just under the brow Of high and steep hill,
Just far enough from the noise and tumult Of

4 regiment of colored troops is now being
recruited at Columbus, denomtnated the ed
Tennessee artillery, Col. Adams. 1t already
numbers some 400men. They are encamped
near Tort Halleck. During our journey over
the works to-day, we came unexpectedly
upon thelr location. It was novel and in
teresthg scene. We had none Of Us ever be-
held ko1ored men IN regimenta1s bearing
armB. Here they were in full bloom. One
: ing struck the entire party. This WAS the
..ean4ncss Of their camp, and the order reign
ing there among the alleys, streets, pots and
kettles. Everything was in its place. Every
toueket was as brig hit as new milled half
dcllai. aud not the least to mention Of bright
things we're the faces Of the black soldiers.
Ne DID not see these troops drilled, but learn
that tley quickly acquire the manual of arms,

1t is the intention to learn the Cd Tennessee

ally, that they may garrison the place when
peace NAY be declared, Or defend it from in

be done by colored soldiers hereafter Is im-

for the occasion, and some to spare.

The immense subscription to the SEQ
U. +. Loan, as reported by Jay, Cook &
Co., the subscription agents, indicates not
alone the hearty confidence reposed in the
stability Of the Government, but that the
people are approaching the financial value
present and prospective, Of this class of Sc.
curities above all others The increase Of
the subscription keeps pace with the pulsa-
1ion Of the great popular heart, and points
uneringly as the needle to the pole, to the
secure foundation upon which the Govern
mcnt rests.
Financially, the advantages of this class
Of securities very marked. The inter-
est and principal are payable in gold.
There is no tax upon it, unless the inter
est from it exceeds 5000, and then the tax
is only half what it is on other securities
There is, besides, no local tax upon it.
Everything conspires to render this loan,
what it ought to be, great national meas
TIRE.
It is now uncertain whether the Secreta-
- "a G4&E A2EASAAj N4A N0ulk0uE LIS 8AlH
Of the fye-twenues after the first Of Aug
ust, 1868. It is to be hoped, however, that
in view Of our recent military successes,
and the consequent increased demand for
these securities, he may conclude to extend
the time indefinitely. This, however, is
mere conjecture, and We advise every one
to subscribe now. Every man who takes
these securities, takes stock in the Govern
ment, and lends helping hand in pushing
on the war to glorious success. Every
State, city, town and hamlet should be re-
presented By certain share in the national
loan. The great national debt of England
holds that empire together. The great ma
tional loan Of the United States viii be
equally strong in its influences upon this
country, and the more to be rejoiced ut, that
it is the voluntary selfodering OF the peo-
pie, testifying to their faith in the Govern
ment, the Administration, and the great
cause Of Liberty and Human Rights.

The Interior Of Richmond.

A gentleman, native Of Massachusetts,
who for the last three years has been resi-
dent Of Richmond, furnishes some important
facts relative to that city, among them the
following:
The defcnses abont Richmond arc very
good, the city being entirely surrounded with
2 line Of earthWorks, and IN some portions
t1ert are double Lines; but they are not ade-
quately m.nned, and but very few guns are
mounted. The number of troops in the city
DOES not exceed sixteen Thousand, which are
entirely inadequate for its defense against any
reasonable force that we might bring against
it. At no time since last summer has tue city
been in condition to resist an attack from
Lee .xets back there he will make stand,
COLLECT all the troops possible, and de-
fen1 the place. In regard to provisions
and the nccessaries Of life, everything
is very high. Pine wood WAS $2S, and OAK
s32 per cord; coal: $25 per load Of twenty
ard Is; lard, s1.50; butter, $s.5o-it lid
been IS 50, but as 4 supply wns arriving at
the time our infurnand left, it had fallen to
g 50 per pound. Small spring chickens we're
$3.50 and $3 apiece; potatoes 81 per quart;
onions, IS. small ones for 50 cents; and ali
Other articles at proportionately high prices.
Although o9r informant had a salary Of $500

for the mere necessarics Of living. Among
The poorer classes thero was much suffering.
The people were in very high spirits at the
time ho LEFT, as Lee had just crossed into
Pennsylvania, and It was expected he would
take Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton; but as to the general feeling for the sue
cess Of the Confederacy in their attemptat re-
beliion, or informant thinks one half Of the
people OF Richmond are for the Union, If they
dared to utter their sentiments, and have no
taith IN the ultimate ttiumph Of the Confede-
rate arms.
:, There is strong Union feeling there, and
1t will show Itself just rs soon as there is m
opportunity but strong despotlsm was ex-
eIcised o1er the people, and the slightest sign
Of Union sentiment was met with persecu-
tion and imprisonment. One man had been
IN prison thirteen months, on account Of his
Union sentiments, aud many others had suf-
frred shorter periods Of I'M prisonment, and
IN imprisonment too, the severest and most
terrible Kind Our informant left, because he
lad reason to believe that he would be COM
PEELED to take up arms or go to prison, and as
be did not Wish to de- either, he made his es-
cape. The condition Of things had caused
JEFF. Davies to call for new levies, and the
quota for the State was eight thousand men,
According to the provisions Of this cali, they
Were to dllu every week until the first Of
August, and we're not to be mustered into the
service, but kept for the defence Of Rich-
mond and Its fortffcations. This was mere
trick, however, us there had been several regi-
me1ts previously raised for the same ayoTed
purpose, and after they had been well drilled
they we're sent away.

The banditcchief was getting audacious. The
sycophantic fatteries Of his rebel friends and
admirers and q long course of successes were
fast making him think himself the greatest Of
heroes. Yet he was ever the hero Of the cloth
Ing store, the stable, the horse-pasture, and
the barn-yard, rather than Of the battlefield.
He did not win rcbel favor with his sword, he
stole it. He has fought when he thought It
absolutely necessary, but even then he has
Kept himself rs safe IS he could without dis
grace, never forgetting for a moment the im-
portance Of living to tight another day" Il
he has 'won his spurs" it has been By steal-
ing the quadrupcds that spurs are made to
propel But it mnst be confessed, that, by
his depsedations, he has given the friends Of
the Union more annoyance than any dozen
other officers Of his rank In the Confederate
service. His habit has been to pil!agc aud run,
Achilles lost his life By the weakness Of his
heel. Morgan has often saved his By the
sWiftness Of his horses heels.
At any rate the result Is glorious. The
overwhelming defeat of the rebel idol viii
carry griet unspeakable to the rebel heart,
The idol Is cast down and shattered. Hence
forth horse-desh ia comparatively secnre. A
salute Of ono gun should be fired before the
door Of every stable In the land, and all the
equine race, horse, mare and gelding, should
whinny and kick up their heels with joy. Even
the jackasses aud mules might bray their de-
Light ut their good fortune.

FRIDAY, JULY -, 1868.
GOV. SEYMOUR 4 STmpATHIAER
WITHT1{E RIOTERS.

The loyal and 1awloving citizens o1
New York cxccrate Cor. Seymour from
one end with the State to the other, as
sympathizer Of the hlood-thirsty Irish
Thugs, who how]ed, burned, plundered
and murdered through the streets, Of the
city of New York. "My noble friends"
said he, addressing the miscreants, " I have
sent to Washington to have the draft
stopped. Twill have the constituions1ity
Of the act tested by our State Courts, and
il they pronounce against the Law, I'll
support their decision by the whole power
Of the State"
This Is the South Carolina doctrine Of
State tights the right Of State to nullity
and set aside the laws Of the United States
enacted by Congress. Should the courts
Of New York decide as Seymour desires,
the State may be precipitated into civil
war with the United States, unless the
loyal people Of New York hang or i'm
prison the pestilent knave.
When the Executive Of New York said
that he would array the forces Of that
State against the Government, he gave ex-
preston to premeditated act He had
determined with malice aforethought so
to do. It was no new doctrine evoked by
the excitement of the moment. An ex-
tract from the Buffalo Express, published
elsewhere, warrants our assertion. 4 Col
.onel OF his own creation states that Coy.
Seymour and the Democratic party Of
New York were endeaYoring to obtain
the thorough control Of the State forces,
to resist the draft, and array the State
against tie Federal Government tin 9th
CT words, TO practically carry out the
doctrine Of secession. When Gov. Pick
ems said that South Carolina had full pow
CT to levy war, he did nothing more treas-
enable than Gov. Seymour, when he said
he should resist an act Of the Federal Gov
eminent. It was virtually saying New
York has full power to levy war. His an
nouncement only lacked the fulflment to
place it on an equality with the bastard
act that has sent Edmund Ruf1n down to
an eternity Of infamy. And as Coy
crnor Seymour spoke not alone for
himself, hut also for that party of which
he is the acknowledged oracle, it becomes
all loyal men to consider these things
seriously. We hare no fear that Gov,
Seymour can place the State Of New York
the loyal old Empire State-in condi-
ton of antagonism to the Government.
But the animus Of these men indicates
what they would do if they had the power.
Loyal men will see to it they never have
thHt mower.

The Value of Vicksbur~ to the

On the value OF Vicksburg. It was written
before the editor had received intelligence Of
the capitulntien.
On the 9Th of JnlY the Mobile and Mont
gome1y papers were speculnting on the prob
ability Of cutting of Grants supplies and de-
stroJing his entire command. Price had cap

to lose sight Of Vick6buIE. It Is true TINT tie

Of the enemy's property; By the other we lose
not only property, but prestige If Vicksburg
falls, what will be the consequence The
Confederacy Will be cut in two parts, Arkau-
sas, Louisiana and Texas, placed beyond the
reach Of succor or support, the Mississippi
river yielded to the Yankee, the State Of Mis-
eiesippi given up TO Iaids and ruin, and John
ston forced to fall back to the Bigbee river,
and perhaps to the Alabama. These results Will
assuredly follow the CAPTURE OF vicksbarg, and
yet NC doubt If msuy persons give more than
q passing thopght to the subject. We learn
indeed through the telegraph that all is going
on well, that Kirby Smiths torces have
possession Of Miiliken's Bend and Toung's
Point, that Johnston has possession Of Union
Bluff, on the Yazoo, and tina. the Yankees

then our forces are not only in front and rear,
