Much of this immense :upply has been at that point for some time ; but the railroads are not prepared t-, bring it away.

There are said to be a htindred thousand l.ushels of sal, on the line of the Virginia and Tennessee lIailroad; and the capacity of the Salines of Smyth County is equal to the manuincture of ten thouaand bushels a week.

During the ensuing October Court it is likely many of our subseribers will hive occasion to visit this place, and those of them who are any wise ludehted to us are urgently requested to call in and settle.

Learning that the wires on the telegraphic line wre down in various pneeces. and that cunmuni cation might not be opened in time for the Au gusta papers of Tuesday, we did not send our usual special messenger this week. It is our study not to disappoint our readers in this respect; they will of course excuse us under the circumstances. Election for Congress. Au electitiy is said to le going on to.day for nweiber of the Confderato Congreis from the N incty-Six )istrict. But rume say this is not the day. There is a strange confusion about the b~usiness. Our imopresion is that this is not the day. Bank Liberality. We under.tand that the Batik of Hamburg will lend money to be used in purchasing hogs in Tennessee and Kentucky.

They... ar. ..akitm M aicne on an extensive scale To Our Soldiers. A second edition of the September gale, revised and onlarged, has been issued from the caves of JW'lu since list we addressed you. The w ork war etnbellishe.d nith s.niu stirring episodes, of fulling trees, scattered fencing, toppling buy stacks, drenched pea-vines and storm-beat cotton pods. In this imnmediato vicinity however the story was not one of serious disaster, except per haps in the item of storm cotton ;-of this there will be a good deal. And yet some of our plan ters were keeping up with the picking tinely. Mr. P. R. B..uoc had out last Saturday nearly sev enty bales, more than half of what he expects to make. Others bave done as well no doubt. A few, it may he, were diverted to saving hay; yet, from what we can gather, there has been a decided rush in the cotton tields, and a very respectable portion of the crop will soon be ready for wuirket; -but there turmes the rub,-where is tie market? In llatuuhurg and Augusta a few loads have been sold at about S cents per pound. Nothing but the stern necessity of meeting some siecial demands can cause our people to sell at such rates, while the ruling prices in the out.-ide world are elimbing towards 30 cents. -Neeessity"-ysy u know the old raying. We must eat if it takes t cotton bag to buy a middling of bacon. And it certainly takes a dollar now to buy three pounds in this im mediate liulity. You never heard of the like of beef we now corstme. So far, we can say with the young lady at Dr. Mt.enus' school when called on to say grace over breakfast one winter morn ing: "The beef is rough, The beef is tough, lint thanks be to hiaven We've beef enough." Not so tough either in all instances. The piney woods have afforded this sumter some beeves of really tine quality ; and Mes.rs D. CuntsrtAY, L. t'OvAtt and others are supplying this particular market at the present writing by tri-weekly butch erings, of the Genue Bus, which do credit to their Onterpriso nud energy in the feeding line. Now in tuost that we say of tghit living, un derstand us as speaking of ''tr pour little con tracted and circumscribed village life. Out in the open, free and indclie:pdent hotcs of the country proper, we very well know that this feeding pres sure is felt but little. It is the glorious secret of our ability to assert and mnaintain our indepen dence, that our country is a country of farmers and planter=. Not only is this true in reference to the spirit and energy that backs our . ood cause, but pr-emtinently ao in that it gives us as a peo ple the cottus und preri-ion basis upon which we can never know the word " fail." True, our ag ricultural masses are at this time cautious and, if we may so speak, reticent of their substantial re sources. There is a sort of sublpanic among them in regard to certain undefined hard times that may yet be corning, and each one holdsand strives to Increase his resources. lIut this, we believe, will all work for the general good. It's tendency is to keep the country chug full of the means of subsistence; we believe it is so now, except (pos sibly) in the article of hog-meat. And it is to be doubted whether the scarcity of this article will be seriunsly felt for tiny length of time. Every hog in the country, little, big, old and young, is now undergoing a course ofcorn, slops, cow-peas, or other remedial nutriment, vigorously applied. It will be pushed on with arithmetiena progression fruta now to January, and still on from January to March. And who can estimhte the quantity of pork, bacon and lard that will result in the grand aggregate ?-Yes, we repent. it is the farming sub strattn of our country that gives us security for our present success and the certain prospect of of teod and clothing come what will. Knowing this and feeling it too, there is no disheartening dread of cvil in any piortion of our Southern c'im imunitiee. The Great atnd Good Father above Iliniself says to us, throtugh the .social itnd econn mic system of the South which lHe hnn o signally blessed and pirospiered, " lie q/f goodi er~cr ;" and thus encouraged, how rnn ire fainst by the way ?

When the .licrenry " volunteered for the work" of assaultiag Fort Sumter, it dis tinetly appears not to have b:eu under the guid ance of an all-wise Provi.dence. Wh'le:a the .Ilr curs "expressl impatience at the lotng drawn out dipslotacy and unnece-sary delay in attacking Fort Suatter," it was clearly not in the Provisien tial line of our sdeliver~atce. I'ort Sumter brought I war and war throttled te.constructioue, but the I .lercnry's s " impatience" might have produced nua altogether difierent result uud- was no part of the Provideutial ordering of events. It. dues seems to us, according to the .t/crenely' t own showing, that there never was a clearer il. lustration of the text : " The ,vere tuht Lae a c oalta sat 4 if GH." However this may be, every fair wind must perceive that the bungling efTort to detract frot the ability of our authorities, nous', is utterly futile in the face of rnets and results, as thus far develued in the history of the Confed erttc States.

For convenience, the boxes should not be too large; and for safety they should not be too small. I would therefore saggest that the boxes boo of such weight that enn be managed with ente by two persons, and marked thus: To Capt. , 7th Rlegiment. S. C. V., Fairfax Station, Va. In care of J.

J. QUATTLEDAUM. For the Advertiser. To the Public. Our names have been placed before the peop!e by a kind friend, without our knowledge, for seats in the legislature. A disinclination to avoid res ponsibility, has constrained us to allow this an nouncement to remain, as made, for two weeks. But as it appears that there will be no vacancies up to the meeting of the Legislature, and possibly not even then, we respectfully authori.e the with drawal of that announcement. In assenting to it by our silence for a tim, we were fair from deg i ring to displa.-s those gallant men who were the choice of the people for these positions of public service ; And we trust that circumstances may in some way enable them still to discharge the du ties of their civil posts.
