We were favored on Saturday with a sight
OF a copy OF the Richmond Weekig Why,
Of August 10th. Il was quite an interest
ing numbsrt to us. There was not q great
deal OF news, TO be sure, for there never
Is any news in a nseeesh1 paper. They
carefully refrain from anything ofthe kind
partly By force OF long acquired habit,
and partly by reason OF the military secresy
which Is In vogue in seeesh land. Some Of
the editorials are nteresting-more so than
news. They are full Of spite and hatred
towards the 'laie United statep-some-
times called the "present Lincoln Govern
ment." There Is not a decent man NOW
outside OF Dixie-e1eept yallandingham,
Ben Wood, editor of the N. Y. Neus, and
proprietor Of q lottery in GeOrgia-and
the editor Of the Dayton Empire, and a few
other such choice spirits-ineluding the

degradation should be pleasing to any of
their W race, can only be solved by re-

The editor of the WAig finds difficulty
in getting words to express his contempt
for the Yankees. He reverts to them in
almost every Paragraph-nO odds what it

continues, that the Yankees arc .just far
enough removed from barbarism to be
conscious OF our superiority, aud to be pain
fully sensitive TO the humiliatiug fact Of
their inferiority. It would be far better
