What base villains our northern brethren" are T
TURPENTINE IN FRANCE.-Before the war,
France and other countries drew their supplies of
turpentine, rosin and tar mostly from North and
South Carolina and Georgia. The war having
stopped the expectation of these articles appears
that the French have gone into the turpentine
business ION their hook" The sandy region
south of Bordeax, known the Landes inhabited
by rather destitute class of people las all poor
tons of country usually are) abounds with the pine
tree, which is now being worked by the French, and
large quantities of turpentine produced. The
owners of the land have suddenly risen from pow
erty TO afaence, in consequence of the high price
which turpentine now commands in Europe. Here
tofore they could compete with the expectations
from the Southern States, but they realizing
immense fortunes from 'tar, pitch and turpentine"
It is IN i'll wind that blows good.
u Col Mallett, the commander of the Conscript
Camp at Raleigh, has issued the following order
dated April 9Th:
Notice is hereby given that instructions hive
been received from tho Bureau of CONSUMPTION, that

RULE TO WORK BOTH wAYs.-An old gentle |
man into office the other day. expecting
to get the paper for two dollars a year. When be |
found that the price had been advanced, he said he
couldn't stand it. In order to be accommodating, I
we told him we would do as had done before the |
war, take two bushels IF corn for years sub
scripton. But he not willing to trade in that
way because he could get SIS Sc for the corn,
and that would be paying more than asked for
the paper! Exactly He could why he
should receive three times much for his corn but
could not see Tor did not want to see) why we |
should ask one-tEird OR nehaf more for our work.
The old gentleman was willing to work the rule 10
way, but not in both ways, though it cost him
but little if any more 20 raise his since the
than before, while printing materials have twice |
trippled in price. So wags the world.
2. S.-Several others have since come in and |
paia their four dollars with the remark that the |
price ofnewspapers had not advanced in proportion
to other things; and old friend who had already
paid for his paper, came back and offered us an
additional dollar. Some people willing to let
others live as well themselves.
