CRIMINAL COMPARISONS

The statistics of crime in the U. S. shows
Of the white population, one in 1000 confined
in the prisons Of the land while Of the free
blacks of the eastern sta es they show the
number to be one in $40, at the w,st one out
Of SAP, and ofthe south one in 800, while of
the SLAVES imprisoned for crime: the number
is only one in 10000. Comment upon these
facts, astounding as they are to all the fanci-
full and fine spun theories Of abolitionists is
unnecessary.

DESERVING N STRAGGLING.-In a circular
recently issued by a Major General to re.
cruiting officers, sent from the camps to
gather up conscripts and desertcrs, we find
the following language:
There is reason to apprehend that in
many sections the people. either through a
mistaken sympathy or in ignorance, are en-
couraging and abetting assertions and stray
glings from the army" The writer very
justly concludes, in a subsequent part of his
circular, that +" the cause is lost when the
people at home cease to lend their hearty
cooperation in maintaining the efficiency and
supporting the discipline of the army" 1t
is the duty of the people at home, as they
value the success of our great struggle, and
love those whose duty it is to defend the
cause, to give their active assistance and CO.
operation, not only in securing volunteers,
but also in inducing the laggard to return
to duty. Deserters and ~stragglers will not
be allowed to escape the penalty of their de-
linquency, and it is a fatal error both as to
them and the cause, to encourage them in
keeping out of the army. See Gov. Vance's
Proclamation in this paper.

The Lynchburg Republican of Tuesday.
says that a rather severe fight took place at
the Rappahannock bridge, in Culpeper
county, on Friday last, between a por-
ton of Hampton's cavalry and a body of
abolitionists, who had been sent to destroy
the bridge. The vandals partially succeeded
in the + design, but before it was fully executed
our men came upon them and after a hot
fight drove them off, with the loss of four
killed, some eighteen or twenty wounded,
and thirteen prisoners. Our loss was one
killed, seven wounded and two missing. The
enemy was pursued some miles from the riv-
er, but so rapid was their fight, that but lit
tie damage was done them on the retreat,
nearly all their loss being sustained in the
tight at the bridge.
The bridge was a new one, and not ola
very substantial character, and we learn that
only a small portion of it on the north bank
OF the river was injured. If necessary it can
De repaired in a few days.

The EXEMPTION BILL.-The present Congress

GENERAL MEADE IN TowE.-This distin.
guished officer arrived In the city yesterday,
and, OF course, all sorts Of rumors became rife.
We stated yesterday morning that Meade had
been ordered to pursue Lee and give him bat.
tie. We gave the item as a rumor, although 1t
was well founded. We now learn that he was
positively ordered to pursue Lee and make him
fight. From the fact that no engagement has
taken place, since the Generals arrival in the
city, all sorts OF rumors have been set afioat.
Some are to tre effect that he was to be removed
unless he led Lee into battle, and that, failing
in so doing. he has presented himself for thu,
object BE this as it may, we learn that he has
informed the President thft he cannot make a
forward movement under three weeks at least
on account of the condition of the railroad,
which has been utterly destroyed. It will take
at least sixteen days to replace the bridge at
Rappahannock station, and, until that struc-
ture is rebuilt, no extensive advance can be
made. In connection with this subject we NAV
state that it is rumored that Ewell's CORPS has
been sent TO reinforce Bragg Chronicle.
