PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
TUESDAY, March 5.
Esq, President, and all the members--Mr (porT
presented remonstrance from w. j. XIX and
others. against erecting market house on Iexinp
ton street, between Green and Pearl streets. &c
ferred.--A communication was received from
the Board of City Commissioners stating that the
amount OF expenses thus far incurred in opening
W arner street, was S676.l7; referred.--Mr.
PHELPS called up the memorial of the "Mecbanics
and Working Men," and asked that it be referred
TO the Committee on City Property. He said that
the memOrialists did not ask for an appropriation
out TOR work, and he believed that there was much
work which the city would be compelled To have
performed at no distant day, and which might as
well be done now. 1t would give great relief
10 the unemployed. The memorial was referred.

the country, with the exception of the banks of
Louisiana, four small banks in Delaware. one or
two in this State, ten in Georgia, three in Alabama
and two in Tennessee.
From $227 100000 in 1851, the banking capital
of the country has increased to $40, OOO, 900 in
1850, ne ary doubling itself in ten years. The num-
Der of banks and branches has increased in the
same period from $40 to 500, and instead of s4s

ZolIicoffer's Retreat in Kentucky.

The retreat of Gen. Zollcofer has proved
to be disastrous and bloody. A letter from
Camp Wildcat, dated Friday last, says he
had left his dead and dying strewn along the
road from that point to Barboursville. 1t is
estimated that l, 900 men perished in the re-
treat alone, and that his loss in the battle and
the retreat will amount to ! 800 men, The
retreat began early on Tuesday morning.
The dead were left on the field to be buried
by the Union troops. The field was literally
strewn with them. They must have fought
like fends. The execution was terrible, and
the wounded were few. The effects of the
long balls. the elinie, are represented to have
been most terrible. Bodies were perforated
and skulls were broken into half dozen
pieces. Many features it was impossible to
recognize. The grape and canister of the
artillery had also found many victims. They
were found lying on the hill sides in groups.
1t appears as if the bodies on falling had
rolled down the steep sides of hill and thus
piled up on one another. The road was
blocked with them, ard The Tennessee Regi-
ment in pursuit rushed over the bodies of
their former friends and acquaintances.
| Two pieces of artillery and all the camp
equipaSe, with many arms, knapsacks, and
other materials, were left by the rebels in
their precipitate flight.
! But the retreat was the most trying ordeal
which the rebels had to undergo. The far
mers, whom for weeks past they had oppress-
ed, aroused by the report of the victory,
gathered along the road to give parting
blow. and from Wildcat to Barboursville the
rebel army run the gauntlet From every
tree and rock upon the roadside the sharp
crack of the farmers rifle greeted them and
sealed a rebels fate. 1t is said the retreat
was one continued fight, in which the poor
devils had no chance whatever. Ambus-
! cades opened their fires upon them from ey-
cry side and quarter, and they felt what it
was to retreat through a hostile country
Like the English who came to suhiugate at
Lexington, Mass, they pushed on in haste,
flying from the storm of bullets that beat in
upon them at every step. They needed not
who fell. They pushed on, each man for
himself, seeking safety in the hills of the
Gap. The bullet of tie famous iife sped on
its mission. The doomed man sank without
murmur. as if exha1sted. His following
fellows stepped over his body and hurried on.
nor stoppcd t. pluck his weapon from his
dying grasp. They lightly sprane over the
fallen body of the steed that but a moment
before, with dilated nostrls, snuffe danger

who had ridden him. The retribution for
our retreat of three months ago had come
On the Dist of the month, three months ago
our men had retreated to Washington: on
the list of the month they had also retreat

The shame of our arms in Virginia had been
wiped out in kea;ucky.

Affairs in New Orleans.

Il letter in New York from on board Uni
ted States steamer r. r. Cuyler, off the
mouth of the Mississippi, Tuesday, Oct. 29th,
says:

81 No Room for Loafers."

These words recently met our eyes as we
passed workshop in this city mo room
for loafers' Sure enough, there is no room
for loafers anywhere in this moving world.
They are not wanted in the busy workshop,
nor in the EDITORS sanctum they are nui-
sance in the country store, splitting and spew
ing about the stove, and at the post office are
in everybody's way. They are forever out
of place-except when in the almshouse or
Jail. A dead weight upon society, they are
hindrance and bore. They form no part
of natures plan it ibhors them Is it does
vacuum. While all the world around them is
going forward, they are standing still, or ra-
ther gliding imperceptibly backward into
seedy vagabondism. A loafer soon grows
rusty. 1t is only use which keeps our facul-
ties bright. and the idle man gets dull, stu
pid, stolid and muddy headed.
Yet some of these fellows seem to think
very well of themselves. You will see them
strutting along the sunny side of the street,
and lounging at corners, hanging about the
doors of the hotels. or the entrance to the the
ater, with fine clothes upon their backs and
a selfsatisied smirk upon their vacant coun-
tenances. The poor creatures look down up
on working man as a being of an inferior
order No doubt the drones affect to despise
tut Dusy DctS-uutli liItN fi cH lIDiu tuc
hive to starve, while the workers feast upon
the honey. A loafer setting himself above
the man who labors with his hands Why,
he is as far beneath him as. in the order of
creation, the sloth is beneath the common
horse. A young mechanic in his working
dress, and with his tools in his hands, is ev-
cry way moro agreeable object than the
best dressed loafer in existence. There is
always room for him. He is never out of
place, for he is keeping step with. the move
ment of the universe. He has a name, a pur-
pose, and he stands for something. His fa-
culties are trained to use, and he is of value
to the world for what he can do. The skill
fnl workman is to the idle man what the
manufactured article is to the raw material.
He has an additional value above that of mere
manhood. The world cannot get on without
him, while it could spare every loafer in it,
and be all the better for their absence.
Reader, whatever you do, don't loaf
