'From the General oider, No. 37, by Oen. Cooper, Adjutant General or the Conlcdciate States, published elsewhere, it would seem that there Is a prospect of disagreement between the Confederate Government and the * StaTc ol South Caiolina, Georgia, and perhaps other States, in relation to exemptions from the , .effects of the late Conscription law. We hope ( tliatyoor Governor and Council will have tho ins pcu|iic ui toe sca coui uiali let* win devote i their energies to tlio making of Salt, they will I confer lasting henefiu upon country, and at the same lime enhance their own intercut*. I Since writing the above, we observe that the Governor and Council have passed some very 1 commendatory resolution*, to the effect that, | person* engaged in the manufacture of Salt in I this State shall be entitled to be paid by the SlaAe lor all losses sustained from the enemy, i by deatiuction or capture of the salines, boil- i era, or other inve*tment iu said manufacture. ' The Governor and Council also resolved that < an advance of not exceeding Five Thousand j 4utiars will be paid to any party engaging in the Sail busineM, who wilj give bond to pay the same in salt, at three dollars per bushel, on or before the first day of October next, Tiiis liberal and timely action of the Gover- ' tier and Council, should induce euergetic ac- ' lion in lite Salt business, by persons residing 1 near the sea coast. If proper energy is dis 1 played, we have no doubt but that a sufficient quantity can l>e made to supply the wants of the State. While on the subject of salt, we will append the follow .lift in relation thereto, from Hie Uor\ I ry iJitpatck published at Conwtjburo, S 0.? It is nut encouraging, but we hope thai the late action ol the Governor and Council, abuse refencd to, will tend to largely increase the roaiiulaciuie ot salt in that vicinity : Nuuieious inquiiiea have been addreased to i us in relatiou to the purchase of <<ali at this , place, in teply to which we would sute that we kuow ut no sail, here, for sale. The enterpria- | iug piopiietois ot the salt works in this vicinity are now engaged upon a couuect with the Bute, and in ttlling orders long since received. who are in immediate need ol salt, and canuot wait, bad beat come over and boil lor thrmeelvea.

We learn from various sources, that there arc still a considerable number of families in Charlesion, who desire to leave the city, but who have not yet succeeded in getting temporary homes in the up-couutry.. To such, we would suggest that a cheap and pleasant homo, for as many as seven-live orohe bundled persons, niay be secured at the Hanging Hock Mineral Opting* in I his Distiicu The place is at pi cs- ' cut untenanted ; but the pioprietor, Capt. Jas. M. Ingram, oilers, either to rent the whole to1 gelher, or the cabins and looms separately. It has llie advantage of valuable medicinal wntar, as well as oilier living advaut ages, iqual to any place that we know ol in the up-countiy. It is located on the Stage roai, leading I16111 Caini den to Laucasville, -7 miles above the former place and 11 miles below the latter. In ibis connection, we append the following suggestion from the Courirr iu relation to the tempoiary occupancy, by refugees, of the Meth' odiat Can.p.(hounds ill the interior of the state, it ia an appeal to u denomination ol Christiana that ha? never yet been known to turn a deaf ear 10 the culls ol the needy in distress. We .believe that the people of the interior should extend every considerstiou oi kindness and welcome to pciaons, whom the casualties ot war have driven from their homes, at iucalcu i lahle personal and pecuniary sacrificdf Their necesitoua condition should.protect, rather than subject them to the opeiations of a snirit of ex torliou. We should, a< a christian people, be willing lo supply them with .nudes ol necessi- ' ty, un tciius that will ioinuiiiiaio the Heller, without irleiviiee to the almost fabulous laic* | which pievuil in Home localities. [Pi out the Charleston Courier] It has been staled lo ua by thoughtful friends that several ol the camp ground* ol the M. E.

' How to Make SaltA pamphlet entitled : "llow to make Salt , from Sea Water; by Proleaaor John LeContc, , poldiahed by the Governor and Council ol South ( Casoliiin," ha* been piesented to u* by Col. Jows 11. Witberapoon. In this section of the State, U can, of comae, have no practical value; but in the lliftiicts bordering upon the sea coast, the instructions given in this pamphlet lor making Salt, would indeed be impoitnnt, if the people will avail themselves of ihciu. Various methods arc .submitted, each very simple in respect to prepatalion or expenditure. If I Is it Bight t A gentleman stated in uur office a few days tgo, that he had, oa that day, paid one dollar tnd twenty-five cenU per bushel For corn, to a neighbor, who resides a few miles from this place ; and that there are those who are emit* ing in the prospect of the price going up to two dollars per bushel, before a great while. It is well known to all that there was an unusually large crop of corn made in this section, last cason ; that the common price throughout the Kali and Winter was Iroiu sixty to seventy-five cents per bushel, and that it was geneially believed that these prices, in view of the heavy crop that was made, were ainpiy sufficient to remunerate the pioduccr for his labor. In ibe lace of there (acts, may we not pertinently enquire, 'is it light' for the producer to demand a dollar and a quailer tjr his grain now, mid hold out the idea thul he will take us much iuoic as the impmious wants and necessities of the consumer may oblige liiiu to give v We remember that shortly alter the beginuing of the blockade ol our Ports, there wus a great cry of cxtoitiou against the urei chants. It was Haul that our inercbanU, (we icier particularly to our own town and District) hud raised upon goods that they had puichased prci rious to the blockade, and the farmer* were not Uuckwaid in censuring this coui sc. as unchristian and unpatriotic. The complaints against the inerchaiits weie perhaps exagcrated : at til events, it seems to be generally conceded now, thai they have sold out their old slock without any very material advance upon lire old prices. Itt our limited purchases from 'hem, ul the old stock, we have not observed any advance itt price at all. There is no doubt of the fact, that the merchants of ottr town have been selling their goods at from one to five hundred per cent less titan they might have realized lor theui in Charleston or Columbia ; while the furmens have been selling their pork and beef at a considerable advance over pi ices that ruled in this market before the war. We can, of course, (eel no special interest in the reputation ol the metchants of our town; certainly none over the planters and lailiters, lor the latter embrace the most numerous class ol our friends and patrons. We speak, as a public journalist, lor the gctieial good?for the truth of local history, ami to adinouiMi the producers of prorisions that they should not practice a system, which they hare ?o severely condemned in others. Is there to be no limit to the pi ice of provisions ? Cannot the producer settle down upon some sum that will ienumerate him tor his labor, tnd say that he will take no more ? We know ol a few instances%hcio this has been done : McCulloch, who owns a Factory on the Catawba river, lias earned a reputation foi honesty and christian benevolence that will last through generations to come, hy selling yam at fl.OU per hunch, when neighboring Factories arc asking per bunch. it it time for men to cease living entirely for m-II and recognize their duties to the community and to the coitiitiy. It is well known that the salvation of the country depends, in a great measure, upon the planting interests. This interest is protected hy law to the extent of exempting oveiseers troir. military service ; and will the planter, in return for this protection, force the Government to pay double the ordinary rates lor gram * or force from the poor all that necessity inay obi lige tliero to give ? We have written the above in no spirit of captiousuess, but with the hope that it may do ionic good in a quarter where reform is needed. An Execrable Military Despot. The order of General Butler, (says the Hich tnotid Dispatch,) said to have heen issued recently in New Orleans, is the most brutal and r.trocious act ol the military despotism extended over so much of the South. It will be found noticed elsewhere in this p*per. Butler is a low, vulgar trickster in politics, and must be socially a brute. Yet he has so much of cunning and shrewdness that we are almost inclined to doubt the authenticity of the paper attributed to him. That (ten. Beauregard should have called to it the attention of bis army, however, is strong pi oof that he knew it to be genuine. Again, it may not be very surprising that the men who thiea'encd the people of Baltimere with assassination by servile agency, should issue even such a paper as this. It will indeed shock the civilized world ; and the man whose arm will not feel ucired by jt to strike a heavier blow upon the enemy, must not only be base bout, but dead to all the iustiiicls of humanity. V bo Are Extortioners ? The Charlotte Democrat, sp< aking of the high prices of provisions in that place, uses the following just icinaiks: "Theie it no good reason why p'ices should be so high. The merchant and farmer are both equally to blame? both demand and take as much as they can powsibly get for what they have to sell, while those who are neither merchants nor fainicis seriously feel the effects, and are having their pockets pretty well exhausted. While some are getting richer, others are getting poorer ; bul that's (lie way of the world?in time* like these the selfishness and meanness of human nature ia latlier plainly exhibited.

The Way the Yankees Intend to Gov* j era the South. | We (five in this paper the most startling nnd extraordinary threat of oar subjugation that the North has yet made in this war. It. is true that we know, if beaten in this war, that our States were to be reduced to the condition of "territories," but we never be fore knew that we were to be governed by biig.tdesof negroes, and that our slaves were to be nr.ncd and enrolled into .? military polire fur our Government !
