that In this you but share the common
fate Of your fellow-citizens, More than
TWO hundred millions OF dollars lis. worth
of produce is now held by the patriotic
planters of the Confederate states, and
so far from seeking to sell or barter
this they stand ready to destroy, and
have in many instances voluntarily APP
piled the torch, and with self-sacrinc-
ing devotion worthy Of men who aspire
to be free, calmly see It reduced to
ashes, rather than sell even at the most
exorbitant rates, to the enemies of their
country. And, If you will but turn
your eyes to a neighboring parish, you
may there see the very materials
which you fear will become rubbish"
on your hands-thousn but recently
formed into comfortable dwellings, and
sheltering helpless women and children
reduced to heaps Of rubbish and
ashes, while their inmates have been
driven to the woods, and deprived Of
all means of subsistence. And this has
been done by the very men with whom
you would now open commercial inter-
course to whose avarice you would
minister and whose wants you would
supply.
The General commanding directs me
in conclusion to say that regarding
these prohibitions of traffic with the
enemy as essential to the successful
defense of the country, he is determln-
ed rigidly to enforce them; and that
any one who may be detected in at
tempting to evade or violate them will
be promptly brought to condign pun
ishment.
Very respectfully,
JAMES o. FUQUA,
District Provost Marshal General.

Trading with the Yankees.

commanding as Provost Marshal Gem
eral in that State, to be allowed to
trade with the city of New Orleans, In
provisions, sc Gen. r, has returned the
following able and patriotic answers,
refusing the request:
First District Provost Marshal
Generals Office,
Tangipahoa, July II, 1862.
To Messrs. H. B. Hand Thomas Gil
lesple and other citizens Of the Parish
Of st. Tammany:
Gentlemen-Your petition asking per-
mission to open trade with the enemies
Of your country, who occupy New Or
leans and Baton Rouge, the CONNER
cial and political capitals of your State,
has been received by Gen. Ruggles, and
I am directed by him TO reply.
In doing 80 I beg leave to call your
attention to General Order No 2, from
these headquarters, and to paragraph
LIST of General Order No. 9, from De-
partment Headquarters, prohibiting all
intercourse and traffic with the enemy,
or persons within its lines, and an
nouncing the penalty of death against
those who engage in it. Copies of these
are herewith enclosed for your infor-
nation.
These orders have been called for by
the stern necessities of the times, and
1t is believed, have met with tn most
universal approval Of the loyalPitizens
of the country, For Is there anything
novel in the regulation they prescribe,
or the penalties they announces They
but declare and clothe with penal sane
tons doctrines long established and
universally recognized.
r. rsSef in your communicatf6HS while
asking to be exempt from their pro
visions you recognize their justice, for
you say: I'VE are aware that III time
Of war there should be no trade be-
tween beligerants." But you urge that
yours is an exceptional case, and that
to enforce this rule would subject you
to great hardships.
For now more than twelve months
your country has been engaged ia gil
gantic struggle for existance. Her no.
BILE people have poured out their treas
ures as water, and like the ancient pa
triarchs, have not even withheld their
children from the sacrifice, but have
cheerfully sent them forth to encounter
the tolls of the march, the diseases of
the camp and perils of the battlefield.
Hundreds of them have fallen by the
wayside-thousands have fingered and
died in the hospitals, many of them
for the want of medicines which could
not be obtained; and thousands more
have persisted on the field of battle.
But their thin and wasted ranks have
been filled by others, eagerly pressing
forward to take the place of the fallen,
and today your flag is proudly born
in the face of and behind the foe by
men half clothed, half-fed, and who
for months have not known even the
rude comforts of a soldiers tent. Nor
has the army been alone in this res
pect; every class of society has, to
greater or less extent, been subjected
to hardships and privations, which to
their lasting honor be it said, have
been firmly and even cheerfully borne.
And if, gentleman, the time has come,
when you are called upon to take your
portion of the widespread suffering
the General commanding hopes and be-
lieves that you will not be found want

Gen. Stuart left Hanover Court
House on Monday with Lees cavalry,

To WHAT WILL THE MULrIPL1cArIov OF
SHNPLAsrERs LEAD Us?-There seems to
be an evident disposition on the part Of seve-
raj banks of the State to get an extension Of
their charters, or iccharter this fall The
natural impression one would get from the
present condition Of the currency would be,
that banking could not be profitable. The
large amount Of paper currency issued by the
United States Government would, we should
suppose, interfere with the circulation Of
smaller banks Of doubtful character As in
1873 aud 80, SO now the country seems doom
ed to be flooded with paper representing value
till from its own superabundance it becomes
worthless Already the bills OF our best
banks have deprecated one-iourth in conse-
quence Of the failure of the banks to redeem
in specie--and as far as we are able to learn.
the circulation of these banks is to the ut
most limit Of the law. II the time ever
comes when these banks are required to re-
deem in specie then we may expect to see
such crash in banking Institutions as this
State never witnessed before.
