This infection is spreading among the citi-

evil. Two negroes have died of the G;rase.
We are not atprised Of the extent to which
it now prevails among the Yankee prisoners,
but are aware that large additional accommf-

66 Brook street, Hanover Square, 1868.
A neat pamphlet of fifty pages, with the
above title page, has been laid CD CUR table
It is an expose Of Robert.J. Walker, in
the nature Of a reply to certain letters Of his,
attribrting to President Davis completely with
Reputation. Who the author ia VIC do not
know, but whoever he is, he is both VOL in
formed and able writer, and exposes tue Little
s'Gnancier" in all the lights which his treaohe-
ry and Inconsistency has shown him. OF all
public men, Robert j. Walker should have
been the last to enter the lists against the
Confederate States, not that moral restraints
Of any kind are regarded by him. but the ease
with which he could be exposed should havo
deferred i.im But his wages had to be
earned. Chase having bought him, his private
and political character was likewise soid.-
The pamphlet has left little of him worthy Of
respect even of the Bright-Cobdeu party of
England.

depends on The fortune Of war. 1t may be
gratifying to the North to be formally assured
that the Government is strong and successful
enough to offer an amnesty. But it is eviden t
that Lincoln antci pates no pacific result nor
does the Secretary OF the Treasury, who looks
forward still to two years war expenditures.
