Matters look about cheerful as n graveyard
The heaviest business is done in Government secur-
ties that is, -four, pork beef and beans, for the use
Of the army which securities arrive daily in large
quantities from Ship Island, and in transports and
store-ships directly from the North. As we before
told YOU the currency proclama,ions Of Gen. Butler
had very modifying effect the condition Of the
poorer citizens, but there continues the system
attic pauperism there was here ak weeks ago. Thers
is no confidence here among the merchants, many Of
whom secretly wish that our army were driven out
Of the city, and some that we have spoken TO believe
they will be elected before many weeks but Of this
there is no just grounds for apprehension. We sup
pose you would not publish the number OF troops
were we to give you list had ready to send you.
Az you stroll down Camp and Canal streets, and
other leading thorougbfares, you can see the sore
keepers are only "playng store, US the children do
after school hours. Their whole stock is in their
windows. They open late and close early, and seem
Indifferent whether they cell or not; and if you pur-
chase any Of their wares, they can't make change
unless you choose to accept of pieces Of paseboard
of some corner grocer down in the French part " Of
the town. The hotels are gradually opeDng-two
more took down their shutters since last wrote
but their prices hIgb and have been detrimental
TO weak appetite. The Restaurants are just a
remove from being abominabe, or simply absurd"
as facetious friend remarked the other day, when
we came out Of one Of them, minus II so, and plus
mouthful Of rank butter and come skinny beef to
boot No one can indulge in an excess of gus;a.ory
joys in this barren hot towD at the present writing

luscious vegetables here, but they 20 TO high figure.
You can get good dinner at the St. Charles Hotel,
kept or controlled by Gen Butler, but the charges
$40 day for the ffth-story, and 81 for the "sky

part Of hotel and restaurant Keepers for they have
10 pay so barrel for -four, ana beef is 10 cents

MAGMA CHARrA AND THE CONSTITUTION -.
Mr.. Bingham, Vi Ohio, very clearly showed
In reply TO the argument Of Mr.. CritLend.,u, Of
Kentucky, yesterday, against the bill abolish
Ing slavery in this District, that civilization had
advanced somewhat in Ave centuries.
The Magma Charta OF the thirteenth century
wruug from the unwilling hand Of King John
which Mr.. Crittenden quoted, only threw the
protecting arm OF the law around The lille, lib
erty, and property ot " ireemep;' but The bet
ter charter-tbat founded upon the principle,
ol the immaculate Teacher, and signed by the
ma'chless Washington, at Pbiladelphia--gave
the protection oi the Government TO all per
aons-ctizen and stranger alike wherever the
Constitution oi the United States b.s exclusive
jurirdiction; that it recognized /" all mou az
free men before The law, entitled, Of right, to b..
protected in life, liberty and property. The
legislation proposed was in the spirit and let
ter of the Constitution, humane and just; and
as the jurisdiction Of Congress, in the District
is exclusive, II should be adopted.
The bill passed the House 80 to %, beint
more than two 10 one.

should have pressed, quickly ON the heels Of our

have poured a frcsh aud powerful army into
our cOuntry through the road opened by the
fall Of Fort Donelson, and We hold II to be good
evidence Of the discretion aud sag,ci,y of Gen.
A. s. Johnston that he retreated u, he did from

suspect that the enemy would have the stupid

SEvERING FAMILY REIATIOSs.-Soms very
distressing cases Of the severing Of family rela
lions have recently occurred here, by the re.
movals Of slaves out OF this District.
These removals have been stimuli ted by the

Shareholders were justified In removing their

was Inadequate II has represented that Ger.
tain sum was fixed as the maximum Tor any

gress have only fixed the maximum Of The
average 10 be paid.
We noticed yesterday the removal OF slave,
who leaves here his wife aud children his wife
being free woman.
Under the circumstances, these aflicting sep.
ara'ions haviog followed (although not legiti

appropriation will be made to enable the Pre-
