Tho Captain further states that It was
preached Immediately after his arrival that
the sugar would never 30 allowed to lcavo

Capt. Gale not only borc the misfortune

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

abundant, lacks that stirring interest which

and won. The Salem Register says:

soldiers but there is no doubt the govern

ton. BY the middle of the autumn, there
will be a we'll organized Union army Of three
hur drcd thousand men, to be divided into
three corps of u hundred thousand each, Tor
the South, the Southwest, and the centre OF
the rebel Confcderacy. 1t is believed this
force will be sufficient to regain the forts and
other public property stolen from the United
States.
A fortnight ago all seemed confusion
Now order begins to be established. The
same troops that were fred upon by mob
in Baltimore, have since been quietly campsd
on the highest ground in the city, amid the
friendliest demonstrations of the people. In
the far West q secession encampment has
been broken up, and all its arms, as well as
winan's pixies and the other Baltimore arms,
are in the hands Of the Federal Government.
Washington is powerfully defended, and
troops continually pouring in. Cairo is safe.
Western Virginia is striking terrible blow
at secession. What do we see at the South?
The Montgomery Congress breaks up, uncer-
tain where il will be able TO reasonable. The
coming scarcity is so evident that cotton is
being plowed up to be replaced by corn
Virginia farms are being stripped OF horses
and provisions by Confederate soldiers, pay

cents in the dollar, and soon to DO worth
nothing. Officers who have resigned are
clamoring to be reinstated. With the close

throughout the South.

Situated at delightful point for summer

ALABAMA.-A citizen of Montgomery. AL.
ALBANIA, who is now stopping at Cincinnati,
represents the state Of affairs in Alabama as
follows, Us We learn from the Cincinnati Ga.
zette: -
"IIerc is Union man, and avows that a
vast majority OF the property owners and
merchants Of Alabama will be found on the
side of the stars and stripes as soon rs Mr..
Lincoln shall make his first demonstration
against the rebels; that the secessionists
have oycrawcd the Union men for the pres
ent, but that they cannot keep them in check
very long; and that sentiment OF loyalty
to the government of tho United States Is
growing and strengthening daily. This in
formation can be relied upon: 1t comes from
man who has had every opportunity OF be-
ing conyersant with the political affairs OF
the South. When he left Montgomery
about ten days ago-aour was selling TOR
fifteen dollars barrel, though the local pa
pers were quoting 1t much lower to prevent
bad effect abroad. Business, he says, is en-.
tirely stagnated, and an absolute reign OF
terror has been inaugurated, the character
of which Northern men would scarcely be
willing to believe. To nearly every able
bodied man in the State the issue is present
ed-cnlist in the Southern army or permit
your property to DO con6scatcd. But the
effects of the Southern frenzy arc nowhere
moro apparent than on farms and planta.
tions, where q number Of slaves are owned
Fears of negro instruction are constantly
before the minds Of the proprietors of the
peculiar institution, and the adoption oil
precautionary measures has become almost
universal. Our informant says that the
planters have been seized with sudden mis-
trust of the field hands, and thousands of ne
croes arc now-for the FIRST time in their lives
locked up over night"
A gentleman Of our acquaintance, who
was in Savannah, Ca, about three weeks
since, says that tho prices of provisions there
were enormously high; that pork was sell
ing for $50 barrel, butter from SOC to 81
per h., and other things in proportion. lie
says that there arc many Union men there,
but they are overawcd by the scccssionists.-
The unanimity Of tho Northern people in
support Of the government, has surprised the
seccssionists, and is beginning to make them
regret their foolishners.

Planters refuse to let any Of their white em-

of 800 negroes, expressing his iears, said,
"they know more about politics than most OF
the white men. They know everything that

much alarm. Men sleep with guns at their
