AYRCDoTB OF Bishop BUTLER-Hume

"No, Madame" said DR.. Clarke, he
is not dead but he is buried"

SLAVERY NOT DEAD.-A Norfolk letter,
written by Charles s. Bruce of New
York, says Of the loyal Shareholders in
Nansemond and Norfolk counties, Vir-
GINA;
They believe in slavery just as much
as they ever did; they would reinstate
it tomorrow if they could they hate
the negro in any other relation than
as a slave. They still talk of con-
structional guarantees" and their state
institution" and rights to their ne
groes," as though the most fearful rev.
olution of modern days had not put two
hundred thousand bloody graves and
the ruin of half continent between the
time when such phrases were realities
and the present time. One of them laid
the dilemma before me in these words I;
There are only three cases possible /;
either the conlederacy will conquer, and
then slavery will exist stronger than
ever; or we shall unite under the old
constitution, and then slavery will re-
main as it was---a state Institution OF
the North will utterly conquer and sub
iugate the South, and then there will be
no slavery, but there will be no South,
and this last the North would never
permit

A REBEL PRoPHET ABRoAD.-"S, who
expounds the secession view of Ameri-
can affairs in the London Times, in his
last communication, after consigning
Gen. Grant to a terrible fate has the fol
lowing precious remarks about Gen
Sherman:
"Sherman's position is even legs en-
viable than that of Grant. After long
pause he has suffered disastrous re-
pulse, and failed to carry any point of
Johnston's position. If carried, his next
march would bring him to the Chatta-
hoochie, formidable river to cross, and
beyond it Atlanta would be found just
as strongly fortified as Lynchburg
proved to be- 1t might have been wise
had Johnston drawn him further into
the State. As it is, Shermans position
is full of peril. Sturgls, moving to his
aid from Memphis with column Of 5000
men, suffered the most thorough defeat
since Bull Run, none Of his infantry es-
Gaping except as fugitives. Forrest, at
ter this victory on his road, will soon he
heard of in Sherman's rear, and part OF
the force no longer needed beyond the
Mississippi Is now pressing on to Geor-
gia. 1t appears choice for Sherman
whether to make disastrous retreat or
to hold on and be hemmed in by armies

A SOP TO PENNsYLyAEIA.-The War
Department has yielded to the pressure
from Pennsylvania, and given authority
for the organization of ReU regiments
of one year troops under the last call
no State asks and receives so many spe-
cial favors in the matter of raising
troops, as Pennsylvania and yet she
never has corporals guard to keep the
horse thieves from crossing her borders
We thought the folly Of new regiments
was long ago exploded. But as it is
again revived, there is but one remedy.
When Lieut. Gen. Grant gets these new
regiments at the front, it will be per
fectly legitimate for him to muster out
the officers and put the men into the
battle thinned ranks OF veteran Penn
sylvania regiments that deserve to be
filed up.

DIsAFFECTIoN IN THE REBEL RANKS
One OF the New York newspaper cores
pondents with Gen. Grants army says
there are abundant proofs of wide spread
dsaffectiOn in the rebel ranks that
whole regiments are tired of the war,
are convinced that they can never con-

evidence is declared to be circumstan-
tial concordant and cumulative, and

In this connection it may be remarked
that the Petersburg Register gives an
account Of fight between citizens and
deserters from General Lees army,
in the vicinity of Pleasant Branch, Camp
bell county, in which it is said the de-
sartcrs got the worst of it, though they
fought like veterans. It's stated that
there are numerous small camps of these
desertcrs scattered over the country, q
circumstance from which the reader can
draw his own differences.

yellow FEVER AT New YoRK.-The

their determination to enforce the quar-

brought into the harbOr in the United
States war steamer TahOma. On Tues

offered $40 a day and sailors S. day to
remain on board and take care of the
ship, nearly all her crew being PROSTATE
with yellow fever. Over seventy sick
men have been removed on shore within
a few days The entire station has been
so terrified by the disastrous state of af-
fairs on the unfortunate vessel that
hardly any one can be got to volunteer
for the ordinary duty of keeping the
decks clean. 1t Is so dangerous to get
near a craft in the TahOmas position,
that even the steam tugs give her wide
berth. This vessel left New York du-

late rebel raid, having on board sailors

we may obtain it,"
IF tell you, will you believe me ?"
"Yes."
"And do whatever tell your

obtain salvation was to leave off lying

the Government has enlisted negroes,
and thus taken from the farmers of Ken
lucky the power to harvest their crops
with the usual ease. If there is any va
lidity in this complaint there would be
a thousand times more in the complaint
that the enlistment of Northern white
men to fight against rebellion in be-
half of slavery has taken from the farm
ers of New York the power to gather
their crops with either ease or economy
1t will cost the farmers of our state

fusion or mistake.
NAvAL-There must be something
wofully out of joint in the navy depart
ment. Not long since Monitor called
the Chino was launched at Charlestown
which proved to be so heavy that it
could hardly be kept above water at
all. Mr.. A. C, sinners, government
officer experimenting the construction
Of iron clods, put on false deck cigh-
teen inches high, so as to bring the yes
sci out Of the water sufficiently TO be
sent on trial "trip. He went down
Boston Harbor with her, proclaimed the
trial a success. and then stripped off the
false deck, and threw overheard five or
six hundred dollars worth Of govern
ment lumber
Quite recently the iron clad Turks,
built at Chester, Pa, was discovered TO
be leaking two and a half inches an
hour as she lay at the Philadelphia
wharf. She afterwards started down
the river, but her steam pamp could not
keep down the leak, and she was finally
brought back to Philadelphia only by
help of baillng, her officers expecting
every moment to go to the bottom.
1t is to be borne in mind that this
concern has been inspected, accepted
and paid for by the government officials,
and of course the government is respon-
sible. If the department has run so
low that bran new vessels cannot be
kept above water in river channel it
would seem as if a few more cabinet
designations would be acceptable.
