TIE PReCONsULATES.

We were mistaken, few days ago, in
saying that the Brigsdiers in command
of the Districts composed Of what were
ence States, have no power under the
Bill and Supplemental Bill of abomins-
tiOns to remove and appoint judges.
The first section of the original act sub
jects those districts to the military, and
not to the ciUH authority of the United
States and section six is in these words /:
SECTION 6. Alid be It further enacted,
That until the people of said rebel states
shall be by law admitted to representa-
ton in the congress of the United States,
any civil government which may exist
therein shall be deemed provisional only
and IN al respects subject to the par
amount authority OF the United States,
at any time to abolish, modify, control
or supesede the same and in all elections
to any office under such provisional gov
ernments all persons shall be entitled to
vote under the provisions Of the fifth sec
ton OF this act and no person shall be
eligible to any Office under any such pro-
visioEal governments who would be dis
qualified from holding office under the
provisions of the third article of said con-
stitUtional amendment.
It Is not Congress. but the paramount
authority which the bill has expressly
declared to be the Military authority Of
the United States, that may at any time
abolish, modify, control or supersede the
provisional Government of the States.
The General may destroy the Govern
ment in whole or part, at his pleasure,
may annui every law in force in State,
and every right Of every man may
annul all contracts, even that of mar
rlage, and, if he likes, hire the white
men out 10 The negroes, eOnfiscate all
they have, and close the churches and
Masonic Lodges, and deny dead rebels
the privilege of burial. 1t is the gov
ernment Of the latter CEsARs and the
Gar PETER the Great, and they ring
the bells, in the North, when they hear
that such governments are established.

A correspondent of the New Yark
World, writing from Richmond, Va, on
the 9th Of March, says:
TERRIBLE DEPRESSION IN TRADE.
If trade continues IS dull and employ
ment as scarce as it is now, two thirds of
the business men of the south will fail,
and thousands of artisans and labOrers
will starve. The general distress here is
frightful. People having property and
who are anxious to sell to keep them
from want can get little or nothing for it.
A house that would bring five thousand
dollars year ago would not bring two
now, and 80 in respect to lands and all
other descriptions OF property. Respect
able and once wealthy families have had
TO dispose of everything of any value in
their possession to keep themselves from
starving. What they are to do in the
future is to them q perfect mystery.
The prospect is a dark and dreary one.
All seem to have the most agOnizing ap-
preheDsiOns of the future, for they see
not ray of hope to cheer and encOur-
age them. Pieces of property are being
daily sacrificed by forced sales, under
deeds of trust given to raise pittance
for the purpose of meeting present
wants-in short, warding off starvation.
No one not intimately acquainted with
the condition of the people here can
| form any idea of the extent of the suf-
| fering which now prevails. A highly
respectable and talented gentleman told
me, as late as yesterday, that he had
been fasting for two days for want of a
| trifling pittanee Of quarter or half a
dollar to purchase a meal. This is but
one of a thousand such instances in this
city: and the most discouraging feature
| in this sad scene is, that no one is able
| TO relieve his distressed and suffering
| neighbor, however willing he may be 10
| do so. / have heard many regrets
! that death had not taken them
before they were brought to their pFeseu {
| awful condition. Even if relief could be
obtained by soliciting it, it is questiona-
| BILE whether many who are sufferip g
would not endure any privation, short
of death, rather than reveal their pow
/ ertv by an application for aims. 1t is 8
natural pride in parties, especially, who
never before experienced want, but there
is reason TO fear that it is INDUCED at too
great a cost. A million, or twenty mill
lions of dellars would not cover the dis
tress now existing at the south. II is
too general to be relieved fully. par
tiaI abatement Of it is the most that can
be done by any effort OF charity. The
south is to-day one sad, desOlate scene of
mourning and sorrow. The people seem
persuaded that an early retribution will
| overtake the authors of such woe and
suffering.
