WE are indebted to one of our Obligiug
correspondents for copy of the Rocking
ham Register of December 10th. 1t is pub
lished at Harrisonburg.
The Register is a hard looking old sheet
very brittle and dingy-looking more like
Holmes "Yallah dog" than anything else
We can think of. 1t publishes in full the
new constitution of the State as adopted
by the Richmond Conyeution-the points
of which we gave the other day.
We find very little in the paper of inter-
est. ChNs. P. Chiffon surviving adm inis-
traitor, wants to hire out one hundred and
fifty negroes to somebody we see, from
which we infer that the ebonies are drug
on the market. There is notice from s.
NJ. DOld, Mayor, that FALL slaves and free
negroes found on the streets of Harrison
burg after 10 o'clock at night, will be COM
mitted to jail
D. S. Jones evil give other Virginia
notes in exchange for Wheeling money!
Jones is the second sharp man that we have
noticed in Secessia offering the same thing.
Any number of farms aud houses appear
to be for sale and rent-which looks bad.
Flour is badly wanted by Isaac Paul like
wise barley and white beans by the same
man. A car load of salt has arrived in
Harrisonburg, and it is made the occasion
of an elaborate editorial. Who would ever
have supposed that a sensation article could
be got up on such cheap basis? This is
the article:
SALT.-We learn that a car load
of salt has arrived in Stanton for the Hon.
John I. Harris, who went to the Salt Works
and bought the salt with his own funds, to
be distributed as follows:
He intends to sell it precisely at cost,
and no more. He will give 19 sacks to
the Committee of the soldiers, whose fami-
lilies are are aided by the county Two sacks
will be sent to each magisterial district
and the committees of the several districts
will send for them to this place, to be by
them divided out to such soldiers families
in small quantities, free of charge to them.
| He will set apart q given number of sacks
to be dealt out in small quantities to fam
! lilies in the county, not able to buy largely
| 1or winch they Will pay just what it cost,
The remainder will be given out equally as
he can to those who have not salt to cure
pork enough for family use. No one car
get whose object is to bacon pork and
sell it. The design being to serve as many
as possible for family purposes alone
None need call before middle of next week
1t will be found Mt Mr.. Bruffeys store.
Mr.. Harris, who has visited the Sal
works in Washington and Smythe, speaks
in the highest terms of the accommodating
disposition of the proprietors, and think,
it suicidal in the extreme to think of tax
ing the works out of their hands and en-
trusting them to new agents, appointed BY
the State. He thinks their skill enables
the government to receive more Salt nov
from the Furnace, set apart for that pur
pose, than all the furnaces would make il
new hands. He thinks the price, rs cent
a bushel, reasonable under all the circum
stances of the enhancement of produc
and materials necessary to carry on tn
works. They were paying in cash so
cord, simply for hauling wood when he wa
there, which is some three miles of,
