BoY KILLED ON THE CITY RAILOAD.n.-Anotherfatal accident occurred on the track of the cityrailroad yesterday afternoon, which was the result,as far as we could learn, of that horrible habitchildren have of jumping on the cars and track ofthe road. It seems that tihe little fellow who losthis life attempted to run across the track behindthe down car, not observing that a car was com-ing up at the time, and ran almost under tile feetof tile mule before he saw it. He was knockeddown and run over before the driver could checkthe car, and only lived to tell his name and resi-dence. He lived at the house of a Mr. Stauffer,corner of Girod and Philippa streets, and wasnamed George Mauritz. The driver of the car wasarrested and locked up to await an inqeest by theCoroner.

ALLEGErD Fon•nEY.--A man named JosephDies was arrested by officer Carnes at the Citi-zens' Bank yesterday, upon a charge by assistantpaying teller Thomas Cammack, to the effect thathe attempted to pass a forged check upon him.It appears that the same man had at differenttimes during the past fortnight succeeded in get-ting the money at this bank for two checks,amounting to $600, which were also forged, andthe officers were on the look out tor him. Yester-day morning he presented a check at the counterfor $580, which Mr. Cammack immediately detect-ed as being a forgery, and sent for an officer, whoupon arriving effected his arrest. When arrestedDies had in his pocket a Confederate bill for $1t00.lle was locked up in the Second District police jailto await examination.

Ftnc.-A fire broke out yesterday morning in akitchen belonging to Mr. G. Wrench, corner of Ur-saline and Tonti streets, and before it could besuppressed destroyed Mr. Wrench's house andthree frame cottages adjoining, situated on Tontistreet. The loss is about $3000, and partially in-eured.

PAtINFro ACCItDET.-A most distressing accidentoccurred to a little daughter of Mr. Burgess, inthe Second District, on Tuesday afternoon. Sheapproached too near a hot stove, her clothingcaught fire, and she was so badly burned beforeassistance could be rendered that she died yester-day afternoon.

BuoLAitrY.-The house of a Mr. Mooney, sitn-ated on 'asacalvo street, between Mandeville andSpain streets, was entered on Tuesday night bysome burglar, and his armoir broken open androbbed of about $70 in gold which he had there.Mr. Mooney has no idea as to the identity of thethief.

ANOTHER NCT TO CRACe.--The freedom-shriek-

era, yclept the Abolitionists, can make a note ofthe fact that Col. Wade Hampton, the indefatiga-ble colored porter of our neighbor, the Delta, gavea colored ball for the benefit- of the free market,wihich netted $54 15. Not bad, that, we think,and goes to show that the colored population des-pise and reject the hypocritical protestations ofthe Abolitionists.

Letter frroen Virginia.

Special to the New Orleans Creceat.1RIamOnrw , N ovmnher 29. 1061.

Mr. Editor : " This war is attributable solely,"says Gen. Magruder, " to sweet pickles and Web-ster's Dictionary. The nature of a pickle is to besour, and any people that would go and first makea thing sour, and then turn round and make itsweet, and would spell theatre t, e, r, instead oft, r, e, are just about distracted enough to hilltheir best frienda and customers, in order to ce-ment their attachment and increase their business."I was reminded of the General's singular notion ofaccounting for the origin of the war. by reflectingon the prospect of its termination.

Our man Welling, of the National Intelligencer,who still brings his bald head and gold spectaclesto the support of the slab-sided Gorilla at Wash-iogton, in spite of his (Welling's) close connectionwith some of the beat Siecessionists in Virginia,has come out in one of his most ponderous two-column articles, to show that all tihe decisions ofthe British Admiralty Courts prove that the-seiz-ure of Mason and Slidell was in strict accordancewith the principles of international law. Now,knowing, as I do', that Welling derives his inuspira-tion trom Seward and knowing, further, that mostof the Yankee papers sustain Welling and Seward,I am disposed to take infinite encouragement fromwhat appeared, at first, to be a great and uomiti-gaured Confederate disaster. Mr. Bledsoc, ChietClerk of the War Departoent, and many othersrhere, ihave also been hunooting ip autlhorities ; andfind, of course, that there are two sides to thetluestion-for tile decision of courts, like the texts iof the Bible, allord ample authority for doctrinesthe most antagonistic.

So, then, if John Bull wants to fight, he willhave plenty of law to back him up. He may notwant to fight, but he certainly wants cotton. Addrto this the Satanic efforts of Bennett to agg thetiling on, and you discoer, perhaps, the cause ofIMr. Secretary Huanter'sa wearing a smiling face for

tihe first time in two months. Still, your ideas maybecorrect. England may take a purely selfishview of the insult, and estimatm its cost from thestand-point if pounds sterling rather than that ofhonor, and the Yankees may apologize. Never-theless, I can't hielp thinking that the wooden wallsof Old England will soon be in the thick of thescrimmage, and if that happy accident ensue, wehave only to "trust in ilte iLord, and keep ourpowder dry," to be sure of winning a gloriouspeace by next spring. After that we need butquite eschete "sweet pickles and Webster's dic-tionary," to become a great nation.Congress and the Virginia Convention are both

so hermuetically sealed that we would never dreamthey were here in our very midst, unless he shouldchance to walk by the Whig office about dinnertime, when he would certainly encounter a crowdof people, whose angular and elongated frames,shabby overcoats, and deliberate strut, indicateunomitakably that inward con-ciousness of great-ntes which heams only from the visages of ' MIeml-bers." A few drops of iniormalion are drqlpedoccasionally into the public ear from the cans of

wisdom in the Capitolfroe which we gather thatMissouri has been admitted into the Confederacy,and that the constitution of Virginia and the mili-tia system are to be thoroughly overhauled, pre-paratory to the campaign next spring, for thefighting is thought to be pretty well oaver for thepresent, maugre the Yankee determination to havea winter campaign-and, with respdct to thechanges in the conatitution, in anticitation of thepolitical millenium which is to dawn dn Old Vir-ginia the moment she is free from the thralls ofYankee-diddle-daddle-doodledom. On this latterpoint, I am not so clear, for it strikes me thatafter the war is over, there is going to be an awfulrush into Virginia of Northern swine and vermin.

There is going to be a 'iggt sharp fight at Cen-treville and Evansport before this letter reachesyou. Anyhow, signs point that way. But don'texpect too much. Washington is not going to becaptured ; I am not going to prnwl around Brown'sHotel in search of items for the Crescent this win-ter. McClellan, like a good dradghts player, is notgoing to letus break his back-line. He maythro.waway a few thousand men just to amuse the mem-bers of Congress who are looking on at the gamne,and enable them to

" pint" their political

"bet

o i'for the neat canvass, and that will be all. It ispossible, however, that (to change from draughtsto backgammon) Beauregard and Johnston may"throw double sixes," and get into the Washing-ton table in spite of him; but this is not to be ex-pected. If we whip at Centreville, as I think weshall, it will do us good, for it will make the com-ing winter set better on the stomach of the mon-federacy.

A North Carolina Colonel has just left me, inhigh spirits, poor fellow. He says that certainsurgeons, who were detailed for duty at Manassasonly in time of battle, are not to be found thismorning. The fight is at hiand, nd ie fears theresult. Well, I have been in the doleful dumps,too, until the other day, when I had a talk with anintimate personal friend of the President, who toldme that, so far from the President's being unwil-ling for our armies to advance, he is the mostanxious of all men to uplift Maryland and Ken-tucky, and that he will fight long and hard beforethe Confederacy shall lose the control of Chesa-peake Bay, and the Ohio river as a dividing line.Since hearing tlis I have felt better-why. I canscarcely tell; buh I do certainly feel much better.

" In the regard of news" 1 am rather out ofpocket. Yesterday I saw a red haired gentlemanin a military overcoat passing up and down Gov-ernor street in front of the Examiner office, with abig stick in his hand, and in this morning's Whigthere is a card, signed by the brother of GovernorLetcher, and in that card lIr. Jno. M. Daniel is se-verely denounced.

A certain liss or Madame Alboni DeVries is giv-ing a concert, and a play called "Scouts, or theI'lains of banassas.," not a very good play either,is being played at the theatre.

Fron Natchitoches Parish.CtchanrreA c:•ue. LI, Nov. 23, 1M61.

Spciall to the New OIr;eon C..vtce oEd. Cresce•t--The first battalion parade of the

Natchitoches militia, fourth division, took place onthe 21st and 2td ult. The following companieswere present and answered to the roll: TheSpringville Company, Capt. Murph; Grappe BluffCompany, Capt. Itobien; Campte Company, Capt.Hart; Black Lake Company, Capt. Smith; BayouPierre Company, Capt. ---- ; amounting to threehundred men, including officers. You will per-ceive a deficiency to complete a full battalion.

The parade took place on a beautiful enclosedlawn Ielonging to Mr. Bordelon, and a most ex-cellent place, by a little work, for a regimental orbattalion review. The battalion was formed inorder by Major McCurdy, an officer of thoroughmilitary education, and one thoroughly competentto occopy a higher position. At 10 o'clock A. M.the battalion moved, and formed the line of battleupon the different companies, and went throughthe manual of arms, all of which was a completesuccess. After drilling a couple of hours, we weredismissed for dinner. When the evening drill tookplace, Col. Kenney commanded and put the boysthrough pretty tight. The Colonel seems to be atactician, but I do not admire his style of militaryposition on horseback-looking "iike patienceon a monument, smiling at griel."

He is a man about 50 or 60 years, rather inclinedto be corpulent, and gives his orders slowly butina stentorian voice.Among the best drilled companies assembled in

battalion parade were those commanded by Cap-tains Hart, Morph and llobieu; the others also didwell.

All the Captains deserved a great deal of creditfor their perseverance in bringing the ramte rtl 'ialto a state of polished soldiery. I must say the mendo not take that interest they should in perfectingthe thoroogh drill; if they did, the Captains wouldrot be olnpelled to run and totli themselvesnearly out of breath in trying to initiate them ina proper way.Our birst regimental drill will, I understand, take

place at the town of Natchitoches sometime inDecenmber. It is very severe on the poor class.Many of them will have to walk a distance of near-ly forty miles, and when they arrive there, whereare they to eat or sleep? Everything at comfort be-ing raised to war pitch will cause many to becomeeick from fatigue and exposure. Then, rememberthese very men labor hard through the week,make barely enough to nsustain them, on accountof their limited means, then to drill twice a week.They cannot make their crops, feed their hogs, goto mill, etc., and drill all the time. I think oncein two weeks-drill the whole day-would enablethem to get along muoch better.In this section every planter is raising stock, and

if Old Abe does not starve us out this year, whenour resources are suddenly swept front us, youmay depend he never will. I hear fron many in-telligent planters that if the blockade is not raisedby spring they will only plant three acres in cot-ton to the hand. These very men make over twohundred bales of cotton. In the hills they areweaving, spinning and making ia borutiful articleof cloth, and many of our resources are graduallyreturning to their allegiance.

I am sorry to see some of out merchants addingthe blockade toriff upon goods purchased yearsago. Such a system has completely prostrated theinterest oi the poorer class in one parish. For in-stance, mess pork bought this time last year ltr$19 and $20 per barrel, is selling for 25 centsper pound ; calico prints tbhat cost from to oec.,selling for 31 and 35c., and loas colors at that, andeverything else in Iroport'iro.

The river being so very low makes a blockadebetween here and your city, and it is almost impos-sible to receive anything trom New Orleans. Tieriver is down inL th e aoh, nd I have heard thatits bnrts are not so firm ss they were this timelast year; they are continually "cnaving in." Thereis to change in its rnorrr cl, except at tile fllsabove Alexandria, where it itas beent isuing largernotes than for many years past. Our Colonel be-ing a merdicinae mn," it has been soggested thathIe shdi d go and examine the head of the river andreport.The weataher for the past two wees was excel-

lent or picking cotton. A 'arge portion of thisnea.tnntI h been as warm and tnul.y as in June orTJlly Nvecmber is called the crazy mieth, but it

LATEST TELEGIRAPHI-C JTELLUGENCE,

DISoATCHED TO THE NEW ORLEANS CRESCENT

From Bichmond.Rlsnsosn, Dec. 4.-The Norfolk Day Book of

this morning intimates that there is a probabilitythat Gen. Scott will soon be in the South, after themode of Mason and Slidell. The Gew York Herald,of the 1st inst., is received at Norfolk, which saysSecretary Cameron's report is completed, and givesa detailed statement of the war-says over 600,000Federals are in service; that they are splendidlyappointed and in fine condition, and the people ofthe North enlthusiastic for war. He proposes em-ploying slaves for building fortifications and bridges,as hostlers, etc., and says the slaves should neverbe returned to their rebel masters.

Authentic information is received at Washingtonof the capture of a Canadian vessel by a Federalcutter. The former was loaded with arms, cloth-ing and munitions for a Southern port. SenatorsPowell, of Ky., and Green, of Mo., had arrived atWashington, and the Congressmen generally hadarrived. Caleb Cushing is not appointed a briga-dier, but his friends are pressing his claim.

The documents seized at Fortress Monroe, Inpossession of Bryan O'Hara, were heavy sealedand stamped by Robert Bunch, British Consul atCharleston. The correspondent of the Tribunehas relieved Lord Lyons of all knowledge or parti-cipation in sika documents, and says that he hasabstained from all sympathy with either section,as it would only be exciting trouble.

RictuxoXn, Dec. 4.-The bridge over Lick Creek,in EastTennessee, is rebuilt, and the trains arepassing over. At all the other points the bridgesare being rapidly completed, and there is a veryslight detention of passengers and mails.

Ricuaxo.n, Dec. 4.-Intelligence is received herethat the Confederate steamer Nashville had arrivedat Southampton, and the Confederate flag floats inBritish waters. The Nashville captured and burnta large Yankee ship on her passage out.

Vote of Thanks to Gen. Price and Army.Congress passed yesterday, unanimously, and

Be it further resolved, that a copy ofthe resolutions be communicated by the Presidentto Gen. Price, and through him to the army thereunder his command.

Nothing new from the camps.From Memphis.

ME3Prls, Nov: 4.-Last Sunday three Confeder-ate gunboats went within gunshot of Cairo andfired fifteen rounds at Fort Holt ; the Federalsscampered out of their tents but would not fight.One gunboat was anchored in the channel belowCairo. The Maria Denning was at the wharf. Adeserter says last'Sunday was the day fixed uponfor the Federals to come down with 60,000 men,but the descent was postponed.

It is rumored here that the nomination of Heathto supercede Price creates great disapprobation,especially with the Missourians. A special dis-patch to the St. Louis Democrat, dated JeffersonCity, 29th ult., reports Gen. McCulloch movingwith a large force on that place. A special dis-patch to the St. Louis Republican of the 29th,dated Rolla, Mo., 27th, says McCulloch regards there-ograde movement of the Federal army as anattempt to get in his rear. McCulloch is now en-camped at Springfield with a force of 4000 men.Rains left Sarcoxie to join McCulloch on the 25th,with a force of 7000 men. lPrice left Pineville onthe 25th with the balance of the Confederate army,marching Northward to join McCulloch and Rains.He has destroyed everything, to prevent the Fed-erals getting in his rear.

Patriotic II eLrn ing.

We clip the following from the Charleston Cou-rier of the 30th :

We learn with gratification that the patriotieplanters on tile seaboard are hour:y applying thetorch to their cotton and other produce and effects.Those who have not had the heart to enter uponthis work of praiseworthy patriotism and destrucetion themselves, have authorized the military nu-thorities, before yielding anything that can in theleast minister to Yankee greed and lust, to makethe destruction complete hefore them. Partiesfrom North Edisto and the neighborhood unite inasserting that cotton and valuables on tile planta.tious, whioh could not be readrlv relnoved, wereinvolved in one calnoon flane anllld ruin.

At t11 o'lock last nightt, tie heavens to theSouthwest were brilliantly illuminated with thepatriotic flames ascendint from burning cotton.As thie spectators witnessed it, they involunhtarilybutrt forth with cheer after cheer, and eachll heartwas warmed as with a lnew pulse. Stuch a peoplecan never be subjugated. Loet tile holy flamescontinue to ascend, and let the demons of hell,who come here oot their diabolical errand, leanr alesson and tremble. Let the toroh be appliedwherever tile invader pollutes our soil, and let iimliold, as is meet, that our people will welcome honlonly with devastation and ruml. Oar people are inearnrest--men, women and children-and their sac-llio:es will astend as a sacred holocaust to (od,

crying aloud for vengeance against the fiends inhulant shape, who are ditzracino hlmantity, tramnp-ling down civilization, and would blot out Christ-ianity.

r ove York, Nov. 26.-It is understood that Capt.D. D. Porter's visit to this city last week was con-nected with the outfit of a small mortar-carryingfleet.Some twelve schooners at this port; owned by

the Government, and already fitted for ordinaryarmaments, are now additionally strengthened soas to carry, some of them one, and some of themtwo gigantic mortars,some of them weighing nearly20,000 pounds each. These vessels are nearlyready for service.

The Government has just purchased Vanderbillt'sStaten Island ferry boots, Westfield and Clifton.They are the finest boats on any ferry runningfrom this city, and capable of carrying from 3800to 4000 men, with a considerable battery, whiledrawing but five or six feet of water.

Unlonalst of ll ssonrl Dissatlsfied.

We find the following in the St. Louis corres-pondence of the Cincinnati Times:

Last evening, at 4 o'clock, a meeting of refu.gees .from the Southwest was held at 31 SouthFourth street, to take into consideration the courseto be puresued toward their section of the State.They say the state of affairs there is most deplora-.ble. Maiay lien, women and children have not ashoe to their feet, and some have hardly ragsenough to cover them. Twenty-five to forty thou.-sand of these people will have to he taken care oftllhis winter or allowed to perish. If Springfield ispermanently abandoned, these people will have tobe brought away; if a suffloient force is sent tohold it, they may be allowed to remain, and beingtIlped through the winter, they will be on theground and ready to go to work at the opening ofspring.

Col. Boyd stated that lie had got up a petition tothe President, stating the facts and asking him tosend Siegel with 10,I00 men back to Springfield,Siegel having expressed his willingness to go, andthat his petition had been signed by his own regi.ment and several thousand civilians.

A series of resolutions were passed expressivef thie sense of the meeting, and a committee ap.

pointed to present them to len. Halleck, and makesuch a representation to him of the sufferings in theSouthwest as would induce him to send them aidand protection. Tliese resolutions were presentedto the General last night, and a council of war washeld on the subject, but what deternmination wasreached we havenot learned. There islittle doubthut Siegel will be ordered bank to Springfield.

Gen. Hunter issued no orders to the commandersof brigades at Springfield, as to where they shouldmarch their respective commands, or what dispo-vition was to be made of them, Each General gotaway the best he could. Gene. Siegel and Asbothhad to come to St. Louis for orders.

o•sici Fos, Missoti.-- We have been kindlyfavored with St. Louis papers of the 27th ult. oneday later than our advices of Sunday morning last.They make no mention of the reported capture ofthe Jayhawker hontgomery, but give credence tothe statemlent that Gen. Price is making a success.ful move northward. The epublican asserts thathe was reported as advancing on Sedalia, havingcrossed the Osage river with his entire force, estl.

anated at thirty thdsand strong and daily in-creasing.

The number of troops at Sedalia the Republicanputs at sift thousand, at Otterville one thousand,at Syracuse six thousand, and at Tipton nearly asmany, amounting in all to about nineteen'thou-sand.

The St. Louns News, of the day previous, (the2tlh,) had received intelligence that Gen. Pricecid certainly reached OGceola on the 22d inst.--apoint sixty-five miles soth of Sedalia, and abouttwentey front Warsaw. The News thinks that liaobject is to advance to the Missouri river andstlect wilter quarters in that region, and ner-vouhi, expreisses a hope tlhalt movements will berpcully taken to circumventt this design. Thispaper adds that Price's army is estimated at from26,00) to 50,000, but tliinlis it not over 20,000troleg. [Memphlis Appeal, 3d inst.

The well-written narrative •sgave of it was taken from the New York atmian,.Swhich can not be sompect mof tany fyer towa•Cthe enemy, and it may therefore be Concluded thatthese facts are suffLciently accurate. Inthis bloodyeonomnter, one mst readily admit that no disraceattached to the Northern troops who seem to havedone all that can be expectedof.men. Bttleles.-son hboold not be lost on those who have ben alltheir lives boasting ogf the repusaes which they haveinficted on British columns. The battle w-theuont American battle, such as has been foughtfathree great wars already, and i now likely so d.termine the event of a fourt!.In fact, the account we publibshed yesterdaymight, with changed names and nnmbefds, applyalmost accurately to the battle on. the Monnoga-hela, in which Braddock was defeated more than ahundred years ago, and which first brought thename of Washington into notice. The pedanticveteran, who, with his head foil of the art of war,marched through the wilderness as ifit were Flan-.ders, and had half his force destroyed by.harp-hooters from behind trees, ewas hot th forerpnnerof a Bnrgoyoe and a Paekeobam,.and now be hasa suocessor in a Federal commander. One cannotread without pity the fate of these unfortunatemen. The end was a perfect rout. The drowningof the men in attempting to recrass the river waa dreadful incident. Out of 1n00 men, the leao,according to the official report, was 680. Thin bat-tie is important as being, perhaps, the typa ofthose to come. What can the- Federa!o hope forin a country like Virginia bhut a snccession of Lees.bnrgs,fought against enemtes strongly posted, andending in defeats or dearly purchased victoriesalmost as fatal as defeats? The terror inspired bythe excesses of the Northern soldiers, which, badenough in reality, are immensely exaggerated bySouthern report, will make Virginians sell everymile of their coontry dearly, and, leave nothinghbut a desert as they retreat. The blood of theSouth has been thoroughly roused against the" In-vaders," and the way in which the Confederatesoldiers " crowded the high bank and poured anincessant fire into the scattered fugitives," whowere plunging into the Potomac, shows the temperin which the war will be condnucted. Well mayour Government and people be content that theyhave, as far as is in their power, sought taputastop to a contest which istjihting np the fiercestpeeioee of a people singularly irritable and vin.motive .

The Old North State.The Hen. lMr. McKay; of North Carolina, ad-

dressed the late Macon Oammercial Convention.From his remarks we take the following:

Well, sir, while I may boast of what my Stat.has done, I may boast of what the Southern Con-federacy is determined to do, I may be pardonedif I take up a few moments of your time in show-ing you what the city I hail from has already done,and is doing for the cause of the Southern Confed-eracy. While I cannot say, as has been remarkedby a gentleman from Charleston, that his tity wasfirst in this great cause, I may say, certalily say,that she is second to no other. Sir, in the city ofFayetteville we captured 40,000stand Of arme thatwere used in almost all our battle-fields' havingbeen supplied to soldiers from Georgia Florida,South Carolina and Virginia, and, I thmin Mfedls.ippi. Well, sir, after securing these eine, wM.telse have we done? My city, on the vote of theOrdinance of Secession, did not appear to domoch; she only polled between six and sevenhundred votes. She did not do her best; but whenshe came to furnish soldiers to fight in the cause,she sends out eight hundred and sixty, that arenow upon the soil of Virginia.

Well, sir, there are other things which we aredoing; we are manufacturing'things that the sol-diers in our army need, and that are wanted allover this Confederacy, and I stand here to-day tolet you know what we are doing. In the firstplace, then, I will show you something that has nbYankee about it. [Mr. McKay exhibited a bundleof socks that appeared to he very substantial.]These can be afforded at $1 75 per dozen, cheaperthan those we have been in the habit of reeeivingfroms those who were drinking up your life-blood,while they were taking the money out of yourpockets.

In doing this our ingenuity has not been ex.haosted. Here Is some sewing thread, containing600 yards to the ball. This beats your Yankeethread, Wilson, Seward & Co., and is afforded at84 cents per dozen, as cheap as the spools thatcontained but 200 yards, and as a friend behind mereminds me, that while they professed to runthataniount of yards, run only 751 They did not runhalf as far as the Yankees did when the Southern-er were after them.

Mr. McKay exhibited some cloth suitab:l forladies' dresses-the patterns of which were so be-onming that a gentleman, whose wife had clothed

herself therefrm last Sunday, remarked that hehad never seen her look so pretty in all her life- -.also some iron, called the black band Iron, whichhe showed, from a passage lie read from the reportof a geological surrey in North Carolina, by Pro-fessor Emmonds, to exist in inexhaustible quantiurItasn to lie on the surface of the ground. He alsoreferred to the coal mines, which he said were ableto supply not only tie whole Southern Conotedieracywith that indispensable article of comfort, but alsothe whole world. In the city of Fayetteville, hesaid, there were seven cotton factories, with anaggregate capital of $3P84,000, and the carriage fac-tory of A. A. Icflethan, who did a business in1860 of $90,000. He also alluded to the lead minesof North Carolina. He also referred, in conclusion,to the immense importance that North Carolinawould be to the Southern Confederacy. Penu-sylvania was not more important to the old Con-stitutional Union than North Carolina would be tothe Southern Confederaoy.

BIsTenoTAU fiALtNos.-Wo have conversed withseveral geatlennet this week, who were well t--formed as to the localities of the salines on Biste-neao. They state that tile quantiny of water, if'collected in reservoirs, is amply sufficient to supplythe wants of the country. Ti'here is an areaofover an acre front which the water rises to thesurface of the ground and runs ol in a bold stream.It is strongly imlpregnated with salt, as is shownby the yield wheen evaporated.

The demand being much greater than the sup-ply, and our stocks beilng too small now to meetthe wants ol the country, a fine field is open foreoter prielig capitalists to erect suitable machineryon the lake to make salt for this market. There isan immense scope of country west of Shreveportthat would be suppllied it' osr ptocks were largeand our price redeced.. To saccoplish so desira-ble an object, salt must be manufactured on LakeBliteneau and sold to the planters who tradewith us.

Patriotism and self-bnterest unite to induce capi-talists to go to work making salt, and the amountof meat to be salted is much larger than it hasbeen, and a greater quantity of salt is required tosave the bacon and to pickle beef. Bistenean saltis excellent for saving meat, as it has been testedthoroughly by the planters in Bossier. Ten thous-and sacks of salt can be sold io Shreveport in thenext three mothas. [Caddo Gazette.

(-eOTON BURNING GOisno ON.--The plantation ofJohn haven Mathewes, Esq., situated on BearIsland, near the mouth of Ashepoo River, wasvisited by the Lincolnites on Wednesday last. Ontheir approach, the proprietor, with noble patriot-ism, set fire to his entire crop, and was aboutplacing thie nmatch to his residence when a detach-ment of our cavalry arrived, and he spared thehouse for the troops to quarter in. Hr. Mathewesis a most extensive rice and cotton plauter, andwe learn has made a splendid crop this year. Mr.Edwaod Bayuard, of Edisto Island, has likewiseburned his whole crop of cotton, as well as hisresidence and the other buildings upon his planta-tion,. Such noble sacrifices to the cause of the'South deserve the highest praise.
