We have received a note from a

directions which she alleges she

submitted her note to several ladies
who have knit the caps, and have

SPECTATORS, ExToRTIoNERs, BA-
CoN.-A few weeks ago bacon,
lard, &C., were dull Of sale here at
say 25c. retail! and traders were
glad to get this price, and it was
more than the people had money
TO pay for it. But q worse enemy
than the Yankees is now destroy
ing our country and cause-it Is
an army of spectators and extor-
TONERS! They have bought up all
the bacon and lard, paying more
than the Tennesseeans asked two
weeks ago, and are buying all that
came to market or that they can
hear Of. 1t is monopolized for
the purpose of fextortion-is stored
away in houses in Huntsville for
higher prices still, and our people
can't buy round-it is not for
sale. Such being the case and
our army suffering for such food,
the attention of the Government
agents here, at Chattanooga, or
elsewhere, is called to The large
amounts of bacon in store In
Huntsville by spectators, in viola
ton of army orders, that they may
press it to feed our starving brave
boys in Virginia, and pay the cor
morants % cents for it-20 more
than Mitchell paid our people,
We are ready to suffer to benefit
the army, but not to enrich an ar.
nv of extortioners who ought to
! be out in the ranks TO serve their
country.-Huatsril7e Adsoeate.

DEATH BLOW.


! Messrs. Editors::-1t strikes me
that the President has not gone
far enough with his Proclamation
of Emancipation. Under the War
Power, which makes it lawful for
him to do anything be pleases to
break down the rebellion, he has
dissolved the relations existing be-
tween master and servant after
January l, 1868. Now, would it
not be death blow to the rebel
lion if he would proclaim that all
other State laws should be repealed,
and shall be of no force whatever
Oh and after that date. There
are other relations, such as hus-
band and wife, parent and child,
debtor and creditor; there are laws
to punish stealing and murder, and
a Thousand more that may all be
annuIled by the simple verbal
proclamation of the President
1t is evident that if the rebels see
that they are to have no servants,
TO wives, no children, no laws OF
any kind, after next Christmas,
they will come and lay down their
arms without any more fighting
| would if Iwere one Of them, and
such dreadful things were about
to happen.
And even this is not enough
If we have the right and power
to do all these things, would it not
be well for the President also to
issue his proclamation, and order
JEFFERSON Davis and the Rebel Con-
gress and all the army Of the South
to leave the country at once? ban-
ish the whole crew, horse, foot and
dragons? As to- the abstract right
of the President to do it, there
can be no doubt in the mind OF
any man wLo believes in the right
to abolish slavery by proclama-
nation. We all know the Presi-
dent, as commander-in. chief, has
to do whatever he can to injure
the enemy, to put down the rebel
lion, and restore the Union. What
could he more efectual than the
banishment of the whole South
ern army, including all capable
of bearing arms between the ages
of eighteen and forty-five, and all
male white persons as soon as they
become eighteen years old.
One more suggestion. The
President is very much hampered
by State rights; the Governors Of
the loyal States are often crochety
and sometimes Troublesome
Would it not tend to the great in
crease of efficiency in the Govern
ment, and the more speedy sup
preston of the rebellion, if the
President would issue his procla-
nation abolishing all State lines,
and removing all the States loyal
and rebel? Under the war power
he can do what he thinks neces-
sary to put down the rebellion,
and this last measure would be the
final death-blow. 1t has had sew
eral death-hlows, but this would
kill it dead.

The New York Times in the
course of an editorial, makes the
following remark:
} every one knows with what
keen interest any indication OF
hostility to t he Confederate
Administration, whether coming
from rebel Congressman or from
rebel newspaper, is received. at
the North tits generally account,
ed a token of dissatisfaction with
the war itself, and used here as an
i,,ducement to perseverance,. And
yet these signs, as we call them, are
comparatively infrequent, and ex.
Lceptional. They are simply the
utterance of rare individuals"
