills, from six Founders to thirty-two
Founders, and when one farmer has but few,
that several farmers mix their respsc i've lots
at sone designated farm to be boxed and for
wsrled.
There is enough Of this old and otherwise
useless metal In the Southern Confederscy to
cast hundreds Of tuns Of cannon balls l would
turtle. suggest that the military board Of each
city take this matter in hand, give information
through the press TO wsom the castings be con-
signed, and confer with the presidents Of the
rail roads terminating at Memphis, and ct
them to transport the old castings to Memphis
free Of freight charge. | am a stakeholder in
one Of these roads, and an in favor Of free
transportation Of officers, soldiers, army pro-
vision, war implements and the materials Of
which they are composed. have collected all
the old castings on my farm, and design for
warding them to Memphis as soon as I can
ascertain the designated coDsignee. and intend
to p,v the freight, on the ground that | am
able and willing. MECKLINBURG.
