The Pence SneRks Know their Man.
The little furry among the Peace Cop
perheads by reason of General NIcClenan's
letter Of acceptance has almost entirely
sbated. Their alarms lest he should not
be eentirely plant to their wishes have been
ouieted, and now that they know his Pri-
Tate sentiments, they submit with exceed
ing grace to the nomination. Seymour,
Wood, Vallandigham and others of that
ilk know that they can manage Mcclellan
as President and compel him, if he were
disinelined, to scquiesce in their notions.
Thus Fernando Wood, in his speech in
New York on Saturday night, said;

SOCIETY

SOCIETY
The most shocking spectacle presented
by the rebel capital seems TO be the social
depravity. In all centres Of power and
particularly of military moral corruption
Is always found to exist largely in excess OF
the natural proportion elsewhere. Inc
effects. of tho was. in the border cities of the
North has shown this Richmond seems,
however, to be unusually athleted- Inc ne
army of the South has swept on al the
fighting material Of the country. This has
carried off fathers, husbands and brothers,
the natural guardians of the purity ofther
wives and daughters. We may add IT is
estimated that there are ten thousand pub
licly and privately kept women IN kicn-
mond. -
FARO AND GAMBLING EsTABLIsHMENTs'
These establishments are numerous and
are plying brisk business. They are pat
ronized by government officials, who are
said to squander away the public funds. A
recent law against the keeping OF these
places subjects the proprietors to severe
punishment. They have accordingly
adopted the plan of dealing in iron masks,
40 that they may not be recognized
The theatres Of the city are also IN the T.

HOW RICHMOND Is SUPPLIED WITH FOOD
Whence comes the food necessary to the
support of the large mass of human life IN
| and about Richmond is question not un-
frequently asked. The stoppage of the
Weldon Railroad has shut off another av'
enue of supply, and it was supposed BY
many would bring the inmates of the be
lesgued city TO terms. Our informant say
the main dependence for food Is now anc
has been in the large supplies from the ex
tensive Piedmont region, section OF coun
try which has been but little subjected t.
the ravages of war. From this quarte,
long trains of wagons are continually ar
irving, bringing in supplies. The jane
River and Kanawha Canal is also used t
its utmost capacity in the transportation
of food. 1t is not thought that the wan
Of food will ever effect the surrender Of tn
rebel capital unless the other source of sup
plv be wrested from their grasp. Our in
formant says "If you have plenty Of none.
you can get plenty to eat" He does no
think there is any scarcity as lar as Tn
rich are concerned. The worst feature Q
this plenty lies in the fact that it Is beyon
the reach of the poor. Hunger will subdu
the most vehement patriotism, and we ma
soon hear cries of Blood or bread IN tn
streets of Richmond. The time when thi
shall come cannot be far distant. Eve
now the government slaughter houses ar
, besieged BY crowds of women, who awai
the killing of animals and beg for niea
This cannot last long.

plies. Mr.. Stevens introduced bill to abolish
certain laws in the seeded States and to pro-
vide for the admission Of such States into the
Union, which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary. The death of Senator

adopted amending the resolution to supply de-
fciencies in the appropriations tor bountles to
volunteers passed before the late recess. This
resolution requires that the money paid by all
drafted persons under the present law, OF any
similar act which may be passed, shall be paid
into the treasury, to be drawn out on requlsl-
tons for the expenses of the draft and the
procuration of substitutes only. A joint reso~
luton was introduced proposing two amend
ments to the constitution Of the United States,
the first asserting that slavery or involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for crime,
shall not exist in the United States and the
second proposing certain alterations IN the
mode of adopting amendments to the conshtu-
ton. A joint resolution was introduced as
serting that it is the duty of the Federal gov
ernment to demand Of the government Of
France the removal of the military forces now
in Mexico, and that in case of refusal, war
be declared against that government. A bill
was introduced to set apart a portion OF the
State Of Texas for negroes. Mr.. Davis Of Ky.
desired that the resolution for his expulsion
offered last week, by Mr.. Wilson, should be ta-
ken up and acted upon, but several members
appealed to him to allow the morning business
to proceed, and he consented. Subsequently
the resolution was taken up, when Mr. Davis
expressed his appreciation Of the action of the
Senate by yielding to his motion, as he did not
wish action before others were prepared to dis
cuss the question, he moved to postpone the
matter until one 0 clock on Wednesday next,
which was agreed to. The death Of Mr.. Bow
den was announced.
In the House of Representatives, Mr.. Fen
ton introduced bill providing payment to
'loyal" citizens for property lost or destroyed
by the troops of the United States during the
present war; also, bill for the construction of
postal military railway between Washington
and New York. Mr.. Washburp, of illinois,
introduced bill amendary Of the act charter

passengers any distance on the road, and also

Of bills on different subjects were introduced and

The scarcity of cents is attracting the at
tention Of the money writer's everywhere.
AS these coins are not exported, the question
IS asked, what has become of them all, espe-
claliy as during the last year there were coined

three hundred and sixty thousand, being over

scarce are they in circulation, just now, that it

ALExASDRIA.-Th following description Of
Alexandria we find in the Washington Chron-
icle ''Alexandria was one of the most
DELIGHTFUL Of old fogy towns when water was
delivered at your door from water carts at two
cents per pail The retrocesslon gave it an
impulse upward, and water and gas were intro"
dnced. the railroad built, number OF fire
DWELLINGS, and some extensive stores. But the
war chilled the growing enterprise of the place,
DESTROYED the social life and annihiliated its
trade. Of late it has been picking up. Busl-
ness has largely increased, the population al
most doubled, and the enormous supplies o.
the Government, for the army OF the Potomac
being transhipped, have naturally drawn with
them both population and trade, 1t is SAID
that since Gen. Slough has been military gov
ernor six hundred new buildings have gone up
Eleven sheds have been erected to protect the
locomotives Of the Orange and Alexandra
Railroad. one of which will contain forty loco
motives. The town wears the look Of place
gradually converting its slow, easy gong habits
into more energetic business aspects.
The Washington Star says: 1t is no longer
to be doubted that the army, OF rather armies,
with which the United States will next spring
resume active operations will be the largest
and best the world will have seen IN modern
times.

tanned therein should be corrected. In.

three. One of these having lost the Sigh,
OF bis right eye, the reby inca pacitating him
Tor field duty, requested permission from
the Doctor to 60 over the river and re-
main few days, and received it. His

sight Of boih eyes received the same priv
l!ege. Worked about one hour and re-.
turned to the hos plsal. The third wen,
over without permission, and wished to
remain until Sunday morning, (,hat be.

but did not work. They all of them went
OF their own accord, and did not expect to
work or receive pay. Now as to the hos
pi'al property. I gu know tina, all of the
hospitals are emptied to considerable
extent. Sixth Street hospital il not an
exception, the records proving that as
large if not larger proportion OF men re.
turned to duty as any hospital in town.
There were at the time about 100 vacant
beds 10 the house 1.-TWO stories of the
building unoccupied. The beds were
piled up IN the rooms uuoccuped. Think
ing that II was not a crime or violating
his obligations to the Government. be did

nal In the circumstances as / have related
them, their sense of right and wrong il
more acute than most of the officers con.
nected with the army or the soldiers Of
Sixth Street Hospital.
We willingly publish the above letter
IRON the soldiers in reference to our yes
terda5's notice of DR.. Corners removal
