Tennessee (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 1
rocuring supplies by railroad, is by paying Express rates. This is a disreputable mode of evading the charter restrictions upon the railroads prohibiting higher rates than eight cents per ton per mile. Not only might sugar, salt, and nearly all articles of Southern production, be procured at reasonable rates, if the railroads would only transport the freight of the people, but many articles not of Southern growth could be materially brought down in price. We understand the depots in Tennessee and Kentucky are filled with dry and miscellaneous goods brought in from the North before the communications with the enemy were cut off; and that there would be no scarcity of the larger variety of goods needed by the public, if only the railroads would bring on the freight waiting for transportation. The people might be saved, probably, half the expenses of the war, in the lower prices they would have to pay for supplies and goods, if only the railroads could be brought to do their duty

ences. At any other time than during a period of war, the people might afford to pay seven dollars a sack for salt and twenty and thirty cents a pound for sugars; but if they are forced unnecessarily to pay these prices during the pendency of war, a large tax is extorted from them by private speculators, which diminishes that far their capacity for contributing help to the country in its struggle. We have on former occasions shown that there is really no deficiency of salt in the Confederate States. We have pointed out the specific means from which an increase of supply can be procured more than sufficient to compensate for any falling off from the stoppage of importations. But, notwithstanding that the supply is abundant, yet, owing to the failure of the railroads to transport it from the points of manufacture to the points of consumption, it is bringing in some localities the enormous price we have named. There is especially in Virginia not only enough salt to supply her own

inia not only enough salt to supply her own wants, but enough also to furnish all they need to at least half the Southern Confederacy. It is blocked, however, for the want of transportation on the railroads. We understand that many of the depots on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad have considerable stocks of salt held by speculators, and that these are confident of making large profits on the property, from the belief that the road itself will not bring down salt from the Salines, in Smyth county, in quantities to meet the demands of the market. Much allowance is to be made to the railroads for the heavy transportation they are obliged to do for the Government; but this should not be permitted to produce a total suspension of transportation for the people. If the railroads refuse to make arrangements for transporting ample supplies of such an article of necessity as salt for general consumption, they fail to perform their duty to the public, and become a curse to the communi
W. Wildt (search for this): article 1
Housebreaking. --The shop of Mr. W. Wildt, on Broad street, between 6th and 7th, was feloniously entered on Saturday night last, and over $500 worth of watches, jewelry, &c., stolen therefrom. The fellow entered by removing the transom over the street door, and crawling in through the aperture thus made.--It was a bold undertaking, the door being immediately upon Broad, one of the streets most frequented both day and night. Certainly, burglary is becoming most too common a crime in our city. No arrests have been made of any of the offenders. They are evidently experienced criminals, and the officers must be watchful and always on the alert if they capture them.

Reporter very suddenly subsides, but immediately draws sundry papers containing his record, which he spreads upon the table. To make matters still stronger, he claims relationship with Jeff.

From our own correspondent. Writing under Difficulties--Richmond Papers in Demand — The "Old Lady" and Your "Own."--A Reprimand for an Interview with Federal Soldiers — Fine Horses, &c., &c. Fairfax C. H., Sept. 20, 1861. Having just returned from a long and very interesting ride, a description of which would prove quite readable did not prudence forbid it, I seat myself to give you an item or two, which is all the present quiet will afford. Stern necessity will compel me to write with steam-engine speed to the conclusion of this letter, and to cut it extremely short, or else be left in darkness. On going to our room this evening it was found that our landlord had run completely out of candles, and that there were none for sale in the village of Fairfax. From this predicament we were relieved by a lieutenant in the army, who kindly gave us four inches of his own. While this short piece is rapidly wasting away, I take advantage of its feeble illumination and impro
