Market fof the Poor.

For several weeks troops of Confederate
brigands have been infesting all the roads
leading into the city, and have, to the
utmost Of their power prevented market
people from bringing supplies to our citi-
zens. We learn that within few miles
of town notices are posted up by the
Captains of these troops of scoundrels,
warning the country people that if they
are caught bringing marketing TO this
place, they shall forfeit their loads, their
wagons and their teams. In the face Of
these difficulties few market people now
venture in, and then only by stealth, and
consequently our suppl es of vegetables
are almost entirely cut of. Butter sells
at 90 cts. and Sl,OO; Irish potatoes, 20
cents q peck and the very few 9TH
err articles offered for sale at cor
responding prices. Fowls, apples,
eggs, etc, eau rarely be obtained at any
price As supplies are 50 difficult to OBJ
tain, it il very natural for those who have
means TO buy much larger quantities
of any article than they would do was it
more abundant and thus it becomes al
most impossible for the poor to buy
anything, as they are not only without
the means to buy much, but are crowded
out of the market by few mOnopolizers.
To illustrate, if butter were abundant,
a housekeeper might prefer to purchase
but two or three pounds at once, but il it
makes its appearance but once week
no will, if he has the means, buy up three
or four times that quantity, and thus the
poor are virtually excluded from the
market Cannot the Governor or the
Military authorities give some protection
to persons who will supply our market?
Why for instance cannot worthy persons
be allowed TO go out with the forage
trains, under the protection Of our
soldiers, for supplies? The only
privilege granted to these traders
would be the privilege of buying on
fair terms from the farmers who
are not allowed to como to market.
In this way the greatest abundance of
supplies ofall kinds could be brought in,
II is easy to see how this scheme, which
is perfectly simple, reasonable, and prac 70
ticable, might be enlarged, so as to make
it embrace a free market for the poor a
step which we think would be much more
beneficial and certainly far cheaper than
the donation of money. We are con-
WINGED that with fcee market, our au-
thorities can do more to assist the poor
with one dollar, than they can do by the
donation in money Of three or four times
that amount We earnestly urge the sug-
gestion for the consideration Of our Au-
thorities; with this additional one, that

The more rejecting and president of
European newspapers perceive this.
Among them the Saturday Rerie,0, which
is nothing il it be not a reyiler of Ameri-
ca, is compelled to say:
Whatever be the result Of the civil
war now raging in America, there seems
little doubt that it will tend more and
more TO dcyelope the national character Of
the people, and 10 obliterate what yet
remains Of habit aud sentiment akin to
those Of the Mother-country. In few
years, if we mistake not, even the aifec-
tatiOn Of a claim to English descent and
of regard for English traditions will be
lost throughout the greater part of the
States. Whatever may be the proper
tons in which the blood of SO many Ta-
ces is now mingled in the body of the
American population, we perceive more
clearly every day, that the result of the
fusion has been to produce national
character, sufficiently marked, diverging
widely in almost every particular from
the English type"

Grace Church, New York

We take the following sketch Of the
"aristocratic" church of New York from
"Reccnt Recollections of the Anglo Amer
lean Church, by an English Layman;"
To the very remotest corner of our
land has penetrated the fame Of this
stately sanctuary, whose mighty shadow
falls across the everlasting tumuIt of
Broadway, and over whose aristocratic
pavements no footsteps pass but those of
the very creme de IL creme of our NewYOrk
society. "A is no easy affair to effect
successful entrance, so great is the throng
of ruslling silks, butterfly bonnets, costly
furs, and glittering ornaments pouring
into church from the host of carriages
without,
"This pOrtly smiling gentleman, with
the bald forehead ringed fingers, glossy
linen aud lustrous brOadclOath who is
always busy, yet never in au uudigni-
fed hurry, is Mr., Brown-the identical,
immortal Brown, whose presence is in
dispensable at every wedding or soirce
ball or funeral In fact, this sexton of
Grace church is sole master Of ccremo-
malls at every fashionable lestiyity.
Within there is the rich gorgeous gloom
that one uucOnsCiOusly connects with the
old cathedral cloisters Of The middle
ages-ihe long perspective of dim arches,
aisles and pillared naves, while the mag
nificence Of the stained glass windows
almost battles the power Of description
Streams of deep blue and emerald light
blend, with a sort OF rainbow effect, into
the shadows OF vivid crimson and tremb-
ling gold that glimmer across carved
door aud decorated gallery, while one
window seems like peep into the clear
depths of u summer night, 50 exquisite
is the CLEAN Of its golden stars through
a ground OF soft rich aAu,e.
Another pictures the fine old apostles
with circles OF amber glory above their
heads, and the great central window,
above the altar, is emblazoncd with the
Dove descending in shower Of radiance
on the meek bowed head OF the Saviour

I'VE wonder what the martyrs of old
times, aud the heroes who died at the
stake long ago, would say il they could
be suddenly placed in the midst OF This
temple Of the Lord, and Introduced TO
this religion of the 18th century Would
they marvel 40 the wisdom OF their de-

The Town Of Prentiss Burned

As a feet Of our transports were as
cending the Mississippi recently, it was
fired into by guerrillas, at Prenliss,
town on the Mississippi, opposite Napo-
leon, killing one man. On The return OF
the fleet large force Of guerrillas, num-
bering 800 or 1000, under command Of
NLLrIGrE, occupied the shore there, and
opened brisk cannonading and volleys
Of musketry on the boats. The boats
returned The compliments with shot and
shell, killing twenty seven Of the rebels,
and driving them back into the country
in the direction of Bolivar. After which
part Of the forces disembarked and
burned the town.
Randolph, Mississippi, has suffered the
same tate. This doae should be admin
istered freely to the rebels. Caute,y is
often a highly successful remedy for ma

HARRIS occupies his time in skulking
from town 10 town, passing like the pro-
prietor of a monkey. show, from McMinn-
vile TO Murireesboro, from Murfreesboro
TO franklin, from Franklin TO Lebanon,
from Lebanon TO Gallatin though he
will not be likely 10 repeat his visit to
the latter place shortly, since the thun-
der bolt which was recently thrown
among his followers in that vicinity.
We are told that the miserable creature
does not dare TO sleep in the same house
two nights in succession, for fear that
his whereabouts might be asccrtained by
the Federal cavalry.
For six weeks past he has been Turk.
ing at these places, delu6ing himself with
the belief that the Federal troops were on
the point Of abandoning the Capitol, and
that he could then ride into power again
with an escort of those refined gucrrilas
who have been training for his service,
by numbering unarmrd citizens, stealing
horses, burning the houses Of loyal peo-
pie, aud outraging unprotected women.
He does not dare TO put himself at the
head Of a force, or play the part of a
manly foe. What else could be expected,
however, from a man who robbed the
children Of the State Of their School
Fund OF 100000? Among the other
Governors of this Commonwealth, he
looks like filthy buzzard among flock
of Eagles.
