A Baltimore letter in the Philadelphia In
quirer has the following new. from Rich
mond -
II am told on good authority, that mer-
chant in this city has received a late letter
from his correspondent in Richmond, which
Significantly indicates that the people Of that
city are heartily sick, not only Of secession
and its sorrowiul fruits, but of the war. It
Is also asserted if President Davis and his ar
my DO not meet with greater success than
they did at Bull Run and Manassas, a coun-
ter feeling will manifest itself among the
people by no means encouraging to the rebel
President and the cause be has espoused.-
The slaughter OF the Confederates is repre-
scented as terrible--much greater than init
mated by accounts in the newspapers.
The truth regarding the killed and woun-
ded is suppressed as far as there is any po--
sibility of doing so When the whole story
of Manassas IS told, if ever, it will prove as
founding Great distress prevails among the
Southern troops. They are NOT only desti-
tute Of comforts but Of the absolute necessl-
ties Of subsistence, Clothes, shoes, fool, war
munitions, all are Iamentab'y scarce. as is
money also"

Federal Troops Rodbing Vs,-
ginia Bank.-The following says an
Exchange, from the Wheeling In
telligencer, Black Republican paper.
gives tho details Of another feat Of
the brave Lincoln army. The achieve
ment has been briefly noted by tele-
graph. The robbery was committed
in the name of the State Of Virginia,
through the bogus Governor Of the
Panhandle" and his isconvenient tools.
If the Wheeling paper reports the
facts i'll the case, it is the most infa-
nous transaction We have yet heard
of:
Capt. John List returned to this
city last evening, having in his charge
twenty-seven thousand dollars IN
gold, taken from the bank at Wes-
ton, Virginia, where it had been
placed to the credit of the Western
Lunatic Asylum by the State au-
thorities, Capt. List was commission
ed by Gov. Pierpont to go and take
charge Of this money, the work on
the Asylum having been stopped,
and there being reasonable apprehen-
sion that the gold might fall into the
hands of Letcher's Government
The Captain proceeded to Grafton,
and upon making known his obj ject
to Gen. Mcclellan, in less than twen-
tv-tour hours regiment OF men, un-
der Col. Tyler, We're on the march.
The expedition left Clark sburg on
Sunday evening, md marching all
night reached Weston on Monday
morning, about 3 o'clock. The peo-
pie were all asleep, but the fine band
which accompanied the expedition
aroused the drowsy population by
playing the Star Spangled Banner.
Col. Tyler took possession of the
place, and Capt. List went down and
demanded the money in the name of
the State of Virginia. No resistance
was made, and the money was torked
over. Some of the bank men thought
the amount ought to have been ta-
ken IN currency, but Capt. List said
he didn't think 80, and that was all
Of it.
The troops captured ssme twenty
odd prisoners. all of whom were re-
leased upon examination. except the
following who were brought up to
Grafton and placed under guard
James T. jackson. Geo. j. Butcher,
w. L. Lively, John kearns, Jr.,
and J. Shumat. Against these there
are especial charges. y guard of six
men accompanied the money to this
city, and last night it was safely de-
posted IN the Northwestern Bank,
and will be used by those to whom
it truly bcIongs-the tree State Gov
ernment.

Secretary Cameron Bagsthe Spoi's.
The following from the New York
Herald of the goth ul:, shows that
Lincoln's Secretary Of War is not to
be foiled in his control of such a
lucrative place as the monopoly OF.
selling goods to an army Of perhaps
a halt million of men. He has bag
ged the whole game
The difficulty about the appoint
ment Of certain army suffers has oc
casioned change in the mode OF their
appointments Hitherto they have
been appointed by what is dcnomina-
4 Council Of Administration, compo-
sed of the commanding officer and
the three officers next in rank Of any
part Of 3 regiment for which the
sutler was to be selected. BY an or
der of the War Department these APP
pointments Will hereafter be made by
the Secretary of War. The posi-
ton OF sutier is lucrative one. It
gives Il monopoly i'll the way of sell
ing goods, and the pay is assumed
by the army regulations to the ex-
tent of the pay Of each officer or man
indebted to the sutler. The profits
are estimated by experienced army
officers at one thousand dollars per
annum per company in the field, and
as the new regiments to be raised
will number each over twenty-three
hundred men, the post Of sutler to
one Of these regiments is one of the
most lucrative otficies in the gift of
the government.
Considerable dissatisfaction has
been expressed at the assumption by
the Secretary of War of this exten-
sive patronage-hitherto controlled
by the officers of the army themselves.
AS they are to depend in a great
measure upon the honesty and clever
ness Of the sutler for the comfort and
accommodation of themselves and
the soldiers under their command,
they believe they ought to be allow
ed to retain the privilege Of selecting
the person who is to furnish the ex-
ira supplies that are usually procur-
ed of the sutler. They resent this
innovation with much warmth, and
insist that it will prove a serious de-
triment to the service.

that Virginia was the eight States Of
