The exports from New York for the past
year amounted to the unprecedented SUM Of
two hundred and thirty-nine millions Of which
fifty two millions were in gold. Part OF this
great increase in the exports is due 10 the de-
probation Of the currency, and is, therefore,
more nominal than real The imports for the
year are one hundred and eightytwo millions
gold valuation, and probably DO not quite
equal the exports The receipts from customs
exceed fifty one Millions OF nearly million

exists upon single foot of territory over
which the proclamation extended. Sla-
very being dead, it can never be revived
by any act of the general government, for
it has never been held by any party that
Congress has any right under the consti>
tuition to establish slavery. The abolition
of slavery in the seeded States is an act
growing out of the rebellion. The rebels
by taking up arms against the government
have forfeited their slave property. 1t
logically follows that the general govern
ment, wheneyer the rebel States express
a desire to come back into the union, has
a right to signify upon what terms and
conditions such request can be granted =
Would it be just to the people of the 10y
al States, to allow or permit the rebels to.
bring back with them into the union.
s1av0y, the great cause Of the rebellion. Is
it sound policy to bring to life the monster
that has filled the land with mourning,
that has slain our young men by thousands
and loaded down the nation with taxation
to an extent hitherto unparalleled and un-
known Do we desire to galvanizc into
life the viper that has been for years
gnawing out the vitals Of the republic !?
We answer no, ne7er. Let us have
hereafter a free government, free from
the communicating influences of the viiest
institution that ever disgraced Gods fair
heritage Has not this wicked rebellion
cost us enough, without rcyiving its cause
and transmitting it to our postcrity p
Another express condition should be, the
eternal lisfranchisenent Of all the leaders
IN the rebellion. from evel after holding
any office whatever under the State o-
federal governments. The national Con
gress must never hereafter be disgraced bv

have suffered as a nation and people
from this rebellion, it is useless to make
peace except upon permanent, enduring
basis. 1t is no part Of wisdom to entail
upon postcrity, the pcrils through which
we are passing. Let US leave to oul
| children a free government.

The Scare in Rich III Ond.

a prisoner Confined in Castle Thunder,
says that when, in the latter part OF June
and early in July, General Dix was
reported advancing on tie city, he knew
three thousand men could, without oppo-
sition, march into the city. He overheard
rebel officers say among themselves that
they could not command q thousand
soldiers for its dcfcrcc. The rebel author
tiles knew it equally we'll, and resorted to
every dieice ard artificc to make sonlc
show OF force in front. Quaker guns were
mounted in some OF the batteries, and
tents, Tor which there were 40 occupants,
were hoisted, to have the appearance Of
camps. The citizen militia were ordered
out Soldiers from the armies OF the
Gulf or Southwest found in the city
Of fnrlough citizens, including all arti
sans, mechanics, merchants, lawyers, doc
tors and divines, the old and halt not cx-
cepted foreigners, with French and
British "protcction papers" in their pock-
cts the convalcscents of the various
hospitals, and the vagabonds confined, aud
wearing The ball and chain for divers
offences, in Castle Thunder, were all forced
into the ranks, to meet the approaching
foe. Scores OF cyprlans donDed male
attire, and, eager for the fray, placed
themselves shoulder to shoulder with the
heroes. On the 2d July, when the Union
forces haG advanced as far as Tunstall's s
Station, on the York River Railroad, ali
regarded the city as lost. Not a store. or
business place ofany kind Was open. The
Richmond aud Petersburg and Richmond
and Danvillc railroads were, day and
night, engaged in conveying government
machinery and property to points OF
greater security. During this excitement
ard panic the newspapers alone, or such OF
them as had compositors enough left out
of the militia to prepare a sheet, maintained
a defiant tone and they boasted of force
enough not only to repel General Dix, but
to capture his whole army.

DRAFTED MEN GIVEN TIE SANE
BoUNTIEs AS VoLUNTEERs.-T There are
few who understand that the provisions of
the conscription act place drafted men Cd
terms of equality with volunteers, giving
them the same Government bounty, the
same title to pension, the same pay, the
same everything. When the statement
has been made heretofore, many have
discredited it; and to end all question
upon the subject, we quote from the act
itself:
Sec. .. And Le nyi9ther enacted, That
all persons thus enrolled shall be subject
for two years after the first day of July
succeeding the enrolment, to be called
into the military service of the United
States, and to continue in service during
The present rebellion, not however, exceed
ing the term of three years and when
called into service ''shall be placed on the
same footing in all respects, as volunteers, -
for three years or during the war, ssinclu-
ding advance pay and bounty as how pro-
vided by law"

Harbor is up to the morning Of Wednes-
day last, 10Th inst. At that time the
bombardment of Sumter was kept up
vigorously the fort was much damaged,
her walls having been shattered in many
places by the Parrot shots her guns
replied slowly and irregularly. Fort
Gregg had been silenced; Fort Wagner
was still firing. This agrees substantially
with the Ilchnsostd Wings dispatch,
dated Thursday, which represented the
Union firing of Wednesday as having been
terrific, and the fate of Sumpter SO certain
