immense quantities are generally used in the South,
have heretofore been mostly supplied from the Wes

more easily and abundantly. 1t is another example
of the shameful dependence upon our enemies, we

ExroRTIoNERs AND SPEcuLAroRs.-We have reason
to believe that speculation in the necessaries Of e
is still carried on in this place BY several persons.
They have and are still boarding UP large quantities
Of -four and bacon, and refusing to accommodate
those who are in want. We have no hesitation
whatever in saying this should not be alloeed as we
honestly believe 1t is highly detrimental to the best
interests of our country Before it is too late to
prevent damage, something should be done by those
who have authority to do SO, to put stop to such
an unholy business. No Christian should engage in
it. and patriotism ought to prevent every man from
following such loo doun business It may do for
the greedy Yankee who makes his living by the
misfortunes Of others and swndling, but for South
srn man protesting loyalty, it is too disrsputa6h
and people may well doubt his loyalty to our coun-
try in this her time of trial.
We very respectfully call the attention Of the
authorities of the State to this great evil If they
do not BY the strong arm Of tho lao put stop to
it. the people will, and then who can tell where the
vengeance Of an outraged people will stop.-Sa1s'.

OUR COMMISSIONERS

The following extract from an unknown person in
Paris FrsDce, was taken from letter to Mt Nor.
ris in Yaukeedom by Lincoln's spies recently. It
contains the opinion of the writer of the fitness Of
ment and Of the q. s. Agents:
e. The "Southern Confederacy" were unfortunate
in their civil selection of representatives abroad.
Mr. Yancey besides his unfortunate record IN regard
to slavery, was not a man of the temperament and
weight for England. Judge Rost possesses neither
the force nor tact requisite and strange to say he
was distaseful to the French because Of one Of the
very reasons for which he was appointed, viz: be-
cause he was Frenchman. Butler King, who re-.
presented the commercial interests of the State OF
Georgia, did what he could while here; but in
matter OF etiquette some disagreement grew up be-
tween him and the others, who refused intercourse
with him. Still have not been believer in the
magnitude of what any individual up to the present
could have accomplished; and it must be claimed
for all these gentlemen that they had at least done
no harm. And, indeed, have yet to see that up to
now we have not been as we'll without as we should
have been with Slidel and Mason. Ofcourse Sldell,
at least is man of much greater cabre and fitness
than those who have preceded him; to the future
we have that to see. No one need doubt the wisdom
and foresight Of both England and France. Few
Governments require less information to enable them
to judge how they should act and when they should
act, than they have derived from their own repre-
sentstives in America. And you cannot understand
the very little account of all the agentsregular and
irregulsr-ofthe Federals, including Dayton, Weed
70. When old Scott reached here 1t was the real
izaton of insignifcance utter, which disguised him
and drove him back not a solitary Frenchman,
high or low, called upon him or saw him, or cared
or thought of doing it. Since came here rem
devious has been adopted every day of large num-
Der Of persons belonging to and in the interest of the
South: 1t has embraced many French citizens of
America-not one of this concave was perhaps, \
man who himself exerted any great influence, but as
a whole they have in various ways made themselves
felt feel sure.

Mr.. EDrroR.-I am sure that you have endeavored
to give true statement of the Newborn fight, but
it is hard matter to get the truth as doubtless you
have discovered long ere this That it was terri
BILE fight no one but fool will deny. Isay nothing

not to censure, but to tell the truth. The 33d Req
N. G. Troops entered the hottest of the fgh. soon
field, and longer. Its men fought long and we'll,
thus showing the effects of superior discipline The
loss of the Regiment in killed and wounded and
prisoners was more than double that Of any Regi-
ment in the fight. When they retreated, the Yam
KEGS had carried the works and were advancing in
three directions When the men were ordered to
retreat they were fanked on both their right and
left and the enemy was just up to the breast works
in front of them. We are informed by paroled
prisoner that the entire Regiment would have been
captured but for the fact that when COL Avery was
TAKEN great excitement was produced, and it drew
all the attention to him. He was taken about one
hundred yards from the breastworks while he was
ralyng his men. It. Col Hoke of the sSd by his
cool courage that OCCASION entities himself to the
lasting love and gratitude of the country. He was
so calm and brave in the hottest of the fight that it
drew the attention Of his command. He Is made of
the material to lead armies. 1fsome of our Generals
were such men as Hoke is, our cause would never
suffer. At Brigade review, held last Saturday,
Gen. Holmes highly complimented the regiment.
He spoke warmly of the old flag, tattered and torn
as it is by bullets Owing to the loss Of our Regi
ment in the fight, and partly from sickness, the
companies were small. Gen. Holmes said they
were honorably SO. 80

GEN. ALBERT s JOHNSTON.

The announcement of the death of Genel al Albert
Sidney Johnston, the gallant Commander OF our
army in the southwest, who has fallen, breathing
out his brave soul in the lap of Victory, will be
received with profound sadness throughout our
country. He was the senior officer of our army, and
in all the qualities that make great military COM
mander he had no superior on this continent He
was born IN Mercer county Kentucky, in 1903, and
was consequently at the time of his death SO years
of age He was educated at West Point and on
graduating, entered the 9Th infantry. and was
ordered to the West. During the Black Hawk war
he acted as Adjutant General, President Lincoln
being at the time captain Of volunteers At the
close of the war he resigned his commission, and
resided first in Missouri, next in Texas. War
breaking out in the latter State he entered the
army as private and rose to high distinction. He
afterwards filled the post of Secretary of War. On
the annexation of Texas to the United States, john
ston raised a partisan troop, which he commanded,
and accompanied General Taylor to Monterey. At
the close of the Mexican war he returned to his PLAN
tation Under Pierce, Mr. jefferson Davis, then
Secretary of War, made Johnston Colonel of the
Second Cavalry, and he subsequently, received the
command of the Southwestern Military district.
At the outbreak of the war with Utah he was chosen
to command the expedition which crossed the Plains.
He continued to fill that post with great ability
being, in fact, dictator in the country which he
occupied-until the secession of the South when he
noblv abandoned the Federal flag
Gen. Johnston was put in command of the South
ern soldiers in the Department of Kentucky and
Missouri, and invested with Plenipotentary author
ty to control all the military operations in the West
His Kentucky nativity, and his thorough knowledge
of the western country, coupled with his great ab
ty rendered him an especially appropriate selection
to the important position which he held at the time
of his DEATH Gen. Johnston was six feet one inch
high, of large, bony, sinewy frame, quiet and unas
suming in manners, all conspring to form person
of imposing and attractive address. His brother,
Josiah Stoddard Johnston, who was blown up on
steamboat on the Red river, La, and killed, was at
the time in the u S. Senate from that State the
second of Mr. Clay in his duel with John Randolph,
and was a man of the most eminent abilities.

CAPTAIN JOHN h. MoRGAN-Brace7y and Nod
esty.-It is undeniable that true courage and mod
esty almost invariably 20 hand in hand. The Off
cial report of Capt. John H. Morgan of one of his
scouting expeditions beyond Murfreesboro', Tenn,
which We published some days ago, affords strik-
ing illustration of this. In that report, Capt Nor
gam after recounting what had been accomplished
by his little command says:
"Returning alone in the direction of Murlrees.
boro', encountered picket of six men, who sur
rendered to me on being summoned and delivered
up their arms"
The Atlanta Consderaey gives the following state.
ment of the affair as it actually occurred:
While the brave Captain is so modest in announc-
ing the successful accomplishment of one of the
most daring deeds Of the war, We must, for the
benefit of history and the pleasure of readers,
tell of the affair as it actually occurred.
After having taken SO prisoners near Nashville
with his % men, Capt. Morgan started them back
in three different detachments While subsequently,
returning alone with the intention of overtaking
them, as he was crossing the pike he observed some
distance in advance Federal officer. Accosting
rection, Captain Morgan ascertaned that tire YAM
kee was Lieut. Burns, with picket Of five men,
who at the time were in house at the side of the
road. Instantly forming his purpose, Capt. Morgan
loosened his revovers buttoncd his Federal overcoat
so as to conceal his own uniform, and galoped up
to the picket
"How are matters, Lieut. Burns 7" said Capt.
Morgan, addressing the Yankee officer.
"All right, Colonel" reported Burns.
"Where are your men?" asked Morgan.
"In the house there" replied Burns
"Nice way of attending to your duty, sir. Con-
slider yourself under arrest, and hand me your
sword and pistol" said Capt. Morgan
His order was promptly obeyed, and Capt Nor
gan then directed Burns to call out his men singy.
After requiring them to hand to him their sabres
and guns, he ordered them to march.
1--WE are going the wrong direction, Colonel"
said Burns, after they had started.
mo, it's all right Tam Capt. Morgan r' said
the brave partizan to his now thoroughly frightened
-captives.
At this juncture Capt Morgan was joined by
one of his men, Mr.. Spaulding, who had with him
four of the prisoners taken earlier in the day.
After marching all night they safely reached their
command with the ten prisoners.
All this but goes to show what can be accomplished
by daring, courageous, yet prudent and discreet
man. We should have a Morgan, with his band,
to cut off and destroy supplies burn bridges tear up
roads, and harass annoy, and cripple the vile Hes
sian invaders every mile of road between the Con.
