A Substitute for Shoes.

Au old and experienced citizen has called our
attention the subject of the use of cowhide moe
casins as substitute for shoes In Mississip
pi, fifty years ago, no snoes were to be had
for the negroes, and they made their own out
OF this material, which answered the purpose as
we'll as the more elaborately made article, and
in some respects better. The process is simple:
take green cowhide, or one we'll soaked. with
the hair n-which is to go next to the foot sput
the foot down firmly" upon it, and cut out the
pattern desired, make the necessary holes along
the edges, and lace in with thong of the same
material at the heel and up the instep. Let it
dry upon the foot, and it accommodates itself
perfectly to the shape of the latter, while it is
sufficiently substantial for all kinds of travelling
and its elasticity is preserved bv USE Socks
should be put when it is made, though it can
De worn without, and such allowance be made
for shrinking as to avoid too tight fit The
moccasin, it is scarcely necessary to observe,
aoapts itself to the shape of the foot, and the
ht IS perfect. 1T outwears leather, and is not
hard, as some might suppose, but quite the re-
verse. 1t desired, it cah be half soIed with the
same material. The hair lining gives the ad-
vantage of warmth, 80 that socks, when not to
be had. can be better dispensed with when moe
casins are used than if shoes were worn.
lhe gentleman to whom are indebted for
this suggestion says that he has mentioned the
subject to soldiers, who very much pleased
with 1T and say there is no reason why soldiers
should go barefoot while so many hides are
thrown away in camps.
We think the idea valuable one. and
would be glad that every newspaper in the Con
federacy would lend its aid in giving it circu
laton.-Mobile Register.

Feeding The Army.

We have seen it recently statedsin one.
OF our exchanges that in the counties in
North Carolina, east of the Wilmington
| and NJ eldon railroad, there are provisions.
enough now on hand to subsist an army
for six months. IF this be SO it becomes,
avery important matter to secure SO large
supply of meat and grain whilst it is,
accessible to u.s. That part of North Car
olina, abounding in the articles of food.
is exposed to the marauding expeditions
Of the enemy on the coast, and the Gov.
ernInent ought, in anticipation of such
movements, to take timely and vigorous
steps to place SO large quantity OF So
sistence out of danger. We lost immens
ly in this way by the enemy's occupation
of Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds, and it
is to be hoped that dearly bought expe-
rlence will dictate for the balance of the
war the policy OF providing seasonably
against all such injurious conting gencies,
which can easily be prevented by remov>
ing from districts threatened with hostile
incursions every pound of meat, grain
and provencer which can be spared by the
people from their own necessary consump
ton. One Of the grand requisites for
the success Of our arms is suficiency of
meat and bread for the soldiers. We can

lose any more of these invaluble commod-
tiles, and the course Of the Government
should be to look we'll to the productive
counties of every State that are liable to
Yankee inroads and gather them up and
remove to places of safety all the bacon,
live stock, corn, oats, hay, &c, that cam
be procured, and store them away for fp-
ture use. None should be left for the
plundering foe.
In the region of North Carolina to which
we refer, the facilities for removing the
surplus provisions now said to be in it, are
such as to leave no excuse for their being
left to fall into the hands of the enemy, Or
for their remaining exposed even to the
possibility Of being thus lost to our army
The Wilmington and Weldon railroad
skirts it for 100 miles, and by its connec-
tions With the vast interior, West, South
west and North of it, affords abundant
security for such surplus if taken away in
time. s5sss9Esl q %s

AS the matter is no longer secret, there can
be no impropriety in. our stating, that the adj

rout for Petersburg, and will be here in day or
two. This division has obtained reputation in
this war for fighting qualities, of which even the
veterans Of Napoleon would have been proud
They come with well filled ranks, and all the men
we hear, in splendid condition for trial of
strength with the enemy, should an opportunity
offer. They leave the army of the Potomac only
because there is more men up there than Gen.
Lee well knows what to do with, and the with,
drawal OF Gen. Longstreet's division does not at
all endanger the cause should Mcclellan ad-
