ARMY WoRNs.-The following is from a Leesburg
correspondent Of the Memphis Appeal The officers
can buy whatever they want but the soldiers
And whenever the officers appropriate to themselves
what is the soldiers they guilty OF tue worst
kind ofrobbery Butspeakug of presents from home,
would hazard few words of advice those WHO have
sent things the of war for Ghe of the sick
and wounded To such kind friends I would simply
keep all such things at hone hut if sent al all let
them be consigned to the company direct nine hun
dred and whine chances to one they never reach
the palate of those for whom intended Strange the
confession Is It's nevertheless true, that of all the nice
things, preserves, etc, which thoughtful friends have
for the sick and wounded have never yet seen
glass of wine, particle of preserves or pickle
served to the sick in all my experience observa
ton at the hospitals yet, tile contrary have seen
petty officers OF all grades enjoying themselves hugely
over what intended for others, and treating their
patients with soeitude and care than if they
were many cattle Hence say, let all who have
anything to send have them directed the company
regiment direct, and let captains commssaries tend
to their distribution common individual stores; bat
by means let them be handled by those drones of
hungry officials who the annoyance burden and pest
OF nearly all our regiments-men, usually, who coyet
and seek any petty palty Office escape the battlefield
and ride rough shod over their betters in the ranks.

tons of "the army worm, but rest assured have not
been blind to their manouvres forgotten the shame

RETALIATION AGAINST CANADA.-ln the New York
Heralds money article we find the following:
We learn that determined effort is going be made at
this session of congress for the repeal of the reciprocity
treaty with Canada. Representatives or border con-
stuencies have always been opposed to it, as, in their
view, it gave to Canada benefits which by 10
means required by the province. A generous regard
for neighborng and allied people has hitherto induced
the bulk Of the members of congress oppose the
taken for its repeal and the project has been deferred
from session TO session This winter it seems the oppo
nens of the treaty upon success They have
ken the pains to collect complete files of the Toronto
Leader and Quebec Chronice-the government organ,
which certainly breathe spirit OF unreasonlug and
implacable hostility the United States government,
and of extraordinary and of sympathy fol
the rebels and they reckon that with this adventurous
aid they will be enabled to induce majority OF the
members of congress to repeal the treaty.
The Canadian government will be at liberty to enact
reciprocity treaty with the Southern Confederacy if it
succeeds in establishing its independence. This viii
doubtless cousole the people OF Canada for the adyan
tage which their present government seems so sotous
to throw away Another project which has hardly as
sumed definite Shape as yet, looks to the establish
meut of new commercial system, which eecualiy pre-
vent the expectation of United States produce by way
of Canada. If, as the Canadian government seems tt
assume it is the duty of Great Britain to make up
on this country it is highly necessary to prevent GU
people getting into the habit OF using the Grand Truni
railway or the Canadian canals a means of eommu
nication with the seaboard.

SLAVE HmE-The salt and other spectators have
been pretty well Anpooned throughout the country
Landlords have been compelled reduce their rents
here from 40 to 50 per cent while negro hire has re-
oeded but little
The Raymond Miss Gazette says so fara8 we have
observed in this immediate vicinity negroes have hired
for the present year reduction Of from % IS per
cent Oh the prices Of last year We have heard Of
few cases where reduction Of so per sub
ntted to, but in all SUCH presume there were spe-
oal reasons.
The same paper gives notice that meeting of the
shareholders Of Kinds county would take place on the
18th instant in the courthouse, in Raymond, for the
purpose Of consultation, with view unanimy, with
reference the value to be placed upon slave proper
ty under the Confederate State Now gentlemen,
the government must have money, and if sou put a
false value upon youreaves, the Confederate congress
will of necessity increase the per ccntge. You have
10 bear tue burthen and YOU had better do it meeky
Good cooks hired at Lynchburg Virginia, at from
$50 to S75-house servants about the same. Farm

still further declining.

SALr-MAKING.-We are truly gratifed to learn the
rapid progress making in the manufacture Of salt in al
most every direction The work has commenced in
good earnest and we hope there will be relaxation
until the price is reduced to one dollar per bushcl-
Hands should be kept work the various saItlicks
during the whole year
The White Man. published in the Indian nation above
u.s. says We are pleased to to the public that
there are salt springs about Is miles north Of this place
in the edge Of Wise county, and learn that there
IS a company now at work at them, making from 500
to 500 pounds per day. The salt manufactured is Of
the best quality There is also another salt spring in
Palo Pinto county, about p miles from this place
Several of our country farmers are at the Palo
Pinto springs making their supplies for the present
year We further learn that the salt water each Of
the above places inexhaustble Personsat either Of
the places can with one 90 gallon kettle, boil of.5J
pounds per day One man could easily tend ten ket-
ties So soon az navigation opens kettles in great
abundance will be brought from New Orleans.
A gentleman who recently visited Texas, informs us
that there is salt well between this place aud Houston,
and that the citizens we're making their own salt by
boiling in common pots. Several informed our in
formant that they had sent New Orleans for suitable
kettles and intended to prosecute the business and dg
more wells

zone Of the duties which will deyolve upon govern

Gus iudulgences dsqualify them for their posts We
are sorry to say there is too much necessity for in8ttU
ting this inquiry. 1t is bitter mockcry to arrest

and leave unreproved the maudn officer whose fault
involves the usefulness, and the comfort and even the
