A letter from New York says: Some of
the butchers up town are closing up their
stalls for want Of business. they say. al
kinds of meat are so high that most OF
their customers have stopped buying.
There is much sense in the above. We
all eat more INT at than is necessary. There
is not house in this city but buys more
than is consumed there is not a family in
the city which could not live better and in
better health on one third the m, at nov

meat so As to have it all used-then use
other articles Of food more. Especially in
the summer season do we eat too much
meat. Nice potatoes cooked in different
ways-fsh, bread. rice. eggs. fruit, corn

the staple articles OF summer food in pre-.

meats Of all kinds, with other articles OF
food swimming in grease. Use less meat

May, 1864.
CHAPTER !.
"Glorious are the flashing flags and or.
dered lines, the furious charge and frantic
rally, blaring trump, the drum, the crash.
ing cannon and the rafting volley."
CHAPTER II.
High above the forests Of Virginia, madly
dashing against the plying face of Heaven
fierce'y illumining the wild, deep night and
binding the beauty of the stars, the terrible
destroyer, fire, RACES in mad fury. Below,
on the sodden ground, crawling around the
burning trunks, groaning and shrieking in
their dreadful agony, seeking life while
death in its most dreadful shape swoops
on them with swift and remorseless wing,
there, in this horrible living hell, are
thousands of brave fellows suffering all the
torments of the damned.
In other woods, along the road, in fields
and hills, in brush and thicket, by bloody
streams and on the dreadful battle. field, are
other thousands of brave men, writhing
and supplicating the mercful hand of Death
to rid them Of their pain. In the streets of
Fredericksburg, lying at the door-steps of
their mortal foes, gasping and groaning ::
sweltering in the hot sun; drenching in the
pitiless rain raving in their frenzied agony :;
far from homo and friends, left to die un-
noticed and uncalled for, are other thous-
ands of brave men, manned, and bruised,
and mangled, and torn, victims Of the in.
satiate Demon that laps the life of Nations.

Another Case Of kidnapping

a resident Of this city, aud latterly
Of Annapolis, Maryland, was arrested
ia this city ON the night Of Monday
last, ut the residence Of Mrs. BEckEL, his
halt sister, whom he was visiting, aud
spirited away some 0here on the midnight

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

In his letter 10 Liucolu, dated at Harri-
sons Landing, July7, 1862, General McClel.
Ian says E1 fsl ..r
This rebellion has assumed the character
Of wnr as such il should be regarded aud it
should be conducted upon the highest princi.
pies known to Christian civilization. IL should
not be war looking TO the subugation nl the
people of any Stale Ia any event 1t should
not be ataIl IA war upon population, but against
armed forces and political organizations Ne.
ther coniscation Of property, political execu
tinns OF persons, territorial organization OF
States, or iorclble abolition of slavery, should
be contemplated for n moment In proaecn-
tag The war, all private property and unarmed
persons should be strictly protected su5iec I
only to the necessity Of military operations
All private property taken for military use
should be paid or receipted for; pllage and
waste should be treated as high crimes all
unnecessary trespass sternly prohibited, and
offensive demendor by the military towards
citizens promptly rebuked. Military arrests
should notbe tolerated, except in places where
active hostllities exist, and Oaths not required
by enactments coustitutionaly made, should
be neither demanded nor received Military
Government should be confined TO the pres.
erVahon OF public order and the protection Ol
political rights
Military power should not not be allowed
to Interfere with the relations OF servilude,
either by supporting or impairng the aulhori-
ty OF the master, except for suppressing dis.
order, as in other cases. Slaves cOnlraban1
under the act OF Congress-, seeking military
protection, should receiys it. The right OF
the Government to appropriate permanently
to it's own service, claims to slave labor, should
be asserted, and the right Of the owner 10
compensation therefor should be recognized
II the war had heen conducted on these
principles, it would have been triumphanty
closed long ago. Nothing but the cruel and
despotic end avowed by Lincoln, aud the in
human and barbarous means employed, could
have melted the Southern people to the des
perate resistance they have made.

HardIo Suit!

The Republican papers abuse the
Democratic party, because they charge us
with opposing the draft. In the same
breath they scold MoCLELAN because they
say he is in favor it In the same way
they vituperate Democrats for opposing
arbitrary arrest aud are just as bitter
against Mcclellan because they say he
favors such arrests They used to abuse
US, because they said we had "no sympa-
thy for our brave boys in the field" Now
they are quite severe on us, because plank
in our platform distinctly and cordially
expresses such sympathy. What shall
we do to please the Black Republican ?
