New Subscribers

We mentioned some time since that
there had never been a time III the his
tory of the "Spectator" when its sub
scription list was increased more rapid
ly than then. Since tina. time, there has
been no refux ofthe tide, but the stream
of new subscribers has increased its
flow, and continues to augment its vol
ume. This is gratifying to us, as it
shows that our efforts to keep our read
ers ''posted up in the current events of
the day have been appreciated by the
public. The only thing we have to re-
greet is, that the prices of materials, nee
essary to publish a paper, have increas-
ed so enormously as to leave a very mar
ron margin of profit, and if they in
crease much more, we will lose money
on every issue.
We will then test the question,
"Whether an Editor, like the chameleon,
can live upon The air alone" We know
that many persons seem to think so; at
least, that is the Interpretation we give
to their conduct, for they never furnish
him with the means of buying anything
mora substantial, though they devour,
week after week, with great voracity,
the mental food he furnishes them, nice
ly wrapped up and sent to them in a
paper. This, we are satisfied, results
not from design, but from thoughtless.
ness, on the part of the subscribers; for
if they would think for moment they
would conclude that, however Editors
may differ from ordinary human beings
in many respects, they must have raj
ment and food, and to get these essen
tials they must have money, and, in these
''fush times" a great deal of it. II
those who are indebted forseveral ycal S,
subscription do not heed this gentle
hint, we will conclude that they wish
Us to try the chameleon test.

We learn from the Petersburg Er

bout eight hundred Yankee cavalry
under Colonel Speare, came up from
Suffolk'to a point on the Blackwater,
near Franklin, and charged upon two
companies of South Carolina sharp
shooters, who were supporting a piece
of artillery. They were fired into by
our men and soon scattered in every di-
rection, leaving two men dead on the
field and 2 others MORALLY wounded. OF
the enemy were taken prisoners-among
them captain. These men report a
large number of their companions
wounded. Not a single man on our
side was killed or seriously Wounded
This skirmish is regarded by all as a
very brilliant affair.
We further learn, from direct and
reliable source, that the enemy are be-
ing strongly reinforced at Suffolk.

A Word alb, Distiiieries.

We have been informed that d:stille
rles are now in active operation, not only
in this county, but in many parts of the
Conftderacy, consuming tho grain that
is absolutely necessary to prevent many
of the people from suffering Is this so {?
We know nothing of it of our own
knowledge, and now call attention to it
that those. whose duty it is, may exam
inc into the truth of the allegation. II e
charge is, THAT most Of the distlleries
are in operation, and that the owners OF
them claim to have contracts with the
Government, when the truth is, that but
fen of them have such contracts" The
proper officers should exert themselves
TO ascertain the truth, or falsehood Of
this charge. and should have the utmost
penalty Of the law inflicted upon its VIC
lators. There is much doubt in the
minds of the people of the wisdom of the
policy Of having liquor distilled for the
use of the hospitals, as it is probable
that the most of it is used by those who
do not need it as medicine, and for
whom it was not intended, and if it be
true, as alleged, that it gives opportuni-
ty, (of which many avail themselves.
for the practice of fraud to any consi-
derable degree, there can be no doubt
that it is productive of more harm than
good. To have the staff Of life, at this
time when SO many are in extreme need,
converted, in violation of law, into the
shane of life", is a crime against hui
mainly, and sin against High Heaven
Those who are guilty of this offence
should be Brought to justice, Each cit
izen should feel it to be his duty to re-
port to the proper officer every man
whom he knows to be engaged in the
distillation of grain in violation of law,
and the officer should perform his duty
rigidly and faithfully without ''fear, IA
vor or affection" Let those who are
thus trampling upon the laws of their
country, and who are bringing want
and dis ress upon tile poor, be exposed
to the just indignation of the communi
y, and the severest penalty OF the VIC
lated laws. To expect the "Given of
every good and perfect gift" to bless
our fields with fruitful harvests, when
we pervert their products to such sinful
uses, would be sacrilegious. The smoke

The Examiner says that it is now
thought propable that battle ON grand
scale is even nearer to hand in the Car
olinas than at Fredericksburg. The
preparations Of the enemy indicate that
a great effort is about to be made to cut
the communications between Charles
ton and Richmond, and that attack, with
which the former city has been so long
menaced, is about to be made by land
as well as sea. A great army, ais we'll
as an enormous feet has been assembled
for these purposes, and their employ
ment in action cannot be much further
delayed. For some time past the battles
and maneuvres of the enemy have been
repetitions of battles they had fought a
previous periods, and maneuvres which
they had unsuccessfnlly tried before
But we are now, perhaps, to witness a
new scene in the war.
