sar Postmaster General Reagan pre-

B8- Postmaster General Reagan propo.
ses that the price Of postage be increased,
and that newspaper free exchange be cut
off. This is with the view of increasing
the revenues Of the department, and thus
complying with the provisions Of the Con-.
;federate Constitution requiring it to be self
sustaining.
The cutting off of the free exchange Of
newspapers will probably add FIVE thousand
dollars to the postage revenues of:the Con-
federaoy. To the large newspaper estab.
lishments it will make little difference, but
may seriously embar.ass some of those in
inferior positions that are now sustained
with difficulty.
Whether increasing the rates of postage
on letters and papers will increase the ag.
gregate revenue, is somewhat doubtful
1t will bear hard upon the soldiers who will
have to pay it out of eleven dollars month,
or the, soldiers family, who have few re-
sources in his absence, but to Others, we
SUPPOSE it will make less difference.

SKIRMIsH ON THE BLACK Water
On Tuesday morning the 10th inst, about
eight hundred Yankee cavalry, under Col.
Speare, came up from Suffolk to point on
the Black Water, near Franklin, and
charged upon two companies Of South Ca.
rolina sharpshooters, who were supporting
piece of artillery. They were fred into
by our men and soon scattered in every d.
rection, leaving two men dead on the field
and two others mortally wounded. Eight
of the enemy were taken prisoners-among
them o captain. These men report a large
number Of their companions wounded
Not single man on our side was killed or
seriously wounded. This skirmish is re-
garded by all as q very brilliant little af-
fair. 80
We further learn, from direct and re-.
liable source, that the enemy are being
strongly reinforced at Suffolk. .-Petersbury

DECLINE IN GoLD.-In Richmond on
Wednesday last, Gold declined 50 per cent,
falling from s4.25 to s3 rs premium
This sudden and heavy decline vas no
doubt owing to the wholesome effect Of the
passage of the currency bill on that day by
thesSenate. Now let Congress Immediate
,ly pass a tax bill imposing the very heavi-
est taxes upon The people, and such a tum.
Bile in the price Of gold and Of every
thing else will take place as has never
been witnessed in this country. Such bills
as these will soon withdraw from circula.
ton large quantity ofthe Treasury. notes,
and will consequently reduce the price Of
provisions and of all uecessaries of life, for
it is an indisputable fact that the exorbi.
tant prices Of everything now demanded,
are owing, to a great extent, to o redundant
currency. - Raleigh Register. 21st.

AVALUABLE AeoEssIoE.--The Charles

that Mr.. Thomas Birpham, a Lieutenant in
the British army, and creole of the Brit.
ish West Indies, arrived there the other
day from Barbados, and has gone West to
take service with Genera! Morgan's oaval.
ry. Lieutentaut Birpham was educated in
England, and is well informed and highly
educated. He expresses the opinion that
the final success of the Contederacy, which
he looks upon as already accomplished, will
eventually break up the Abolition party in
England as we'll as in America. he repre-
sents all the creoles in the British West In.
dies as deeply sympathisihg in our cause,
and that they hope to see slavery establish
ed among them.

FROM THE WAR.

The past week affords nothing of interest
to our readers. Every thing at Charleston
is quiet, and in Virginia the bad weather
has induced the Yankees to be as "asey as
theycan;" in other words, in the vernacular,
we might say, as the Irishman did of the
terrapins. ttthe bastes have ma muckle
speed. " The Impressment bill has passed,
but case has occurred to restrain the
same, from an inferior court, as the public
e1igenoy did not demand it; the latter is a
case. 1.'s;
Our readers may have heard of "great
affairs" since our last We publish facts,
only, and thus have no long lists this week,
of great fights and their contradictions.

Report of the Attack on Port Hudson
MOBILE, March 16.-The 4rtbane has
the following special dispatch from Jackson
dated the 10Th:
From Fredericksburg.

We saw last night an officer who left
Fredericksburg yesterday morning. He
reports all quiet. There were no indica,
tions Of an advance Of the enemy, and all
the rumors and talk of his crossing the
river have given way to the impression that
there will be no forward movement for some
time to come. All the stir and hustle in
the enemy's camp have subsided, and every.
thing was quiet on both sides of the river.
Desertione from the enemy are becoming
very frequent Not day passes but de,
serters come into our lines. 0a Saturday
night, our sentinels were aroused by a noise
in the river, quickly followed by several
voices, "Don't 'fre"-"don't fire." In q
moment or two seventeen men delivered
themselves up as deserters, having eluded
their guard and swan the river. They said
they were tired of the war, and that there
we're hundreds in the Yankee camp who
would come over to our side if they could
get the opportunity. They repeated the
old story of decentralization IN their army,
and on being asked when their army inten.
ded to make forward movement, they re.
piled, very emphatically-"Never; our
men are too much dissatisfied and in too
bad fix to fight"
The condition of our army is said to be
splendid. Our men are hopeful and in the
best of spirits. Oar informant said that
he had been in the army since the war be-
gan, and that never did he know our men
to be in better trim for battle. Everything
wore a cheerful aspect in camp, and the
only unpleasant feeling with our men was
the thought that while they were doing all
the fighting, exposed to the weather and
bearing the burden of the feld-Richmond
was filled with hundreds of gold.laced and
red.capped officers, who do nothing but
promenade up and down the streets with
their knee.boots, loll at the theatre and
faro banks, and splurge at our frst,class
hotels, to the great admiration of the negro
waiters.-Rtchmond Examiner, 18th.

from the Houston Telegraph in regard to

Abolitionists and seized upon every. town

| and daughters of soldiers families, repre-.
senting that they had been deprived OF
anything to eat for several days but corn,
perambulated the streets until they came to
provision store One of them asked the
price of bacon, which she was told was
sl.I0 a pound. She demonstrated with
him, as to the iupossibility Of females in
their con ';tion, paying such prices for this
necessary of life. He remaining inexora-
Bile in his demand, this lady proceeded to
draw from her bosom long navy repeater,
and at the same time ordered the others in
the, crowd to help themselves to what they
liked, which they did accordingly giving
preference to the bacon, until they had ia.
ken, SIS we learn, something like $500
worth.
Truly, this is horrible state Of affairs,
when Southern women are reduced, or In
duced to such extremity. The reader is
probably inclined to hold up his hands in
holy horror, and exclaim that this is but
an isolated case. 1t is not.
In Salisbury, N. G. on the 18th inst,
mob (says correspondent of the Char.
lotte Bulzetm) consisting mostly Of soldiers
wives, and led on by hunger, and hatred
against speculation, armed themselves with
hatchets and congregated at the depot for
the purpose of breaking in, if necessary,
for the purpose of getting some -four stored
away by some speculator. But, the idea
struck them that Mr.. NJ. Brown, who has
bought more flour than any one else in the
place, and perhaps has been the means
through which -four has taken such rise
in the last few days, had good deal on
hand, they marched through the street to
his store and demanded to be let in, but
the door was closed and they went to work
in good earnest to break it down. Mr. B.
to satisfy them, told them that he would
give them ten barrels if they would leave
and let him alone. They finally agreed to
it, and sent for dray to haulit to the mar
ket house, for the purpose of making an
equal division oft.
From several other persons they obtained
-four and salt, and some molasses, when
they repaired to the depot which was closed
on them, and demanded admittance; the
Agent refused, but finally agreed to let
three of the women in, and said if any more
got in they would have to walk over him,
when large, starlwart woman made at him
with hatchet. He backed and they roll.
ed out ten barrels of -four that was bought
by a man in Charlotte, and had it thauled up.
Had it not been for some mean persons
iu the crowd it would have done a great
deal better; bur some one or more in the
crowd took good deal of scotch snuff from
DR.. Enniss.
We do not expect such state of affairs
to happen tn-ttis State, where all mob law
is ignored, but We trust, with the cores
pondent alluded to, that "this work will be
the means of persons exercising more SYM
pathy for their fellow men. They cannot
save their souls by money; SO what is the
use of so much work to get the almighty
dollar"
