Bad State Of Things i'm Washington.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Traveller paints an unpleasant picture of
LIE in Washington
Il is useless TO deny that the war las, in
a measure, polluted the tastes of the people,
bringing, as it has unmistakaby, a train of
evils to the doors Of Washington previously
but little known, until it is saddeniag to be
hold the utter degeneraey of the people, par
ticularly the middle classes, to-dav. The
stranger cannot fail to observe the large num-
Der of jabbering foreign rowdies who congre-

Many of these fellows are exiled vagabonds,
who are here on the lookout for The first dis
honest government official who has something
to sell. 1t makes no difference whether the
property be confscaied furniture, captured
horses or quartermasters or eommisssry
stores, the purchaser has no principles TO lose,
AMI why should be be scrupulous in making
bargain. There are scores of professional
gamblers here from New York, PHILADELPHIA,
Baltimore and Boston. plying their arts most
dexirously to inveigie as many unsuspecting
officers and soldiers as possible into their
mesbes, after the paymaster has been round,
and in which, am sorry to say, they often

lures covered with chalk and rouge. Half
intoxicated rowdies roll the streets in open
carriages, smoking their cigars and shouting
indecent language. In fact, gambling, icen-
tiolsness, drunkenness, and every species of
evil, run riot throughout the city, until now
oroiisscy reisns supreme. / would like to

The Atlantic Telegraph.

1t is quite possible that We shall vet live to
witness repetition of the jubilations of few
years ago, when England and America Joined
hands across the Atlantic, and the British
queen and American president felicitated each
other upon what seemed the greatest triumph
of the age-the completion of the Atlantic
telegraph. The qualification however soon
died away in disappointment, for the electric
current, that had been wont TO play among
the clouds, scorned its watery bed and refused
to comply with the wishes of science. But
out of failure comes success, and, nothing
daunted by the result of the first experiment,
the projectors of the enterprise went bravely
to work TO ascertain the defects that had oe-
casioned the failure and if possible to remedy
them. Too much praise can hardly be be-
slowed upon our OWL countryman, CYRUS W.
Field, for the untiring energy and persever-
ance he has manifested in this matter. He
has never had doubt of the final triumph of
the enterprise, and has labored Increasingly
to interest Others in the same direction.

Nevada.

The greatest danger this country has to
fear is from the Emperor of the French. Had
We lost the battle of Gettysburg he would i'm
mediately have recognized the confederate
government, and in this he would have been
Joined BY other European governments.
No living man better understands the con-
dition of our Western borders than the EN-
peror of the French. When visiting Cali
lorna, Line years ago, | returned by the
Nicaragua route, and the most reliable infor-
nation 1 could obtain with regard to the pro-
jected lnteroceanic canal, was from a paper
written by Louis Napoleon. He has long
had an eye on the rich mines of Mexico, and
he waited till our country was in trouble to
commence the invasion of Mexico. If the
rebellion had not broken out il is not proi.a-
bic he would have dared to invade that land.

best documents on the condition of the mines

peror. He was looking at the degree of

In refer ence 20 the wealth of Nevada, the
bishop sid tneie was nothing like it in all
the earth. There IS gold and silver enough
in Nevada to pay all the war dnbt, if If should

Instead of one of iron, aid TO plate our mon

may finally become exhausted and less valu-
able, but in Nevada there are no signs of ex-

the richer they get. Such prize of wealth
never was matter of contest on earth be-

be great deal more strat-lac and serious.
She was great in church-going, uncommonly
proper, and could talk religion and morality

whims or tempers, she was capable of doing
hard or sly things which her husband would

call lady-like; well-informed, too, out OF

nature, and strongly inclined to censorlous-
ness and jealousy.
TIE daughter, Miss Letita was expected
to fill her mothers place in the world OF
youth aud fashion, and the girl had some
beauty, but no resemblance to either of her
parents. Her complexion was remarkably
dark her features had foil, almost coarse
cast; it would have been treason to say so,
bat they slightly approached he negro mould.

and order We close with an extract from an
admirable article in the Boston Post, the
Democratic paper in Boston, and asked our
readers to compare its loyal sentiments and
advice with the voices uttered by copperhead
papers in this region:
A kind encouraging word from others may
now be of great service. Employers, instead
of encouraging their subordinates to seek out
loopholes of release, should encourage them

places are kept open for them. An indscreet

discourage enlistments, and to oppose the en-
rollment were crimes, but it is now infinitely
more criminal to discourage from service those

The Surrender of Vicksbury,

The correspondence between Gen. Grant
aud the rebel Gen. Pemberton, in relation to
the surrender of Vicksburg, as published in
our columns few days since, was incomplete.
Gen. Grant, after private interview with
Pemberton, stated in writing the conditions on
which the surrender should be made Penn
berton proposed certain amendments to the
conditions laid down. As the correspondence
was published it looked as though these
amendments were acceded but the following
omitted correspondence shows that such was
not the fact:

burg:

by you cannot be acceded to fully. 1t will be
necessary TO furnish every officer and man
with parole signed by himself. which with
the completion of the rolls of prisoners, will
take sometime. Again. can make no stipu-
lations with regard TO the treatment of citi-
zens and their private property. While do
not propose to cause them any undue annoy
ance or loss, cannot consent to leave myself
under restraints by stipulations. The proper
ty which officers can be allowed to take with
last evening, that is, that the officers will be
allowed their private baggage and side arms,
and mounted officers one horse each. If you
mean by your proposition, for each brigade to
march TO the front of the lines now occupied
by us and stack their arms, at 10 A. NJ, and
until properly paroled, viii make no ohec-
tons to it. Should no modification be made
OF your acceptance of my terms, by o A. NJ, /
shall regard them as having been rejected and
act accordingly. Should these terms be ac-

Gg- What a loggerheaded set of dolts
were those men who framed the Constitution
of the United States, that they should have
set forth as the grand purpose and end of their
efforts, the formation of more perfect Union,
the establishment Of justice, the insurance of
domestic tranquility, the promotion of the
general ,oe!fdre, and the security Of The bless
iRgs Of liberty TO themselves and their pos
terity. Would the Copperhead statesmen of
to-day be guilty OF such folly? Never! They
have found out that the object of the Consti-
tuition was to uphold negro bondage, and to
secure to one class of men the liberty to hold
and to fog, brand and work them to their
hearts content,

Mr.. EDIToR:-It has been suggested. in
view of the present condition of our city and
as many of our young men are shortly to
leave for the seat of war, to have the mayor call
meeting of citizens with view OF forming
corps of old soldiers. Take men that are
over 45 years old, but still vigorous and
healthy, and let them be drilled by some of
our old officers who formerly commanded our
militia. Such corps would perform valuable
service in case of emergency. NJ
