THE PRICE OF CORN The Savannah Republi-
says corn is selling in South Alabama as low
as 40 cents per bushel. The Miedgeve Re-
corder says that corn sold in that city last week at
50 cents per bushel. We are informed by gen.
teman Of this place that resident of gainesville,
Georgia, informed him that corn was selling at
IS cents Der bushel in that place.

PRIsoNERs.-We understand that our city au-
thorties have agreed with the Secretary Of War
to allow the care Of one hundred and fifty Yankee
prisoners in our District JAIL and that a company
will be Immediately raised to guard them. We
regret the necessity of having to tolerate such
scoundrels, and to waste the time of our men in
looking after them, and in paying money to cup
port them They came on to aid in our destruc-
ton and no doubt would do it here if they can
get chance. Too much vigilance cannot be had
in watching them. We trust whoever has them
in charge will keep them entirely Isolated Co..

The prisoners passed Charlotte Saturday morning
on their way to Columbia, $50 in number.

MATTERS IN AND AROUND WASHINGTON.-Th
Republican, thorough Lincoln sheet, published
under the eye of Old Abe at Washington, says
report prevailed on the avenue that Gen.
Mcclellan would be sent West, to put the army
there on fair war footing the quarrels between
Fremont and Blair having left affairs there in a
very questionable and complicated state. Of
course there is foundation for the report. Gen.
Mcclellan cannot under any circumstances, be
spared from the Potomac. He is in daily consul
tation with Gen. Scott, and they carefully review
each others plans before they put into execu-
ton.
On Saturday night private in the 18th Michi-
gan regiment, while on picket duty mile beyond
Barrett's hill, on the Leesburg turnpike, received
a severe wound in the from rebel. From
the description Of the latter, he is supposed to be
a Mr. Williams, of Alexandria, who was confined
for some ten days in a slave pen in that city, but
released by the Government, and who is now
acting as a scout. Orders have been issued that
in the Of his capture, he be hung forthwith.
The amount of forage issued by the Govern
ment daily, in use in Washington aud vicinity,
is, Of hay 2l5 tons, Of grain 100 tons.

VIRGINIA TRAIToRs-The Baltimore papers
of the Goth October announce that "Col. Joseph
Segar for many years resident at Old Point, has
been elected to Congress by the Union voters Of
Eastern Virginia" This bogus election was
doubtless accomplished by Lincolns soldiers at
Fortress Monroe and Newport News, aided, per-
haps, by runaway negroes, and is intended a
partial compensation for the destruction of "Col
Joseph segsr's" property, as well as reward for
his treaehery.

COMFORTABLE TRAIroRs.- II. w.
Bellows, president of the U. S. sanitary
commission, has visited the rebel prisoners
In the forts at New York, and reports them
TO be in a better condition in all respects
than half our own men in the field--not so
crowded as most soldiers in tent, with alb.
undant food, with as good blankets and more
devoted medical attention. There was no
room TO aid anything from the stores of the
sanitary commission. The hospitals were
humanely and tenderly administered. The
worst sufferinss of the prisoner. arise from
the cold climate. the homesickness 10 which
tiany Of them are prey, and their own
sluggish and filthy habits. The complaints
made in the New York papers of the treat
ment OF these men have been very un-
reasonable. Dr. Bellows says il would be
a source of great consolation to believe that
our prisoners are being treated by The rebels
half as well.

FRUITS OF PoLIrENEss.- one of the market houses of Phila,lel phia, is genius of a butcher Beneath his sleeves and apron he wears the cost Hest broadcleth- of the inferior grades, but the finest production of French looms. His lin en is as fautless as his exterior garments, while the glistening surface of his marble counters is no less striking than the glossiness of his shirt bosom sparkles a single diamond, stone of six carats weight, and of the first water.-Upon the little finger of his hand gltters circlet of diamonds, six in number, whose aggregate value is considerably more than that of the garniture of his shirt bosom. His complexion is clear red and white-just that style of complexion which Parisian ladies produce by dainty com. mixture of carmine and bismuth. He is man of fine physique, and has an avoirdurois of about 200 pounds.
 His address is polished, and his manners courtly and suave. He commenced life without dollar and is now taxed for some S3O,GO0 in real estate yet is as polite and deferential to his customers as on the day he first embarked in the business of converting quarters of beef into chops aud sirloins. A benevolent lady of large fortune noticed him, and placed at his disposal a fund upon which he has raised the superstruc- ture of his present fortune. He is now rapidly advancing in wealth, and will probably retire upon the eighth of a million. And all through the influence of that specific against adversity- politeness.
