The "TIells" of Richmond.

The. city of Richmond is full of the vii
est licentiousness. Among all the loath-
some vices imported into it by the harpies
who prey upon the army, that Of gambl-
ing has become so prominent and brazen
as to defy public decency as well as law,
intruding its allurements on the most
freguented parts of our most public
streets. This infraction of the law and
abuse of public decency appears to be
easily winked at in the license and cor
ruption Of the times, to which an ineffi-
cient police does all in its power to con-
tribute. The painted dens of San Fran
cisco and "hells" of the old Federal city
were not whit more diabolical than the
saloons" on Main street, Richmond
These resorts are presided over by elegant
gambling adventurers who may be seen
any day on our street corners in the
dainty affectation of semi-military cos
tune, staring ladies out of countehance,
or enticing young men into their COM
pany. There is said to be now IN this
city sufficient number of gamblers to
form regiment. 1t would be en- excel
lent idea to impress these "soldiers OF
fortune" giving them the alternative Of
the war or the Penitentiary.--Richmo'd

Raise Fruit.

The Macon Journal and Messenger
says:-The South is constantly devoting
more attention TO fruit raising. We hope
this spirit of improvement will continue
to increase until we shall be entirely in
dependent of importations from abroad.
In no department Of horticulture has
more interest been manifested than in
grape growing. A little attention and ex-
pense would enable almost every family
to sip the pure juice of this delicious and
healthful fruit under their own vine and
fg-tree." Indeed, we hope to see more
attention bestowed upon the culture of all
the various fruits which flourish in this
climate. 1t will save many pounds of
meat and be conducive to general health.

The Kentucky Home Guard.

There is great complaint that the men,
bers of the Home Guard will not enlist in
the Lincoln army. A Louisville cores
pondent OF the Cincinnati Gazette says:
Three weeks ago, when the uprising Of
the secessionists, under Buckner, placed
Louisville i'm imminent danger, about
twelve hundred, mostly young men, Home
Guards, went ont on the Nashville road
to check the advance of the rebels. They
were sworn and served for ten days, at
the expiration of which they came back
to the city. Upon their return there was
good deal of talk, for several days, about
their re-enlisting en- n,asse for the war.-
But up to this time. of the twelve hun.
dred, hardly hundred, as was informed
last night by a recruiting officer, have
thus far made good their word.

The Bank of Phillinpi

We see it stated in the Richmond Dis
patch of late date, that at meeting of
the Stockholders, recently held at Char
lottesville, they determined to remove
the Bank of Phillippi to Goodson. The
stock of the Bank is mostly owned i'll

Before Phillippi fell into the hands of
the Federalists, under the authority of
an ordinance Of the State Convention, the
money, books, notes and papers belonging
10 the Bank, were removed TO Churottes-

enthusiasm, resolution recommending
Congress to suspend the collection of i'm.
port duties, and to make our ports open to
Free Trade for all nations who maintain
peace with us.
Some slight notifications and addi-
tions were made to the action of yester-
day upon the subject of cotton advances.
A resolution was adopted requesting
Congress to alter and adjust coins, weights
and measures to decimal system.
A series of resolutions were adopted
upon the Sequestration Act, recommends
ing that no payment of debts sequestrat-
ed be regarded during the war; that
claims for indemnity and Indebtedness
due by the North, be allowed as set off
that the courts be empowered, in certain
cases, to modify the retrictive effect oi
the bill; that the property of Northern
residents living under disabilities Of cove
ture or infamy be exempted.

Why Have We No Navy?

A Florida exchange thus CON-
ments upon the above intcrogatory:
Nearly eight months have elapsed
since the Government of the Confed-
crate States was duly organized and
assumed u de tacto existence. Its
strength has been constantly aug
mented by the addition ofncw States.
Large armies, comprising the best
fighting materials in the world, have
been raised as if by magic, have met
the ruilian hordes of the North Oh
ground of their own selection, and
sent them panic-stricken to their shell
tered entrenchmcnts. The illusion
of Yankee superiority in arms has
been happily dissipatcd, their pres
tige gone, and Southern valor stands
unparalleled by that of any nation
in the world.
Yet it seems, that our successes on
the various battle-fields have tended
TO enervate, or at least render us neg
lcctfUl Of the employment Of other
means of warfare, such as siuation
demands and circumstances justify.
In our opinion, we should have had
at least two or three iron-platcd war
propellers months ago, with which
the scattered navy of the United
States, engaged in the blockade,
could, one by one, have been captur.
ed or sunk. With the immense iron
factories in the South, and the rail
road and water facilities for trans.
porting iron plating, we do not see
why such vessels had not been made
and fitted out at New Orleans. Two
such vessels starting from that point
could easily capture the blockaders
off the Mississippi first, then visit and
bag those off Mobile, Galveston. APP
alachicola, Fernandina, Savannah, and
Charleston. And by having a large
surplus force Of men on board, and
adding the captured vessels to their
force, manned by these men, by
the time they would be ready to
leave Charleston, where they might
reft and repair damages in a short
time, the fleet would be strong G.
nough to cope with any that old Abe
might send out. Besides breaking
the blockade, it would forever stop
the marauding expeditions which
now threaten our coasts. If iron
clad steamers are impregnable, star
ting with two such vessels under
competent officers, land we certainly
have such, who will deny that we
will capture or destroy the whole
Lincoln navy in less than three
months,
