DEFICIENCY OF LABOR. .
Eject Of he War upon Mechanical in-
dustry.

Prom the New York Times
Although the opponents of the financial
schemes Of the Government pa cdict an
enormous initiation Of the neccssaries Of
life, and consequent great suffering for
the working classes among us, it is fact
that labor is now in demand and able to a
great extent to dictate terms to capital
Instead Of the bloody bread riots, the as
sault upon Banks and the general distress
Of working men, which was so confden-
TALLY predicted as the result Of the war,
we fnd that in both.ag agricultural and me-
chanieal industry, the employers are well
paid, and there IS room for more that
farm hands never command better pay,
and that in this City at least a number Of
strikes have resulted in procuring increas-
ed remuneration for labor, an increase in
many cases amounting to twenty per cent
and more than compensating for any de-
probation Of paper currency. There seems
TO be every probability that those who es-
cape the draft will from this appreciation
Of wages. be we'll able to bear the pecuni-
arv burdens which the vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war may impose upon them.
There can be no doubt that the subtrac-
ton Of so many working men by the vast
body of volunteers which this city has fur
nished. has damaged business, but the evil
has been to great extent remedied by the

SIR:
1t is one of the happiest moments of
my life that l am enabled to inform the
department Of The destruction of the ram
ArAansaS, not because held this IRON
clad in such terror, but because the com
munity did. On the 18th inst, | sent the
Tennessee up to Baton Rouge with provi-
sions for commander Porter and the gun
boats stationed at that place. On the
9TH, she returned with the information
that the enemy had made a combined at
tack upon Baton Rouge by the ram and
two gunboats, the CoJ5 and Music, and
calling for assistance At daylight the
Hartford was under weigh for this place
with orders for the others to follow as
fast as ready.
] arrived here to-day az II o'clock, in
company with the Brooklyn, Westfeld,
Clinton Jackson and .Scioto, l had sent
tue Cay'tga up, agreeably to the request
.of General Butler, in consequence Of the
guerrillas firing into some OF his trans
ports. On my arrival, Twas informed BY
Commodore d. W. Porter that yesterday
morning, at two o'clock, the enemv's for
ces, under General Breckenridge, attack
cd General Williams and drove in his
pickets General Williams having had
ample warning all yyaa prepared for him
The fight was continued with great cner-
g on both sides until ten o clock in the
forenoon, by which time tue enemy had
been driven two or three miles, but .un-
fortunately the gallant General Williams
was killed. Fortunately he had informed
lieutenant commanding Ransom the even
ing before ofhis plans, and requested him
not to fire q gun until he notified him. and
when he did SO our gunboats opened with
Ene effect, throwing their she'll directly in
the place. Lieut. Roe says the enemy is
still lowering in the rear of Baton Rogue,
and that information is received that add
ed 10 the 6,000 already in the vicinity, /,
600 more are approaching from Manchas.
and others from Yicksburg
| keep in constant communication with
The commandments Of the troops here,
and am ready to open fire whenever and
wherever he may desire. Com Porter
says the 4rEoasds had a crew Of $50 men
and ten mounted guns, SIX eight inch and
four fifty FOUNDER rifles. The gunboat
ESSEX commanded by him mounted seven
guns, and had only forty men on duty at
the time of our going into action. Tho

This unfortunate old man has gotten very
impotent and obese, but bis nalignity never
grows old He has good reason to hate Vii
GINA. lie has stained his sword in the blood
Of his mother to the hlt, but he stained il IN
successfully. He has exhibited to her the
basest ingratitue and the most murderous re-
venge, but all proved impotcnt At the first
stamp of her foot, she crushed the mammoth
humbug of his military reputation, and drove
him not only from her borders, but from lis
own position as Lieutenant General of the
Federal Army. She compelled hm to give up
the sword he had disgraced to a younger sol.
der and better man; to one who had the
merit, at all events, of not invading his own
section, and who, if Pennsylvania had stood
in the relation to the Federal Government of
Virginia, would have cat off his right hand
before he wou!d have plunged his sword in
her heart.
We can easily understand that there are
men of Northern BIRTH who have never left
their native soil, who yet sympathze pro
foundry with the South, and this is no treason
either to the United States or to their section.
For it is not their section which is invaded,
and that makes all the difference in the world
between a Northern man who sympathizes
with the South and Il Southern man who
sympathizes with the North, especially one
who, like Winfield Scott, draws his sword
against his native land We can respect
even our honest Northern enemies, and
we do respect them far more than the ma
tive born traitors who have plotted, toiled,
and even fought to crush us to the dust
Hence it is that we ioice to see that collapsed
humbug, the late Lieutenant eneral, left to
drivel out his imbecile venom in New York,

must be sweet reflection to Uintield las he
christened himself in his old age, that the
United States lost every battle whilst he con
tinued Lieutenant General, and that it was
not till he was prevailed uponto retire, under
the impression that the United States cause
was going TO the bottom, and give place To
another man that the tide Of Northern reysrses
began to turn.
We know that his self conceit is enormous,
and feel quite sure that he will patronize Me

body will believe him. This war, which has
revealed many men II the world in new and
unexpected characters. has stripped the veil
altogether from Scot,'s charac er rs a man and
his pretensions IA a General. IIfs conduct TO
