Retribution on LIVERPOOL.

The financial crash that alluded to in my
last, says London letter of Oct. 9TH, is
destined to be very disastrous. Large fail
ures are occurring daily in Liverpool and
Manchester, and the crisis is not yet near its
climax. have Just conversed with two or
three gentlemen, lately arrived from Liver
pool, and they tell me there is soon to be
calamitious commercial crisis in that pros
porous town. Liverpool, to all intents and
purposes, has been port of the rebel States
since your misguided rebellion broke out, and
from peaceful and honorable merchants,
nearly every member OF that community
seems to have been transformed into bitter
enemies of the United States, their sole study
to see how much they can do for the
South" how much injury they can do to "the
North" and how much money they could
make BY feeding the rebellion and running
the blockade. Any person of the least rehec-
ton must have foreseen day of retribution
for such course but few anticipated that 1t
would arrive so soon.
True, some Of the staple articles Of Liver
pool commerce have been cotton, tobacco and
rice from the Southern States; but tine great
fact cannot be ignored that Liverpool has
grown rich by trading with New York and
Boston BY the traffic of the Northern mer-
chants the cargoes and passengers OF snlps
to and from the Northern ports-the emf.
grants and Lancashire goods sent out to the
warehouses, workshops, household and agri-
cultural and manufacturing districts Of the
Northern, Eastern and Western States. And
so far as the staple products Ct the South are
concerned, they can only be looked on as part
of the products of the one great country, the
United States.
They were only paid for by British goods
consumed mostly in the North. And yet
these money-making Liyerpoolians have,
from the commencement of your unfortunate
struggle, been transformed into bitter, active
partisans, making every effort for the disrup-
ton of great country, that has fed this one
by commerce of several hundred millions Of
dollars annually. And now its purely legit-
innate fruits are crumbling to bitter ashes in
their mouths, like the famous apples Of the
Dead Sea. The poisoned chalice is COM
mended to their own lips. Who can either
envy or pity them?
You may look for series of failures and a
period of financial distress in Liverpool that
will weigh hard upon that whilom prosperous
place.

signatures Of one hundred and sixty men,
bers Of "the International Association for
the Advancement Of Social Science" lately
in session at Amsterdam, was presented to

TO abraham Lincoln, President Of the
United States We have followed with pro-
found interest, from its origin, the struggle
between the energetic citizens of the North
and the shareholders of the South. While
regretting the bloodshed and the evils result
ing from war, we congratulate you upon the
constant frmness with which you and the
great nation which elected you have defended

United States nation will issue from this trial
stronger than ever, and with a future defn-

we await the speedy triumph OF the holy
cause Of liberty. We are sure that the des-
TIMES Of the great republic will never be CON-
promised by you.

An ENLISTED MAN KILLED AT THE
BARRACKS Thursday evening about one
hundred and fifty men, substitutes, drafted,
and enlisted men, arrived in the city from
New York, and were placed in the Barracks
on the corner Of Main and Seventh streets.
Twenty-Five Of the men had escaped on the
way out, and for that reason strong guard
was placed over the rest. The men were
placed in a room in the second story of the
building, at the door of which there was o
guard, and one at the door at the foot Of the
stairs opening on Main street. About
o'clock yesterday morning, just after the
guards had been relieved, man named John
TONNES broke past the guard at the door Of
the room, ran down the steps, and got past
the guard at the street door into the street,
when the guard fired at him. The relieved
guard and corporal were near the door, and
they also fired. But the man ran on in the
direction Of the Louisville Hotel, the two
guards after him. He was overtaken near
the hotel, but tried still to elude the guards,
when one of them struck him with his gun,
knocking him senseless to the ground. He
was carried back to the Barracks, and upon
examination it was found that one Of the
balls had passed transversely through the
abdomen, Just above the hips, and that the
wound was fatal one. He was from Mon
tecello, New York, where he had mother
living. He received heavy bounty when he
enlisted. He survived about an hour and a
half. An amount sufficient, with what money
he had, was raised among the men to send
his body back home to his mother. He had
two brothers who live in California, where he
has been until within a short time.-Lotis-

Sour GRAPEs.-The new and evidently
unAedged editor of the Virginia COnItitE-
tion, last evening delivered himself of the
following Irish bull :"
Our defeat in the recent election amounts
to literally nothing. We were not yet ready
for victory.
What pity! We guess it Will require
a blast from the trumpet of Gabriel to
prove to the satisfaction of any one in the
county of Storey that you "were not
ready for victory" of any kind. Larry
Murray would swear to that-and we
presume Tod Robinson would hardly deny
it. However, when, if ever, you do get
ready for victory" just give US wink
and we will take a hand in sklnning the
copperheaded snake again.

FARMING PLANTATIONS ON TIE MIssIs-
s1pPI.-The Vicksburg Herald Of recent
date, has the following: There is at Davis
Bend great experimental progress, Of what
the freedman may be expected to do here
after. There are about Is farmers working
land on their own account, and making about
1900 acres of cotton, besides as much corn.
This trial Of their capacity and readiness to
work, planned and encouraged by Col. Eaton
is success. They will make, on an aver
age, from $4,000 to $1,000 each. There is
scarcely one failure among the % lessees.
Some negroes this year will clear from $l0,-
600 to $4,000, who were slaves three years
ago. And yet, men still wonder "what shall
be done with the blacks" There is one good
use to which they might be put, viz: to in
struct those who know no better than to ask
such question now. JEFF. Davis plantation
is all covered with these negro farms, and
just where the rebellion was Matched shall
rise Up the demonstration that black men
need only opportunity to solve the great
problem that has SO vexed the politicians.

PRESENT CONDITION OF FORT Pillow
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial thus describes the present condition OF
Fort Pillow:
1t seems as if all agencies, human and nat
ural, had combined to obliterate all traces of
this spot-the theatre Of deeds so odious to
God and man. By various parties it has
been leyeled down, until now there remains
not so much as one shovel of earth upon an
other, and the incessant dashing and rushing
of the great river below is fast washing
away the foundation on which it stood. The
bluff on which it was built is about sixty
feet high, composed Of a crumbling clay,
based on a loose and porous sandstone,
which is continually being carried away by
the water, leaving the earth to slide down.
The steamer which passes down the Missis-
sippi a generation hence will glide over the
site. The last negro shall 60 on his way
from Canada down the river, to embark for
the home Of his race, in hope Of seeing the
ground where the blood of his associates,
poured out without stint, sealed the irreyo-
cable edict Of their freedom, shall look and
inquire in vain for Fort Pillow.

LOSSES IN GREAT BArTLEs.-The dreadful

Losses IN GREAT BATTLEs.-The dreadful
carnage and misery caused by war may IN
some degree be conceived by the following
comparison Of the forces engaged in the bat
tie of Solferino and in former great battles.
At the battle of Solferino there were more
than 100000 soldiers in the field, and the
losses must have amounted to at least from
$4,000 to $1,000. At the battle Of Leipsic,
which lasted three days, the 330, 900 allies had
against them 100000 French; the latter lost
10000 prisoners and Il, 900 killed and wound
ed, the former $4,000 killed and wounded.
After Leipsic, the most sanguinary battle was
that Of Moscow, on the 7th September, 1872.
The Russians had $50, 900 men and 600 pieces
of cannon; the French, 1874 900 men and 5S7
cannon. The former lost $1,000, and the lat
ter $4,000. The losses were, therefore, 40 per
cent. At Bautzen, on the Dist Of May, 1873,
there were 10000 Russians and Prussans
opposed to 10000 French; the latter lost
10000, and the allies $4,000, and not single
cannon. At Wagram, on the 9th and 9Th Of
July, 1909, the Germans had l37, 600 men,
and Napoleon l70 900; the former lost 10000
and the latter $1,000. At Austerlitz there
were e, 900 French, as many Russians, and
$4,000 Austrians; the losses were, 2l,000
Russians, with l60 pieces OF cannon, $500
Austrians. and 10000 French. At jena
there were $4,000 French against 10000
Prussians. At Waterloo there were 10000,
of whom 10000 were French, these lost 2j,-
900 men and $50 cannon, WILTSHIRE allies lost
nearly as many. On an average the losses
in all these battles amounted to from 20 to %
per cent, whilst in the more recent engage
ments they were not greater than Is per cent.
All the losses in waa in former times have
been, however, exceeded in the present Amer
lean contest.

PRINTERS AND DocToRs.-An Eastern

that doctors bills and newspaper bills are the
last accounts in the sum Of almost every
mans Indebtedness which he thinks of pay
ing. Whatever may be his ability to paw, no
difference If his chest be filed with old rusty
dollars, he thinks some indefinite time will do
to settle the aforesaid accounts. People
somehow have Evolutionary notion that the

papers are mere amateur professions, fol-
lowed for amusement's sake, and for the cost
Of which little or nothing is expected. Yet

Formation Of Mining Companies.

In the manner in which our mining com
panies have been organized, most SERIOUS
error has been committed. Our companies
have been formed in such manner tnas Tue

after paying liberal price for their STOCK,
that they have paid all that is required, and
that in future they may look Tor dlVlaenos'

chances are that an assessment ana SAFE on

1t is said that the salvation OF Colorado,
whose mines are like pigmies compared to
ours, is their different manner oil incorporate

their capital for working. The people Of the
East have millions of money, and are anx-

mining; but under our present customs we
may offer our best stocks in vain. Those
who have taken the records of their mines
and mining property to New York and in
corporated there as such companies are in
corporated, have been exceedingly success
full. The success of such, proves that their
style Of incorporating is good one, Had it
been adopted here there would not be the
many complaints now made Of freezing

ture should take heed of this, as we'll as

PETROLEUM IN CoLoRADo.-The Black

Hawk Mining Journal Of Nov. 10th, says:
Are there any Of our readers so fortunate
as to know that we have oil springs in Col
orado, where the oil forces itself to the sur
face and floats away on the water And yet,
the other day, there wasn't a drop Of kero-
'Sene in Denver. There probably are not ten
barrels Of it in the Territory. Has any one
suspected that petroleum is all the rage
among spectators at the East? Or imag-
ined that it is cheaper and better for Colora-
do to import 100000 gallons Of oil annually,
at cost of as many dollars on, transporta-
ton, and half as many more on the original
purchase, than K would be to develop her
own oil springs, produce what she wants to
consume, and export it to civilize the sur
rounding Territories Gone about with en-
ergy and determination, the petroleum dis
trict of Colorado might be made a source of
wealth in very few months. Suffered to
