The Rfect4 Of the sVnr respectively in
fhe North and south.

The RGectz Of the sVur Respectfully in
fIe North and south.
A New York paper, in speaking Of the effects
of the war in the South, draws the following
borrifyiug pictures:
A more unmitiga'ed and violent usa Of arbi-
trsrv power has never bceB perpeuated tbn by
the leaders Of this revolt At least 0ue-hah Of
ths States declared to be out Of he Union we're
carried ont By force, against the votes of the
peOule, and by the want0n exercise OF usurped
legislative functions and ever since its origin
the Confederate Government has maintained it
self By the most 0di0u5 interference with pfl-
vate rights. Men are pressed into the ranks OF
its armies their property is seized for public
uses every expression Of Union sentiment IS
stihed by the baYonet the gibbst, the angry
mob or the bloodhound and spirit OF iaTocious
cruelty, of savage fsnaticism, Of impscab.e,
unreasoning brute fury drives them OF, like mad
men, to thsir own destruction.
This Abolition oracle then gravely contrasts
this picture with the "happy" condition Of the
North and congraiulates itself tba. business
and the various affairs of social life in The
North proceed with all their customary dscorum
and tranquility" To this remarkable declara-
don the New York World makes the following
rejoinder:

selligent stranger might be forgiven for asking,
"really proceeding with sll their customary de-
corun and tranquility in the Northern States Of

CULPABLE IF TR1E.-The correspondent Of
the Savannah Republican relates the following:
am informed by an officer of engineers that
if Gen Lee had possessed accurate Information
in regard to the approaches to the United States
ford, be might have intercepted the retreat Of the
right wing Of the Federal army, and captured OF
destroyed large portion of it. The country in
the vicinity Of the ford, and especially that part
Of it known Us the Wilderness, is interseeted by
numberess roads, many of which lead in the di-
rection Of the ford aud unite 8 short distance
from it. The river at this point Is bounded on
both sides by high rocky bluffs, between which
and the water the road passes down some dis
tauce to the ford below and then up to the point
opposite on the north bank. There was only one
road by which Lee could hope 10 advance and
cut off the retreat of the flying foe, be passed
between these overhanging bluffs, and that road
was nowhere laid down on tb, maps furnished
him BY his engineers VIII Gen. Lee dis
covered, too late, that there wbs Just such read
IS he desired, you may we'll believe that, mild
as be is, be gave the delinquent engineer who
had been charged with the operations in that
vicinity, regular blowing up 1t was a
similar error that prevented Bsauregard, Just
one year ago, from getting his arny into posi-
ton 10 attack Haleek near Counth, and which
prevented him, as I have always believed, from
achieving a signal victory.

The Houston Telegraph, of Nay 18th, con-
tains a narrative of the adventures of Judge
Nicholas Cleary, formerly Judge Of the 18Th ju-
dicial district Of California, and afterwards
United States naval storekeeper at Shanghai,
China. On hearing of the secession of Vir-
ginia, his native State, he forthwith undertook
to return thitheT, The journey had occupied
two years when he reached Houston, during
which time he encountered dangers, surmounted
obstacles, endured privstions and sufferings
that no ordinary man could have tTiUmphsd
over.
He haa travelled about 1000 miles by water,
over Il50 miles on foot By land, and in a ter
riblo country for foot travellers, and viii have
travelled fully 2000 miles besides in various
conveysncss, and all the time exposed to bard
ships and dangers of which ordiasry men can
have no conception. Besides this, he has sscri-
feed position, prOperty-sverything to offer
bis services to his native country in the war in
which she is now engaged.
Many of our people have taken q good dasl
Of pains to keep out of the army. We doubt,
however, if any nan in the Confederscy has
done as much to get oEt of or into the army as
Judge CleaTy has to offer his services to his na-
tive State We glory in his heroic fOrtitude,
and point to him as a bright example of the
stuff Of which the men are made who are now
striking for liberty in this the greatest war OF
this or any age.

GREAT SALT NINE IT appears from scisn-
s6c Investigation that the salt deposit sl New
Iberia, Louisiana, is Of the most extensive and
wonderful description. According to recent
Yankee accounts, Its vastness and purity is m
squallsd on the globe. One penny liner says
''Imagine, if you can, the granite quarry Of
Massachusetts,, or the marble quarry Of Vermont,
to be solid deposits Of pure rich salS, clean and
transparent as 80 much-clsaF white ies, in some
solid, inexhanstibs mass, underlying the earth
and You then acquire an imperfect idea OF the

r. YesdOn, Esq, Charleston, s. c.:
DEAR SIR: The question, proposed in your
letter, Of 29th ult., as 10 the allowance Of the
interest, in arrear on the 30 treasury notes, in
payment Of public dues, has never before been
submitted. By the terms of the act of April
18th, 1852. these notes bear an interest Of two
cents per dag on each hundred dollars, and said
notes are declared to be receivable in payment
of all public dues, except the export duty on
cotton.
The legal effects of the words "fl50 esnis per
day" is to make the interest daily sceruing
debt, and, when this is followed by direction,
that the notes are to be received for public Dues
it seems to be necessary legal conclusion, that
the accrued interest must attend the principal in
its office of paying the public dues.
l ara of opinion, therefore, that the interest
accrued, at the data of any payment to the pub
lie, should be allowed, whenever the 7 30 notes
are received for public dus. The notes, if re-
tanned by the holder, receive payment Of inter-
est, annually, on 1st January.
Very respectfully, G. G. MEAT8HNGER,
Secretary Of Treasury.
