Eleven Thousand Dollars for Book

The Commercial Bulletin, in an inter-
esling sketch on auctions and auctioneers,
gives the following account of the sale of
a rare, and we may also say costly vol
ume:
Mr.. Evans was at the time the great
book auctioneer. He it was who sold
the Duke of Roxburgh's collection. All
the bibliOmaniacs of that day and of any
note, from many countries, were present
For forty two days the voice and ham,
mer of Mr.. Evans were heard in the din
ing room of the late Duke, which had
been appropriated to the vendition of
the books. There were such deeds of
yalor performed, and such feats Of book
heroism achieved, as had never been pre-
yiously beheld. BIT the moment Of in
tense interest was when Mr.. Evans put
up the Venetian Bocdccjo.
Mr.. Evans, in presenting this choice
volume, delivered a florid Grafton, in
which lac expatiated ON its extreme rari-
~, and touchingly described the anguish
felt by NJ. Van Praci, because such trca-
sure was not TO be found in the Imperial
Library AT Paris. Earl Spencer, the
Marquis of RIandtord, and Lord Althorp
stood near the auciioneer. The first bid
ding was one hundred guineas; then
came live hundred, when the outsiders
dropped of, aud Earl Spencer boldly bid
a HouSaHd gaiHsas for that one volume
The silence was such that you might
have heard pin drop Zone thousand
and tsa,' said the Marquis. Earl Spen-
Ger and the Marquis kept on bidding
against each ether, until Lord Spencer
had offered h00 thousand hU0 h,Haytc
amt my poHids. The spectators were
electrified. The Marquis quietly added
his usual %rn." Mr.. Evans, ere his ham,
mcr fell, made a short pause, aud indeed
as if by something preternaiural the
ebony instrument itself seemed to bt
charmed or suspended in the mid air.
However, at last down dropped the ham
mer aud the Marquis walked home with
his prize in his pocket.

SUNDAY MORNING, SEPT. 81, 1862.

We suspect that our rich secessionis's |

~, Of their substance is going on at so
rspid a rate, between guerrillas on the
one side, and our foraging parties on the
other. that II is supcrauous 70 think Of
enforcing the actual cOniiscation law Of
Che last Federal Congress. And truly
thew have good reason to think so, when
thew see their hay stacks hauled of, their
eorn.cribs plundered, their slaves and
horses impressed, their cattle, and sheep
and hogs driven away; and nothing left
on their broad farms, save bare fields and
ransacked barns The rich rebels stand
between two murderous cross-ilres, and
suffer from friend and foe alike. Reool-
lect that this pillaging is only in IFS in
fancy, and that If the war be protracted
through another year, famine and abiect
destiluiion will on large part Of the
South with mourning. The more the
South swells her armies, the worse will
be the destitution. The chief sufferers
are now the poor, but the tables will soon

Guerrilla Squads,

Capt DICK McCANN is at Nolensville,
some sixteen miles from here, as We learn
of good authority, with some hundred
boys, and worthless vagabonds under
him, where he is carrying things with a
high hand, writing passes, administering
oaihs, etc.
We have good authority Tor stating also
that FRANK MoNAmY, of 'BloOdhound'
notoriety, was a, the head of the band
which destroyed eleven of our forage
wagons, and captured some forty cavalry
yesterday, some ten miles out on the
franklin road, at villainOus lowflung
little settlement, known by the soldiers
as Secesh-town. He prowls around
there, and when a chance offers he sends
his runners out through the neighbor-
hood and the citizens gather in. When
they are done, they disperse, and are
probably in Nashville The next day
swearing before God that they have
never borne arms, nor taken part in the
war,and are ready to taketheOath Of allie
glance. 1t would be well to send out a
force and destroy that hole Of yipers,
thoroughly.

Yancey on Guerrilla Warfare.

In the Senate on the DIST ult, Mr..
Yancey, of Alabama, offered the follow
ing resolutions
RssolOsi By the Senate Of The Confederate
States of Amsyica, That this war which
is now being waged by the United States
for the ayowed purpose of subiugating
the people of the several States Of this
Government to the dominion of the Gov
eminent of the United States is, in the
opinion of the Senate, a war as well
upon the people as upon the Government
of the Confederate States of Amrrica
aud that the principles upon which this
Government, and the Government of the
several States which compose it, are
founded, justify each citizen thereof, when
the invading enemy enters upon the soil
Of his State, IN taking up arms 10 defend
his homestead and liberties, and in at
lacking the invader either by individual
action or in organized bands
2. Il s0lueR That where any of our
citizens shall exercise this sacred right,
and shall by the fortunes of war fall into
the hands Of the enemy, they are emit
lied 10 be treated as prisoners of war, and
il they shall be treated otherwise, il is
the duty Of this Government TO extend
to them at, the protection which may be
within its power, or 10 rclaliatc for in
jules done TO them.
3, Res1lu} That ia The event the
enemy shall, in revenge for such patri-
otto defence of their State by any Of its
citizens, seize upon and imprison or
otherwise iniurc other al ila citizens not
implicated in the particular acts Tor
which such revenge may he taken, or
shall pillagc or destroy the property Of
any at our citizcps ,it will br The duty of
this Government 10 take prompt notice of
such acts Of coWardly harbJrily and
as far rs may lac within IFS power, 10
punish the perpetrators thereof, or TO re-
ialiate in such manner "a may be most
likely 10 deter the enemy from rcpett-
ton of such deeds.
Now just to prove that this mis'r'anl
YAVcry is a liar and will not stand I,
his own rule, here laid down, let as sup
pose that the lHiop citizens Of East Ten

constituting an overwhelming majority o.
each section, should lire individually

in defense of heir homes, what would
Mr YANoEY say ought To be done will
them? Would he say that these loyaI
men have the same right TO defend theil
homes that the rebels have 10 defend
theirs, aud that they must be treated AZ

would not He would denomcc them
as murderers ilclm~lf) and have them
hung as such.
These resolutions are a part Of th,
system Of bullying, which the Rich

pursuing an effective policy; but unless

The Indian Massaere inrMinne.ota.

Lieutenant Governor Donnelly, Of Min

The time has not vet arrived when an

Of this ouib cak. The names of some
