II is highly probable that the Legislature

State. We would like to see the State seal I
put upon the door of every salt spsculator
in the land, and an agent put at each door
to sell the article at fair price. Dealers
here are demanding $l2 so per sack.
WHAT GENERAL PRICE HAS DONE.
Had not Prices skill and herosm EN-.
ploye ed General Fremonts giant energy in
Missouri, the late surprise at Columbus
would not bave ended as 1t has; indeed, IL
snever-wopld have been tried, for, the Fede-
raj forces of the whole West would have
been upon US. Price has done much for
Missouri, but he has done more for Memphis.

DAMAGE TO THE RAILROADS.
The damage to the railroads in East Ten
pessee by the incendiarism Of last week is
estimated at $4,000. The badge burned on
| the Western and Atlantic Railroad was be-
| tween five and six hundred feet what its es-
| timated cost was we have not learned. The
| loss on all the roads, however, from the
| destruction of property, is triflng compared
with that resulting from the interruption of
| the transportation.-Rno Register, 4th.
SOUNDING THE ALARM.

the Federal Army from Southwest Missouri
and says: ~ o.
| The descent of the Missippi will be made
| by probable force of from $4,000 to 100000
troops. To meet this force will require all
the resources that can be brought to bear
against it, and what is more, there is no time
to be lost. The Eederals at St. Louis are
building and have we'll nigh completed, six
or eight gun. boats to be accompanied by l5C
barges, as transports. These demonstrations
together with the fact that troops are, pour.
ing into Cairo by regiments daily, are preg.

arouse our whole people to a sense of theii
danger. We admonish them that they have
! work in store for them if they would detepG
their homes, their rights aud their sacred
honor. TO ARMS must be the watchwor(
from this day henceforth. Every man il

tFrom the Baltimore Correspondence of the Mem

The long delayed battle of the Potomac il
believed now to be imminent. By the re
cent destructive rains, the Chesapeake 'aut
, Ohio Canal has been washed away, in manN
places beyond all hope of repair and th,
very last source of supplies, other than tn
line of railway to Baltimore, has been Gu
off from Lincoln. Hence arises the imperi
Gus necessity to Mcclellan for battle. More
over, it is whispered out of doors that GU
Generals at Centerville have been given cart
blanche to carry on the campaign. So lool
out.
