EARLY "Reminiscences.
Copy of the Richmond Exam
liner Of October 8, 1861.

Officer Flick, OF the police force, has
a copy of the Richmond Examiner Of
October 8, 1861, which contains much
interesting matter, including the fol-
lowing card:
RICHMOND, Oct. 5, 1861.
The undersigned, to whom have been
referred the personal matters at issue
between A. Mosley, Esq, editor of the
Wing, and l.. q. Washington, Esq,
editor OF the Examiner, having carefully
read and considered the correspondent nee
between these gentlemen, as we'll as
the articles in the Wing and tho Exam
liner to which they refer, and believing
that there is no cause for hostile
meeting between them, Mr.. Moseley
having in that correspondence dis
avowed any offensive reference to Mr..
Washington, we recommend that Mr..
Washington withdraw the offensive
in the Examiner of the 4th instant.
VIM. c. CoRRIE, South Carolina,
MARMADUKE JOHNSTON, Virginia,
BAYARD CLINCH, Georgia,
ANDREW II. II. DAWSON, Alabama.
We assent to the above settlement.
II. JAS. DEANE, for Mr.. Moseley.
II. j. MACKEY, for Mr.. Washington.
Colonel Washington is now the Wash
ington correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch. Mr.. Museley, and probably
the other gentlemen whose names are
signed to the settlement, have all been
gathered to their fathers.
In this issue of the Examiner there
are published, as advertisements, four
columns of laws enacted by the congress
of the Confederate States.
Tho commercial report shows that
provisions were advancing rapidly in
price at that early day of the war. Ba-
con was worth "a cents and mo supply"
corn meal, bolted, rs cents; coffee, 40
cents to As cents, and no Laguyra or
Java on the market; lard, 25 cents; po-
tatoes, SLIPS; sugar, from 12A cents to 90
cents. Flour. molasses and whiskey
were cheap. The first-named brought
81 for family, tho second 40 cents per
gallon and the last from Sl.25 to 50, &C.
cording to age.

South Carolina Not Doubtful.

A Spartanburg g. O. special 10 tho New
York World SAYS: Although the Democratic
marty in this State is divided on State issues
into the Tillmanites and Conservatives. its
electoral votes will be cast for Cleveland and
Stevenson.
The party leaders regret that Western and
Northern newspapers persist IN CHASING
South Carolina among the doubtful States.
The zeal Of Governor Illlman. Senator lrby
and Alliance President Stokes at Chicago IN
behalf OF anybody 10 beat Cleveland gave rise
70 this talk. When they came home aud felt
the public pulse they came over 10 the Cleye-
land side and will vote for hun.
south Carolina is not doubtful State. The
Tillmanite newspapers say the Ihrd party
will have a strong following 10 the up-coun-
try. Spartanburg Is the largest county IN
the up-c0uutry and the Alliance mon OF this
county. to u man. will support cleveland eA-
cept. of course the few Republicans IN the
Alliance ranks who will go with their own
party. The Conservative Democrats ara oil
evidently for Cleveland They reloced IN hls
nomination, and have already held ra.iheaton
meetings. .,
Upon State issues Governor IlIIman, VINO
swept the State two years ago IL losing
ground. He is keen-wltted, breezy stump
sneaker. who captured the people by max
inc a campaign against alleged corrup-
ton in the state-House. Two years
ago he carried all but two counties.
He claims to-day fighting chance
in all of them. Several months ago he said
that he would rather go 10 h with the
Tillmanites than 10 heaven with the Conser-
yatiyesn That sort of talk catches his fol-
lowers. Still he has been losing ever since
the campaign opened.

The Senate.

Mr. Harris Dem, Tenn asked the Sem

had passed the House the preference in TAX
ing up business on the calendar from this
time forward.
Mr.. Aldrich intimated that ii would be time
enough 10 adopt this rule when the Senate
had before il some prospect OF an early adj
iournment. The present indications were
that Congress would be kept in session for u
long time and under the circumstances he
felt obliged to object to the present adoption
of the resolution.
Under objection the proposed agreement
failed.
Mr., Allison. chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations. reported the Sundry Ciyll

notice that he would call 1t up tomorrow.
