l benefit from the lesson: Confederate States of America, War Department,Richmond,Feb. 4, 1862. Hands of speculators have combined to monopolies all the saltpetre to be found in the country, and thus force from the Government exorbitant prices for an article in dispensable to the national defence. The Department has hitherto paid prices equal to four times the usual peace rates, in order to avoid recourse to impressment, if possible. This policy has only served to embolden the speculators to fresh exactions. It is now ordered that all military commanders in the Confederate States impress all saltpetre now or hereafter to be found within their districts, except such as is in the hands of the original manufacturer or of Government agents and contractors, paying therefore forty cents per pound, and no more. The price fixed is the highest rate at which contracts have been made, and leaves very large profits to the manufacturers. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of War.
