There is much valuable property here that
nigh, bs destroyed by fire by internal enemies
while The Hsrsians in front were giving EN-
pluyment to all the energies of our brave VOL
un:eeIs. An ounce OF preventive is worth
pound Of cure.

The Saddle on tie Right Horse.-It is a
little surprising thst Journalistic reference
canno. be made ~ the black spirits Of ma
tionalisT without thu white spirits immed-
ateiy considering Themselves attacked and
maligEed This extra sensi.iveuess would
often give journalists much mental trouble
were they not used to it's exhih-
ton. For our part, ii any one should throw
a fools cap out of a window among a multi
iule, we should regard ourselves as afflicted
with an unnecessary mania for folly, did we
stop, pick i. up, ana place it on our head
C.ilch us doing that. Bat there are people
who will insist that such a paper ornament
was iutsnfed tor them, and thereat grow
fie.cely irate. WHAT wou!d the owner of
stud oil horses thiak of a groom who per-
sisiertIy put The saddle on the wrong horse
AuG yet, every where, we find people indug
ing liz his folly whenever soma OF the bad
and upprincip.ed OF II nationality are meu-
toned III the columns Of a newspaper
For example: We referred tba other morn
ing 10 an unpatTiotic number CT German Jews,
and even Eatiye Americans, besie9ing the
Passport Office, eager 10 get out of the city,
lest The glnhcats of the Yankees ehou.d come
mp ana render their precious lives uLsafe.-
Gi.ees cur ast"pishnant when we were met
by come genuinely good snd patriotic German
Jews, who Imagined that they were placed in
the same category with ,hs weak hearted be-
siegers of the Passport Office, who, by their
actions, proved thai they mad the deer's heart
and the woman's hand. Now, we are not
without knowledge that among tie nation
alily spoken of, the South has WARM and earn.
est friends, and are, therefore, surprised that
any such should feel that our remarks were
Intended Tor them. AS well might an hon
est attack on old Scout, and the rest of the
Southern traitors, tho have shown their status
III this great war, be construed into All attack
on the patriotic OF Virginia and her sister
Southern States.
Confederate BoadS--As will be seen bv HE
announcements elsewhere Mr.. Gwathmsy, of
this city, has 4 considerable amount OF flour
which lac ia DESTROYS Of exchanging for Con
teaerats bonds. Not only ths papers, but pub
lie and private report, have given 8 number Of
people cre0it for an extra desire to md them
selves CT the apscies of currency referred to.
III SEINE instaoces keepers OF retail stores have
refused 10 take it. Such a course of conduct
caunot, under any circumstances, be coDsid
cred vsry patriotic, and must in the end, if
persisted in. result i'll the destruction of the
public credit aud downfall Of all our hopes.
Tie refusal 70 receive payment OF debt In
Confederate money Is prtma jacSe evidence of
latent infideiity to the Southern cause. The
currency is tho siBew of the war, and it
should be the care OF all TO sustain it at any
hazard.
B0itim0re.-Eecent letters received from
the Monumental City by her exied citizens
now here, give the most satisfactory assurance
of the stats OF feeling there. The people only
wait 81 opportunity TO give their oppressors
quad pro quo tor their brute force oppression
whioi is exhibited on every occasion by the
miuiOnr OF Lincoln. 1t cost Il fAiIizsn there
recently several days imprisonment for being
charged with drinking Gen. Beauregards
health. All liberty is Irodden under foot by
Shs iusolent creatures OF the Abolition depot
| at Washington. Yet the people keep the faith,
and will before the war is ended rise in their
| might and terribly avenge themselves. None
