Tue SUPPLY OF SALr-We had an interview yester-
day with J. W. b. Watson, Esq who has just returned
from Saville Va whittier he went to procure Salt for
Johnston county. He states that the prospect for an
adequate supply is gloomy. Mr. Watson informs
that our State Commissioner, Woodhn, Esq, bas
done an immense amount of work and labored faith
fully supply this indispensable article. He origi-
nay contracted with the proprieors OF the salt springs
for much water he required at cost of seventy
five cents for such quantity would produce bushel
of salt the manufacture of the salt being conducted
under his own superintendence aud at the States
expense. The proprietOrs, however it would aeem,
have proved fahess. and now refuses to supply the
requisite quantity, preerrng to sell il ut thernhanced
price of S3.25 to others. |: is probable that Mr..
Woodn will the proprietorser this breach of con-
tract bat what will that avail?" The people of the
State will not be able to put mp their meat unless
supply be procured elsewhere and if the suit should
be successfully prosecuted the enormous gain wrongly
by the breach OF contract Will enable thent pay
heavy damages sf.
Several Of the countless learn, have received the
first instament of their supply, being from one to 1--WE
car loads according to population and each consist
inc of 300 bushels The State works under Mr. Wood

The killing will be over in about 40 days
and bushels is the whole amount that can now
be reasonably expected from that source for the State
This with what has been delivered, will fall far short
of the half million of bushels required for full sup
nlr Those who have should at once turn their
attention 70 our coast and elsewhere. No time is to
be lost and farmers had better note our figures and
make their calculations accordingly.
At Satvile, to-day, spectators are buying up all
they can procure $40 per busheli The entire pro-
duct of the existing works there is about $4,000 bush

very injurious effect. He succeeded in annulling

NEVER SArIsF1ED.-A Georgia paper calls attention
to the fact that the Georgia Railroad Company has
raised its of freight 40 per cent. ut the time
that it declared semi annual dividend of per cent
though its dividends before the were but per
cent. 1t is already making SO per cent profit
than before the war; yet raises its charges as to
make its profits higher still.-FoyetteUUe Observer
We hear frequent complaints that the North Carolina
Railroad has advanced the fare and reduced the &C
commodations. It frequently happens that there is not
light be found in any of the passenger coaches
not even in the occupied by women and children
except what is afforded by opening the stovedoo and
but coach in the train had fire in the stove. We
know this was the three weeks ago. Neither was
there any water on the train for sick soldiers any
else 1t appears that Railroads, as well as indi-
vduals intend to make as much money by the neces-
stiles of the times they possibly can.

CONFEDERATE MoSEY.-We hear the complaint, fire.
uueny that there is too much Confederate money in
circulation, and that the abundance of paper money is
one great of present high prices The best way,
and probably the only way to bring about an equili-
brium is for Congress TO pass heavy tax bill, aud in
that way draw in the currency for the rich Tor
those having surplus amount of money on hand) to
buy Confederate Bonds. If people who have money
invest, instead of buying real estate and other
property at exorbitant prices, would purchase Con-
fcdcrate per cent Bends, they would find it more
profitable investment and at the time it would
prove great help to the ofthe South. If Con-
federae bonds do not out to be q profitable in-
vesmcnt then certainly no kind Of Southern Stocks
property will be of value. for if subuga
ted everything is lOst-Sate bonds, Bank stock,
houses, lands, &C. We consider nothing more certain
than that the independence of the Couederacy will be
established and the best way besides hard fighting
bring about this result speedily is sustain the Gov
eminent by buying its Bonds and in that way do away
with the necessity for further issues of Treasury
The currency of the Confederacy must be maintain

will be accomplished The who refuses to take
Confederate money is more dangerous enemy to our
