Salt for the People

The following is.of great impor-
lance to all this section Of country.
The County Courts of the various
counties will, of course, act speedi-
ly in the matter, if they have not
already done So
SALT FOR TIE PEoPLE.-Under
a contract by the Governor of
Tennessee with parties at Saltviile,
Va, five hundred bushels of salt
are being made daily for the use of
the people of this State, which is

the counties, within our lines, ac-
cording to the population aud their
necessities. The salt will be de-
livered in bulk to agents appointed

the nearest lines of Railroad to be

which have not appointed such a.
gents will Apo - them without de-
lay. The dist ,ution Of Salt will be

Agents, who will be responsible
for the manner of the same. The

Providing for Soldiers Families

The 18th and 10th Districts
have set an example that the
whole of this county ought to i'm
itate. Nearly enough leather for.
shoes, cotton for weaving, and
meat, besides about two hundred
and fifty dollars in money, has
been raised for the benefit of indi-
gent families of soldiers. This
move deserves and will receive the
hearty approval of every good citi-
zen. Soldiers are justly indignant
at the idea Of their having to UNI
dergo' privations, and to fight the
battles of the country, for eleven
dollars per month, willie men who
were formerly their neighbors are
staying at home and devoting the
whole of their energies to the
making Of money by placing the
necessaries Of life at extortionate
figures, regardless of the wants Of
soldiers families and their friends.
No one can censure soldiers for be-
ing dissatisfied with such a state
of affairs, nor will the mass of the
community pass heavy sentence
when the extortioners receive their
punishment at the hands of our
enraged soldiery.
We are gratified to believe that
the 18th and 10th Districts are
acting in such a manner as to re-
ceiye the hearty endorsement and
best wishes of our patriotic soldiers
and citizens. We trust that the
course they are pursuing will be
adopted everywhere, and that lib
eral contributions for so, worthy a
cause will be the rule and not the
exception.

The Battle of fredericksburg

A gentleman who was in the
engagement, and has just returned
to this county, says the victory
gained by the South, was even
more decisive than we have been
led to believe, though it cost some
precious blood. lie says that
I.innt, Mcclure, of Millville, and
Anus 5. small, OF this county ,
were killed. Col. Turney was
badly wounded, the ball entering
his upper lip and passing out at
the back of his neck. Lieut.. Col.
n. J. George, Maj. Felix G.. Buc-
hanan, and Privates Marion Hill
and John I. Cathy were each slight
ly wounded. All were brave men
apd noble soldiers. No one else
from this county hurt, it is said.

Trouble Ahead

A gentleman in the army writes
to us as follows
z "Will you print in the Observer
a list of the Confederate money
shavers and the jeans, linsey, socks,
gloves, and other extortioners in
Lincoln county, men and women,
if the names of the parties are
furnished by responsible persons
in camps, who will shoulder all the
responsibility of the publication,
over their own signatures?"
We do not think the publication
advisable-at least, not at present.
There may be persons who have
surrendered, thoughtlessly, to the
desire for extortionate prices that
is SO very prevalent, but who will
hereafter act as patriotic, christian
people should; and if such is their
intention, they may yet alleviate
much distress, and ought to have
an opportunity of doing so.
Another friend writes
"Thers are families in Lincoln
county now that, if the war was
to end today, would not have a
shelter over their heads in two
weeks
We are sorry to know that there
is such a feeling in the army; yet
it is no more than what might be
expected as consequence Of the
way in which soldiers and their
friends have been extorted upon
and soldiers families neglected.

CAMP NEAR FREDERICKSBURG, VA
Dec. 4, 1862. {
Nr. ". 0. Wallace:
DEAR SlR-We are near the en-
envy. We have performed one Of
the greatest marches on record
stone.wall Jackson's co.ps have left
the Winchester valley, and are en-
eamped within eight miles of
Fredericksburg Gen. A. P. Hills
Division left the neighborhood of
Winchester the ODD ult., and ar
rived at this point yesterday eve
ming, the Sd Of December. The
army was twelve days marching,
beforeit ceased. Wecame through
the counties of Clark, Frederick,
Shenandoah, Page. and Louisa, to
this point. The army had a turn
pike most Of the way. One of
the most majestic sights | ever
saw was the valley of the Blue
Ridge. The turnpike runs zig
gag course up the R:dge-in fact,
it is built upon the ''benches" of the
Notwithstanding first one way
and then another, it resembles vast
steps, like the stairs of some mon
umental edifice reaching to the
clear blue sky. General Archer's
Brigade was from 9 o'clock A. dun
til | P. NJ, making the ascent-a
distance Of about 3 miles. As
cending the mountain, you come,
at times, within couple Of hum
dred yards Of some other Brigade
coming up after you, while they
have to march perhaps two miles
before they come to the precise
iispot'where you stand. All this is
owing to the circuitous route the
pike runs. Imagine the scene!-
You defile slowly along the pike
You ascend one .'bench," then
turn square off to another going
up slowly ali the while. Ever and
anon you hear the music in front
of the Brigade, far away-np-
near directly over your head; while
far, depths below, you see the men,
wagons, and horses winding along
/ the sides of the mountain like a
huge serpent. The valley lay
spread like a map below-two
beautiful villages could be seen
with their spires of snow glister-
ing beautifully yet calmly in the
Autumn sun! The villages are
called Mt. jackson and New Mar
ket. From the valley the top of
the blue, misty mountain could be
seen capped with snow, But e.
nough Of this! Col. Tulney's Reg
iment is in fine health-all tie
boys endured the march first-rate.
We are lying on. the ground, the
cold frozen ground-we are march
ing almost daily-we are living
upon beef and four-we are fight
ing numerous enemy and defeat
ing him in every engagement
Who, but sons of liberty, could or
would endure all this? But, thank
God! we know that while we are
fighting for the rights of heaven,
our homes and liberty, we have
those at home who are sending up
matin hymns and vesper songs for
our sakes, and that makes hard
ships fun-that causes us to en-
dure the loss of friends, home, and
all the endearments of life. We
will conquer, we will obtain our.
independence-for our cause is
just. Gen. Burnside commands
the Yanks near Fredericksburg.

pahannock and the Yanks are up
