I- . j ;1 i i i i f - Keport of the Committee on Salt. , The Committee to whom was referred the resolution in relation to Salt, have had the same under consider ation, and instructed nie to report : ' That, though they have no means , of ascertaining the quantity iof Salt required, or the precise amount on hand in the State, it is quite certain there isa great deficiency in the supply, j It is believe by your Committee that something near five hundred thousand bushels-will be required for the use of the entire, population, for one year ; while it is .doubtful if more than. one hundred thousand ' bushel is in the market, and probably less than that in pri vate hands. It is thought there is a deficiency; of three hundred thousand bushels, or more, and that pne half of this will be required in the next six- or eight weeks. ' ' . - i The only source from which any part of this defi ciency can be supplied beyond our own limits,' is at ' the Washington County Salt Works, near Abfngdon, I Va., and it is doubtful if one bushel from that quaiter can w furnished ibr ten that is'; absolutely necessary, At this establishment, about twenty-five hundred bush els is furnished per day ; but so large a section of coun try is dependent on it, that no considerable portion of ; Uhe deficiency can be expected from that sourcej It is true, that saltis being made in the remote portions of Texas and Arkansas, but entirely out of reach of our people, . " It is then certain that we must look to our resources and to the mapufacture of it on State account, on our. sea coast ; and though there is little being there manufactured, and no'tfe : for sale, enough has been dune to satisfy your Committee that an abundant sup ply can there be made, and at a cost greatly below its present market price. . .' ' ; : . , It is believed that it can be made and funjished to consumers for less than t-vo dollars-per bushel, even at this season of the .year, by boiling, while" it' will cost much less inpring and summer seasons, when evaporation by the atmosphere and heat of the sun can be called to our aid. , It is not believed that individual enterprise can be relied on to furnish any part of the supply, now re quired, owning to the uncertainty as to the blockade. Your Committee, therefore recommend -that pro.- vision be made for manufacturing and supplying to the people, of each county in the State, saljt at its actual cost; and to this end recommend the Appoint ment of a Commissioner, to be chargqd wjth'tLe whole j subject, and recommend the passage of the acompa nying Ordinance. . ' . J : - , ' All of which is" respectfully submitted. i v N. WVOODFIN, Chairman. An Ordinance in Regard to the Supply of Salt. ,: m '"' 1. Beit cti'dained, &c That a Commissioner be ap i pointed .by 4his Convention, to manufacture 'salt for the use of the people of this State, .at such ; place or places on some navigable water as he shall judge best, and that he furnish it to the people of each county at the most convenient depot i the railroad to such county, on the payment of the cost of manufacturing and transportation,.; which price shall. be paid on the ideli very of the salt., r ;,'.- , ., V 2. Be it further 'ordained, That the said Commis sioner shall have full power to employ the necessary agents and laborers, and to contract for materials, in . the name of the State, necessary in carrying, out the provisions of this Ordinance, and to draw upon the Puldic Treasurer, from time to time, therefor, not ex ceeding the sum of.one hundred thousand dollars. ?. Be it f urther ordained, That it shall btheduty of said Commissioner to proceed as soon as practicable to the discharge of this duty,- and as salt can be made, . it be -sent forward'.to the various depots on the several railroads in the State, or on some navigable water for the. accommodation of every section of 'the State, equally, and in such order as he may find best to meet the wants of the country. - : ; 4. Be it further ordained, That Justices of the Peace in the several counties, a majority heing present, in this State may meet at the Court House, in term, . time, or in vacation of the courts, and make such or der as they may prefer, touching the delivery, distri bution and paymeut forthe salt manufactured for the use of the people of such county, and to that end may advance the money out of the Treasury, of the county or otherwise : ; Provided, That" they shall not allow the silt to be sold on speculation, or for more than the actuaf cost. .-1 , Be it further ordained, That it shall not be lawful for any one to purchase more of the salt, so' made, , than he requires Jbr his own use, or for distribution, at the cost and expense pf-jtransportation and if any one shall purchase any salt so made, a"nd re-sell it for a profit, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; and on conviction thereof, in any of the County or Superior Courts, shall be fined cr imprisoned, at the discretion: of the Court.'. :i . : G. Be it f urther ordained,' That this Ordinance shall continue in forc and operation during the continuance of the present war; unless the Legislature shall other Ue it further ordained. That if the Commissinn- jr should die .or remove from the State. rpsiVn ' Or re fuse to act, the Governor, with the advice of the Coun cil of State, shall fill ,the vacancy. 8. Beit further ordained, That it shall be the duty of the Commissioner to make report to the Governor every month showing the progress of the' work, its cost, etc., and that the Governor shall lay such reports before the Geueral Assembly at the first session, aud they may make such order for change in the manage ment of the business and settlement with the Commis sioner as in their wisdom may seem right.: :. Another section provides that' a report be made to ,'the Governor in regard to the quantity, quality, to " whom delivered, &c, etc. , ' r ' t Here is another ordinance which may be of interest: It has not passed yet that we know of, but improbably' will.

In'.th Little Rock (Ark.) Tnie Democrat (jf the 28ch, we find the following important intelligence, which is the latest that could well be received here from Southwestern Missouri, and which to be perfectly reliable. : We learn from 'Mr. S. Bi Bennett, who reached - this place yesterday evening, bringing despatches from Major Gen. G. W. Clark to tjie government at Rich mond, that a battle has . been fought m Southwest Missouri, near the Kansas line, by General Rains, Avith the Federalists, m. which General Rains achieved a signal victory. He routed the Federalists complete ly killing and wounding about 200, capturing abouf 200 prisoners, 40wugons loaded with provisions and ammunition, and a large number of arms. Mr. Bennett also informs us that Gen. S. II. Mont gomery, long a resident of Fort Smith,, and brother to Capt." Montgomery, who had charge of the. Fort there when taken by the State, was among -'the pris- . ouers.captured." He was quartermaster in the Federal army. , ' . U; ' - . Gen. Sicgel, Mr. Bennett! informs us, was in full retreat towards; Iron ton or Pocahontas, -with about 15.000 menand Gen. Price was in hot pursuit with every confidence 'of being ablp to ovemke and whin him. - .- I A . The other pdrtion of the Federal army had retreated towards Rolla. . ' N This is glorious news froijn Missouri, and we ex pect more of it when next we hear from the gallant i rice. . How thy Crawl. A dispatch from St. Josenh's. says a band of. Confederates: under, the .notorious S. Y. Gordon, captured three United States o'nicers- Capt. RobbJ Capt. White, and Lieut. Mernlight from a railroad train at Western, ou the 29th. wise order ' iiansom's Cavalry in the Fight. The following letter has been handed to us tor pub lication. It will speak for itself ; , . . . Tor the State Journal. Centreville, Va., Nov. 27, 1861. ; Dear Father 00000 We got in a fight yes terday at Vienna. We came across one hundred of the Yankee Cavalry and the word "charge"" was given and away we went right upon them, killing several and wounding a good many. We took twenty-eight "prisoners and brought them to camp. We took all the arms they had. We got fifteen horses from them. They fired upon us but did none of us any harm. We came out of the big end of the horn safe, and "no body hurt." They were armed with Sharpe's rifles, and five-shooters andsabres. I never saw any body of men better armed. . Our boys fought well.- When Col. Ransom gave the word "charge," they went like they were in a fox chase and yelled all the. time we were after them. The enemy, many ofthem, were thrown from their horses or fell down with them. So they dismounted, and took it a-foot, and we shot them in the back as they run from us. We killed a good many and left more in the woods scattered about like sheep, but we got 28 of them. They are likely men and are well dressed, having on fine uni forms. We kept them last night with us, under guard, and this morning sent them to Gen. Stewart's headquarters where they will be hospitably enter tained for some time to come. Yankee-hunting is nothing but fun. It is a de lightful amusement to hunt them dawn the hills," across creeks and branches, and then bag them. Tiiey are worse than a gang of birds, for when scat tered they run in all directions. There is no fight in them, and it is, therefore, impossible to get one out of tLem, and to talk of such cowardly puppies whip ' ping us is simply idle nonsense. Tell Hugh Hayes I would like to have him with us a while to help catch the rascals, but I know he would want to kill all he got hold of, suchis their incorrigible impudence. ' It w s with difficulty that Col.- Rausom restrained bur boys from finishing them on the spot, and just as rob bers and murderers ought to be punished, but he suc ceeded in restraining their fury, and so they consent ed to take" them prisoners, instead of killing them. . They begged for quarters like hound puppies and honorable quarters we gave them.' But enough of j Yankees for. the present. . n Very affectionately, your son' ; ... : , JAMES. ;: Spirit of the Age please. copy. ! , i. For the State Journal. ,' Salt. Harrisburg, Cabarrus Co., N. C. Mr.'Tditor: Sir rAs the county is so much excited as to procuring that indispensable ingredient, salt, that plays such an important part in the economy of life, I wish to call the attention of "all whom it may concern" that in all probability there is an abundance of it in the county of 'Union, N. C. The facts are these: About 16 miles from Charlotte, on the Char lotte and Wilmington Railroad, there is a fountain winch has poured cut enough of the saline material to have salted all the pork that will be slaughtered this year. vl)avid Phifer owned this tract of land. The water'was so strongly impregnated with saline matter that the individual that lived upon the place would go and procure some of the water", and put it upon her fresh meat, which would season ft as well as the best Liverpool salt. Mr. Phifer being a man of wealth engaged a man to boar one hundred feet deep, which was done. The hole Avas four inches in diametre and the water flowed in abundance lor years. Whether it is still running or not, the writer does not know. Would it not be well for soma of our chem ists to pass down that way? I "do not know whether Prof. Emmons has ever had any knowledge of the fact, or whether he ever .was in that county. 1 '.- SODIUM. Facts and Rumors. The Savannah Republican of last Thursday says that a party of Confederates started for Tybee on Wednesday night and burnt the Light House.. The federal vessels commenced timing and shelling the Island, but the Confederates ' retreated unhurt. Six teen to eighteen, vessels were in the roads yesterday afternoon, apparently old whalers. Attack on Cario. On Sunday, the 1st inst., three Confederate gunboats went within gun shot of Cairp , and fired fifteen-rounds at Fort Holt. The Federals scampered out of their tents and would not fight. One gunboat anchored in the channel below- Cairo. Congress. On the 15th inst., Howell Cobb, in the chair as President. Win. M. Cook, and Thos. W. Freeman, members from Missouri, and Alex. B. Brad ford, in plye of Judge Clayton from Mississippi, took their seats. All other business was transacted in 5, secret session.. . . , - . Adjourned. The Virginia Convention adjourned sine die on Friday last. Peace to its ashes, It was a dispersed body and all rejoice at its decrease. " When ' will the North Carolina Convention adjourn. Arr-est of Beownlo w. A dispatch to the Peters burg Express of Saturday dated Knoxville Dec. 8, says that the infamous Parson Brown!ow has been arrested there for treason and lodged in jail, All "the harm we wish the Parson is thai; he may be well hanged. Suffering and . Poverty in the North. Mr. Roche, the editor of the New York Phoenix has ar rived in Duplin. He gives a deplorable picture of thea existing destitution and suffering amongst the working classes in .New York. With-many of the Irish in that city there is no alternative between en listment and starvation. And the condition of New York is no worse than that of other cities in the North ern States : the war has paralyzed commerce and in dustry everywhere. Mr. Roche, urgently dissuades his countrymen from the madness .of emigrating to America. Freeman's Journal - Do those who prate about the " United States" as a Re public consolidate, one and indivisible, ever re member that' the " United States" as such was never acknowleged by foreign powers, but that the treaty of Paris, in 1783 recognized thirteen sovereign and independent United States, among which were Virginia,-North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.? Charleston Courier. , Arrival. The Tampa Peninsula, reports that ' the English yacht America arrived at Jacksonville, Florida, a few days since, bringing over some English army officers. . . Death of R. M. T. Hunter, Jr. R. M. T. Hun ter, jr, son of Secretary Hunter, died at his father's res idence in Essex county, Va., on Thursday last. He had been sufiering from ill health for several months. The deceased is said to have been a young man of ex traordinary promise. t Contracts for Hog3. The Knoxville Register says on official authority, that the agents of the Con federate Government havo already contracted for not less than six hundred thousand hogs in East Tennes scc' aloqe. : The' Register adds: , " - : The number in the hands of speculators it is impos sible to estimate, and we liave reason to believe there is yet also a considerable number in the hands of rais ers, as we hear of contracts being made every day for future delivery. Wc believe that East Tennessee has produced pork enough to supply the whole Southern army for the next twelvemonths, independent of the great hog raising regions of adjacent States. The San Antonia (Texas) Herald says tfcat many of the Unionists that left that place last spriing for Mon tery, Mexico, have becomeas much disgusted with i their new homes as they were with thos they left at San Antonia, and are leaving for California. A large force of Federals are opposite Evansport with bridges prepared for conveying troops across the ; Occoquan creek, evidencing a determination to land.
