circumstances to fall i'll Of any disease invol''
ing castor oil, for that exhilarating fluid now
sells at seven dollars tho gallon, relentlessly in
advance.
Thus the nature of Southern comfort and
prosperity, under the rebellion, may be esti-
mated with tolerable accuracy. The blockade
has done its work well, and will have had no
unimportant part in reducing the insurrection.
A people whose tastes are salacious, and yet
between whom and salt there is barrier
they cannot leap; who adore the onion, and
are yet denied its fragrancei among whom
the privilege even Of sickness is hampered by
the ruthlessly high price of pursatives, who
have as fair an appetite for judicious nutri-
ment as any in the world, and yet see day BY
day their last resources melting before them
such o people cannot long linger in the lap OF
contumacy. They must return to their alleg.
ance and It's contingent advantages Of good
food at reasonable prices, domestic comfort,
and public prosperity. Tie blockade which has
reduced them to the cad destitution of the
present must become still more relentless when
oil their great sca-ports are in our possession.
Tho question thon will be how long an impov-
erished and starving people will submit to the
military tyranny which now overrules them.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

fen. Mcclellan teleeraphei late on Monday
night TO Secretary Stanton that after arranging for
movements up York River, he was urgently sent for
to Williamsburg, where be found Gen. Joe Johnston
in strong force probably stronger than tie National
army. Gen. Hancock has taken two redoubts' ana
repulsed Earey's Rebel brigade by real eia'8e
with The bayonet, taking one colonel ana Aui'"'ou
and fifty prisoners and killing least two coloe'S anu
many privates Gen. Mcclellan ssys ne Goes n0'
know our exac, loss but fears that Gen. hoohcr "'
lost considerably on our left. He also learns from
,hs nrsoners taken that the Rebels intend dlspuiing
avery inch Of the road to Richmond. Gen. McClei-
IAN fur,ber saws he viii run the risk of boding the
Rebels in check at Williamsburg, while he resumes
his original plan of the reninsuar campaign. The
Rebel force lie thinks is consderably stronger than
ours but he will do all he with the troops at his
disposal.
A report comes from Fortress Monroe by way
Of Baltimore, that among the prisoners taken at
Yorktown is the Chief of Engineers of General
Johnstons staff, who states that the whole Rebel
army at Yorktown amounted to $1,000 men. He
gives most deplorab,e account Of the condition oil
the army and says that they will be unable to make
q stand anywhere this side of Richmond. The re-
treat commenced before daylight on Saturday morIl'
ing and he doubts not that the advance was twenty
miles distant at the time the last gun was fired from
Yorktown.
Fuller dispatches respecting the engagement near
Williamsburg on Monday, show the great skill and
bravery displayed by Gen. Hancock and bis division.
The Rebels left behind them eighty dead and forty
wounded, while about two hundred were taken
prisoners Gen. Mcclellan arrived at O'Clock in the
afternoon and assumed command in person. The
National loss is reported to have been seventeen
killed and forty wounded.
A dispatch from General McDowell's Corps says
he is now employing all the available negro labor in
building and repairing bridges, and in work Of
similar character, and that the negroes are deserng
their masters, and foeking to his standard in great
numbers. Our troops, it is said, now occupy Fred
ericksburg.
BY way of Chicago we have additional reports
this morning, that Corinth has been evacuated by
Beauregards army, and that Gen. Pope is in full
possession.
Gen. Halleek telegraphs TO the War Department
that Gen. Lowell, from New-Orleans, has joined bis
forces with those Of Beauregard.

A GREAT DAYS WORK.
cscape Linl.

We have wasted little time or space in com.
mending the doings of the present Congress-
albeit we hold it ono Of the most laborious,
earnest, pains.taking bodies that ever devoted
itself to legislation. 1t has not been SO prompt
and reSolutc as il ought in maturing and pass
ing its Loan ond Tax-bills, but it may win a
noble place in history by few such days
work as that Of yesterday, when the Senate
passed the FREE HOMESTEAD bill by the over
whelmng majority of SO Yeas to Noys-every
Republican present voting Yea, with Messrs.
Henderson and Wilson of Mo-, Kennedy OF
Nd, McDougal of Cal, and Wright of Ind,
while Messrs. Thompson of n. j., Rice Of
Min, Latham Of CAL, and Nesmith and Stark
Of Oregon were absent or withheld their votes
This bill, having already passed the House,
lacks now but the Presidents signature, which
it will surely and speedily receive. And then
we may congratulate the country On the con-
summation Of one of the most benefcent and
vital reforms ever attempted in any age or
cime-a reform calculated to diminish sensbly
the number of paupers and idlers and increase
the proportion Of working, Independent, self
subsisting farmers in this land evermOre. Its
blessings will be felt more and more sensbly
and widely for the next twenty years.
The House at the same time passed the
PACIFIC RAILROAD bill by thirty majority.
OF the details of this bill, including tls route
indicated for the road, we are not advised
though we believe it is intended TO start from
some point on the West line Of the State Of
Kansas, where it will be met by one road
from Missouri and another from Iowa. The
general public will care little, however, for the
route indicated, which is Of course liable to
future modification. The great fact is estab-
lished by this vote that the House has deter.
mined that the Pacific Railroad shall be CON-
menced so soon as the condition of the Ma.
tonal Finances will permit, and pushed on to
completion. And that resolve will in due time
secure its own realization.
Free Lands for the Landess and Pacific
Railroad to bind in iron clasp the Pacific TO
the Atlantic States and develop the boundless
Mineral wealth of the Rocky Mountains, the
Colorado Valley and the Great Central Basin
two such measures are not often so signally
advanced in one day. The cloud that have
long darkened our National prospects are
breaking away, and the sunshine Of Peace,
Prosperity and Progress will ere long irradi-
ate the land Let us rejoice in and gather
strength from the prospect

The steamship Edinburgh, from Liverpool on
The 3d. by way Of Queenstown on the oath, arrived
at this port yesterday afternoon. The telegraphic
news received BY way Of Queenstown is one day
later than that received by the Hammonia. The in.
telligence is not special importance. Mr.. Russels
account Of his repuson from the lines Of the Potomac
Army is to the effect that while be specially in
vited by Gen. Mcclellan to accompany the National
army, he was forbidden by formal order of the
President to avail himself of the opportunity. The
Times AYERS that Mr.. Russell might have gone
South and been privileged to witness the impending
battles under the countenance and sanction OF the
Rebel President, but refused to avail himself of q
privilege which might have laid him open to the sus-
picon Of carrying information to the enemy. The
Times represents American securities as being still
affected by the belief, prevalent in commercial cir.
cles, that the Rebel indebtedness must come into
account financially, in any settlement short of abso
lutte subjugation. Consols on Thursday, the 9th
