Condition of Things at Richmond.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
We were called upon yesterday by Mr..
j. ". Packard, needle manufacturer from
North Brdgewater, Massachusetts,, on his
way home from business visit to Rich
mond, Virginia. From him we CLEAN the
following facts, showing the actual cOndi.
ton OF affairs in that city.
He says there are now about forty thou.
sand Confederate soldiers in Richmond tul
ly two thirds OF whom are now suffering
from measles, smallpox and levers Incident
to camp life. The troops are poorly clad,
having no coats, and but few shoes. There
is but one regiment in the city that has a
full supply OF blankets, and they are 0!
poor quality.
Flour and corn meal they are well sup.
piled with, they have DO hams or shoulders.
but there is limited supply of side bacon,
which sells at from thirty to forty cents per
pound. Sugar sells at from twenty to
forty five cents per pound tea from eighty
cents to one dollar bar pound, and very poor
in quality at that. Coffee from forty to
fifty cents per pound but butter is a luxury

manifested at it. No one will take it but at
heavy discount, and the loss fails heavily or
those who have to purchase almost every
thing they need. They are consoled however
by the daily promises of commanders to

great military hospital, as far as sickness is
concerned: but there it ends, for nurses and
physicians are both scarce. The city is

repulse. If be is not master of the south
bank of the Potomac from HarperS Ferry
to Fort Monroe, he has collected marine
force sufficient to render the passage OF the
river almost impossible. The physique and
morale OF the new leyies are such as to sat-
isty even the experienced eye OF Mr.. Rus
SELL The maritime superiority OF the
Federalists IS also now becoming practically
manifest. TIE hardy seamen OF the New Eng-
land seaboard are entering for service on
board the gunbOats built with marvellous
celebrity in the dock-yards OF Maine and
Massachusetts. A navai expedition OF four
thousand men and one hundred guns has
left Old Point, probably for the coast OF
\ Orth Carolina. On the southwest, the
banks OF the Mississippi are likely 10 witness
the advance OF an overland expedition
against New Orleans. Gen. Fremont is
said TO have been charged with the conduct
OF this bod enterprise. and 10 have no
scrup!e with regard Ia the acceptance of
negro auXiiiares. The very latest news,
telegraphed to the steamer at Farther Point,
indicates the resolution Of the government
to act upon the famous decision OF Congress
to which the President so reluctantly
assented. Martial law is proclaimed in
Missouri, and freedom promised to the slaves
OF insurrectlOnists. Thus the weakest place
in Mr.. Lncoln's policy has been converted
into strong tete du p0nt. The world will
be assured OF the tendency of the war, what
ever doubt may still rest upon its origin.

Neither to she Right Hand nor the
Left,

There were many admirable points in
the speech delivered last evening by Daniel
5. Dickinson, at the Union meeting in the
Cooper Institute. There were none more
admirable than the reso!ute purpose which
he manifested to be turued aside neither to
the right hand nor the left from the plain
and single question of the Union. Gentle
men sent up notes to him asking, "what
have you to say of abolitionists ~ Moth
ing" replied the patriotic statesman, "save
the words of the Saviour of the world,
Let the dead bury their dead"
A voice cried out from the crowd, "W hat

with any of these little questions, these
sde-issues. They are simply unfortunate
rippes in the current that is moving on to
sweep the rebellion from the face of the
earth. My errand is to urge my fellow
citizens to put it down so that it will stay
there and then we will attend to all those
political questions, real, personal, and mixed
laughter about the genuine democracy
and spurious democracy, Republicanism,
Americanism, abolitionism, and a IL other
isms."
When few Kisses arose in the assembly
upon his Incidental mention of the course of
Great Britain toward this country, he paid
them not even the attention of pause, but
passed straight on with the consider alton of
the subject which was vital to the occasion.

Pretty Well Done

From the omaha Cry Nebra skiar
The $50, 900 which came up in the hands
OF the United States Express, or the southern
stage, Tuesday night, of which we spoke
yesterday, did not come from Elwood. as we
at first supposed, out direct from ST Joseph.
The manner in which the agents of the ex-
press company managed to get il away.
rejects great credit upon them and deserves
mention. The treasure was locked I'D IN
the safe in the express Office and guarded BY
the agent, when, the other day, party Of
rebels came with large plank and broke
down the door Of the store next to the eX,
press Office and helped themselves to what
they wished, and then came into the express
Office. looked around little and went away
Al the exhibition they had been favored
with OF the peculiar disposition OF the rebels
the express agent and the messengers became
Justly alarmed for the safety OF the treasure
10 their hands, and resolved to make !. bold
strike and attempt 10 take it from the city.
From the cellar, an old trunk, without a
lock, and covered with mold. CObwebs and
dust, was brought forth. From the Old
clothes inside, one of the messengers quickly
selected a suit more compatible with the
appearance OF the trunk than the one he
usually wore. The treasure was then packed
snugIy inside and an old piece OF rope tied
careiessIy around it, supplied the place Of
the lock, and held the lid securely down.
Hurrying down street as fast as his clum-
sy boots would let him, our messenger,
disguised eff.ctualy as an anxious clodh0p
per, secured a drayman, and telling him
that times were getting rather hot in St.
Joseph, and DE had concluded to go 10 FL
wood, and that be had some baggage at
the express Office he would like to have
taken over. The drayman went with him,
and after little parleying and begging the
express agent to let the trunk go without
the payment OF a small charge alleged to
be upon it. and while the back OF the
owner was turned, made fun to the drayman
OF his appearance and OF his trunk, aud
finally helped the owner load it, putting of
the drayman, who was anxious to hep.
with Never mind, it's no. trouble"
Walking down the middle of the street
behind The dray, our disguised messenger
soon reached the river, and in few minutes
more was safely in Elwood. And thus
$4,000 in gold, hard gold, passed under
the eyes OF the rebels at st. Joseph. Joined
by another messenger, equally rough in APP.
pearance team was hired to bring them
TO Nebraska City, and from thence by
stage they came to Omaha, bringing the
same old trunk, with its load of treasure,
strapped on behind as if it contained moth
ing but Old clothes.

The Real Attitude of the En- glish Gov
eminent:

From the London Star.
We are glad to be able to contradict, in
the most positive manner, the alarming
statement made by one of the New York
journals, and repeated by some correspond
ents of English newspapers The statement
was to the effect that Mr.. Adams, the United
States Minister to this country, had written
home, expressing his belief that the English
government regarded the recognition OF
Southern independence as military and
political necessity, and delayed that recOg-
milton only from motives of prudence and
courtesy. We are assured that Mr.. Adams
has made no such communication to his
government, and could not, from the tone OF
his interviews with members of the British
Cabinet. If it were otherwise-if the United
States Minister had felt it his duty to pre-
pare Lincoln for the alliance of Great Britain
with the Shareholders rebeIlOn-it would be
a matter of more concern to US than to the
United States. For neither 10 a military
nor political point of view would such
step be less impolitic than taithless. The
war is just beginning, and all the antece-
dents OF the northern race justify the belief
that their first attempt would be the
least successful. They have encountered
one signal disaster, and have set about re-
pairilg it with the patient vigor of men
who can afford to make sure their next adj
vance at any expenditure of labor and mon
ey. With the digni6ed humility that it is
not above learning from defeat and danger,
they have thoroughly fortified their own
capital before making another attempt upon
the enemy's. They have made of Washing
ton an arsenal and depot, as well as
fortress They have at the present time
collected there an immense store of guns,
with so many horses as to suggest to our
special correspondent that Gen. Mcclellan
means to win the campaign with field ar
tllery. If the new commander has not
under his orders much larger army than
his predecessor, he has brought it into ID
initely better condition. He has certainly
checked the approaches of Beauregard to
the lines before Alexandria, and could
probably infict upon sssailants severe

Letter from General Fremont:

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.-The following will
appear in the Democrat to morrow .Just
before leaving the city, General Fremont
wrote a letter to a friend in New York.
We have succeeded in getting copy, which
as it relates to public affairs, it possesses at
this time peculiar interest, We commit nc
improperly in laying it before our readers
ST. LOUIS, Sept. %.
Ny DEAR SIR: | leave at eight o'clock
in the morning and send you this hurried
note 10 the midst of the last arrangements
before starting. We have to contend with
an enemy having no forts to garrison, and
no lines of transportation to defend or guard;
whose force can be turned at will at any
point, while we have from LeavenwOrth to
Cairo and from Fort Scott to Paducah to
keep protected. | wish to say to you that
though the position is difficult, am com.
petent to meet it and the enemy in the field,
but am not able at the same time to attend
to the. enemy at home. 1t is a shame to
the country that an officer going to the field,
with his life in bis hand, solely actuated by
the desire to serve bis country and win for
himself its good opinion, with no other OBJ.
ject, should be destroyed by a system Of
concerted attacks utterly without founda-
ton. Charges are spoken of when there
are DO charges Explanations, when there
are none to be made. " hat is the object
of the repetition of these false hoods, except
to familiarize the public mind to the idea
that something is wrong. Already our credit,
which was good is shaken in consequence
of the intimation of my being removed.
Money is now demanded by those furnishing
supplies. To defend myself now would re.
quire the time that is necessary to and be-
longs to my duty against the enemy. If
permitted by the country, this state of things
will not fail to bring on disasters. But |
never would have been attacked in my Ca
pacity as an individual. am an exponent
of part of the force of the nation directed
against the enemy of the country. Everything
that is directed against me is directed against
it, and gives its enemies aid and comfort
My private character comes in only incl
dentally. | defend it because naturally his
reputation is dear to any man, but only in
cidentaly. This is the foundation of many
Q. M acts, and will be if stay here.
Every hing tina. h.:,s. ;mpedes or embar-
raises the work intrusted to me, strike at
without hesitation | take the consequences.
The worst that can happen to me is relief
from great labor. Yours truly,

times upon the people. mere are Sollc
statements calculated to mislead in respect
to Lord Lyons interference in procuring
the discharge of British subjects from the
United States army. His LorGship has
only applied for and procured discharges in
the case of few young men under age,
whose parents or guardians desired their
release from military service. The numer
Gus demands made by Irish, Scotch and
English to be freed from obligations they
had contracted OF their own free will have
not been attended to when they were men
of mature age, nor, indeed could they well
be successful.
THE SLAVERY ISSUE.
Ami the contending cries of the multi
tude, it is now scarcely possible to ascertain
how far this is war against slavery or a
war for the maintenance of high protective
duties, but it is obvious that if the war
goes on it will be narrowed to the former
issue, and that the Republicans, who now
repudate the notion of declaring all slaves
free, while in the same breath they express
their belief that the question must come to
that end. will be obliged to do that as a
party which as yet has been done only by
the individual men, and hang out the un-
conditional abolition banner fully and fairly
in the air. If they would kill slavery as
foreign trade, however, let them at the same
time alter the policy of their rules in refer
ence to the right of search.
1t is not without reason that the Ameri-
cans complain of England dealing so ten
derby with Spain in reference to the slave
trade !; but, after all, it is from New Y ork
and Boston that most OF the vessels en-
plOyed in that trade sail for the coast. Yes
sells captured by the American squadron
sent home, condemned and sold, are bought
up and sent ont again to their old bust
ness. 1t would be much better to burn
or sink them. The Storm King, Triton,
Falmouth, Virginia, Ardennes, and other
we'll known vessels now on the coast have
been even sold as savers, and bought up
again, and it is ascertaned that vessels with
proper cargoes will not hesitate to throw
them overheard for cargo of slaves. Much
of the impunity with which these audacious
traders in flesh and blood carry on the busi-
ness arises from the persistency with which
the United States Government has resisted
the right of search. On the approach of
British man of war the SLAYER hoists the
American colors, and goes on her way in
tact ; if an American man of war comes 10
sight the SLAYER hoists British or French
flag, and escapes with equal ease. 1t has
been suggested in one American Journal
that the right of search should be allowed
on the African coast, and there appers DO
objection to it; at all events, it is quite
certain from what | read here of slavers ar
irving at Havana and other ports and fitting
out for the trade, that the result of our enor.
nous expenditure is only to enhance the
profits of the dealer and of the savages on
the African coasts. Without co operation
our labor is vain. Spain has exhibited
disregard of her plighted faith which has
been tolerated by England for reasons im-
possible to divine.

The Treasury NOtes---Second INSTALL
memt-- Public Confidence in the
Loan.

From TIE New Yock Express, 18Th.
\ meeting of the Associated Banks OF
New York, Boston and Philadelphia viii
be held to-day IL relation to the $40, 00O-
600 loan to be accepted on the lst October
That it will Dc taken there is no doubt, as
the Banks have no alternative. The Sec
rotary Of the Treasury has informed the
sub committee who visited WASHINGTON
that his expenditures are now 81 200 ,000
per day, or twenty per cent. above the
amount expected TO have been met by the
Sl5O000.000 loan. He therefore requires
MS money as fast as be can OBTAIN il, and
from his increased wants, proceeds the
suggestion, that the banks shall ioregO the
privilege OF paying in the two year notes,
upon the second fifty millions, thus helping
the Secretary OF the Treasury to the extent
OF the notes thus withheld.
AS the banks hold very fe" OF these
notes, a disposition was shown 10 some
quarters to accommodate the Secretary
which was proper enough: but an impression
is general in the street that quite ali amount
OF notes held by banks and others having
this early information, were thrown upon
the market here and in PHILADELPHIA OF
Monday and Tuesday at 3sa1a per cent.
above current rates, aud that the street had
been saddled with notes by parties having
exclusive news.
Sharp practice of this nature must put
all treasury notes into di: favor, and it vii
not be hard task by the banks and the
Secretary Of the Treasury,t to cool material
ly the popular feeling in favor of the na-
n no Il,
ties in any form, the public will hold of
to obtain 7.3O per cents at discount.
The public has been educated into the be-
lief that holders OF two year notes could.
after October 10th, renew them at 7.30 per
cent, a belief that cannot be destroyed
without impairing public confidence. AS
these notes are the only ones that can be
used at the Custom House, st is not prob.
able that any serious amount could be re-
newed, but would be held as the sixty day
notes have been. as the means OF employing
idle money, and especially money for custom
dues.
The course of the Treasury Department
is very plain, and that is, to adhere to the
late contract, and the laws as passed by
Congress. The Secretary has the power to
issue, and the people have the inclination
to use all the demand notes, and they should
be issued at ouce to supply the 100000 OF
extra expenditure he is making, in this mode
practically furnishing, without interest, this
surplus money.
Compliance by the banks with the recent
contract, is all that is then required to give
him the money he needs, and as fast as need
ed--as the public is now educated into the
whole scheme. If the financial plan is al
tered in any mode, there will be pause in
the subscriptions, which may not be conye-
nlent to the banks.
