SHoDDY DAsH.--In noticing instance, oi
foolish ex,ravasance, so prevalent at this
lime in the great metropolis, ine New York
Tribune relates the following
We heard the other day of a most ridi-
culous dIsh" made by New Yorker OF
reported wealth now bu, who was not
long ago citizen of Rochester in moderate
circumstances. The distinguished gentle.
man made his appearance in Broadway in
a coach0and four horses wiIhas many SER
wants in livery as could be accommodated
Close by was his wife ir separate Carriage
drawn BY two horses-with servants in liv-
cry as above. Next came anoiher carr iage
with like appointment containing the chill
dren OF a very distinguished couple Cou Id

spectacle be presented for The conlem pla-
ton OF men OF sense

had been sent out. A cavalry force had
marched without opposition from the rear
of The army to Norfolk, and had returned.-
The Confederates were hard a. work Dig
ging inirenchments between the Federal
southern flank and the Weldon Railroad. =
They had large forces on the line OF the
road.
The Maryland expedition has gol safely
off They have entered the Shenandoah
Valley. The Federal troops followed them
to the Potomac, where there was some
slight skirmishing, but very few pursued
them farther. Gen. WrighI's Corps is at
Poolesville anc Rockville, and Reynolds Is
18Th Corps in near Edwards Ferry.
There is great doub. as TO the real condi-
lion of affairs in front of Atlanta. Ilis not
certainly known that Sherman has crossed
the Chattahoochee. II he has crossed it he
has no, advanced beyond the river bank
Johnson's troops are IN front OF Sherman
and between him and Atlanta. They have
not gone off in any other direction. The
guerrillas in Sherman's rear are playing all
sorts of pranks.
The Confederate prisoners are being
gradually removed from Point Lookout,
Maryland, to EImira, New York. A train
containing several hundred of them collided
with acoal iraic near Lackaay anna, Penn
sylvania, on Friday, and over one hundred
were killed and wounded.
General A. J. Smiths expedition, which
left Memphis some time ago to march east
ward towards Cor;nth, has been heard from
at Salisbury, fifty seven miles east of
Memphis.

Repeal Of The Commutation Clause.

After having refused 10 do so by large
majority, says the Lancaster In'eikgeneer,
ibe House Of Representatives has at length
agreed 10 the repeal Of the commula,ion
cIanse- This change was made in obedi-
ence 10 the express desire of the President
He insisted upon the sspeai, and he was
obeyed. Hereafter nothing will exempt
from the hardships OF the draft but such
positive and well defined physical disabili-
iy as will bring man within one of the
classes prescribed by law. The chances
Tor exemption on this ground are greatly
less than they were year ago, as the list
OF dIsquaIifying diseases and Affections
has been greatly reduced Men are now
taken into the service as conscripts who
would have been rejected if attempting to
enlis, in the regular army. The only pos
sible chance OF escape is in the procuraiion
of substitute, and This is an article which
will command fabulous prices on the recur-
renee Of she next draft, which must come
speedily. II cannot be Otherwise than that
great suffering must necessarily snsue from
the enforcement OF conscription under
the present harsh law. The rich man can
readily procure a substitute, bui such an ar
iicle Of luxury will ba utterly beyond The
means of those even in ordinary circum-
stances. Verify we are paying an enormous
price for The freedom Of the negro.
