THE TEMPER OF THE REGULAR ARMY.

In recent letter of Mr.. Russell, the crr.
of the London Times, we observe
the following paragraph:
"The officers of the regular army, however
much they may love the Union, do not, es
body, love the present Government. On the
contrary, they regard the greater number 0f1he
Cabinet with aversion, and detest their prin
ciples 1t Is hard for men to fight for caus'
with good heart and at the same time hold IN
contempt those who have that cause In hand a

aud one from New York, and 1t was remark d

Mr.. Lincoln"
Mr.. Russell has bad very good opportunit1s
to discover the temper of the officers OF the
regular army, with whom he has been in very
intimate social relations, and who would b.
more likely to talk freely with him than with
American citizens. He has, however, discover
ed nothing which was not before tolerably wei
known.

The RUINS OF HAMPToN.-A correspondent

recklessness will reach in due time our Massa-
chusetts homes. Cruel, wanton was the de
struction by Magruders men of this once
thriving and beautiful village, but the deed
was done, and those SCARED timbers were
silent, and many homeless wanderers are elo-
quent witnesses of the atrooious character Of
this rebellion.
Some of the half melted or burned articles
taken from these ruins look singularly like
antiques from Ilerculaneum or POmpeii.

this relic, some odd half melted coins and
books, Gone more than century old,) Ishavt
