THE INVASION a FALURE.-A late number Of the
New York Herald c~onfesses the late movement OF Burn,
side upon Richmond, by the way Of fredericksburg, to
be altogether inpracticable, because experience has de,
monstrated the impossibilty Of subsisting the Union
army at a distance OF more than three days march from
a water base. The Herald claims that this Is a fact
clearly demonstrated by experience, as well a. one easily
determined by aid of a few authentica calculations If
this adm ssion be true, it makes the invasion itself simply
ridiculous, and the Herald might as easily demonstrate
that the Yankee Government is engaEed in a hopeless
undertaking. fact which has long been apparent to
every sensible man North, as well as South. If the
Yankees cannot penetrate more than thirty miles from
navigable IIvers, even with the aid Of railways, what

How Ho,h.ebild Brought lho y Lady

How ROthschiid Brought the Old Lady
of z ~hreadneedle street 20 her Manners
An amusing adventure is related as having
happened to the Bank Of England, which had
committed the great disrespect Of refusing to
discount q bill Of a large amount, drawn By An
ssln Rothschild, Of Frankfort, on Nathan Roth
schild, of London. The bank had haughtly
replied " that they discounted only their own
bills, and not those of private persons" But
they had to do with one stronger than the bank.
+" Private persons, " exclaimed Nathan Roth
schild, when they reported to him The fact,
Private persoss = AZ viii make these gentle
men see what sort Of private persons ws are!
Three weeks afterward Nathan Rothschild-
who had employed the interval in gathering al
the Is notes he could procure in England and
on the conti~nent--prssented himself at the bank
at the opening of the Office. He drew from bis
pockst-book a e5 note, aud they naturally
counted out Eve sOvereigns, at the same time
looking quite ast0nished that the Baron Roth
schild should have personally troubled himself
for such 2 triha. The Baron examined one BY
one the coins, and put them into a little cGnvss
bag, then drawing out another note, a third, a
tenth, a hundredth he never put the pieces Of
gold into the bsg without ~scrupulously eIamin-
ing them, and, in some Instances, trying them in
the balance, as he said, the law gave him the
right to do" Tho first pocket.b0ok being emp
tied, and the hTst bag full, he passed them 70 his
clerk, and received a second, and thus continued
till the close Of the bank. The Baron had en-
ployed seven hours to change I'll, 900. Bat e
be had also nine employees Of his house engaged
in the same manner, il resulted that the house of
RoLhGchild had drawn 92H0,6OO in gold from
tbs bank, and that he hadsO occupied the tslers
that no other person coald change q single note.
Everything which bears the stamp Of eccen-
hieity has always pleased The Ehghsh They
we're, therefore, th5 hgss dsyYYery much amused
ct the little Pique Of Baron Rothschld. They,
however, laughed less wAsn they saN him re-
turn the next day as the opening Of the bank,
haEkcd by his nine clerks, and followed tkis
tina by many dTsys, destined toacary away tbe
specie. Ttey Laughed no longer, when the king

1t very strange that you have had no lct,or

all the particulars Of Popc's retreat. W.
had very hard time of it. A good part Of
the time, we had nothing to eat but croo,
corn and apples, and sometimes we did No,
get enough Of that. On the llth ,lav ag,or

not been very sick, but so that I eoula mn.
march. have been in the bosnital b..o
about five days. am able to sit un tho
most of the time, but can walk but little
ways at time. The rebs made n cr,o,
mistake in coming INTO Maryland. The most
desperate lighting of the war has taken place
on this side OF the Potomac. Our Col. was
wounded in the thigh in the fight of welpes-
day. As near Us can fin1 out, the losse.
on both sides were very heavy indeed.
wrote you long letter when We were near
Georgetown, Ny portfolio, paper, stamp.
and the letter put in my hayersack, but
was 50 sick | could not take proper care Of
it, and so it was lost. Ny head troubles me
very much when it is warm. and there seem,
to he no circulation OF the blood in my fee.
and legs. hope soon to be able to write a
longer letter, but good bye for the present.
MONDAY, o2d.
1t is very pleasant to-day, il were strong
