A secesh Lady" in a ouandary

The following Is published in the
Richmond Despatch. 1t reveals an aw-
ful state of affairs at Norfork, where Ia
dy actually has to walk her baby on the
pavement morning and afternoon The
aforesaid lady says:
But the crowning act is the emancipa-
ton of the negroes here. Every negro
man, woman or child is as free as you or
|. Much more so, for they are insured
protection. which is denied US, and grant
ed more liberties. If half a dozen gentle
men assemble in the street TO talk, they
are dispersed by the guard, but the ne
groes assemble in scores and hundreds
without molestation. Some few remain
with their masters yet, but will probably
leave soon. The streets are lined with
them. They are trying TO get homes, to
receive their own wages, but | hope none
of our citizens will encourage them.
Several of them have been to me, know
ing that was in want of nurse; but
invariably drive them off, telling them
am determined not to hire a runaway
negro. have been doing all my house
work for some time, and have to walk
my baby on the pavement morning and
afternoon, and am almost broken down,
yet will endure all that, and more too,
before l will hne one of them. My cook
is still with me, but more good for moth
ing than ever, and as surly as she can be,
and | expect nothing less than to rise
some some morning and find that ! shall
have to cook my own breakfast.

Postal Affairs.

From Holbrook's United States Mail.l
1t has been discovered that the facili-
ties for defrauding the public and the
Government, resulting from the free use
of postage stamps in making change, are
by no means neglected by those who are
wide-awake in such matters. This is done
by removing the stamps on envelopes
which have already been through the
Post Office, and imperfectly cancelled, and
either passing them off in making small
purchases or again placing them upon let
ters to 20 in the mails, with the expecta-
ton that their circulation from hand to
hand will account for their soiled appear
ance. and that the fraud will thus escape
detection.
Persons receiving stamps for change
should therefore inspect them very close
ly, as the last holder win be very apt to lose
their value when put upon letters, in case
doubt arise as TO their having been before
used in the prepayment of postage. Let
ters bearing such doubtful stamps will be
pretty sure to find their wry TO the Dead
Letter Office
A thorough cancellation in the first in
stance, by postmasters. will prove the
most effectual safeguard, both to the pub
lie and the Department.

ATrue Democrat

The editor of the Delaware Standard,
who has all his life been Democrat, and
who desires to act with the democratic
Party" writes about the Fourth of July
Convention as follows.
In commingling with the members, in
private, we found them still possessed
with the erroneous idea of charging the
present rebellion upon abolitionism, just
as they did last year at the Convention.
We hoped that the year past would open
their eyes, and enable the masses ofDem-
ocracy to divest themselves of the preju-
dice that had taken hold of them on this
all important point-but we have been
mistaken. for they still cling to it as their
only stock in trade. They seem to have
forgotten the course of the leading tral-
tors toward the Democratic party. by
which step they have been enabled to
bring the nation to the present crisis.
SO long as these things are still within
the recollection of the masses it is useless
to try to palliate the course OF traitors by
charging the war upon abolitionism,

Letter From Gen. BUell's Army.
Correspondence Of the Pittsburg Gazette
NASHVILLE, TESS., Sept !, 1862.
RETRoGRESsIOS

The entire army of the Ohio has been
withdrawn from North Alabama and
Southern Tennessee. and has been concen-
trated at a point South of this. which
must, in the necessity of the case, remain
nameless. After six months marching
and eounter-marching. Gen. Buell. finds
himself at his starting point, with de-
moralized army, cut off from supplies,
and flanked by a force not less in Point of
numbers than his own BY a flank move
ment of the enemy, Buell. has been COM
PEELED to gradually eyacuate the whole of
the country South of us. and ] shall not
wonder if he evacuateS this city within
week. Indeed. to-day there are rumors
that he has been ordered To Louisville,
and report is prevalent that in Il speech
to half dozen citizens of Nashville. Buell.
SAID THAT though about to eyacuate this
city, he should leave it as found it,
But not these rumors so much Is a calm
survey of the lat the least) uncomfortable
situation, inclines the observer TO the be-
lief that Buell. must retire 10 Kentucky.
General Bragg has moved North by the
Sequatchy valley and assembled the
mountain, and reached the high table
land of North-Middle Tennessee, thus
completely fianked this whole force
Like Pope, Bragg moves without any base
of operations or lines of retreat, only he
moves more effectually. 1t is said Bragg
crossed the Tennessee, and moved with
two wagons to a regiment as transporta-
ton This would give him train Of not
over 100 wagons for his army of 10000
men. By this army thus marching Buell.
has but two alternatives left him.
TWO ALTERNATIVES.
He must either march, abandoning ev-
cry thing that is considered surplus, at 4
rapid rate, and attack Bragg before he
crosses the Cumberland river, or retire in
parallel line with him to Kentucky.
The former is perfectly feasible. The
country will support the army. The
march can be made. Bragg can be found,
and can be whipped; and, once whipped,
he can be routed and dispersed. But he
is not coming here to allow Buell. 10 do it.
Buell. must find him. If Bragg were dis
persed, could Smith exist in Kentucky {?
Smith could be cabtured, and if Buell.
moves he will be.
WHICH BUELL. WILL TAKE.
l believe that Buell. is going to hunt
Bragg. l have no information direct
from those in authority. / but give the
evidence of my senses, including my
sight and excluding my hearing. L be-
lieve that the movement will be made
soon, and am devoting the little time

of the powers that be" to snch move
ment.

Mr.. Seward to day declared to one of his
frienda that his resumption OF ministerial du-
ties was made TO bo dependent upon two con-
ditions, whose non-fulhllment would even yet
compel his resignation; and though Mr.. Chase
to-day signifed to the President hiB consent to
return to his department, it seems apparent
that his action also will be made TO depend, 30
far as any permanent occupancy goes, upon con-
tlngencies. ln the meantime, Stanton feels
stronger than ever, and seems unconscious Of
Influences rapidly combining against him. Hia
personal relations with Mr.. Blair have long
been most unfriendly, and the latter comes Of
race and family unused to defeat.
The Senate Is like strong army repulsOd in

will soon be, Congress against the Executive
and the result oi such struggle 10 not difficult

an Executive successfully defed the Legisla
ture. 1t is significant fact, that Senator
Wade was to day closeted for hours with tn,

that vacant Senatorship in Ohio will ope
