Mr.. EDIToR:-The importance of having supply
of salt to some small extent ascertained during
the last fall and winter. But that the demand will
be greater for the approaching season there be
but little doubt However successful the State
agent my be at Saltvile, Va, in making salt, it
must be conceded that theraroads cannot transport
the quantity necessary to supply the demand of the
State from that source alone. And hence the ira
pOrtance of using every opportunity that may be
offered to bring the salt that may be manufactured
the coast into the interior and also to encourage
its making by the State agent and by private COM
l1anies. This is important, for the reason that at
most places on the coast our people may be dis
turbed in their operations by occasional raids from
taeenemy. And for the additional reason that the
town of Wilmington may be visited with another
epidemic this coming season. This L sincerely
hope may not be the case; but it is not impossible
that this or some other cause may prevent our reg
ular communication with that important place,
where there is doubtless larger supply than at
any other dozen places in North Carolina; and pru
dence would suggest that salt should be made as
rapidly as possible and transported into those pla
ces where it is now, and will be most needed in
future, whether the same belongs to State or
to private individuals. Many persons are now with
out salt, and some who have bought salt in Will
mington cannot get it transported, and the families
and stock of such must necessarily suffer much in
convenience for the ofSan article important
to comfort and health. CAUTION.

DEAR SR:-Your letter in relation to your broth

has been received. You state that you wished the
report of his being deserter should be contradict
ed through the same channel by which it had been
published 1t is necessary to inform you that
list was called for from the Colonies of regiments
reporting all abSentees without leave They in turn
called upon their Captains for lists from the compa-
MES. These lists being consolidated were copiei at
my headquarters one copy furnished to the Gov
ernor, and another to the SherifS Of our.diferent
counties. The object of this was to force up men
whe, without excuse, were remaining away from
their posts. The lists we're not intended for pub
licaton, nor have ever seen them in print known
Of their being printed. The names amounted to
considerably oyer thousand from the brigade
Errors made by Captains could not of course, be
discovered at this office. have not seen the COM
municatiOn concerning your brother in the Raleigh
Standard nor the resolutions of the students of the
University, but while Colonel Of the Goth 4. c.,
knew young Snead, aud remarked that he was
soldier of fine promise. | know, alsO, that he was
killed at Sharpsburg while fighting gaanuy. 1t is
very much to be regretted that through the care.

have been sent forward the list of abSentees and

COTTON AND WOODEN CARDS.

R. S. Pool & Bro, are at present engaged in the
establishment of factory for making cotton and
wooden cards in this place. By their genius and en-
terpriSe these worthy men are likely to become
great beneactOrs to the people of this part of the
State in supplying these necessary articles Of do
lnestic use. To the elder brother we chiefly in
debted for the success so far attained and there
appears to be no doubt but that in two weeks we
shall begin to cards equal to the northern stamp
made here and sold at prices much below those sold
by persons who have bought them from beyond the
enemies lines.
What is remarkable as well as gratifying in the
enterprise is that the machine end all its parts have
been made blythe Messrs. Pool, assisted BY Mr.. j.
I. Jones. Notwithstanding its complication, the
machine appears to be perfect, and from the cards
already made specimens of which have been exht5i
ted in thus community, it must work well. Prepa-
rations for drawing the wire and for making the
backs, are being made. plentiful supply OF suita-
BILE skins and the cards can soon be had q

HabeRs COrnns.

We publish below q decision BY Chief Justice
Pearson, discharging NJ Llnebarger on a writ Of
hdbeas corpus; and also letter from Judge Biggs,
to. George " Strong, Esq, counsel for Mr.. Line,
barger, declining to entertain the case. Judge
Biggs, in deciding that the contract of substitu-
ton does not deprive the government of the power
or right to call other of the citizens to the public
defence" -overlooks the fact that the government
solemnly pledged itself to accept substitutes for
the war from citizens under forty6ve, without re-
spect to the ages Of the substitutes offered. The
Judge would have stated the case correctly if he
had said, that the government "does not deprive
itself of the power right to call other of the cit
liens to the public Defence" except where it e1-
pressly sipulates that citizens sOho furnish sbsti-
tutes shall not be liable. When law is passed,
and citizen complies with it for the timebeing he
hasacted in good faith, and is entitled to the ben
eft of the law. Any subsequent action, depriving
him of that benefit, is er post factO and in bad
faith. This, it seems to US, is a rule of common
sense and common justice.
We find the following notice in the Wilmington
Journal of the 21st:
ITO CoNsCRIPTs.-Judge Pearson, of this State,
having decided that parties furnishing substitutes
OseT Ih!TIy-uNe years, W0en the COnScrlpLlOn only
extended to that age, do not become liable them
selves on account of their substitutes becoming
liable under subsequent call, are authorized to
state that the Confederate authorities do not regard
Judge PearSon's opinion authority, and that per-
who have obtained substitutes, but subsequent
ly become liable through the liability of the subst
tutes, will be required either to enter the army
procure new substitutes over tho age of the pres
eHt call"
This notice, we presume was authorized by Gen.
Whiting 1t is COOL conclusive and contemptuous.
The opinion of the Chief Justice of our State is
tramped under foot by the military and the tyrant
who does so is careful to have the fact announced
in public. journal. The decision of the Chief
Justice, it is true not having been" pronounced in
open Court with the concurrence of his Associates
is not binding except in the particular cases which
are brought before him; yet the decision is ent-
tied to respect and ought to be conclusive with the
Confederate authorities. We suppose the "suthor
ity " which Gen. Whiting respects, and by which
he shapes his course, is that of Judge Biggs Ifso
the General will find himself much strengthened by
the luminous letter of the Judge which we give
below. He will find that Judge B. would not even
hear case of the kind referred to-

Ny DEAR SR:-If l correctly understand the
petition it is in behalf of who was liable to con-
scrption under the first act conscrptng all between
Is and 30. He hired substitute who was aoept-
ed and who was under 40; under the second act
the substitute became liable himself to CONSUMPTION
and the petitioner thus being deprived of his sub
stltue was enrolled, and is held liable to mill
tary service. 1 suppose if these be the facts, the
petitioner is without remedy, and it would be trou
he and expense unnecessarily incurred to grant the
writ / take it that the contract of substitution
does notdeprive the government OF the power or
right to call other of the citizens to the public de-
fence otherwise the means of defence by sdbstitu-
tion would be greatly weakened. You can advise
Mr.. Wilson that decline to issue the writ If un-
dCrstand the facts correctly
