How to End the War.
From tho Memphis Appeal, Oct. IA

FROM tno MempnH dPpeaii ooV' II
We need heavy infantry as well as cav
airy force to operate upon the rear lines OF
the enemy in Tennessee, and if President
Davis is fully convinced Of the truth OF the
remark he is reported to have made, We
have right to infer that he will place at
the disposal of the commanding general a
force adequate to the task he is expected
to perform. The army of Rosecrans should
never be permitted to recross the Cumber-
land Mountain in safety even if the troops
have to be drawn from all other points to
prevent it. If held where he is he will be
compelled either to surrender or Starve du-
ring tho winter, as from all the information
we can gather from the best informed, it
will be impossible for him to provision his
army at such distance from the base of its
supplies.
The path of duty is therefore plain. Co.
operating together, let the Confederate and
State governments Of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi concentrate all their ener-
gies and available resources for formida-
BILE and prompt movement against Rose
Grams, and before the Christmas holidays
are upon US we may behold the enemy on
the retreat to the Ohio, and spend those
days rejoicing that the backbone of tue war
has been broken. So mote it be.

Hogs and Corn Enough, But
no Salt.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist

The Augusta Constitutiona1ist says-Salt
must be had, or the supply Of meat next
year will be much less than this year.
There are hogs enough ana corn enough to
make for the next year more bacon than We
had heretofore, but unless salt can be got
the bacon will not be saved. Clearly then
tits our interest 10 increase the available salt
supply as largely and as quickly as possible
1t Is not yet too late for farmers and plan
ters make their own salt aed some tOspare.
The salt brine of the Atlantic is abundant
and easy of access. Numerous companies
and individuals have been al work for
months past and they have found it ex-
tremely profitable. But their number
should be increased and that soon. October
is an excellent month for salt making, gen
orally dry and healthy, and people from
any section need have no fears of going
now to the coast.

prospect of success. The capture OF large
| wagon train, recently reported. is very good
as far as it goes, but will hardly change the
aspect of affairs. The promise held out OF
Ia tremendous concentric canonade upon the
lenemy's position is not hopeful of great
results. To us here, who are Cognizant OF
the enemy's power in artillery, the Difficult
hes of keeping up such fire for any length
of time, and the comparative insignifcance
of the effects upon earthwork defences,
such as protect the enemy at Chattanooga,
expectation is feint. Nor to our view is
there reasonable probability of General
Lees drawing back again to Virginia and
Marylandithelreinfef going to Rose
Grams by an advance upon Meade's army.
That experiment has already been tried
The grand forward movement to Gettys-
burg was made to weaken Grant and fruS
trate the enemy's campaign in Mississippi.
Itfailed fits effect on Western affairs. Sowe
fear another advance would turn out at
this juncture.
According to our crude and imperfect
apprehensions, Tennessee is LOW the great
central point of this war, and every effort
should be made to give strength and etf1cl
ency and success to our forces at 'Ant point.
Failure there will be terribly disastrous -
Would not the speedy reinforcement OF
Bragg's army from Lees an Johnston's and
Hardee's corps enable him to cross the
Tennessee and strike crushing blows at the
collecting forces of the enemy, and upon
Rosecrans himself? Tennessee once fairly
delivered, should 9 not have passed the
crisis of the wsr! These suggestions are
thrown out t, our readers for what they
may be worth. We do not profess to know
what is going on. We are glad President
Davis has gone to Tennessee, and trust that
good results for the West will come out OIL
the consultations, besides anything con-
nected with Generals Polk and Hindman.
Matters are critical, aud wisdom is needed.

9TheTwo Young CIays.

HENRY and THOMAS CLAY, sons Of HENYY
Clay, Jr, who was killed in Mexico, have
both died in the army since this fearful wal
commenced, the one Federal the other q
rebel officer. , Who can think of these
two young, ardent, brilliant brothers, so
lately mortal enemies, now sleeping quietly
in the grave. dug by grim war, and not sigh
for peace-sigh for the storm to pass, and
the calm sunshine of better days to come?
There is something peculiarly touching in
this sad incident. Its bare mention softens
the asperities of ones feelings. The bro
theirs have lain down together, and the pres
tige even of their great name, such is the
fearful whirl and confusion of embattled
hosts in the land, will hardly rescue them
from oblivion. Yet we may profit now in
the reflections suggested by their sad end
They were brothers Ordinarily the state
ment of this fact in connection with their
death would occasion no unusual emotions.
They were brothers who died lighting, IN
the saddest war of all tins, against each
othsr the one to dismember, tns o,her to
maintain that Union whose magnidcence
and stability were the never-dying theme
of their glorious old grandfather. This
fact is what makes the mention of their
death food the memory with the recollec-
tions of the better days of the Republic,
aud causes a wishful looking towards the
horizon where the sun of peace must sooner
or later usher in the second age ofour pros
perity. Are we not all brothers who are
fighting each other in this frightful war;
Do we not all profess to be Christian,
civilized people, derived from the same
loins, and bound to the same great futureE
WHY, then, should we butcher each other
like mad fiends from the neither regions to
settle the questions of boundary and Gov
ernment? Such thoughts will come, and it
is useless, nay, more, it is criminal to
suppress them. They are the impul-
sions of our better nature, and will not
''down" at our bidding. The course though
Of the Government seems to US, and We say
it sorrowfully, calculated to stlfe the ex-
preston of our longings for peace and make
war the chronic disease Of the nation. In
stead of being affected and mellowed by
the melancholy effects of war, the heart of
the Administration grows harder aid its
passions fiercer, 1t aggravates instead OF
alleviating our national ills, and changes
great and magnauimous government into
vindctive tyrant, threatening de-
,tructon instead of offering mercy.
We would not ourselves counsel peace
fatal TO the life of the Republic, but we
would remove every obstacle in the way of
an early attainment of an honorable com
promise of our national troubles. 1t is use
ls., TO enumerate what we consider those
obstacles now are Our readers are already
ware of our views upon that subject. "The
Powers that be- however, seem a present
determined to prolong the war until peace
shall come only in the habiliments OF the
tomb, and the North and South. like the Two
young brothers we have referred to, lie
down together in common grave.

FROM THE ARMY OF THE
POTOMAC.
The Confederates ReerOss the Kappa
hannOck-Heavy skirmishing - Major
Ta2gart Killed.

The following is frem the Washington
Chronicle:
During Friday night last the enemy con-
structed two pontoon bridges, which they
laid across the Rappahannock, near the Or
ange and Alexandra railroad bridge and
the next morning, Saturday, a large portion
Of their infantry crossed and drove back
Gregg's division of cavalry. and subsequent
ly engaged with TWO brigades Of our infant
ry, respectively Of the second and third
corps.
Fora halt hour or so the contest was
quite sharp, both sides losing aconslderable
number. Among the killed is Major q. f.
Taggart, of Philadelphia, of the Second
Pennsylvania Cavalry, formerly on KiIpat-
rick's staff He was fighting gallantly, and
was shot in both knees. and died while hav-
ing bis legs amputated
The enemys left now rests on Beverly $
Ford, extending to Stafford Court House,
their right wing being we'll hanked by cav.
airy. Their line crosses the railroad near
Bealton Station. Colonel Devin's brigade
of cavalry also participated in the fight of
Saturday, but sustained itself with little
injury.
The National Intelligencer says
The statement, semi, officially published
in morning paper on Saturday, affirming
that Gen Meade told the President at their
interview on Friday that he could not al
vance for three weeks, as the repair OF the
Orange and Alexandra railroad would re
oure that much time, is contradicted. 1t
is said that the statement ais ascerta'ned to
be entirely without foundation
Further Particulars.
The Washington Star Of last evening,
says:
We have rumors of fighting on our front
on yesterday and o-day, but nothing be
yond rumors up to this hour The impress
sion seems to be thIt if Lee is really on
this side Of the Rappabannock with infantry
he means to fight, and as Meade, 1t Is well
known, is quite in the mood TO accOmmo-
date him if he seeks a collision, it is not
improbable that such collision NAV be
brought about.
The army correspondent of the New York
Times builds up an elaborate theory to the
effect that Lees late movement was simply
to push Meade back sufficiently far to ena-
bic him to send unObstructed the bulk OF
his army to reinforce Bragg. The rebel de
monstratons on Saturday hardly square
with this theory.
The Washington Republican says:
If Lee is upon this side Of the Rappahan-
mock with his left resting on Beverly Ford
and his right extended to Stafford Court
House, as morning cotemporary positive
ly asserts, there must be battle immedi.
ately For if Lee should march straight
ahead he would soon be between General
Meade and Washington. 1t is possible that
be intends to try flank movement upon
our left. as he did few days ago upon our
right wing. If he makes the attempt he
will doubtless be foiled by Gen. Meade, as
he was before.
