THE LAST CABDs OF THE CON.
REDRRAGX,

All the Rebels in Richmond not much given
TO agreement agree now that something must
be done; yet as to what that something shall be,
they are as far from unanmity as possible. We
have read with care those newspapers printed
in the doomed city which have fallen in our way,
and the sum total Of all their advice Is that
something must be done. None OF them have q
plan; all of them shrink from the positive and
definite, and keep within the safe limits of the
looscst generalization, crying out that there must
be faction, though we suspect that an action
just now is precisely what they have the best
reason for avoiding. While there was a "Con.
gress," that body was expected 10 perform won.

restraint of Senseless quarrels" Others are for

writers of the Rebel capital sit modify in their
sanctums keeping up the farce of resistance yet a
little longer and bctraying in every sentence

When man is dying all his neighbors hasten
to prescribe for him, aud all of them to pre-

A strong effort is to be made to fill the quota
of this city and avoid the draft by securing sub
scriptions to the County Loan. Gen. William
Henry Anthem has taken the matter in hand,
aud makes an earnest appeal to capitalists and
moneyed institutions to take the County Loan

the counter Of Jay Cooke & Co., in Philadelphia
and said that he wanted To invest $1,000

The City Railroad Bills, which, it was ex-
pected, would be reached as the special order OF
the day in the Senate yesterday, did not come
up for consideration. Under the rules the third
reading Of bills took precedence, and call Of
the Senate further used up the time till the third
reading of other bills before the Senate occupied
the whole of the session. The advocates of the

ment to manage as little as possible, and never
interfere unnecessarily, or IN triaes and things OF
little moment. If we rule, It Is best not TO show
that We rule them. Ia one sense, this secret is
a wonderful economist; for one Of the cheapest
and AZ the same time one OF the most e~fectual
ways Of making people happy, especially where
pleasure il the syowed pursuit, is simply 70 leave
them to do as they like and choose their own
way Of enjoying themselves. To go where you
like and do what you like, instead Of what other
people like, OF what is expected from you, often
bring a sense Of relief, Of holiday, Of lightnes;
and jollity, which DO amount of show. no lavish
expense can In the least cOunterbalance. Young
people, and old people too, often only need this
to enjoy the most compl etc relaxation of which
they are capable; aud yet this is precisely what
