WOODEN SOLE Substitutes offsprings Of necessity
are thus highly commended by the Mobile Register and
Advertiser:
We learn that the Georgia made shoes with double
maple soles are in very good demand Several plant
ers have been testing their merits and the result has
in all cases proved favorable. In immediate
vicinity or what might properly be called ''the army
of Mobile thew have been tried and the report is so
favorable hatonly few days ago additional lot was
ordered. We have no hesitation in saying that they
will prove an excellent marching shoe. Some other
article might better suit tie doublequiek movement,
but for an aday lick they will prove less fatigung
than more elastic shoe Besides the foot is less la
bic to heat in them no matter what kind of sock is
worn, or even should the soldier find himself without
any One thing we must say--though that will not
diminish their value among our boys-theyll never do
to run away in indeed, they southern shoe, and
not DESIGNED for that kind of service.

FFoM The CARoLIyA CoAsT.-The Savannah News,o
the both inst referring to the rumored departure Of
the federal feet from the Carolina coast says: In our
issue Of Saturday published dispatch, stating that
the yankee war vessels had all left Port Royal The
Charleston papers Of Saturday contain the same state
ment The reported departure Of the feet from the
Carolina coast caused considerable speculation to their
probable destination some suppo-ng that the yankees
had determined try their chances further south From
the following extract from private letter to- gentleman
in this city, from reliable source it Will he that
the feet are still in Broad river. The writer says:
This evening pickets report about forty Or fifty
vessels few miles from Gregogie's house. Whathey
design to DO is all conjecture. They may have been
driven higher uf than usual BY the recent bad weather
or the vessels may bea portion Of the Burnside feet #
So they may land points, Gregore's house and
Boyds at Bolan's hall, and then advance to take
the railroad But do not believe they viii march far
from under cover Of their guns, unless they have an
Overwhelming force If they do not land in large
bers We will have time send force sufficient to drive
them back to their vessels with the bayonet which will
be freely used

The STAY Law.

We have heard much discussion, pro- and con-, up
on the merits of this important bill. Some condemn
it in toto; others condemn it in part-some admit i
necessary evil Others think that it will prove the
salvation of our people.
The bill may freely admit be viewed in different
lights as protecting the debtor against the sacrifice Of
bis property and at the same time keeping the creditor
out of his just dues and in many instances to his very
great injury 1t is hard case and in ordinary times
we would submit 20 it with great reluctance. But the
times are not ordinary ones and deem 1t the true
policy of every good citizen to submit to the powers
that be- although they may bear heavily upon US, We
submit. without a murmur, consoling ourselves though
we NAV suffer in some measure, others will be greatly
benefited.
The complication Of the machinery of governments
very intricate and should be handled with great eau
tion and inficting the least injury possible It Is
fixed principle of all well established governments to
enact such laws or establish such rules the majority
require, but as the majority not always right great
caution should be exercised not inaict injury on
the minority Our people throughout the whole coun
try had rasly and inconsideratey into debt, and
the whole of last years crop remaining on hand unsod
they of course, were without money. If the officer;
Of Justice had been permitted to seize and sell the prop
erty Of the debtors it would have fallen into the hands
Of Shylocks at ruinous prices This would not only
have destroyed the hopes Of the debtors but proved
an incalculable injury to the solvent community, fo
suppose two tracts Of land adjoining each other valued
sI5 per acre one tract belonging to solvent man
The other to debtor Tie unfortunate debtors lane
Is sold at so per acre, consequently bis neghbor}
is reduced in value to the same rate. The same log
viii apply to slaves horses any other Kind Of psr
sonal property.
Some Of our merchapts factors ana agents, doubt
Will suffer in some degree, butmos Of them will prof
by the stay law being themselves largely in debt. Th
banks viii suffer most and they afford it best max
ing their millions By fnanciering and shaving.
It's our cherished doctrine that the cultyaors Of ID
soil are the sovereigns Of the country, and All law
should be enacted to promote their welfare.
By running into debt our people have acted incor
sderatel7, and no doubt sad experience will cause her
to act With caution When things bought On
credit but little attention is paid to price, and We ofte
pav for an article two or three times its valge. Let
learn to do cash business, and cur countrymen vi
soon find themselves prospecting.
