Vice in Washington.
From the Washington Star, Nov. l.


The statement that there are fifteen thou
sand prostitutes in and about Warrington
has been repeated so often as TO be accept
ed as truth, the swarms OF them meeting the
eye at every turn seeming to afford full cor
roborative testimony to the allega!io The
numbers, however, appeared so incredibly
enormous that we have felt disposed to
make some inquiries in regard to the mat
ter, and find that though the army OF pros
titutes here is feariully large, il does not
approach the loose estimates alluded to
above The number Of white prostitutes
housed in the various wards may be set
down at the following fgures;-First ward,
$50 Second ward, 5lS; Third ward, lO5;
Fourth ward, 200'Flfth ward, $40; Sixth ward,
200; Seventh ward, 45O Total, 2,3l3. The
number of these resident in Washington
before the wa was about $50. The colored
prostitutes now in Washington and housed
are set down at l,542, and of this number
sey neighths have been Colonized since the
war broke out At least third of the
whoe number, white and black, are street
walkers Of character of unblushing indie
cency never before known in Washing ton;
and are colonists from New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and some few froR
W estern cities The whole number ofpub,ic
prostitutes of every grade and color in
Washington will not exceed five thousand
of whom not more than tenth resided in
the District Of Columbia previous to the
war. There are anumber of females sailing
under false colors af1oat here, and who, nm
I'll they are found out, frequently manage
to quarter themselves at respectable board
ing houses and hotels. ltwould be difficult
to estimate the number OF these, but it is
not largo enough to materially swell the
above estimate. Adding to this estimate
the number of prostitutes in Georgetown
and Alexandria, the total will not, we in
cline to think, reach the half Of tilteet
thousand The showing at best is not al
agreeable one, but it is some satisfaction
to know that il is not quite ha So had a
represented.

"Bury me at Lexington, in the Valley OF
Virginia" These words are said to have
been uttered by that great, good and la
mented man General T. j. Jackson, just
before his death and in accordance with
his sacred command, all that is mortal Of
the most renowned and successful military
genius that the war, or probably modern
ages have now produced, now lies inferred
within the walls of the Presbyterian GENE
try located IN the south western suburbs Of
this delightful village. Nothing marks the
suot where his mortal remains lie to distin-
guish his grave from that of others, save q
diminutive Confederate flag, notlarger than
a lady's handkerchief
This tiny emblsm is fastened to stan
not more than two feet long, and placed at
the head of the grave, and there waves, as
if to illustrate the modest pretensions OF
the great hero of the Valley of Virginia
Close by his side small grave is to be seen
which contains the remains OF his child,
who died few years ago, and not far dis
tant is the grave of his first wife, "Elinor,
the daughter of George and Julia Jukln,"
with plain marble slab at the head. bis
late residence is situated near the eLd OF
the town and like every thing else planned
by him, is modest and unpTetending.-Re0eS

B.F. NJ, army correspondent OF the Chr

Tennessee, says: ...... E.s..F
I Shall never be done admiriDg the patrl'
otic faith and undying devotion OF the loyal
women of the LAND, but must tell you that
the rebel women of the South are worthy
in every thing but sacred cause OF their
Northern sisters. There is nothing they
will not surrender with smile; the gem
med ring, the diamond bracelet, the rich
wardrobe. They cut up the rich carpets for
soldiers blankets without sigh, they
take the fine linen from their persons for
the bandages. When 400 Of Longstreets
men came up to Nashville, prisoners Of war

in the building they occupied fell, killing
and wounding large number of them, you
should have seen the fair young traitoresses
come forth from the old aristocratic man
sions, bearing restoratives and delicacies in
their hands, mingling in the dingy crowd,
wjping away the blood with their white
handkerchiefs, and uttering words OF cheer;
should have seen them doing this, with hum
dreds of Union soldiers all round, and smll
ing back upon the rough blackguards OF
rebels as they left. But in all there was a
defiant air, pride in their humanity
STRANGE to see Ola truth they carried it
off graandly. And almost all those girls were
in mourning for dead rebels, brothers,
lovers, friends, whom these same girls had
sneered into treason and driven into rebel
lion, and bIlowed all the South with their
graves. and the least they could do was to
wear black for them and ilsunt black from
the window blinds. Clothed be their souls
in sackcloth! | said they Were worthy OF
their sisters at the North, in all but right
eous cause, but said wrong. There Is
bitterness, there are glimpses OF the Pytho'
ness, that makes you shrink from them: But
they are fearfully in earnest; they are al
most grand in seIf:sacrifce. Oh! that they
were true and loving daughters of the old
flag.

An Old Proverb Verified.
From the Richmond Sentineb Nov

From the Rlcnm0nd oentineij NOV. i''l
"Cheating luck never thriges,'' is school
boy proverb that Mr.. Lincoln has illustrated
in his attempt to gain an advantage as 10
the prisoners captured by the two beliger-
ents In order to deprive us OF the benefit
of prisoners captured by us and paroied in
Pennsylvania he established as rule OF
which he afterward notified us, that prison
ers captured must be reduced to actual DO,
session, and offered for exchange either at
Vicksburg or City Point, and that no more
paroles would be binding unless contracted
for by opposing commanding generals.
This rule however, came out too late TO
cover the case in Pennsylvania, HAieh call
ed it forth, and to which Lincoln seeks H.
apply it; but it came just in time to re-
lease from their paroles six thousand Coa-
federate pryates captured at Port Hudson,
and discharged on their parole by General
Banks. Lincoln, in the attempt TO gain an
advantage by a sudden expedient, has failed
in his design, and has released the paroles
Of probably as many as ten thousand Con
federate soldiers. He tried 60 cheat luck,
and luck cheated him.

1t. Col. N. G. WATTS, Mobile, Ala
SIR: All the prisoners taken at Port
Hudson and those paroled by Gen. Banks,
are free to go to duty. Neither our Goy-
ernment nor the Federal, recognize the pa
role. A general order to this effect will be
issued in few days. All Confederate prls'
oners who have been delivered at any other
point than Vicksburg or City Point can
Immediately return TO their commands,
where such delivery was made since 23d Oft
May last.
You need not recognize any parole given
since the 23d of May last, which was not
in pursuance OF distinct agreement made
between the commanders OF the two -op-
posing armies. Prisoners must be reduced
into possession and delivered either al Ficks
burg OF City Point, unless there is some
distinct agreement to the contrary made by
the commanders of two OF the two oppos-
Ing armies"
The deliveries made at Mobile or Port
Hudson will not be recognized. All such
can Immediately return to duty. The Fed
erals have forced us TO assume this po-
sition.
There is no danger to our people IN re
turning to duty, because tho Federals re-
cognize the full force of the rule and ae=
auiesce in it. They have done the same

The Fight Near LswisbHrg.

LYNcHBuRG, Nov. 10.-The special cor
respondent of the Lynchburg Virgsnlan
gives the particulars of the late fight 26
miles west of Lewisburg.
Five thousand Yankees, under Averill,
who came from Beverly, attacked Jackson.
The latter fell back to the point named,
and was Joined by Echol, and severe fight
ensued Our loss was heavy. Among the
killed are Major Bsily, commanding the 22d
virginia, bis body is in the hands OF the
enemy. Uapts. Rudner and Ruffner, of the
sane regiment; Capt Thompson, of the
same regiment, with all his company Off
GERS. were wounded; Lieut. Rand, Of the
same regiment, wounded and in the hands
of the enemy. We lost one piece OF artll-
lery, and saved all our wagons Gen. Ech-
oil, hearing force was approaching from
Kanawha to cut him off, fell back towards
Salt Pond Mountain, and passed through
Lewisburg on Friday evening. The force
expected from Kanawha arrived there the
mkt morning.
A Federal Movement on the Peninsula.
The Eraminer has the following in refer
ence to affairs on the Peninsula
1t appears that the enemy on the York
peninsula are again making a demonstra-
ton. Information was received yesterday
morning by parties in Richmond that they
were in considerable force, consisting of ca
yalry, infantry and artillery, at Diascund
bridge. 40 miles east of Richmond, on the
williamsburg road, and that they were
moving on Richmond The object of the
demonstration doubtless is to distract Gen
Lees attention and embarrass his move
ments by threatening his communications
and it is probable that these are some o
the same troops that made show OF land
ING on the Carolina coast last week. II so
their numbers are augmented by the addi
ton of Spears cavalry, white and black,
