The POpuiatlon OF New orleans.

THR n. Y. EOeaiRg Posturges the passage
of a general bankrupt act as a necessary
adjunct of the new tax bill, and on the
ground of justice to the whole mercantile
community. During the past year over
nine hundred firms failed in that city, the
majority of which had from two to eight
partners, and the writer thinks it is due to
these persons and the public that their as
sets should not be swallowed up inslitiga-
ton, and that they should be relieved Of
their disabilities, and enabled 10 resume
business.

DAY succeeds days, and still the great
battle of Richmond comes not. Skirmish-
ing aboupds along McClellan's lines as be-
fore Charleston. Tue nation waits, ex-
pecting at any monet to nave the news of
the great and terrible conflict. We shall
not be surprised at any moment to hear
that the enemy has made the attack. It
was in fear of the concentration of troops
that Mcclellan was making, that jackson
was sent of on bis raid. The Richmond
Examiner expressly says that Mcdowell
was expected down with his army and
that probably Burnside was coming up
with portion of his, aud boasts that
the arrangement was partly broken up by
jackson. 1t admits, however, that the plan
was splendid. Fearing the result of al
lowing Mcclellan to increase his strength,
the rebels may deem it wisest 10 force him
to battle before all his achievements ar
rive. But the experience of Fair Oaks can
hardly stimulate them to the effort. Mean
time they are annoying our army ms much
as possible by skirmishes aud fornys.
Mcclellan is slowly advancing with the
greatest caution. He has been reinforced,
and probably the enemy are also receiving
reinfOrcements He means tn risk as little

stbility. His men are in fine spirits and
eager for the contest, We do not see how
it can be much longer delayed.

SONE months ago we RECALLED ourselves
by reading the prospectus of tho Southern
Monthly and by printing part of it. The
Southern Monthly was "a patriotic institution
established at Memphis mainly for the Gre
alton OF a pure Southern literature and in
cidentaIly for the pecuniary advantage of
certain publishers who were poor but hope
full. The suspension of the mails caused
us regretfully the pleasure of subscribing

Our readers will be glad to learn that,
although no definite action has yet been
taken. there is no doubt that the Yir-
giuia Northwestern Agricultural AssOcia-
tiOn will bold Fair about the middle of
next September. 1t is pretty generally
known that no exhibition WAS given last
year in consequence of the grounds of the
Association having been occupied as a Mill
tary Camp, and the warliEe and unusual
aspect of things in this section of coun-
try. The grounds are still occupied,
but the Association is assured that they
will be vacated in ample time TO allow of
the necessary improvements. The halls
have been turned into prisons, aud more
or less damaged; the stalls and fences have
been torn down, the track has been badly
injured and the grounds generally laid
waste by the elements and the soldiers, but
the Association has presented claim for
damages to the Government which is now
in possession of Quartermaster General
Neigs and which is in fair way of final
AA0 C4ASAA9AS uC GASS0ClA@
tiOn will then be prepared to proceed to
repair the grounds, which it is designed to
put in better condition than ever before
Never since the organization of the As.
ISOLATION has there been such an alum
dance of everything calculated to make n
successful exhibition as is now promised
for the present year. The orchards will

traordinary excellence and abundance

Gently in the way of vegetables, and the

We hope that the members of the AssO-

their arrangements, aud that they will be
heartily seconded in all their efforts by
the whole population.

Gentle and joyous spirits walk the earth;
And all is calm aRd soft, and bright and fair
The vi.lsge is astir; toe voice Of prayer

Now on the fresh breeze, clearly heard, and then,
In the quick quiEering Of the green leaves, lost
Prompt at the summons, moves the struggling host:
The youths clear fence and field with frolic bound;
The rudy maids, their prudent mothers boast,
DemuTely step, sly stealing glances round,
Nor leave the branchy path that thirds the
Around the ow-browed porch they pause awhile,
Beneath the elm that TO zers above the doms;
Exchanging, grsvey, greetings without guile,
They learn ths welfare Of each honest home
But soon the hum IL hushed the Pastor come,
Advancing slow, their toll bronzed brows they bend
And kneeing As he opes the saersd tome,
In prayer and praise, to God their Father aad their
Friend.

Expands with lsYe and joy; the yeoman stout,

From which the intruding oaks exclude tbs light,

The Conduct OF the War.

The leading citizens of Boston have come
out mantully in support of President Lin
coins proclamation for three hundred thousand
additional men for the army. An OVERLOOKING
meeting in Faneuil Hall has been followed by
two mass meetings on the common under the
direction of a committee appointed by the
Faneuil Hall meeting. The towns are COM
ing forth nobly, in their municipal capacity,
in offering bounties. 1t is evident that the
conservative portion of the community are
waking up to the fact that we are engaged in
war, which, may at no distant day, reach the
heart of the nation. The subject of drafting
dlsturbs many, and honest men differ as to the
expediency of drafting, but as that is the only
way of getting the authors of the war into the
field, it may have to be resorted to yet. The
spirit recently displayed in the free States usti-
fes q hope that volunteers enough will come for
ward in season to keep the rebels in check, and
takeRichmond,b but the taking of Richmond will
not end the war. We were alike shocked and
amazed by leader in the Boston Herald, on
the 10th, which in effect proposes to give up
the contest, if the Union forces do not bring
1t to close within year, and it argues against
enlistments for longer period. Jefferson
Davis and his associate eonspirators, when
they read the article, will roll it like a sweet
morsel under their tongues. 1t is exactly the
doctrine which suits their case. No sensible
man supposed, when the war had been fully
initiated by the Confederate junta, that it
could be finished in two years. The war for
the independence of the nation lasted seven
years; how long shall we fight for its contin-
uance2 Disunion and national independence
are Incompatible. The nation now styled and
honored as the United States of America will
be broken into fragments if the rebellion sue
ceeds, and the whole country will be at the
mercy of the leading European powers. Talk
ing of enlistments for a year-why, it will
take year after a man is mustered into the
service to make practical soldier Of him, es-
pecially if he has ever belonged to the volun-
teer militia, for he will have to unlearn and
forget all the notions and habits which he may
have acquired in that holiday sort of training.
