HOapITALlTES.

Some of orr contemporaries have permitted
themselves to be disturbed by the fact that
Mr.. Russell, LID, Barrister-at-Law, and
Special Correspondent OF The London Times
has. within few days, been entertained ut
dinner. Mt the Club House, by some OF the
members of the New-York Club. 1t seems to
MS that the objection is not well taken. The
correspondent has abused us very heartily, has
yfed, misreprcsented and traduced us; me
Londoa inns has followed the lead he has
given it in his public, aud probably IN his
private letters and the result has been, Thai
the hatred of the English people has been
turned against US, and the two nations nave
very nearly--and may yet-become involved in
a disastrous war. We do not mean TO say
that Mr. Russell is responsible for all this;
but be is responsible, rs far as any one man.
with so limited capacity for truthful observ-
alton, can be for such great results. But are
we to forget the amenities OF civilized war
farel Must we not conduct the war, on our
part, without passion Can the members OF
the New York Club DO better than follow the
example of the solid men OF Boston
"Noyer," said Mr. Faulkner, when in this
city. on his way home from Fort Warren
:" Never have been treated with so much
" attention" All the Boston gentlemen
seemed to vie with each other a. to who
should send to those civic guests, Messrs.
Faulkuer Mason and Sldell, the choicest vines,
the most delicate game and fruits, sDd the
best editions OF the most entertaining DOCKS
Shall we be outdone by Boston, lt was then
misfortune, in that city, that Mes'r'. Mason
aud Slide took their departure seward, and
the opportunity to give them public dinner
in Fancul Hall was lost But We are more
fortunate with o distinguished guest, and d'
not TAIL in the rights OF hospitality

III. The exhaustion Of the rebel States is ex-
treme. Food is scarce and dear throughout.
Salt is forty to sixty times as dear as in the
Free States. Gunpowder is worth - per
pound in Richmond, and is dear and scarce
throughout Jeiilom. Such Injuries as Ten aud
Coffee ore confined to the few. The most IN
dis pensabIe Medicines are not to DO had. The
Currency is q joke, ranging from % to 81 per
cent. below the specie standard, and really
worthless. The grcat majority suffer for the
bare necessaries Of life. And oil the bard
ships hitherto borne are steadily reaflng
with no rational prospect of removal save
through restoration Of Union and Peace.
Such are soiae of the facts gathered
during conversations with our Union soldiers
recently released from captivity at Richmond
which Justify our hope that the collapse oil The
rebellion is at hand With vigor and ability
IN the conduct of our Military operations II
surel, ought not to survive the close ct next
lime.

We print elsewhere a circular, signed by
William Cullen Bryant, William Curtis Noyes,
and other gentlemen, recommending form ol

gentlemen are trying TO get abolished, but

former. Having. in COMMON with large NUM-
bers of the most conservative men IN tnc

alternative is presented 10 Ia either To sacrhce

Mr.. WcliIe of Kentucky woud not answer
the question whether he preferred the perpetu-
alton of Slavery to that Of the Union, which
was put to him in tho debate of Monday, in
the House of Representatives. By Mr.. LcvejOy

dearer to him than tho national integrity, or
the preservation of Republican freedom. Do

While there is u general acquiescence in the
.oppage Of specie payments by the Banks, as
a measure of the necessity Of which the Banks
Themselves are the best judges, prohibition OF

measure is beginning 70 be talked about and

To refuse To- pay our foreign Indebtedness IN

moreover, gStiiy that intense bitterness OF
feeling which possesses the people Of England, at

their disposal long debate sprung up, the
chief speaker being Mr. yalandisban Of Ohio,

offensive, with his simulated patriotism. He
was indignant on account OF tho surrender Of
Mason and Slidel and was willing to have the
United States go to war with England. Inas
