more, and that one-half Of this will be required in
the next six or eight weeks. -...--
The only source from which any part Of this de
ficicncy can be supplied beyond our own limits, is
at the Washington County Salt Works, near Abing.
don, Va and It is doubtful il 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 be ex-
pectet from that Ii 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 ac-
count, on our sea coast and though there is little
being there manufactured and none for sale, enough
has been done to satisfy your Committee that an
abundant supply can there be made, and at a 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 bushcl,
even at this season of the year, by boiling. while it
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 ....
II is not believed that individual enterprise be
relied on to furnish any part of the supply now re-
CURED owing to the uncertainty to the blockade.
Your Committee, therefore, recommend that pro-
vision be made for manufacturing and supplying to
the people of each county in the State sal; at its
actual cost; and to this end, recommend the ap-
pointment of Commissioner, to be charged with
the whole subject, and recommend the passage OF
the accompanying Ordinance.
All Of which Is respectfully submitted.

Objectionable, ask small space in your paper to-

Our regiment is still near SmitAfe!d. We have
finished our winter quarters, and well salts
fed and as comfortable as any regiment OF men can
wish to be. Since we have got i'll our quarters the
camp has been changed from Camp Bee to Fort Bee.
Two companies the Raleigh Rifles and Cleaveland
Blues have been quartered at the Bay for the win

the camp is called Fort Ellen in honor of Colonel
Daniels estinable lady. The two companies are
under the command of Maj. Faison.

he appeared before the company and made speech
of nearly an hours length, throwing office to the
dogs announcing that he was among the first to
bring on the war and that he was going fully into
the fight as a Prirdte in the company he then ad-
dressed As soon as the meeting of the company
adjourned, he proceeded to the Courthouse, where
a meeting of the citizens had convened As soon
as he entered the hail. he was called on by the au-

in his remarks he went on to tell his listeners about
his vounteering-th he hoped they would go and
do as he had done-that he had set them an ex-
ample land doubt not but at the same time, he
had commission in his pOcket) The sentiment

REPORT OF TIE COMMITTEE ON SALT.
The Committee 10 whom referred the resolu

consideration, and instructed me to report:
Tha', though they have no means of ascertaining
the quantity Of Salt required the precise amount
on hand in the State, it is quite certain there is
great deficiency in the supply.
1t is believed 10y your Committee that something
near five hundred thousand bushels will be required
for the Of the entire population for one year.
while it is doubtful if than one 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

The South has work to do-hard work, TO carry
her successfully and trinmphanty through this war.
Our men who able TO bear arms, must not hest
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
tie! ance of our liberties and our rights. Our SOL
ders liz the field must be clothed aud fed and sup
ported by those who stay at home Men of pro-
perty must not hold back 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 go at it with a true heart and will There is
no use n'bnkng the matter longer. We must go
to cork. Idlers and spendthrifts and men unwilling
to work for the support of the war, must be made
to shoulder their muSkets and so 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 us. Let those
who are faint hearted, who indulge in gloomy fore.
holdings as to the future-who discourage and par
alZe efforts by magnifying the strength of the
foe and our own weakness, shut their mouths and
go to work, or take up 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 enemy,-let not one such man stay from
the field. Above all let US make long pull a
strong lull and pull altogether, relying upon the
