sufferIng i'm the RebeI Army.

A few days ago a scene was witnessed in our
streets which at least aroused the people to a
lively sense of the real condition Of soldiers.
A number of regiments marched down Ninth
street. passing the very door of the War depart
ment. Citizens standing near-there were no
officials present: they never are on such Occas-
ions-saw with their own eyes what the papers
have long and vainly tried 70 make them believe.
They saw numbers of soldiers marching bare
foot through the melting snow. Nor was this
all. They saw them tEinly clad in ragged and
worn out clothes; some of them without blank
cts, and without hats. This was a spectacle to
stir the pulses even of the speculator.
But there were some who took good care not
to witness so disgraceful a sight. At the very
moment this bsrefOOted procession was passing
the war department the President Of the Con-
federate States, his Secretary Of War, all the
Cabinet officers the Quartermaster General and
thousands Of able-bOdied young clerks were sit
ting by rousing fires, toasting their well-shod
feet and thinking of anything but the soldiers
II is not TO be expected that stout young fellows

that an administration, no member Of which was
ever known to put his foot inside of hospital
or bestov so much as plate Of soup on sick

to bring in the wounded-it is not to be expect
ed that such an administration should care fol
anything but the snubbing of men like Price
and Beauregard. Our political system makes

Europe OpenInG her EYes.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Comnsyeia advertiser, writing under date Of
October Oath, and mentioning, among other
items Of American news received, the passage
of the resolution of the Judiciary committee Of
the Confederate Senate in regard to President
LineOln's emancipation proclamation, says;
@This latter measure has served to enlighten
the people Of Europe more than any other event
on the real question at issue in the United States
Most people do not hesitate to declare that the
rebellion has received its death blow in this
proclamation Of Mr.. Lincoln; the chances of a
recognition are also now regarded as impossible,
while the choler Of the Richmond assemblies is
taken as proof positive that the measure is not
altogether useless, and that slavery aftsr all il
the institution which the South is defending
Were it not for the passion and the violence ol
the English press, the question would sOOn
change on the continent from purely partisan
to purely military character"

A PetrifIed Wan.

According to the Territorial (California) En-
terprise, apetrified man was found in the noun
tains south of Grayelly Ford. Every limb and
feature of the stony mummy was perfect, not
even excepting the left leg, which had evidently
been wooden one during the lifetime of the
owner, which lifetime, by the way, came to a
close about century ago, in the opinion OF q
savan who examined the defunct. The Enter
prise adds:
The people of the neighborhood volunteered
anxious to do so, but il was discovered wher
they attempted 10 remove him, that the water
which had dripped upon him for ages from the
craigs above, had conrsed down his back and de.
posted limestone sediment under him, which
had glued him to the bedrock upon which he
sat as with cement Of adamant, and Judge s
refused to allow the charitable citizens to blast
him from his position"

Another letter from the gallant and now de-
parted Kearney is published, concerning the bat
tie Of Williamsburgh. In this he charges Me-

vision, which in reality, he says, was what de-
cided the battle; and this hostility 10 Kearney,

marched through to Louisville, on half-rations.
On the first Of last month, started out after the
secesh; laid ~ miles from Peryville, while
McCook was getting his men murdered. After
that we followed them; passed the old battle
field Of Wild Cat, into the hills where they had
chances to kill us and we no chance at them.-
At every turn and defle they would turn and fire
on us then scatter. Thus we pursued 100 miles

GOV. Andrew on iho "Contraband.,


Gen.Dix, in command of Fortress Monroe, cor
responds with Gov. Andrew, Of Mass, relative
to sending TO Massachusetts five hundred "con-
trabands, saying that they had there more than
they deemed safe 10 keep, as the rebels might
make an attack and again carry them into sla-

Gov. Andrew, after declining TO receive them,
says to Gen. Dix that in his opinion the Old
Point Comfort acontrabands" should, in case Of
an attack be allowed to fight for their liberties
and thus become serviceable to tho Union cause.
He then enters into the general question Of
encouraging the negro to come North and ar
CUES the matter so pointedly, that we quote his
words. He says:
Contemplating, however the possibility of
their removal, permit me to say that the North
States are, of all places the worst possible to
select for an asylum. These poor people, ahoat
upon the world, are inhabitants Of Southern
climate, and have habits, and are subject to needs
and to peculiarities of physical constitution ac-
cordingly. Where, then, is the prudence ofhu-
manity Of subjectng them at once to the rigors
of northern sky, in the winter season, with the
moral certainty Of inflicting extreme suffering,
resulting probably in disease and death? II

The New York Evening Post says that when
the secret history of the war comes to be written
it will be found that no man connected with the
Administration has favored bolder or manlier
policy than Mr.. Welles head Of the Navy De-
Partment. He has constantly, from the very
beginning, urged creator vigor and boldness in
the prosecution of the war. He has favored the
appointment of fighting generals to important
commands, and has counselled bold policy ia
ward foreign governments not merely on paper
and as piece of bluster, but in the acts of his
department.
