Oae of our reporters few days since,
picked up on board Of q Brooklyn ferry
boat, few closely written pages, torn
from q memorandum book. On exam
ination they were found to constitute
part Of diary, kept apparently by q
New York bank clerk. Thinking that
they may be Of interest to some Of our
readers, we have concluded TO publish q
few extracts from them:

He seemed much pleased at my devotion

ing, knowing that two of our Directors
were to be there. They saw me. Made
few telling remarks about the hideous
prevalence of misunderstanding among
young men. Directors were visably af-
fected. Borrowed SIPS from the bank
and paid livery stable bill
Thrrsday-Drupk again last night
Anonyma's fault though this time. and
not mine Told the President that had
to set up with dying friend, which made
my eyes red. Salery was raised to ST.
400 for my general faithfulness aud good
conduct. Borrowed $500 In the even.
ing went to the Gaieties and 10 the
Broadway Garden. Gave Maud BARGE
let Kate got away, and threw q glass
of beer at me. Mem-Got to 60 to
that saloon again. Left saloon az $3.50
and went to weekly prayer-meeting.
Friday-In the evening saw Anonyma,
and we had little difficulty. She wants
too much money. Can't and won't give
her thousand dollars tomorrow
Drank rather too much, and smashed the
furniture. She win be awful angry, I'm
afraid.
Saturday--Ifs all up. Anonyms
came down to the bank and demanded

The Army Of Northern virg inia

Tue N Y. Times does not think the re-
bellion'' is ended by good deal. The Ar
my Of Northern Virginia seems to give it
particular uneasness It says:
"'The army are equally devoted to the reb-
el Government What may be their fec
ling toward Davis personally. we have no
means Of knowing; though undoubtedly,
Ice could do with the Army of Virginia
WI ate e he chose. But they are now a
a les, bold, desperate body Of soldiery
The most of them have lost home, or ne
grees or land, or friends, in this stub
DO nly contested cause they are cared for
aud fed by the rebel authorities. at least
better than the civilians can take care Of
themselves; they consider their property (if
they ever had any, forfeited by the rcbell
ion; they have no home to return to; they
have lost the bonds Of civil life and are
thoroughly soldiers living entirely for the
spresent moment, and devoted to their gen
eral, and always ready to obey his orders.
General Lee can do with them just what he
chooses; if he wishes to fight to the last
ditch, they will probably fight with him.
If Lee and Davis agree, the army will very
probably continue still to b5 the powerful
military weapon in the hands Of the South
ern Despotism that it has been from the be-
ginning And tha. these two desperate
and able chieftains have, any thought of
peace, we have not the least evidenee."

REPLY.

The exemption bill referred to by our
correspondent, does not repeal or modify
the existing law on the subject Of exemp-
tons. except in. three particulars First, it
repeats the Fifteen negro" exemption
Secondly, it abolshes all exemptions and
details grantea6y the President or Secreta-
RI of Var to persons under forty years Of
age. except light duty men and artizans
mechanics ard scientific men employed by
or working for the Government. Thirdly;
it restricts the exemption of mail contrac+
tors and drivers to contractors personally
engaged in executing existing Contracts
The rest ofthe present exemption law re-
mains in full force.
It may be proper to explain, as to the
second head Of the bill, that it applies only
to what The public know as "details, al
though exemptions are mentioned. But
these are the exemptions which the ext ist-
ing law authorizes the President or Secre-
Etary Of Warto grant, not those VII Oh arc
granted by lua0, sach as those of public Off
GERS, preachers. teachers, &c. 1t lis under
stood that the President and Secretary Of
War have not been in the habit of granting
exemptions. they havee made details =
The bill revokes both, and prohibits both
for tho future. except as before explained.
The bill requires the bends Of exempted
and detailed men when they are cal ed into
service to be abated in proportion to the
time they may lose Of their exemption or
detail for year, -tSenttnee.
