the Virginia Congressman who settled Il
point of honor with o. Jennings Wise,
Esq, about four years ago, according to

short distance from Milliken's Bend, Louis
lana, which the rebels have entirely des-
poiled and plundered. He claims 20 have
lost 100000 by the rebellion, in one way
and another He has letters from the
President, authorizing him to buy and
ship cotton to any amount, in order to
compensate him for this loss. What a
benevolent thing it would be in the Pres
ident to authorize every man who has lost
by the rebellion to buy and ship cotton to
compensate him for his loss! We should
instantly be nation of cotton buyers!

Hunter Rewarded and Disgr aced.

Major Gen. HUNTER went to the South
ern coast amid great flourish of trum-
pets. He failed neutrality-suspicious.
plishing only single success, in the re-
duction of Fort Pulaski, and that move
men. was planned even to the minutest
detail by Gen. SHERMAN. He returned to
Washington and would thenceforth have
been left without command, had not the
administration had some dirty work on
hand, which he was peculiarly fitted to
execute. He was, therefore, made Presi-
dent of the Porter Court Martial; and
having carried out the orders of the Adj
ministration in convicting PORTER, he was
rewarded by return to his old command.
This time, as before, he has shown utter
incompetency until the government for
very shame it would seem, have been
obliged to remove him. We have no doubt
of the propriety of this step; but it goes
to show that the administration, while it
relishes the wrong against PORTER, despises
the agent through whom it was consun'-
mated.

zest this morning, and all for thinking of what
saw in Glasgow yesterday, on both sides of
the Clyde. Thirty steamers, 1 was .old, have
been bought there for Confederate service dur
ing the last three months; twelve of them dur
ing the last week. A majority of these are
small wooden paddle-wheel boats, capable of
carrying two tiers or layers of cotton bales in
their cabins. They run or fly some sixteen or
eighteen miles an hour, and are called the fast
est craft in the world. They are intended, of
course to run out the cotton from the block
AIDED ports. They look lean and lathy as
Thames Wineries. The prices paid for them
are between e, 500 and gS, 600 apiece. The
Glasgowers consider this free and spasmodic
use OF the cash obtained by the Confederate
loan in Europe to SAVIOR little of desperation.
They consider these prices excessive, and real

great straits, to behave so. Anti-slavery senti-

the North from day to day.
