. Giving the Contest.

We seldom notice the State Journal, but friend
has called our attention to an extraordinary article
in that paper of the 2Sth October which we feel IL
to be duty to bring to the notice of our readers
In the first place, that paper draws the following
picture ofthe condition of the arwy and the country
Already the prices of breadstuffs and meat have
reached point which threatens our subjugation.
1t is next to impossible now to supply the army,
and the great mass Of the poorer people of the
South are on the verge of starvation. Thirty dol
lars per barrel for flour, four to eight dollars for
corn, and sixty to seventy cents per pound for
bacon will break down and ruin any people. But
if the evil be not guarded against we fear that
these enormous prices will yet be doubled"
The foregoing is, in the MAN, true; but that pa
per goes on to say: ;
:" This must not be- Better thousand times to,
at once withdraw troops from the field, and
give up the contest voluntarily, than to be driven
into subjugaton, as q famine-stricken people, by
the hated foe We believe, however, there is pa
:rotism and foresight enough in the South to save
her brave people from such calamity and such hu-
initiation" 49,. .~.
The State Journal In Che first place declares that
ait is next to impossible nOw to supply the army,
and that the great mass of the poorer people of the
South are on the verge of starvation, "-in the
ond place it apprehends that condition in this
respect will not improve-and it then says, /" Bet
ter thousand times to at once acithdrau our troops
from the fed and gire up. the contest, voluntarily,
than to be driOen into su6jugatiOn, as Jfamine- :
stricken people, By the hated Joe" We leave it
with every fair-minded reader to say if the above
language of the State Journal does not amount to
giving up the contest. II we had used such Ian
guage, and if the gag law proposed in the Conven-
DaSSpd he
had carried this State in August lsst would have
been arrested at once and put in prison.
1t is true, we attach no importance to the indi-
Vdual opinions Of the Editors of the paper referred
to; but they speak for persons of character and
property who belongt to the old secession party
no doubt the above language carefully weighed,
and uttered only after due consultation with those
or some of those who own and control the paper.

The posltion of Gen. Lees army was undisturbed
=. last accounts About 1000 Federal cavalry were
touring the country about Manassas on the 2sth.
Our forces under Gen. Echols, were again in pos
ssssion of Charleston, Kanawha County, and our
scouts had pushed up into Lewis and adjoining
Counties.
We have nothing further from Charleston. The
1G.,;,,ippian says that Gen. Van Dorm, with only
.bou 600 troops attacked Rosencranz at Corinth,
rrorI fortified with 10000, and 10000 more at
convenient point to help. The South western pa
nsrs are down upon Van Dorm, Lowell and Pillow.
Tbey congratulate themselves upon the appoint
ment of Lieut. Gen. Pemberton. We hope they
will not see cause to change their opinion. Sterling
Price IS the man in the West.
Gen Kirby Smith is said to have retreated from
Kentucky with train of wagons 40 miles long,
with 1000, 900 yards of jeans and large amount
If cattle. mules and bacon and other stores. We
are inclined to the opinion if Kirby Smith had held
the command in Kentucky with Bragg's army, he
would have held his position.
