There is good reason to believe that the

rendering to Senator BrrckinriGge an invita-

there IA sub committee was appointed to wait
upon him to apprise him of the wishes OF his

Senator and his friend Nallandig ham ih Bal

THE uGRAND ARMY"

From letter published in the Baltimore Ex-
change, it appears that the decentralization of the
Federal troops in the city of Washington is much
greater than has been heretofore supposed. The
writer says that the " mutiny,' instead of being
confined to the Seventy ninth New York Regiment,
has broken out in eight or ten others. The men
refuse to submit to military law, and the officers
are powerless to enforce it.
The correspondent, who writes from Washington,
states that Mcclellan is using every effort to con-
ceal from the North the deplorable and indeed
hopeless state of insubordination into which the
troops have fallen" 1t is as much as the regulars
can do to keep the volunteers from engaging i'll
general rebellion and defiance -....o. 49,.
Many Of the officers, too, have resigned-lofty
two in one day. Some of them are dis5us'eo
generally with the conduct OF the war anu e'e'y
tbino olse arorua them and others have throWnup
+Loir cornu,ieaons because they could do nothlng
with their men, having lost all control over the1'
Tho maonitade Of. the revolt may be inferred from
.be fact that two three hundred soldiers out oil
single regiment had to be put in irons.
There ID also said to be very pretty ieud grow
ing up between the officers of the volunteers and
the officers Of the regulars. The appointment or
Mcclellan to the chief command does not Sit well
on the stomachs of the latter, and there IS line
prospect OF row. lhere Is aa oia "udse 1nat
when rogues fall ont honest men get their dues,
from which we infer that the future of the South is
rather promising. ..
The Manassas battle, we suspect, will be the ruin
of the 's grand army" yet. The grand army has
no relish for a repetition of the experiment When
the on to Richmond enterprise so sgnally mis-
carried on the fatal 2lst Of July it demorazed and
dispirited the army to that extent that they will
never be good soldiers again. 1t is fair to suppose
that if Beauregard were to attack Washington, the
remnant of the grand army would make but a
feeble resistance. From the fact that troops have
been called for even without uniforms or arms, to
come to Washington as quickly as possible, the
faith of Scott and Mcclellan in the grand army
does not appear to be very strong-and we would
not be surprised to hear at any moment that the
"graud army had :" busted up.h Nothing keeps
them in subjestion now, according to all accounts
but the terrors Of military rule.

A Harbor for our Privateers.


Curacao, the island where the Confederate pirate,
the Sumter, so comfortably refitted and obtained
supplies, lies in the Caribbean Sea, near the coast
OF Venezuela, in latitude IL N. and longitude 60
W. 1t belongs to the Dutch Government, and has
been for many years depot from which the Spa l.
ish Main and many of the surrounding islands have
been supplied with provisions and manufactu, es
mostly carried thither from America The island
IS tavorably situated for convenient center of
trade, a fact which was long ago known to the
freebooters and fbusters of the West India seas
who made it one of their headquarters. Many of
the present inhabitants are descended from these
earlier pirates.
The trade of Curacao is at present entirely in
the hands of Dutch Jews, who find here fine op-
portunites for getting wealth, and have for some
years driven out by their unscrupulous trading the
stad and honest old Dutch merchants who formerly
carried on the commerce of the island These
Jews are traders who have no scruples and will be
but too glad to furnish the Confederate pirates
with all they need. They have full sway on the
island, hoid the most important places, have their
creatures in the courts and themselves fiji the
Governors council. The Governor is necessarily
their creature because if he should resist their will
they would have him removed.
There Is small doubt that these people are favor
ably inclined toward our Insurgents being like
these, shareholders and INSCRIPTIONS and eager for
trade OF whatever kind. They have in their stores
all the coal and provisions which Davis priyateers
need. The island has long been the depot in these
seas for powder and shot, and large Quantities OF
Warlke materials are always in store here, in the
hands Of these merchants. And the vessels Of
Davis will lind no difficulty in enstng seamen here
for their plratcal business. 1t is stated that the
Sumter was received in Curacao under protest
from the American Consul This person is named
Moses Jessuroon, native of the island. He is
not, so far as is known, a naturalized American
citizen.
Curacao is only two days and a half sail from
Aspinwall, with q fair wind and current. 1t would
answer exactly for the Confe6erates as pont
whence to strike at California treasure ship !; anc
this is an additional reason why immediate action
should be taken to keep the pirates ont of tbi.

The NeWspaper

A man cats up pound of sugar and the
pleasure he has enjoyed is gone but the infor-
nation he gets from newspaper is treasured
up in mind, to be used whenever occasion
calls for it; for newspaper is not the wis
dom of one man or of two men-it is the
wisdom of the age--of the past ages, too.
A family without a newspaper is always an
age behind the times in general informa-
ton; besides, they never think much, or
find anything to think about. And there
are little ones growing up in ignorance with
ont taste for reading. Besides all these
evils there is the wife, who, when her work
is done, has to sit down with her hands in
her lap, and has nothing to amuse her mind
from the tolls and cares Of the domestic circle
Every family should at least take one paper

The summers work is over, and the pros
pect for steady employment for aborers
during the fall and winter is very poor. To
all who are or expect to be out of employ
mcnt our advice is, volunteer. The pay of
the soldier is as large as that OF the laborer,
and in addition, every one will receive at
the close of his term of service, $l0O and
1C0 acres Of public land. A man with or
dinary prudence may come out at the expi-
ration of three years, with not less than
$500. How many are there that do better
at home? There are chances now of en-
listing in cavalry. infantry and artillery com

ment needs the services of every man that
