From the Richmond correspondence
February 22d, } of the Mobile Advertiser,
we extract the annexed paragraphs;
HThe garroters who infested Richmond
q short time ago have fitted, and jolly
set Of Baltimore burglars have taken their
places. Three successful burglaries and
several attempted ones have occurred with
in q few days. Friday night dry goods
store was entered in the coolest manner,
and $4,000 worth of articles carried of
The thieves lighted the gas throughout the
store, removed the goods, and hauled them
off in wagons. The police were-around
the corner. Many doors have been bored
around the locks, but the rascals became
frightened before accomplishing their en-
trance. Well dressed Ballimoreans are
often arrested with 'augers and 'jimmies
in their pockets, but nothing can be proved
against them.
"Liquor is sold openly in the city now,
and is productive Of vast amount Of
crime. At every bar hangs a paper upon
which is printed, Blockade, IS cents A
small wine-glass full is measured out for
one blockade The number Of dens where
the vilest Of apple brandy is sold is aston
ishing. have heard Of no repeal Of the
Liquor law, and presume The Police, by
tscit consent have slaekened their vigi-
lance. Drunken men are daily seen IN the
streets, many of them dressed in the uniform
of Confederate officers; and the Mayors

We are indebted to our townsman F. R.
Elliott, who has been for some months in
the new Agricultural Department at Wash
ingtOn, for some valuable statistics regard
ing the pOmOlOgical and other agricultural
productions of the Northern States. This
information was obtained by means of cir
culars sent to each county in the Northern
States, responses having been received,
however, from only about one-haIf Of the
counties. Partial reports are received
from Ohio, New York, Missouri, Kentucky,
Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia,
Michigan, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Vermont Maine, Rhode Island, Indiana and
Illinois. The total of the partial reports
from these States show that there are $780,
1O1 acres Of fruit trees, aside from gar
dens; 9,47O4 acres in vineyards, not in.
cluding any vines grown in small gardens,

berries, &C., not including private gar
dens; 60,559, ,237 fruit trees in the cOun-

growing in nurseries, and 4,O91, ,652 grape
vines, growing in nurseries. From Ohio
forty-six counties are reported, not includ-
ing Sandusky and Hamilton. These two,
however, have been estimated by Mr. Elliott,
from personal knowledge. The report and

Iproeeedto to write you few lines. The
mail will leave in a few minutes. We
have passed into the Tallahatchie river,
and are some one hundred miles from the
place where we entered. Are now lying
within eight hundred yards of fort Of
the enemy, mounting six guns, twenty
four Founders. Yesterday evening the
Chilicothe rounded the bend, and, coming
in sight of the enemy, commenced shelling
them. She had fired but two rounds, when
a shot entered one of her port holes, and
killed four men and wounded seven. It
was planned for US to make a simultane-
GUS attack, and we were just opening the
fire Of our bow battery when this disaster
occurred. The army, consisting Of
men, had taken up their position.
A mortsr-boat has come up, and will
commence, soon, to she'll Immense pre-
psrstions have been made to guard against
the enemy's FIRE; have packed bales Of
cotton around; will surely win. Al our
approach the enemy burned a steamer Ia
den with cotton. Have tskeA from the
PlsntatiOHS great quaHsty of UUttUn.
The steamer which was burnt had been
up the river burning cotton. The river
we passed through Essfull of burning cot
ton. We are, et this moment, 2 P. NJ,
shelling the woods. The country through
which we hsEe passed is entirely desert
ed. The people fly at our approach. I
would not have missed what 1 have seen
for any money. Eight gunboats are here.
Two more will shortly arrive. We have
ten rams. The enemy have below the
ocean steamer Star of the West, Of Fort
Sumter notOriety. The people here are
all seeesh. We were not fired into once
along the river. Ali the boats are badly
used up. The country is inundated com
plCt,ly. As soon as we capture this bat
terry we will pass on to YazoO City. We
are all in good health. The news of the
capture Of the IndianOla causes depression
here. Some fifteen transports are here,
all engaged collecting cotton. Have just
senta number of the sick to the hospital

The New York Times has the following
timely remarks relative to tie prospects Of
foreign war and the employment of let
ters Of marque:
"The time, indeed, may not be far dis.
tsnf, when it will be both just and expedi-
ent to issue these commissions, not only
against rebel pirates, but against
the English flag itself. The last Con-
gress imposed no restriction upon the
authority of the President, for the express
reason that it recognized the possibility of
a necessity for making prompt reprisals,
upon the British commerce before the next
Congress shall assemble. There certainly
is such a possibility. If the iron-olad
ships which are now being built in Eng
land notoriously to depredate upon our
commerce, under the rebel flag, be al
lowed to quit British waters, the Govern
ment ought not to wait an hour after hear
ings of the first capture made by one of
them before commissioning American YES
sells to make reprisals. At the last adVices
the Ministry had been interrogated in Par
lament respecting the destined purpose of
these vessels, and chose to answer that
my A0G AZ 7AOe9NA yANOA 0I eAAD .ouBICOIs
"The same answer was given respecting
the Alabama, just prior to her leaving the
Mersey. Judging by that precedent,
moral certainty founded on oircumstantial
evidence, such as governs the ordinary
conduct Of States as well as of individuals,
is not sufficient in this case. The proof
must be sifted and analyzed, and refined
and sublimsted into the very highest in
dubitsbleness known to metaphysics; go
that the chance will be thousand to one
that the pirates shall be well under way
outside Of the Channel before the process
is completed Our Administration, if il
have a drop of American blood in its veins
and we know it has plenty of twill
stand no such trihing. The quiet tolera-
ton Of one such imposition is quite enough.
The excuses concerning the Alabama
were treated with respect, because it
was possible to reconcile them with good
faith; but, after that lesson, the default,
if repeated, can admit of no excuses, and,
if such are made, they will deserve TO be
treated only with contempt. The launch
ing of those vessels upon our commerce
from the shores Of England, should be
taken by our Government on the instant
as an act of deliberate war on her part
against our commerce; and her own COM
merce should be made to answer forit.-
The President, instead of being persuaded
TO put his letters of marque into the FIRE as
the rubbish Of q bygOne age, we trust will
always have them within arms reach
And it would not be amiss if he were to
direct Secretary Welles-if he must sleep
at ALTO sleep upon the Life of Paul
Jones, as Alexander slept on the nliad"

Mr. johnson reported back his resolu-
tions, asking Congress to so change the
military laws as to allow volunteer COM
psnies in the service of the United States
to elect their own officers, recommending
their adoption. he argued the propriety
of the measure, on the ground of consist
ency with our representative and elective
governments aud the constitutional pro-
visions Of the State organization.
"Mr. Humphreyville advocated the
adoption of the resolutions on the ground
Of hardships suffered by regiments in hav-
ing men placed in command totally unac-
qusinted with the men, from different parts
Of the State, when there were competent
men for every Office belonging to the regi-
ment.
"Mr. Robinson suggested that as the or
ganization of companies and regiments
was q State Office, it might be more proper
for the Legislature to enact law to secure
this object than for Congress to do 3d."
The resolution was adopted-yeAs, 10;
nays, 8.

tiOn, resembling the resolution providing
