The Grenada Appeal of the 18th, con
tains but little news not already received
Manufacturers convention met at Au.
gusts, Ga, on the 18th uI,. Owing to
high prices Of articles used in manufac-
ture, ii was not thought advisable to con-
tract with government at fixed prices for
more than one month at time. Conven-
ton adjourned to meet at Charleston on
the call of the President.
The Appeal says it learns from several
sources. that the federals in West Tennes-
see and vicinity of Holly Springs, have
forbidden farmers sowing wheat, declar-
ing that they will not be allowed to raise
it, Their purpose being to prohibit pro.
duction of every thing but cotton. First
that market for eur lus from the North.
West may be enhanced and, second, to
cheaper the great staple. Another object
is to starve the people Of the South inte
submission.
Agents of Confederate government, in
Mississippi, arc buying up cotton and
paying for it in $ per cent bonds.

groes in the South and viii never con-
sent to the social equality Of tie white and
black races. am, says he, no street
scavenger. The Gen. then expatlates on

nSy- That the South ia exhausted If !,

EE- That the South is exhausted of it's
fighting men correspondent Of the New
York Evening Post is fully persuaded,
and gives the following fact in proof -
The county Of Coosa in 1860 threw over
1890 votes. 1t has sent 70 the war over
1900 soldiers! And this is the case in
almost every neighborhood. The negroes
are very calm 10 the midst Of the terrors
of the war. In the very beginning they
said: "This war is going to kill up all the
white men in the South, and leave the
land to be titled by the negroes" He says
they are confident they will be all free,
and that, as people, they are at this mo-
ment far better fitted to take care of them
