EsR It is stated that the enormous freight
charges on the Railroads prevents Supplies of pro-
visions from reaching the various cities and towns
of the Confederacy. A correspondent Of the Rich
mond Enquirer speaking on this subject: says:
"Permit me to tell the good people of Richmond
one great reason why your market is so bare of
country produce. Here it is: On all sach
ticles as we send in baskets, buckets, boxes. &c
the freight on the DanvilIe road is from six to
eight times as much as we used to pay the wagons
in old times, before the road was butt, and then
half as much to bring the empty vessels back
again, making the cost Of little box about as
much as we used to pay on a hogshead oftobacco"
We suppose something prevents provisions from
coming to market, but it is not always the railroad
freight, (though that is unnecessarily high,) but
an indispostion on the part of producers to SELL
It seems that some Of them would suffer their
grain to rot and the people to starve before they
would SELL There are enough provisions in the
Confederacy to supply all if those who hold sur
plus would sell it.
Crops IN Texas The Houston Telegraph of
February 10th, says:
''The weather is extremely favorable to farming
operations We are glad to learn that planters are
power. We believe that plowing is being done all
over the country, and in of our low country
lands, corn planting has already begun Ii frost
does not effect early planted corn any more than
it did last wear, that planted now will escape he
best crops we saw in this region last year were
planted in the last week in January"
n9g@ IF we at home perform duty as faith
fully as the soldiers the tented field and the
battle ground, it will not be long before peace and
comfort, ease and happiness, shall revisit our
homes, and the bright of prosperity again,
shine over our land in it's efulgenee, lighting up
with happy smiles the countenance of her indie
pendent sons and beauteous daughters
FIREs.-We understand fire occurred at
Cherokee Ford on the 18th ut. The Furnace,
Rolling Mill and Iron House were consumed; and
it is reported that the Nail Factory also Ge-
stroyed. Loss very heavy.
We learn that the dwelling house and kitchen
of Henry Moss of York District, S. c., was CON
sumed by fire Monday night last All his
wheat and corn burnt, and nearly all his fur
niture.-Shelby Eagle.
