From the Richmond Dispatch

General Grant tells Stanton, and Stanton tells an
keedom that nave nothing to resist him but old
aud chidren-that hava robbed the cradle and the
grave to make up army All this is very witty, and
very severe, no'6 DOUBT but wit and sarcasm not
useful in the capture OF cities and that is what is
quired of Gen Grant just at this mo- ent. His friend
and admirer, SaWney Bennett, said, when General
Johnston retreaedrom A1snassos that his whole force
did not amount to one .-2uSar[ men. And yet that
same force hunted his sometime tavorite, Mcclellan,
like deer around this CT = and left him EntiDg and
sbvering behind bis breas; works. and under the pro
tect:on Of Lis gunboats, twenty-five miles below the
city cannot understand hu Grant choo.ss to draw
the Which foggel him so often and so severely last
sumner. If be should plead that tie men the
same and hat he killed off all last summers he
roes, then lie ought to that according to bis
account he is he'd at lay at this moment by this very
army OF children and ccppes, and that it is not at all
either to bis own credit or dat of his army. Nay
when he calls for one hundred thousand men more 70
fight these crppies children and old men, stolen from
the cradle dragged from the hospitals or snached from
the grave, be ous hit to consider how bitterly be is
hecng upon the vdOr of his Yankee troops. One
hundred thousand fresh troops to fight handful Of
crpples and boys! What splendid compliment to
our troops! What must be the flower of that people
whose infants aud old men can hold at bay for three
months the flower of the Yankee army, commanded by
the most ren.wned of Yankee generals
1t is unwise in General Grant to make such state
ment with regard to tops for another He
is just about to open new campaign against them
If he should beat them after such description he
gives of them, be claim no great credit for bis
On the other hand, if they should beat him, (and
whatever ha may thibk, We assure him that every
Confederate believes he will be beaten the disgrace
will be dreadful beyond all example. At any rate,
however, We shall expect him. when he shall have found
himself beaten again, not to contradict himself and lie
like Bennett Stanton, himself, saying that these
troops are the flower of the Confederate forces.

portion OF the city exposed to the shells of the enemy
1t is folly to deny that these shells have done large
amount Of damage. They have done great deal o.
injury but with every item q damage has arisen the
uncorqussable determination of the people never to
submit tSeYankee domination. II there ever was a

The process now going on here is mere
ly consumption of capital by means pa
per notes, and there will be little change
until the stage of exhaustion is reached.
The opening of the Spring business will
cause increased abundance of money, since
it is mostly on cash basis. Generally
there is little demand for money, except to
supply goods to the Government, an 4 the
demand Is made good by the payment of
the Department. t# ..
A large dortion of the recent subscrip-
tons to the 5-20's is merely turning the
short paper into gold bearing stocks, and
gives the Department no relief. Thus the
gold-Hearing certificates as they fall due are
paid df-tbe interest in gold, and a new

Some holders prefer TO take 5-20s gold
stock. This gives the Departmental money,
and some months arrears are due the troops

in the Treasury to meet the claims. The
su descriptions to the 5 20s are checked by
the great scarcity Of legal tenders, matter
that the new issues of tue banks will rene
dy as far as their large denominations will
permit, but no small denominations have
been prepared, and the utmost distress is
likely to overtake the Department for want
of receipts in small notes suitable for pay

SpOilS from the south.

Numerous works Of art Of great inte-
rest and value, which have not paid duty
at the Custom House or been known to be.
long to any of our local Collections, are
constantly turning up at our picture sales.
Others are to be found in the hands of the
regular picture dealers, or are offered to
collectors by private Indiviriuals. g When
questions are put as to their ownership,
there is generally some hesitation about
answering them. Now, there is no diff
Guilty in arriving &C conclusion as to the
reason for this mystery. 1t is we'll known
to those who have visited the South that in
New Orleans aud its neighborhood there
were few families of any consideration that
had not collections, more sr less valuable,
of paintings and statuary, piGked up during
their trips to Europe. Many of these &C
quisitions are to be recognized amongst the
works that have found their way into our
auction rooms. They are the opin,a sp1lia,
not of the brave conquerors of the rebel
soil, but-ef the vultures who follow in the
train o, our armies. These fellows pilfer
every tGing they can lay their hands upon,
and works Of art are especial objects OF
their covetousness, from the large prices
they bring in New York. We have heard
ofone man-not New Englander, however
who went to New Orleans almost without
shirt to his back, and who since his re
turn has been enabled to purchase hand
some house up town with the proceeds OF
his picture stealing. We would advise
purchasers to be cautious about buying any
of the works thus offered for sale.

There can be no doubt that if the ppliti-

and tobacco, shake Lands and go home, the
South retaining her negroes and the Nortt

pathizers of the South; but is it not a short

The Mayor, under the State laws, has
taken the bold ground that the Confederate
authorities have no right to make alien
enemies citizens of Virginia; and looking
upon all the Inhabitants of Yankee land as
enemies of the State, and therefore sus-
picious characters, has had mum ber OF
them arrested and imprisoned, The FRO
jan horse and its results are not forgptteD
by him; and the fact that our ails and
penitentiary are being overrun by these
gentlemen of honor, who have He'd their
own country, does not strengthen his faith
in their promises, or make him at all desir-
Gus to see our overgrown population in
creased by the addition of such men. AS
several of these parties are to be called
before him to-day, when he will deliver a
legal opinion upon the right and propriety
OF parohng prisoners to remain here, 1t
would be we'll for the Confederate authori
ties to attend and hear him. Mr.. Mayer is
one of the best posted criminal lawyers in
Virginia, having served as prosecutor for
more than quarter of century, and will
therefore be able to give light to those who
seem to know but little of our laws, and
of the rights of Virginia and her courts.
