One active sPecuIator, in breadstuffs,
says the Macon (Ga) Telegraph, is q
more effective and dangerous foe to the
Confederate cause. in our opinion, than a
battalion OF Federal troops. He does i'm
men'e mischief himself by stimulating
prices but he does a great deal more by
stimulating the spirit Of specuIat;on-for
