Suicide. --A telegraphic dispatch, received by the Agent of the Express Company in this city, states that Mr. Jacob Spooner, recently the agent of that company here, committed suicide by hanging himself in his room at the Burnett House, in Cincinnati, on Saturday last. Mr. Spooner was on his return to this city from the North, where he had been for a second time within the past two months, for the purpose of bringing out ladies and children to their families in the South. The deceased had been a resident of Savannah for several years, and was known as a very correct and obliging business man, of very regular habits and amiable disposition. His health had been infirm, he being a sufferer from dyspepsia, to which, perhaps, his death should be attributed.--Savannah News.

ommunication, a communication which appeared before the present war, and intended for all America, but which appeals with ten-fold force to the South in her present circumstances. The writer shows most clearly, at every period in the history of the world, "the people who have abandoned to foreign nations the supply of salt, were chastised, sooner or later, for their carelessness."--Various articles from the same forcible pen have appeared in BeBow's Review, and the journals of New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston.

at they consume at first, and afterwards exchange the residue with inferior races or foreign countries? But how short is the indigenous production from the present consumption in the Confederate and United States?--Instead of producing all their salt, they are importing yearly 17 millions of bushels, and especially all the sea salt wanted for their provisions and Northern fisheries. During 1858, for instance, New York imported 3,372-566 bushels of foreign salt; Charleston 814,151 Bushels; Savannah 816,669 bushels; and so on, in Philadelphia, New Orleans and other places. So that the total importation causes a waste of two or three millions of dollars, which certainly would be better applied to internal improvements and cultivation of the Southern sea-coasts. Now, I ask if the Confederate States are rich enough to pay for her salt, as France for her glory? We must even confess it frankly: young America, confident in a dream of perpetual peace, as much perhaps as in her producti
