SALT.

The increase of salt-works around US,
seems to have the effect Of raising the
price of this necessary article. Every
means is used to make it psy-even to
selling it by the pound. Georgia, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, have each
made provision for their people, while
we are left to the mercy of the specu-
lasors who monopolise the private sup
plies that occasionally find their way to
the Interior. What the prices may be
on the coast, we know not, but up here
they are almost fabulous, and must
soon call for the interference of Gov
eminent. The supply here is quite
limited, and we see but a poor prospect
for saving our bacon this winter. Our
Legislature may do something for us
when it meets, but it may be then too
late for many purposes, unless they
purchase instead Of going into a system
of manufacture that would require time
to mature. Our friends on the coast
have no idea of the suffering for salt in
the up-country.. ...... I.

progress Of work on the Notifications

The Late Great Battles.

MOBILE, Nov. 1.-Aspecial despatch
to the Advertiser and Register, dated
Holly Springs, 31st, says that Surgeon
Bond, of Prices army, who was wound
ed at Corinth, returned to-day in one Of
Rosencranz's ambulances. He left four
hundred Of our wounded at Iuka and
two hundred distributed in the county.
They are we'll fed and cared for, and
20 Confederate Surgeons with them
Rosencranz has been very attentive to
our wounded, and declares that such
fighting was never equaAed, and such
brave men are entitled to every atten-
ton. &. The only thing, they require is
clothing, of which, dtheBs are in need
Three hundred suits will BE Sent them.
Rosencranz, in tears,met our Surgeons,
after the battle, and expressed regret
that such brave men should suffer so
severely. His Adjutant- declared that
had Prices command been supported,
or other troops handled as we'll, the
Confederates would have held Corinth.
Finding our troops had gained the CEN
tre of the town, his ordnance buildings
were fired, and with difficulty extin-
guished, after Green's Brigade fell
back, for want of support Surgeon
Scott, who was imprisoned at St. Louis,
has returned. -. -, .. .l..-

SEVERE SENTENCE oBA LIQUOR Sell
LER.--The business of selling liquor in
Petersburg, Va, against the authority
of martial law, is not a very safe one.
VIM. Harold, for that offence, was
sentenced to have one-half his head
shaved, wear barrel shirt, and stand
with it on several hours a day for, three
days, in front Of the house in which he
sold it, and to work for six months on
the public fortifcations, with ball and
chain attached to bis leg. The Egpress
has also the following sentence by the
same court martial: e. -. -
Michael Hanley, "a citizen Of Rich
mond, convicted Of the charge of at
tempting to smuggle liquor through
this city to Richmond, is sentenced. to
wear 'sbarrel Shirt with. the words
:a'liquor smuggler'' marked in large let
ters on it, to be marched through town
to the Southern depot, and there to
stand exposed, in his novel garment,
from 10 till 8 o'clock. He lis. then to
be sent to hard labor on the fortified.
tions at Fort Caswell, for the period OF
six months, with ball and chain attach
ed to hisleft leg. Thisis is-the man who
attempted to smuggle liquor.t through the e
city some days ago, packed up in bar:

at the Southern depot and .confscated,
and the potatoes, about forty-fve bush

THE WAR.

It will be seen we have little or. no
news from our Armies this week, each
party seeming to be at a stand still
though we may look for renewal of
hostilities at any moment, in almost
any quarter. The consequence of this
inactivity is the numerous reports of
a recognition by France and England,
and this time it is insinuated that the
North desires. it, as an excuse to end
the war, which has not proven as profit
able as anticipated; while in peace on
any terms they may. again fleece the
South in their trade which is now suf-
fering. It is believed Lord Lyons who
is expected at Washington, will be
placed in position to define the course
and views of the British government,
but this, will hardly have any effect on
the preparation of our Generals, who
it is trusted will continue to keep up the
morale and comfort of their commands.
One thing is certain, the Yankees are
pushing forward to completion several
gunboats, with a view to an attack on
Charleston or Savannah-if we suffer
ourselves to be lulled into false securi=
ty, by these silly prophecies of 'peace
by Christmas or recognition in sixty
days." we will loose all the little van
tage we have gained the epastsix months.
We have every faith in our Govern
ment, but we cannot but think the con-
scription drags too slowly along. Our
companies in service need filling up at
once to their required numbers; In
stead of which we see the papers crowd
ed with advertisements of deserters OF
absentees from their several commands.
This is bad state of affairs, and can
be easily remedied by the cooperation
Of the State with the Confederate Gov.
ernment.
We repeat, we see no signs of peace
at present, but on the other hand have
every reason to expect that tremend
GUS army will be thrown upon us simil
taneously at several points, from which
results alone, we may find a basis fol
future speculation.

Our State Laws. \
~ We have expressed our opinion that
Lincoln 8 Proclamation should be met
in the South, by. Proelamations from
the Southern Governors announcing
their intention to enforce strictly the
existing State laws against negro thieves
and insurreetionists. The Richmond
Whig, in its issue of the 29th, takes a
similar view of the subject. It says:
: The late Congress having failed to
recommend any specific measures for
preventing the murderous system of
warfare proposed to be inaugurated by
the enemy after the first Of JANUARY, we
submit whether the Governors of the
States should not interpose their au-
thority, apd the law of the sovereign
comYonwealths over which they pre-
side, for the protection of their citizens:
In Virginia, and we doubt not in all the
other States Of the Confederacy, there
are statutes which provide the penalty
of hanging for such offences, as are au-
thorized and enjoined by the late pro-
clamation Of the Yankee President
Whymay not Gov. Letcher, and the Gov
ernors of all the other States, issue coun-
ter proclamations giving notice to the
enemy that any Yankee soldier taken
within the limits of their respective ju-
risdictions after the 1st of january will
be held as being there for the purpose
Of aiding and abetting in the perpetration
of the crime directed to be committed
by the proclamation, and as particeps
in any such crime already committed,
and shall be hung: We know no pow
er to limit authority of the Cover
nors in matters of this kind. We know
nothing that supercedes or suspends
the laws Of the States. We know moth
ing that releases the Governors from
the obligation to exert every power
they possession the protection of the
citizens And we trust that they will
give this subject the consideration to
which It is entitled. .e.5 Z =
