Perhaps your friend Bonner of The
Ledger would like TO be counted in. Ii is
a rare chance, and the stock no doubt
will be sold cheap.
A merchant of this city, lately arrived
from the interior of Mississippi, de-
scribes the people as suffering great
hardships. He says they are not so rab-
id, nor do they halloo so Justify for jeff
as they did when he was there year
ago. He has collected large amounts of
money owing him, and bought cotton
with it. Cotton can be bought for Sc
per pound Confederate money. Large
quantities have been qurnt along The
Tiyer banks and for twenty miles back,
from Vicksburg downward. Flour at
Jackson, Miss, is $40 per barrel coffee,
81 per pound tea, $17; women's shoes,
Sl5 to SIT; mems, $25 Along the line
of railroads is crowded with Jews and
spectators buying up anything they
can to get rid of Confederate money.
They even propose TO buy your watch,
cont, or hat. He sold an old felt hat for
S25 Confederate money. Fresh meat is
20 cents per pound My informant
was at Vicksburg, where he stsid for
some days. There is no large force
there; but for twenty miles around they
are camped, and it is very dilIlcult to
form any correct notion of their mum
brs. To ask questions on such matters
excites a great deal of suspicion.

The LADIES ARE AFTER THEM We
stated last week on the authority of the
Dubuque Times that over eight hundred
Dubuquers had filed exemption papers
from draft with the surgeon. In a late
copy Of the Times we notice that the ladies
Of Dubuque have petitioned Gov. Kirkwood
to send hall a regiment of surgeons to
their city to kill or cure the disabled men
of Dubuque, or else remove them to place
OF safety in case Of an Indian or rebel inva-
sion! If the conscicnccs of these skulks
can survive the scorn of the ladies of their
city, they certainly are impervious to
any demonstration short Of one of Je-
hovah's thunder bolts, and We can scarcely
restrain the hope that some Of them may be
admonished in the way just pointed out.
