The sxcessive prices charged for leather IN this
state are being fslt the more kesny as winter ,p-
pro.shes The government finds it 80 diiheult to
procure the article for the army, and the prices bs.
ing too exorbtant we understand it has instructed
the Quarter Masters Department to pay 81 per
pound for sole leather, $l,a5 for harness leather,
and 81 so for upper for shoes, and no more If the
veoes and tanners refuse to take those prices the
order is to impress it for the nss Of the
at those prices. = - l. -.
Now it appears to US, If the price for heather xed
by the government be fair remunerating price to
the tanner or vender, in these times, and We believe
it is generally thought So and if it be right for the
government to pay no more is it just for the public
equally needy, and thousands far less able to pay,
to be compelled to pay the higher prices which are
charged for it! Common sense md justice answer,
Mol -.
But why should the government exact this Of the
tanners and vendsrs Of leather and not snforcs the
same rule upon all venders of articles of prime ne
cesslty! Every consideration of sound policy sad
justice demand that tanners should bs placed upon
the same footing with all other producers of articles
which the government and the public must have
The extortion in leather is not greater, perhaps,
than it is IN many other articles; and if it be just
and right to fix price for leather and if the gov
ernment has the constitutional right to put tanners
under the ban, why in the name of justice are not
all others placed upon the same footingi

Our Eastern Counties.


The Counties of Currituck, Camden. Pasouotank,
Perquimans, Chowan, Gates Washington, TyrrelL
Beaufort Hyde, Craven and Carteret, embracing
tne nnest corn country in the South and containing
one-fth OF the negro population of the State have
been for months completely at the mercy of the en-
emy Besides these, he has made occasional raids
upon Hertford, Bertie Martin, Pitt Lenoir, Jones
and Onslow counties, nearly equal in productive
ness, and with large negro population. 1t is es-
tlmated that the enemy has had in his possession
at Beaufort, Newbern, Washington and Roanoke
Island from Is to 20O 900 negroes, mostly men, from
those Counties. who in any event. are almost dead
loss to their owners.
Ii seems now to be generally believed, that sys-
tematlc plan of stealing negroes has been naugura-
ted 5y Yankees not connected with the army; and
that steamers are employed in running regularly
from Norfolk and other points, to Cuba and South
America, carrying cargoes of negroes thither for
sale. The government should investigate this mat
ter, and if found out to be true the most summary
measures should be adopted to put stop to it.
Professions of kind treatment from the Yankees
to the non-combatant people of that region, have
to sleep; and the great difficulty and expense of
removing their movable means, have led many of
best citizens to remain for the protection of their
property. Many, no doubt have concluded to re.
main, relying upon the ability and purpose of the
government to rid them of the detestable Yankees.
AS yet the government has manifested no such pur-
pose. Whether our own troops which have beenquar-
tered near them, have afforded them much protection,
is very questionable. Indeed, it is said, our own
forces have contributed good deal towards the
wasting Of the substance Of our people in some Sec
tions, leading many to believe they could not have
been much more worsted, even by the Yankees
themselves.
We believe that the troops Of our State, which
can well be spared at this time, if placed under the
control of competent fighting officers, are amply
sufficient to rid all Eastern Counties of the ene-
my in few weeks, at least so far as to enable our
people there to effect their escape with their nova
bic property from that section If this be not done
by the first of December We fear it will be too late
until the end of the war to relieve them We Judge
Of the future by thepast Will not the government
do something for our suffering people? Humanity
and justice alike demand il.
Since writing the above, we have been highly
gratifed to learn that the government at Richmond
is not unmndful of the suffering condition of our
people in Eastern Virginia and North Carolina
Our Eastern people may be assured that the day of
their deliverance draws nigh Let them stand firm
to their principles and to the Confederacy. We
not at liberty to say more.

Counterfeit Confederate Notes.

fWc learn that the recent discovery that the Con-
ederate bills had been largely counterfeted by the
Yankees, and the announcement by the Secretary
of the Treasury that bills of the denomina-
ton Of pos, SOS and zoos would be issued from
the plates dated September I'd, 1861, and that he
should call in all the old issue, have caused many
persons to refuse TO receive those bills. This is
wrong. 1t is an easy matter to detect the counter
feits We gave good description Of them in our
last weekly. Let the genuine notes be circulated
as freely as before, and not withdrawn, except in
the ordinary course of trade, until the new issue
supplies their place. Confidence in Confederate
money is an important item in our success in car
rying on this war, and nothing should be done to
affect that confidence injuriously. To assist our
readers in detecting counterfeit Confederate notes.
we give description of them from the Richmond
Enquirer, slightly different from the one which ap-
peared in the semi weekly Standard of Aug 9th:
"In the HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS, the sailor the lower
left corner Of the genuine notes black belt, with
the buckle upon it DISTINCT in the counterfeit bills,
the belt is white and the buckle plainly In the
centre picture the mule attached to the cotton press

counterfeit and presents his head to the front; in the
counterfeit he changes his base, and presents side
vew On he gronno between the sailor s!ee IN 'he gen.
uine broken stone-a separate by it, in the coun
erfet there three separate stones the centre
smaller than the others. At the upper right corner of
genuine notes. the white ground appears through the sha
ding ofthe medallion work in the counterfeit the entire
work is dark. This will suffice for the hundreds.
In the FIFTY DOLLAR several white spots appear
just the figures fifty, in the medallion work at the up
per right of the genuine bs there none in the
counterfeit The outside of this medallion work in the
counterfeit is covered by running network in the gem
une there In front Of and attached to the chest
in the centre picture of the genuine note there is pad

the head of the in the lower left of the
bills is nearly bald little hair combed down smoothly
on the right temples in the counterfeit bills full head OF
hair is represented, the hair the right temple being
slightly dshevelled as if blown by puff of wind:
TWENTY DOLLAR B1LLs.-In the counterfeit bills, the
figure the right sde is cut by fine line, entirely
separating the tail Of the figure from the main body OF
in the genuine the figure is perfect In the genuine bills

prisoners were captured on board of them.

FARMERS, have you saved your seed
corn? If not, do it at once Go into
your field and pick the largest, ripest
ears and trace them up and put them
where they will dry, thoroughly, before
they freeze. Place them over the stove,
or in the loft There IS no danger of
getting them in too warm place, if it is
dry. Attend to this now and you will
not be troubled with replantiug next
spring. Neglect it, and-you know
what the result will be.

iSPKiNGDALE, sept -11, tSGE.
The time is drawing near Tor the Coun
ty Fair, and it seen necessary that the
community should turn their attention
for short time from thc all absorbing
topic of the Nation and its armies, par
TALLY at least, and consider the interest
Of the agriculturist and mechanic. Al
though the public mind is SO much en-
crossed and diverted from the producing
elements of the country; yet there never
was time in the history OF our country
when the combined 'aIcus Of the produc
ers should be used with economy and ap-
piled to tie b,s possible advantage with
more carncstncs> than the present We
have not offered any GREAT inducements
BY way Of Ergc premiums, but our OBJ
iect in preparing the Premium List was
to offer such as would benefit the masses
aud not give all to few fast horse and
fancy stock acn, who do but very little
else but attend fairs and take all the best
premiums We do not expect to make
as large display as some more central
location, but We shall endeavor to make
it profit .ble and interesting for all who
take an interest and try to make it SO.
Particular attention will be paid to
those coming from a distance, to make
them comfortable as the circumstances
of the location will admit

merits | do not think proper to discuss
at this time, as it would be impossible to

cooperate with others whenever they
saw fit to take hold Of the work; but as
