THESTATE eURNAL-. EALEIGH, N.C WEDNESD AY, NOVEMBER 20 1861. r From the Wilmington Journal of Saturday. r r essThe ConventionSalt. On Monday next two important bodies are about to reassemble, the one at Richmond, the other at KalcX The Confess of the Confederate States at Bichmoml, the Convention of the State of North Oar- WeawStSc;il the attention of these bodies, espe cially the last named, to a matter which is rapidly acquiring the most formidable proportions and assu ming the gravest character salt, v - . . Salt waf selling here on the tenth of4as . Apri I at the rate of 75 to 90 cents per sack. What it is selling for to-day would be unsafe to state, since there is no knowing what pointit may reach before sunset.- There iscertainly no limit. We suppose it would be stating the thing very mildl indeed, were we to .jay that salt has risen twenty-fold. -We would nut yen- , ture to say that it has not stopper rising. . And ail this withVan hour's dru-e of. the bnney ocean, which roars.-around our coas for h frMj miles. Is it not.ay little strange that it should be so ? i With "fair appliances and reasonable investment of capital who doubts that salt could be made trom sea water at a very reasonable cost ? A very consid erable portion of .the silt used throughout the world is produced from sea water by evaporation. The salt ofTnrks Island an4 of other points m the West Indies if so made, and we see that as late as April last it could be brought here ana soia, sac auunyw iu 90 cents per sack of .nearly four bushel semg not over 20 cents a bushel." We question if e salt cost , more than half that where made. Professor Thomas sey is confident that salfccan be produced on this coast J after the process shall have got into full operation at 6 cents per bushel, r ' , ,',"'. Cl It is admitted that there would be immense profits realized from the making of salt at rates i nconcei vably lower than those whnow rule, and still more so as compared with those hiqli are likely to rule, if the machine keeps traveling urTsuch a steep grade as that which has already brought it Wits preseutdizzy height. The reason given why those who now make salt charge so high for itancl whf others do not go into it, is the risk supposed- to be attached to the investment. Those in the business say that inasmuch as the blockade may -oe raiseu at "j muv,- "r . . fi,.m.lv Ainl "et their monev back in the Aut tmifi. . The same considerations 'which prevent those in the.Dusiuess ironi gomg mw it extensively, aiso irocm - t o into it at all, so that really the few salt works on the'--' coast' have ho visible- effect iarestraiuing 'speculation or extortion. j .

'JF The Grand Jurors for the County of Currituck re spectfully present, that, although conceived in spir - it of justice and humanity, the law commonly known as the Stay Law, passed at the 'late session of the Legislature, is not only incapable of accomplishing the ends designed by its framers, but is the fruitful source of fraud and injustice ; that, instead of relieving the poor soldier enlisted in his country's cause, it re ally oppresses him by preventing the collection of debts due him at hme, upon which he relied for the, support of his wife and children while he encountered the hardshins and dangers of the field ; and that, in short, the wrongs and injustice- of the said law are in finitely greater than any advantage that can flow from it. - 1, . : The Grand Jurors aforesaid, do, therefore, respect fully petition .the Convention of the State of North Carolina (soon to assemble) to repeal, alter or modify said law, to the end that individual faith and credit the only sure foundation of State faith and credit may be preserved, and a healthy tone be given to the business transactions or trie people at large.

Is it not quite necessary that the Southern .States should endeavor to make an excellent cotton cloth to supply the place of woolen cloth which is scarce and cannot be purchased iu a sufficient quautity for any price ? Would not our heavy Kersey (four treaddle) answer as a most excellent substitute? It is thicker, more durable and warmer than anything that can be gotten, in a sufficient quantity, for our soldiers. Thousands of yards of this cloth can be made in every county in this State of the very best qiulity. . , : . ;i The warp can be purchased at the stores or factories and the w oof can be spun upon our common spinning wheels aud,woveu in at home. . This will give employ ment to many po" r peope that will be as profitable to thein as it will be beuefieial to our soldiers.- Will not our .committees- of safety in the various counties in this State give this subject due consideration, -and offer a reasonable price for good Kersey's? Let this -b.iitefi a,ssata,!Je wchejojsteirojn- be lined, and you would never hear of Southern sold iers suffering for want of clothes. If they will give this cloth a fair trial, lam sure it will dot be many months before many soldiers will have been clad and made comfortable by the King of the South - ' A- SPECTATOR.

Jlis noble heart reached out in long linesrof kyduess and drew all to his favor. : 1 He regretted to leave us and the new symptoms and evidences which almost daily occurred ; to convince hiia that it was his duty to do so, only! lowered his heart in sadness.

The deep laid schemes to destroy the railroads in East Tennessee on Friday night last, by an organiza tion of Lincolnite traitors, extending from Bristol to the Georgia line, resulted in the burning of the fol lowing bridges: The bridge over the Hiawassee river at Charleston on the East Tennessee and Georgia railroad. The bridjje over Lick creek, oa the E. T. and Va. railroad. The bridge over the Holaton river at Uuion on the E. T. and Va. railroad. - Two small bridges on the Chickamauga creek, on I the Western and Atlantic railroad., j ' The telegraph wires were cut at various places be tween Knoxville and Chattanooga, and Knoxville and Bristol. '. The bridge at Strawberry Plains was saved from the torch of the vile incendiaries by the fearless cour age of a poor man named James Keelan, who shot one of the rascals in the act of applying the torch, and ' wounded another. The man whom he first shot is since reported dead. (His name was Wm. Pickens, son of the late State Senator from Green and 3 other adjoining counties. 1?oor but faithful Keelan had one hand cutoff by the ruffians, and was otherwise dan- : gerously wounded, but be is likely to recover. It is said that his fidelity and courage has never been ex celled by amy man in any country, the days of the revolution not excepted. A liberal subscription is in progress for the benefit of himself and family. Six of the incendiaries who burned the bridge over Iiek Creek have been captured, and are now in prison in Knoxville. They ought to. be sent to eternity with out judge or jury, their guilt being fully established. It is rumored that large numbers of Union men are arming and mustering in Blount and Sevier counties to protect the bridge burners. Also that 1500 Lin colnites have taken the field in Bradley and Hamilton ' counties. N CAPTURE OF MESSRS. SLIDELL AND MASON. ' Commodore Wilkes, U. S.

T. Herald, Nov. 2. " Paris, Oct. 18. I was not mistaken in the infor mation I gave'you in my last, as to the favorable re port of Prince Napoleon had given to the Emperor of what he conceived to be the chances of success of the South. The fact is now uotoriouss and the language he has held to more than oue of the Ministers here niakes it evident that, in his belief, the Union is bro ken forever. It is easy to see that the government journals have become more Southern in their views since his return. The " Constitmionel," of this morn-iug- inserts a letter fiom Manassas, flatly contradict ing all that has been . said about scarcity of food or difficulties of any sort among the rebels. - We are all watching with the most iutense interest your military movements, and whatever may be the ! view's of the Government, I am now mcre than ever, satisfied that all popular feeling is, off the side ef the Union. Prince Napoleon told his cousin that he did not believe ' j ' 1. In the power of the Federal army to gain any important victory over that of the Confederacy. 2. That, admitting the possibility of the fact, it would on the morrow of victory be as far off its ob ject as before. ' ' ' ' j 3. That 'the whole Union, as comprised by the Northr was a rope of sand. He gave his voice in fa of an early recognition of the South. I have not the slightest hesitation in stating this, as I am sure my in formation is authentic.

Nay, ''am by no means sure that even a victory and rout under the auspices of General McClel . Ian would alter the matter. The Orleans Princes have caused a great outcry in : Europe. The English press cannot . forgive them for - sidiug with the Northern States iu the present strug gle. Such an example, it is felt, will have great moral ; effect on all Europe ; aud the secret, and uuderhanded, the vile enemies of our glorious country spit out their venom at those uoble Princes those unfortunate young men, deserving of praise and commendation, instead of the abuse that is showered upon them. , Late Northern News. . - i The following items " are condensed ' from the New York, Herald of the 12th. ; Important From Western Virginia.

She was of ! about 2,500 tons, and after Vaiuly endeavoring to ride the gale, got aground on a shifting sandbar. Not withstanding the incessant exertions of her officers and crew she had to be abandoned, and all hands, includiug officers, soldiers and amen, were compelled to fiud shelter on ttie shore, as best they could. The vessel was afterwards boarded by a detachment, " by order of the' commanding officer, and blown up. The reason of this proceeding was not known. It was impossible for the wreckers to reach the vessel. The Track of the Barbarian. The robbing propensities of the Lincoln soldiery iff Missouri have' been indulged to such an extent that even the ab.)li- i tion press is b(?ginningto fear the consequences of such unbrideled plundering as has obtained, and to'urge a restraint. The following from the Missouri' corres pondence of the Cincinnati Gazette, gives but a faint picture of the outrages that have been perpetrated upon the people of t Missouri, by the hirelings who have been imported to subjugate them. The writer, who was with Fremont's army,' 'says :- " In my last letter I spoke of the inauguration of the foregoing system, and the disappearance of feathertd bipeds, etc., from the face of the earth hereabouts. I . regret to say that the practice was carried to extremes by soldiars-and officers, until Gen. Fremont iclt bound' for the reputation of the U. S. Army, to put a stop to it. On the road on Thursday, last, we saw regi ments of troops passing along, thrdefourths of the members of which carried dead turkeys, geese or chickens on their ba'ohets. . Nearly every army wag ou we passed contained a couple of hogs or calvess Worse than all, many soldiers killed stock at farms, and left nine-tenths - of the carcasses to rot on the ground. Houses were entered and depleted of victu als; whether the occupants were Unionists or Disnn ionists, the soldiers seldom stopped to inquire, , As suming an authority never given them, they plunder ed everything and anything. Such a state of things .'. could not long exist without bringing disgrace upon our army and our cause." . The Chicago Tribune, Lincoln's old Illinois organ', copies this statement, and not only admits its truth fulness in every particular, but makes other charges against tne reaerar lorces, Saying tuat the track of our (the Federal) columns in Missouri may be known by the converts to secession that the outrages ofour (the Federal) soldiers have made," and that "just such scenes have attended the march of the Union" troops in almost every place where, they have pene trated." The humiliating confession is made ; by the Tribune that when "General McDowell moved out to Bull Run. the line of march ..of his arniy was mark ed by wanton and needless devastation; and only a. lew days ago, Gen. McClellan's men after following up the retiring rebels-r-were severely reproved for their destructive and felonious propensities' and it is added that "Hurlbut's troops in Missouri eclipsed them all by the variety and extent of the outrages they committed."
