Extortion by speculators, in articles of prime necessity, is of course aiding and abetting th-Yankees every day, and the people have weli nigh reached that point when they will lay hands upon the wretehes who are bringing woe and want into their families. The soldier in the army kn,ws tiiat his wife and little ones are made to suffer by the soulless extortioner, and how long will he withhold hia bauds from laying on the blow that shall give bread and meat and clothing to saff--ring women and children.

Tho legislature will have another important sub ject brought before it—that is, taring the Cotlon crop. It is true a large amount of corn has been mile—every farmer’s barn groans with the abun dant harvest; but many farmers do not iuteud to sell any corn, expecting to plant largely of cotton next year, and save their corn for two years.

The document was weli constructed, wel written, well sealed, and well published—but tb Yankees treated it with abso lute contempt, ’hereupon William tho Testy flew into a greatrage, aud fulminated another, twice as long am twice as big, ‘forbidding all intercourse with te Yaukee invaders ; ordering the Dutch burgher ou the frontiers to buy nonu of their pacing horss, measly pork, apple sweet- meets, Weathersfild onions, or wooden bowls, and to furnish theiawithno supplies of gin. gin gerbread or sourkrou.” But the second procla mation was as little egarded as the first by the cunning Yankees.

Oct. 9.—The Baltimore Araeri can, of Monday afternoon, has been received here It says that it. is reported timt Buell has been re lieved from his command, and assigned to Indian apolis to organize the paroled prisoners into Reg iments. Stocks were rampant in New York on Monday last, and prices went up to 3 per cent, at first call,294 per cent premium. Gen Seigel had advanced to Warrenton, 5 a . and waspreparing to cut off ail communication between the Rebelarmy in the Shenandoah Valley and Richmond. The Baltimore American says that there are. also, intimations of renewed activity on the James River, indicating that the present suspen sion of operations is only preparatory to a syste matic movement that will produce important results. The steamer Anglo Saxon had arrived at New York from Liverpool. The defeat of Pope at Manassas was universally regarded in England and France as fatal to the Union. A powerful ram was being openly built iu the Mersey, to be used in opening the blockade of Charleston. The address of the Lincoln Governors is not to be made public. Reports from Galveston, Texas, says that the yellow fever is raging fearfully there. [ SECOND DISPATCH ] Richmond, Oct 2.—The Richmond Enqirer j iias received N< w York dates to Sept. 30th. They j state that Bull Nelson was shot in the Galt ' House, in Louisville, Ky.’ on Monday last, by \ Gen. Jefferson C. Davis. He expired in a few j named officers, namely: Generals Heath, Leadbeter, Rains, Reynolds, Churchill, Claborine aud Maxey.— What adds much to the probability of this report is the fact that the large number of rebel troops who had been gathered in front of Cincinnati have now left that section, and at last ac counts were moving in this direction. The enemy are gathering a large num ber of troops in the State of Kentucky, many of whom have heretofore been acting as Union home guards. In some instances whole companies have turned themselves and the United States arms which had been entrusted to them, over to the rebels.
