ARRIVAL OF THE UNION CAVALRl

At about ten O'Clock yesterday morn-
ing two squadrons of our cavalry entered
the town at a charge, just as the rebel
rear guard went out before them. The
charge was made through the main street,
partially with drawn sabres, and part
with pistols. Although there was great
deal of dust kicked up. and much noise
and firing, there was not any particular
damage done, either IN the way Of casu-
alities or captures.

For tho Advertiser.


Mr. EDITOR ;--AtShe present time, while &C
much is being said and written upon tie subject
Of the Aigh and extravagant prices realized by
farmers and planters for their productions, it
weuld he we'll to eift tho matter SO as to enable
us to judge correctly before cond.mning sny
class.
IN the 6rst place, take asur at s2C0 FER barrel,
and salt in exchange at so cts. per lb, Ono bar.
rel Of -four will purchase eight Bushels Of coast
salt; formerly at $40 per barrel j. would have
purchased from SIX to seven sack, oS eighteen
co twenty bushels'O of Liysrpool suit.
Next take corn at fifteen dollars per bushel,
and osnaburgs Mt three dollars per yard. One
bushel of corr will purchase FIVE yards, formerly
it would have purchased eight yards. Should
you wish to make your own cloth, you will have
to give at lesst S+5 for q pais of cards fperhaps
inferior q. that.j To sell bacon 1T three dollars
per lb. to purchase cards you will have to sell
ifteoa lbs. Of bacon to purchase one pair; former
ly you could hsve set . pair Of best No. 10 cot
ton cards for about four or FIVE lbs Of bacon.
Fowls aye considered high at from'six to eight
dollars pair, with which you can purchase
pound,sugar; formerly you could have got from
two to three pounds with the money for which
you would sell d pair.
Fodder $50 per 100 pound; and calico IS per
per yard; g yards Of calico for 100 lbs Of fod-
dsr,-formerly it would have purchased sight
yards of calico.
The farmer must have iron. Lst US cast about
and zee xhat he can sell 70 best advantage to
make His plantation rurchases. Take sorghum
syrup at $eOp gallon; one gallon will purchase
four pounds; formerly one gallon would have
purchased ut lest SEVEN pounds.
Writing of Sorghum Syrup, reminds me Of tie
capital. required to commence operations. An
iron mill $3.50, three lvilers, sixty gslons each,
at 500 piece, will make capitul Of $I,lcQ, to
successfully make Sorghum Syrup.
Mr.. EDi-es, IN conclusion, Pe:m;t me to cay,
while produce and manufactures lave arisen to
sucs high prices, the Edse2ed -Asreiis-r asS
not 4 pit even p,cs IN price. Ju.t consider he

been easy. and We might have reaped the
benefits sf our many victories on laud and sea.
The Union was originally formed by the ex-

of tie Union in all its integrity is. and must
continue an indispensable condition in any

probable that the present adversaries are

taught by the traditions of the American
people, consistent with the nonor snd inter-
