The Daily Dispatch: November 7, 1861., [Electronic resource], Prisoners of War. (search)
An important movement. --The Clarksville Chronicle is authorized by Dr. Blackburn, the agent of the Confederate States, to notice the fact that the government has rented a large slaughtering house in that city, and is ready, through its agents, to contract for any number of hogs and beeves during the packing season. The Chronicle states that the only object of the Government in this operation is to provide supplies of pork and beef for our army, and the plan of purchasing the live st. The producer will receive the highest market price — in either currency or treasury notes, as he may select — and the Government will at the same time save the enormous profit usually paid to speculators. Local agents will be appointed by Dr. Blackburn in the counties of this State and the counties of Kentucky adjacent to this, who will be empowered to make contracts, and it is to be hoped that all who have stock to sell will give the Government an opportunity to purchase the supplies.
