GovERNoR's PRoCLANAr1oN.--This document will
fail among the spectators like bomb shell. We
hope the officers entrusted with its execution will
do so with patriotic zeal. Otherwise 1t will amount
to nothing We hear of large quantities Of goods in
this town about to be shipped out of The State which
are liable to seizure under this Proclamation. We
hear, also, of goods marked "army supplies " and
shipped by Express to private hands in Richmond
and elsewhere, to be sold on speculation.
We hope the Legislature and Governor will also
SECURE to the State the monopoly in clothing sup
plies in accordance with the erms of the agreement
entered into with the Confederate Government for
clothing our own troops. This resources of our
State are ample for people and troops But with
Confederate Commissaries and Quarter Masters in
every town, competing with State officers and send
ing out every thing they can lay hands on for the
army in general there is reason to fear there will
be mnch suffering amongst our brave fellow citizens
in Virginia, and our people at home. -Salisbury
