A RICHMOND VIEW --Hardsst Battles Of
the War coming. THE Richmond Enqui-
rer of late date says: M n
ave are of the opinion that the next
two months will witness the bloodlest
conflicts this war has witnessed, and I'M
mediateIy around Richmond will be the
theatre of these conflicts. Are our peo-
pie prepared The army has the gov
eminent to look out for it, but have the
people OF Richmond prepared for siege
with all the railroads destroyed? The
immense population that now CROWDS
the streets of Richmond had better be-
take themselves elsewhere. There Will
be such suffering in Richmond this fall,
and winter, as has not been witnessed
during this war. The city may be she'll
ed for it's immense lines require vast
army to defend 1t. Its very streets may
be scenes of bloody battles, for 1t will
be defended as no other place has been.
| Upon holding Richmond depends, for
| us. everything Success and speedy
peace, failure and prolonged war are in
| volyed in the coming struggle for Rich
/ mond. ALI may be satisfied that the
contest will be desperate and all had
better make provision for their comfort
| elsewhere. There are required Tor the
defense of the city many thousand morf
| men. The details must be revoked anc
all men between the ages Of Is and Al
sent to the front. Buta very short time
remains for preparations. The railroads
that connect with Atlanta are being
rapidly repaired As soon as they ar
finished the movements will begin ant

REBEL OPINION oP MCCLBLLAE's LET
TER OF AoCEPTANCB.--The Augusta (Ga.)
Sentinel winds up a long editorial on
Mcclellan and his platform, and the in
fluence of the victory at Atlanta upon
his letter of acceptance, with the SUD-
Joined significant remark
Mcclellan was obliged to roar a lit.
tie about the inviolability of the Union
no Peace without Union, and other
such palaver of the stump. But THIS
week or next, when Atlanta is found
to be no such valuable acquisition at all,
when Mobile is found to be not even yet
besieged, and when from Petersburg or
elsewhere dark and bloody bulletins
NAV be again loading the teleSraphs-
there will be longer need for such blow
ing of the battle trumpet, and IL may
easily be made to appear that McClel-
lan's letter meant peace all the time
At any rate, if two or three stunning
Confederate victories will aid his cleo
ton we are very willing to help him by
these means exclusively into the White
House"
The @dark and bloody bulletins are
already out, but, unfortunately for the
Democratic candidate and his southern
hackers, they tell Of rebel slaughter and
| defeat.

A HOG PAHIc.-The General Government
having appointed agents to go through Ken
tucky and buy all surplus hogs, at eight
cents per pound, delivered in Louisville, and
at the same time issued orders prohibiting
any railroad or steamboat from taking hogs
out Of the State, some of the people are
much excited. The hog growers are dis
posed to complain that they cannot take
advantage Of the increased prices now offered
in neighboling States, and consumers are
of coming scarcity. The old
pork packers are also exceedingly dissatisfied,
as no others in Louisville are permitted to
pack this fall, except the authorized agents
established in government packing house.

ing off everything that he could find wagons
to transport. Bnrbridge followed, and ban
ished everybody who had any property and

body of the male persuasion that he could
lay hands on. and stole the under clothes,
linen, table-covers, and plate from its female
residents Then came Massachusetts re
cruiting agents. who ran off all its nggers;
aud finally. there comes Colonel Swaine
who is after Kentucky hogs. BY the time
Swaine has disposed of all the swine in Ken
lucky there will be little or nothing in that
State worth stealing. The following is Col
Swaine's order.
"Owners of hogs in designated districts
of Kentucky will receive a fair price for them
by sending hem to Louisville, Ky, con-
signed to Major Sinonds. No hogs can be

without a special permi, from Maj. Simonds." :"

In THE MUp.-A bout o'clock last eve

earn) were crossing Brannan street bridge,
over Mission creek, which is undergoing re-
pairs. For some distance the structure is
without floor, and persons crossing are
obliged to walk on narrow beam, the pas.
sage of which is risky even in daylight. At
The time these persons were crossing, dark
ness was visible even lamp was plac-
ed anywhere near the point of danger to
shed feeble glare where light is much need
ed The men essayed TO feel their way
across in the dark, when suddenly the fore
most went below. The tide was low, but
Just beginning to run in. The other man
started post haste fora lantern, when sudden
" he went below too The mud thereabouts
was soft, and deep they stuck. They bawled
ont Justify for assistance. Neighbors, who
surnised dire things, came in numbers with
haste. Matters were soon understood, and
ropes procured. In the meantime the tide
was rising. One of the men was up 20 his
waist in mud. A rope was made fast around
bis body, and his savors pulled in the name
of humanity. For a while it was question
whether the body would come up with the
legs, or without them; but there was no time
for consideration about triiles-the tide WAS
rising, and a half loaf was better than no
bread. Again they tugged, all hands, and
there was tension Of cords and joints down
below; but soon the man was started, and
came up dangling and dripping. He was
safely landed on the bridge, and attention
given to his companion. lie, too. was drawn
out; but when nearly up to the floor of the
bridge, bis fastenings gave way; aud
down he went head foremost this time
