polls of the West, and the Queen City has
lost its honors in this department of trade.
Two hundred and fifty thousand barrels
are required for the pork, and one hundred
thousand for the beef, packed at Chicago.

1mnortant rrou., Canada.

Our Canadian neighbors are waking to
the fact that rebel raids from their soil and
rebel operations on It, are not calculated to
cultivate g friendly spirit among our peO-
pie. The Canadian Government have
therefore issued q proclamation to the
effect that no arms or. Or..ammunition, or mil
itary or naval stores shall be exported
coastwise, or by inland navigation or other
wise. 1t connection with this order it is
gratifying to know that the st. Albsns
raiders viii soon be delivered up.

The Condition Of the South.

NEW YORK, Aug. IL, 1864.
To the Editor of the Ncw York Times:
/ have just received the following most
interesting letter from Gen. Seymour, late
~ released from under fire" at Charles
ton. AS an old West Point officer, with
Gen. Anderson at Sumter, and stationed
many years in the South, he knows the
Southern people well. He is a brave, true
soldier, devoted to the Union, and, altho'
at the time of the unfortunate battle in
Florida he was accused of luke warmness
by those ignorant of his character, he has
proved by his action Oh many n battle field
as well as by his plucky talk to the rebels
last, that he was every inch loyal to the old
dag. Yours, etc. w. +. D., JR.
WILLIAMSBURG Mass, Aug. 10.
Nj DEAR SIR: You ask for my impress
sions Of the present condition of the South
ern COnfederacy, and you shall have them.
For the benefit Of our cause I wish they
miggt be impressed upon every soul in the
lend, that the confidence sbegotten OF my
three months observations in the interior
OF the South might be shared by every man
who has the least connection with the re-
sponsibllities of this struggle. And am
sure that these opinions are not peculiar to
myself. Every one Of the fifty officers just
exchanged will express the same-every
one Of them, whether from the jails Of
Charleston, or the, pens Of Macon aud An
dersonviiie, will confidently tell the same
story.
The rebel camse is fast failing f,or, er-
hd1tst'on. Their two grand armies have
been reinforced this summer from the last
resources OF the South. From every corner
OF the iand, every old man and every boy

Fort. MONROE, Aug. 25.-The flag OF
truce steamer New York arrived last
evening with 400 paroled Union prisoners,
in charge Of Mai. Milford.
The Richmond Exrminer of the ed con-
tains the following dispatch:
CHARLESTON, Aug. lS.-Capt Nicholson
with . greatly inferior force, engaged the
enemy's cavalry and artillery at Gaines
Vile, Florida, on the 10th, aud completely
routed them, capturing $50 prisoners, ono
piece of artillery and 100 stolen negroes
The enemy was pursued "a miles and scat
tered.
The Examiner also says Gen. Richard l..
Page, commanding Fort Morgan, is a vir-
ginian.
During Saturday afternoon there was
received at Libby Prison, from Petersburg
and other places 1349 yankees, including
80 commissioned officers, with Brig. Gen.
Hays, Of Gen. Warren's corps.
The number of prisoners near Ander-
sonville, Ca, is Sc, 600. The bad policy of
congregating such an army Of prisoners
in one spot must be apparent to the au-
thorities. The Yankee Government never
commit that blunder.
The powder works located at Charlotte,
N. c., was blown up some days ago, kill
ing three men and wounding several.
The same paper of the 10Th says:
MOBILE, Aug. l7.-Maj. Gen. S. Gardner
assumes command Of the Gulf District to-
day. The people are pleased With him.
Yesterday evening the enemy landed at
Montroe in Ave launches, our cavalry
fired on them, wounding several.
Hopes are entertained Of an early ex-
change OF the prisoners at Dauphin.
