The Hard Times.

The New York correspondent OF the Phila-
delphia Lsdger, writes under date Of Aug. 2:
Though yesterday was "quarter-day,'' can
not learn that any OF the landlords have met
with remarkable success in collecting their
rents. | alude more particularly to that class
Of them who are chiefly interested in tenement
houses, occupied By families generally of the
poorest class, many Of whom, at this moment,
have as much as they can do to keep soul and
body together without paying rent. The agent
Of a leading capitalist, who owns a dozen or
more Of these houses in the Sixteenth ward, in
which are some three hundred and fifty ten
ants, tells me his total returns TODAY, instead
Of being $1,000, or thereabouts, did not exceed
500. At every department be says bis agent
was met with, not with the money, but lugubri-
ous stories, of I" No money-no wOTk-no
nothing'' at would be the easiest thing in
the world to turn these defaulting tenants into
The street," added the landlord, "but in that
case my houses would have to be closed for the
season, or else another set OF tenants would
get il, who would, in turn, default when next
quarter day came round" Some of the agents
tell Of the rough reception many of them get
from families who have sons or husbands in
the army, that class Of persons having got it
into their heads that the Union defense commit
tee, or the common council, are bound at least
to pay the rent.

Affnirsin missnurI,

At last accounts from the extreme south
west. Gen. Price was encampsd in Mcdonald
county, with force variously estimated at
from five to eight Thousand men. McCulloch
was about seven miles distant, in Arkansas,
with six Thousand troops. Prices command
was lying By, waiting for arms from the South,
on the arrival OF which be was to face north
ward and march upon Jefferson City. On the
10th of last month, these secession soldiers
was still in statG quo, but since the invasion of
Gen. Pillow they may have changed their po-
sition somewhat.
We have no later intelligence in reference to
the movement of the disunion army in the
southeast From appearances a large body of
men are to be concentrated there, to be divided
hereafter into different columns, perhaps, and
to ehdeaVor TO make their way up to some
focus near st. Louis or the State capital. The
movements "a foot to prevent this approach
are believed abe ample, and are carried en-
with the greatest order and efficiency.
In the northwest part of the State every
thing is very quiet, with no present prospect
OF the breaking out of hostilities. The
troubles in The northeastern counties seem
to be subsiding, and the mischief makers re-
turning to their homes. Still there are elements
Ia operation which may bring about renewed
outbreaks at any moment. The Iowa regt-
ments Of Col. McDowell and Col. Worthng-
toa are, bv order of Gen. Fremont, to be moved
down to Keolluk mmediately, where they will
be in readiness to act with promptness and
effect.
The interier Of the State is now compara-
lively Tranquil, and will, we think, soon be-
come much more so.-St. louis Republican.

lgS7 Twenty-one wounded Yankees arrived
from Manassas by train at 2 O'Clock yester-
day, and the regular mail train, which got in
later in the evening, brought seventy-two un-
wounded prisoners Of war, and two parties
who are said to be citizens Of Virginia, ar
rested on suspicion Of treason. One is a
preacher, H hose name we could not learn; the
ether is farmer named Crook, who has been
4 resident OF Fairfax county for the last ten
years We could find out nothing as to the
circumstances Of their arrest.
The prisoners were marched to Hsrwood's
prison between double file Of soldiers, fol-
lowed by motley and excited crowd of men,
women and children, negroes and dogs. Two
United States regulars, clothed in their heavy
blue great-coats, headed the queer looking
brigade, while bis reverence and the farmer,
from Fairfax brought up the rear. We under
stand that the regulars wore these coats
throughout the great fight at Manassas. This,
we think, accounts for their not running
sooner than they did. No man with hall
sense would attempt fight in coat weighing
near twenty pounds, aud with tails that al
most drag the ground.-Richmoad Erdminer.

Fr58 The New York WSSl3 admits that the
rebellion in the South is not the mere gratuit-
Gus treason that northern agitatore who did Sc
much to call it into existence, insist upon. It
says:
That the South has no cause for dissf sfection
is more tAan we ear say. The long continued
attacks upon its favorite institution from north.
ern presses, puipits, churches, state legisIa-
lures, and individuals even in congress, are
not to be set down as nothing. By some thew
were intended to sunder the Union; by more
however, only to exterminste slavery-as
though the latter could be peaceably done
without the former.

THOSE GUEs.-Major John Forsyth, wri-
ting to bis paper en- the 30th ult., from this
city, says:
Speaking Of guns reminds me of gun incl
dent at Manassas. Before the war broke out.
it may be remembered, Gov. Moore dispatched
Capt. Reuben Ihom, Of this city, to the North
to purchase arms. Among others, he ordered
six brass prieces to be cast at James, factory
in Massachusetts. Only two were delivered
before the crisis intervened, and the other four
were seized by the New York authorities.
which also tried to seize the person Of the can
tain. These four were turned over to an ar
tillery company from Connecticut, which was
informed Of the history of the pieces, and vi b
the Injunction to carry them to Alabama, and
deliver tdeir contents to those for whom thew
were originally destined. The Connecticut
company undertook the job, and got the pieces
as far as Manassas, where they fell into the
hands of Beauregard, the prize of battle.
