Smith, a native of Virginia, but for many years a citi! zen of this District, died at his residence in Yorkville, on the 31st ultimo, in the 69th year of his age. He was one of our most useful citizens, entertaining the highest esteem of our entire community. He leaves a large family, with many relatives througnout tne District. . V,, SALT. r-' The increase of salt-works around us, seems to have the effect of raising the price of this necessary article. Every means is used to make it pay?even to selling it by the pound. Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina, have each , made provision for their people, while we are left to the mercy of the speculators who monopolise the private supplies that occasionally find their way to i the interior. What the prices may be on the coast, we know not, but up here < they are almcfet fabulous, and must < soon call for the interference of Gov ernment. The supply here is -quite i limited, and we see but a poor prospect for saving our bacon this winter. Our . Legislature may do something for us i when it meets, but it may be then too late for many purposes, unless they 1 purchase instead of going into a system i of manufacture that would require time ] to mature. Our friends on the coast 1 have no idea of the suffering for salt in v , the up-country. j . ? 1 THE WAB. | It will be seen we have little or no ^ news from our Armies this week, each . 1 party seeming to be at a stand still? ^ though we may look for a renewal of hostilities at any moment, in almost' any quarter. The consequence of. this ( inactivity is the numerous reports of ( a recognition by France and England, , and this time it is insinuated that the } North desires, it* as an excuse to end the war, which has not proven as profit- j able as anticipated; while in peace on any terms they may again fleece the ] South in their trade which is now suf J fering. It is believed Lord Lyons .who is expected at Washington, will be , placed in a position to define the course and views of the British government, but this will hardly have any effect on the preparation of our Generals, who 1 it is trusted will continue to keep up the morale and comfort of their commands. One thing is certain, the Yankees are pushing forward to completion several gunboats, with a view to an attack on ( Charleston or Savannah?if we suffer ourselves to be lulled into a false securitv. bv these silly prophecies of "peace j V V r - j by Christmas," or "recognition in sixty days," we will loose all the little van- j tage we have gained the past six months. i We have every faith in our Government, but we cannot but think the con- * scription drags too slowly along. Our , companies in service need filling up at ] once to their required numbers; in- , etead of which we see the papers crowd- i ed with advertisements of deserters or absentees from their several commands. This is a bad state of affairs, and can , be easily remedied by the co-operation of the State with the Confederate Government. We repeat, we see no signs of peace, at present, but on the other hand have every reason to expect that a tremendous army will be thrown upon us similtaneouslv at several points, from which results alone, we may find a basis for future speculation. EDITOBIAL ITEMS. The Synod of South Carolina, meets at the Presbyterian Church in this place, at 7 o'clock, this evening. The weather continues cold and clear, with heavy frosts. For seeding wheat, the time is propitious. Now raining* It is asserted in the northern papers that Butler, the Beast, will be transferred from New Orleans to Charleston, as soon as the Federals can take the latter named city. If so, the monster will find that if no one in New Orleans has nerve enough to kill a tyrant, there are plenty of Carolinians who have. I A letter from a soldier in General ? OOJ Dmim s army, wrineu uu me mi., states that all the trains are safely through the Cumberland Gap. This makes the valuable stores brought from Kentucky safe beyond all peradventure. The Indianapolis Journal says that over one million of dollars has been forwarded to that city for deposit by the Nashville banks. This looks like "rats deserting," etc. A correspondent of the Mwimppian> says that from 3,000 to 4,000 bushels of salt are being made every day at the springs of Lake Bistreneau, Louisiana. Vice President Hamlin is in Washington. The Herald says he is one of the bitterest revilers of McClellan and has probably come on to urge his remo val from the command of the army of the Potomac. Mr. John Thompson, Proprietor of the Hopewell Factory, Anthony Shoals, Georgia, has furnished for the past two months to the families of the soldiers from Elbert county, and continues to furnish them, yarns. at one dollar per bunch. This is indeed liberal. Major Cocking arrived a few days ago inCharleston, having run the blockade from Nassau, N. P., where his regiment was stationed. The Major has resigned his commission in the British army to espouse our cause. He is a man of fine military education and has nobly distinguished himself in the India War and the battles in the Crimea. xr:_- Oi.-i.__ _:n ililie Oltt-tCO YTLU UUUPibUCI^ aiutuai elections on the 4th of November, to wit: New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Minnesota, and Delaware. Bently D. Hasell, Esq., has been elected to the Presidency of the Char, and Savannah Rail Road, vice W. J. Magrath, Esq., elected to the Presidency o| the South Carolina Rail Road. The Richmond Examiner learns that the Government is about issuing an order against the "blockade running") business, between Richmond and Yankeedom, ceasing to recognize it as legal. Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama, have State works in Virginia, which are turning out over twelve or fifteen hundred bushels of skit per lay, \>esides a few private works from each. All the public and private works in Washington and Smythe counties, Virginia, together with the works of Messrs. Stuart, Buchanan & Co., are 3aid to turn out daily 7,000 bushels. A decision made in the United States Court on the 21st ult,, declares that the taw of the United States Congress pro hihitintr the issue of "shinolasters" in the States, is unconstitutional. Mayor Monroe, of N. Orleans, died i few weeks since, from the effects of bis imprisonment at Ship Island, where ae suffered with neglect all manner of trant and torture of mind and body nflicted by the Beast, whose name has aecome a synonym for infamy and hunan depravity. In consequence of the failure of the Council of State to meet at the time iesignated by Gov. Vance, (the 18th lit.) the meeting of the Legislature will aot take place as early as was expected, [t will not meet until the regular time, ;he third Monday in November. As an evidence of the faith and stalility which the Southern people have n Government securities, we would }tate that a day or two ago a Georgian irent into the Treasury Department and purchased the nice little sum of one nillion dollars of eight per cent, bonds. The Charleston Courier of the 28th lit. publishes the official list of casualties is furnished from the Adjutant Generics office, in the recent affair near Po jotaligo.

Stratton, alias "Tom Thumb," bas been made a Mason recently, at Bridgeport, Conn. He is said to have borne his amazing trials in a manner that would have reflected honor on greater men.

He was greatly disgusted when told that he was wanted for a private. We understand (says the Richmond Enquirer of the 1st instant,) that Gen. Bragg left this city on yesterday to resume the command of his Department. From Jforthern Virginia. The recent movements of our forces have led to the impression in some quarters that the entire evacuation of Northern Virginia was designed, or that these movements were made with reference to the reported advance of the enemy under McClellan, through Loudoun county. Our own information on the subject, derived from quarters deemed reliable, leads us to believe that the change of position recently made .by our army was effected without regard to either of the contingencies above referred to.- From all we can gather, we are satisfied that a general advance of the enemy's forces is not anticipated, and that our government, which rather desires such a movement on the part of McClellan, will be disappointed for the present campaign. The recent report of an advance amounts to but little, and the operations of the enemy, so far as they have transpired, do not indicate that they will risk an engagement with the well appointed and highly disciplined trooos under General Lee. From Winchester and the country below we have private advices as late as Thursday morning. No movement of the enemy had taken place up to that time along the upper Potomac. At Harper's Ferry, Snepherdstown and Williamsport all was quiet, notwithstanding the boast of Northern correspondents that their forces would occupy Winchester before the close of the present week. The report that Winchester had been evacuated is not correct. Our cavalry pickets still hold their old positions north of Bunker Hill, and east of Charlestown.?Richmond Dispatch, lsf. The Late Great Battles. Mobile, Nov. 1.?A special despatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Holly Springs, 31st, says that Surgeon Bond, of Price's army, who was wounded at Corinth, returned to-day in one of Rosencranz's ambulances. He left four hundred of- our wounded at Iuka and two hundred distributed in the countfy. They are well fed and cared for, and 20 Confederate Surgeons with them.? Rosencranz has been very attentive to our wounded, and declares that such fighting was never equalled, and such brave men are entitled to every attention. The only thing, they require is clothing, of whicho&Mc^cg^q need,? Three hundred suits war be "sent them. Rosencranz, in tears, met our Surgeons, after the battle, and expressed regret that such brave men should suffer so severely. His Adjutant declared that had Price's command been supported, or other troops handled as well, the would have held Corinth. Finding our troops had gained the centre of the town, his ordnance building! were fired, and with difficulty extinguished, after Green's Brigade fell back, for want of support.. Surgeon Scott, who was imprisoned at St. Louis, has returned. Senatobia, October 31.?The Memphis Bulletin, of the 29th, says that Buell has been relieved of the command of the Union forces in Kentucky and Rosencranz has been appointed in- his stead. Sympathy for Secession in Baltimore.?A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Baltimore -on the 20th instant, says: There has been somewhat of a lively itkne a^JFort McHenry. On Tuesday, ' Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last, a number of prisoners had arrived from the , hospitals at Frederick and elsewhere. The charming rebel ladies of Baltimore sympathised withtl eir friends in distress. They furnished them with good things to eat and drink, with blankets, and other comforting necessaries. This was all well enough.. Everything that went into Fort McHenry went under passes from General Wool, and of course it seemed all right. But on Thursday and Friday other things began to appear?canteens, haversacks, C. S.-A." officers' uniforms?all under permission of Gen. Wool. Then the men rebelled. There were some veterans of the Peninsula there?men who had fought and bled for the Stars and Stripes?and they revolted against such traitorous aid and comfort to the enemy. They attacked certain carriages on Friday evening, owned by Baltimore ladies, and filled with these contraband goods. They destroyed the goods, and damaged and turned back the carriages. In consequence of .these proceedings General Morris, commanding at Fort McHenry, has issued an order forbidding any carriage to come within the fort, and ordering a strict inspection of all- articles brought by any parties to the rebel prisoners. From Europe. The latest intelligence from Europe is contained in the mails by the Astralasian, from .Liverpool, on the 12th. The British papers are much occupied with American affairs, which are discussed chiefly with the relation to the probability of an early recognition of the Confederacy.' It was reported that the "Southern Association" in Liverpool had agreed to a proposition which has for its object the memorializing of the British Government for the recognition of the Confederate States. It was also said that the members of the Liverpool Chamber of Coiltmerce were about to petition Government as to the necessity of recognizing the South.? The Liverpool Fast, of the 11th, says: "Two of the highest class Liverpool houses received yesterday evening, telegrams from headquarters in London, that the British and French Governments have lost no time in announcing that they are resolved on persisting in a policy of perfect neutrality." The London Commercial Daily List says it is enabled to state that there is no likelihood of an immediate recognition of the Southern Confederacy. iL. m; JLDe City euuor ui iue jl imea iksocj to that the feeling among the commercial classes of London is as strongly opposed a 8 ever to any action on the part of the Government towards a formal recognition of the dissolut ion of thq Union, and he says that there is a suspicion that the desire for such a recognition comes rather from the North than the South. The London Times, in some speculations upon the result of the Maryland campaign, concludes as follows : Of course the contest is henceforward only for boundary. Maryland was one of the great difficulties. The South could not abandon that State with honor and could not hope that the North would ever surrender it. Maryland has now had an opportunity, and as she his not. risen to accept her deliverance, the Southern Government may well conceive itself absolved from any imperative obligations towards her for the future. Sooner or later a time will suddenly arise when this question of boundary will assume an absorbing importance. The Daiiy News editorially disputes ' the idea that the South would willingly - .i .. ly, in tiic event ui u< sepiuanuu, wnnui any of the Border States, and adduces " evidence tending to prove quite the contrary. The morning Post draws a parallel between Lincoln's Government and that of the ex-King of Naples, and charges President Lincoln with proceedings closely resembling those which preceded the downfall of the Neapolitan throne, and says: Francis of Naples failed, pursuing a similar course, whj i should Abraham of America succeed ! It questions whether Europe, in the event of any signal victory attending ; the Confederates, would be justified in I longer withholdihg their recognition. . News from Stonewall Jackson's Army, Knoxvillk, October 29.?The Lynch burg Republican, of the 28th inst., con tains a letter from Stonewall Jackson's army, dated Bunker Hill, October 23. 1 which confirms the reported destruction . of a large portion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Thirty miles of track were destroyed* reaching within three miles of Harper's Ferry, also, many valuable buildings belonging to the company. The Abolitionists arfr still in strength at Harper's Ferry. Our pickets are within five miles of that place, and on the Potomac, opposite Williamsport, Md.; also, at Shepnerdstown, Virginia. * - . The depth of snow atKnoxville was four inches. , - mmm . >. ^ , The Dead at Cobinth.?The friend at Holly Springs encloses the Grenada Appeal the following copy of an autograph letter from General .Rosecranz to Gen.

[Signed] W. S. Rosecranz, Major-General Commanding. [Official,] M. M. Kimmell, A. A. G. The Defences.?The weather now is charming and highly favorable to the progress of work on the fortifications around the city. * We are already a full match for a much larger for^e than the Abolitionists can now bring against us, and in a few days we hope to be able to defy them both by land and water. In the river all is complete, and only a-? waiting an attack of the enemy, whilst Major Parsons, with his shovel and wheelbarrow brigade, is doing wonders in the way of breastworks. His operations are nearly completed; and when done will make Savannah the most formidably defended city in the Confederacy.

The State Legislatures will, we believe, all be in session this winter, and will thus have an .Opportunity of acting: concurrently upon any matter falling within their jurisdiction, involving the general weal, , and on which they could judiciously or usefully take action.? We do not conceive it wise or safe to leave everything relating to the war to the legislation of Congress and the discretion of the Executive. In the earlyJ stages of the contest the power of the States was brought to bear with the most telling effect. The armies first brought into the field were raised and equipped almost wholly by the States. But we would not recommend legislation by them now on matters purely military, lest conflicts in policy and collisions of authority might result. The most important and befitting subject for their consideration is the currency. It has been suggested that the-States should give their individual endorsements to the notes of the Con-' federate Government, pledging their faith and" means to the redemption of these issues. But as it is not believed that the depreciation in currency has] grown out of any want of confidence in the Confederate Government, it mayj l 11 J U.J U De we .l uouuieu wuevuer duuu ciiuuidcment is needed or would prove of practical benefit. As this depreciation results almost solely from superabundance of circulation, a wiser policy, would be the adoption of measures calculated to reduce and restrain such excess. A contemporary suggests, as one fruitful source of mischief, the flood of shinplasters by which the country is inundated. Measures, it says, should be adopted for excluding from circulation everything but Confederate Treasury notes.. The country is flooded with shinplasters of every denomination and of- every description. They amount to a serious evil, the worst effects of which we have not yet realized; and this consideration, of itself, would be a sufficient reason for their suppression; but it becomes absolutely important in view of the large amount which they add to our already redundant currency. ^We have no idea what amount of these shinplasters are afloat in the Confederacy, but there is scarcely a village or cross-road in the country, from which they are not issued, and of all denominations, from five cents to five dollars.. This evil should be corrected at once. The Confederate Treasury is issuing one and two dollar bills, and no other person or corporation in the country should be permitted to issue bills of that size. To meet the necessities for change, the banks of the country should be required to issue change bills from five to fifty cents, and the issue of these should not be allowed to exceed a certain per cent, of their capital. In the next place the banks should i be required to receive Confederate Treasury notes on deposit at par, under i penalty of forfeiting their charters, i and depositors should also be compelled to receive them at the same rates, or lose their deposits. Stringent laws 1 should also be passed by which the in1 terest on all money demands, held eithl er by individuals or corporations, should be stooDed from the date at which a I X i tender of payment was made in Cont federate Treasury notes. We believe ! some such legislation as that suggested r above is demanded, and we hope to see ? the subject engage the attention of our ; State Legislatures.?Richmond Whig. ) i Seizures.?Nearly all the shoes in the city were seized yesterday by order of Gen. Bragg to supply the barefoot . soldiers in his army. We learn that Mr. Banks' large shoe manufactory at Griffin was also taken ! possession of by the Government to , make shoes for our soldiers. If this i step had been taken three months ago, [ or if the Government had sent out a: gents three months ago to procure shoes i for the army, they might have been ready by this time to put on the feet of 1 our brave men, and would have cost the * Governemnt a great deal less than now, and been far less inconvenience to those whose property is taken possession of. ?Atlanta Confederacy, 30tA. - g Our State Laws. \ ^ We have expressed our opinion that Lincoln's Proclamation should be met in the South, by Proclamations from the Southern Governors announcing ] their intention to enforce strictly the j existing State laws against negro thieves t and insurrectionists. The Richmond j Whig, in its issue of the 29th, takes a j similar view of the subject. It says: ( The late Congress having failed to recommend any specific measures for preventing the murderous system of c warfare proposed to be inaugurated by g the enemy after the first of January, we c submit whether the Governors of the a States should not interpose their au- I thority, ajjd the law of the sovereign e commonwealths over which they preside, for the protection of their citizens^ In Virginia, and we donbt not in all the other States of the Confederacy, there are statutes which provide the penalty of hanging for such offences, as are authorized and enjoined by the late proclamation Of the Yankee President.? Why may not Gov. Letcher, and the Governors or all the other States, issue counter proclamations giving notice to the enemy that any Yankee soldier taken within the limits of their respective jurisdictions after the 1st of January will be held as being there for the purpose of aiding and abetting in the perpetration of the crime directed to be committed by the proclamation, and as particeps in any such crime already committed, and shall be hung. We know no power to limit the-authority of. the Governors in matters of this kind. We know nothing that supercedes or suspends the laws of the States. We know nothing that releases the Governors from the obligation to exert every power they possess* for the protection of the citizens And we trust that they will give this subject the consideration to which it is entitled. , Speculators and Demagogues. There are but two classes of persons in the North or South who are anxious f-- -??-? iti :_i?j ior we continuance 01 iai? wmcu,. uu- necessary and destructive war. It is F stated among the thousand rumors, that * Gen. McG'lellan recently remarked, that were it not for the demagogues, General Lee and himself could end the war at 8 .once. We place but little confidence in the rumor, yet of the correctness of 11 the remark attributed to ,-him, we have G nofdoubt. The war was inaugurated and has been persevered in mamly through the 1 bad counsels of trading demagogues and merciless speculators and extortioners,' whose sole aim has been a selfish pur- !: pose to secure place and profit. The peculation and speculation which have ? been carried on at the North have saddled that Government with a debt which 8 it will never pay; and the officii thefts 8 and extravagant speculation upon the * government and the people of the South, have risen to such a pitch afr to threat- 8 en our army and people with starvation * and consequent subjugation. We have said repeatedly, that the ? speculation and extortion now practiced 8 in the South are doing fyore to hasten, our subjugation than everything else 11 beside. Every thoughtful person in * the country not involved in the high ' crime of beggaring the people and tne ' government, must see it. Look at the deadening, chilling effect of this specu- * lating mania upon the large masses of ' the people whose sons ana brothers are 8 in the army. Every one is melancholy , and dejected, not at the ill success of our arms, but at the certain disaster t which is being brought upon the coun- 8 try by the speculators. No one is cheer- e ful but them. They "have never seen a better times," they say, they tchave c never made so much money before." r Many of these land sharks enjoy a shade offices under the Confederate gov- a ernment, and many others were among e the most noisy advocates for secession. F They nor their sons have gone into the war, and do not intend to.

Verily, I Yankee bayonets and ball are not so ef- ^ fectually conquering as they are. The * worst enemies of the Confederacy are * those who speculate upon salt, flour, * bacon, corn, leather, cotton and woolen * goods. Many have suddenly become rich, both Jews and Gentiles, and they have no concern except to keep the war raging that they may make money.? * And what is to be the result, if they t continue it ? IT not the overthrow ofl* the South the inevitable* consequence ? ^ What earthly power can prevent our ? being overrun by the Yankee hordes, if 1 this state of things continue ? And { yet they cry, "All's well." Our victories and advantages gained over the enemy are magnified by them, and when * our reverses Decome glaring, they talk J of speedy "foreign intervention." ' Let them be put down. Patriotism, ( humanity and the salvation of the coun- 1 try demand it, and let it be done speed- ? ily. There is no good reason under 1 heaven why salt, and flour, and bacon, and corn, and leather, and cotton and woolen goods, should demand the pre- ' sent prices.

Lookout, Tanners and Shoemakers.?Under this caption a .writer in he Grenada Appeal gives tanners and hoemakers a timely warning, which it rill he well for them to heed. The wrier says: , -Tanners and shoemakers are exempt rom conscription by the- lawa of tne Confederate States, but there is one litle provision of those laws which they dl seem to have overlooked. It is this: 'That the products of . their labor shall le sold at prices not exceeding seventyive per cent, upon the cost of producion." Now I will venture to say that here is not a tanner or shoemaker in Mississippi who is not selling his prolucts at from one hundred to five hunIred per cent, upon the cost of producion. All such are no longer exempt rom conscription. Now, let every man rho buys a hide of leather, or a pair of hoes from these exempts, take a re;eipt for His purchases, which will be iroof positive against - them, that they xe liaWe to be enrolled as conscripts, f they refuse to give a receipt, let the purchaser make a memorandum of his mrchases, their date, and amount and his will answer just as well as a receipt o prove them liable to conscription. The laws to which I havereferred are qually applicable to other tradesmen ; tut I have confined my remarks to,taniers and shoemakers alone, simply beafcse their exorbitant prices press peuliarlv hard upon the peo.ple, paitlcosrly the poor people, at this season of he year. -v. ^ Severe Sentence op a Liquor Se> iEE.?The business of selling liquor in tetersburg, Va., against the authority f martial law, is not a very safe one.
