cy, and something like fair prices. But
there is another yet to be5taken, asis seems
to us, quite as necessary and far more eff.

aiding the border. People believe the whole
blockade.running business is yankee trick,
and that if our enemies are not directly In
terested that they at least make ga good
thing out Of it" Be that as it may, it has
been and is full Of injury to the people and

THE NEWS.

The Southern Guardian, of the 9th
inst says, the dispatches inform us of the
defeat of the army Of ifghting Joe Hook
er." His feiut in crossing a considerable
force lelo,o Fredericksburg last Wednesday
and SO engaging our attention was clever
thing. And bold thing it was, under
cover of this movement, to place his main
army across the RappaDaunock by Kelly's
and other fords, fifteen or twenty miles O.
bore Fredericksburg, thus securing a po.
sitiou on the flank Of Gen. Lees army, par
allel to the Richmond and Fredericksburg
Railroad, and extending from Ely's ford on
the Rapidan to SpottsylVania c. H. This
was a happy avoidance of the well fortified
hills and slopes near Fredericksburg. But
the execution Of the maneuvre has not e.
qualled the design. While Gen. Early
took care of the defences at Fredericksburg,
Gen. (StonewalD Jackson met the column
which had so suddenly swung round upon
q our left. CleYerness and bravery have not
availed against that thunderbolt of war
: Gen. Lees dispatch is full of meaning and
tells the tale of the signal defeat and rout
of the enemy.
All will grieye that the glorious Jackson
has received severe wound and will pray
that he may be Speedily and completely re-
stored. :. -. ,

= CONSUMPTION OF FoREIGNERs.-So Some
two weeks ago Mr. CLAY, Of Alabama, in
troduced into the Confederate Senate a bill
to conscribe and place in the military SER
vice all aliens domiciled ins the Gonfeder-
ate States, on aud after the first day Of
June, 1868. The bill was partly consider.
ed in open session and then transferred to
the secret calendar. On Saturday the in.
junction of secresy was removed and the
measure has been defeated. The danger
that an attempt to conscribe aliens would
involve US in difficulties with foreign ma
tions, is said to have been the argument
that killed the bill

1t becomes, our duty, however long We
have struggled against the necessity that
has now come on u.s. to make such new
terms as will secure the continuance of our
publication. The high price of paper, and
the difficulty of procuring it at all, has been
1 felt throughout the country, and now it be-
comes necessary for US to follow suit with
the other papers Of the State. The price
of subscription to the ENQUIRER will here
after be Three Dollars per annum, in ad-
vance, and Of advertising ST per square, of
ten lines, for each insertion, and nothing
counted less than square. Clubs of five
or ten will5be received at 50. The size Of
our paper is as large as any in the, State,

useless advertisements-the matter is stu
diously chosen with reference to the times;
and we have spared no labor to make the
paper what the District requires. We have
held on as long as justice to ourselves would
allow it, to our old terms-mo,o we rest our
claims on the friends of the paper for con-,
tinued support, assuring them that none are
so anxious, as we will be found, to return
Af

These terms go into effect for the future;
the fact may not be known, but it is so,
that.the imprinted sheets costs us almost the
price charged for the paper, and the arsi-

BLACKBERRY WINE.-The following is
said to be an excellent recipe for the man
ufacture of superior wine from blackber-
ries:
Measure your berries and bruise them'
to every gallon adding one quart OF boiling
water; let the mixture stand tWenty.lour
hours; stirring occasionally; then strain
of the liquour in cask,, to every gallon
adding two pounds ofsugar; cork tight, and
let stand till following October, and you
will have wine ready for use, without any
further straining or boiling, that will make
lips smack as they never smacked under
similar influence before. -. i T., - )

The s15,ooo,OOo BoNDs.-Mauy per-

high prices which these command as com.
pared with those of the sl00, 900, 900 loan.
The export duties on cotton cannot be paid
in Confederate notes, as any one may see
by the conditions on their face. They must
be paid in gold or silver or the coupons of
these S15, 200, 900 bonds. These latter are
therefore sought after by blockade runners
as eagerly as specie, and prices have run
up accordingly. =

RUNNING THE BLoeKADE.-The i'm
preston prevails that there is q system of
collusion praetised between the blockadipg
feet off Charleston harbor and those block
ade runners who bring in Yankee goods,
embracing such things as give neither aid
nor comfort to our army nor strengthen our
means of defence in any manner. It is in
ferred that this system is practised because
all the vessels captured by the enemy are
freighted either with Government stores or
things intended for the supply of the army.
No list of the vessels seized or destroyed by
the blockaders has been published. Such
a list would throw much light on the sub
,ject. 1t would show whether the impress.
sion generally entertained is correct or not.
Another alleged fact which adds strength
to the suspicion of this. collusion is, that the,
vessels laden with cotton and naval stores,
which the Yankees need SO much, are sell
dom, if ever, obstrncted in their outward
voyage to the West Indies. q
IF there is enough in the facts to Justify
this impression-if the wealth Of the coun.
try is going out to benefit Yankee manu-:
.faoturers, and the blockade spectators are
running in only useless gewgaws, and goods
that may be dispensed with, while the
things necessary for the army are intercept-
ed-the matter is worthy Of the especial
notice of the Government. A little inyesti:
cation will easily disprove the suspicion or
confirm it, and the subject is Of sufficient
Importance to demand it.-RicAmond Dss-,

FROM SUrFoLK.-On Monday last a
heavy skirmish, initiated by the enemy, oc.
CURED near Suffolk. It seems that the en-.
emy attempted to drive in the pickets on
the right Of our lines, when sharp en-
gagement ensued, which soon extended a.
long the entire line. The enemy were
finally drivensback, leaving on the field a
portion of their dead, some seven or eight
of whom were found in one locality. In
this skirmish Thomas Danzey, of the Fay
cite Artillery from Richmond, was wounded:
The same company had three horses killed.

Monday last was sale day, but the wealth

small. In all quarters of the District the
prospect is very good, and "if the rust does

largest ever known. The corn is doing
well and viii be abundant, as will also the
pea crop. In the way Of fruit, peaches will
average very we'll, but the apple will be
short The other evils We have to contend
against this season, besides those incident
to the weather, is the innumerable Ghosts"
