- Executivk Bats ktmmt, Nov. 3,1868.
Whereas extensive and well-grounded apprehensions are
felt that the distillation of Sphrlts from grain will produce
disastrous effects upon the supply of bread for the poor
this winter* and greatly diminish tlie supply of breadstuff*,
so essentia] for support in every branch of our armies In
the field j and whereas it Is cminenUy politic to suppress
everything that is calculated to enlarge the field of disgraceful
speculation in the present emergency :
New, know ye, that f, FRANCIS W. PICKENS, Gnvernor
and Commander-in-Chief, In and over the State of S.
Carolina, do hereby issue this my proclamation, declaring
that all licenses that may have beengranted for the distillation
of grain in any shape or form, except as embraced in
Die resoluUons of the .Executive Council hereunto above
attached, shall be, and the same are, each and every one

of no further effect, from and after the tenth day of die
present month, and Ido hereby direct the Sheriffs and Mag
istratcs in the different districts of the State to discharge
faithfully their duties in enforcing this proclamation, and
In aiding with all their legal power to suppress this crying
and enormous evil. Ana in addition to title, I call upon all
good and patriotic cftlaens of the Btnte to lend their aid and
rnergctic assistance to the same ends. No good citizen can
nana quietly by and aee the Increase of all the debasing
;vil* attendantJtpon this distillation without at least giving
lis active Influence to suppress it. .
We are in the midst of a great revolution, involving bur
very existence, and the free use of ardent spirits by oar
irave but thoughtless soldiers, has done more to Injure the
ilsciplliie of our armies and to introduce sickness and disrate
than any other cause. The question is simply whether
we are to keep bread for soldiere' families or allow It to
he manufactured Into poisons to be administered to their
husbands and brothers in the service.
I earnestly entreat that every man may use his best exertions
to see that this proclamation is Immediately enforced,
and thus aid in suppressing a vice which Ua disgrace
to virtuous freemen, and H not suppressed, la well
calculated to aap and undermine our atrength and power

Opinions of the People.
The GrandJary of Hancock county, Ga.,
in their laat presentment, remark :
We recommend to oar Legiaiatowthe
establishment of a Cotton Card Manafaotov
ry, either at Milledgeville, or some other
convenient point, so that the women
throughout the State may be provided, with
cards at a moderate price, and enable tiem
to famish homespun clothing at a' cheap
rate, and.come in competition with and curtail
the enormous profits of the Cotton factories,
'? We recbmmend a Convention of .ihe
Governors of the Confederate States to'
agree otr some plan to be submitted to their
respective Legislatures to curtail the production
of Cotton during the oontinutnoe
of the war, and to increase the production
of suclT&rtioIes as will add to th*comfort
and'convenience of onr armies in the field.
- And in conclusion of these presentments,
this body cannot separate without giving
what they conceive a true expression of
every right-minded individual's sentiments
as to the spirit -of extortion manifested by
a considerable portion of the citisens of
these States, and now. spreading with the
greatest rapidity to every branch oftrade,
and most say that callous must be tfye heart
of that man, who," living^io comparative
ease and plenty, can, for his surplus goods,
whether of support or toclad the body> ?Xtort
from the needy and suffering men, who
have given their time, yea, their blood, for
the security of these same extortioners, fattening
upon the sufferings of loved ones
whom onr soldiers must leave to the tender
mercies of their fellow citisens.And
yet how often do we hear loud expressions
of loyalty and patriotism from lips which
the next minute will place upon their commodities
a price whiob debars the poor sol-'
dier or bis. family. from purchasing to re*
lieyc their, necessities. Bat, oh 1 'says the
seller, 1 must have a high price for my
goods, because I have to pay such high
pricesfor-what 1 want. Does the commission
of two wrongs make a right ? Not at
all. And be who has eupplies needed by
the community with whom he is Surrounded,
and by the. poor soldieriighting to
secure the liberties of the whole country,
and puts such a' price upon these supplies
as will place their parobase out of the power
of the really . needy, however load hia
professions, in oar opinion, is as effeotually
fighting the battles of our. common enemy
as if personally engaged in the enemy'p,
ranks. |
~ Tho Grand Jury of Oglethorpe, Georgia,
report:
"Whereas, all accouots . from the army
concur io representing it to be in a very
destitute ooodition in the matter of clothing,
and as this state of destitution is attributable
to the system of extortion - pursoed
by a class of unprincipled and unpatriotic
men, and mainly to the Factories whose
manner of dealibg fosters apd enoourages
this shameful practice of extortion; and
whereas, either because the G ran J Juries
of the connties where the factories are-located
have failed to enforce the law enacted
at the last session of the Legislature,
or beoauBe the factories have contrived to
evade its penalties, these public plunderers
still go unwhipped of justice ; and siuoe the
evil becomes every day more and more extended
and pernicious, and if not checked,
must result in producing a deplorable state
of suffering amongst our poor citizeos, the
demoralization of our army, and our consequent
subjugation; therefore, since self
preservation is the paramount law of nations
as well as of individuals, we, the Grand
Jury of Oglethorpe county, recommend to
His Exoelleaoy, the Governor of Georgia,
that be urge upon the Legislature, at its
approacbiog session, the immediate enactment
of a law authorizing him to take possession
of all the factories in the State, in
the name of the people aod for the public
beneht; that he appoint oae or more suitable
persons to superintend eaob factory, and
the goods made therein be famished?
- "1st. To those who want yarps or cloth
to make clothing for the soldiers. '
"2d. That the families of soldiers be supplied
with what they want for their own.
use, and?
"Lastly. The public at large; and that
these goods be sold at such a rate above
cost as will return to the stockholders of
the factories a fair and reasonable dividend
and no more.
"Resolved, That we call upon the people
of the State of Georgia, either by their
Grand Juries, or through public meetings
of the citizens in the several counties, to
endorse the foregoing' recommeudatiou, if
they concur with us in believing that sooie
such oourse of action is necessary to abate
the dangerous evil alluded to."
A Substitute foe Shoes.?An old
and experienced citizen has called our attention
to the subject of the use of cowbide
moccasins as a substitute for shoes.?
He states that when he moved to the Mississippi,
fifty-two years ago, no shoes were
to be bad for the negroes, and they made
their own out of this material, which answered
tbe purpose as well as the more elaborately
made article, and in some respects
better. The process is simple : take a green
nnwhide. nr nn?> well snaked with the hair
od?which ia to go next to the foot?"put
the foot down firmly" upon it, and cut out
the pattern desired, make the necessary
holes aloog the edges, and lace -it with a
thong of the same material at the heel and
np the instep. Let it dry upon the foot,
and it accommodates itself perfectly to the
shape of the latter, while it is sufficiently
substantial for all kinds of traveling, and
its elasticity is preserved by use. Socks
should be put on when it is made, though
it can be worn without, and such allowance
be made for shrinking so as to avoid too
tight a fit. The moccasin, it is scarcely
necessary to observe, adapts itself to the
shape of the foot, and the fit is perfect. It
outwears leather, and is not hard, as some
might suppose, but quite the reverse. If
desired, it cau bo half soled with tbe same
material. The hair 'ining gives the advantage
of warmth, so ihat socks, when not
to be had, can be better dispensed with
when moccasins are used than if shoes were
worn.

B. H. Bill on Tanners, Shoemakers and
! r t:> m J Owners of Factories. > :
w'^rii * -a *
'6/'Bat there are many persona who are
not officer*, agents, or employees of toe
government, yet who are doing maoh to oppress
the people and enrich themselves by
treble prices. Such as shoemakers, tanners,
superintendents and owners of faotories and
manufacturers and artizana of all kinds.?
All snob men are sot only practioal enemies
to oar success in this straggle, bat are soting'in
direct bad faith to the government
and are subject to punishment. These men
are exempted from military service. But
this exemption is not for the benefit of-individuals,
bat for "the" public good. All
thus situated, therefore, who act fqr their
individual gain, violate the true'intent of
the law, and are expressly snbjeot to be at
once contcribed and never more to be exempted
I The law provides that seventy
five per cent, "on the cost of production
shall be. the extreme limit s? the prices
charged "
VarioHs pretexts and schemes are .being
already resorted to, to magnify apparently
the oostof prodaotion,.ror-to mistify the
cfclcul&tian in the minds of. the people.?
Under this law neither the cost of living,
nor the ioterest on capital invested, form
any part of the cost of production. These
are provided for in tbe-Beventy-five per
cent: pront allowed, and tne provision is
-ample aid enriching?more really than
aught to have been allowed. '
" What is the cost of production on a pair
of Shoes f It is the prion paid for the raw
hide?the expense of tanning it?and the
hire of the operative who makes the shoes.
Let it beremetnbered that the hides which
are tanning and which are to make the
shoes for the ensuing winter, were bought
at~cbmpafotively low prices: The present
prices of hides aod leather constitute no.
part of the cost of production of shoes made
from hides, or leather Vbaght. Nor have
tanners the" right to charge present prides
for the leather made of hides bought at
lowei prices heretofore.
U . What is the cost of production of a yard
of oofton goods ? It is the cost of the cotton
and the aetaSl: expenses incurred in
running (not making or pnttiog up) the
machinery and tbewages of the operatives
Let it be well remembered that muoh of
the cloth now being made, and which will
be need during the ensuing winter irmanufacta
red of cotton bought st low prices.
The present price of cotton is no part of
the cost of producing a yard of cloth fromcotton
bought daring the winter and spring
now past.
Every -operative has a personal interest
in seeing to it that this law is not violated:
For if one superintendent or officer of a
factory or other establishment shall violate
this law, every person engaged aboat the
establishment.is subject to oooscription at
otice and without remedy 1
So ev-ery man, woman and child in the
land is interested in reporting violations of
this law, for it is to prevent them from being
oppressed as well as to prevent the government
from being weakened that the law
has been enacted.
Various methods have been resorted to
with a view of seouriug high prices aod escaping
public odium. The most common
has been to offer goods for sale at auction.
This is, at first view, a plausible scheme of
extortion. It puts the whole honest community,
government included, in the bands
of speculators?puts all in the power of feInninns
rinnntarfoita and sfinures to the
? (
owners the only object Teally intended?
high prices without odium.
This must all be stopped now, for more
than 75 per cent, on the cost of production,
whether at auction or otherwise, is a violation
of the law.Duration
of the War.
Rev. J. R. Graves, who has lately pass
ed through the Yankee States, communicates
his opinion in favor of a long contio
uanoe of the war; He writes for the Rich*
mood Enquirer :
I am confident it will be for our interest,
as a people determined to be free, to shape
our oonduot in view of what I have written
above, for therein is expressed, though disconnectedly,
the sentiments which the
whole Northern people cherish, and their
purposes against us. Permit me to add a
few words of earnest warning to our people.
Do not listen to Becond hand reports narrating
the words of some aspiring but disappointed
Federal officer and underling, who
says that this war must soon terminate, because
he is tired of it.
Do not think that the Northern Government
or people is becoming more amiable
towards us, because the "regulars," who
fight for pay, are not abusive to the South.
Give no heed to what a hungry, shivering
picket calls out across the Potomac,
when he says, "McCIellan's army will fight
no more I" The fellow has only lost his
nerve, and needs a wartxr meal or a drink
of liquor to change his opinion.
Do not look for a financial break down at
the North when the Government is manufacturing
its own money, and it sells at a
premium over the money of other corporations?when
Government securities are
greedily bought up by bankers and brokers
at a figure muoh above par.
Shurely this is Dot withholding confidence
from the Government.
Do not faDcy that our independence is
to be seoured as a result of the war of
political parties at the North. There is no
strife so hot, no difference so great between
them, as to keep them from harmony in
actioD to effeot our subjugation. Let us
frankly own that the worst is preparing for
us, and resolutely prepare to meet it. In
the lull of the storm that now exists, and
may continue for montbs to come, if we
permit, let us not fancy that the Northern
army is idle and listless, or that preparations
for our ruin have come to a perpetual
end. They are surely going on in silence,
add though not much more to bo dreaded
oh that account, jet oar doty iato mate the
best preparation, we can to Wart off the destruction
that ia preparing -lor u?. .
If M^tllao does not march on Richmond
witb bia present army, one is in training
tbat moat sorely be met moving So that
direction from soebe quarter.' lam confi
dent the Northern people would rather see
Washington, Baltimore and - Philadelphia

parif of wiadom in ua to profit by tbia cessation

preparation for the. day . udten^ they shall
bnrst apon oil with augmented fury.?
Every man ahoold aow afflK to know his
daty, and with a brave heart perform it,
not waiting for his neighbor. Thus acting,
and in homele dependence on Him who
"breabetfc the bow andbattetfi' the spear
in annder, and burneth the obarjpt in the
fire, and makeih wars cease onto the end.of
the earth," though this war may be a long
one, we shall have cause to praise Him for

Cloar Gain.
There are few persona, if any, who have
not discovered a kind of'musio in these
words. Profit and gain have probably always
been greatly attractive to men. Solomon
#as troubled, as his book of Proverbs
shows US, by the; folly and wickedness of
men greedy of gain.' In Isaiah's day, the
prophets and priests, .the watchmen of Israel,
neglecting their Solemn duties and apostate
from their God, had gone "every
man for his gain." Jamas, the apostle,
writes of Christians who planned to go into
"snoh unity and boyandaeU and get gain."
We all have some need of money. Some
have lost much by the War,.alt have*a natural
desire, whether they curb, or indulge
it, for the. gratification which money can
procure;'some wish for'it that they may
expend it for the good of others. Fewin>
herit fortunes; we cannot, find treasures
bid in the earth, or torn stones into gold.
The only way is to "get gain." We toil
for our Wages.. We sell the prod uce of our
soil. This we calculate and dedoct our
expenses and losses \ and the rest is "dear
?"!?: . .i...
i ne woras meau mucn more ior some
than for others.. To the covetous mad gain
is joy, peaoe, hope^ life-, everything. For.it
be sacrifices self-respect, .'honor, home,
love y for it sell his neighbor's happiness,
his country, his soul.,- Alasi. gain in his
Qod. "Mammon" (that is* money) is bis
lord and wealth his heaven, he seeks no
other and will-have none. But the thought
of your gain may be pleasant, even- if yoo
do not selfishly seek wealth. And to. the
poor and dependent, gain ofter means. lib
erty,strength, deliverance from temptation.
Perhaps if yoo could read men's hearts for
awhile, it would astonish you to find how
many of their thoughts are upon profit aud
gai o, and sadden you, if yoa are wise, to
see how little they reck of the temptation,
sorrow and ruin that gain often, brings.
Your God, reader, from whom all your,
gains come, and who blesses righteous gains
while fie corses the wages of iniquity,
uses this same magic word, that He may
allure you to seek for better-profits. .Wisdom,
he telb yon, has a gain more than
the gain of fine gold, and yields a better
profit than the rich mechandise, of, robies
or silver, or all costly and desireable things.
'Godliness with contentmentis great gain."
Wisdom and godliness are expressive names
for true religion. T<* fear God, to love,
trnst and obey Bim, this Ho commands as
as oar best gain. King Frederick William
of Prussia, when his surgeon told him that
his pulse was goue, exclaimed, aod they
were bis last words: "Lord Jesus to thee
i live, .Lord desus, to tne i cue, id lire or
death, thodart mygain.'' Happy is he who
can exalt thus O what a grand profit be
has made. ' Much toil, much sorrow,, many
struggles, much loss; but the balance is in
his favor. "Christ my gain!" Christ and
His Father, Christ and Bis love, Christ
add His eternal Heaveo. Reader, yon may
find this clear gain; will you Dot Beek it ?
This wealth yon will not have to leave at
the grave's mouth. It is everlasting gaio.
Are you laboring lor this?' It may be won
to day. 0 seek early and late nntil it is
yours. Then living you shall possess "the
pearl of great price,"' and departing find
that "to die is gain."?Southern Presbyterian.

>, The Blockade Runners.?We learn
that the War Department is about issuing
an order against the "blookade" running
business between Richmond and the North,
and ceasiDg to recognize it as legal. There
are a set of men. engaged in this business
who are aotuated by a desire neither to benefit
the Government nor the community,
but solely as a means of their owu aggrandizement.
The few articles convertible into
Government uses, are carried with a view
to give their miaBiou the passport of official
sanction, while they rob the public by an
unwarranted inflation of prices, affecting
alik*the imported article and those ot home
manufacture. * We learn of instances where
fabulous fortunes have been realized in a
few months, and by parties who could not
before command a sixpence, and all wrung
from the people by the necessities of the
times. One inaD, a very successful "runner,"
boasted, not long since, that he had
cleared seventy-five thousand dollars, and
n?c~A?
auueu, "UOl III j/uur uuuicucibk! iuuuuj,
either." Where men are so unscrupulous,
it would not be very surprising to had the
Yankee Government reaping the profits as
usual, and winking at a system of communication,
while it professes anxiety for its
suppression.?Richmond Examiner.
To Dye Wool Yarn a Durable
Black. Without Copperas.?Place in
your kettle a layer of leaves another of
yarn, and so on till the kettle is full, pour
cu water till all is covered, and boil all
day. The next morning pour off the liquor
into another vessel, and put fresh
leaves with the yarn in layers as before and
pour the same liquor over it and boil again
all day. Then hang the yarn in the air a
few days, after which wash it and it will
be a fine biack.
The Walnut leaves should be gathered
in the Autumn just as they bogin to fall
from the trees.

The Governor, after an allusion to the war 1
and the salt question, states that the salt '
works in Clark and Washington counties, '
Alabama, prodace about 2,000 bushels dai
ly, which the State can afford to dispense 1
to her citizens at the rate of 82 per bushel '
of 50 pounds; and urges that other States (
be invited to assist in tbe development of 1
the saline resources of Alabama. This 1
policy is in pleasing contrast with the course '
of tbe authorities of Virginia, and, if the ;
offer is made, will, no doubt, beugladly ac- 1
cepted by the States to which it will be
tendered. Tbe Governor also states that
contracts have been made to receive for his 1
State 30,000 bnshels of salt from Saltville, *
Va., at the price of 81.24 per bushel. j
