CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA, VA.
The Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press remarks:
Business is entirely suspended, except in
bakeries, CONTEMPORARIES and cigar stores, and
the indispensable, but very much diminished,
daily call for provisions and groceries. The
troops are encamped, leaving only guard in
various sections, and a more sombre stiffness
| have never seen pervading any city. But
this ia to be of short duration, as capitalists
are on hand to open and drive businass when
ever an opening offers.
There is much suffering in Alexandria, and
fears are entertained that it will be much
increased among poor families. The men,
unable to obtain better employment, have
enlisted in the rebel army to obtain food for
their families. They have gone off with the
Southern forces, and their families are desti-
tute, in many cases. Exertions are being
made by SOM benevolent individuals to col
lect money and provisions for their aid.
The splendid steamship line formerly run.
ming between Alexandra and New York
was discontinued at the outbreak of the war
movement, and the commodious wharf of the
company, at Alexandra, is going to decay.
The boats are employed partially inthe Gov
eminent service.
The Orange and Alexandria Railroad, the
freight-trains on which passed along through
the city in front of the warehouses, where
goods were removed to the stores without
trucking, has been brought to a dead stand
by the removal of several miles of the rails
in the suburbs. The of the city
is, for the present, entirely suspended.

CAUTION TO MILITARY CoRRRsPoEDEHTs.-
The following extract from a letter written
by an officer commanding a corps Of Massa-
ehusetts militia is worthy Of the special
attention Of all our volunteer forces. Several
articles have been published in the paper,
rejecting very harshly upon officers in actual
service. They are written, in many cases. by
soldiers to their friends, not designed to be
published, not handed TO the papers by
recipients. Editors should know that, by
their publication, serious damage may be
done, both to the writer and the service. The
officer TO whom we now refer has no personal
reason for the suggestion, Is all the letters
from his command indicate the warmest
feeling Of attachment 10 him and his officers:
81 wish you would call the attention of the
papers to letters from privates, praising
officers, &c. IL Is strictly forbidden By The
army regulations, and Is q cause ofpunishmeEf
By court martial for any officer or private 70
Write or PHblish, IN any to0y, any article
praising, o. blaming, o. diseussllg ne conduct
Of any officer or man. You will see the pro-
priety Of this while the service continues 4;
after the term ia over each officer and private
will be fairly tried by the judgment Of neigh
bors at home. But q severe article on an
officer, written from the camp and published
at home, and then returned 70 the camp
might do most serious mischief and injustice.

more freedom, from the fact that every thing

he may be compelled TO give orders which

Receives His Deserts.
A few days since q young lady Of this
city, who has for ZONE time been afisnced 10

a letter from her betrotbed, announcing that
be had joined the army, and urging her not
TO be offended, as Il was glorious 70 serve.
ones country and promising, in case his
life was spared, to return, when the two
would forget in mutual bliss the anxieties
and cares they had felt during their separa-
ton. The lover, In the progress of his epis-
tie, grew both patriotic and sentimental he
dwelt upon the glory of dying for ones coun-
try, and tenderly pleaded that, should he
fall, she would remember him in her prayers,
and never throughout life TO forget their
early happiness. yQfrw ~ trs~
In a few days he received a reply full Of
tenderness and sympathy; but at the same
time commenting his resolution 10 respond
to the call of his country, and describing in
glowing terms, the happiness It would afford
her to know that she was to be q hero's wife.
In the mean time, q few days of camp life
had rather cooled the ardor of the young
man; boiled beans, and dry bread, although
no great incentive to love, are a still less in
centive to war; and he proposed if she would
consent, to desert from the ranks, and fly
beyond the pale Of danger. The lady on re-
ceiving the proposition, grew so indignant
that she felt she could not do justice to the
subject in words, and she accordingly pro-
cured q cord, wrapped It up carefully and
directed it to her pusillanimous lover, with
out a word Of comment, relying upon the
silent eloquence of the hemp, to supply any
ellipsis.

What the North Must be Prepared For
Despair Of the south.

What the North Must be Prepared For
Despair Of the south.
A Richmond (Ya.) letter to the New York
Tribune closes as follows:
l will again implore you to be prepared for
a murderous attack upon the invading army
of the Union. Let that army, therefore be
formidable in numbers. There are two opin-
ions here in regard TO meeting the enemy.
One is TO let him advance to the interior of
the State, and thus lull him into a sense of
security, in order to better annihilate him at
the most unexpected moment another is to
repel invasion Immediately.
Be prepared for all these contingencies.
Be also prepared to mest-not soldiers, but
murderers, freebooters, pirates, fends, frantic
with a lust of blood, chuckling with delight
at the thought of scalping, disemboweling,
killing thrice and thrice over, their enemy.
Be prepared for treachery, arson, for all hor-
Iors, sins and crimes.
Be prepared for meeting the scum of hui
manity, who, in times of peace, raise MUIR
derous hands against Legislators in their
seats in the Senate, and who, in time of war,
will pile murder upon assassination, aud
crime upon crime. Let your commanding
officers not expose themselves unnecessarily.
One of the special efforts of the 'Chivslry"
will be 10 shoot down the commanding off {.
GERS. As in Europe, insane regicides thought
themselves able to upset a government by
aiming at the breast of a ruler, so in the
South, the guilty fools think they can upset
an army by aiming at the head Of the COM
mander.
Though I solemnly r~eiterate and confirm
all l have said about the intrinsic weakness
of the South, in a military, pecuniary, intel
l%ectual, political, moral and general sense,
yet remember-for Gods sake, remember
that despair gives strength, and that the
South is in despair. l endeavor to get at
the truth, not to overrate the resources of
the South, but also not to underrate the sort
of disbolical inspiration which it derives
from its wickedness and despair. -

If Congress had not taken tse subject In
hand the people would have done so. They
were fully prepared to baulk utterly the
avaricious n despicable scheme Of com
pelling the South, by blOckading her coast,
to export her production by the inland
route to Northern markets.
OF course, II the Yankees could realize
such a splendid contamination of their hopes
and plans they would chuckls with In

But, Heaven be praised, there is not now
the remotest chance for the North's clutch
ing a dime of the vast treasure which they
had confidently calculated would be accu-
mulated by them in the midst Of the war by
her bankers, traders ~spinners, weavers, and
dealers of all kinds. We are rejoiced to think
that her looms and spindles, after working up
the present supply of the raw material on
hand, will be under the necessity of going
into a state of suspension, which will be but
preliminary TO b~ankruptcy-for if they can
not get the cotton which they need, what
can they do but shut up2
1t is now pretty certain that during the
continuance Of this war they will not obtain
another bale of cotton for love or money;
and we do most devoutly pray that come
war or peace, they never may obtain another
except by way Of Liverpool. We are utterly
opposed to selling them an ounce of IL, or
buying from them q dollars worth Of any
thing that we can make ourselves or import
from Europe. This is now the true policy of
the South, and a rigorous enforcement Of il
will be an inexhaustible mine Of wealth to
her people. b
It is the "open sesame" Of the Arabian
fable-the secret Of acquiring an overflow
ing exchequer, and of infinitely promoting
Southern prosperity at all points.
The blockade of our cost, then, will, in
stead Of being at all injurious 10 us, prove
one of the most prolific sources Of our future
growth and honor, simply by distinguishing
forever the absurd passion for lavishing our
money upon Yankee notions, which has
hitherto been our bane.
