The Feeling at the North.

The tone Of the Northern Press regarding the
terrible slaughter of our brave soldiers which re-
Gently took place at Fredericksburg, in the despe-
rate, and We might almost say, foolhardy attempt
to diSlodge the rebels from their impregnable
strongholds, is bitter and severe upon the Admin
istration at Washington, by whose blundering and
interference it Was brought about. That General
Burnside was forced to cross the Rappahannock
and make this hopeless attack against his own bet
ter judgment is as much beyond doubt, as is the
fact that the delays to which he was subjected by
the tardiness of incompetent officials at Washing
ton in forwarding the PontJon bridges, checked
his progress, and by allowing the rebels abundance
of time to concentrate their forces, and entrench
themselves at Ere .erickshurg, entirely over, hrew
plans, which gave every promise Of success
While, however, the onus of this dreadful sacri-
fee Of life is laid upon the Administration and the
drivelling officials who help to manage the affairs
of our government, common consent appears not
suits, but attaches vast deal of credit to the con-
sumate generalship displayed in extricating himself
"without the loss of single man or gun,'' from
a most perilous position, and one into which he
had been impeled by the imbecility of his superb
ors. In performing the difficult feat ofrecrossing
3 river in the face Of q victorious foe and evacua
ting position, the occupation of which for twelve
hours longer would undoubtedly have been attend
ed with the most disastrou, results to our cause
General Burnside We take it, has exhibited military
abilities fully equal if not superior, to those of the
most successful general that opposes him. He has
accomplished military exploit excelling even the
escap of army from Maryl after the bat
tie of Antietam whehwas so CALLING to u.s. and such
boast to the rebels. That our troops showed the
most admirable bravery and determination is con.
ceded by all, even the rebels themselves and il
removes all sting Of disgrace to know that
those noble men fell On the field hravely facing the
enemy and were not slaughtered in an ignomipious
retreat. While glorying in the heroism of our
troops, none can feel surprise at the torrent of
lamentations and reproaches which this uss,ess
sacrifice of them has wrung from the people
ofthe North. They sreuo longer silent and passive
under this last carnival of blood, but reproacbes
loud and deep are laundering at the doors of the
Administration, threatening awhirlwipd of popular
indignation, which they dare no longer resist

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

The New SMALL CURRENCY AS postage
stamps are soon TO be currency and legal
tenders, it is important that the public
should know particularly about them. The
washington correspondent of the Sun thus
describes the different kinds:
"rhe one cent stamp is blue, and has the
ygnette of Franklin. The three cent stamp
lthe one commonly used) is pink, with the
portraitof Washington. The five cent is
chocolate color, with head of Jefferson. The
ten cent is green, with the portrait of Wash
lngton. The twelve cent is black, with the
portrait OF Washington. The twenly-four
cent is lilac, with the head of Washington.
The thirty cent yellow, with the vgnette of
Franklin. The ninety cent is blue, with the
portrait of Washington as appearing when

"Ihe stamps now in use by the Post Office
Department are distinguished from the old
ones mot now receivable) by the fact that
the figures denoting the denominations are
in the upper corners"
The paper TO be used for the stamps for
currency is to be thick and without gluten.
Plans are under consideration whereby II
strong impression may be made upon the
stamp when cancelled. The daily use of them
will require something of this sort.

PRIvATn ooRPoRATIoNs.
The following is from the Philadelphia Led

The following is from the Philadelphia Ledger:
The passage of the bill to legalize postage
stamps us currency is a blow aimed at the small
change trouble. The law, which received the
prompt signature OF the President, provides
that "no private corporation or bank shall
make aud issue any token, note or device for
less than one dollar 10 circulate as money" un-
der penalty OF $500 and six months imprison-
ment Under this wording of the second Sec
ton, q question already arises, What is "pri-
yate corporation ?" The new law peremptorily
forbids the issue of tokens, notes or devices by
any private corporation or bank for sums less
than one dollar. under heavy penalties; and it
is important to know at once what distinction il
to be drawn between private and public c0rpo-
rations. According to Bouyier's Law Diction-
ary, "if the whole interest of n corporation
does not belong to the Government, or if the
corporation is not created for the administra-
tiOn Of political or municipal power, the corpo-
ration is private. A bank, for instance may be
created by the Government for its own uses; but
if the stock is owned by private persons, it is a
private corporation, although it is created by the
government aud its operations partake Of pri-
vate nature. 20 WheatOn's Rep, 9O7.) This
rule is the same in the case OF canal, bridge,
turnpike, insurance companies, aud the like
Charitable or literary corporations, founded by
private benefaction, are in point Of law priyat'
corporations, though dedicated to public charity
or for the general promotion of learning. Angel
& Ames on Corp, 22.") Kent's Commentaries
define corporations as "the union of two or NOR
individuals in one body polite, with capacii,

i a corporation be private, the corporation is pri
vate, however extensive the uses may be to whic
it is devoted by the founder, or by the nature c
the institution" The distinction between publ
and private corporations is here very clearl
drawn. A private corporation, although il ina
