Slavery q Source OF Strength 90 tho
SeceaDlOnintH,

Whether slavery is u source Of strength or
weakness to country engaged in war, 10 Q
question that was much discussed at the begin
ming Of our great rebellion. Whatever differ
ence Of opinion there formerly existed on the
subject, we presume that most men are now
agreed that slavery has been source Of strength
10 the SebeIs. Il has furnished them with good
laborers, upon whose productions the South has
lived we'll during sixteen months of actual hos.
tllitiss; and 1t has also furnished the Southern
armies with men TO do much Of that hard
drudgery which forms the antithesis to the ro-
nance of war.
Twelve or fifteen months ago, what Is here
accepted as sober truth would have been secuted
as the height Of absurdity by large majority
Of the Northern people. In fact, public opinion
in regard to this one subject, slavery az ga
source Of strength" has undergone complete
revolution. Almost everybody Is willing to
admit that this element In Southern society
was supposed to be the weak point-it was the
magazine which only needed to be fred to blow
in pieces the whole social organization. AZ II
to CONFIRM this view, suppositious accounts oi
slave insurrectlons were published In come ol
the radical newspapers at the outbreak of thu
rebellion, but since then the discovery has beer
made that slaves are q very different sort o
stuff. We have much more to learn on relevsn
topios.-M Y. Journal of Commerce.

evening laden with prisoners from Richmond,
most of whom are either sick or wounded.
All of them left on the same steamer this
morning for Point Lookout hospital.
The efficient medical director, j. M. Guy
Ter, who has ofliciated for some time at the
hospitals at fortress Monroe, left here last
evening for Washington to take more prom
inent position. There is an expression of
general regret at his leaving this place, for
he has been most assiduous in his labors
among the sick and wounded under his care.
DIR. Gilbert takes his place here.
Many merchants who had made arrange
ments for taking goods to Norfolk, some to
open new stores and some to fill up stores al
ready opened, have changed their plans for
the present, or desisted from carrying out
their former ones, partly for the reason that
the currency is in so poor condition IN that
place.

arrive at fortress Monroe. The John Brooks

agreed to appropriate 100000 for the benefit

ter of the secretary of war to the Joint COM
mittee of the New York common council on
national affairs:
WAR DEPARTMENT. July 26.-Gentlemen ::
Your views respecting the recruiting service
and the proper measure to encourage it have
been attentively considered by the president,
and the 70 flowing regulations established by
the department are expected to attain the OBJ
ject you desire.
1st. The adjutant general will detail an off
! Ger at each rendezvous for mastering in re-
cruits, who will pay to each recruit his proper
share of bounty, and always pay the recruit
ing fee at the time he is mustered into SER
vice.
I'd. 1t being of paramount Importance to
fill up the old regiments speedily, the fee for
recruits to the old regiments is double that for
the new regiments, to wit: four dollars to
| each recruit
Sd. The recruits will be clothed, armed and
equipped without delay, and placed in a camp
| of instruction.
Any other practical suggestions you may
be pleased to offer will always be respectfully
considered by this department.

New ALBANY, IND, 27.-The Ledger
says the rebels have congregated in consider
able force at Hawesville, Ky, and bodily and
defantly insulted the Union citizens. The
ram Hornet with troops, has gone there.
Henderson and Owensboro' were quiet on
Friday, and both towns are strongly garrison
ed with federal troops, who arrest all persons
who talk or act in favor of rebellion. The
military prisons at Louisville are so full that

Passengers from Henderson say the guer'
rillas have appeared with pretty strong force
opposite Mound City, and it was feared they
would attempt to burn the federal gunboats
building there.

CAIRO, Ill, July 26.-The steamer Evans
vile, from the Tennessee river, brings the
news of a rebel raid at Florence, Ala, on
Tuesday last. They entered the city and
burned all the warehouses used for commissa-
ry and quartermaster's stores and all the cot
ton in the vicinity. They also seized the U.
S. steamer Coloma, used for carrying army
supplies over the shoals. They took all the
money belonging to the boat and passengers,
and then burned her. The property destroyed
is reported to be of great value. small de-
tachment of Gen. MitchelPs army was cap
tured. The rebels then proceeded down the
Tennessee river to Chickasaw, Waterloo and
the vicinity of Eastport, and burned all the
warehouses which contained cotton. Another
band of 40 rebels attacked wagon train near
Pittsburg Landing, and captured 60 wagons
conveying commissary and qnartermaster's

In the absence Of further news from Amer
Ca the papers have little to say upon the war
question. The Times publishes letter from
its secession correspondent at Liverpool,

of the confederates, points out the difficulties
against which the confederates contend in or
ganizing and maintaining armies, and argues
that there is but one source of such strength
the sense of right
The Gazette officially announces the revo-
cation of Edwin James, patent as queens
counsellor. The Times again reverts, in
terms of depreciation, to the new American
tariff, and points at the injury that will be
done England, but contends that the injury is
nothing to what America will suffer hereafter
1t concludes by asking what have the people
of England done that they should be the OBJ
Jects of all this fierce, short-sghted hostility
What have the people of America done that
they should be destined to undergo all this
mercy ct their own hands? They are well
come to rejoice that they are injuring us, so
long as we are allowed sincerely to lament
that the blow is wantonly aimed at us, and
destined to have so fearful and deadly a re-
coil.
The Times says it is reported that private
telegrams from India state that one hundred
and fifteen thousand bales of cotton have been
shipped from Bombay in one week. This is
believed to have been under news of the rise
of only one penny in Liverpool; consequent
ly, it is inferred that when the news of the re-
cent great advance is received much larger
shipments will come forward than has been
expected.
The viceroy of Egypt gave magnificent en-
