BY THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA.
A PROCLAMATION.
_ Tho General Assembly,.at its late extra ses
sion, called for the purpose, by me, appropriat
- ed a half million of dollars for the purchase of
salt for the citizens of this Commonwealth.
Immediately upon the passage of the act I
ordered the Quartermaster of the State forces to
procure transportation, in the shortest possible
time, for hauling from the Kanawha Salines,
all the salt which his means of transportation
would enable him to accomplish, and I caused
him to be fiynished with ample funds for the
purpose. The inroads of the enemy into the
Kanawha Valley and the destruction of all con
veyances which fell into his hands, and the trans
portation of our own armies to and from that
section of the State, had so effectually occupied
or destroyed all the wagons and teams, that they
could not be procured there, and the country
had been so thoroughly devastated, that it was
necessary to send, with the wagons procured
elsewhere, all the produce requisite for the sup
port of the teams going and returning. Every
effort was made promptly to procure the trans
portation, but the distance and the difficulties to
be encountered rendered rapid movements im
practicable. The consequence has been that, be
fore the train of wagons which had been organ
ized and were on their way thither could reach
their destination, the enemy, in superior force,
•again appeared at the Kanawha Salines, and our
army has been compelled to fall back, and but
an insignificant amount of salt has been obtained
by individuals and none under the orders given.
Having made .these arrangements, I issued a
proclamation taking possession of all the salt
• then on hand, or that might be made, at the
Salt Works in Smyth and Washington counties.
I immediately set out in person for Saltville,
hoping to obtain there a supply to meet the
wants of the people. When I arrived I found
that the contracts then existing With the Con
federate States, with sister Southern States, and
with county and corporation Courts in this
Conamonweaithj were of such a character, that
this abrogation would result in interminable con
flicts and difficulties, in breaches of faith and in
incalcuable distress. I found, too, that instead of
purchasing for money, the necessary supplies,
the fuel, transportation; labor and machinery for
these immense works, a system had prevailed for
years to barter them for salt* that written orders
were given for salt, for the amount bartered,
and that these orders had become the subject of
speculation and extortion. That this necessarily
absorbed a very large amount of the salt manu
factured, and that the proprietors were forced to
furnish the salt necessary to meet these orders,
or have their works stopped for the want of sup
plies. All these circumstances rendered it im
proper and unadvisable for me to take possession
of the Works and work them on State account-
It was impossible to put up new works in time to
meet the immediate wants of the State, my outy
alternative, therefore, was to purchase all the
salt over and above existing contracts that could
be manufactured within any reasonable time.—
After considerable difficulty, I made a contract
with responsible parties to furnish the State with
150,000 bushels of salt, that being the full capa
city of manufacture by the existing works, af
ter supplying existing contracts. The salt is to
be furnished in bags or barrels and delivered on
the cars, at Saltville, a branch of the Virginia
and Tennessee railroad, at the price of §2 33J
per bushel.
It was my earnest desire to obtain the largest
quantities at the earliest periods. But I found
this impracticable. The eont*-act requires the
parties to furnish the quantity contracted for as
follows: 15,000 bushels in the month of No
vember, at the rate of 800 bushels per day, and
45,080 bushels in each of the months of Decem
ber, January and February, at the rate of 1800
bushels per day.
As it was specially stipulated in the contract
made, that the delivery of the salt contracted
for, to the State, should not interfere with ex
isting contracts made with the government of
the Confederate States, or with any separate
State of the Confederate States, or with any
connty or corporation court of this State, and as
large snpplies are being furnished under these
there will not be so great a competi
tion in the market, aud our people need not
submit to the extortion of speculators; and es
pecially, as sixty of the counties and corpora
tions of the State will, under their contract. .
obtain upwards of 800,000 bushels in addition
to the amount me, it is hoped that
that amount, though not as great as could have
been desired, will mitigate in some measure the
urgent wants of the people.
To cover all costs and charges incident to
purchase, transportation and distribution, I have
fixed the sum of three dollars per bushel, as
the price to be paid by all recipients of salt un
der the law, being at the rate of six cents per
pound! And Ido hereby proclaim, according
to law, that the sale of any salt obtained under
the State contract and distributed by authority
of this proclamation at a higher price than at
the rate of six cents per pound under any pre
text whatever is a misdemeanor, and the sale of
each pound thereof, at a higher price, is declar
fed by law to be a separate offence and the per
son convicted thereof is liable to a fine of not
less than one hnndred nor more than two thou
sand dollars.
To carry out the provisions of the law, the
regulations hereto appended have been prescrib
ed by me, and any violation thereof is also de
clared by the law to be a misdemeanor, to be
punished by a like fine.
