a magnificens appearance We cannot too highly
compliment the band of the 18th. 1t is, proba-
BIZ, the very best attached to the army Every

One hundred men belonging to Col Mercy

We learn from public sources that Captain
J. NJ bradshaw. of this city. who is post Quar-
termaster at ST. Louis, has been fulfilling his du-
ties we'll. When Capt. Bradshaw took charge Of
shs department. Gen McKinistry of St. Louis,
turned over to him 800 horses and 2 500 mules,
which fed at an expense to the Government
at a costof from 4Oito 50 cents per day. Captain
Bradshaw is now feeding the animals at cost of
only 20 cents day. which is great saving to
the Government, and all the horses and mules
are recruiting admirably. Capt Bradshaw is the
right man and the capable man in the right place
MIR. Stearns, distilier of Richmond, Vir
GINA. is making about four thousand dollars
day clear profit on whisky. and could make five
thousand dollars day ii he would exert himself.
The demand for whisky is great that every
gallon is sold as soon as il is made. So says the
correspondent of the Charleston Mercury.
The President Discussed WITH THE Do
NorHrsG PARrY-The New York Euening Post
says:
Our advces from Washington give US reason
TO believe that the President is much displeased
with the delays which have of late attended our
military movements, some of which, If We rightly
conjecture their nature, are planned on scale
answerabe to the vast extent of the Instruction
and If executed with anything like adequate yigor
and skill. must be followed by the most import
ant consequences.
The Wing says that Vicksburg is turning
out from eight to ten brass cannon per week.

The telegraph has already announced the
capture in the gulf of vessel laden with 10000
stand of arms The Houston (Texas) Ne,cs says
the prize belonged to Mr. Zacharie of New Or
leans. and carried powder and munitions of war
in addition to the weapons above mentioned. 1t
cleared from Havana to Matamoras and was
taken off Brazos. The Ne,cs thinks, as both the
above ports belonged to neutras, the vessel was
not liable to capture.
"A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writing about matters at Louisville and Cairo
says:
Lousviles heavy sacrifices TO the rebellion
have failed tn modify TO any perceptible extent
the hitherto prevailing tone of feeling, simply
because the majority of her citizens like the pro
slavery people everywhere, lay all their troubles
at the doors of the "Abolitionists Incapable
of seeing any thing bad in slavery they alike see
nothing 10 condemn in its worshipers and henc,
the "Abolitionists" come in for pretty much al
their anathemas.
If il were to come to a question of LETTING
slavery the Union slide. at least two thirds o
the voting population of the city, as near as
can ascertain, would embark their fortunes witt
slavery. The other third would probably elm
untinchingly to the old flag.
Very few of the business men of the pac
know where they will land when the devastating
tide of war subsidies. for all more les
involved in the general losses.
