dome Markets.
We have not reported tho markets
becaitso tho prices of artielos c!
so rapidly, and the supplies so
that it was not doemod worth while to
make a report. We put the following
on irccord for futuro reference, and to
show the prospect of starvation :
Apples—"Played out” entirely.
Bacon—None in market, hast we
heard of trfls SO to 00 oonts.
Beef—“A few more of tho samo sort
left.” No steaks, all by tho quarter-
11 to 15 t'eVitS.
Butter—None in market. A little
on thofctroets occasionally at 75 cents.
'ButCti—H cents per bushel—very
.ScaVc'O.
'Gotten—Transactions very light, ow
ing to the peculiar state of political
affairs, and the difficulty of transpor-
tation—especially at sea.
Chickens—40 to 50 cents—with
tendency to fly ofl'—oX a tanguant.
Corn—None. Said to be worth $2,75
to $3,00 per bushel.
Cabbages—Dried up, and only pro
duced coliards.
. Candy—5 cents a stick, and the stieks
very short.
Eggs—Brought in entmely for tho
benefit of the soldiers in tho Hospital
at 75 cents per dozen
Flour—-Small quantities in tho hands
of the Bohemians at $40 por barrol.
Fruit—Dried, all bought up to make
sole-leather pies for the soldiors in the
Hospital.
Fish—Are like Glendowor’s spirits,
"in the vasty deep,” and won’t come
for being called. Mackerel, herring,
shad, sardines and even suckers, are
among the "things that Uoro.”
Groceries—Generally “ployed out.”
Hay, Shucks and Fodder—Very
scarce, and will bring almost any price
that may be askod.
Homespun— $1 to $1,50 per yard.
Jeans—$4 to $5 per yard.
.MoiasscBand Syrup—Nono in markot.

Substitutes—$2,000 a piooe—for a

ay the Factories aro all in contract with
the Government, whon the present
supply runs out, wo may “whistle” for
the next lot.
Our business affairs aro in a miserable
condition. Tho regular merchants,
with a few exceptions, have sold out,
and a great deal of business is now in
the bands of a Bet of Bohemians and
irregular traders, who aro determined
to "make their jack” while the war
last, and whose flinty-hearts permit
them to take advantage of tho times
to ask the most outrageous prices for
every article of commerce. There is
a terrible day of reckoning coming for
these ''specimens.of animated mud.”
The supply of edibles in our market
is very short, owing to the drought
last summer, and will-amount almost to
starvation, unless this ridiculous block’
ace on the railroads is raised, so that
articles may be shipped.
- The prospect for the crop of tho
noxt season is as fine as eould be de
sired, and if wo can get through' until
the next crop, all may yet be well.
!9*TheSole-leather Pie business has
been largely on the increase here since
the establishment of tho hospitals.
These pies are manufactured of flour,
water and dried peaches, without su
gar or lard, and are about as nutrioious
and digestible os a piece of sole-leather.
They are made and sold at enormous
rates, to soldiers in the hospitals, by a
set of miserable hucksters, who could
be better employed at some useful
work. Thesurgeons have Very Widely
prohibited hucksters from selling any
thing in; the hospitals.
19*A foreign inventor 1 offers a new
method for making bread. After hav
ing boiled one third of peeled apples,
bruise them while quite warm into two-
thirds of flour, including the proper
quantity of leaven, ' and knead tho
whole without water, the juioe of the
fruit being sufficient. When the mix
ture has acquired the consistency of
paste, put|jt into a vessel and allow it
to rise for%,bout twelve houra. By this
process is obtained a very sweetbread,
full of eyes and extremely light.
of Him who wont’about doing good,
take it upon themselves to minister to
tho wonts of these poor suffering, dying
men.
19* M. Knuftnan, of the Light
Guards, will leave on Monday next,
to join the Regiment. He will take
any letters jhat may bo left at M.
Kohn's.
89*Many of the soldiers in tho Hos
pitals need little nutrioious delicucies
that can only bo obtained through tho
kindness of the citizens, which ought
to bo supplied to them if possible. There
are many of our nobio hearted women
noing a good work in this respect, but
there are opportunities for much more.
Our country iVioinis can do a great
deal in this respect, by sending in their
surplus edibles that would suit a sick
palate. But do net act as soma have,
who brought in butter and eggs, for
instanco, and refusa to soil to citizens,
as they were for the soldiers, and then
charge tho soldiers 75 cts per pound for
butter, and 75 per dozen fereggs. This
is bcnefltting tho soldiers "with o von-
gennoe.”
Cotton Cards.
Tho Mouthorn Recorder at Miliudgc-
villc says, "tho only machine os yet in
operation turns out one pair (of Cotton
cards) each hour, running botli day
and night, 7'he preference in tho sale
of Cords is given to soldiers’ wives and
thoso wiio fuvuish skins, for without
them Cards cannot be made. Fifty
conts is allowed for as much tanned
skin as will make a pair, and twenty-
five for as much raw hide of each dog,
Bheop, goat, or calf—the cards rated at
six dollars por pair. There is a greater
demand for cards than can at present
be fillod. Tanned skins are how want
ed and preferred.
I9*lt is stated that tho powerful new
steamship Britannia,, which recently
commoncod to run between the Tyne
and Edinburg, has beon purchased for
the Confederate Government in Amer
ica.
ggP’Tho first intelligence of the cap
ture of the California steamer Ariel, by
tho Alabama, was received in New York
from San Francisco, by telegraph. The
message was transmitted in less than
two hours—over four thousand miles
Tho first repeating station was Chicago,
a distance of two thousand fivo hundred
and fifty miles.
B9*The'Charlest’n Courier says it is
a puzzling question to somo friends,
prono to statistics, whethortheConscrip
tjon law has given as many efficient
soldiers to the army as it has given ud
vertisemonts to printers, and jobs to
the tailors for uniforms for enrolling
officers. i
tho men woujd hardly surrender tho.
plaeo without a struggle. ' ' ;
After three days’ eanuonado Don
Frederic ordered on assault; but met
with a resistance that astonished tho
Spaniards. Tho church bells rung the
alarm throughout tho city, and tho
whole population swarmed to tho walls.
Tho besiegers wero encountered not
only with sword and musket, but with
every implement which tho burghers’
hands could find. Heavy stones, boil
ing oil, I’ve coals, wero hurled upon
the heads of the soldiers j hoopis, smear
ed with pitch and set on firo, were dex
terously thrown upon their necks. Even
Spanish courage and Spanish ferocity
were obliged to shrink before the steady
determination of a whole population
animated by a single spirit. Many
officers wore killed nud wounded, ana
three or four hundred soldiors loft dead
in the breach, while only tliroo or four
of tho townsmen lost their lives. The
signal of recall was reluctantly givon;
and tho Spanish libandonnd the assault.
It was now obvious to Dan Frederic
that a siogo must precede tho mussaoio.
lie gave ordors, therefore, that the rav
elin should be undermined.
On the 31st of January, after tliroo or
four days’ cannonade, Don Frederic or
dered a midnight assault.
A tremendous onset was made on tho
gate of the cross, and tho- ravelin was
carried and lost. Tho Spaniards pour
ed into this fort expecting instantly to
swoop into tho city with sword and firo.
As they mounted its wall they became
for the first time aware o( the new and
strong fortification winch hud been se
cretly constructed on the innor side.—
A half moon roso before them, bristling
with cannon. I sharp firo was instant-.,
ly opened upon the besiegers, while at.
the samo instant tho ravelin, which the
citizens had undermined, blew up, car
rying into tho air all the soldiors who
had just entered it so triumphantly.
This was tho turning point, ’(’ho re
treat was sounded, .and the Spaniards
fled to their-camp, leaving at least three
hundred dead boneath the walls. This
wss a second assault, made by an over
whelming force, and led by the mest
accomplished Generals of- Spain, sig
nally and gloriously rcpoled by tho
plain burghers of Harlem.
‘rile whole population big been long
subsisting upon an allowance of a
pound of bread to each man, and half
a pound to each woman, but the bread
was now exhausted; the famine had
already begun. Through the month of
June tlio sufferings of the inhabitants
increased hourly. Ordinary food had
long since vanished. Tho population
now subsislal on linseed and and rape
seed. As these supplies woro exhaust
ed they dovoured eats, dogs, rats and
mice, and when at last theso unclpan
animals had all been consumed, they
boiled tho hides of horses and" oxon ;
they uto shoo leathei ; they plucked
tho nettles and grass from the grave
yards, and tho weeds that grow betwoon
the stones of tho pavement.
Mon, women and children fell dead
in tho streets, perishing of pure-sturva-
lion, and the survivors hud hardly tho
strength to bury them out of their sight,
yet still they refusod to surrender.

that tho amount of gold received in

The Way the Yankees Elect Sena
tors.—The following paragraph from
the Philadelphia Inquirer ol the 14th,
will give our readers some idea of tlio
manner in which Northern Senators are
elected :
One laot is certain. Any democrat
voting for Simon Cainoron would linv
been annihilated. If this had not tnkeii
place on the spot, it would have occur
red in twenty-four hours. Of tlie four
or fivo hundred men in tlio galleries,
every one was provided witli a handbill,
having inscribed upon in large letters
the names of all the democratic mem
bers. This was referred to when each
vote was givon. There is reason to ho-
lievo tiiat- many of the visitors were
armed. Rumor lias it that as the voto
of ono momber, who was considered,
"doubtful,” was about to bo given, c
stahvorth stranger stepped to his side,
and held tho position until tho choice
wrs unuouncod. Ho would have been
a bold man who would havo dared to
oxeito tho iro of that stahvorth jndivid
ual.
Gav.u.uv and Gi-nuoats.—Among the
novelties whioh this extraordinary war
has produced are the instances whioh
havo repeatedly occurred, of lato of cjiv
airy capturing gunboats. A friend sug
gests tiiat our horses should bo fitted

l’ho gunboats, it must bo admitted,
have fallon amazing from their originu .

demolished thcji- iron clads, they have
beon gradually sinking to their proper
