MURDOCK, ■po THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA The termination of a sanguinary contest, which foi the past four years has presented an impassable barrier to all social or commercial lnteiconrse between the two great sections of onr country, having at length happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of those relations which formerly bound ns together in a fraternal anion, I take the earliest opportunity afford ed me by this suspicions event, to greet my Sonthem fiends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that ex. tensive business connection which for a quarter of a century has been uninterrupted save by the great pub lic calamity to which I have adverted. It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a busi ness re-anion, I should repeat the warning so often given to my friends,—to beware of all those spurious and deleterious compounds which, under the specious and false titles of Imported Wines, Brandies, Holland Gin, Liquors, Ac,, have been equally destructive to the health of our citizens and prejudicial to the interest of the legitimate Importer. Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac complish this salutary purpose, and to place before my friends and the public generally; at the lowest .possible market price, and in such quantities as might suit their convenience, a truly genuine imported arti cle. . Twenty-five years’ business transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass ed facilities for supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors, and Liqners of the best and most ap proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the “Schie dam Schnappe.’ The latter, so long tested and aDDroved by th» mod. leal Faculties of the United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli mates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cu pidity of the home mannfactarers and venders of a spurious article uuder the same name. I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, snr ronnded all my importations with safeguards and di rections which with ordinary circumspection will In sure their delivery, as 1 receive them from Europe, to all my customers. * I would, however, recommend in all cases where it is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22 Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, &c., in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign wines, embracing vintages of many past years, bottled np before the commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the early atten tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally at the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the present large and well selected assortment UDOLPHO WOLFE, ju23 lm 22 Beaver street New York.

They are sunburnt and scrag gy half ana sport a suspicious-looking blanket over their shoulders. Their clothes are of a dirty gray or a dirtier butternut, and they are very independent in the matter of shoes, some wearing a boot and a slipper, others boots of anew patent, which slope away from the heel, as if, by some transpor tation, the entire foot had settled into the toes. Bat with all this hesitation and un cleanness, it is the strange, sad, weary, lost look upon their faces which makes these folks noteworthy. They are political exiles—a class of men of which we have read, but whom we never expected to see among us, speaking our tongue, aud but late our kins men and companions. They are here by thousands, broken, hope less, and penniless, waiting to go to their ruined homes, but so fearful of meeting the changed spectacle that they dally and tarry, and look up to the high marble edifices land the lace curtains in our beautiful homes, as if they were quite hungry and astray, and spoke another language than ours. Might it not be well to make these misera ble beings the apostles of good faith to the wasted South, of which they represent every section? Does it concern Mr. Stanton to think that these three thousand men, well clothed and well fed, and transported in good condition to their homes, would be quite as effective arguments against insurrection as the heads on certain of their statesmen which he is anxious to transmit. In cleanly hospitals, in spacious and beau tiful barracks our own negroes, sick aud spent, are provided for. Three thousand suits of garments would cost only a trifle, and be not the meanest among the daily char ities we project. So cared lor, New York would gain anew hold upon the heart of the South, which she so long and so prosperously enjoyed, whereas,, to-day, these refugee peo ple are eye-sores on our streets, and ripe, in their extremity, for any deed of theft or vio lence. There are hidden in these gnarled beards and tangled eyebrows many handsome coun tenances. A change of raiment does much to belp one’s character. Some of these rebel 6oldiersare dressed from top to toe in federal blue, and they make very dashing fellows, so much like our own that anybody might mis take them for Meade’s or Sherman’s heroes. They live in a world of contrasts, and what they see makes them wild to think of what they were, and how they are scattered and crashed. In four years they built a revolution which ma<je the globe crackle; their liag was on the seas; their diplomats were received by princes; these same scarred, surly boys who walk our streets, opened their breasts to the shock of armies, and wherever their camp fires blazed, next night a graveyard stretched under the horizon. The penalty of that rev olution was all they did not anticipate. And this it is—a Weary walking in the opulent city of their enemy, a begging of a morsel of meat or a fragment of tobacco, a prying into bar-room window* with their lips afire, and a pair of old boots down at the he J, and pointing obliquely nowhere. Specimens of Western oratory are rathe* stale, but here is a bit, related by a trust-* worthy authority as authentic, which has not been in print before: “ Where is Europe, compared with America ? Nowhar! I hey call England the mistress of the sea; but what is the sea ? The Mississippi nver makes it. And all we’ve got to do is to turn the Mississippi into the Mammoth Care, and the English navy will be floundering in the mud.” PRICE. 5 CENTS Card* and tbe Bible. The following carious broadside is taken from an English newspaper of the year 1774, and is there called cards spiritualized: “The Perpetual Almanac, or Soldier’s Prayer Book, giving an account of Richard Lane, a private, belonging to the *7th Regi ment of foot, who was taken before the mayor of the town of Glasgow, for playing at cards during divine service.” The sergeant commanded the soldiers at church, and when the parson read the pray ers he took his text Those who had a Bible took it out; but this soldier had neither a Bible nor common Prayer Book; but, pull ing out a pack of cards, he spread them out before him. He first looked at one card and then at the other. The sergeant of the com pany saw him, and said— “ Richard, put up the cards; tliis is no place for them.” “Never mind that,” said Richard. When the service was over, the constable took Richard prisoner and brought him be fore the mayor. “Well," said the mayor, “what have you brought that soldier here for?” “For playing at cards in church.” “Well, soldier, wtyit have you to say for yourself?” “Much, sir, I hope.” “Very good; if not, I will punish you more than man ever was punished.” , “I have been,” said the soldier, “about six weeks on the march. I have neither Bi ble nor Common Praj er Book. I have no thing but a pack of cards, and I hope to sat isfy your worship of the purity of my inten tion." “Very good,” said the mayor. Then, spreading the cards before the may or, he began with the Ace: “When I see the Ace, it reminds me these is but one God. “When I see the Deuce, it reminds me of Father and Son. “When I see the Tray, it reminds me of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. When I see the Four, it reminds me of the four Evangelists that preached, viz : Math ew, Mark, Luke and John. “When I see the Five, it reminds me of the five Wise Virgins that trimmed their lamps. There were ten, but five were fools; and were shut out. “When 1 see the Six. it reminds me that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth. “When I see the seven, it reminas me that on the seventh dav God rested from the works He made, and hallowed it. • “When I see the Eight, it reminds me of the eight righteous persons that werejsaved when God drowned the world, viz: Noah and his wife, bis three sons and their wives. “When I see 4he Nine, it reminds me of the nine Lepers that were cleaned by our Saviour. There were ten, but nine never re turned thanks. “When I see the Ten, it reminds me of the Ten Commandments which God handed down to Moses on a table of stone. “When I see the King, it reminds me of the Great King of Heaven, which is God Al mighty. “When I see the Queen, it reminds me of the Queen of Shebd, who went to hear the wisdom of Solomon, for she was as wise a woman as he was a man. She brought with her fifty boys and fifty girls, all dressed in boys apparel, for King Solomon to tell which were boys and which were girls. King Sol omon sent for water for them to wash them selves ; the girls washed to the elbows, and the boys only to the wrists—so King Solo mon told by this.” “Well,” said the mayor, “you have given a description of all the cards in the pack ex cept one.” “Which is that ?” asked the soldier. “The Knave,” said the mayor. » “I will give your honor a description of that, too, if you will not be angry.” “I will not,” said the mayor, “if you will not term me to be a knave.” * “Well," »i*aid the soldier, “the greatest knave I know is the constable that brought me here.” “I do not know,” said the mayor, “wheth er he is the greatest knave, but I know he is the greatest fool.” “When I cdunt how many spots In a pack, I find three hundred and sixty-five—as many days as there are in the year. “When I count the number of cards in a pack, I find there are fifty-two—as many weeks as there are in a yaar. And I find four suits—the number of weeks in a month. “I find there aro twelve picture cards in the pack, representing the number of months in the year; and on counting the tricks, I find thirteen—the number of weeks in a quar ter. So you see, sir, the pack of cards serves for a Bible, Almanac and Common Prayer Book to me.” A Plague in Asia. —While the Russian disease has raged with such ferocity in the North of Europe, there is an epidemic ra ging in Mediva and Mecca, Asia. It there takes the form of both of typhus _ and cholera. On the eve of Courboam-Beiram, and during the first and second days of the feast, this terrrific scourge carried off no less than 46,000 victims among the pilgrims, and though the intensity of the plague is somewhat abated, multitudes still perish.— The inhabitants have fled, and the streets are filled with corpses. Os the Persian Pil grims alone, no less than 5,000 have fallen victims, among whom is the sheik Miraa Hachim, who, saint as he was reputed to be, has perished with his whole household, com posed of the ten persons. Sheriff Abdullah Pacha has taken refuge at Tai£ and the Governor-General Vedji Pacha, after having lost a son and daughter, has himself fallen dangerously ill- The Extinct Armies. —The armies of the Tennessee, as organizations, are now ex tinct. The only corps now in existence are the following : The Fourth, General Wood, considerably reduced, and sent to the De partment of the Gulf; the Thirteenth, Gen. Steele going to Texas ; the Sixteenth, Gen eral A. J. Smith, in Alabama and Mississippi, small in numbers; the Twenty-third, re duced to a good-sized division, and garri soning North Carolina, under General Hu ger ; the Twenty-fourth, garrisoning Vir ginia, with its remaining regiments; the Twenty-fifth (colored,) mostly gone to Tex as, under Gen. Weitzel.
