How "Contrabands'' fare in N. York

How ssContrabands' fare in N. York.
A letter mentions the following: A
"real live contraband" was discovered, half
starved, in an alley, this morning, endeav.
oring to make breakfast of some garbage
lying in box on the sidewalk. Upon be-
ing interrogated, he said be was from Lou
don County, Va, and that he had been in
duced to leave his home by Massachu-
setts soldier, who told him he would have
plenty to eat and wear, and nothing to do,
when he got North. The soldier put him
on the train for Philadelphia, and when he
reached the latter place some kind friend
told him to "follow the railroad track
and he would reach New York or Boston,
where he would be we'll looked after. The
"dark" arrived here Sunday night, COM
pletely tagged out. He called upon some
of his free "colored brethren" aud asked
for food and lodging, but they Indignantly
refused to have anything to do with him,
and he was forced to sleep out Of doors and
eat whatever he could pick up in the
cutters. The darkey is quite young fel'
low-about twenty years of age-and gives
his name as Bill Anderson. He was own,
ed by gentleman named Wilcox, who re-
sided in Baltimore, and be says he was al.
ways we'll fed, and kindly treated by bis
master. The "coutraband" has been taken
care of by benevolent gentleman, who has
engaged him as servant. He is very in'
dignant at the soldier who induced him to
leave home. This is but one Of the numer-
Gus cases daily transpiring in this city.

THE FATE OF Observation-Disclosures
TED AT LAsr.-We get the following sig.
nifcaut article from the St. Mary's (Mary.
land) Beacon, the leading journal of lower
Maryland:
Whatever difference of honest opinion
may have existed in Maryland in reference
to the sincerity of the appreheusions which
the Southern States expressed and acted
upon for the safety of their property when
they found the Government passing into
the hands of a sectional party, no one can
doubt that these apprehensions were we'll
grounded, and that South Carolina, with
all her imperfections, was veritable proph-
ct. The abolition Of slavery in the District
of Columbia, the notification of the fugi-
tive slave law by Congress, and the cman.
cipation designs of Mr.. Lincoln upon the
border slave States, are the solemn witnes.
ses which she carries before the bar Of
history to justify her fiery onset upon Sum-
ter. We of Maryland have been enligh-
tened little too late, but at last we have
been enlightened. We have discovered at
last that the war is waged, not mainly for
the restoration of the Union and the honor
of the old flag, but chiefly for the abolition
of slavery Intoxicated for the moment by
the soul stirring cry of "war for the Union," !"
we have assisted to rob the people of the
District of Columbia, and to render value
less our own slave interests.
The scales have at last fallen from our
eyes, and we see now no longer through a
glass, darkly. We have been brought to
realize that "our patriot President" is some-
thing worse than promise breaker, and
that the cry for the Union is a miserable
cheat. We may not now avoid the ruin
which is upon ourselves, but it still remains
in our power to withdraw our sanction from
war which, it is now manifest, is waged
against the Confederate States from vim
dictive motives, and mainly for the e2tir.
patton of slavery wherever it exists. That
the voice of Maryland may be rendered as
effective as possible against the further
prosecution of such war, and against all
emancipation schemes, whether they come
from Lincoln or his allies in this State, we
advocate the ignoring of all past issues and
the formation of a party sufficiently COM
prehensive and broad bottomed to embrace
the whole anti-abolition sentiment of our
State.

The IMposs1BIL1rY OF SUBJUaAT1oN.

IHE lMPOSSlBlLlT1 OF SUBJ BJUGATION.
The London Times specu1ates as philos.
ophically upon the progress of our war, as
we might have done upon the siege Of Sc.
bastopol. It bases its more recent opinions
upon the Yankee accounts of the fall Of
Donelson. Assuming all they claimed
from that casualty, the Times considers
the prospect of conquest remote, and-as
against a resolute people-impossible.
"What must naturally occur to any Eu.
ropean who has read single page of mill
tary history, is that the progress of a hun
dred thousand men, ever so we'll equipped
and commanded, into country which reck-
ons its distances by hundreds of miles, may
be very like fighting the air or lashiug the
waves. From Nashville, East, South and
West, for at least five hundred miles, all is
Southern interest and feeling. There is
no divided allegiance or treachery there
But the condition Of the country makes in
vasiou at once easy and ineffective. The
population is sparse indeed, compared with
European nations. There are wildernesses
to be trayersed, forests to be penetrated,
swamps to be waded through, and even
Indian settlements to be crossed, before
the country can be conquered in any sense
of the word and the only result must be,
that for every man Of the conquering army,
there wiW be hayfa dozen to defend the
soiz. The invading army may conquer
where it stands, and 60 where it will but
when it begins to break up, to occupy, to
reap the fruits of the conquest, and to put
itself in the place of the original proprietor,
then it seems to disappear in the immensi.
ty of its own task. In other words, the
conquest of such a country, in any real
sense of the word, seems an impossibility,
so long as the occupants are animated by
the feelings, which nobody denies to the
South"
The Times is right. The freedom of
the country depends on the spirit of its
people. Generals may combino-soldiers
may fght-nature may have erected her
insuperable ranparts; but unless the whole
people-men, women and children-are
united in determination never to submit,
all will be in vain. Now We have the most
undoubted evidence that our people are
thus unanimous in defying the enemy
We have proven by the indignant refusal
of the people of Nashville, New Orleans,
Fredericksburg, and the overrun country,
to acknowledge the rightful domination Of
their detested invader, that we present the
uncouquerable condition upon which the
Times has predicated its opinions.

From New Orleans.

We received last night, says the Mobile
Tribune, papers from New Orleans of Tues
day morning, 18th instant. The gentleman
who furnishes them says that Gen. Butler
is carrying it with high hand. The fol-
lowing order from the True Delta is an in
stance of it:

SIR: The remarks in your Money Arts.
Gle of to-day are inadmissible.
Wanton, useless and criminal acts Of de.
struction of property, generally by the mob
who do not own it, are not acts of patriot
ism, but vandal incendiarism, which will
be punished.
You will not receive further caution, but
punishment for like offence.
Publish this conspicuously.

GEORGE G. STRONG,
ASSlSIaut AuJuI NCuClal'
A notice is published by the same officer
in which there is an adroit appeal made to
the poor of tho city, in order to tempt them
to reasonable acts. Recruiting Offices had
been opened for the Lincoln service, offer
ing s1S month and bounty of Sl0O at
the "end of the war" It is said that some
four hundred had been got, but they were
mostly deserters, and the miscreants who
mutinied at Fort jackson.
The telegraph statement in respect to the
specie seized by the enemy belonging to the
European house of Hope & Co., is des
cribed in detail. The following in relation
to it, we extract from the Delta
SEIZURE OF CoNsULATEs.-We arc in.
formed that the reason alleged for the sci
zure IF the Consulates of the Netherlands
is that the Citizens Bank owed the banking
house of Hope & Co., Of Amsterdam, a
large sum, estimated at from 5000 to
81, 100000, the notes for which are not
due, aud that the Directors Of the bank
placed the amount of their debt to Hope
& Co., in the hands of the Consul Of the
Netherlands, for the payment of these
notes, either before or at the time they be.
come due.
The United States Commander hearing
of these facts, claimed the money as still
belonging to the Citizens bank, by reason
of its not being due. If the Consul had
authority to receive the money for Hope &
Co., nice question might arise between
the United States and the Netherlands.
A guard was placed over the Consul's
Office, and, yesterday, we learn the money
was removed. It is understood that the
French and Spanish Consulates were seized
under the impression that they contained
money liable to ccnfscation, but upon an
assurance to the contrary they were prompt
lly released.

PICK UP THE PINs.-The common pin
is most useful and indispensable article
in every household. But, unfortunately,
in consequence of the blockade Of our ports,
they have become very scarce and very
high. We must, therefore, become. eco
nomical in the use of them. Probably in
no other article of trade have so much ex.
travagance and carelessness been visible as
in the use of pins. If we will be more
