TIE EXTRACT from letter below is we'll

fulness. The statement which she makes
show plainly that the chief impediments to
our success in putting down the rebellion
consist in the mistaken policy of the ad-
ministration, whose acts and proclamations
have made it the interest of every South
erner to continue fighting for the Confsder-
acy."
The passage thus reads
"The desolation of the Southern States
beggars description. Destitution and pov
erty have taken the place of opulenoe and
prosperity. Men that were worth hundreds
of thousands are reduced to utter poverty.
As for the luxuries of life, formerly so
abundant in the South, there are none
Who were formerly the wealthiest have
nothing to sustain life but what tee country
affords, and not enough of that, for by the
imprsssment it is taken from them for the
army. Their garments, even their shoes,
the families have to make themselves, they
spin, weave, and dye their cotton, and
home spun clothes, rich and poor. Tea,
coffee and sugar are not to be had milk
and water are the only beverages Indian
corn is their principal food The families
are broken up and ruined You seldom
meet with male inhabitant and if you do
be is either in6rm or 3 cripple.
A large portion Of the male population
are killed in battle, many more crippled for
lifetime; many patriotic Union men died OF
a broken heart. What remain are in the
army or in the employ OF the government.
Nevertheless, press-gangs cross the country
in all directions in search of men for the
army. No courts of justice and equity are
hsld-justice is meted out by the military
Universities, colleges and schools are all
suspended. The country iu many places
resembles wilderness. Wherever the armies
march there everything is sruined-the crops
destroyed; fences burned; trees cut down;
domestic animals killed, robbed, or taken

DURING THE opening exercises Of the
Great Sanitary Fair at Cincinnati, on Mon
day, the Rev. Mr.. GADDIs made an eloquent
speech, and closed his remarks with an elo.
qucnt and happy tribute to woman and her
work in the good cause.
This remark called up Gen. RosEcRANs,
tho President, who narrated a very inter-
esting incident of female spy, Tho came
to his headquarters more than year ago
and stated that she felt it to be her duty to
the cause of her country to Offer her services

BILE length of time, there began to be con-
siderable anxiety for her return, aud, al
though waiting patiently 60 see her and
learn her discoveries, she came not. When
the Federal army took possession of Shelby
ville, Tennessee, they found this woman in
prison, condemned to death as spy, and
waiting her fate like patriot aud hero
She had been rescued just in time to save
her frem the doom that awaited her. She
was immediately sent to Nashville, where
she was lying sick for number of months
This Monday morning, said General Rose

been washing in Cincinnati for two weeks
in order thereby to raise meaus to take her

Increase I'm Prices.

1t is news to none of our readers that the
Increase in price Of almost all articles OF
primo necessity in every thing connected
with industrial pursuits and the actual sup
port of human existence has been very great
within the past two or three years, or SINCE
the beginning of the civil war. Glancing
over a statistical exhibit Of the ratio of ad
vance, a few days since, We found the incre-
ment in several things enormous and start
ling And although our own business ex
perience, has sxacted some careful observa-
ton and supervision, to enable as to make
both ends meet we were hardly prepared
for the revelation Of fact we encounter
ed. -s
In articles Immediately pertaining to news
paper publishers, the advance seems to have
been peculiarly oppressive For instance:
Cotton which reflects the advance in cotton
rags, has pushed upwards from s cents to
72 cents per pound, or 800 per cent. Rosin,
prime ingredient of printers ink, has ad
vanced from 81 25 per barrel TO about $40
and the scarcity still threatening. These
two articles exhibit real advances from &C.
tual deartb, and not from general causes o
war, or the currency, Then there is the ad
vance in the coast of living, which includes
an advance in the price of labor, adding in
the aggregate fifty per cent. to ordinary
expenses, and thu, striking at the very last
possible profit of newspaper publishers
wherever continued at ante. war terms o.
subscription and advertising.
Although a bare statement Of facts like
this can scarcely astonish the rejecting
reader; yet an item or two will present a
strong illustration OF the differences TO
which we are now subject In the matter of
values Coffee, for instance, has gone from
Is cents to 80, wholesale prices, and some
times quoted considerably higher, Teas %
cents to a 81. Iron. Scotch pig s25 70 S4s
per ton; English bar $50 to SIS, Rice 81 to
SO per 100 pounds Wool IS cents to 70
per ID. Sugars fifty per cent. Soap the
same. Butchers meat and green groceries
about the same. OF cou. =. wages for labor
has advanced, in soma instanc., fully to
this extent, aud in some cases, perhaps, be-
yond it; in others they have fallen short
1t is appearant, however, that We are now
living under state of things so dlfSsrent 20
that which existed before the war that We
must all be prepared for such changes as the
sxigeucy arising from universally increased
values impose upon Us.
