Remember Them.
We have recently seen a letter written by
Messrs. C*. A. & K. G. Chisolm, of Charleston,
from which we make the following extract:
"We have been soiling salt at $5 per bushel,
and trill continue to do so, to long as we keep
our works in operation, notwithstanding what
others may charge."
They only regret that their works are so
limited that they cannot meet a tithe of the
demands made upon them?but hopo soon to
be able to do something for us here. They
are not selling the salt to speculators and extortioners.
but aro giving the privilege of pur
chase to th* consumers, and especially " to the
families of volunteers now in service." Wo
chronicle this fact, not for the purposo of praising
the patriotism of the Messrs. Chisolm?
for they are only doing as every lover of his
country will do?tut that our people may remember
them?believing that when the day
of peace and prosperity shall again gladden our
land, they will see that they suffer no detriment.

4 We were pleased to see a pe'.ition from our
citizens against the running of the cars on the
Sabbath day, on tho branch of the railroad
from this place to Kingsville. It appears somo
complaint has been made to the President of
the South Carolina Railroad that the contract
for carrying the mails was not complied with,
inasmuch as the agreement was for a daily
mail, for a specified length of time. "$Ve have
had no Sabbath running of the cars for several
years, and of course no mail on that day.?
With this our citizens have been perfectly satisfied.
As a Christian people we believe in the
observance of the Sabbath, and letting those
who are Connected with the Railroad and Postoffice
have the benefit of the day of rest, and
the opportunity of attending the house of God
with their families, as other citizens have.?
And we are happy to say they avail themselves
of it. The result is manifest in the unexceptionable
deportment of all concerned with tho
Camden Branch of the Railroad. We would
be doing injustice to discriminate, as agents,

and attentive in the respective positions

a temporal point of view in the observance oi
the Sabbath. And that community of people
who set aside the regard due to the injunction
to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy,
will give fearful evidence of it in degeneracy
of morals. Let all, then, sign the petition to
continue the running of the cars, as for some
time past

fortune, while coming into port on Monday, to
get ashore on the beach of Snllivah's Island,
where she remained several bourn, but was
finally towed off by the steamers Marion and
Etiw&n. When she first got aground she was
approached by one of the . blockade!*, which
fired a number of shells, most of which struck
on Sullivan's Island, but none of them hit the

off by a rifled gun on Fort Beauregard, which
discharged but one shot at her, when she retired.
The Memphis is a new iron ship, on

Mr. Editor : It 1ms become a common
practice for boys and youths to try the speed of
their horses within the corporate limits of tho
town, especially on DeKalb and Littleton
streets, Hnd this in the evening just at a time
when there are more carriages on the streets
than any other hour of tho day- These young
gentlemen ought tc know that racing horses in
such places is against the law; to say the least
the practice is extremely dangerous. No carriage
can be driven on tho streets at such a
time without great danger to ladies and children
taking their usual drive. We hope this
hint will be sufficient to put a stop to the practice,
but if not, the Town Council must be
called upon to exercise their authority.

It would be ^ disgrace to the servfce?an infamous
outrage upon the morality and decency
of the country and the age. It purports to be
a warning to the ladies, but is really a license>
expressly given to the soldiers, to treat as
"women of the town," every female who ma),
"by word, gesture er movement, insult or show
contempt for any officer or soldier of the United
States." Such insults may be very annoying,
and may deserve punishment, or, at least,
measures of repression, though we believe that,
as yet, they are not offenses against any code
of laws, either civil or military. But to commit
their punishment to the unrestrained and
sanctioned license of a rough soldiery would
be a stride towards the brutality of the most
' barbarous ages, from which we trust the Union
cause will be protected. Such an order would
inflict lasting disgrace on the oflBcer who should
issue it, and bring the cause he professed to
serve into just and general contempt.
Evacuation of Cumberland Gap.?The
Atlanta and Knoxville papers announce the
fact tha^ Cumberland Gap has been evacuated
by the Confederate forces. The Knoxville
t Register says:
The force which has so long been stationed
i here has fallen back, we learn, to a position on
Chnreh River. That croaker* mav nnt. d row

to the nerves of those who have of late been
so " shaky" in regard to the safety of East
Tennnessec, we may state that before the Gap
was evacuated, the Federals had left there, after
so blockading the road in their flight, that
> they conld not return if they would. In the
opinion of some of our military men, the aban.
donment of the Gap has long been held to be
a politic measure.

of his pen has thus inflicted grievance which
the Creoles of Cuba have long complained of as
the most noxious and trying of all the evils of
Spanish tyranny?to wit: to excludo the natives
from all sbaro in the public administration.

Mobile, June 24.-^A special despatch to
the Tribune, dated Grenada, June 23, states
that arrivals from Memphis report that the defeat
of Curtis by Hindman in Arkansas is generally
credited above. Col. Fitch, with two
Indiana Regiments, was sent up White River
to reinforce Curtis. He attacked our batteries
at St. Charles, seventy miles above, and with
the aid of gunboats and land forces succeeded
in capturing them by an attack in the rear.?

Who is "Governor" Johnson.?Andy
Johnson, Lincoln's Military Govornor of Tennessee,
is a native of North Carolina. His j
grandfather was hung duriDg the first Revolution,
as a Tory marauder and spy in the employ
of Tarlton. His cousin Madison Johnson, j
was hung for horse stealing, some twenty years ,
ago, by a regular verdict of twelve of hia peers, .
as the law of that State directs. Andy having
more sense than the balance of the family, left .
his native State at an early day, went to Ten- {
nessee, and tamed his attention to politics.?
He has, therefore, been more fortunate in his (
villainy than his illustrious ancestors were.?

A few days since, preparations wore making
for a drees parade, and a number of officers had
congregated in front of the St. Charles, Butler's
headquarters. A splendid carriage was driven
in front oftho hotel, accompanied by servants in

of great wealth and excollent taste. The

sparkling with jewelry, drew from her pocket
her gold card case, and taking therefrom her

of hours were agreeably spent in conversation,
followed by the introduction of wine and cako,
when the highly delighted visitors took their
departure. Picayune did not appreciate the
fact that he had been made the victim of a
successful "sell," until he learned shortly afterwards
that he had bcen?payirig his respects tothe
proprietress of one of the most celebrated
bagnios in the States, who is at this time "considered
a woman of the town, plying her vocations
as such.
The retribution that thus fell upon Picayune
was deserved.
Arrival from New Orleans.?Mr. Saufr
Street, of this city, who left Now Orleans oiv
the 8th inst., arrived home Sunday Morning.
We learn from Mr. Street that the city was
very orderly, the stores all open, but business
very dull, and very little doing. Several vessels
had arrived from the North with canroes
C7
of ice and provisions. Icc was selling at five
cents a pound. The Federal soldiers were encamped
at diflbrent localities,. and garrisons
were quartered at the Custom House, Mint and
ctbcr public buildings. " Troops were also stationed
at Oarrolton, Baton Rogue, and several
places on the river. The strictest discipline is
observed among the soldiery, and the slightest
cftense against the citizens, or violation of rules,
ire punished with great severity.
Gen. Butler still has his headquarters at the
St. Charles i otel, while the St. James has
jcen converted into a hospital for Federal solJiers.?

Prospects in the Valley.?Tho Lynch>urg

Large reinforcements from the South have

irmy at Fort Republic. His strength is now
jqual to any rival force which he is likely to

ained down the Valley. We heard it asserted
yy able officers that if the war should last
welve months, our army would bo in New

Stranger things than this have ruled the
