Work W0rkIl

The South has work to do-hard work, to carry
her successfully and trinmphantly through this war;
Our men who are able to bear arms, must not hesi-
tate to rush to the field of battle Our sacred
honor. our property, our lives and our strong arms
are pledged, and must be consecrated to the main
tetance of our liberties and our rights. Our SOL
diers iI the field must be clothed and fed and sup
ported by those who stay at home. Men of pro-
perty must not hold back or hesitate at the large de-
mands which will be made upon them. Every man,
woman, and girl or boy able to put hand to work
must 60 at it With true heart and will There is
no use in blinking the matter longer. We must 60
to york. Idlers and spendthrifts and men unwillin.
to work for the support Of the war, must be made
to shoulder their muskets and go to the field But
we must not only work but economize Our food
and clothing must be made to cost less than hereto
FORE and every effort must be made and that quick
ly, to drive back the immense hordes of Northern
Vandals, who are coming down upon u.s. Let those
who are faint hearted, who indulge in gloomy fore.
bodings as to the future-who discourage and par
aze our efforts by magnifying the strength of the
foe and our own weakness, shut their mouths and
60 to work, take up arrs in defence of the South
Let those who were anxious for the war, who in.
dulged in bravado and gasconade about the weak.
ness of the cnelny,-et not one such man stay from
the field. Above ALL let us make long pull q
strong lull and pull altogether, relying upon the
justice Of our cause and the favor of Heaven.

.-.... Salt. -. - II
We publish below the ordinance passed by the
Convention making provision for the manufacture
Of salt on the sea-coast On Wednesday last Dr..
John N. Worth, of Randolph, was elected Commits
sioner by the Convention. Dr.. Worth is an ener-
getic business man, and those who know him best
are confident that he will make most efficient
Commissioner -
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SALT.
The Committee to whom was referred the resolu.
ton in relation to Salt, have had the same under
consideration, and instructed me to report:
Tha:, though they have no means of ascertaining
the quantity of Salt required or the precise amount
OH hand in the State it is quite certain there is
great deficiency in the supply.
1t is believed by your Committee that something
near five hundred thousand bushels will be required
for the use Of the entire population for one year
while it Is doubtful If more than hundred thou
sand bushels is IN the market, and probably less
than that in private hands. 1t is thought there is
. deficiency of three hundred thousand bushels or
more, and that one-haf of this will be required in
the next six or eight weeks.
The only source from which any part of this de-
ficency can be supplied beyond our own limits, is
at the Washington County Salt Works, near Abing-
don, Va and it is doubtful if one bushel from that
quarter be furnished for ten that is absolutely
necessary. At this establishment about twenty
five hundred bushels is furnished per day; but so
large section Of country is dependent on it, that
no considerable portion Of the deficiency can be ex-
pected from that 1t is true that salt is be-
ing made in the remote portions Of Texas and Ar
kansas, but entirely out of reach of our people.
1t is then certain that we must look to our re.
sources and to the manufacture of it on State &C.
count, on our sea coast and though there s little
being there manufactured and none for SALE enough
has been done to satisfy your Committee that an
abundant supply can there be nade and at cost
| greatly below its present market price.
1t is believed that it can be made and furnished
to consumers for less than two dollars per bushel,
even at this season of the year, by boiling while il
will cost much less in spring and summer seasons
when evaporation by the atmosphere and heat of the
sun can be called to our aid
1t is not believed that individual enterprise can be
relied on to furnish any part of the supply now re
quired owing to the uncertainty to the blockade
| Your Committee, therefore, recommend that pro
vision be made for manufacturing and supplying Il
the people of each county in the State sal: at its
actual cost and to this end, recommend the up
pointment Of a Commissioner, to he charged witt
the whole subject, and recommend the passage o
the accompanying Ordinance.
| All of which Is respectfully submitted.

We haye heard with much astonishment Of the ap-
pointment Of L. OBJ Branch as . Brigadier General
in the Confederate States army. I guess he has
forgotten that when the Raleigh Rifles were formed
he appeared before the company and made speech
Of nearly an hours length. throwing Office 70 the
dogs-announcing that he was among the first 70
bring the war, and that he was going fully into
the fight as prirate in the company he then ad-,
dressed. As soon as the meeting Of the company
adjourned he proceeded to the Court house, whsre
a meeting of the citizens had convened As soon
as he entered the hall, he was called on by the au
dience for speech. He responded to the CALI and
in his remarks he went to tell his listeners about
his volunteering-that he hoped they would 60 and
do as he had done-that he had set them an ex-
ample; (and doubt not but at the same time, he
had commission in his pocket) The sentiment
of all the soldiers that have heard speak Of his ap
pointment, is, "God deliver us from such Generals
