L 70 The New York Tribune Of Friday says:
ave print this morning from source that %,
pear entirely trustworthy, . statement Of the
number of the rebel killed and wounded At
Bull Run. From this we learn that six hun.
dred were killed and three thousand woun-
ded. At twelve NJ. on the day OF the battle,
the rebels had made all their prepaFations for
retreat. We have also distinct statement.
that they did actually fire into the windows of
building used as a hospital; this, too, lin spite
ofintell:sibse signals made 70 them by the sur
geons. From this source and from other quar-
tiers, We moreover learn much about the man
ner in which the rebels treat the national pris-
oners." 10y
" The planters are getting uneasy about
the cotton and sugar they have sold to the
Confederate Government. and to alIay their
anxiety the Richmond Examiner tells them
that the Congress will pass a relief measure,
seeing that there is no prospect of disposing of
the staples. fT SOS eal. Vs..
70 Gen S. l.. Williams, an old gentleman
living a mile from Mount Sterling, (Ky.,j
came to the Union camp on Wednesday week
and enrolled his name as Union volunteer in
company being raised. He is seventy-two
years old. He says he has not long to hive any
how; that he has strength enough to pull trig-
ger; and that il he should be killed, it was con-
ISOLATION enough for him to think that the bullet
he received took but little Of his time, while.
perhaps. it saved the life of some young man,
who could be of more value to his country.
T Washington letters say that the perfec-
ton of the organization of the army by Gener-
al Mcclellan, since the Bull Run affair, attracts
the attention of every military man who visits
the city. The Improvements in cavalry and ar
tillery are wonderful. His ballooning arrange.
m ents, too, will eclipse anything of the sort
ever recorded in military history.
p SAILING on GOLDEN SEA"-Our lake
craft at present are coming nearer the poetical
idea of "sailing on golden sea" than probably
ever before. A vessel capable of carrying 90
600 bushels of corn to Buffalo, gets the neat
little sum of $500 for the job, no matter if it
is only worth $1,000, hull and rigging. Nine
teen cents bnshel for carrying corn to Buffalo,
while the farmer who prepares the ground,
plants, plows, gathers and prepares it for
market, gets only to I0c. per bushel!-Chieago
