month. The officers gallant soldiers, and de-
serve all praise for their bravery at Bethel and their
great military efficiency there and at all times. Blu,
were the men brave, and an acknowledgment from
the officers carry out their plans noby and gain
glory thereby, would, it appears to us, be about ~
natural thing if it Is to come from either sids.
But let this whole business of I" testimonials" bt
done with and and discountenanced by public senti
ment if not by the officers themselves. This is NJ

SAVING BAcoN.-A correspondent of the Huntsville

of the Confederate States, which it may be worth
their while to heed in reference to the saving Of ba
The gist of the matter is contained in the fol-
lowing extract:
planters would refer to quotations, they will
observe that moasses can be had in New Orleans at
25 per gallon, and rice in Charleston at cents
per pound If they wiA change their mode of allow
ance and give ~ pounds OF meat, pounds of rice,
quart of molasses and peck of meal they will
sumo home productions, rice and molasses, TO the
partial exclusion of foreign meat. Estimating the
this plan which gives 2K pounds of meat instead of
pounds per week, will diminish the consumption OF
| bacon 25000O pounds a week in the COnfederacy,
and the negroes would be much more healthy. 1t is
said that typhoid fever is unknown where molasses
