At meeting Of the citizens of Asheville, held

whereupon Coils. j. A. Fagg, Stephen Lee and B.

mittee.
After . few moments the committee, through

but in the correspondence read before the Legsla-
ture at its last session, Mr. Davis says that he did
not know that there was disloyAlty in North Caro-

ton to the published there are good
grounds for the belief that private correspondence
has been carried on between governor Vance and
the President in which Vance has charged disloy.

they need not vote for Vance expecting to find in

The works are now in good condition-better
than they have been for some time past With the
present arrangement Of Hatting instead of hauling
wood, confidently expect to be able to reduce the
price from $1S to $40 per bushel. The three fats
that are now running are working admirably, but
having only just commenced, have not yet felt the
relief they will afford in the reduction Of teams
Within the next three weeks shall be able to dis
charge at least twenty two-horse teams.
The greatest drawback now labor under, is the
difficulty in obtaining corn and forage and trans
portation for the salt find it almost impossible
to get corn 1t is quite out of the question to make
equal distribution of the salt for want of trans
portstion.
The works at the point where the enemy made
their late rad are not yet running, on account of
delay in getting the pump and engine repaired. I
hope to get them started in the early part of next
week. The cost Of repairing will amount to about
$4,000.
My impression is, that salt will be very scarce
and very high before the next pork killing season.
At least threefourths Of the private works on this
coast have long since suspended, on account of
scarcity and difficulty in obtaining supplies and
labor and the long distance they have to haul wood
These difficulties and obstacles increase every day,
The present market price $685. will not induce
them to resume their work.
There are now employed at and for the works
about 270 men. OF this number, about 40 are DER.

Gent to carry on the whole of the works These
are always more or less unasoidsbly absent some
on accoun. of sickness-while others, especially
married men, who have families entirely dependent
on them for support have to go occasionally to look
after and provide for them, and get clothing for

in force estimated at 100 to $50 men. They were
not discovered till within so yards Of the works

shells into the furnaces. They did but little dam

and get them in position again. II / could pump

the works on the Cape Fear to advantage. The ex-

ties me that it will not do to make salt on large
scale, on the Cape Fear river.
The flats have built and am now building for
carrying wood through the sound to the works, are
so far, working to my satisfaction, and will enable
me to dispense with a large number Of my teams,
and diminish the cost of the salt.

discontinue the works, rather than move them to
