It is a humiliating fact that our city is at this time thickly infested with prostitutes.— Scarcely a week passes in which one or more cases, or difficulties between them and there paramours are not brought up to the Squires' i Office in this'bulling, for adjudication. The city ordinances are very plain and se- I vere in regard to public houses of ill-fame, and the consequence is, these unfortunate creatures are scattered throughout the whole city.— Wherever there is a room to rent, it is soon till ed with them. Such a state of things is truly deplorable, for it exhibits a terrible depravity in the mor als of our people. No one is allowed to es cape the slanderous tongues of these creatures no matter how innocent and upright he may he. Would it not be much better for the city authorities to assign a distinct portion of the city to that class of our population Public safety and public morality will soon demand such a course. Some mathematician, who believes in going into small particulars, states that the cost ot the Chicago Platform civil war now going on is over $60,000 per hour ; sl,o.at per minute ; sl7 per second. These are nice little sums for tax payers to dwell upon. A correspondent for the Cincinnati Gazette declares he heard Lincoln say that the day af ter thegreat battle, that he “ had no stomach for his meat. C>n the other hand, the poor people since Lincoln s election, have hard work to get meat for their stomachs. Is it true that the driver of one of the crow ded ambulances, flying from the battle-field last Sunday, actually kicked off a wounded soldier from the wagon to make room for a terrified pertly Boston man, a spectator, with whom he (the driver) happened to be acquain ted ‘ Talk about rebel barbarism after that.— - /■ ■ LINCOE-Xs BOUNTIES FOB KE ENLISTING. —The Lincoln Government finds it hard to rise men and is driven to the expedient of offering •• bounties The three months troops, on re enlisting, re ceive the following bounties : Re-enlisting as individuals, thirty dollats. By companies, fifty dollars. By Regiments, seventy-five dollars Peace SEWsfAPaEs at ihe north.—The New I ork News publishes the names of some seventy newspapers in the Northern States which oppose the war policy of the adminis tration. Os these, twenty-one are published in the Slate of New York : four in New Jer sey : eight in Pensylvania : four in Connecti cut! : four in lowa : three in New Hampshire ; two in Maine four in Illinois ; two in Indi ana ; and one each in Ohio, Minnesota, Rhode Island, I ermont, and California. These in clude only the papers received at the News of fice as exchanges in one dav Our prisoners at Washington.—— The Wash ington Star says : An awning has been erected at the entrance of the building for the protection of the guards. There are now- sixty-five military prisoners and five “ contrabands” confined. A few of the prisoners are slightly sick, and receiving medical attendance, and one has beenretaoved to the hospital on Southeast with a dangerous attack of typhoid fever. This number agrees with die. list given by us in another column. Confederate flags at the north.—At North Guilford, Connecticut l ., on Sunday last, the Confederate flag was raised on the staff there, in exultation over the Bull Bun disaster. At Wethersfield, in the same State, somebody undertook, after twelve o’clock on Saturday night, to raise a secession flag on the liberty pole, but raised it only to half mast. Before & o’clock on Sunday morning it was discover ed and taken down. It was seventeen feet long and nine feet wide. The Vigilance Committee of Columbus, Ga., have published a notice that, in future, “any resident of Columbus or it- vicinity who shall go to any of the Northern Sta-es, unless with the previous knowledge and assent of the Com mittee, shall not be permitted«to return to our community under pain of such disabilities or punishment as the committee may decree.” We ait too Generous. A North Carolina paper makes the follow ing very just and well-timed remarks ; ‘•We believe in the utmost measures of hu manity compatible with our safety and our condition ; but an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, is the only principle which should actuate us when contending with an enemy who have invaded our soil, destroyed our pro perty, our aged innocence and citizens. While, then, fifteen of the cljval rous citizens of South Carolina, the crew of the Savannah, who were taken prisoners by the Yankees while pursuing a legitimate busi ness under a commission from President Davis are bound down with irons and confined in loathsome dungeons in New York, it is not right that the officers and Congressmen taken at Manassas, should receive any better treA ment. Let the Jlon. Mr, Ely be ironed and* sent to Fort Sumter, and there kept in a dun geon till ihe captain of the Savannah i- re leased. We have no di.-poaition to find fault with our rulers, but we think that too much con sideration is shown some, probably all, of our prisoners. While, we learn, some of their of ficers taken by us are actually on parole and boarding at hotels, our prisoners are jeered and kicked unci their lives even menaced in the streets of the Federal city-. Away, we ay, then, with such sickly humanitarianism as has been exhibited at Richmond.” Condition of lite Federel Forces. All dispatches sent from Washington report large numbers of troops constantly pouring in, and describe the eager manner in which volunteers are flying to arms. This is all “Bound and fury—signifying nothing.” With all these extravagant rumors—this putting on of Dutch courage, this wholesale deception of the people, this Falstaffian boasting of fu ture deeds—they cannot conceal their “weep ing, wailing and gnashing of teeth.” We state, upon good authority, that four Regi ments of Federal troops passed through Balti more to Washington between Monday and Thursday ot last week; while, during the same time, seven Regiments passed though Baltimore on their return to their respective homes, their time having expired. Up to our latest Northern dates, the 3 1 instant, twenty seven Regiments had gone home. Tho terms ot eight Regiments expire in a few days, and orders have been issued to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for conveyances for 18,000 men, their time having expired. A strong appeal had been made to them to re-enlis^ but they have refused, saying that they h’tffl not been paid for services already rendered. I Ley have got enough of playing the “bold soldier boy.” I.lnclon's Figures. The New York Day Rook remarks : The Crimean war, everybody knows, was j conducted by all parties upon an extensive scale, and it cost only SS-1,000,000. The late i Italian war cost but $17,000,000, and the late | war in India cost .$28,000,000. The ten years | war, known in history a* the French Revolt!- j tion, cost only But the liepub- ' licans begin their war with an appropriation ! amounting to more than the cost of all these | long and terrible wars combined The truth ' is, the Republicans mean to make a good thing out of their war. They have already expend over a hundred millions of dollar-, while the South has expended less than ten millions, and have beat at that in the first great battle. The people will get it worked into their minds be fore long that their money and their lives are squandered by a reckless and incompetent Ad | ministration. A Varied Life. The New York correspondent of the London Star says that Mr. William Henry Hulbert, who is now a prisoner among the rebels, “is well known in England as a friend of the Rev. | Charles Kingsley, and a contributor to some of the English magazines and reviews. Born in South Carolina, educated in New York, Ger many and France, and an extensive traveler through, as well as resident in, halt' a dozen other countries, Mr. Hulbert had become a tho rough cosmopolitan. He was a polished and versatile writer, and early turned hisattention to the press. Six or seven years ago he was editor of Putnam's Magazine. He has been the theatrical critic of the Albion, (English paper of New York,) for a long time, contrib uting to its columns some of the most delight ful fuellitions I ever read. He was the author of the anti-slavery articles that appeared in the Edinburgh, 1 think, some lime in 1854. He eventually settled down as assistant editor : of the New York Times, which he left last sum mer in consequence of suddenly breaking out into the worst kind of Secessionism. He has , boxed the compass of everything : has been a Unitarian minister, a muscular Christian, . a Free Thinker, a native of a slave State, a , violent Abolitionist, a Secessionist, and is at last a captive in durance vile on a charge of being a Northern spy.' Typhoid Fever. I A correspondent of the • Southern Confed l erey, gives to the public, information in re > gard tit Typhoid Fever, which mat be of great service .- Messrs Editors Every day we hear sad i tididgs of death among our gallant boys in the army, from that scourge, Typhoid Eerer.— A gentleman of the medical profession, now in this city, a citizen of Texas, expresses his surprise that the potent remedy of Spirits of Turpentine has made so little progress in the country for the cure of this ailment. My friend Dr. R., a man of splendid professional ability, says that if any remedy can ever be called a specific, Spiirits of Turpentine may br so considered in cases of Typhoid Fe ver. He begins with small doses id' about ten drops every two hours, and coctiuues the reme dy in larger doses, giving as high as a tea spoonful at a dose, till the right action is seen on the skin. Spirits of Nitre may be needed I to relieve the strangury apt to follow the ad ministration of turpentine, but nothing further is ever needed. Please publish this and send a number of j our paper to our friend Dr. Alexander, hop- I that good may come of it. 11. feaf* That veracious class of writers who deal tu what are called “fish stories,” say that if two ravenous pise of unequal size are placed in a small pond, they first devour all the unfortunate perch, mullets, sunfish, min nows, crawfish, tadpoles and frogs within their reach; and.then if one of the pikes is suffi j ciently large for the purpose, the bigger then f swallows the smaller, and becomes a hungry monarch of all he surveys. When thus left i alone, with nothing but a constantly sharpen i itig appetite, the surviving pike has been sometimes known to devour his own tail in default of something better to eat. In all the wars which have heretofore mark ed the progress of the late Republic of the United States, the keen and hungry Yankees have fed and waxed fat at the expense of the South. Wc have usually furnished the fight ing men, whilst Northern contractors, quarter masters, commissaries, purveyors and pay masters, have profited by their characteristic shrewdness and utter want of honesty. They have usually absorbed and monopolized all the substantial rewards of war, and also filched all the glory wTiicl: could be won without great personal danger. In the present war the Xankees have no “Southern fellow-soldiers” to cheat and swindle. What in former times was an unsuspecting, good-natured victim of cheating Yankee contractors, quartermasters and commissaries, is now a formidable and terrible foe, who can no longer be peaceably robbed. What of military provisions and sup plies we now get from the North, we take at the poiut of tho bayonet from fleet footed 1 ankee teamsters and Commissaries, like those who made such good time on the Bull Hun course. They are no longer furniraed to us by Northern contractors, and our “little trans actions” with the North, of late, in the muni tions and provisions of war have not been prolitablr to that section. The cheering and refreshing features of the war is the and eagerness, with which the t ankee contractors, commissaries and quartermasters, are devouring, cheating and swindling Yankee soldiery. They arc devoting all energies to the noble and patrii •ft ask oi pillagir^at heir own men, and the groans, remon trnndff, complaints, I and yells of the brigades and regiments of Ihe “Grand Army,’ which are being skinmwl, arc loud, long, and excruciatingly funny. Every commissary, and contractor the Northern army regards his*'fegjmenrt.'as-hi?'' own, peculiar, private and especial basket |Ol eels, *a .of gift of Providence, • for his especial skinning and profit. About I the result of the war, the rascals do not care a [feusit, as they are c rtain of making fur tunes, it matters not who win- From the ad niisiiun of the Nuti hern press, we imagine that the wholesale jobbing and swindling now going on in the Yankee army, exceeds anything in a line of operation which we have heretofore regarded as peculiar to the Russian and Chi nese military service. The Northern soldiery arc cheated in their piy, their food, Ihi-ir clothing and in their munitions They are victimized in what they eat, drink and wear, by their rapacious contractors and coinrriissfl ries. All of Hie unscrupulous demagogues who arc responsible for this civil war, are strug gling for the spoils like a jack of “cayotes,” or prairie wolves, over the carcass of a dead buffalo. The brothers, fathers and cousins of the principal pillagers are all making hay while the sun shines. Cameron, the Secreta ry of War, is the leader, the North' in paper say, of the “parly thieves.” Cameron's sons, sons-in-law and kith and kin to the remot est collateral, are hard at work, swindling ami filching. Even “Bob,” the promising hope of the Illi nois Chimpanzee dynasty, has been taken from college, in order that he may do his full part in the general piliage of the Treasury. It is j said by the Northern press that this youthful I baboon is picking out sugar plums al. the rate of $30,000 per annum, and skinning the Yan ■ kee soldiery with a dexterous rascality beyond j hiit trader years. are justly proud of his performance-. So was Fagin oftho | “Artful Dodger.” It is truly refreshing, now that we have cut.

Wall street is painfully exercised to day by ■ that ill-natured money article in the London | •• Times,'' warning Brother Jonathan not to ; enter Lombard street with his now loans for ! war purposes—inasmuch as Lombard street : looks upon the Northern Jonathan, as well as : his Southern (Scco-li) brother, as an incorrig | ible repudiator. The talk is, that the writer of the money’ article for the Thunderer is an individual whose sympathies and interests are all with Jefferson Davis, and against the North. How all that maybe, I cannot say; but 1 do say that the cold water Jupiter of Printing-House Square has thus thrown upon American cred it, is having the effect to inspire everybody witii fresh anxiety to hear from Mr Augusto Belmonte, who, by this time, must be among the English money kings, face to face. Ratal Casualty* On yesterday morning, a man was found I crushed and dead in the yard of the Bank of \ irginia. He had apparently fallen from a window in the American Hotel. Ou applica tion at the office of this establishment, where we expected to learn something of the unfor tunate man’s history, it was apparent that the clerk and proprietor, inasmuch as the man’s name was not on their register, were disposed to regard his falling out of their window as a trespass. They seemed to be in a very bad humor with the deceased. All we could learn from them was that his name was probably Muchum, and that he was from Buckingham or Powhatan county. From a negro who waits on the seventli story, from which Mr. Muchum fell, we learn-d that the deceased came in with a friend last night about one o’clock, aud that., it being very hot, he is supposed, instead of going to bed, to have taken a seat in the win dow and fallen asleep. About three o’clock, he is thought to have fallen out. At noon yes terday, the mangled body still lay in the back yard of the Bank. Eilect of the Battle in Maryland. In the city of Baltimore, the demonstration in favor of the Southern cause, turned the cheek of Lincoln’s minions pale. Several Fed eral officers frankly acknowledged to citizens that they had been deceived: that hundreds of men whom they had taken to be good Union ists, were exultant at the news from Virginia. Indeed they said it was hard to fi d alive Lin colnite outside of their invading forces. Nor were they without good reason to apprehend a revolt in their army ; for it was stated and be lieved that a number of troops stationed at the Relay House, on hearing the intelligence from Manassas, openly cheered Jeff'. Davis and the Southern Confederacy. In most of the rural districts the feeling was cordial and en thusiastic among the people for the Southern cause. Hundreds of fugitives from the Feder al army had called upon them and begged for food and clothing on their way home without leave of absence. All accounts represent the army under Mc- Dowell as entirely demoralized. The return ing soldier- do not hesitate to speak, to friend or foe, of the utter hopelessness of the subju gation cause. The troops who are passing for home, on their discharge, are like boys just let out of school for holiday, whilethose on lb .ir way to the Federal Capital wear verv gloomy faces Northern Arithmetic. The terrific blow inflicted at Manassas, con founded the Northern press for a day or two, but they soon foil into their usual habit of falsification. The New York //•■ro/i/is still en gaged in arithmetical labours to reduce the losses at Manassas. Its Washington corres pondent writes that the Federal loss in killejfl at.

The work of the last three monUtJ in organizing the grand army of the has failed, and we must do it l i I■> ! r ■■■ ;'i- Wli nt they think of our T’acThqHMßv The New York Herald pays us the very unexpected compliment: “The Confederate States managershave ex hibited good judgment in the selection of their commanders. They have some of Qie best of ficers that have General Scott, aud have discarded the idea of political fa voritism that governs the actions of our Ad ministration, and man in the right place. The oixtheir forces during the late contest, were managed with great skill, showing that, if we intend to con quer them, the very best military talent at our command must be employed. They had no Patterson to play the part of Grouchy in their programme; but every man, knowing his duty, had the skill to execute it. Our authori ties, ever since the uprising of the people, have been devoting their time to device plans to foistjffon our gallant volunteers all the in their power, as if they intended to slaughter them.” How Col. Tyler was Arrested. The Cincinnati “Commercial” furnishes the folloWj l^*l ' coiint of the arrest of Col. Tyler in that, city : While promenading on Fourth slrei Wf-ter- I day afternoon, Cui. J. V. Guthrie, of the First. Kentucky, saw a gentleman whpm he thought, lie recognized as Col. Tyler, late of the United States atwiy, an Adjutant General in ,th,e rebel army. So strongly was he impress ed with this idea that he turned and followed. Presently he met Captain Dickerson, and, upon consultation, they were satisfied that Colonel Guthrie was right in his surmise. Thereupon Colonel Guthrie approached Colonel Tyler ami i.laiiiiitd him ns. a prisoner ot war. Tyler npp ared somewhat amazed, but confessed his name and rank in Beauregard’s army, and said that “ traveling as a citizen, and without arms, lie did not anticipate an arrest.” Colonel Guthrie delivered his prisoner to Capt. McLean, Assistant Adjutant General of this department, who conveyed him to New port P.arrncks, and telegraphed to Gen Scott or further instructions. Colonel Tyler asked to be placed on parole, but Captain McLean refused to grant there qui'-t until he hear ! from hcailqmirteis. Captain Tyler came Io this city yesterday morning, for the ostensible purpose of visit ing his wife, who has boarding in the city all the summer. Mrs. Tyler is said to be the daughir of Mr. J. J. B. Wright, of this city. It is also reported that she telegraphed to her husband, both at Louisville and Nash ville, not Io come on, as it was dangerous ; but it. seems that, neither of these dispatches reached their destination. Captain Tyler graduated at West Point, in the class of 1847, and served in the cavalry service until the breaking out. of the rebellion when he resigned. He was in Beau regard’s stair and served at Manassas as Adjutant-Geni-ral. At the Burnet House ho registered C. Tyler, Virginia.” This i f of the most fcrious pci form anees that has happened since t lie rebellion be gan. Il is incomprehensible. For what could induce iiu officer high in rank, and serving in Ihe last great battle, Io go where he was cer tain Io be arrested and tried for his life '! It it certainly a remarkal.le instance of pulling one’s head in a lion s msiilh. ■ . , la Franco, love is a comedy ; in England, a tragedy; in Italy, an opera; in Germany, a melodrama.

We have been furnished with the following letter written by a negro belonging to Col. J. L. Calhoun, and addressed to his young mis tress—the daughter of the Colonel—at New nan. The negro went to the war along with his young master who is a member of the New nan Guards. This is specimen of the down-trodden Af i rican for whom the Yankees sympathize so much. The reader will be careful to observe the of ficial standing anil position of the darkey, and his censure on the officers in the retreat from Laurel Hill.

Our Virginia Correspondence. Manassas Junction, Aug. 2d, 1861. Dear Seals : (Inc of the imposing events the <l:iy I left Richmond, (Tuesday last.,) was the safe arrival of Col. Ector’s Kegiment, who are now encamped about two milts from Ihe city, in a most pleasant grove, and where they will remain for a week yet. They were greeted on their arrival by the enthusiastic cheers of a very large concourse of visitors. A hard travel of forty-eight hours from Al- | lanta, brought me to Richmond with the con viction, that if people knew what they would have to go through to get there, fewer would come than do. The rail road does well enough, only it wants its ways mended; but Ihe scene ry, and the magnificent sleeping cars, and Ihe deUyhtful rest, are only found in the advertise ments, where they are placed on the same principle that, molasses is put on the revolving cylinder of a patent fly-trap—that is, to catch. Our delightful rest consisted of a supper at midnight, of salt ham fried in fat, leather fried ’ in brown soap, strips of beef stewed in grease, tar sauce’pudding, buttons for plumbs, pea nut coffee, minus "long or short siveetnin', ” and soup meagre, made of o.x tails and chips ; I then two hours and a quarter of rest, on the end of a saw horse, (with one hundred and sixty men in the same room,) all of which re quired uo small exercise of the will to induce 0 one to get “astraddle” of. At two and a-half A. M., breakfast. Here is the bill of fare. Fast-good preventer if drowsiness, you know. ’ When you get to Richmond, the same rule II holds good in regard io accommodation as pre vailed at Montgomery, when our Government lived there. One gets a room in accordance with the quantity of baggage he brings. If P one brings only a valise he is showed into a closet, or something very similar; here he finds from two ta four small beds, one half of a pine table, one three by five looking glass, 1 which makes your face look like some of Ranch's caricatures. 11 a fellow wants to tight I and kicks up a row with tho bookkeepers gen erally, and the Proprietor in particular, some thing better is done for him in the sleeping line. But if a man wants to get anything to , eat. lie had better not come here. You may succeed in getting a sodden piece of beef, call “ ed a steak, cooked by steam, some excellent, bread, a cup of fair coffee and a small pal of II butter, most wonderfully variegated in color. My right hand neighbor at the table ordered the servant to bring a plate of butter, all of one color, and explained to me that the mosaic appearance of my plate, arose from tho fact that, it was butter gathered from the plates of yesterday's meals ; and this statement seemed to be confirmed by the presence in it of seve ral crumbs of bread, and the occasional ap pearance of a stray streak of steak gravy. But we ought not to complain, as our bill is II only three dollars a day, with a couple of ex- tra quartets to push up the steward, who feeds you as above. | »Vl-11, wo stood it as long as possible and ' L then put out for 'dynasty Junction : (familiarly so-called by our troops there encamped ; but e in reality, mighty nasty Junction,) where we ar -1 rived after a tedious ride of all day’s dttra ' lion. Visitors are refused passes there in lolcn and it is with difficulty that, even those who have wounded friends or relatives there, can obtain permits to visit, the place ; but your conespoudent, having done some slight, favor for the Government, procured passes for his B friend Tomlinson and himself from the Secre- ■ (ary of War.

Five Yank'es, who in their retreat, stopped at, her house, clamorously demanding refresh ments, were accommodated therewith. Mrs. D. took their arms which had been left in the hall, and sending after some of our troops, up on their approach, and before the 1 ankeeshad finished their meal, she went in and arrested the fellows herself. . Gen Beauregard, upon hearing of this ex ploit, wrote our heroine a facetious note, [ promising her a commission.

Si:ai.s, Dear Sir: I write in my teal, upon an old box. I promised to write for your paper. It was not then my inten tion io go into service so soon ; But 1 am here near where our troops achieved a glorious victory. The Sun is shining brightly upon thousands of freemen trusting in God and ready for the conflict, Victory seems written upon every brow. The love of religious liberty nerves every arm. Brave men and experienced Gen erals are here. J believe the mighty arm of Jehovah is our breast-work. Great God, how can such a. people be conquered! Victory is certain. What, shall I say of the purposes of our offi cers: Nothing; for positively I do not know as much of their movements ns I did when I ( left home; Ido not care to know. One thing is certain, they will do that which will con- | , found “Old Abe,” and his followers. With I ( tliia I am salisfied. We have great confidence j • in our officers. > 1 derive much pleasure in looking at the re- ( suits of the battle fought here a few days since. < I think if decidedly tho greatest one ever fought ( upon tho American Continent. I expect the ( Yankees ate satisfied that there is yet. chivalry t in the South. If they are not it is but another proof of the fact that they are “hard to be satisfied.” How consoling it is to think of the destiny i of the South Already our flag has eleven I n stars. Every one here flouts towards Cuba. I But 1 ought not to say anything about the ac quisition of Territory now. We. have enough now ; but with such a Constitution as we now have, and with all that is necessary to make a people free and happy, we are destined to be come a great nation. So far lam satisfied with camp life. We hava plenty to eat, and good tents to sleep in, plenty of arms, powder and bullets. But even j without those, I believe the people of tho South would go forth unarmed, with an undying trust in God, and “terrible as an army with banners.” PETER. For the Crusader. .dr. Editor : Allow me through your excel lent paper to speak of one who now lies sleep ing in a. Patriot's (leave. ! J knew him long and well, and a nobler, braver spirit never burned in the breast of man, than that of John P. At kinson. lie was a member of the “Echols Guard,” Capt. Howard, from Meriwether co., Georgia, and tell fighting on the blood-stained field of Manassas. In College he was the friend of till, studious, dignified and kind ; he was universally loved, while I and others more intimately associated with, and knowing him best, loved him most. Modest and retiring in his disposition, he instinctively shrank from displaying those finer characteristics and marks of genius which were so signally his, and so well known and appreciated by his warmest friends. Ardent and impetuous, he was one of the first to offer himself a sacrifice upon the altar of his country. Buoyant with hope, antd burning with a desire to avenge his country’s wrongs, he left his home and a large circle.of loving friends to strike for freedom on freedom’s soil! Long and gallantly he fought where hissing ball and bursting shell did their work of death. His clear eye flash ing with heroic fire and his warm heart bound ing with patriotic emotion, he stood, a mark, worthy of poet’s song or painter’s pencil. 1 visited him before his death in Richmond, where he died on last Friday night, after be ing well cared for by a noble family in whose home he found an asylum. We have every reason to believe that he died at peace with God. The choicest flowers of memory and the purest of loving friends, with the tears of a Southern people shall halo the grave, and en circle the memory of the young hero, who has gone to rendezvous in that place where rest the pure, the brave,, the good. L. A. LANE. An Impoverished Population. The New York Daily News sets forth, that, among the pooer classes in that city the bur dens of the war are already beginning to press with a fearful weight. There is no business, no employment, no income, no money. The writer proceeds : “The man who witnesses the winter of 1861 -i)2 in this and other Northern cities, will have need for a heart of marble and a face of brass to resist the emotions of pity and horror which must crowd upon him in beholding the fearful scenes that will present, themselves. A ruined and beggard people, struggling with destitu tion and exorbitant taxational home, aud con tending with expensive and bootless war a broad has been described by history unhappi ly again and again ; but the terrible spectacle , is now apparently about to be reproduced here, with illustrations of unusual poignancy and effectiveness. The inability to pay rents in summer fore shadows a terrible condition of affairs when cold weather shall be upon us. What must be the state of things in November or February if this is what we are to contemplate in Au gust ? It would be easy, doubtless, for land lords to evict tenants and re-let ther premises, but would the comers be likely to do better ? The fact is, the war is running New York. It is the North, and not the South, that is suffer ing the effects of the present hostilities, as every clear-sighted financier and statesman predicted, from the beginning, would be the ease. It is we who arc blockaded —not the cotton Slates. There if but little suffering, comparatively speaking, in Charleston, Savan nah, or New Orleans ; but there is a fearful amount of it in New York. Boston and Phila delphia. The industry of the South is not paralyzed. The negro still hoes his cotton, rice, or su gar field, as he did before the war, and returns to dance before sun-down ; but our Northern mechanic, business man, or laborer —how does the war affect him? How does the capitalists of whom the New York correspondent of a Philadelphia journal tells, whose August ren tal roll in this city has shrunk from three thousand dollars and upwards to a pitiful ninety-six dollars, like the effects of war?— We predict he will soon be a peace man, if he be not already converted; and that he will agree, as the whole community—contractors and epaulette wearers excepted—will, ere long, with the peace organ, the New York Daily News, that this war ought to come to an end. ‘Tile Ball Opened In East-Tennessee." For some time it has been known that Capt. Thornburg, of Union county, a strong Lincoln ite, has been organizing a military company for the avowed purpose of aiding in ihe sub jugation of the South. The arrangement be ing complete, on Friday last, they took up the line of inarch for Kentucky, to unite with the Lincoln forces, there being organized and to return to their own ‘native section,’ to re enact upon the soil of East Tannessee the damnable deeds that has marked their course in Missou ri, Yirginia and Maryland. Fortunately, however, a report of their movement reached the ears of Lieut. Col. F. M. Walker, in command at Cumberland Gap. Forthwith he dispatched the gallant II. M. Ashby, with a portion of the cavalry un der his command, to intercept t|j»passage and if possible to arrest tWryfgleader. They., came in contact with Capt. Thornbug and* l|ts traitor band of eighty men, near n Scott county. They were armed with John Brown pikes, and pistols, bowie knives and some few rilles. A surrender was demanded. It was refused, and a charge was made upon them, which put the whole party to flight.— Several shots were fired, one of which took effect in the neck ofCapt. Thornburg, checked his locomotion and forced him to surrender. Some seven or eight others were captured, besides 14 horses, 27 pikes, several large knives, pistols, rilles, satchels, saddles. In fact, it was miniature Manassas affair. Lieut. Gibbs wan the hero of the battle.— Capt. Thornbug had a valuable horse, which Lieut. Gibbs wits anxious to purchase when he entered the Confederate service. Thornburg asked .SIOO for him, but refused io let Gibbs have him at any price. The Lieutenant told him he would yet have (he pleasure of riding him. That whenever Thornbug attempted to cross the Cumberland Mountain on bis hellish mission, lie would capture him, and , take his horse. > What he told him in theje-t has been real ized. Lieut. Gibbs made a gallant charge upon | tho Captain, took him prisoner, and now par ; ados on his fine horse. This is but the beginning in East Tennes- s see, ami unless better counsels prevail, no man 1 can (ell ti e end. This man Thornbug, is rep- : resented as one of tho leading rebellious spirits of this section, lie was found in arms against the Government to which he owes allegiance. , Has committed treason against the State and ( Confederate Government, and the full penalty ( of his crime should bo visited upon him.— r There is no excuse or justification for his acts. , Towards his deluded followers we have differ- r ent feelings. They “know not what they do." v They have been misled and deceived, and are (hi) victims of misplaced confidence.

The Houston Telegraph calls attention to the supply of salt in the rear of Corpus Christi, which, it would seem, is sufficient for the supply of the whole Confederacy. The salt is found in the Laguna Madre, once a long narrow bay, but which has been cut off from the sea by the formation of a bar. Dur ing nine months of the year there is no rain, I and the water which flows in from the sea is rapidly evaporated, leaving a deposit of salt from one to two feet deep, of a quality equal to Turk’s Island. The Telegraph estimates that there are not less than a thousand mil lions of bushels of salt in the lagoon, within the reach of the rudest appliances for gather ing. The mode of gathering this salt, says the Telegraph, is, by having Mexican cartmen, to deliver it in Corpus Christi bay. There are times, we are informed, when the salt, may be scraped into flatboats and taken to deep water. But the cartmen can, it is believed, be obtain ed to deliver a hundred thousand bushels in Corpus bay at cost of not over ten cents per bushel. From Corpus there is inland naviga tions for flat bottomed scows to within twenty miles of the Brazos river. As we have before stated, this salt is far su perior to Liverpool salt; and if Old Abe’s blockade forces us to open a business of sup plying ourselves with our own salt, it will not be the least, of the benefits it will confer upon us. We believe it will be possible to deliver salt in Houston at from a cent to a cent and half per pound. It is now worth two and a half- The Catholics and the War- The whole Catholic population of the South are with us, heart and hand, in this war. The Charleston Catholic Miscellany exults over our victory at Manassas, and adds : “Providence has twice, within the last ten days, blessed our arms with victory in Virgin ia. The battle of the 18th was a brilliant suc cess, that of the 21st a most decided victory. The hirelings came on rejoicing, taking our speedy flight for granted. They came with sound of trumpet and joyful music ; with extra festival dishes to banquet after their anticipa ted conquest ; with handcuffs for our vanquish ed prisoners, or it may be for our “contraband articles of war” that their philanthropy came to rescue from Southern bondage into West I India freedom. But a just God has confounded their coun sels, and turned their glee and rejoicing into dismay and defeat. Such a complete rout was never seen on this continent since it was peo pled by civilized inhabitants. Our volunteers defeated t heir regulars, captured vaunted bat teries at the point of the bayonet, and pursued and slaughtered them like sheep in their cow ardly Hight. And they were two to our one ! All honor to our Beauregards, Johnsons and other brave leaders ! All sympathy and re spect to the memory of the Bees, Bartows, Johnstons, and others of the fallen brave 1 — But, above all, thunks to Divine Mercy that guided the counsels and nerved the arms of our brave warriors ! Let our wicked foe trust in his horses and chariots, in his strong weap ons and great numbers ; but feeling that our cause is righteous, let our trust be in the name of the Lord. There is said to be even a very great change in the Catholics of the North who have enlist ed. Many of them declare that they were in duced to enlist by the representation that their churches had been burned down in the South, and that all the Sisters of Charity had been turned out of tho Convents, which had been converted into barracks. They are amazed to find the statement so utterly false, and to learn how many of their countrymen are enlisted on the side of the South, Mr. Thomas F. Meagher, who was in the fight on Sunday last, yesterday told one of the Priests here, says a Washington correspondent, that he would never again take up arms a gainst the South ; that God was on their side, and that if he fought again it would be for them. The Soldier’s Burial. It was an affecting scene, the burial of two young gentlemen, Francis P. Haralson and Henry Vogelin, on the evening of the 4th in stant, at Hollywood cemetery. They were young men of great promise, of highly re spectable parentage, residing in the same town (Selma, Alabama.) They enlisted in company A, 4th Alabama Regiment, and went forth to peril their lives in the defence of the country. In the Battle at Manassas, this Regimenl was, during the whole of the fight, exposed to the enemies guns, and for one half hour, unaided and alone, kept the enemy in check that re inforcements might come to them, being all the while in the closest contest, and in the most galling fire. In this hard contest, these young men, with their brave comrades, insen sible to fear, while taking down the enemy by their well-aimed, deadly shots, lost their lives. History does not record a case of more deter mined, persistent bravery than was exhibited by this Regiment. They stood like a ■ wall* of rock amid the shower of bullets aimed at them, and three times resisted the chargT of an almost innumerable host. Thirty-six of them were killed in this great struggle, and one hundred i.nd fifty were wounded. Their coffins were borne by two hearses to their final resting place, followed by a num ber of the friends of their families, and others who honored them because they had nobly died for their country. As we approached their graves, where side by side they were laid to rest, on the top of an elevation covered with beautiful blue grass sward and cool shade trees, the golden hues of the setting sun, re flected from the waters of ihe James river, shed a mellow light over the scene, it reminded ■fine of that calm and holy bliss which their ( jwell ordered livesjptve assurance was their in heritarfee in a world. • Tlte Rev. Dr." Burrowk feeling and eloquent remarks at the grave, in which he took occasion to say that these and like in stances were some of the sacrifices we were called to make to maintain our independence and to enjoy the privilege of governing our selves; that our consciences were acquitted of having meditated any wrong upon the people of the North. We had not invaded them, nor sought to injure them ; but they had come up on our soil to lay waste our fields aud to de stroy our people. He denounced the death of these noble youths as murder—yes, downright murder—aud assured his hearers that, as the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the church, so the tree of liberty, enriched by such precious blood, would take deep roots and flourish utffil beneath its shade millions of freemen should calmly repose in the enjoy ment of peace, prosperity and happiness After a fervent and affecting prayer, by the Rev. Dr. Talheid, “we buried our dead out of our sight.” As we threw the earth upon them, tears coursed the cheek of sturdy man hood from those unused to weep, and the com pressed lips and fixed eyes told “this blood shall be revenged.” No father, no mother was there to take a last adieu of their dead soldier boy—they wept in their far distant homes for the loss of their loved ones they should see no more. But woman, to her holy mission, was early at the graves, and strewed the fresh mound with sweet aud beautiful flowers. The strick en parents of these departed youths should be consoled by the reflection that their sons died nobly defending their liberty, and that while they sleep in a distant land, and may no more return to gladden their homes, yet a little while and they shall meet them— ‘■Upon that bright anj blissful shore Where comes no shadow, falls no stain; Where those who meet shall part no more And throe lontr parted meet again.” [AVcAmoW Examiner. A gentleman, who spoke of having been i struck by a lady’s beauty, was advised to kiss j the rod. • A Soldier's Emotion In Battle. Our citizens inexperienced in the battle field will find the most terrible moments just before the battle begins. A soldier in his narration published in Howe’s Achievements of Ameri cans,” gives some interesting items on this head in his description of the battle of I‘alo Alto, the opening battle of the war. When all was ready, both armies stood still for about twenty minutes, each waiting for the other to begin the work of death, and during this time, I did not see a single man of the en emy move ; they stood like statues. We remained quiet with two exceptions. Gen. Taylor followed by his stafl, rode from left to right in a slow pace, with his leg thrown over like a woman, as he passed each regiment, he spoke words of encouragement. I know not what he said to the others, but when he came up to where we stood, be looked steadily at us ; I suppose, to see what effect the novel circumstances in which we were placed had upon us, and as he razed, he said : “The bay onet, my hardy cocks! the bayonet is the thing !” The other occasion was that of Lieul Blake, of the engineers, who volunteered to gallop along the eaerny’s line, in front of both armies, and count their guns ; and so close did he go that he might have been shot a hundred times. One of the officers of the enemy, doubtless thinking l.e had some communication to make, rode to meet him ; Blake, however, paid no attention to him, but rode on, and then returned and reported to Taylor. Thus stood those two beligerentarmies, face to face. What were the feelings of those thousands ? How many thoughts and fears were crowded into those few moments! Look at our men! A clammy sweat is settled all over their faces slightly pale, not from coward ly fear, but from an awful sense of peril, com bined with a determination not to flinch from duty. These are the moments when true sol diers resign themselves to their fate, and con sole themselves with the reflection that what ever may befall them they will act with honor • these are the moments when the absolute cow ard suffers more than death—when if not eer tain that he would be shot in his tracks, he would turn and flee. Fighting is very hard work ; the man who has lived through a two hour’s fight, has lived through a great omounl of physical and mental labor. At the end of a battle I always found that I had perspired so profusely as to wet through all my thick wool en clothing, and when I had got cool, I was as sore as if I had been beaten all over with a club. When the battle commences, the feelings undergo a change. Reader, did you ever ste your house on fire? if so, it was then yon rushed into great danger: it was then you went over places, climbing over walls, lifted heavy loads, which you never dould have done in your cooler moments; you then have sx perienced some of the excitement of a soldier in battle. I always knew my danger—that any moment I was liable to be killed,yet such was my excitement that I never realized it. Ail men are not alike. Some are cool ; some are perfectly wild or crazy; others are so prostra ted by fear that they are completely unnerved —an awful sinking and relaxation of all their energies take place, awful to behold : they tremble like an aspen, slink into ditches and covert places, cry like children, and are totally insensible to shame—dead to every emotion but the overwhelming fear of instant death. We had a few, and but a few, of such in our army. As the two armies were facing each other, it was remarkable to see the coolness of our men. There they stood, chewing bits of buscuit, and talking about the Mexicans—some wondering if they would fight; others allowing that they would, and like demons, etc. I kept my eye on the artillery of the enemy, and happened to be looking towards their right wing, when suddenly a white curl of smoke sprang up there from one of their guns, and then I saw the dust fly some distance in front where the ball struck. Instantly another, and then an other rich curl of smoke arose, succeeded by booming sound, and the shot came crashing toward us. The enemy fired very rapidly, and the balls knocked the dust about us in all directions—some went over our heads, others struck the ground in front and bounded away. Our batteries now went to work, and poureJ -1-11 in upon them a perfect storm of iron ; Lieu' tenant Churchill and his men began with their eighteen pounders, and when the first was fired it made such a loud report that our men gave a spontaneous shout, which seemed to inspire us with renewed confidence. I could hear ev ery word the Lieutenant said to his men. When the first shot was fired, he watched the ball, saying, “Too high men; try another! “too low, men: try again—the third time is the charm !” The third shot was tired, and I saw with my own eyes the dreadful effect of that and the following shot. “Thet’s ii, my boys !’ shouted Churchill, jumping up about two feet; you have them now? keep her at that;” and so they did, and every shot tore complete lanes through the enemy’s lines ; but they stood it manfully. The full chorus of battle now raged; twenty three pieces of ar tillery belched son? their iron hail. We were ordered to lie down in the grass to avoid the shot: this puzzled the enemy, and they could not bring guns to bear upon uo, making our loss very small. Many were the narrow escapes; one ball came within six inches of my left side. The force of the shot was tremendous ; a horse’s body was no obsta. cle at all; a man’s leg was a mere pipe stem. I watched the shot as it struck the roots of the grass, and it was astonishing how the dust flew. In about an hour the grass caught on fire, and the clouds of smoke shut out the op posing armies from view. We had not as yet lost a man from our regiment. In the ob. scurity the enemy changed their line, and the eighteen-pounders, supported by our regiment, took a new position on a little rise of ground. As we moved < n to the spot, a six-pound shot carried away the lower jaw of Capt. Page, and then took off a man’s head on the right, as clean as with a knife. The blood of poor Page was the first blood I saw ; he was knocked down in the grass, and as he eu7 deavored to raise himself, he presented such a ghastly spectacle that a sickly, fainting sensa tion came over me, and the memory of that night I shall carry with me to my dying day. A little later, Major Ringgold was mortally wounded at his battery ; I saw him just after it. The shot had torn away a portion of the flesh of his thighs ; its force was tremendous, cutting off both his pistols at the locks, and also the withers of his horse—a splendid steed which was killed to relieve him of his misery. The enemy tried hard, but without avail, to hit our eighteen-pounders. The bat tle continued until night put an end to the scene. We bivouacked where we were. laid on our arms ; we slept, however, but lit-'*”’"*' tie, thinking we might be attacked in our sleep. The enemy had been very severely handled, owing to the superiority of our artillery. The gunners went into it more like butchers than military men: each dropped off his coat, r.ll ed up his sleeves, and tied his suspenders around his waist; they all wore red flannel shirts, and therefore, were in uniform. To seem them limbering and unlimbering, firing a tew shots, then dashing through the smoke, and then to fire agaiu with lightning-like ra.- pidity, partly hid from view by deuse clouds of smoke and dust, with their dark red shirts and naked arms, yelling at every shot they made, j reminded me of a band of demons rather than as men. Our Recognition by England.—The special correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger tays: A letter from London, the writer of which tas been very careful aud reliable in his state nent, asserts that should the first pitched bat le result in the success of the Codfederatea, he recognition of the Confederacy would be » Ixed fact, and that as goes England, sc goes : rance and the Continent.
