to believe that a party wished to buy for speculation, we refused to sell him any. We have asked no one more than 75 cents per bushel, while we have been offered $2 in gold per bushel and refused it. A gentleman in your city offered a few weeks ago to take 100,000 bushels of us, in instalments of 10,000 bushels per month, at $1, 50 per bushel, which we likewise refused. The small amount of salt which we have sold in Lynchburg, through McDaniel & Irby, and in Richmond, through Sports & Harvey, at $3,50 to $4 per sack, (they being our sole agents in those places,) may have netted us a few cents over 75 cents; but, we think, if any, not more than enough to cover risk. If any man can bring a particle of proof going to show that we have realized, or attempted to realized, more than 75 cents per bushed for salt, we call on him now to bring it forward. It any gentleman holding our receipt for money thinks as capable of the conduct which your editorial seems to impute to us, we th

ated, class of individuals charged with the duty of hunting up the news. Yesterday the Mayor presided with his usual grace and dignity, but as our report shows, did not do anything specially brilliant, the material for any clever performance being non est. Case of Wm.

ly down, and there's not a drink to be had from Rocketts to Screamersville. Who is me. Where are all the soldiers ?--Even they are not visible, except in the day time. Would that I were the head of a barrel of the best old Bumgardner ! Oh! that the Yankees were in Hades, and I was in Washington at Kioman's or Benter's or that Cinskey was Postmaster of the House and this was the last night of the session ! I want a glass of ale. A fellow could get a very good hot whiskey punch at Brown's, or at the corner back of Brown's, in the old days; and Green, who kept the Columbian (I think it was the Columbian) there by the General Post Office, was not a bad hand for refreshments. Biggs and I have had many a drink in that basement. But here — morals. I think I hear you say good morals, and me thinks you mentioned the peace of society and the health of the army. But what is good order compared to good liquor ? I tell you I want a drink, and it is not to be had for love, money, or Harvey.
