SS.l
The former postmaster OF Franklin, La,
has arrived in New York, and gives some in
terestlng particulars OF the state OF feeling in
New Orleans. The general belief was that in
the event of an attack, the city would be able
to defend itself against any force that might
be sent against it,-but if the "Lincolnites
were likely to enter it, the confederate gov
eminent would order its destruction by fire.
The principal hotels are nearly all closed.
The ST. Charles was still open, but it had not
boarders enough to pay expenses. 1t was eX-
pected to follow the example of the other
houses in a day or two, There were two
theaters in operation in the early part of DC
tober, but neither would pay and when our in

Of public amusement in the whole city. As 10

statements of other travellers from the same
region Texas beef and corn bread were to
be had in abundance, but most other things
were scarce and dear Bacon was selling at
thirty cents per pound, coffee sixty cents, and
mess pork and beef as high us sixty dollars
per barrel. In the parish OF ST. Mary's, along
the ceast, the inhabitants were kept in a con
slant state of uneasiness by the bockading
squadron. Two large menofwar were rrus-

Berwick Bay was narrowly watched. 1t was

TRAITOROUS ANGEL WOMEN.

It is said three. e.fourths of the women of Wash.
ington are secessionists. We shall not under.
take either to diminish or increase the fraction,
but relate fact or two during q recent and
first visit to the "Old Capitol" where some
prisoners, taken at Bull Run, are confined.
While looking in at the door, carriage drove
up, and two sisters Of slender form, dressed in
deep mourning, alighted and entered the prison,
evidently not 6rst visit. They went to other
apartments than the ante.room, bearers of let.
ters to and from the prisoners. Those Of the
latter class, on being read by the orderly, were
put into their satchels and brought away. In
the meantime another carriage drove up with
ladies, from whom went in packages Of food,
clothing, fans, &c., communications written in
the carriage which they did not leave-smiles
nodded to the prisoners in the second story
windows. Some of the prisoners conversed
with the ladies in the carriage in the deaf and
dumb language. Other females, visitants, were
at the same time inside the prison, and q person
brought note reciting, and accompanied by bed.
clothing from the South. These women, pious
souls, most con6ding Deliahs-.snd it is q natural
and logical inference withsl-never visit the sick
poor Of the hamlet. Mention the starry blue Of
the old flag, that has been the olive branch Of
peace and goodwill to the nations, and heavens
great missionary over all oceans, seas, and in.
lets Of the globe, and these anpiaLle traitors
would curl the lip in derisive, eontemptuous
scorn. Treason is defined by the Constitution
to be "adhering to their enemies, giving them
aid and comfort" Perhaps this phrase cannot
be considered applicable to these times. 1t
must have had reference to Aaron Burr, Bene-
dict Arnold, and such like. But if the Consti.
tuition has any force, then ore these men not
simply prisoners of war. Military rules and
etiquette cannot supervene the Constitution.
They are convicted in the very act, and con.
demned and adjudged by the Constitution, the
supreme law Of the land" and the law conse.
quent thereon demands the inaiction of the
penalty, death by hanging, without benefit of
clergy. If the allegations as to these petticoat
traitors are proved in court, then do they fall
into the same terrible demands of the Constitu.
ton and the Law. 1t is said, also, that Senator
is adhering to these enemies held captive, Civ
ing them aid and comfort. We repeat, no
military usage can come in allegiance Of or
override the Constitution.
Now, look on this picture. After the battle
of Bull Run we desired to 90 and bring away
our dead and wounded this was denied. Four
days after the battle, the stencil was insutferabe
miles around, and some of our wounded we're yet
alive, but dying from putrefaction. Can mortal
pen describe the sufferings of these men for
four long days2 P.

He fred twice OF Col. Cameron, who was in full
officers dress, and at the second shot killed
him. The rebel cavalry was instructed to pass
by our men, but to shoot the officers.
The following information of the battle, the
present strength and desgns of the rebels,
comes to us from an intelligent and trustworthy
person, who had recent opportunity Of seeing
and hearing whereof he sfirps. Beauregard's
force at Bull Run was $1,000, which was in.
creased by 5000 Of Johnston's the day before,
and BY 5000 more during the engagement.
This statement is confirmed from an indepen.
dent and Trustworthy source. Davis did not
assist on the field until late in the afternoon.
The whole number Of troops in. Virginia
does not exceed 10000. Only some 1000 or
5000 of these are at Richmond. Reinforce

the different regiments. We would therefore
call the attention Of the colonels of each 'regi-
ment to the importance ofselecting as carriers
or postmasters for their regiments, men in
whom they have implicit confidence; other
wise, soldiers and officers may be robbed with
out any possible means of detection on the

NUMBER OF THE ENEMY AT THE BAT.
TIE OF July 2l.

We shall not be suspected Of any disposition
to defend the military authorities against any
censure in respect to the battle of July 2l, to
which they are justly amenable, but there is
one charge made against them for which We are
satisfied there is no foundation whatever. We
refer to the charge Of leading our troops against
such overwhelming odds, as is implied in the
statement that the enemy had eighty or ninety
thousand men at the battle Of July 2l. The
military authorities, of course, would be en-.
tirely inexcusable in ordering battle without
knowing, with tolerable accuracy, what the
force of the enemy actually was. We are salts.
fed that they did know, and that there was
nothing in the numbers of the enemy which, Of
itself, indicates rashness in the attack which
was ordered. 1t certainly did not exceed fifty
thousand, even after the addition Of General
Johnston's army. If it had been ninety thou.
sand, the reserves would have been sufficient to
have annihilated our army, after it was thrown
into disorder and retreat.
II the military authorities we're deceived at
all, it was in the fact Of the junction Of General
Johnston with General Beauregard, and even
that is not certain. The reports are, that Gen.
Scott was slow to believe that fact, and there
were good reasons for his incredulty. But il
is much more positively known that General
Mcdowell, and the other general officers in the
field had arrived at the conclusion, before the
battle commenced, that portion, at least, oi
Gen. Johnston's army, had arrived to support
Gen. Besuregsrd.
We failed in the battle, but there was nothing
in the relative numbers to convict our generals
of rashness. If we had succeeded, as we came
pretty near doing, that accusation would never
have been made.

A VIGOROUS WAR.

We find, in the published letter of an Ameri.
can gentleman resident in Paris, the following
very just observations upon the war in this
country:
"The gain or loss by time for preparation is
equal to both sides. The exhaustion Of re.
sources is most rapid on the strongest side,
which has the heaviest expenses and suffers
most from interruption of its affairs. As to the
saving of life, short wars are least destructive.
The great loss of life is not in battle, but in
hospitals. 1t results from exposure, fatigue,
bad fare, imprudence, and irregular life. In
the exeitements Of active campaign, soldiers do
not sicken in the field in any climate whatever; I;
but when excitement subsidies, aud they go
into gu arters, death enters with them, and be-
gins his work. Delay is the policy of the
weaker, and not the stronger side. A pushing
and vigorous policy is most certain Of success,
and least expensive in money and life."
These views are those which have controlled
the President and the Administration from the
first. The immediate future will remove all
doubt on that subject.
1t is dpropos to observe, that the wiseacres
who have supposed it to be possible to starve
out and subdue the rebellion by blockade, must
now be satisfied of their error, if such sort of
people can ever be enlightened by experience.
There is no more abundant food. producing re-
gion on this wide globe than the slave States !;
no region capable of submitting with less loss
to the total exclusion of all foreign trade. If
they have been dependent upon others for manu-
factures, it is only because agriculture has been
their most profitable pursuit. But they can
adapt themselves to the condition of CONNER
cial seclusion, although, Of course, not without
sacrifices.
The suppression of a rebellion does not ad-
NIT of Fabian line Of tactics. Vigor and
promptness are the qualities demanded by the
matter in hand, as is shown by experience,
wherever those qualities have been displayed.

CONFEDERATE FINANCIERING.

At the Southern Bank Convention, holden
at Richmond, on the oath of July, under the
inspiriting influence of the Confederate quasi
victory of July 81, it was resolved to take
Treasury notes in payment of dues, and to ad.
vance money for the use Of the Government
until the Treasury notes could be issued. Res.
olutions were also adopted, approving of the
course of the Confederate Government in vigor.
ously prosecuting the war. The following res.
olutions were also adopted
Resolosd unanimously, That it is the duty
of the banks, capitalists, and property holders
generally, to give the Government all the sup.
port in money and other means demanded by
the war.
"Resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion
of this meeting that the capital resources of
this country are abundantly adequate to sup
ply oil the demands created by the war, and
that this Convention will Gheerfully contribute
its aid to render those resources available to
the people and the Government"
This is going one step further than the last
Southern Bank Convention, holden Give re-
collect aright) at Atlanta, Georgia. and which
voted to receive Treasury notes on deposit and
pay them out as currency. The Richmond
Convention, as will be seen, votes to receive
Treasury notes from their debtors.
We do not know whether the New Orleans
banks, the only ones at the South which have
any real capital, were represented in this Rich
mond Convention, or will concur in its action.
lfthey do, their speedy bankruptcy is, of course,
inevitable. The action Of this Richmond Con.
venton can result in nothing, but the conver.
sion of all the assets of the banks into Trea.
sury notes, which will be utterly worthless, as
soon as the bubble of the jeff. Davis govern.
ment is pricked.
But without reference to the ultimate effects
of these measures upon the banks, the imme.
diate effect will be to give such circulation to

retary of War accepted yesterday three regi.
ments Of cavalry, viz: Col. Young's Kentucky
cavalry; Col. McReynold's Lincoln cavalry !;
and Col. Warren's Western cavalry.
Col. Young's regiment is to consist of twelve
hundred men, and to be ready for service in
twenty days. The officers assigned to it are
Col. William h. Young, Of Kentucky; Lieut..
COL 8. W. Owen, of the Presidents Mounted
Guard of this city, who rendered the Gov.
eminent valuable service in the late three
months campaign; and Major Ernest M.

~An enterprising gentleman at Franklin,
Ky, who rejoices in the name of "B. White.
sides," has pleasant little scheme of assisting
in the transmission of letters to the seeded
States. His card, which we have, reads in
this wise
"Private Letter Maa.-Direct each letter to
your correspondent as usual, envelope that
with 10 cents in money, and direct to B. White
sides, Franklin, KY
Letters exceeding half an ounce or going
over 500 miles must have additional amount
enclosed.
"For single newspapers enclose 10 cents"
As the Confederate letter postage is FIVE cents
only, our friend Whitesdes pockets ten for his
trouble, if he chooses to forward the letters
sent to him. If he throws the letters into the
fire, he pockets the fifteen, intact. The first
operation is good one. The last is positively
brilliant.
The MAINE SEooND.-The Maine regiment
which returned home the other day, was the
first, Col. Jackson, and not the second, Col.
Jameson, as enormously stated by our neigh.
bors Of the lnteligencer. The second regi.
ment is enlisted for the war.
Col. Jameisons regiment although not ex-
hibiting more bravery than several others in
the battle of July 2l, inflicted more damage
upon the enemy. 1t was Col. Jameison's regi.
meut which had the conflict with Georgia
regiment, in which the latter was reported on
the other side to be annihilated" A Connec
ticut colonel who witnessed it, says that the
FIRE of the Maine second, on this occasion, was
most deadly. The same regiment routed a
regiment of South Carolina, in style which
was pronounced to be most admirable, by an
officer ofthe United States army who saw it.
There is not a more effective body of men in
the service. They are now veterans and if
new opportunities for distinction are offered,
they will maintain and increase the honors
which they have already achieved.
