country, and to give death blow to all

FISDRa a BROTHER AMONG THE Sc
oEsH.-A gentleman from Iowa was in
town yesterday, having heard that
brother, who went South few years
since, had turned up among the Secesh
prisoners confined in Camp Randall. Up
on visiting the camp he found he had
been correctly informed. This brother
was there, having been taken ia arms
against his country. He disavowed all
sympathy with the secession cause, and
asserts that he was impressed into the
service. He formerly resided Tor some
ten or twelve years at Waterloo, in JEFF
ferson county, in this State.--Aad (Ris.)

suGering in the city.

tits a melancholy fact that the poor
we have with us always. Even in the
most prosperous seasons, when work is
plenty and food and clothing cheap there
are in all cities many persons who, from
various causes, suffer for the want of
both food and clothing. 1t will then
readily be conceived that very unusual
number of families at this time, in our
city is now afflicted with the sorest pangs
of poverty. There are many widows
who have no way Of supporting them
selves and their families but by daily la
Dor, and there is nothing for them TO do.
There are many stout healthy men who
depend on their tr AIDES, or jobs of work
to obtain bread and clothing for their
little children, and they can find no en-
ployment. The war has either annihi-
lated their business or it at least has re-
duced it to One-half or one fourth of what
it formerly was. For weeks past we
have not stepped into the Governors room
at the Capitol, without finding widows in
tears, piteously entreating some assist
ance to save them from starvation.I A
gentleman informed us recently That a
sober, steady laborer came to him inn
plOring some work. Said he, al
have been out of work for weeks,
and Ihave nothing to look to, to help my
family along except my daily wages. l
have been travelling every day in search
of some job, butt can find nothing TO do.
| must find some way to keep my wife
and children from starving before my
face, and if this state of things lasts
much longer shall be forced to steal"
What must be the mental agony of an
honest, industrious labOrer from whose
lips SUCH words could be wrung? He,
like hundreds Of others here is anxious,
eager, greedy for employment; but this
damnable rebellion has destroyed their
sole means of subsistence. We asked
our friend who has many opportunities
for seeing and hearing Of such cases,
how many similarly situated families
there were in the city. He replied that
there was no telling, but that he could
safely say--hialdreds Only think of it,
you who are blessed with plenty, that
there are hundreds OF families around
us on the very verge Of starvation !
Marketing Of every kind is enormously
high, and many necessaries and comforts
are quite beyond the reach of one who
earns only seventy-iive cents or one dol
lar per day. Some prompt and eifectual
steps must be taken TO relieve this dis
tress of sufferers whose misfortune is no
work of their own. Humanity demands
imperatively that helping hand be ex-
tended 10 them. Now, let us ask right
here what has caused nine tenths of this
disaster? We answer The rebellion. And
who are chargeahle with melting the re-
bellion? We answer again, men whom
we see riding every day through our
streets and who are living luxuriously
at home RECALLING themselves with every
indulgence that Epicurus himself would
desire. And these very men are now

In the State of Missouri there are a.
632 persons owning 114,931 slaves-an
average of little over four and a half
each. Douglas county is the only one
in the State in which there are no slaves.
There are twenty -four counties in which
the number of slaves is less than one
hundred each, the average being about
forty-six.
And Vice President STEPHENS turns to
the white nom slaveholding population
who constitute about for'y-aine fttieth8
of the population of Missouri and coolly
tells them, Gentlemen, the ideas of
JEFFERSON about mans right to govern
himself were fundamentally aOrong;" Sla-

We see this enormous falsehood trav-
cling the rounds of our exchanges. OF
course, it's baseless, impudent lie. It
is as barefaced a falsehood as the state

to make the loyal people unwilling to

General BUTLER has the faculty of
using the right language at the right
time. During recent interview with
Mayor MONROE, the latter remarked that
" he (Gen. BUTLER) had always been
friend of the South" The General here
interrupted him with the following re-
marks "StOp, sir; let me set you
right on that point at once. l was al
ways a friend to Southern rights, and an
enemy to Southern wrongs"

Confederate nehf.

We see it stated that the Confederate
debt is S41O,OOo,0O0. This is little
more than the Federal debt, but it must
be recollected that nearly all the materi-
ais of war ammunitions, provisions etc,
with the exception of what they have
stolen, have cost the Confederates far
more than the ordinary prices. War
fare with the rebels is a peculiarly ex-
pensive business. However debt
never troubled JEFF. DAVIS. His rule is
always to repudiate when you possibly
can.

bearer Of Gen. Grants official report Of the
battle Of Pittsburg. lie left the army on Fri
day night. Gen. Halleck arrived there that
day, and Immediately assumed command.
Gen. Grant in his official report, estimates
the Federal loss at l. 800 killed, and $500
wounded. An estimate of the Confederate
loss cannot be made as many must have been
sent TO Corinth and other places. Our loss
in artillery was great, many pieces being dis
abled by the enemy's shot-sOme batteries
losing all their horses and many of their men
Not less than two hundred horses were killed
CHICAGO April l4.-The special correspon-
dent of The journal says:
General Van Dorm did not reach Corinth
till the fight was over. II is now believed,
by the latest arrivals from Pittsburg, that the
Confederate force ia the action numbered
$1,000 men.
The Ninth Illinois regiment could count
but two hundred effective men on Monday
morning, the Eleventh Illinois only forty Five
and the Twelfth Illinois only seventeen men
No battle is expected for some days yet
The heavy rains have made the roads impas-
