Jackson, MISS, Oct. Goth, '62. -
There Is much contraband trade
between Jackson, New Orleans.
and Memphis, and people pass in
and out every day. A French sub
iect offered 10 bring out from n. O.
1900 sacks Of salt, il 1000 bales Of
cotton would be allowed to 20 IN.
This would be to give equal 70 500
Give hundred) for each bale, but
Government has stopped the ex.
change as contrary 10 an act Of Con
grcss. Great distress now prevails
on account Of salt, and crowds Of
planters are hocking TO Jackson,
having heard that cotton would
procure salt.
The town Is now full Of cotton,
and grievous is thcdisappointment.
The Government has however,
taken possession Of q salt island in
Louisiana and will put on it 2O00
negroes to supply the demand.
Without salt we shall have hut
little meat, unless Kentucky is
opened IL now sells in certain To-
calities at 100 dollars per sackl
