The Daily News arid Herald. AN EVIL THAT SHOULD BE CHECKED. One of the moat remarkable and dis- cdui aging signs of the times is the excessive micbaritableness, not to say vindictiveness, still manifested by a large class of Northern editors and their Soathern correspondents toward the people ot the Sonth. We allude, ot course, to the numerous scriblers for Xoithern journals, many of whom are en gaged in business avocations in the South, 'KTCiarui ATIM Id THE CITY AMD COUNTY amJ wUo seemingly take a savage delight in jE ' ’ • — i misrepresenting and traducing what they are pleased to denominate the “poor trash of BY S.

The Congress, disregarding the remon strances of the leading commercial men in both sections of the Union, lias imposed a tax ol two cents per pound upon all cotton hereafter exported trom the United States.

But did they stop to think that the hired negro laborer will feel the ef fects of this tax as sensibly as his white em ployer ? By as much as the employers pro had reduced poor while men to an interior position, (which we deny,) and deprived them of the incentives to honorable ambi tion, it would be their misfortune, not their i iult. There have, however, been many ex amples among them, not unknown to fame, "f genius struggling against all the disad vantages of posiiion, and rising to eminence in many departments of enterprise. Nor, are they as a class, more numerous than in many parts of the North and West; or as ignorant of political affairs, as those sta tistical tables which are referred to with so much exultation by prejudiced correspon ds arc reduced by such a tax, by just that dents, as showing large numbers at theSouth much is the return of the employe's labor,' who cannot read and write, would seem to bo he white or black, reduced.

This is good news for your western men, and it is true news.” This is one side of the picture. The other side is thus presented by the New York Com mercial Advertiser. It says: “The advan tage “of our intercourse with Europe has been that we have been able to im port from Ibenco certain articles more chenply than we could produce them ourselves, paying for them with products of our own which we can produce more cheaply than Europeans.” Tnetn Co- mercial thinks that of the 1,250,000 men now in arms, a half million have been taken from productive employments, and that as the war progresses, the commercial centres of Germany, and the high-roads of trade will be closed, and tiiat there must be a stoppage of the production of themerchandize which is usually transported there. The Commercial say9: •As the goods that Europe may send here during the war, should the closing of trans portation routes not prevent, it is possible jliat wc may have heavy consignments of merchandise hither, to realize what it will bring; but tbat will be only the first brief spasm, lo he followed by a long period of scarcity and high prices for all' that Europe produces, as in the case of onr own country during the rebellion. All we mignt subse- telegrame claim that the Austrians have captured eighteen guns and many prisoners. In the fight of Traulevian the Austrians are said to have lost four to six thousand killed and wounded, and the Prussians one thousand. * There was great rejoicing at Berlin over the alleged Prussian victory, and the people presented an address to the King. Vienna despatches, on the * other hand, assert tbat Benedek prevented this junction of the army of Prince Frederick Charles with the army of 8ilesia, and was successful in the engagements of the 27th and 28th, killing and wounding a great number of tho enemy. The Loudon Times says it is difficult to decide the result, but the action was not decisive. There are indefinite reports from the Italian army, which has changed its plan of operations. Lord Derby has betsi forced to form a Cabinet ex clusively tory. There is threatened trouble among the London pop ulace about the reform question. SECOND DISPATCH.

Counsel's motion having been granted, Marshal Epping read the following endorse ment upon the writ of attachment served on General Sickles: I hereby return to this writ of attachment, lhat I called with the attachment on Gen.

S. Infantry, r Savannah, Ga., July lltli, 18G6. I Mb. Editor—Sir: I notice in your issue of this morning a paragraph in relation to the arrest of Mr. Justico Staley, accusing me of using undue force aud exceeding niy duty in making the arrest. The facts simply are that I was ordered by the Commandant of the Post to take a Ser geant and a file of guards to Justice Staley's office, and present a note requesting his ap pearance at headquarters, and if he did not come promptly, to bring him without cere mony. I did as directed, and waited lully twenty minutes for him, when, seeing that he was determined to delay longer, I ordered my guard to fall in, and told him that he must comq. The Sergeant of the guard (through mistake) ordered his men to load, which order I immediately countermanded, and directed the Sergeant to remain with his guard at a respectable distance in rear, while I walked along with Justice Staley my self. It may have been painful to the Justice’s feelings to be compelled to appear on the street with a “United States soldier.” I deeply sympathize with him, but the next time I am afraid I shall have to be less deli cate, as courtesy seems to be thrown away upon him. Of course, my first duty as a soldier is to obey orders, which I always try to do to the letter without being offensive. The com manding officer, upon my reporting to him (through the Adjutant), was perfectly satis fied with my action, and as for him inform ing the Justice that I was not ordered to arrest him, I can only say thot l Micve your informant wilfully misrepresented the case to you.

Washington, July 12.—It is rumored that Mr. 8pe«d, Attorney-General, has tendered his resignation, and Harlan will do the same. It is alleged that there is a fraudulent issue of stock of the Washington und Alexandria Railroad, to the amount of three hundred thousand dollars, used in connection with the defunct Merchants’ Na tional Bank, and one New York firm advanced one hundred thousand dollars on said stock. General Grant has issued an order directing all de partment, district and podt commanders in the States lately in rebellion, to arrest all persons who have been or may hereafter be charged with the commission of crimes and offences against officers, agents, citizens and inhabitants of the United States, irrespective of color, in cases where the civil authorities have failed, or neglected, or are unable to arrest and bring such parties to trial, and to detain them in military con finement until such time as a proper judicial tribunal may be ready and willing to try them.
