Whiskey and the War.

The cheek grows pale as each mail brings
news from the seat of war. The humane
heart shrinks as the story is told of thou
sands of brave men falling on the CORY field
before the iron hail of the enemy, and the
sympathy escapes the lips when the suffer
ings of an encanped host, by sickness and
cold, is pictured. War is truly a mammoth
scourge; because the victims are seen with
ing in blood on the field, all men deplore its
evil consequences. But the war exists in
other places than Corinth, and the Shiloh bat
tie field is not the only plain strcwn with
the dead.
Whiskey and its Allied powers is prosecu-
ting a more deadly warfare than our Yankee
adversary. The Prince of the whiskey bot
tie encanps his minions and ~vassals on eve-
~ plain, and bis hirelings strike a deadly
blow at every home in the land. Each proud
city and humble hamlet is made q besieged
Fort, and the "dead list" IS recokoned with
each days sunlight in a temple of blood
The rum demon chuckles with a devilish de-
light as the news comes to him in his temple
of human bones, that thousands are daily
falling before his power. With q shout Of
triumph be urges on new conqnests and
waves his bIood-stained plume as hehears d
brave men falling before him aud feeble wo.
men weeping over the slain. He revels in
human woe. His mission is to conquer 9
world and damn the human family to dishon
orable graves. And yet nc general cry Q
vengeance is raised against this bold invader
His sword is more terrible than that cleaning
in the sunlight Of the Peninsula, and BIZ
iron hail more deadly than that which wa
rained against the devoted walls of Fort Pu-
laski-and yet We slumher on

Eyading the Law.

The long day Of grace given to the Distil-
leries by our State Convention, expired on
Tuesday last, but Notwithstanding the great
length of time they had to operate IN, We
have heard that many are unwilling even
yet to suspend their destructive business,
and are preparing to continue under a sub
terfuge or evasion of the law, by making AZ
cohol instead of Whiskeyl Corn and wheat,
so much needed for the support of man and
beast, and which are already bringing famine
prices, are still to be consumed by the pro
duction of Intoxicating drinks under the
name of AIcelol-which means four barrels
of whiskey for every one of Alcohol. The
Convention win be in session in a day or
two, and we call attention to the matter, in
order that the subterfuge anticipated may be
prevented. We learn, also, that. the Distil-
lers are buying up Oats, with which still to
continue distilling. This should also be
put a stop to. Every bushel Of oats thus
consumed, compels a like amount Of corn to
be substited for the support of the horses in
the army and in the country, and thus works
as much mischief as if the corn itself was
distilled. We hope the Convention will
promptly take the matter in hand, and put
a total and complete estoppel to d~istilling
Alcohol or any thing else, no matter of what
made.

Merit III Accounts.

The Northern papers claim a great victory
in the battles at Shiloh and Corinth, although
they admit the loss of from twenty to TWEEN
tY-three thousand in killed, wounded and
taken prisoners, including many field officers.
They admit that Gen. Buell. was mortally
wounded, and that Gems. Thos. L. Critten-
den, Sherman and the two Wallaces were
killed. Butin order to make out the great
victory they claim, they say the Confeder-
ate loss was from thirty-6ye to forty thousand,
that Gen. B~eauregard was killed or terribly
wounded, and various other disasters to our
side are claimed, which did not occur. In
view Of the great federal victory, the Con-
gress at Washington has appointed the Oath
as. a day of thanksgiving therefor. Let them
rejoice the South will never put on sack
cloth for such defeats as we received at
these battles.
The Northern papers also say that a great
struggle at Yorktown is at hand. Mcclellan
is soon to. be rewarded by the capture of
Richmond and the whole rebel Cabinet and
Congress. The drama is soon to close. in a
bloody tragedy, surprising in grandeur all
other victories.
Savannah is to be besieged in a few days.

~ While the churches all over the
country are contributing theT Bells to the
government to be converted into cannon, we
have not heard Of the first Distiller offering his
stills for a like patriotic purpose. This is a
significant fact and should be remembered.
There are hundreds of thousands of pounds
of copper in the shape of Stills-the. govern
ment and the army and the country need
this metal-but the avaricious owners refuse
to give them up. Has not the government
as much right to seize them, as it has to take
the only gun a man has to protect himself
and family Surely there is ten thousand
times more reason and propriety in the for
mer than the latter. Let the Stills be seized
and converted into cannon to be turned against
our enemies, instead of manufacturing poison
with which to kill our brave soldie S, and
bring woe and desolation upon sur country
men.

The Conservation Act.

We give in another column the Act iust
passed by Congress for filling up and keeping
filled the ranks Of the Confederate Army
From what We had previously heard of its
provisions, we were disposed to regard the
measure odious, unjust and tyrannical but
upon examining it's provisions, we do not
find the great monstrosity it has been rep
resented. 1t is true some of it's features NAV
bear hardly upon some, but this is no time
to complain OF hardshipS when we all have
to endure them. By those whose business
it is to look to the proper defence of the coun-
try, aud by the representatives of the People
in Congress unanimously, save too, such a
measure is considered essential, and we have
no doubt that the People viii give the law a
loyal adhesion and support. Our readers
viii, we think, fail to find the great bug-bear
in the Act that it has been represented to
contain.

SIR: The inquiry which you made respecting the
value of the brine which has been employed for pre-
serving meat. is important at this time. Old brine
will contain q large proportion of the salt used. and it

the quantity of brine.by evaporation until a pelicle of
fine salt forms upon the surface. 1t may now be set
