FORTY-NINTH REGIMENT.
TO THE SALT COMMISSIONERS
For the seseraz Counties of North Carolina.

for the seierdl Counties OF North Carolina.
It may be known to most of you that our rail-
road communications with the Salt Works in Vr-
ginia are, and for some months have all been, in
terrupted by raids. [ now take this mode of in
forming you that in consequence of this suspen-
sion OF transportation the purchased in North
Carolina in the Spring and shipped for the State
Salt Works, is yet on the road, at Petersburg and
elsewhere, while some remains uhshipped.
The consequence of this is the suspension of
manufacturing Salt during the greater part of the
summer at our Works, while all other manufac-
lures hare been entirely suspended, and it is be-
leVed most of them must continue in suspense, for
want OF provisions Hence. Salt must be scarce
and command high price, and especially as the
Works on the coast have suffered SO much by raids.
In view of these facts, ask you each to send
forward wagons wherever it is practicable, and
send grain out by them.
You will be allowed two bushels of Salt for one
bushel of corn, Wheat or Rye, and one bushel for
bushel of Oats
The teams can carry twice as much as will feed
them, and in most cases more. Then the remain
ing half will pay for full load of Salt.
But if each wagon will bring one third or one
fourth of load of grain, it will give an abundant
supply.
Please make it known to your citizens that the
same terms will be made with any of them who
may seho on lhelr own account. We give prefer
ence to the countless but must have grain and have
no fear that we will get too much, or that it will
come in faster than the Salt be made to ex-
change.
We have on hand between five and six thousand
cords Of good dry wood capable of producing at
least one hundred and fifty thousand bushels of
Salt. This wood must be hauled, and for that pur-
pose we want additional teams, and under the late
order of the Conscript Bureau, none will be detail
ed as transfers who are under 45 years of age. 1
therefore ask each of you to endeavor to send me
few men between IS and so years old, that [ may
at procure them to be detailed to haul at the
Salt Works. :

FROM PETERsBURG.

Nothing whatever Of interest has occurred on
our lines since Saturday. The usual picket firing
and mortar shelling took place. but these have now
become Of such common occurrence, as to fail to
! attract attention
Some persons whose imaginations have been
doubtless much quickened by the event. OF
Saturday last, state that the enemy are still mia
ming, and give as reason therefor that they can
see them brin ging the dirt from their Ffsaps" and
depositing it in the rear. The general impression
seems to be- that the enemy had but one, and that
thew expected greater results from that than they
have realized. 1t was manifesty to their advan-
tace, and they knew it as we'll as we, to nave
srrung all their mines simultaneously, if they had
more than one. There are but few points along
fully conducted, and Of these has been already
tried We think, therefore, that this mode of
warfare, is about at end with Grant.
\ Yankee officer who accidently got into our
lines Monday morning, during the cessation of
hostilites, was returned yesterday under flag of
truce His name, we learn was Thomas, and his
rank that of Colonel. We think it would have
been good idea, to have kept him in rebel COM
paDy for while, as slight punishment for his in
discretion.
The enemy freely confess to a loss Of 1000 from
all causes, in the fight of Saturday. Pending the
flag of truce Monday, sundry Yankee officers
clearly shaven, rugged in full uniform, and donnir 6
spotless white kid gloves, came out the neutral
ground and with all the vanity of a peacock,
strutted boldly around. Among others; was a
Gen. Feucro, we'll known in New York city, as a
coxcomb and dancing master. General Ferrero,
commanded a Brigade of negro troops. He &C
knowledged that he brought over 2200 ebony SOL
ders, aud that but 900 returned to the Yankee
lines unhurt IF this dancing masters statement
be true, it doubtless is, the gentlemen of Afri-
can Scent must have suffered heavily During
Saturday and Sunday nights, the enemy avaiIed
himself of the darkness, to remove many Of the
severely wounded near his line Of entertainments,
but Notwithstanding this. stealthy movement,
mauy still remained Monday morning, who had
laid there since Saturday, beneath broing July
sun, and furnishing for water and food -Ieters-

TALKING ABOUT MATTERS WE DO
NOT UNDERSTAND.

The Griffin Rebel, in commenting on the recent
change in the Army of Tennessee, makes some
most judicious and timely suggestions for the
benefit of that class of malignant or crazy persons
who profess to know everything and abuse every
body who does not act up to their programme.
We copy the Rebels article, which all would do
we'll to read:
The ARMY OF TENNEssEE.-The country has
heen taken by surprise by the supercedure of Gen.
Johnston with Gen Hood, and some of our friends
are somewhat disposed to render themselves rdi-
culous by inveighing against act, of the causes
of which they know absolutely nothing. They
affect to believe shat the country is ruined and
everything must now drift loosely along. We
caution persons pursuing course, which is calcu-
lated to get up panic, to be on their guard, or
they may repent their folly, and are in great dan
strued.
We call the attention of these persons to two
facts. First, the President is man who is always
able to render satisfactory reasons for an act. He
is in better position to judge Of the situation
and the movements of the army than private indi-
vduals are. He is governed by patriotic motives
IN such emergency, because he has much
higher stake in it than any private individual
whatever.
Knowing more and having higher interest to
act right, than any person whose business it is to
carp and make panics, it is probable too that he is
man of more enlarged and comprehensive views
than many of these persons In the second place,
VIC wish to call attention to the fact, that the Gen
eral; by whom General Johnston is superseded, is
one of the most gallant and successful officers in
the Confederacy He enjoys, the confidence Of
President Davis and Gen: Lee, under whose eye
he has won his renown. The Army of Tennessee
will be safe in the hands of such man. Looking
to the interest of the country, see no rea-
son for the terrible passion into which some have
dashed themselves, and we kindly, but earnestly,
counsel them TO hold on until they can know the
reasons which have impelled the President to this
movement. 10 the meantime let them keep cool.
We know that Gen. Johnston enjoys the love
and confidence of the army, and we believe de-
servedly. We believe him. to be able to accom-
plsh as much any other man, of what he un-
dertakes. But his policy has been doubted by
many, and We presume, though we are not fully
advised, it was upon this point that the President
and himself have differed so widely as to necess-
tate change. The policy of the campaign is
important to successful issue as the good execu-
ton of plans. 1t is the undoubted right of the
President, as Commander in Chief, to regulate
that policy, aud we believe him competent to the
task
He would be recreant to his high duties, if he
were to allow any General to override or neutral

ize we'll matured and settled military policy of
the government, however popular with the people
or the troops he might be. Generals are created
to execute the plans of the War Office, not to die
tate them or carry out their own policy. When
there is difference in policy, the General must
succumb to the Executive, else there could be no
harmony, or responsibility, no settled policy.
