UHdine Engine.

Jh Editor-In reading the communica-
ton in your last in reference TO the pro-
posed purchase Of the Cndine Fire Engine
| notice the writer has made some state
ments that are not strictly correct. The
Undine Engine company ask the city to
appropriate $500 mot SlSo0) and take
possession Of the Engine and hose. This,
with $500 heretofore appropriated, would
make the total cost to the city $1,000.
The city council, in their deliberations
on the subject constantly argued the ex-
travasant price of the Undine Now let
me give some figures that will tell their
own story. The city paid. two wears ago.
Sl5G0 for the Niagara Engine. with 200
feet of hose; and afterwards purchased for
the same engine $1,000 worth more hose
making $500; Yet they consider the I'm
dine extravagant, with 650 more hose than
the Niagara had at $4,000. In plain Figures
the relative cost of the two engines to the
city, with an equal amount of hose, may
thus be seer by this formula:

LOST AND FoCYD.-On Monday, Mr.. Henry

business. On returning at 3 or o clock.

bills and put detective Crane to work
Finally, on Wednesday, he heard that his
team bad been found hitched by the side
of the road, some miles from Ottawa, in
the town Of Grand Rapids. 1t appears it
had been taken in mistake for his own
team by q resident in that direction, whose
powers Of perception had been slightly
dimmed before he left town BY undue
rotations of bad whiskey. 1t was but a
fair exchange, as the ob!uscated individual
had left his own team, quite as valuable
in place of it. His only mistake was, in
not bringing NJ. Trude team back as he
returned 10 Ottawa 10 recover his own.

Another Rebellion" in Yankee Land

The Yankees, says the Charleston Mercury, are troubled with another "rcbellion," and their mili- fary forces have been summoned to put it down. t is new and other rebellion than that in the Sonth. and is by way of distinction, called '' The Coal Miners Rebellion" It precipitated by an outbreak among the coal miners of the SchuyI Kill region in Pennsyvanil, and is only the begin ming of the many rebeIlions " that must soon take place among the poor and laboring classes of inc North from the effects of the Poverty and destitution are sorely pinching the artisans and laborers of the North, and what We read here from the New York Herald, is but picture of the hundred " strikes" and "rots" that this war must bring about between the poor and rich of the Worth The correspondent writes ot the outbreak on the Schuylkill:
 have just returned from the scene of hostilities in Scbuvlkill county, having accompanied the military force thither. Since my return upwards of two hundred additional troops been ordered to Minersyille and also a battery ot ho"ltZerS, malIino in all about four hundred soldiers, fully sunDlied with sixty charges each, and food for an ;ndefnite period Four other companies Tn the IInited States service, connected with Coi. W m. H Yeaton's regiment of militia, are under arhlS' and awaiting orders to move.
 IL is possible that the fears of the county aulpo- rites and of the mine owners, have magnlfled Ihls difficulty; but it is evident that the mutlneers are numerous determined, and well armed, and only need the will to make long and vigorous defense

Two More Infamous Decrees.

In the True Delta, of the 7th, we have two more precious documents from the petty tyrant who is cutting such fantastic tricks in New Or leans.
 The first is the suppression of the Delta and the Bee for styling the burning of cotton on the part of southern planters an act of patriotism. Butler denounces 1t is vandalism, and the pa pers must so style it or succumb.
 The Delta office has been seized and will her, after be used as the organ of Butler,
 The second order CT decree, intereres with private contracts, declaring that after the 27th of May, Confederate money shall cease to be medium of trade, and that all real estate or property which may be sold for Confederate money after that time, shall be seized, and the proceeds shall accrue to the benefit of the United States.
 This is the protection to private property SC profusely promised. We glad of it, however. We are rejoiced that P:cayune was sent tc govern the southern emporium. He is just the man above all others to teach our people important lessons, which it Is necessary in the working out of the grand scheme Of indepen dence they should learn. He is splendid teacher, and we presume New Orleans has made fine progress in the alphabet of liberty. Perhaps she would not be ready another time to fall under the yoke of a Yankee monster Experience is dear school but New Orleans would't learn ill any other.--atSstsStPp'a

THE EVACUATION OF YoRKTowN.-The Mo- bile Adrertiser and Register says on the sub ject
 We learn that Gen. Johnston fell back from Yorktown because he discovered that Mcclellan did not mean to fgbt him fairly, but to protract the issue by regular approach and siege opera tons. Gen. Johnston could not afford to waste so much time and strength of his army by await ing the moto-hke operations. It was difficult to supply his army at Yorktown, and his men were being worn out in the trenches. He prefer red to take stand where Mcclellan would come after him and give him manly fight It is believed that if the Federal Napoleon had at~ tackled Johnston in his Peninsula lines, the Yankee army would have been annihiated.
 Gen. Johnston Is at the head of powerful army-equal to that at Corinth. We believe the Federal numbers are over,estimated at both points.

Ambulances are slowly driving from the wharves to the hospitals filled with brave fellows, whose emaciated and sorrowful appearance, as they are seen reclining on their hard cOuches, call forth from every heart capable of teeling most intense anxiety for their restoration to health, and a sin cere prayer that the Almighty God will stretch his hand the devastating horrors of the battle field and proclaim peace and good will through out the length and breadth of our unhappy land In this connection will state little incident which occurred esterday while several of the rebel wounded prisoners were being placed III ambulan- ces. preparatory to their removal to hospital, wherein kindness and tenderness, may be assured, will be their lot As one poor ieil0w-reoel though he was-was being placed in the wagon, he was roughly and harshly assailed by an itl-bred, heaven -foIsaken scoundrei Of m ambulance driver, whose soul must be utterly devoid of every sense Of humanity. The rough language was overheard by federal soldier, who, moved to pity by the sorrowing counteuance Of the wounded sufferer, and with high sense of those delicate feelings which peryade the soul of almost any human be- ing attacked the brute of q driver and, to use an expressive term, administered to him q sound {" drubbiaT"
 The insane proclamation of General Phelps and the villanons proceedings of the Pathfinder ? are fully equaled by General Hunter in his legitimate procamations setting free all the slaves Tn the states under his department. There aremany who do not believe that such proclamation has gone forth; but reasoning rom the deHSht mlllItSled by abolition members of congress, well as the matter-0t-course manner in which they talk about it, it is proper suppose that not only is the Hun ter proclamation a reality, but there is probabil ity that he has been moved and instgated by the devil as a representative of the abolition members of congress, who openly and everywhere avow, in addition to other measures bearing a tendency to suOyert the government, that negroes make good soldiers and jaajm citizens.
 These and otbar mee.4.el, ssah as repeating of the fugitive slave law, which, it is stransly serted will be very shortly brought before congress- will produce consequences most direlul in their re- sults. general concess on yields to the hope that the president, careful of the property of the tnon under the most trying circumstances, will turn his back upon all such oiious enactments, and wth the skill of the mariner, oft tempest-tossed, steer the good old ship of state clear from the breakers of diversity and ruin into the calm waters of pros pcrity and continual success

EXCHANGE OF PRsoNERs.-The Richmond Ex- aminer of the 22d has information that proposi- tlons have been received by the government, through Gen. Wool, at Fortress Monroe, for |. general exchange of prisoners of war. The pro positions offer, basis of exchange, the cartel adopted between tho United States and Great Britian in the war of l9l2; and also offer to ex- change our privateersmen on the footing of the prisoners of war, the surplus remaining on either side to be paroled without further conditions. It is proposed to exchange the prisoners at City Point or as any other place the Confederate States eo- yernment may designate It is supposed that there is sight surplus of prisoners still remaining on the side of the North. There is no doubt that the proposition meets the views and wishes of our government, and it is to be hoped that there will be no perfdy developed in the arrangement, as was the case in the negotiation with Gen. Howell Cobb so II @ months ago.

The Last Yankee Notion,

The New York Post which thinks that the South is at the command of Lincoln, is showing how it IS to be cut Up and made available for Yankee appetite3 They will begin presently to quarrel as to the mode of doing this. The Posts plan respecting the cotton States is no- table and noteworthy, ant Is cOntrived especial lv in order to relieve the invader from the pres sure of his national debt and, as stated in the r est, for ' permarvnt holding of the South iu the iron grasp of tho nnicn, and forcing he, to pay the cost Of the gar.' Thus the plan Is Set forth;
 At convenient points lay out tracts from the forfeited lands, of 10000 acres each. Lay out these tracts in squares, as near as may h6 and let each of these tracts be the homestead of a body of a thousand men--saY regiment of infantry, battery of artillery, and squadron ot cavalry.
 teach angle of the square of eight miles, which would be about the size of a O,000 acre tract, would place Q redoubt with few guns. In tho center place fort large enough to feed a garrison of a thousand men. Here could be the quarermaster's stores, the shop, etc., in fact the village of the homestead.
 l would divide the tract into forty acre farms. as near as might be. On them the soldiers could work when off drill and raise crops, by the aid of free negroes or o,herwise-theae negroes being in . state of apprenticeship. Such troops would need little pay; they could nearly main tain themselves. They could be made by the effect of military discipline, to treat thl appren- tices kindly and to work regularly, and they could help collect the war tax.
 l would cover the revQtod States with a cheQuer-work of these surtiued homesteads- let the white squares on a chequer- board repre- sent vacant lands-the black tho fortified ones The loyal whites and freed blacks could occupy the vacant lands.
 If the rebels + great numbers should hold out ln ""-.volt and take to the swamps, acting Us guerilas, would drill the blacks as light in- fantry, and send them to clear tie swamps ana canebrakes Such black soldiers would be safer to loyal whites than their own slaves, and would have marauding and any other seriou; outrage punished with instant death

A YoUTHFUL HERo.-Among the many youth. ful heroes who fell dying or wounded, at the battle of Williamsburg on Monday, 5th instant was John Tyler Waller: the same who at Lees burg received the appreciation of Gen. Evans for his heroic conduct.
 Young Waller, (l4 years of age,) belonged to the gallant ' Home Guard" of Lynchburg Capt.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer, May P Washineton CorresOondence.

WASHINGTON, May IT, lSG2.-This city at the present time presents a more formidable aspect of bustng activity than has prevailed for a conside- rab.e length of time. owing to the influx of great number of released Union prisoners from the filthy and dreary dungeons of the rebel cities. wherein they have been so long incarcerated, well as rebel prisoners, who, although not vet at liberty, doubtless the parole of many will be given,J still add to the energetic appearance of things in the metropolis.
 The hospitals are everywhere crowded with the s'ck and wounded of our own intrepid soldiers, as well as the misguided men who nave been taken prisoners by the power they should never have lf- ted hand against.

M ALTERS AT VICKsRURG-Two of the onamv,s

MATTERS AT VlcKsBURG-Two of the enemy's gunboats amused themselves for three or four hours yesterday evening, by throwing shot and shell into the heart of the city. About hundred ard twenty five missiles were thrown during that time, but comparatively few of which appeared to be directed at our forts. We have heard of no casu- aties beyond considerable damaging some private residences, and one two of our churches. At ten o'clock last night the hour at which we write the firing still continued Our forts have, as yet, made no reply.
 We learn that no federal troops were seen on the levee yesterday opposite Warenton-they had all been taken on board the vessels.
 TIE FEpERALs KrDNAPPING.--We learn that the federals near Warrenton, are stealing the negroes from some of the planters in that neighborhood. We suppose they take the negroes and make cooks of them.-Vicksburg Whig, May g.
