Query ?.-Is it the intention of
the authorities to put our wharf in
good condition? If so, no better
time could be selected than at the

wharf is a disgrace and a perfect eye

to this subject before, and hope that
it will not devolve upon us again to
notice the neglect.

A HINT TO BBEF-EATERs.-We all re-
member how, once upon time, butter
merchants made raid upon our pock-
cts, and how they were ingloriously
driven from the field. People stopped
eating butter There is no reason, I'M
less popular patience, amounting to
folly, be reason, why the same policy
should not be pursued now. Let peo-
pie refuse to buy meat for one week only
and there will be such a flutter in the
meat market as will prove how well the
shot has told.
The season renders a short abstin-
ence from meat healthy, in fact. A little
resolution, a steady absence from the
butcher, and he will have to tell the
salesman, and the salesman will have to
tell the broker, and the broker will mott
fly all whom it may concern, that the
further continuance Of high prices must
end, that extortion is about used up,and
that meat must come down. Besides,
these meat-men wonder and jeer them
selves at the public long suffering; and
while they take the consumers money,
consider him very ridiculous and gull
lible being. No; rather starve on poul.
try, and eggs, and fish, and oysters, and
the glorious vegetables and fruit and
pastry that are now so plentiful and
good. These might not be such very
bad fare for while, either !-Ne,0 York

past the conducto, of one OF the

seated themselves in the ladies' car.
They were drinking, smoking, swearing,

whereupon a captain in the party placed
the conductor under arrest and COM

at this juncture steppedup to the cap

the disturbance. Hold your tongue"

A characteristic letter from Gov.

in the matter of an application for par

Gen. Wn. Il. Carroll, very wealthy
and once prominent citizen of Tennes-
see, and the same who is suspected of
being connected with the rebel conspir-
ators in Canada. 1t was but recently
that Carroll employed counsel for the
purpose Of sueing the United States
Government for the use of, and damage
done to his property by the appropria-
ton and use of the same for army pur-
poses. He now asks for pardon, howev-
er, and his case was referred to Cover
nor Brownlow for suggestion. The
Governors letter in reply is received
He says =
This man Carroll, were he to come
within the State of Tennessee, would
not be permitted to live five minutes.
The people would not tolerate his exist

A SOLDIERS OPIKIoN.-Maj. Gen. Slo-
cum arrived at his home in Syracuse on
Thursday last, and met with brilliant
reception. In answer to the welcoming
speech, Gen. Slocum returned thanks
for the demonstration in his behalf, and
concluded by saying:
The field of battle is not the only
test Of courage and manliness in the
life of soldier. The long and fatigu-
ing marches, the labor in trenches, the
short allowance of food, are all tests as
severe as any presented by battle. I
have seen the men of my command, af-
ter working waist-deep in water, build
ing bridges over the rivers and roads
through the swamps of the Carolinas,
go quietly to their tent, and without a
change of clothing, make an ear of corn
supply the place Of the usual ration.
I have seen this frequently-and never
yet heard a word of complaint Hap
PLY, all these things are now over. The
soldiers work is done, and well done,
They return to you better men, physi-
cally and mentally, than when they left
you; | am confident you will find the
great mass of them uninjured in NOR
ais. Open you shops to them-give
them good employment, and l am Ger
tain you will find them as faithful as
citizens as they have been as soldiers"
