We approve the following sug
gestion to farmers having tanneries of their
own; but that need not hinder capitalists
from putting up more extensive ones, which
f . can begin to turn out their tanned skins as
die fanner can—and that is a great ob
ject:
Tan Leather.—During the war, or
uQtil the blockade is discontinued, leather
and shoes must be high. We advise every
farmer to have a tan vat prepared and tan
his own leather, and have his own shoes
made. Tanneries are going up in differ
ent sections of the country, but it will be
several years before they can supply the
demand for leather in the South, and dur
ing this time let the fanners supply the
lack by tanning their own leather. We
have plenty of shoemakers in the country
whose bu3ioess lias been destroyed by the
Yankee work, who will make better shoes,
and in the end we may gain by giving
diem employment in making up the home
tanned leather.
The Richmond Dispatch has a
provokingly plain way of stating the truth
\\ itliout any special fear of offending “our
Noilhem liiends. JThe Dispatch says:
Every reader must rentemher the ver
bose and grandiloquent style ip which the I
late expedition to Charleston was describ
ed by (lie New York press, and any one
would have thought from these accounts
that Charleston was to be swallowed at a
mouthful, i hey sera the most powerful
fleet ever collected in one squadron by the
United States; they sent six thousand fight
ing men, and every variety ol equipments
and munitions of war. And yet. Major
Anderson was made to surrender, and the
mighty fleet stood off during the fight, and
did not dare to lund a man, nor fire a gun,
nor raise a finger for Ins relief. When
New York utters “great swelling words of
vanity,” men ought not to forget the late
illustration off Charleston harbor of prom
ise and performance.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION.
Gov. Jackson’s proclamation says that a
series of unlooked for and unlawful outrages
have been inflicted upon the peace and digni
ty of this Common weath, and upon the rights
and liberties of its people, by wicked and
unprincipled men, professing to act under the
authority of the federal government. Solemn
enactments of vour legislature have been nul
lified. Your volunteers and soldiers have
been arrested. Commerce with sister States
has been suppressed—trade with your own
fellow citizens has been subjected to the har
rassing control of armed soldiers. Peaceful
citizens have been imprisoned without war
rant, and unoffending and defenselss men, wo
men and children, have been ruthlessly shot
down and murdered. Other unbearable in
dignities have been heaped upon your State
ami yourselves. To this you have submitted
with patriotic forbearance, which has only
encouraged more daring usurpations. My
object has been to preserve peace and avert
war from our borders. With that view Gen.
Pi ice arranged with Gen. Harney. The State
goverment faithfully adhered to the agreement.
The Federal government manifested its disap
probation by tlie dismissal of Gen. Harney,
and commenced proceedings utterly hostile to
fh<» agreement. Wavinar the diirnitv 6f Mis
souri, I solicited an interview with Col. Lyon,
and made proposition more honorable to the
Federal Government than to Missouri, and
that if the federalists would withdraw, 1
would pledge the disbandment of the militia,
forbid the introduction of arms into the State,
protect all citizens regardless of their politi
cal opinions—repress all insurrections main
tain strict neutrality—and if necessary to
carryout these pledges would call for Federal
assistance. Nothing but a desire to avert the
horrors of civil war could have induced these
humiliating propositions. They were re
jected.
Governor Jackson has called out 50,000
militia to repel the invaders.
Sr. Louis, June 13.—W. O. Barret, brother
of the late Congressman, has been arrested
for treason—other prominent citizens are im
plicated.
Federal troops are being distributed through
Missouri. Three steamers are at the Arsenal
taking troops, destined for Jefferson City.
The Osage bridge, on the Pacific Railroad,
has been burned.
At Fortress Monroe a truce was flagged and
a detachment went to Great Bethel to bury
the dead.

Starvation at our Door.—One
thousands hogsheads of prime bacon reach

road. It looked very much like the Wes
tern article—very similar to some we
have seen in “Smsinnatty”—but we are
not so verdant as to tell “Abe Linkum”
where it did come from. We do
not hesitate, however, to say that we are
informed by knowing ones, that there’s
oceans of the article where this came from,
and that it can be obtained for the money
—blockade or no blockade—and Salmon
Pugstaflf Chase’s orders to the contrary,
“notwithstanding, nevertheless and but.”
Starving the South! What an idea! Wc
did suppose that Lincoln and his Cabinet
were a little ahead of natural born fools

by our batteries. Carpenters were at ,
work on her all Saturday night, all Sunday

since. The carpenters can he seen from
the Virginia shore by day with the aid of
glasses, and at night the sound of their
saws and hammers is distinctly heard.— (
A full wagon load of the damaged timbers
removed for repairs, have washed ashore,
and much of it has been secured by our
soldiers and distributed among friends as
relics. My informant relates many inter

incorporate in a further letter.
