SALT AND PoaK Fresh pork is selling at high
pf'ces If this is owing to the high price Of salt,
We hope that the arrival of the salt bought for the
county recently, will bring down prices. Salt at
FS'oo per bushel ought to bring down the price Of
pork.

THE POLICY OF PLANTING CorroN.5Vice Prssi.
dent Stephens has been delivering speeches in Geor.
gia which the papers have misrepresented by say
ing that he urged the planting of large crops of COT
ton. He has authorized contradiction Of the state
ment What he did say was, "to.urge the impcr-
tanee raising large crops Of grair while the war
lasted-not only for home consumption, but also 10
feed the army. The clothing, shoeing, and feeding
of our men in the field was, he said, the first and
highest duty Of every patriot. In relation to our
foreign policy, the idea of son:e that We should
abandon the growth of cotton in order to force our
recognition abroad, was, in his Judgment radical
and fundamental error; as he believed cotton.to DO
one of our chief elements of power-not political,
out commercial but should first SEQ 10 II that
our prouision crop is ample for home and army con-
sumption and, when that is secured the more cot
ton we raise the better"
This strikes US as being the true policy Of tho
South-a medium between the abandonment uf the
cultivation of cotton and the planting of hrge crops
of it. The latter We cannot do without entaing
upon our soldiers and their families q terrible ad.
dition to their present sufferings and the former
We should not do, both because the South itself
wants a great deal of cotton, and that we never

SoUru CAROLINA TRooPs.--We learn by stSte-

altogether but fifteen Thousand soldiers in Virginia
and in Btaggs army. We are surprised at this
showing because we thought that South Carolins
had at least thirty thousand in Vrginia and in
the Kentucky army. 30
: North Carolina, we think, has very nearly 6tty
thousand men in Virginia alone. She has SO or
ganized Regiments in service, besides number of
companies Of Rangers. We take pleasure in making

A TRIBUTE

A
TO MAI. GEN. STERLING FrIcs, OF THE c. .. A.
Like the Simeon blast that sweepeth o'er
Arabia's deserts arid,
Where dwarfed and nang'ed shrubs before
Its giant tVrce are carried;
Or like the crashing avalanche,
That rushes down the mountain, 80
Forgetting i'll its proud advance
Below the lovely fountain
Aroseihe clouds of civil war,
ForebOdIng woe snd sorrow,
And leaving scarce single star
That would give hope tomorrow.
The tocsn then fr,r East to West
Rang loudly through our bnrders:
Come, Souihroi.s, come. your soils oppressed,
Drive back the vie nlarauders".
The. heard. aud thousands bravey went,
Young men and fathers hsary,
To meet the hosts the tyrant sent
To blot ont Southern glory.
The storm rugged -and higher rose
The furious, crimson bows,
Which echoed willis as sad as those
OF Israel meath the w.llnws!
But mid the gloom there rose star
Where hopes were won't TO cluster
And shone amid the storm of war,
With sweet and hali0wed lustre;
Ger sunny hu,nes it shed its light.
Fur Southern hearts twas cleaning,
And freedoms shrieks that pierced the night
Were hushed amid its bcaming.
But trembling gazed the vile allies
And cohorts Of their Neru,
When they beheld in Western skies
This slar-brnre PRIcE, the Hero!
In him has right and liberty
friend that scorns OPPRESSION.
Whose arm the West is raised to free
From tyranny's aggression
The heroes who have laurels won,
Though they have passed deaths portal,
Ye ive-remember Washington
The patriot immortal!
By counsels wise. Soon gave
A perm.ncncc to Sparta.
And Caesar died the proud, the brave,
For Rome q landed martyr.
With these the name of PRIcE appears,
A watch word that will never
Grow dim through lapse of future years,
But it will live forever?
In Southern hearts. Mssouri's SON
When war with us hath ended.
Thy namc will 1--we, thou peerless ono,
With deeds of vuor blended.

An INCIDENTAL correspondent of the Peters
burg Express narrates the following incident:
On Tuesday, the 1st of July, 1862, an old man
with the air and eye of command might have been
seen sturdy and with true soldier step. vending
his way down the road that led from Richmond to
Malvern Hill, destined TO the scene Of the last and
bIoodiest stand of Mcclellan on the Peninsula
His trusty Enfield was thrown acrsss his shoulder
and well filled cartridge box demonstrated his
ability to do what his resolute demeanor r-ocsined
his intention Every straggler he passed-and
though an old man he passed many-hs urged with
entreaty, with threats, and with scoffs to hasten
with him to the post of duty. To the weak he
spoke kindly word of encouragement. to the
skulkers scorching sarcasm, and if you had sekcd
him whittier he was vending on that July day, he
would have answered, ITO take my sons place IN
the ranks; he is too sick 10 to day. AMI his
company is after tho enemy" And thus the GAL
liant old chieftain trudged on his eighteen miles.
That son was and is member of the Petersburg
RiAemen, and as thorough gentleman and chvsl-
rous a soldier as the Southern Confsderacy holds,
and that father was General alter Gwynn, who'
has, at last as see by today's Etpress, been a..
signed to duty. 800
We have it upon what we deem very reliable AL
tho!ity, says the Knoxville Register, that alter our
army fell back from Perryville, General John II.
Morgan dashed into Lexington and hung. in the
street, the Provost Marshal Of that city. 1t
that this dirty tool of Lincoln had notified the
mother of General Morgan that she must leave Ken
lucky, and, in the event of her failing to d., so
would resort to some severe measures to make her
CO. The noble son, learning this, resolved that he
would take his life at all hazards. This he did, ~

gallant style. ~ s,..s s-..j
