In the rebel Senate, on the 18th ultimo,
during the consideration of the impress
ment bill, Mr.. Wigfall took occasion to
give bis views on the question of honesty.
1t was clear, he said, that if the prices OF
provisions, from the cupidity of producers,
continued to increase, and the currency to
expand at its present rate, the government
would be confronted with the necessity OF
reputation on the one hand, or of bank
ruptcy to the whole producing interests on
the other. He then added: H sa
If population is to be the result, he was pre-
pared to lay down his arms and surrender at
once, for the loss of liberty would be more toll
cradle than the loss of honor. If the country
is ruined by the incOntinent madness of the
people, every man of them viii he ruined if
it is dishonored they will all share the dishonor.
Let the leaders of the people and the press .ex-
plain these matters to the people. instead of
telling them that they will gain their indie
pendence but lose their liberty. Let Congress
pass such bill as he had indicated, and let the
members, when they return home, tell their
constituents the object Of the bill, and they
will receive the plaudit, well done, thou
good and faithful servant"

The report of Mr.. McKus1cK, in the
Senate, adverse to various bills for the es-
tablishment of State Asylum for the
Insane, and its adoption, will meet with
the appreciation of the people. He showed
that our insane can be accommodated for
several years to come, in the Iowa Asy-
lum, for 81, 900 less than. they could be
provided for at home. It is much bet
ter that we should wait a few years,
or until the State is able to establish an
institution on sound basis, and with suf-
ficient accommodations, than to rush into
an expense that we are entirely unable
to stand at the present time Let

We republish, (says the New York World
of the 9th,) from the Washington Star,
the letter written by Hon. JOHN NJ. Bo1Ts,
the steadfast Virginia loyalist, declining to
allow his name to be used in connection
with the United States Senatorship from
that State. A Fictitious interest attaches
to this letter by reason of the wanton mis-
representations of its contents made by
the Tribune, and to this day unretracted
That journal made itself vehicle of dis
seminating report that Mr.. Boris had,
in this letter, expressed opinions derogsto-
ry to the honor and loyalty of General
MCCLELLAN. 1t will be seen that the let
ter neither mentions General McCLELl AN
nor alludes to him. The story in the 7r.-
bune was wanton fabrication deliber-
ate calumny. 1t was fully exposed more
than a week ago, and We now again call
on the Tribune to retract its SANDER and

The Present and the Future.

There are but few Of any party who are
crazy enough to dispute the declaration of
the New York Journal Of Commerce that
"the call for five hundred thousand men
ought to be received by the people with a
sensation of relief, since it shows that the
administration is beginning to open its eyes
to the greatness of the war which stretches
away before US. The past few months
have been spent by the party in power in
telling the people that the rebellion was
crushed, the war at an end, peace visible
just before us. The delusion is over The
rebellion is strong, and its destruction de-
mands every exertion of our entire ability.
The sense of security was dangerous. Itis
now gone. We see the truth, and it is
well that the men in Washington now see
it. Let no one be slack in duty now. The
country requires all her means, all her en-
ergies, and the future is uncertain in any
other view. The new administration COM
ing in year hence must not be without
an army in the field. The oming summer
must not see a rebel army in the North.
Let the men who have been preaching that
the war is at an end learn wisdom, and
take hold now to make ready for new fields
of BATTLE" - nut.i,grt orb .,leI r.. t.'

Rebel Prisoners in Boston.
THEY VISIT BUNKER HILL MONUMENT AM
.4 ARE IMPRESSED THEREBY.

ROBERT TooMBs threatened to call the
roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill. From
some strange hitch in affairs this predic
ton has failed of fulfillment. Instead OF
it, We hear of rebel prisoners, taken in
arms against the government, visiting that
"sacred HILL" and actually enjoying the
sensation. We find the following in the
Boston Journal of recent date: ...
The detachment of rebel prisoners,
nearly three hundred in number, who ar
rived from the West last evening in charge
of the Chicago Zouaves, are now on b, ard
the United States receiving ship Ohio, I'M
dergoing the preliminary preparations for
service in the navy of the United States.
The men generally are well pleased with
their new quarters, and manifest much de-
light at the prospect of warm clothing and
an abundance of rations. They were d.
vested of their "butternut " uniforms this
morning, which were cast recklessly into
the stream, and after having been treated
to generous bath, they were supplied with
the bright blue uniforms of the Union
nsvy. Many of the men were very scantily
clad, and they were also remarkably filthy.
Nearly one-third of the whole number are
foreigners, the Irish and Germans predomi-
mating, and they are chiefly from Tennes-
see, Virginia, Georgia and Alabama They
are evidently unused to the Northern cli-
mate, from the slluddering expressions, at
the storm this morning, but with comfort
able clothing and an abundance of rations,
which have been so rare during their SER
vice in the Confederate armies, they will
have but little disposition to complain.
The magnificent proportions of Bunker
Hill monument, of which they had all heard
90 much, were looked upon with wonder,
and it seemed difficult for them to realize
that they were really beneath, the shadow
Of that honorable heritage. The majority
of them are comparatively ignorant, al
though there are q few we'll educated and
intelligent among them. One of the lat
ter, Tennesseean, talked quite freely
upon the " situation " of affairs in rebel
dom, as far as his knowledge extended.
He confirms the numerous reports from the
South that the people are heartily sick of
the war and are anxious for peace on any.
terms, and he has not the slightest doubt
but Bragg's whole army would desert in
body if the slightest opportunity was
offered! When told ofthe new call of the
President for half a million of men, he said
that fact, even if the number we're not
raised, would seriously dampen the already
declining spirits of the rebel leaders. he
characterized Bragg as merciless tyrant,
with very limited, military abilities, and ex-i
ittemely unpopular with his command. Ell

Local War Expenses.

. Some estimate may be made of the vast
amount paid by local authorities toward
the expenses of the war, by reference to a
recent report in the New York Legislature,
showing the sums paid in that State for
volunteers, in addition to all Federal ex-
penditures. The following. is summary
Of appropriations made by counties, cities,
and by the State: e''
By Board of Supervisors. ........ .$14 1863 1868
BY Common Council. ............. 6719,s48
BY Legislature. ...... ............ IL, $50, 497
1 Total. observation-disclosures. $34, 637, 1903
To the above several millions should be
added for the town appropriations, not
fully ascertained at the time of the report.
The grand total, including internal revenue,
is about sixty millions. r
