proportion has great merit in it; and the

full and complete, that he who runs may

Just Remark.

The Indianapolis Journal, commenting
on the restrictions on publishing military
news, which operates very unequally, in
different localities, very justly remarks
Washington papers publish freely
and regularly what correspondents are
prohibited from sending by telegraph,
and furious rows are raised over the inn
prudent babbling of New York papers,
while those of Washington chatter army
secrets without disturbance. Letushave
consistency, and justice in this business,
or have done with it,"
No sensible loyal editor will object to
the prohibition TO publish news which
would be advantageous to the enemy, but
he has right to complain, if his rival,
at another point, is permitted to publish
the same news that he is ordered to sup
press This is gross Partially.

THE MANUFACTURE OF IRON ARMoB
PLATEs.-The people of the United
States generally have but little idea, we
imagine, of the fact that Baltimore sup
plies nearly all the armor plates for the
new marine monsters coming into use,
and which are destined undoubtedly
quite to revolutionize naval warfare. Al
though the ships themselves are built in
the Northern ports, yet it so happens
that our own city has the only rolling
mill competent to the stupendous UNDER
taking of preparing the armor- pilates, a
fact the more creditable TO that private
enterprise which provided it in time to
meet the acquisitions of an era like the
Observation-Disclosures Patriot.

The Non. Intercourse Order not En-
fOrced-M Mississippi Cotton Policy.

torced-M mississippi Cotton Policy.
From the Memphis Bulletin, November %
We learn that Notwithstanding tho is
suance of orders from the authorities in
Mississippi enioining the strongest non
interference between Dixie and Memphis,
the people in want of supplies continue
TO run the blockade and come through
A gentleman from fernando assures us
that all was quiet in that neighborhood.
Nothing was known there of the move
ments of either army.
About Nonconnah there is cavalry
corps, which acts as a sort Of police to
'gobble up" conscripts, and prevent cot
ton coming through.
Inorder TO reconcile the people of
Mississippi to the disadvantages under
which they viii labor as to the sale of
their cotton, the agents of the Confede-
rate Government are going round buying
it, paying for it bonds OF the Confcde-
rate Government bearing eight per cent,
per annum. The Coniederates seem to
have learned lesson since they gave up
Memphis. Here every mans cotton was
to be burned. Patriotism required it,.
Ia Mississippi, however, the Government
buys il M and moves it TO a place of Sc
curity.
1t is understood that all persons living
in Memphis and who claim this as their
home, will be permitted to return here
by the military authorities at the South.
All others will be required to remain in
Dixie until the end of the war.
The Oonfederates have another policy
as to cotton in Arkansas. They have
not only burned all the old crop of cot
ton of last year, but they have just issu-
ed an order to burn all the new cotton
crop this side of White River The con-
sequence is, the Confederate soldiers are
now employed in applying the torch to
all the cotton they can find. We learn
that one gentleman, having new crop OF
two hundred and fifty bales, had all de-
stroyed except fifty bales.
Others are not faring so well. In this
way the ConledeNtes are doing them
selves and their friends all the harm they
can. Let them % on.

Poor Price Pitilessly Prosecuted.


The correspondent of the Mobile Reg
lister writes as follows:
learn that we have lost most val
liable officer in the district of Tennessee,
in the resign alton of Major Thomas &.
Snead,. Gen. Prices Chief of Staff. The
cause of the Majors resignation is said
to be the manner in which Gen. Price
and his command have been treated since
their timely arrival at Corinth.
The latest cause of complaint is that
Gen. Bragg assigned to Gen. Price one
third of the exchanged prisoners which
were TO arrive at Vicksburg, Gen. Price
sent DIR. Blackburn, of his staff, to Rich
mond to procure arms for these troops,
and his indefatigable efforts proved sue
cessful The arms were brought here to
await the arrival of the men; but du-
ring Gen. Prices absence with his army
at Iuka, Gen. Van Dorm had the arms
removed to Jackson and armed his quota
of troops with them, leaving Price with
out arms for the new members of his
command.
The disregard shown him by Presi-
dent Davis, when at Richmond, has
taught the pets of the President to emu
late his example. 1t is time that the
people knew these facts, and, on our part,
it is not through disposition to wran-
gle and bicker, but with a hope to bring
these things before their eyes, and have
justice done to a justly fayorite officer of
the Confederate States army Since
General Prices arrival in Mississippi,
the Con(ederacy has once nearly lost his
services, and if inattention and such
persecution as heretofore attended his
efforts continue, the people may next
hear that they have lost jewel Of price
less value.

TOBACCO IN ILLINOIS, The Vincennes
Sun is surprised at the breadth of tobac-
co planted in Illinois. There cannot be
less than $4,000 acres in addition to the
usual crop, which is as much more, for
some counties on the Ohio have rOised il
many years. 1t will average a full crop
perhaps more = On good ground, and
with careful culture, there will often be
1000 pounds cured tobacco to the acre.
Gen. Sumner ranks next to Burnside,
and in csse of the absence or incapacity
of the latter, would have command of

The war seems to stimulate rather
than retard railroad improvements
There are no less than four railroads in
progress in Pennsylvania, forming vari-
GUS connections with New York and
Philadelphia, and the West. The strug-
gle between the two cities is quite ami
mated, TO see which shall command the
Western trade.

balls and chains, as they marched to the
to work.

Death of a Nephew of JEFF. Davis,


A correspondent of the Mobile Register,
writing some incidents of the battle Of
Corinth, gives the following:
"At Davis Bridge, on Sunday, the ac-
complished and gallant Balfour, Of Gen.
Van Dorn's staff, was fatally wounded.
He was observed TO turn deathly pale, and
dismount cautiously from his horse. He
was asked IL he was injured, and replied
in the negative. He then walked 20 the
shady side of house, fell in reclining
position, and drew his revolver. He had
been mortally wounded, a Mimic ball
passing through his bowels; but with full
sense Of his injury, he coolly resigned
himself to his fate, endeayoring to at
tract IS littleattention and create as little
alarm as possible. He died few hours
after receiving his wound, with unsur-
passed GOODNESS and resignation. Major
Balfour was a member of one of the most
wealthy and influential families of this
State, was the nephew of President Davis,
and the pride and hope of his family.
He was a gentleman of excellent educa-
ton, high polish, and was an encycope-
dia of general information obtained by
stndy and travel"
