the Richmond Examiner, July 19l


The following table of the prices of the

The citizens of Richmond are completely al
the mercy of band of foreign-born hucksters
Matters have come to that pass that every
mouthful we eat, except bread, must come
through their hands, and be doled out at theiI
exorbitant prices. Nothing but mob law offers
any hope of getting rid of them. This method
of purging the markets we do not recommend
but the day is clearly not distant when it
adoption may be necessary. People cannot b.
starved to enrich few Irishmen and Ger
mans. The sight of hnckster hanging from

of life than the combined powers of the city

war for the "extension and perpetuity of

New Orleans is taken. Well, you who live
far away cannot comprehend the delirium
this has raised. Before surrendering it, the
planters burned their cotton, their sugar, their
steam cotton presses and their refneries
They preferred this to coniscation and the
thought that their goods would enrich their
enemies. But-shame, and shame unparal-
leled-they also burned their stdUesi Think
of the degree of insane fury TO which they
were carried. They preferred to burn their
slaves rather than see them emancipated.
Those who committed this atrocity-unparal-
leled in history, particularly because it did not
hurt their enemies-those who did this deed,
called their inofensive blacks together, and
sent them into the workshops ard locked the
doors; the fire was lighted and quickly did its
work, while the masters waited outside TO
shoot with their rifles the child, the old man,
the woman or any man who might leap from

but what are hundred millions of francs to
the hetacombs of the servants who by the
sweat of their brow, supported their infamous
masters. The sacrifice Of life and property in
this terrible war is absolutely inealculable.
People have fought with courage, with hero

gion, philosophy, system and nation-l mean
the claim for slavery universal and perpet-

This revolution will in time be regarded a:
the great feature Of modern history, not only
because it hastens the freeing of American
slaves but because il furnishes the most won

IT is related that during the campaign on
the Shenandoah one of Fremonts batteries of
eight guns, supported by squadron of horse,
was in sharp conflict with battery of the
enemy near at hand, and shells and shot were
flying thick and fast, when the commander Of
the battery, German, one of Fremont's staff.
rode suddenly up to the cavalry, exclaiming,
in loud and excited tones, "Prtng up de shack
asses, pring up dc slGckasses; Tor Co.'s sake
hurry tp de shackaSseSP The necessity of
this order will be obvious when it it known
that the "shackassesp are mules Carrying
mountain howitzers, which are fired from the
backs of that much abused but valuable ami
NAL, and the Immediate occasion for the
"shackasses" was that two regiments of rebel
infantry were at that moment discovered de-
scending hill Immediately behind our bat
teries. The "shackasses with the hewitz-
ers loaded with grape and canister, were soon
on the ground. Tho mules squared them
selves as we'll they knew how, for the shock.
A terrific volley was poured into the advan-
cling column, which Immediately broke and
retreated. Two hundred and seventy-eight
dead bodies were found in the ravine next day,
piled closely together as they fell, the effects
of that volley from the backs of the shack

"NoT DEAD YET."-Two rather singular
cases of remarkable escape from living burial
are related as having occurred subsequent to
the battle of Fair Oaks. The body of colonel
was found on the field and brought in. Ar
rangements we're made for embalming it. The
process includes the use of galvanism. The
shock was given. To the astonishment of all
the colonel rose and walked forth. The other
case wss also that of colonel who was found
dead on the field. In Difference to his rank
he was brought to the hospital and laid among
the dead. His friends prepared to give him
decent burial, and were about to carry the
body off, when the colonel rolled over, and in
tones more like those of man drunk than
dead, called out, "Ben, John, where is my

ENGLISH GIRLs.-The English gi

ENGLISH G1RLs.-The English girl
spends more than one-half of her waking
hours in physical amusements, which tend
to develop and invigorate and ripen the
bodily powers. She rides, walks, drives,
rows upon the water, runs, dances, plays,
sings, jumps the rope, throws the ball,
hurls the quot, draws the bow, keeps up
the shuttle-cock- and all this without
having it pressed forever upon her mind
that she is thereby wasting her time
She does this every day until it becomes
habit which she will follow up through
life. Her frame, as natural consequence,
is large, her muscular system in better
subordination, her strength more enduring
and the whole tone of her mind healthier.
