A Good Move.

The superabundance of Confederate Notes
in circulation. has been the cause of their de-
to some extent, and OF a cores
bonding imitation of the prices of every thing.
No one in the South can distrust the solvency
of Confederate money, for if that is not good,
then no property in the South can possess
value. But the issuer of a currency may De
ever so solvent, yet if he puts too much OF
his paper in circulation, it is sure to fall IN
value. The same is true of gold and silver.
Hence, the small depreciation in Confederate
money has been due, not to a want OF comb
dence in its solvency, but to the superaoun'
dance of it in the hands of the public.
This superabundance has been greatly re-
lieved within a few weeks past, in Richmond,
by a very easy process adopted by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. That process consists
simply in the fact that any holder of Trea-
sury notes, instead of being obliged to go off
and squander them away in the purchase OF
property at ten prices, may take them to the
Treasury and exchange them for call scrip
bearing interest at six per cent. The holder
of notes bearing no interest has the facility
of converting them into interest bearing pa
per of the Government, which he may hold
as long as he chooses, and may then return to
the Treasury and get back notes in exchange.
At first this scrip was given returnable at
any moment ; bat now, to relieve the Gov
eminent of undue labor, it is given redeema'
BILE at call, with interest at any time after
ninety days.
The effect of this simple measure has al
ready been very fine, in relieving the money
market Of q plethora of Treasury notes. W.

adopted, but it certainly has been s~uficien

Daily State Journal.

A week in advance of its contemplated is
sue, the enterprising Editor has issued the
above named Daily in our city. It contains
the Telegraphic news twelve hours in advance
of the Richmond papers and is filled with
the very latest new from every quarter
We are pleased to learn from the Proprietor
that the expense and labor of the publication
has been fully calculated, and that he is con-
fdent of success. We trust the Daily will
be most literally sustained. 1t is not a po-

will soon be in session, the daily proceedings
of which will be obtained through this me-

the county, and has made arrangements for
It's oirect transportation hither. We are
glad to learn that the superintendent Of the
works informs Mr.. Whitaker that ne nm
templates no difficulty whatever in tine re-
moyal OF the salt, the Governor of VIRGINIA
not being likely to interpose any obstacles.
If persons having wagons and teams which
they would hire out, by applying to Mr.. W..
the county agent, they will receive eight
dollars a day, and be sent to the salt works,
where they will be employed in hauling
wood until they have earned enough to paw

works has an abundant supply of corn and
hay for the use of Transfers. If the people
will so vigorously to work, and do it ao,.
there need be no scarcity of salt in North
Carolina Mr.. Whitaker informs us that
this salt, when laid out at the farmers doors
will not cost more than four or flee dollars

The energy and devotion to the interests
of the county which Nj. Whitaker has
thrown into this business, exhibit his genu

A few such men in every county in the State
would be q treasure to the people and the

We would suggest to the magistrates o

Hard Times on New spapers.

Two or three Newspapers in this State
have had to discontinue recently. for want of
sumclent support to meet the hsavy expenses
of publication. The Biblical Recorder, Ra-
leigh Register and Charlotte Democrat have
had to advance their terms from two to three
dollars a year. They have been compelled
to do this, or suspend entirely-two dollars
being found insufficient to pay for the outlay
and labor of publication. The price of Pa
per and Printing Ink have increased prodig.
iously, J~ourneymen's wages have also in
creased considerably, and every thing else
used about a printing Office. These things
being SO, the price of all Newspapers must
be raised, or their Proprieters will lose mon
ely.
We have discontinued our club rates and
now require all to pay what has always been
the price to single subscribers. viz: $l.50 a
year. We could not afford the paper for
less-its actual cost to US being over 81 a
year, and yet there is one man who wants
the paper for that small sum, for we have
received but one single complaint from oar
subscribers, to their credit be it said. Some

Nashville, were brilliant in themselves and
highly creditable TO the officers in command,
but in their effect upon the general cam
paign, they served but little other purpose
than to give warning to the enemy of the
danger of Buell., and to hasten the prepare
tons for his reinforcement. After full time
had been given to allow ample reinforcements
to be sent to Louisville, and forwarded on the
line to Buell., then General Bragg began to
move. The grand object of his strategy be-
ing to get to Louisville and penetrate the
base of Buells operations, he fould it neces-
saryr as the result of his combinations, to
make at last a rapid march upon that city
to interpose himself between that general and
the new troops pouring in from north of the
Ohio but Buell. beat him in the race, and
the whole object of the campaign was thus
thwarted and defeated. Bragg then had no
other alternative, confronted as he ound him.
self by superior numbers, than to fall back.
This he has done, and it is greatly to be
feared that he has taken a route of retreat
that will afford very little local subsistence for
his army. The very fact that he has taken
the route leading to Cum berland Gap, would
seem to argue that he was for ced into it and
was hard pressed by the enemy.
There is this encouraging feature, however,
in our affairs in the West, that whatever
may be the deficiencies of our Generals in
that quarter, our armies are in good condi-
ton for efficient service. This is not only
the case with the army in Southern Ken

Bragg, which has not yet fought q general
engagement, but is also the case with the

For three weeks past a revival of Religion
has been in progress in the Methodist Con-
gregation in this city, and the interest seems
to be increasing instead of abating. The
Pastor, Rev. John s.. Long, breaches every
night to crowded congregations. Nearly a
hundred have protested conversion, and ful>
ly half that number of Penitents present
themselves nightly at the Altar of Prayer
1t surely is a great and glorious work, such
as was never before seen in this community.
May God continue the blessed influences of
His Spirit, "until all shall know the Lord,
from the least to the greatest"

OFFICERS TO BE DRoPPED.-CQl. Alfred

fishes a letter in the Wilmington Journal.
stating that Gen. D. II. Hill has called for
the names of all officers who have been alb
sent from their regiments for an unusual
length of time, in order that they may be
recommended to be dropped. Several names
have been sent in from the 4eth N. G.. v.
and more will be forwarded if the officers
now absent do not report in a satisfactory
manner Immediately. Charges are to be pre-.
ferred against all soldiers who cannot furnish
full and complete testimony for the necessity
of their continued absence.
Col. Iverson says: EVERY one in the ar.

were able to come to us from home had been
present, the battle of S~harpsburg would have
resulted in a decisive victory for us, and our
troops before this would have overrun Mary.

of a new pattern, made in Paris expressly
for jackson. The pistol is a revolver, navy

LIEUTENANT GENERALs.-The list of Lieu
tenant Generals appointed by the President.
published in our last, was incorrect. The
following are the appointees, viz: Major
Generals Jackson, Longstreet, Polk, Hardee.
Pemberton, Kirby Smith and Holmes.
Every body wonders why President Davis
overlooked the superior claims of Major Gen.
erals Price and the tive Hills, who next to
Jackson have done more successful fighting
than any other Generals in the service. We
fear the President is incapable of rising above
his ~prejudices and partialities in making his
appointments.
