The Bitter BrTTEN.-The records of
commercial life show many instances of
sharp practice, but nothing which bet
ter deserves to stand at the head of the
list than the following transaction
which took place in our city last week.
One of our merchants received teIe.
gram from his Boston correspondent
stating that sugar had gone up two
cents, whereupon, without saying a
word to his clerks or any one else, he
hurried up to the North end, to store
which had large lot on hand and pur-
chased the whole stock at twenty-one
cents. He then returned to his own
place in great gee, treated his clerks all
round, and informed them of his shrewd
speculation What was his consterna
ton to learn that during his absence one
of his neighbors, as sharp as himself,
had called in and taken all his own
stock at twenty cents. A careful esti-
mate showed him that somebody had
cleared about fifty dollars by the opera
tion.-NescburWort Herald.

ALL DAY LONG.
BY OLIVE n. PAINE.


All day long where the quiet woodlands
Laugh into bloom meath the summers breath
Hearts grow still while they wait the tidings
OF from the CORY field of death.
Naught but the battle.ory ito Richmond"
gs the chime Of the voiceful hours,
Naueht but the moan Of our wounded brothers
Calls iron The depth Of our peaceful bowers.
All day long Al last, there's message
"Glorious news ~ for our hosts have won'--
Strangely eyes grow m, though brightly
Clear is the glare of the setting sun
Strangely fingers tremble- passing
Over the lines OF that fearful list,
Lest they lie on the name familiar
OF the dead soldier whose lips we've kissed.
Oh with the thousand wounded heroes
Yet there's another thousand more
Bearing at home the pain whose burden
Ceases not when the strife Is DER.
So we wait while our hearts are achingl
Naught can We d. but kneel and pray,
Though we feel that the tie is breaking
Bound with our tenderst love Away!
SO while the paths of the hills and meadows
Ring with burden OF life and song,
Weary we watch for the lights and shadows
Born in the battle-all day long.

FROM GEN. BUFFERS ARMY.-A letter
from Bermuda Hundred, dated on Thurs
day last, says; .........
"Sorties on our pickets have been quite
a prominent feature of rebel tactics late
ly; but as they have proved so far more
disastrous than profitable, it is not likely
they will persist in this new method of
annoying our troops in future. Yester-
day morning they made such a move
ment, advancing their entire line of pick
cts. Our Generals, anticipating their de
sign, laid very neat plan, TO not only
defeat, hut trap portion of them
Whe the attack was made, they allow
ed the enemy to force the left of our line,
while the right was ordered to hold their
wing of the line in check, until the enc
my's right moving VIGOROUSLY forward
should become detached from the delay
ed left. When they had fallen well into
the trap force was moved quickly by
the flank, through the gap caused by
the one wing advancing and the other
standing in check. The density of the
underground favored the movement for
it not only cloaked the break in their
own line to the enemy, but masked the
movement Of our force which had been
sent to the rear of the detached and ad-
vancing party. When the true state of
affairs became known to the rebels des-
perate efforts were made to eXtricate
the SHARED party, but they were quickly
gobbled and hurried inside our works.
They were nearly all members of the
ODD South Carolinian regiment Their
Colonel, whose name was Dantying, was
killed, The number captured amounted
to about one hundred We lost some
few mem by capture and about fifteen
killed and wounded"

Tn. national Ranking nh Passed.

The National Ranking Bsii Passed.
The following are the points Of the
national banking bill, as finally passed
by congress;
The Senate receded nom its amend
ment limiting the amount to three hun
dred millions of dollars to apply either
TO notes for circulation or to the amount
of capital stock. The former branch of
the proposition only Is therefore retained.
The city of Washington is included
among the places of redemption
The circulation Of the bank in lieu
of all existing taxes, is taxed one-half
of one per cent. and deposits one quar-
ter of one per cent. semi annually, and a
similar tax is imposed on capital in ex-
cess of United States bonds.
Nothing in the act is to be construed
to prevent all the shares in any of the
associations, held by any person or body
corporate from being included in the
valuation of their personal property in
the assessment of taxes imposed by or
under state authority at the place where
the bank is located and not elsewhere,
but not a greater rate than is assessed
upon other moneyed capital in the
hands of individual citizens of such
state provided that the tax imposed
by the laws of any state upon the shares
of any of the associations authorized oy
the act shall not exceed the rate imposed
upon the shares in any of the banks or
ganized under the authority of the state
where such association is located.
"This amended national bank bill
having now passed both Houses, will
undoubtedly receive the signature of the
president. Its main features are the
same as those of the original act. The
principal changes are:
a. No bank can be organized with
less capital than 100000 in small towns
and 100000 in cities with population
of over five thousand.
90 Banks must redeem at par a.
| national banks in certain designated
! places, regarded as commercial centres
"3 None but registered bonds car
be received as security for circulation
and the necessary memorandum on these
can be signed by an officer Of the bank
or by the comptroller.
Complete forms of all kinds, to cor
respond with the new bill, will be i'm
mediately prepared by the comptrol
ler."

GEN. FREMoNT's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
--Fremonts letter accepting the Cleve-
land nomination, shows pretty clearly
that the main spring of his action is a
personal animosity to MIR. Lincoln. If
the people are content to take any one
else as their candidate he will not stand
in the way; but, if by their chosen rep
resentatives in the Union National Con-
vention they decide that they want Mr..
Lincoln, he proposes, by virtually join
ing hands with the copperheads, to pre-
vent their wishes being fulfilled, if he
can. Perhaps the people will consent to
his dictation. His talk in this connec-
ton about Mr.. Lincoln's costing us
thousands of men and putting the coun-
try on the road to bankruptcy, is too IA
miliar clap-trap to excite anything but
surprise that it should now come from
the source it does. 1t is difficult to i'm
agine how Gen. Fremont, or any other
man, would defend the Union against the
assaults of the traitor armies, without
the loss of life or treasure. Such loss
has hitherto been regarded as an newt
able, though mournful, necessity Of all
wars.
Gen. Fremonts letter says:
If the Convention at Baltimore will
nominate any man whose past life justi-
fies a well-grounded confidence in his
fidelity to our cardinal principles, there
is no reason why there should be any
division among the real patriotic men of
the country. To any such l shall be
most happy to give a cordial and ac-
tive support.
My own decided preference is to aid in
this way, and not to be myself candi-
date. But If Mr. Lincoln should be re-
nominated, as believe it would be fatal
to the country to indorse policy and
renew a power which has cost us the
lives of thousands of men, and needless
ly put the country on the road to bank
ruptcy, there will remain no alternative
but to organize against him every ele-
ment of conscientious opposition with
the view to prevent the misfortunes of
his reelection.
In this contingency, accept the NOM
nation at Cleveland.

Our New York Market Reports.

The special New York Market Reports
which we receive every week from
Messrs. w. S. Mcclure g. Co., and pub.
fish in our Daily and Weekly issues, are
as we are glad to learn becoming an inn
portant and useful feature in this paper.
Our patrons find them full and reliable,
and we have reason to know that all in
terested in the produce or cattle markets
depend upon them for the fullest and
latest reports from the New York mar
ket. To all such, these reports are alone
worth many times the cost of either the
Daily or Weekly Express for year, a
fact which many of them fully appre-
ciate.
We believe our subscribers will find
an equal or greater advantage in this
arrangement by sending such produce
as they have to sell, to Messrs. Mcclure
e. Co., for disposal Any one, by com
pairing prices here and in New York city,
can see that good responsible agent in
New York can do this to the mutual ad-
vantage of all parties, especially of the
producer here in the increased prices he
will receive. AS this plan does not ne
cessitate the expense of a journey to
New York, farmers and Others can send
small lots of any kind of produce as they
may wish, and confidently rely upon a
speedy and satisfactory return for their
goods. All goods should be consigned
to W. S. Mcclure & Co., $50 Fulton

Tn. Coppcrheads Encouraged.

The New York News is undisguisedly
q rebel-sympathising sheet. Its labors
have been entirely and openly directed
to the Encouragement of those strug-
Cling to maintain the Union, and the
encouragement of the traitors seeking
to destroy it. ltrejoices over everything
tending to favor the latter, and belittles
or abuses every effort of the former
That sheet is now rejoicing over the
Fremont movement and is magnifying
and urging it on. ...
1t says:
General Fremont having once con-
scented to become a standard-bearer in
the presidential election, will not with
draw from the arena; and his resources
to distract and divide the black repub-
lican party are more of a nature to pro-
yoke the inward fear of Mr. Lincolns
adherents, than their outward mirth.
Passing over the question, now as to
the amount Of Fremonts resources to
"distract and divide" the republican
party, it is very evident to people of Or
binary comprehension that such re-
sources as he does possess will be used
to the end exultantly stated by the
News. Gen. Fremont must be credited
with ordinary comprehension, at least
and this, the only possible effect of
his accepting the Cleveland nomination,
must therefore be evident to him. His
consenting thus to directly serve open
sympathisers with the enemies of the
Union on account of an irrepressible
ambition for notoriety, or on &C
A., count of certain personal griefs whether
real or imaginary, argues either very
small mind or a very poor quality of pa
triot;sm. A man, who in time of ma
tional peril like the present, when the
best blood of the land is being poured
out as willing sacrifice to the cause of
the Union,-a man, we say, who in such
a time can barter his boosted patriot
ism for the attempted qualification of
purely personal ends, will be utterly re-
pudiated by the people, however strong
hold he may have had upon some of
them, and no amount Of resolutions or
letters of acceptance, however patriotic
ally, adroitly or abusively worded, can
save him. His resources for distract
ing and dividing the black republican
party" will therefore utterly fail him
in the very attempt to use them

CoLD HARBoR.-This name is indis-
criminately spelt Cold Harbor and Coal
Harbor. Some of the maps have it one
way and some the other. In McClellan's
report it 10 called Coal Harbor. The
place is simply locality-no village
a cross roads and dilapidated old tav
ern. The roads passing here, however,
are important; one leads to Richmond,
seven miles distant; another to White
House, sixteen miles distant, another to
Old Church, five miles, from which a
road leads TO Hanovertown another to
Dispatch Station, near Bottoms Bridge,
on The Richmond and York River Rail-
road.

CoNDENsING MILK.-The following is
a recipe for condensing milk Take two
quarts of new milk and put it in yes
sci over a slow fire, stir it to prevent
burning, until it is about the thickness
OF cream, add one pound of sugar, little
at time, stirring constantly until it be-
comes thick and stiff, then spread on
plates and dry in an oven or the sun,
and powder it with a knife or spoon
1t will dissolve in coffee and serve both
for milk and sugar, and make 'hard
tack" and coffee more palateble and can
be sent in papers.

now is. Col. Duryea entered the service

worked his way up to the position which
he is now compelled to resign. Such a
