BD- Gen. Pillow has addressed letter
to the people of Memphis, apprising them
that the families of soldiers are appealing
to husbands and fathers, in the army, for
the means of support denied them by the
authorities at home. The General further
says that he will not refuse leave Of alb
sence to soldiers whose families are thus
neglected, however much it may weaken
his army. Could not this crying evil be
remedied by letting out contracts for the
support of soldiers families to the blood
suckers who are specializing upon the hun
ger of women and children? Under this
arrangement, their cries for bread would
soon be hushed by the hand of death =
the contractors would starve them for the
profit to be made by the operation, and
console themselves by the reflection that
the fewer the dependents, the richer the
Government.

HA. The N. Y. Tribune, in a late arti-
Gle On Fremont's prospects in the West,
speaks lightly of the abilities of Jessie $
husband, and seems to anticipate his de-
feat. But, as if to break the fall of the
"hero without battle, the Tribune dis
closes some facts of interest to the South,
and calculated to disabuse the Southern
mind of the impression that the North is
lavishly furnished with arms. On this
point it says "We know, however, that
che has at no moment been able to arm or
"equip the volunteers pressing to his
STANDARD that he left at st. Louis, when
che went up the river, last Friday, whole
Regiments for which he had no weapons,
'while Regiment of Cavalry lately drew
cup before him with but single saddle
"and never a belt or scabbard." Such O
confession from man who has so often
magnifed the preparations and resources
of the North at the expense of his veraci.
ty, coufrms the opinion we have en-.
tertained, that the South is as we'll armed
as the North And if his statement be
true of the Federal forces in Missouri
so much longer in the feld-we may just
ly infer that the Lincoln army in Ken
lucky is equally destitute of arms.

aAI- 1t is suggested by many Southern
journals, that the vote for President and
Vice President should be as large as posi-
bic in order to satisfy the North that there
is no Union sentiment here. We would

but would not turn on our heel to disabusC
the North of any false impression, except
by thrashing it out of the scoundrels.

rsS~In glancing over the columns of the
New York Times, Of the 18th, we saw, in
one place, an account Of great German
meeting to take into consideration the best
means for pressing on the war; in anoth-
ef, a labored argument in favor of the alb
clifton of slavery, seasoned with stories of
its cruelties and its crimes, and in still an
other picture of poverty and crime
amongst the youth of that city that might
well divert the attention for time at least,
of the Northern noralst and philanthro-
pist from the institutions of the South to
the deep degradation of their own white
population. The opening paragraph of
the Times, upon this subject, is in these
words
The Police are remarking during this time of
war and national disturbances a sensible Increase
ia the crime and poverty Of children. 1t report
ed that in the Fifteenth Ward, in the Ninth and
Sixth, many very young girls are seen about the
streets who has already begun to resort TO criminal
practices for support Many are arrested and taken
House of Refuge, and the most released again.
They are either working girls who cannot now get
employment, or they are the children of aboring
people who no longer feed and cothe them.
This restitution and crime, be it remem-
bered, is not confined to the wards above
mentioned, nor to the city of New York !;
and if their increase is so alarming at this
early stage of the war, and before winter
has set in, what must be the extent of
crime and poverty ere it closes a? And yet
the authors of all this mischief look COM
placently upon the mass of suffering pow
erty and youthful depravity in their very
midst-consoling themselves that it is all
the legitimate result of pious effort to
emancipate people whose lot is bliss com
pared with the condition of the degraded
millions of the North And such is Nor.
thern piety and humanity! The one, the
basest hypocricy-the other, the most
heartless cruelty. But the day is not dis
tant when the down -trodden multitude will
discover that they are the victims of a mad
fanaticism, and that their prosperity rights,
liberties-nay their daily bread, is the
price to be paid for the abolition of slavery
And when that day does come, a dire ven
geanee will be visited upon the anti-slavery
crusaders. The beggared parents and
prostituted daughters and vagabond sons
whom this CRUEL war has first ruined and
then cast adrift upon the troubled waters
of social dis,ord, will rise up in all the
strength of maddened desperation and
wreak upon the guilty authors of their
nisforsunes vengeance as sure as it is
merited. The Times sheds crocodile tears
over the misfortunes which he views as the
necessary concomitants of war, and begs
the city authorities to gather up the un-
happy wrecks of a tyrant's madness and
folly, and so dispose of them that society
may receive the least possible injury from
the shock of inevitable contact
