MORTALITY AMONG WOUNDED PR1sos-
rss.-The Richmond Dispatch Says
The mortality among the Abolition pris.
oners now in Richmond is considerable.
We regret this for two reasons: First.
because each one Of the parties named,
after his release, would have been a liv-
ing, walking testimonial against Lincoln
and hispirate band; second, because the
parties have not bad time to repent Of
their folly aud wickedness, in combining
with others to cut the threats and rob
those whose who could not be provoked
return such conduct, like for like
and lastly. because dying so
soon, they stand a chance Of invading
territory in whose broad limits they are
not likely to meet any Southern men
care for them after they have been
bystheir own friends. as@

such an exalted position. Az a states
man, he is acknowledged inferior to nom

that he will command heavy vote
even If not elected. Being no political

and - such = mao, has " won golden
opinions from al sorts Of people" As
. member Of Provisional Congress, biz
views upon tie wsighty matters Of the
day,have often been sought and entertain

has been apparent in much that has
emanated from that body-a body Of Is

FRoN VIRGINIA.-The Richmond cor
respondent Of the N. O.. Crescent, o.
date 10th inst, writes as follows:
Congfess has authorized the President
to increase the army to 400,0 900 men,
which will be speedily accomplished,
and the Confederate States Government
is IN a situation to maintain and subsist
abundantly that number. We have al
ready 10 the field about 10000 soldiers,
aud every day brings 4 fresh arrival to
Richmond, armed aud ready for imme-
date service. The military feeling of
the country, instead Of waning, grows
more fierce and irrepressible, and the
forthcoming acquisitions of the President
will be 81 promptly met as at first
Maryland and Kentucky are furnishing
access'ons to our ranks daily; squads arc
arriving from those States continually,
who attach themselves to other compan.
ies, aud await the arrival of numbers
sufficient to form q battalion. This pros
cess is going on now with the Kentucky
at Richmond. But a few DAYS
ago, a company of Kentuckians, who
bad been serving with Col. Blanchard,
Of the First Regiment Louisiana Volun-
Ieers at Norfolk, arrived here and Joined
\ battalion of their own citizens, and
will o to Beauregard's camp on Mon
lay next. Maryland is doing the same.
Many Baltimoreans have arrived here

watched by the enemy.

aAFFAB IN new Monk Antelope
tEs wellzaformed NevsYork corresp'onn-.
deot ofthe N. {. P;caynne, writing from
that city, Of date 9Th inst, says:
But there is a consolation in knowing
that mad and destructive as the schemes
of this Congress have been, they cannot
be easily carried out, if at ALL The
troops called for, it is morally certain,
can never be raised except on compui-
sion; and troops thus forced into service
would only be a milestone shout the
necks Of their commanders. Voluntary
enlistment is already a dead failure, and
he who hereafter fights this battle Of
abolitionism must do 80 against his will,
and at the command Of a military des-
pot. ,a.
Again, there is not the ghost Of .
change Of the Government getting any
thing like the amount Of money voted
by its tools in Congress. It had itself
strong doubts Of this when it" gener-
ously "apporti med one hundred millions
to Europe. The. Bull kup guns will,
however, have put a complete extinguish-
or upon any success in that quarter, even
if there ever was the faintest glimmer Of
success, which / much doubt.
At home, too, there is no confidence
whatever in the Government being able
to meet its loans-as the recent revenue
and tax measures Of Cong ss have more
the appearance of = farce than practical |
and CONSTANT legislation. Thus far the
loans have not been offered at all-tbe
meeting it's current expen-
ses BY issuing five and ten dollar sbin-
Treasury notes, 20 called), pay
able on demand, but which it has not
the power to redeem " on demand ~
The result is the Treasury notes, large
aud small, are thrown on tho market by
holders, and sold =. the best rate
they. will command. The .sue Of an r.
redeemab'e Pape. currency is a splendid,
magnificent operation for the Govern
ment and It's hangers on, no doubt, but
i is an operation that, II persisted in,
must in the end result most d~isastrously
all concerned. Were our country
strong in its commerce, and the Govern
nent backed up in It's expenses by sol
d revenue the case would be different.
But as i y not, or even likely to be, the
Inevitable finale must be ruin.
