TVE LARGEST CRY II THE WoRLD.-A
very erroneous idea is INDUCED in BIZ many
people in relation to the largest city in the
world many confidently asserting that
London, Or as it is frequently termed, tive
Great Metropolis, is far superior both in
size and the number Of Its inhabitants.--
But such is not the case. Jeddo, the cap.
ital Of japan, is, without exception, the
largest and most populous city in the
world. .-. ".s.
1t contains the vast number of one mil
lion FIVE hundred thousand dwellings, and
FIVE millions Of human souls. Many of
the streets are nineteen Japanesieries in
length, which is equivalent to twenty-five
English miles.
The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds
that Of any other city in the world, and
all along its coast is constantly white with
the sails Of ships. Their vessels sail to
the southern portion Of the empire, where
they are laden with rice, tea, sea coal, to.
bacco, silk, cotton and tropical fruits, all
of which find ready market in the north
and then return reighted with corn, salt,
oil, isinglass. and various other preduc-
tons Of the north, which have a market
in the south.-Ns,c York Argus.

Worth Remena bering.

The New York Comnerciat Adrertiser
has the following advice to some of its
more immediate contemporaries. capable of
very general application, and worthy of q
general reading:
Considerable risk and possibly some
temper might be saved if our cotempora-
RES would remember that it is much eas-
Ter to WELD o pen than it is to move and
man9uvre an army; to say er CathedY0
81 he should have hurled his left wing on
the enemy" at such crisis IN the fight.
than to " hurl it; in short, to criticise 5.
campaign than to plan and operate it.
a pen IS easily moved; an army OF a
division, or q regiment or even a battal-
ion IS not moved without difficulty and
with much previous reflection and q prcpa-
ration. We denOunce this general az slow,
and that march as dilatory, the abandon
lnent OF this place as a great blundcr, and
the delays OF that expedition as IA needless
piece Of red-tapeism, when in reality We
know nothing Of the thousand and one con-
tingencies that an army in motion is al
ways subject to, or OF the numerous other
movements dependant upon these which
make deliberation necessary, and more
than justify the abandonment Of post or
delay in sending Oft an expedition.
just now some OF our CONTEMPORARIES
arc assuming, because they cannot see or
are not permitted to know what is going
on in the military departments of the gov
eminent, that no activity exists, and that
our fine army on the Potomac are to re
main inactive until next spring that in
fact it is going into winter quarters
There is not the shadow Of authority for
such an assumption, and no reason, there
fore, for disturbing the public mind with
such gratuitous apprehensions. Let US at
least give the President and the Admin
istrati0n credit for common intelligence
and genuine patriotism. They surely
have as much at stake as we have in the
prompt putting down Of the insurrection
But they are responsible for results which
none of the editorial brotherhood are.
With them failure would be irretrieyable
ruin, both for them and US. They must
move with caution that they may move
with certainty and success. Let there be
no second attempt to excite the "On to
Richmond spirit"

Gen. LOCKWOOD Emancipating Slaves
of Rebels I'm AccOmac.
From the Richmond Wing, eth

From the Richmond Wing, 9TH.
Two gentlemen who recently made their
escape from Accomac, and have arrived in
this city, represent that the state of affairs
in that county almost amounts to reign
of terror. The Yankee general, Lock-
wood, who commands that department, is
already practically enforcing Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation, by issuing
free papers" to slaves. In single day,
last week, he thus liberated $50, yet re-
tanned them in the community, instead of
sending them North, as the Yankee gener-
ais elsewhere have DONE Of course, their
masters are charged with their support,
without the benefit of their services. The
gentlemen from whom we obtain this in
formation crossed the Chesapeake in an
open row-boat, and then made their way
to Richmond by land

Proclamation.
From the n. \. Tribune, 18th.

From the N. \. Tribune, 18th
We are permitted to state, uDOn the HI
! thority of gentlemen holding Intimate per
sonal relations with Gen. Halleck, precise
ly what position he takes in conversation,
dent s Proclamation. Gen II. holds that
the controlling military necessity that we
should deprive the enemy OF the labor by
which his armies are subsisted, is clear and
II qualified; that indeed it is wholly iInpos-
side to subdue the Rebellion while such an
army OF labOrerS as the slaves Of the South
continue to produce supplies for the fight
ing army in the field. OF the three mil
lions and a half Of slaves, General Halleck
computes that at least two millions are to-
day practically employed in the work OF
the Rebellion, whose effective strength is
greatly increased by the superior produc-
tiveness OF the Southern climate and soil.
so greatly that, as Is proved by statistics,
the labor OF a girl not more than sixteen
years OF age i'll the South, produces thirty
per cent more than that OF a thorough field
hand in the North. Taking these facts in
to consideration, Gen Halleck says that,
i'll a military aspect, he has had no doubt
WI CiiS question ciIlcC Lut IeSpclllOU 3SSuIU-
ed its present formidable proportions, and
has never wayered from the belief. that if
we would conquer the South, its black la
Dor must be taken from it. With the aues-
ton what to do with the negroes whom the
war will leave upon our hands, Gen. Hal
leck conceives that, as General-in- Chief, he
has no right to an opinion, it being mat
ter for the consideration OF the civil autho-
rites; but he regards it as problem which
deserves the most serious study of the best
minds of the country. While discussing
this branch Of the subject, Gen Halleck is
accustomed to advert to the fact that Gen.
Butler is now issuing three rations, and
will, probably, soon be called upon, if ar
rangements now contemplated are carried
into effect, to issue ten rations to the ne
grOes for every one to his soldiers Is the
North asks the General, to feed the whole
negro population, or is the thing sometime
to end, and if SO, when and how? In
speaking of Gen. McClellan's Order No.
1853, Gen. Halleck observed that it is of
course the duty of soldier to obey his So
perlors in all things not physically impos-
sible for him to do.
