SoMErHISe RoYES IN RIcHNosD.-
The Baltimore american says: A
letter from Louisville states that James
Hewett. ESQ.,. Of the firm Of Hevett,
Norton, d Co., Liverpool. New YORK,
and New Orleans, has lately arrived
from Richmond, and is authority ior
the following strange statement. nov
rdmprsd extensively about the city,
Since the battle Of Manassas, the ut
most demoralization and disorganiza-
ton among the army. and financial dis
tress among the people generally. have
existed. The city was filed with men
and women from the more distant
States, hunting information OF rela-
tives-information which, owing to the
secrecy maintained by the Government.
they could not obtain. No report OF
tie killed and wounded has been made
up. nor was it likely that any ever
would be. The greatest distress pre-
vailed, and comalaints were loud, deep,
and earnest. Soldiers were demanding
their release and their pay, refusing to
fight again. aud Expressing their deter
mination to return home. There was
no money in the city, except current
notes of the State banks. coin, especial
ly British being a particularly scarce
article. To these murmurings Of the
mob Of Richmond City there were add
ed other murmurs not so loud nor so
insolent, but murmurs distinctly utter
ed and distinctly heard. that were COM
ing up from every part Of the Confed-
erscy, complaining Of the existing state
of affairs. These complaints, and the
financial troubles Of the Government,
were having their effect, and learning
OF scheme it had on hand. Mr.. Hewett
telegraphed to Richard Atkinson, OF this
city, his agent, to write by the first
steamer to the house in Liverpool to
sell all the cotton on hand at existing
rates as soon as possible. Mr.. Hewett
has since reached this city, and his
agent has been hurriedly dispatched to
New York. The plan Of the Confede-
rate Government, which had such an
effect on Mr.. Hewett. was that of recon-
slruction. A proposition is to be made
in a few days to the United States
Government fer an armistice OF sixty
days. during which time 1t is proposed
TO hold convention at Louisville, KY,
for the purpose Of reconstructing the
Union.

~ The war chiefs of the C. s. A.
have refused to publish any statement
of their loss at Manassas. Every pos
sible means have been used to keep the
public from a knowledge of the num-
Der killed. Their loss must have been
heavy, else why this secrecy? Re-
naming in possession of the field, and
arresting all from the North, who came
even with flags of truce, they had
ample time to bury their dead, and re-
move the wounded. The Southern pa
pers urge their people, not to wear
mourning for lost relatives as it gives
the streets and churches gloomy ap-
pearance.

sippi, in July. 1860, leaving no wife or
children, and having real and personal
estate supposed to be worth 100000.

his will stating that be had made a
memorandum on the back Of his will
setting forth the share he intended the
daughters of Mrs. Mary B. Anderson,
half sister, to haYe, and affirming it

this latitude, and to it, we call the at

lipolis uncommon efforts are being
made by certain psrties-and by some

money, on account Of its cheapness.
We are glad to know that they have
refused the filthy lying sheet room on
their counters, and prefer losing the
dollar paid the "agent," to countenanc-
ing such secession sheet.
We hope the q. s. Attorney for the
Southern District of Ohio, will at the
meeting of the court in Cincinnati, take
measures to suppress all such organs OF
treason, whether published in the dis
trict, or brought into it BY the efforts
of the K. G. C. to corrupt and "poison
the fountains of public opinion and to
destroy the Government"

county, a party composed chiefly Of
Tennesseans who had been driven from
that State for loyalty to the Union,
arrested them and seized their horses.
We understand that the danger OF such
an enterprise was well known to the
young gentlemen before they left that
city, and they vowed their purpose not
10 be taken; but they were taken, and
no blood spilled. The act Of Congress
forfeits these horses, one-half to the
use Of the parties giving information,
and the other half TO the United States.
