n The Richmond correspondent Of the
Charleston Mercury says that a lady has arrived
in Richmond from the North, who states that
Wall street has shut down upon Mr.. Chase.
The same correspondent says:
Hugh Peasants, the Polybius Of tho age,
shows from history that Wellington did not
achieve any greater victory than our generals,
and proves thatL-e, in six months, accomplish
ed more, in tho way Of killing, woundiag and
capturing the enemy, than wellington did in
bis whole career. Thus London Times Rus
sells sluf in the Arny AID Nasg Gazette, upon

General Price, It is said, comes here to confer
with Governor Reynolds (who did not lose his
place as a State officer BY accepting a position

Napoleon avows fatty his determination to
arrest the southwark progress of the listed
States. He defes the Monroe doctrine, and gives
Yankee Doodle en excellent excuse for another
war after the rebellion IS crushed. Moreover,

I~nconlmittce of the whole, the house adopted
g rssolotion nos 70 exempt persons whoss-spb-
slitulas had deserted, or who had them elves be-
cone Liable to military duty. A similar resolu-
ton IN regard to persons making twenty bushels

there seemed to be a disposition TO refer the
whole matter Of exemptions, like most other
af.irs to tho discretion Of tbs President.
The departure Of tho British consul from
Charleston is thought by some to indicate an
early attack on thst city by the Yankees while
other wiseaeTes regard it as conclusive proof Of
var between Great Britain and the United
States. The Bhig is evidently uneasy about
Charleston, Savanpah and YieKsbUrg. Az the
blockade is raised for neutral nations, it is
necessary 70 capture ChaTleston-or try.
