The Baby Market.

The New York Dispatch gravely asserts
that the sale of illegitimate babies in that
city is a large and profitable business, and SO
publicly carried on as scarcely to be clandes-
tine It says that should the King of the
Ashantese, or any other distinguished can
nibal, come to that city, and desire fine fat
baby for luxurioui meal, he could be ac-
commodated. These so-called nurseries are
numerous, and may be found in different
parts of the city, their whereabouts being
for the most part advertised in the daily pa
pers, the announcement being made in a
manner that DISCUSSES, but does not conceal
their real import. These places the largest
of which is situated in Greenwich street, an.
swers double purpose, that of relieving
those of the responsibilities Of maternity,
who do not wish to be 30 burdened. and be-
slowing upon those who wish such blessings,
the well-spring of pleasure "a babe in the
house" The seeker after infantile lowell.
ness can, upon application, be accommodated
to any desired extent; babies from one day
to one year old are constantly on hand or
provided to order, of any type of beauty, or
shade of complexion, and at prices ranging
from $25 to 5000, warranted sound, and in
a good state Of preservation at the time Of
delivery.
A reporter who visited one of these baby
bazaars, was offered sickly little English
male infant, II days old, with red fabby
skin, covered with crash" for the unreason-
able price of $50. A robust female child,
four months old, was exhibited, but the re-
porter did not enquire the price. A baby
boy one month old, who was good and gave
no trouble, was held at $75 A year and a
half old French boy, with fair round limbs,
hazel eyes, and curly black hair, was tick
etcd at $3.50 The matron in charge vol
unteered the information that babies just
then were "rather dull"

The Disfranchised.

| At the suggestion of many Of our readers
We re-publish the following, showing what
persons are effected by the provisions of the
Constitutional Amendment aud the Sherman
bill in regard to exclusion from Office and
from the ballot box. The following persons
are excluded
LIST. All persons who before the war, were
members Of Congress, or officers of the Uni
ted States, and afterwards engaged in the
rebellion
End. All persons who, prior to the war,
were executive, Legislative or judicial officers
of the State, and took the like oath, and en-
gagged in the rebellion.
This embraces Governors, members of the
Legislature, and judicial officers from Judge
of the Supreme Court down to Justice of
the Peace, who, at any time held the Office
and took the oath and afterwards engaged in
the rebellion.
Who, then, are not excluded? LIST. No
one is excluded because he held an Office un-
der the Confederate States from President
down, if he does not fall within ono of the
excluded classes above specified The sim
pie fact that he was a Confederate Senator or
Confederate General, or that he took an
oath to support the Constitution Of the Con-
| federate States, does not exclude him.
End. No State or County officer is exclu-
ded on account Of his having held the Office
and taken the oath and engaged in the re-
beliion, if he were not an executive, legisla-
tive or judicial officer; therefore, neither a
| lawyer, sheriff, clerk, tax collector, receiver,
county treasurer, coroner, surveyor, consta-
BILE or road commissioner is excluded.
3. AS no man under twenty. one years of
age, when the war began, held any such Of
fee as disqualified, and none of them took
the oath to support the Constitution of the
United States during the war, and as the war
commenced nearly six years ago, no man
under twenty-seyen years of age can be ex-
Guided.
4th. Militia officers are not excluded.
9th. The whole mass of our people who
fall within none of the excluded classes above
mentioned are free from the disqualification,
and may vote and hold any Office in the State
without regard to the part they took in the
war.-Petersburg Cypress.

Mexico. latest intelligence informs
us that the Republican forces of Mexico are
rapidly possessing themselves Of the whole
Of the Atlantic coast, thus cutting off the re.
treat of the Imperial army at and near
Queretaro, and diminishing the chance Of an
escape of Maximillian in case he should be
routed. The important towns of Orizaba
and Cordova have been occupied by the Lib
erals, who expected also to capture Vera
Cruz Immediately after the departure of the
French. The great battle between Maxi
milan and the Liberals was expected to take
place about the 10th of March.
Another Statement Manuel Guellen,
Maximillian's agent in New York, publishes
a card contradicting the statement that the
City Of Mexico was captured by the Liberals
on February 18th He states that he has
received information of later date saying
that Gen. Marquee had possession of the
eitv at the time referred 10.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1857.

ID. It is indeed sad thing for Virginians to
realize that The State Of Virginia-the {" Old
sDominion" :" Mother of States and Of
Statesmen" has no longer an independent
existence, but that her Government and laws
saiss merely at the will Of military COM
Islander, and all for attempting to maintain
thc rights for which she and her sister colo
nies contendcd in the Revolution, and which
:. were seized from the reluctant hands of the
mother country by the result of that war.-
= 1t is . sad realization that her sovereignty is
overthrown-her laws set aside, and, at the
mercy of single individual, she is to exer-
else only such meagrc political privileges as
may be vouchsafed her, until dominant rad
ical majority shall choose to allow her again
toenjoy those privileges which Virginia, in
no slight degree, aided to secure to every State
in the Union, and all this by the voice of
many of her sisters in that memorable strug-
gle, aided by the voice of her recreant chill
dren, who, having arrived at maturity and
about to launch forth on the sea of political
life, found, owing to the watchful care of
their mother, Virginia, their sovereign indie
pendence guaranteed.
We repeat, this is a sad realization for
Virginians, and, although the cloud which
lowers about us is dark indeed, we console
ourselves that it has somewhat of a silver
tinge We might have had tyrannical up
start placed in command of our State, who
would have made our position more unpleas-
ant than was even contemplated by those who
planned and advocated the military scheme
Of reconstruction. AS it is, we should re-
joice that no such tyrannical military COM
mandcr has been placed over us. Judging
from the tone of the General Order of Gen.
Scho6cld, in assuming command Of this dis
trict, which we publish elsewhere, he feels
that he is performing disagreeable though
obligatory duty. He expresses desire to
exercise the military power only SO far as is
necessary to accomplish the object for which
1t was conferred, and appeals to the people
and civil officers of Virginia to aid in render
ing the necessity for the exercise of military
power as slight as possible. This is praise
worthy in military commander, whose will
within his district is almost supreme, and who
might make our burdens intolerable.
We call the attention Of our people to the
tenor and tone of the above mentioned order
not that we believe any such appeal was need
ed. for our people are and have ever been
law loving and law abiding people, but that,
however distasteful the Military Re-construc-
MON bill-howeyer disagreeable the knowl-
edge that Virginia's existence is thus ignored,
they may, with us, enjoy even the little
pleasure it affords to know, since military
governor is decreed and appointed, that we
have one who, at least, feels for the people
oyer whom he is called to rule, and will, as
far as he can, endeayor to tighten the bur-
dcns Of military government.

-Four of the Committee, on the part of the
Senate to confer with the authorities at Wash

The action of the Legislature looking to a
call of Convention has softened the asperi-
ties of the radicals, and that if o bill was
passed in accordance with the s. s. s. bill
the authorities thought it would be produc-
tive OF harmony. Senator Ould made an ad-
verse report, stating that he had learned
nothing in Washington which would enable
him to agree with the report of the majority
Of the Committee.
The House considered the subject Of tbe
State debt. and the payment of interest there
