Our people are often bothered with the names of foreigners. Not so much with the spelling and pronunciation, as the fact that members of the me family have different names. Thus, we find the following paragraph in the San An tonic, Texas, Herald:

Sometime ago it was stated that Kit Carson sided with the North and had raised company for the war. On the other hand, correspond ent of the Charleston Courier says that Kit is with the South that he holds Fremont in su- preme contempt; that he first applied to him the title of the charlatan of the plains; that he is native of Missouri and goes heart and soul with his native State, and that he is among the Utah8 and Kowahs, over whom he has great in auence and who will give the Kansas abolition i3ts trouble yet.

They had about thirteen hundred sewing wo- men at St. Louis, in the employ of the Lincoln government. Fearing there were some rebels among them, they administered the oath of al legiance to them, or to all except about fifty, who refused to take it. Is it not pitiable that the tyrant makes the poor needle women take an oath to support him before he will give them work? Of course, the fifty who refused were discharged. Denounced and turned out to beg or starve, these white women must suffer hunger for their evidence of spirit. And yet these wretches talk of negro slavery while degrading white women.

A New York paper says that the numb CT of paupers in the prisons, infrmaries and hospitals of that city is, at least, 8,0OO. By January they will reach 20, GOO. One reason why the num- Der is not larger is that all prisoners who would volunteer have been released, and all men capa- be of bearing arms have been denied relief, in order to drive them into the army.

The Charleston Courier urges upon the peo- pie of the South that they dispense with the use of all civic prefixes to names ortitles after them. Hon. and " Esquire" are to be pretermitted.

Some confusion has already risen from the similarity of names in the two armies There are two or three General Andersons, two Smiths, and in Missouri two General Prices. Gen. Thos. L. Price is Fremont's right bower, and commands the federal forces in Fremont $ absence. Major General Sterling Price com mands the Missouri sons of liberty. To those
 who wish to keep the run of events in Missouri, it may be we'll to bear this distinction in mind.

We took occasion to say that the value of the property in Arkansas, which would enure to the Confederacy under the provisions ol the Se- ouestration act would reach million of dollars. This was our estimate of the value of the real es- tate. We did not intend to include amounts of debts due from citizens of Arkansas to those of Lincolndom. These and personal property will swell the amount greatly.
