PBIVATI INFORMATION FROM THE
NORTH.
A party just from the North, who had enjoy
ed peculiar advantages of informing himself of
public sentiment, gives the Richmond Exami
ner some interesting news gathered by him du-
ring bis visit:
In Washington, where he waa for a long time
nothing was talked of but the news from
Grant's army. Little interest was felt in other
;!jn« of the war. and the popular heart, seem
<« " »*• “SfIKSSK
dishssed the prospect of Grant s success most
anxiously, arid it was admitted on all hides
“at the Presidential question hinged on the
matter —that it would form the great and ex
clusive topic in the coming cam iaign. that it
Grant succeeded the Republican party would
walk over the coarse and Lincoln would be
wife for another term : but if he was defeated,
the Republican party would be ruined . me
mahscß would see the hopelessness of the war ;
a desire for peace would spiing up ; the peace
party would be strengthened and Lincoln, Rew
ard C base & Cos. would go by the board, bo
it is regarded in the North—a political, as well
as a military, crisis. Grant and Richmond is
made to mean Lincoln and a prolongation of
the war ; on one depends the other. If Grant
succeeds, Lincoln succeeds ; if Grant is beaten,
Lincoln is beaten.
The campaign in Virginia, on this account,
was looked upon in Washington with rather
more political than military interest, and the
politicaos were pushing the Administration to
risk everything for Richmond, and to send
Grant the last man. And this seemed the pol
icy decided upon at the White House, for re
inforcements, have been passing through Wash
ington to the front every day for more than
two weeks. Where they came from it was not
known ; but it was obvious that they were
drawing troops from every point they could.
Hardly a regiment has been left around Wash
ington to man the defences. The cry every
where was, “On to Richmond.”
fiom what cur informant saw and heard in
Washington, he does not think that Grant is
going to risk a battle for Richmond. Indeed
he says that it was openly advocated by the
Republican Congressmen—and he was within
ear-shot of them many a time—that the true
policy was for Grant to get as close to Rich-
Piond us he can without a tight, and invest the
city and move upon it after the manner of
Vicksburg. I'his seemed to be so universally
conceded in Washington to be the settled poli
cy 0 f the administration that it was generally
rumored, arid our informant heard no contra
diction of it, that Lincoln had given Grant
positive orders against risking a battle lor
Richmond, Imt had directed him to adhere
closely to the game plan of operations as he
did before Vicksburg; and that the much cov
eted prize would be as surely won by him as it
was in that instance.
One tilin'? that give great confidence to the
Washington authorities in this policy was the
belief that universally prevailed with them
that Pemberton is in command of the defences
of Richmond, und that the whole movements
of the armies are under tho direction of Bragg.
Erroneous as it may be, we are told that this
impression prevails throughout the North—
Washington, Baltimore and New York—that
Pemberton and Bragg are the especial guard
ians of Richmond; that Bragg outranks Lee;
and the military movements of the armies are
under the control and direction of Bragg.—
This is tho understanding of matters in the
North, and tbe circumstance of Pemberton and
Bragg being chief in command around Rich
mond lias ho buoyed the confidence ol the
North in the belief of its early capture, that
it is a common wager in the Aankee Capital,
with great odds, that Richmond will fall by
the Fourth of July.
Our inforant tells us that he saw this wager
posted on the table ol the card-writer at Wil
lards, Hotel, offering to bet five thousand dol
lars, in gold, that Grant would eat his
fouith of July dinner in Richmond. It seemed
to be regarded that the capture of Richmond
was merely a question to be decided between
Grant and Pemberton, and the people seemed
to take it for granted that the issue would be
a repetition of tho siege of Vicksburg. Such
wk'h the influence of Pemberton’s name, that as
soon as it was rumored in the North that he
was ill command of the defences of Richmond,
Grant's stock ran up fifty per cent., and gold
declined four cents on the dollar, showing the
great influence a little circumstance may exert.
Our informant confirms the tremendous losses
sustained by Grant in the battles about Ispott
sylvania Court House. The administration or
gans try to make it appear that his loss will
not amount to over fifty thousamd, but in pri
vate circles in Washington the lowest estimate
admitted that it would reach seventy five
thousand in killed, wounded and missing.
A Baltimore paper had given this estimate,
and was immediately suppressed for daring to
tell the truth. The peace men of the North
argue that Grant has lost more than three
times as many men as any other commander of
the Army, of the Potomac, and that he lias ac
complished nothing in a railit >ry point of view.
They say that not as much confidence is felt in
his ability to take Richmond as there was be
fore he began to move, and in proof of this
they point to the fact that gold is higher than
when tbe campaign opened.
There is, no doubt, a great deal of discon
tent in the North, but our informant thinks
that all depends upon the issue of the next
battle. There >sa great deal of talkof "peace,”
“peace men," ‘‘peace resolutions,” hut the
question of the termination of the war has
v'esolved itself into this in the North: If Grant
is beaten, the North will be forced to admit
the hopelessness of taldug Richmond, and may
probacy in for stopping the war ; but if
Grant w hips, the whole North will be uuited
for the probation of the war and the crush
ing of the rebellion. It is a military and
political crisis Ik 'he North and a serious re

The Paris correspondent of the Lot tdon In
dex, under date of April 2fi, speaks thus of the
feeling existing in France towards tie North
on account of the position, taken by Lincoin
towards Mexico :
Public opinion in France begins to grow, I
will not say threatening, for France has a se
rene contempt for petty annoyances, but at
least cross, on the subject of the resolutions of
the Northern Congress against the Mexican
Empire. The blind self-sufficiency of the im
potent fraction of a Union which was powerful
in its day, will not do that which -diplomacy
has failed to do. The news of the 0 f
the Congress against the establishes ent ot the
Mexican umpire was received here w ilh a shout
of derision. The only effect of the i esolutioDs
has been to increase tho feeling of ill will to
wards the United States, which has in the last
two years made progress in some classes of
French society. The Moniteur of this morn
ing announces the Senate’s deaisior, as having
been taken “in conformity v/ith the dt*ire of
the Government.” The b armonious relations
of \\ ashington with the Tuileries have c ot be-m
interrupted by an incident which lit. Lincoln
has turned to good account by seizing the op
portunity thus offered, him to prove his friendly
feeling for France.
We copy the following interesting extracts
from the London correspondence of the New
York Times, under date of 30th April.
As soon as tho Danish question is ar -ttled, the
American question will come before E 'arliament
in a more serious shape than ever. On Thurs
day night there wa6a five hours’ del jate in the
House on the case of the Tuscaloosa, ■ with which
the British Government played fast and loose
in so queer a fashion at the Cape of (, rood Hope
-where, by the way, the Alabama has just
returned to relit, and been receive and with ac
clamations, after burning nne large United
States merchantmen. The new rat ove will be
one for peace, based on the mem iriais from
every part of the kingdom to both houses of
Parliment. These petitions are inst igated by a
“Society for Promoting the Cessati on of Hos
tilities in America,’’ which has for 1 ts President
Rear Admiral Anson. This sock ety which is
acting chiefly through the clergy of tho Epis
copal Church, urges, ‘-that the su bjugatioci or
extermination of six millions of people i3 an
alternative unparalleled in Chri stiun times,’
and “that it is the duiy of ey« r.y Christian
throughout the world to use his influence
against the further prosecution of such a war,”
&c. Pamphlets, tracts and cir juUrs are dis
tributed in editions of ton or twenty thousand
copies.
The danger from such movein ;nts is not that
Earl Russell will he frightened I Tom bis posi
tion of‘‘friendly neutrality,” but that the
Government itself may bo overi hrown; a,J d as
the opposition is becoming ev jry day more
committed to the Southern cant e, there is rea
son to apprehend that when it cc mes to power it
tv.ll feel obliged to take a cours a quite uifferent
from the one it now condemn. , I have reason
to know that the friends ol tho | South, in and
out of the Parliament, avo wait I j ing with impa
tience for the time to come v /hen they can
bring this question to an issue. The position
is favorable to the North as lon j gas the present
Government can maintain its place, for the
very attacks of the Opposition make the min
isters, law officers of the Crown , and to a cer
tain extent, the Government, p - ess partizans of
the North.. The danger is that they will
yield in deference to public Os .iniou, or he de
feated. Fortunately, Palmers' .on and Russell
are too fond of power to be eo ,sily driven out,
and Russell is stubborn enoui ;h to have his
own way as long as there is si reh a possibility.
In the “Tuscaloosa” case, in the House of
Lords Chelmsford accused Earl Russell of
truckling to the Federals, and said they
had no right to seize the vise el, and ought to
make an apology and compensation to the Con
federate Government; which as Eirl Russell
has driven Mr. Mason iroin I Ingland, and has
not even a consul in the dominions of Davis,
would not be an easy matter to manage. The
English Goyerninentwisbes h ij send commercial
agents to the South, as appointing consuls
would beeqnivolent to reco; ;uition, and neith
er ships nor guus are ready 1 'or that, but Mr.
Davis I understand, objects to any half-way
proceedings.
Last night Earl Derby ma de a speech of two
hours in the House of Lords on the case of the
rams, making the most, of < ourse, of the “so
styled” Mallory’s report, v vhich he said had
been furnished to the Govr eminent in an ex
tract from the New York ii Tally Times which
was well known to be the oi gan of Mr. Seward
—making a strong insiuuatic, n that Mr. Seward
had himself concocted the dr reument. or caused
it to be concocted, and read! ag an extract from
the Philadelphia Age tosupp ort, not his charge
but insinuasion. But. as he i ienounced the for
gery as a clumsy one, whir h had neither the
proper form nor the matter c f such documents,
he could hardly suppose it t a have been the
work ot Mr. Seward, though it appears to have
been sufficiently well done tc deceive both him
and Mr. Adams These coni inued attacks on
Lords and Commons on the A .merman question
are. I think, only the skirmis hings which pre
cede a general engagement In his defence,
last night, Earl Russell fell I rack upon the sla
very question, and said Ens riand should pre
serve a. careful neutrality bee; ruse four millions
of negroes might be made fre e in consequence.
Confederate stock, now, w bile Lieut. Gen.
Grant is marching on Rich mond, aud "the
boldest holds his breath for a time,” has gone
up to 62. Here is a chance for speculation.
The news of a week or two n lay send it up 20
per cent, higher, or knock it down to 25,
where it was a few months a go. If Gen. Lee
meets with a reverse, Lombard street will drop
it. As to the Confederates In ire, they are full
of confidence and sanguine e>f success. They
are prepared for some defeat sand disasters,
hut expect to hold their own, and believe that
the North will cave, or that F ranee will recog
nise in behalf ot Mexico, and they feel sure
that Euglaud will be eager enough to join in
such a recognition. I understand that the
great financial agent of the Ri ehmond "so-call
ed” Government is here, aws.iting the proper
moment to offer another loan.
I have not noticed in any American paper
the fact thrt the British Government is taking
the present opportunity to get a foothold and
right of transit iu Nicaragua. (;apt. Pym. of
the Royal Navy, author of l’be Gate ot the Pa
cific, arrived here ou Thursday, with the news
that be had secured a highly important con
cession trom the Nicaraguian Government for
a railway across tbe Isthmus, for whic i the
capital is ready, so that the Panama Company
jvill soon have a formidable opposition. There
is no mistake about this, and it is probable the
fi”st step toward establishing a position which
will be. in sdC e degree, a 6. t off to that of
France in MexfJ.tb England wants a good
transit route to British Columbia aud New
Zealand, and she wants alsO A cotton region in
Central America, near and better th n ludia.
Capt. Pym is confident that he has touUd these
in Nicaragua. He is a man of great energy,
and has the full confidence of the Govern
ment.
A Scarcity of Cotton Thrkatexw). —Mr. Mc-
Henry, author of the “'Cotton Trade,” is stated
by the London Index to have written a letter
to the Standard, in which he says that the total
‘ock of cotton in E nope and the Federal
q l ' , on Ist January, 16lit, amounted to but 2,-
n ootmot ‘“ales, of 40lt pounds weight each.
Os this stock thC Federal 400,000
bales, leaving but /.jOO.uOO u„ Ljro t
these 2,0(10,000 bales, six’ Cpvenths ate o. *ffLat
ity so inferior as to be useless Lff' all kinds oi
manufactures, unless with the admixture of a
large proportion ol the better sorts, which it
is impossible to obtain. £ueh is the supply.
As to the demand, it is sufficient to observe
that in 1600 the manufactures on both sides ot
the Atlantic apparently used up 0,090.t)b0-T-re
aliy but 4,500.000— that is only the latter quan
tity was taken by people using »nd wearing
cotton goods. Supposing the wants of the
world to be what taey were .cur years ago, and
deducting 300,000 ba.es that were sold every
ve ar in a manutactured condition to supp.v
'the Confederate states, the deficiency "id be
2.200.000 bales—that is, the consumersno im
pend upon Europe and Yaakeedom for their
o>tt o n coeds will fall that far short ot geLing
their supply. ,
iu tile meantime the distress of the manusae
luring districts, already sufficiently appalling,
is increasing at a portenteous rate. .In the
town of Trenton alone twenty-eight mills had
closed in January, and the number of persons
entirely without’work iu consequence was 11.-
299. The entire number of persons receiving
charitable assistance is 2G.00U, all because the
mills have stopped for the want of cotton. To
such a condition has the inhuman ‘'neutrality”
of Lord Palmerston reduced the country.
Os the 2,000,000 bales al.uded to. a little
more than half came from India—that is to say
1,050,000 bales.
Mr. Mehenry says there will not be a bale in
the warehouses at the end of the year.

country ; to demoralize its population, see its
best blood shed in civil strife, and its whole
future mortgaged in irretrievable debt. Relig

in his blind passion and hatred of his own

Sir G. Grey repeated that an armistice, or sus
pension of hostilities had been agreed upon,
but he could not state the terms.
The House has voted £3,464,662 for army
purposes.
The “ Daily News” says : “ Government of
ficials have been at Southampton, inspecting
some of the mail packets, to ascertain their
fitness for war transports.’’
Two Austrian men of war left Brest on Sat
urday for the North, to join the Austrian
squadron.
A great meeting has been hell for the pur
pose of passing resolutions respecting Garibal
di’s departure. Mr. Shann made an important
statement of the reasons which had induced
the General to give up his provincial engage
ments. Mr. Gladstone advised Garibaldi to
leave, as it was the wish of tlie Government.
The Confederate laon advanced to fifty-nine
and a half on the report of the possession of
the Mississippi river and the vote of censure
on Mr. Long being carried by a weak major
ity. Another reason assigned is the rapid ab
sorption ot the bonds by blockade-runners,
who expect thereby to obtain cotton at six
pence per pouud, the contract price, which
m ikes these bonds about equal to ninety-five
iu tbs English market. United States secur
ities were much depressed.
The case of the Mersey rams had been order
ed for trial by the Court of Exchequer before
a full court and special jury on May 27 th.
Consols had declined the fourth of one per
centum, and are quoted at ninety-one and a
half to five-eighths.
Cotton had advanced a half penny. Sales
for the week over ninety-six thousand bales.
There have been some warm scenes between
her Majesty and her Ministers, and between
the Queen and the Prince of Wales. At oge
time the dismissal of Lord Palmerston seemed
imminent. Twice recently has the Queen sent
for Lord Derby, but that statesman was too
cunning to defy the public sentiment, and
plainly told her Majesty that if he were at the
head of the Government his first step would
bo to declare to Prussia and Austria that En
gland would stand by the treaty of 1852, and,
if need be., declare war against them in its
maintenance. Earl Derby was, therefore, cold
ly dismissed.
The Prince of Wales is open and even noisy
in the expression of his opposiiion to the policy
of the Queen. He is reported lo have given
as a toast at a Guards dinner, the other day,
“Success to Denmark, and—to Earl Russell.”
It is to be presumed that the latter bad refer
ence to the policy of which Earl Russell has
been the compulsory exponent.
In the meantime the Queen has gone to Bal
moral in a fit of the sulks, but evidently satis
fied that she has gained her end in the misera
ble armistice to which the Conference has a
greed. Lord Palmerston’s gout will now leave
him. He is said to have been in a perfect fury
for the last fortnight, and his illness tp have
been more the result of passion than physical
ailment. His dignified course would be to
resign, but he is too anxious to retain the seals
of office to the last moment.

H:\BEASGORFIISf\CO.\GRESS.
On the 20th ult. which was the data of the
President’s message in reference to the con
tinuance of the suspension of the habeas corpus*
Mr. Foote’s bill providing for a repeal of the
Act declaring the writ suspended, was under
consideration. A member moved to lay it on
the table, which was considered a test vote.—
The motion was carried, by a considerable
majority. We regret that we have mislaid the
paper containing the ayes and noes on the mo
tion to lay on the table, as we wished our read
ers to know how the so called Representatives.
(?) of the People voted. There were but two
me nbers from Georgia, however, who voted
in accordance with the views of the People of
of this State—Messrs Bull and Lester. We
place their names in capitals, because we re
gard them as “faithful among the faithless”
For many years paid, under the old Govern
ment, we were pained to ae,e a growing dispo
sition on the part of those acting in a reprp
sentative capacity to ignore, set at defiance and
even treat with contempt the well known and
openly expressed wishes of their constituents.
We regret to say that under the new Govern
ment this evil is rapidly growing. It has now
assumed giant proportions. The great mass
of representative officers, from President down
to Town Warden, not only ignore, but treat
with contempt the public opinion of the coun
try.
In this manner our Government has been
quietly subverted. Whatever else it may be,
it is certainly no longer a Representative, Gov
ernment. Instead of the President and lower
House of Congress reflecting tbe popular will,
they sot it at defiance. We had hoped that
examp’e Georgia had made of her faithless rep
resentatives in the last Congress would nave
had a salutary effect. With a solitary excep-.
lion, they were indignantly thrown overdoard
iu the face of this, however, her present weak
and impotent delegation have, with two hon
orable exceptions, treated the expressed wish
es ot the People with cool contempt! The Peo
ple have in their bauds the proper remedy
let them turn tbem out and and put in
worthier men, who will retlect their views.
Although we knew the Georgia delegation
to be composed of “very weak brethren”-men
incapable of comprehending “the situation,'’
aud as innocent of any just claims to statesman
ship as they are of tho charge of murder, we
must confess we are surprised at their vote on
the continued suspension. They haye no doubt
been misled by letters from certain old fogies
wnohavc advised them to vote as they did.

Feaxo* ajto tkx UximoStath.- -In the Yaa*
Itee House of Representatives on the 23d inst.,
Mr. Henry Winter Davis subml tted the fol
lowing :
Whereas, the following announcement ap
peared in the Moniteur, the Fra ach official or
gan, namely :
"The Emperor’s government has received
from that of the United States satisfactory ev
idence of the sense and bearing of the resolu
tion of the House of Representatives at Wash
ington relative to Mexico, and it is known
besides that the Senate has indefinitely post
poned an examination of the question, which,
in any case, the Executive would not have
sanctioned.”
Therefore, resolved. That the President com
municate to this House, if not inconsistent
with the public interests, any explanation giv
en by the government of the L'nited States to
France relative to the bearing and sense of the
resolution relative to Mexico, which unani
mously passed the House ou the 4th of April,
1864.
The resolution was passed almost unanimous
ly under a suspension of the rule.
' The Washington correspondent of the Her
ald, referring'to this matter 6ays :
A good deal of indignation is felt at the hu
miliating position in which such an explana
tion, if actually made, places the government;
and such a high-handed assumption, in the
face of unanimous action on the part of the
immediate representatives of the people, can
but degrade its authors in the eyes of the coun
try and the world. The friends of the admin
istration regard the statement of the Moniteur
as unwarranted by the facts, and the more
willingly concurred in the resolution, as afford
ing an opportunity to set the administration
right belore the world in this matter. With
the suppression of the rebellion the United
States will assume even more than its former,
position and influence in the affairs and des
tinies of the people and governments of the
American continent, and the enforcement of
the Monroe doctrine will be demanded with a
unanimity which will sweep from power any
party opposing it, as well as the bogus gov
ernments which, taking advantage of our do
mestic difficulties, foreign nations are attempt
ing to establish, in contravention of the will of
the nations more immediately concerned.
The Slaughter of the Wilderness. —From
the correspondent of the London Herald, un
der date of the 18th, published by permission
in advance, in the Richmond Enquirer, we
extract the so Rowing English version
of the terrible slaughter of Federals upon the
field of the Wilderness :
Victory smiled during the night of the 6th
of May on the warriors that lay sleeping, from
right to left, behind Lee’s works. The losses
of the Confederates in killed, and wounded and
missing do not exceed, for the two day, six
thousand. The results to the enemy in some parts
of the fiield cannot be described by any word
less forciblejthan massacre. Eleven hundred
and twenty-five Federal dead were buried in
front of that part of Ewell’s line lying to the
lett of the turnpike. Five hundred more were
buried on the right of that road, in addition to
about a hundred dead officers whose bodies
must have bienlrejßovfid, the number of corpses
lying on the field within range ot the enemy’s
sharpshooters, is estimated at fully three hun
dred. The Fedeal killed in the struggles ou
the right may, therefore, be (jecjqred positive
ly, to Lumbal as ruauy as two thousand. I
have no data on which to estimate the breadth
of the slaughter in the fierce conflicts of the
right; but from the stu bborness andvolumeof
tnese, feel quite confident that they must have
added to the slain as awful an account as that
rendered in frontjof Eweli. With three thousand
prisoner* and four thcimam! (lead, tho usual
proportion of six or seven to one for the
wounded would show that the losses of Grant,
in the battle of the Wilderness, cannot have
been less than thirty thousand.
Loss op Steamer Georoiania. McCall.—
Oa Thursday morning. May 2, about half past
three o'clock, the Steamship Georgiana McCall
on her first trip from Nassau to this port got
ashore below Fort Caswell, while attempting to
.c-cgjg by the western channel. The Yankees
hoarded he;, talcingsoiue thluy prisoners, in
cluding all the officers. Some thirteen of the
crew had escaped in a boat, which was stove
os reaching shore and was therefore unable to
returu apfi firing others off,
Before the Yankees left they fired the steam
er. It would seem that when they first hoarded
her, Mr. Thos. K. Dyer, the pilot, and the cook
whose mime we do not know, concealed them
selves aud thus escaped capture.
Alter the Yankees had tired the steamer and
left her, two men were observed ou hoard.—
They were hailed by some on shore, and told
to put out the fire, which they did.
A boat having been procured from Fort Cas
well, the steamer was boarded by a party,
probably of the Coast Guards, commanded by
Captain Galloway. Mr. Dyer, the pilot, was
found lying insensible, with three gashes in his
head. He died in twenty minutes after being
found. The cook’s statement, as we learn, is
that the Yankees beat them both and robbed
them. Whaj; appears strange Jn this these two
men, Mr. Dyer and the cook, ware observed on
the boat after the Yankees had left, and it is
known that they put out the fire. Why should
the Yankees have left either of them, had their
hiding place beep discovered ? Qr if the Yan
kees had inflicted the fatal wounds which caus
ed Mr. Dyer’s death, how could he, after their
infliction, have gone about the steamer and as
sisted in putting out the fire, as he was observ
ed to do ?
Mr. Dyer is known to have had a gold watch
and some money on his person. Both money
and watch were gone, and his pockets were
turned inside out. The cook has been arrested
hut we do not know whether anything further
has been discovered.
Mr. Dyer had been a pilot here for a num
ber of years, and made several trips since the
commencement of the blockade.
Wilmington Journal.
Loss of the Steamer Rose. —The steamer
Rose, of London, Captain W. M. Hale, with a
cargo of coal, lor the Confederate Government,
left Nassau Saturday, May 28, for a Confederate
port. On Thursday last, 2d instant, she was
chased by a Yankee cruiser and run ashore on
the beach off Butler’s Island, near Georgetown,
and near the wreck of tho Virginia Dare, Thurs
day afternoon.
Tfia crew, after destroying everything likely
to fall into the enemy’s nands, abandoned the
steamer! the Yankees keeping up a hot fire
upon them while making their escape. They
succeeded in reaching the shore unhurt, but
in, an almost destitute condition, having lost
nearly all ther personal effeots, clothing, bag
gage. eto.
The Yankees boarded the steamer and made
aD unsuccessful efiort to get her off. Foiied in
this, they set fire to burn her. It is beiieved
the cargo can be saved, the vessel having been
run very high upon the beach.
Captain Male, who is well known In this city, I
having been formerly engaged in mercantile
business here, sustains a heavy loss. He saved
his chronometers.
The Rose was an old steamer, and was for
erly used as a tug boat in Londju aad latter
run between anl Hiv inv
Ail the crew, including the Captain, with the
exception of Mr. Dunbar, one of the Engineers,
and three others, left Kingstg.ee last Saturday,

seaman reached this city Monday morning by
the Northeast Railroad from Ringstree.—
Charleston Courier.
The Wounded or the Two Armies.—Nothing
has struck us as more remarkable in the recent
battles than the opposite degrees of emotion
with which the Yankees and Confederate wound
ed bear up under the most painful wouuds.
Hospital No 21, Cary street, is the recepticle of
the Y'ankee wounded that fell into our hands,
and at all hours cries and groans of distress can
be heard issuing from its sombre wards. Enter
it and the whine and groan and fearful contor
tion oi countenances to be met with on every
hand is fearful to beheld. Frequently tbe pa
tients have importuned the surgeons to shoot
them, and put them out ol' thpsr misery of mind
and body.
In a hospital of Confederate wounded the
sights and coundsare vastly difireirnt, and if not
pleasant, are rar from revolting. Pleasant faces
are to be met with, groans and sighs are repress
ed. and the wounded joke and laugh about their
wounds as though something to be proud of.
Whence this difference of endurance ? Is it
not the consciousness on the one hand that the"
are engaged in a just and holv cause, ami on the
other that thpj arp_ engaged m a wicked and
unjust crusade, and that thefr wounds are a
just retribution for their folly and crime -
Richmond Examiner,
Singular Incident. —The Richmond Senti
nel relates a singular incident of the battle
field at Drewrys Bluff. A surgeon, who was
searching the field for the woundeu that he
mignt minister re tneir needs, observed a man
in a kneeling position, with a gun to his shoul
der, pointing to the front, his left eye closed,
and having all the appearance of life. Upon
examination he was found to be dead, a ball
having passed through his brain, at the mo
ment, when, resting on bis left knee, he had
taken sight at the foe. It is very remark
able 1 that so riged was the corpse, some force
was required to remove the gun from his grasp.
He proved to be a member of the 29th Virgin
ia regiment of infantry.

Monetary circles were considerably escited
for a time yesterday over a bougus proclama

President, and gold advanced, under the btlief
that it was genuine, to 1841 ; but it was soon
ascertained that it had been published for the
purpose of influencing the market, and the pre
mium declined to 821 Stocks were bouyaut
iu the morning, and continued strong through
out the day. Government securities were less
Arm, and a fraction lower. There was no
change in the money market.
Owing to the large rise in gold there was con
siderable excitement in commercial circles yes
terday,'and ail kinds of merchandise were un
settled and mo-tl y nominal. But higher prices
were demaeded for everything, and the sales
were at advanced rates.
