The press of this city, Newborn, Whining o
ton, and other places in the State, are de-. q
nouneing in justly severe terms the spirit
manifested by beartless, unprinoipled men,
to demand famine prices for everything to-,
eat We are ashamed to hear that dealers in -
this city have asked the brave soldiers, who
have volunteered to fight for them and their
property, the most enormous prices. We
heard tho captain of one company say his
men bad been charged twenty-five cents per,
pound Tor bacon, sixty cents per dozen for
eggs, twenty-five cents per pound for coffee
and sugar, thirty cents each for csnteens

hope so, for the credit Of our city and Of
poor, sordid, aysricious human nature

Verify, it is too, true, that persons who
have provisions to sell are endeayoring to
exact extraordinary high prices. We saw
on Market street, this morning, o lot OF bacon

Iephed twenty-five cents per pound. We
remarked that any person who would pay
it ought TO be drdmmed out of town.
We call again for some action relative to
the prices of provisions. Persons who have

A recent traveller in the South commune
Gates the following to a Chicago (Ifl) paper:
We met an engineer from the Jackson and
Great Northern Railroad, who had the
adIoitness to slip away from his locomotive,
and steam up the river to Cairo. He said IL
was not easy for every one TO get away from
the South. He informed US that he saw on
his way two men hung and one whipped,
tsrred and cottoned One was hung, though
a Southerner, simply because he declared he
