The accounts from France and ENGLAND to
the latest dates present continuance Of the
anomalous condition Of the grain markets.
In the face Of necessities rather greater than

fore statcd-the British markets were " still
SLOW; and no improvement could he noted il
prices, but rather decline.''
Similar moderation in prices prevails il
France. The quotations Of flour at Paris
however, were firmly maintained for the first
week in March, though the sales were light.
The accr,1ing receipts in both countries

London papers say thai the " extraordinary

The Pro-Slavery Democracy have had a
secret caucus at the Capita, and true to their
procii7ities and antecedents, have resolved,
SC our dispatches Of last night inform Us,

famous Eallandigham was chairman Of the
committee On resolutions, and no better
clue to its composition and character need
be asked. These Democrats decide to op-
pose the Presidents Emancipation Mes
sage. They deem Slavery is IN danger, and
rally to its relief and support far more
promptly than any Of them to the aid
Of the Government against its enc
mics Va1landigham and his followers
have no hard words for the rebels, and are
full of sympathy for traitors but let man
stealing be endangered, and their zeal is
immense. The movement can count on
the support Of every seccssionist in the
North, and stands as the first foundation
Of a row of rotten piers for the contemp1a.
ted bridge Of compromise. We wish the
men Of this class were all in civil life. We
can imagine genen1 full sympathy with
them would exhibit no activity in tho field
in hunting down traitors, nor is the matter,
we are sorrY to say, left entirely to the in
agination.

An improvement has lately been made in
the switches Of railroads by which the heavy
cast or wrought-iron frog has been done
away with, and movable piece Of T rail
substituted in its place. It is so connect
cd with the switch bars that one cannot
be moved without the other. One of these
switches was placed in the track Of the Pitts
buTgb, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad
Company, at Alleghauy Station, last fall, and
although more than Two hundred trains have
passed 1t e.ery day since tnat time, it has not
been out Of order, and worked admirably dur
ing the co1dest days Of winter. This switch
makes the track % perfect and as safe, ut this
unusually dangerous place, as On any other
portion Of the road. The object Of its intro
duction on this road is that the cars of the
narrow ganged roads with wide tread wheels
may safely run over it. The difference in
the gauge Of this road with that Of the Penn
sylyania is one and half inches, but the cars
Of the latter, with the vide tread wheels, eau
without difficulty pass over the former. The
difficulty heretofore experienced il running
the wide-trcad wheels Of the narrow-glussc
over the broad-gauge roads was the great
trouble in passing the switches. This new
switch obyiates all that heretofore has proved
an impeachment AS the road now is, there
can be no danger Of the cars running off the
track, and freight can now come in bulk from
Chicago and all points west, directly through
TO the commodious warehouses Of the Penn
sylyania Railroad Company, along ou1

The rebels have been playing their old
Floyd game OF cheating in the exchange OF
prisoners. When the twenty-five hundred
rebel prisoners upon Roanoke Island were re-
1eascd By General Burnside on parole, it was
upon the distinct understanding, entered into
between General Wool and General Howell
Cobb, that tho Federal prisoners remaining
at the South, including Co1onels CoTcoran and
Wilcox, should be Immediately sent forward
to Norfolk to complete the exchange There
:arr not enough Federal prisoners at the South
to make good the number of rebels captured
on Roanoke Island, but General Wool WIS vii
ling to let the account go unsettled He has
been trickcd, however. -Four weeks have
passed away, and neither Colonel Corcoran or
Col Wilcox have made their appearance of
Fortress Monre, nor one OF the rank and file
due according to the arrangement. It is con-
Eidtrsd liglly probable that the rebels mean
20 sh'rk from their part OF the arrangement,
now that they have got back their troops
captured by Burnside.

FORTRESS MONROE, March26. .-Contrabands

were July prepared TOR action, and ready to ac-

longed to North Carolina regiment, and re-:
port that the Merrimac has been daily expect

day, coming down SOME distance below Craney
The desefters represent that there was
great panic amongst the rank and file Of the

kept from the rebel soldiers. They have been
so often imposed upon by false statements Of
rebel victories that they are much dissatisfied.

Fredericksburg is the chief town OF Spot

fifty and sixty miles from Richmond By rail-
road, aud sixty-tiys miles by the turnpike, in i
northerly direction. The railroad from
Washington, via Aqua Creek, passes through
it; and thereby large traffic and tnade WAS
done previous to the rebellion. 1t is distant
from Aqua Greek by rai1road about fifteen
miles, from which point part of the Potomac
river traffic used to be carried to Fredcricks-
burg. A good canal had also been construct

mock river, about forty miles above. The li1ls
in the ncighborhood, varying in height from

Correspondents write that the advent of
Onion troops into Virginia has already had
beneficial effect upon the Union sentiment in
FaiItax county. A proposition has been
made to organize Home Guard in the county,
for the more perfect security Of the inhabi-
tants. Many Of the farmers are to be seen On
the Falls turnpike, between Alexandria and
Manassas, busy at work in erecting thei7
fcnces, which had been destroyed By the rebel
troops. They express their confidence in be-
ing projected from further invasion, and will
