WITH characteristic Inconsistency, the
radicals who were delighted when the
World and the Journal Of Commerce were
suppressed, are now laboring for the release
Of Howard, the forger, As soon as 1t was
ascertained that be was a Loyal Lacquer,
all their swelling indignation suddenly col
lapsed and now they "roar as gently as
sucking doves" Circumstances alter cases,
;tmakes vast deal of difference whose OK
is pored, and since it turns out that one OF
the abolition cattle has got into the pit
which was dug for his ncighbor. an immense
"pressure" must be exerted to get him out
When the newspapers were suspended tor
being the victims OF a cunningly devised
fraud, the radicals, says. the Journal OF
Commerce.
"Never thought Of recommending an ex"
animation Of auv kind, and as to fair trl'
al, or a defence under the general prlncl-
pies of law. or an opportunity for explana-
ton. or anything Of that SORT, it was not
within the scope Of their vision. Now, the
Young man has committed no crime known
to law; it was only foolish jest, small
affair, and the statutes Of the United States
and New York being diligently searched,
contain no provisions under which the Of
fence can even be indicted They say n is
not forgery, and they demand - be told
what it Is CuriouSly enough, Too, we hear
radicals urging that the Unlted States
should hand the young man over to the
State authorities for punishment. This IS
so novel a notion Tor radical while it may
be right, that it can only bo explained on
tho theory that the political friends oil the
Young man have come to the conclusion that
ne has committed no offence against the
State law
Further, we find strolg applications going

From a gentleman who arrived IN this
city Yesterday morning direct from Fred
ericksburp, we learn some interesting par
ticulars with reference to the scenes tnat
are now TO be witnessed in that city ana
vicinity Our informant left Frederlcks
burg on Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock,
in company with member OF the Army
Medical Corps.
They made the journey to Washington
in an am bulance. driving all the way at
rapid rate for fear of being intercepted by
cucrrilas, WIN often harasss travellers on
tue route He states that on Monday,
Mosby's men were within four miles OF
Alexandria, where they captured ten or
twelve suffers wagons, containing q guam
THY OF medical stores.
Erhc scenes in and about Fredericksburg
baff1ed all attempts at description Tho
wounded, the dying and dead were to be
found everywhere and in every direction.
Every house, barn, or other building that
could afford shelter was occupied with the
suffering wounded. The streets and alleys
we're also filled with them, while outside OF
the city acres Of the fields were covered
with the wounded and dying The picture
was the most beartrending that it was pos
sble to behold Thousands and tens OF
, thousands of men lying about in heaps in
the burning sun, bleeding to death for lack
of medical attendance, or famisbmg for
want of nourishment and care. Our in
formant says that their shrieks and groans
are still ringing in his ears Thousands
were crying for cup of cold water, and
many were dying from the heat OF the
sun. ~
At the timn hr left the number Of wound-
ed in the city of Fredericksburg was es-
timateJ at 100000 Quite proportion of
them were rebels, who lay indiscriminate-
" mixed in among the Union men. The
men who but few hours before had met
in deadly .combatInow lay peacefully side
by side. With them the Virginia Cam
paign was ended Though fighting under
different flags, they had been bone Oft the
field together and together many of them
were waiting the approach of the messenger
of death. ..s.s ..s. ta5.#as
A surgeon with whom he conversed, in
formed him that large proportion OF the
wounds were breast wounds-the balls ia
king effect in the breast, neck or bead
Great numbers Of the wounded were being
constantly brought Ina detachment OF
three or four thousand men from the ambu.
lance corps being engaged in that business.
Some were brought in on cars, some on
wagons and some hobbled on foot,
The Impression among the suffering sol"
diers was that the engagements thus far
had been drawn battles, but they felt
great confidence in the result of the CAM
paign.
