TaI DESTROYED CARs.-As the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company have about two
hundred engines, the recent destruction of
forty at Msrtinsburg will not prevent the full
use of the road by the Government, when pos,
session Of it is obtained. There was therefore
10 military excuse for the destruction st Mar.
tinsburg, which was merely wanton and mali
cous. Such acts will not strengthen the claim
TO ssnctity, set up for slave property, by the
perpetrators Of them.

E0-, The New York Erening Post of Sstu

E1, The New York Erening Post of Sstur.
day evening says:
General Scott has SO skilfully maneuvred
his troops that the two armies have been brought
within drum beat Of each other"
1t cannot be necessary to inform the intelli
gent editors of the Post, that General Scott has
executed no other manauvre" than that oi
massing troops in and about Washington, and
that if "Me tTo armies hase been brought
pithn drum-beat Of each other,' it is not be
cause General Scott has done anything, or left
anything undone, but simply because the Con
federstes have seen fit to concentrate troops in
and about Manassas Junction.
This extract from the New York Erening
Post is q specimen Of that .tarore of adulation
Of General Scott, which has been INDUCED in
by the Northern press, and which has pro,
duced an impression upon Northern public
sentiment, which has left to the Administration
no option in respect to devolving upon General
Scott the military conduct Of affairs.

JEFFERSON NOT THE MAN.-The Charleston
Courier has learned that it was not Jefferson
Davis who ives connected with the reputation
of the States debts of Mississippi, but Reuben
Davis, a member of the Legislature at that
time. We give Jefferson the benefit of the
doubt, though it is suggested from suspicious
quarter. An improbability of the case is, that
Reuben should have lain quiet all this time,
while Jefferson has been carrying off what, in
his latitude, is reckoned the " honor of the
repudisting movement.

TIE New REGIMENTS OF REGULARs.--It is
understood that the new regiments, at least the
nine infantry regiments, are to be organized
upon the French standard, that is to say, each
regiment will have four battalons, each of six
companies, and will accordingly, with the com,
psnies Of the maximum of our service, be two
thousand four hundred strong. The infantry
company in the French service consists of three
officers, captain and two lieutenants,) six ser.
geants (souscDiciers,) eight corporals, two
drummers, and sixtysix privates, or eighty.fve
in all. Each regiment will accordingly require,
when in active service, four majors.

HAYTl.

The unfavorable intellig ence in respect to
affairs in Hayti, recently communicated TO the
public through the New York papers, was, it
seems, manufactured by Spaniard who ar
rived by the Echo. Mr.. Redpath, in card
published in the Boston papers, says:
"The letters received by the Echo, both
from the leading American firm at Port al.
Prince, (Cutts 4 Cooper,) from the Govern.
ment authorities 10 its agents here, from emf.
grants at St. Marks, from the colony which
sailed by the Madeira last month, all and
equally contradict these malicious misstate
ments. The captain Of the Echo denies them.
Mr.. Galloway, the passenger by the Echo, now
in Boston, had Just arrived from st. Mark s
when that vessel called, and left all the emi.
grants contentedly working on their free farms,
not one of them having been impressed into
the Haytian armyj not one having been COM
PEELED to work two days each week, or one hour
a month even, for the Government Of Hayti.
"The Government has not only redeemed
all its pledges, but done far more Tor the emi.
grants than it promised.
"instead Of Port-au.Prince being threaten.
ed with bombardment by the Spanish, there
was not single man of war or other Spanish
vessel in the harbor."
Hayti is looked to with peculiar interest at
this time, as convenient place for the coloni.

NORTHERN SOLDIERS AND SOUTH.
ERN THOROUGH. BREEDS.

About the irst Of May, the Mobile Register
said of the Northern troops: O. ~ Il
They may raise plenty Of men-men who
prefer enlisting 10 starvation, scurvy fellows
from The back slums of cities, whom Falstafl
would not have marched through Coventry
with-but these recruits are not soldiers, least
ofal, the soldiers to meet the hOt-6lood thorough.
bred, impetuous men Of the South. Trencher
soldiers, who enlisted to war on their rations,
not on men, they are such as marched through
Bsltimore-squalid, wretched, ragged, and halt
naked, as the newspapers Of that city report
them. Fellows who do not know the breech Of
a musket from its muzzle, and had rather flch
a handkerchief than fight an enemy in manly
combat. White slaves peddling wretches,
small change knaves, and Migrants, the dregs
and offscourings OF the populace-these are
the levied forces whom Lincoln suddenly
arrays as candidates for the honor Of being
slaughtered by gentlemen-such as Mobile sent
to battle yesterday. Let them come South,
and We will put our negroes TO the dirty work
Of killing them. But they will not come South.
Not wretch Of them will live on this side Of
the border longer than it will take US to reach
the ground and drive them over"
liz much the same vein, 1.-THE Richmond Wing
characterized the Northern troops as "merce'
nary legions of pickpockets, burglars, rowdies,
tape-messurers, and pumpkins, now attempting
to organize themselves into an army"
The sequel has proved the old truth, that
"Me epent of the War does not dlicdys come up
to the sounding phrase Of the manifesto ohich
precedes it,
In six months, these impetuous men Of The
South have attacked nothing except Fort
Sumter, where their force was hundred to
one, and where months ofpreparation had made
the result certain. They have defended nothing,
except under favor Of masked batteries, as at
Great Bethel and Vienna, and under circum.
stances which developed and illustrated the
unshsken vslor Of Northern troops The gene
raj rule Of these /" thoroughbred" has been to
run, and the only emulation has been to see who
could run the fastest. They run at Grafton, al
Philippi, and at Romney, in Western Virginia
In Missouri it has been racing match, since
the 18th of June, between Governor Jackson
and his major-general Price, the two "to
roughbreds" being neck and neck at the last
adyices.

FINANCIAL.-The Chicago Tribune of the
22d instant, in the course Of an article upon
the national finances, says:
The importance of money being shown,
how is Congress to procure the requisite amount
for the vigorous prosecution of fhostilites? Who
can suggest a better method than q patriotic
national loan, backed by the taxation neces.
sary to provide for its interest and ultimate re-
payment This taxation may consist ofdutes
on imported goods-abolishing all free lists;
of stamp taxes on bank notes issued of taxes
on incomes over a certain amount of excise
duties on liquors. and of direct taxes on real
and personal property, 80 distributed as not to
he burdensome on any one thing, and yet in the
aggregate to produce the requisite sum"
T!'s paragraph only reflects the readiness
OF the people to submit TO all forms Of taxation
necessary to sustain the public credit at this
crisis 1t is not the people who are unwilling
to pay taxes, but it is the demagogues who are
afraid to impose them
The Chicago Tribune, as will be seen pro-
poses revival, SO far as the banks are con.
cerned, of the stamp tax imposed under Madi.
son, during the war Of lsl2-l5. There is no
reason why bankers should not be taxed upon
The profitable business of furnishing paper
circulation, ard there are many reasons wby
they should be- and if such taxation cuts of some
Of their small notes, which exclude gold and
silver from the hands of the people, so much
the better.
