Gen. Banks's Army SubsIsting upon the
Enemy,

a letter from Gen. Bankss army to the New
Orleans Era Of the 10Th ullimo says:
Gen. Banks has subsistcd his army wholly
upon the enemy. There is plenty Of meat
poultry and corn in that region Of country, but
our boys have to 20 without their hard bread,
rs the rebels have done for a long time. Flour
is 500 per barrel up in that part of the coun-
try, and for the present our brave fellows must
put up with corn bread.
The enemy is scattered and pretty well used
up; but it is anticipated that lie will make u
stand in the vicinity Of Alexandria.
THE section Of country thus occupied by
our troops is the richest aud most productive
portion Ofthc State. 1t is, in fact, the garden
of Louisiana; and as the traveller approaches
Franklin hg begins to realize the wonderful
beauty and fertility Of the great plantations
around him. 1t seems as though nature, desi-
rous to compensate him for the dreary scenes
through which he has passed, has clothed the
land with matchlcss loyeliness and fertility.
From this section the rebels have drawn their
supplies for the army at Port Hudson.
"Hhe people who have not been forced into
the rebel army are heartily sick Of the war, and
the great mass of them are ready to take the
oath Of allegiance to the United States"

A Question Settled.

The question, "Did the Romans wear draw
crs 70 is said to be settled, through the finding
of a man in Pompeii with pair of drawers on,
which he evidently hadn't time to get off when
he retired on the last night Of Pompoi, after
having seen tho first exhibition of Vesuvius's
fireworks. The Romans did wear drawers of
some kind, as appears from what Is said by
Madame dc Barrera. Thet clever lady, in her
agreeable work on Gems, &C., says; The
very garters of the Roman ladies were splendid
trnkcts, on which gold, silver, and precious
stones were prodigally employed. Sabina the
younger possessed pair of garters valued at
nearly 10000, on account Of the rich canoes
that ClaspCd them. The patriCian danes, in
their mad endeavors to rival each other in this
species of ornament, spent large portion Of
their fortunes. The garters of those days were
not used to fasten stockings with-thG Romans
having no stoCkings-but kind of drdlgerS of
linen. Sometimes the garter was worn on the
naked leg, as bracelets are worn on the arm"
The Lady Sabina, when wearing her cameo
claspcd gartcrs, was ahead of Miss Kilmans-
eggo and her Precious Leg, for she had a pair
of 'em.

fair Coburn's superior talent in the art OF

nine rounds without a scratch.

"Thc match was made up in Washington
several weeks ago, and was first made known

WHAT DID 1T.

Our telegraph advices from New York to-

There arc two causes for this:
First. The statement of panic-stricken cor
respondent, issued in an extra, to the effect
that Sedgwcli has rCcrosscd the Rappahannock
and that Hooker has retreated.
Secondly. The news from England, which
reached New York to-day, looks threatening

CASE OF CoNsCIENCE.-Somo eighteen
years ago a lady Of this city received letter
from from her brother, in Hartford, In which
was enclosed, at the time of sending, the sum
of 500. The money, however, had been ab-
stractcd before the letter reached Its destina-
tlon, and all attempts to discover the guilty
party were fruitlcss. Nothing was heard of II
until, day or two since, the lady was called
upon by gentleman who had received the
$iOO through the hands Of third person from
the party who was guilty Of the robbery. The
latter was soldier, and when lying at the
point of death in one Of the hospitals near
Washington, made confession of his guilt, and
after narrating the circumstances, said he was
unwilling to die without making restitution.
So the money was placed in the hands of a gen
tleman coming North, and by him sent to the
rightful owner.-NorCi& (Conn.) Bulletin.
