count of his stewardship to the general receiver.
Stringent penalties are attached to any infringe
ment of this section. Although we do not happen
to be agent for any Northern citizen, yet we nave
no objections to talk of what we do know. Inc
other day we alluded to several thousand shares u
bank stocks owned by Northern citizens. lnere
are also some hundred shares of the old Pontenar'
train Railroad stock owned North-say loo SHARES
(sl0,000) by George W. Denton, resioeh' y.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y; also over loo shares o"neu
by y. A.. Bradford, late counsellor-at-iaW. M'.
Bradford left here about two years since giving up
his practice His citizenship can be readily settled
nv his coming here and taking the oath OF alegl-
ance There is also foreign house large stock
holder. that is, the house has branch IN New |
York, or the principal is there, and the branch
here IF the NewYork member OF tho house Is not
a naturazed citizen of the Northern States or the
Southern Confederacy, the law cannot reach him.
Persons in authority at Richmond have estimated
the value of property, stocks, ETC., which, 1t IS
presumed, includes debts, paper, bonds and
stocks The real estate owned by alien citizens,
located in New Orleans, is estimated at fifty millions
Of dollars. This is entirely too large figures
will show. The total amount of taxable property
in the city and parish of Orleans last year was
little over Sill goo 600. Now it is idle to assume
that $50 OOo,o 900 of this property is owned in the
Northern States. We pretend to know as much
about some matters as the wiseacres at Richmond
The amount of stocks in our banks and other
Citations held by Northerners will not exceed two
millions and a half of dollars. True, they hold
some State, City and Railroad Bonds. Mr.. d. 5.
Withers, who sold out altogether in Louisiana two
wears ago is we are informed, large holder of
Jackson Railroad bonds.
| In the meantime in refreshing our memory, we
find that we hold two hundred dollars worth of
scrip in good insurance company in one of the
| Northern States If the Hessans lay violent hands
on it, we shall, of course seek retaliation so, we
trust our several moneyed institutions and associa
| tons will be prepared to extend to us all informa-
ton regarding their Northern stockholders; if not
for the use of the public, just for our own private
| talk. @. ..,-t1M ,..
| There was very little said about cotton yester

| are in hopes the rainy season is over. There is
very little cotton coming in. The picking is pushed
as fast as the weather will admit. Beyond that
there is no preparation nor any expectation OF any
| being forwarded from the plantations until the

France The usual yearly returns and tables made
up by the Black Republican Price Current in New
York will be of no avail this season. We annex

A RIDE OVER THE MANASSAS BArTLE-FIELD.-
Early yesterday morning, before breakfast, took
arapid ride over the famous battlefield, about six
| miles from the junction. The effect was not APP
petizing. Believe me, it terrible. The field
Of battle stretched desoate, but not blank, before
| the eye. The sky above seemed dead as it but
imperfectly lighted up in the dark, drilling rain,
the horrors of the scene of death. Most of the
Yankee dead had been merely, covered up in shall
low trenches, and from these broken mounds black
and purified limbs stretched out to the sight. Here
was head partially uncovered with the hair drop
ping off at the touch of the tinger-there, bunch
Of CHASTITY and purified fingers clenched over the
shallow earth of its grave. The stencil was almost
intolerable, even in the morning air. An army
surgeon, who accompanied US in our visit to the
field, says that on visiting it but a day after the
battle. he found the corpses with which it
strewn black as negroes. His first exclamation
being, why, how many negro regiments we have
killed."
The field itself shows no signs of the scars of
war The grass has grown again. But the torn
and mangled timber in every direction shows the
terrible effects Of the fire. Even in little trees
scarcely the thickness of the arm, five six shots
can be pointed out In one part of the held the
eye of the visitor is attracted by little pine copse
all crushed and mangled by the fire of artillery.
Just on its skirt is a collection of small stones,
with narrow shaft of slnoothed oak timber stand
ing upright among them, and bearing the name
" Barlow" twas here where the gallant Geor-
gian met HE glorious fate In another part of the
field a shaft of cedar marks the spot where Gen.
| Bee fell. [Cor. Richmond Examiner.
