SkLr.-The Richmond Examiner says that state
ments have been made in the Virginia Legislature
from responsible parties going to show that the
Agents of the Confederate Government have bar
gained for an excess of salt at the Virginia Salt
Works, over and above its own wants, at 70 cents
per bushe and then proposes to sell to Virginia at
S25 to $50 per bushel, or to give pound of salt
for pound of bacon; thus encouraging the spirit
of extortion, which Is running the country.

SrBsTTUTEs.-A number of persons have employ
ed substitutes for the war, but many are in doubt
whether that fact releases them from military duty
The enrolling officers ought to be fully prepared to
answer all questions arising on this subject yet
many apply to US for information.
Our opinion is, that if you have employed sub.
stitute for three years during the war, over 40
years of age and he has been received and mustered
into the Confederate service you are exempt from
military duty during that PERIOD e., for three years.
If the war; however, lasts more than three years
from the time you employed him, his term Of SER
vice would be out with you then, and you would
have to go or get another substitute. If you and
your substitute both are however between the ages
of IS and 45, he being subject to military duty in
the Confederate service as well as yourself, you
would be obliged to take his place, furnish an
other substitute over 45 years of age.

The 18th n. c. Regiment.

This regiment suffered severely in the battles of
Middleton and Sharpsburg. We have received no
official report of its losses but gather few facts
from private letter written by member of the
Oak City Guards of this County.
1t is stated that the 14th regiment went into the
fight at Sharpsburg with 375 men. The writer
says at fought all day, and while other regiments
and men were running the 18th stood like Stone
WALL" and repulsed three heavy columns of the
enemy, and would have driven back the fourth, but
their ammunition gave out They were exhausted,
and they were alone and unsupported, and were
Obliged to retreat The next day | carried rations
to the Regiment and found q, men and officers
Noble fellows, they were glad to see Inc. The next
day we had collected 80 men of the immortal 18th,
who had come out unhurt."
He states that COL Bennett Col Parker, and 1t.
Col johnson were wounded of the Brigade, besides
others already reported Capt Freeman missing,
Lieut.. Bevers missing, and Lieut. Mitchell unhurt.
Co. E., Coax City Guards we judge went into the
fight with So, and but two came out unhurt
Many of the missing he does not undertake to &C.
count for. lie gives the following names:
HiAed-Joseph Beddingfeld and s. D. Terrell.
Wounded-John FELTON, and Thomas Norwood.

Sergt S. Lemay was acting Assistant Commissa-
ry, and was not in the fight. Joseph and Shepherd

THE MOVEMENT on MARYLAND.-Our army, it
seems is again on the south side of the Potomac,
and the enemy holds HarperS Ferry and Williams
port in force.
Our losses were very heavy in the late battles
though the enemy's loss was much greater than
ours.
We doubt whether any thing has been gained by
the movement on Maryland 1t is now apparent
that decided majority of the people of that State
are with the North. The same is true we fear, of
Missouri and Kentucky. However desirable it
might be to invade the Northern States, it is by no
means certain that the Confederate Government has
the means to do so, and at the time protect its
own territory. Men-veteran troops especially, are
exceedingly valuable to the South. They should
never be sacrificed in battle except upon the Ger
tainty that great good to the cause will be accom-
plished. A single regiment is as important to the
South as whole brigade is to the North. The
South should make every movement and every blow
tell in this conflict.
