BALTIMORE, Sept. II.
Gen Lee has issued the following procama.
tion.
LEES HEADQUARTERS,
ARMY OF NORTHERN vinGxIA,
near Fredericktown, Sept g.
To the People Of Maryand!--
Ii is right that you should know the purpose
that bzs brough the army under my command
within the limits Of your state, SO far as that pur-
pose concerns yourselves. .l
The people of the Confederate States have
long watched with the deepest sympathy tho
wrongs and outrages that have been aicted up.
on the citizens Of a commonwealth allied to the
States of the South by the strongest social, po.
tical. and commercial ties, and reduced to the
condition Of a conquered province.
Under the pretence Of supporting the Consti.
tution, but in violation Of its most valuable pro.
visions Of your citizens have been arrested and
imprisoned, upon no charge and contraryto all
the furms of law.

rage made by venerable and illustrious Ma.
rylander, to whom In better days no citizen ap.
peaed for right in vain. was treated with scorn
and contempt.
The government Of your chief city has been
usurped by armed strangers-your Legislature
has been dissolved by the unlawful arrest Of its
membefs--freedom Of the press aud Of speech
has been suppressed have been declared
offences by an arbitrary decree Of the federal ex.
ecuiive--and citizens ordered to be tried by mil.
i,ary commissions for what they may dare to
speak.
Believing that the people of Maryland posse IS
a spirit too lofty to submit to such n government,
the people of the South have long wished to aid
you in throwing off the foreign yoke to enable
You again to enjoy the invaluable rights Of fre,s
men, and restore the independence and sover-
eighty Of your state.
In obedience to this wish our army has come
among you, aud is prepared to assist You with
the power Of Its arms in regaining the rights Of
which you have been SO unjasty despoiled.-
This, ciizens of Maryland, is our mission % far
rs you are concerned. No restraint upon your
free will is intended-no intimidation will be al.
lowed within the limits OF this army at least
Maryanders shalt once more enjoy their ancient
freedom Of thought and speech. We kaow no
enemies among you, aud will protect all Of YOU
in every opinion,
1t is for you to decide your destiny freely, and
without conStraint This army will respect your
choice, whatever it may be; and while tho
southern people will rejoice t, welcome you TO
your natural position among them, they will
only welcome you when yon come Of your own

On Friday last, a metallic box drift
ed ashore at Hatteras Inlet, about halt
way between Forts Hattcras and Clark.
1t contained very costly mahogany
coffin with remains in q dccomposed
state. The box was marked "1123, w."
By orders Of Captain White it received
interment, and the grave correspond
ingly marked. We mention this fact,
as by this means, possibly it may meet
the eye of some friend of the deceased,
who, at some future period, may desire
to recover it. The theory is, that the
vessel containing it may have been lost
at sea, or what is more probable, it
became so offensive by reason OF de-
composition, that it was cast overheard.
The fire on Monday noon, as we were
going to press, was caused by the burn
ing of a small dwelling on Metcalf
street. At one time it became alarm
ingly threatening, but owing to the en-
ergy of the Foster Hose Company, and
the New York Engine CompanysN No.

adjoining buildings, and thus avoided
disastrous results. Our Fire Depart.

Voting of the Conscripts.

Large numbers of conscript soldiers are hurrying
to the camps at Crabtree, this City, and to the
camp at Statesville. Perhaps before the day of
election, the 3lst inst, there will be from z to
10000 men gathered at each camp. If they could
have been permitted to remain home three or four
weeks longer they could have secured their crops
and have discharged the high privilege of voting in
all cases at the approaching election. The Conven-
ton could not have anticipated such collection of
citizens into camps of instruction at this juncture
and hence, did not the necessity of making any
special provision in the case.
Those citizens although conscript soldiers, desire
no doubt to exercise the privilege of voting They
ought not to be deprived Of that privilege if it can
be avoided. We call the attention of Maj. Mallett
at once to this subject Let the necessary arrange
ments be made, if it can be done, to meet the
intention of the law of the State. Major Mallett,
as well as all concerned will SEQ the necessity and
propriety of this suggestion.

Salt Salt J!

Natt S6U
We see an article in our exchanges copied from
Gov. Clark's organ, assuring the people of North
Carolina that the Governor has made arrangements
by which he hopes to obtain for the people of the
State an ample supply Of salt in due season.
If this statement be based upon solid footing
and the supply of salt will be ample seasonable and
at moderate price for the times, the people will be
grateful to Gov. Clark for making the provislon.-
But statement Of this kind, to be entirely salts
factory to the people, and set them at rest in regard
to the supply of salt, should give the facts-the
proper data upon which 70 base solid expectation
Our people must have salt-in proper season, and
on the best terms possible. Now, what are Gov.
Clarks calculations based upon? We are not
aware that the law authorizes him to engage in any
new scheme to obtain supply Of salt yet the peo-
pie would hold him guiltless Of any breach of the
law, if he should succeed in obtaining the salt
We learn the State Salt Commissioner is making
about 25O bushels per week, and that it is sold to
the Counties at So so per bushel This source will
not afford more than onetenth the quantity of salt
needed We have heard of no success in the West
in obtaining salt by State enterprise. Private fac
tors are producing salt which may be obtained by
Counties at 81 so. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
they must have some other reliance. But the peo-
pie want to be sure of it now. 1t is proper there
fore, that Gov Clark should let the people know at
an early day s0hers they can get Salt-,0hen they
can get it-in sohat quantity it can be afforded,
and at sohat price.
