An empty pocket's tbe worst of crimes I Oeigis of rut: Wkstkrji Phairibs.—M. Leo Los- quereus, the well-known geologist, who has carefully studied the prairies of the Mississippi Valley, ascribes their general formation to the agency of water. He says : "All the prairies still io a state of formation along the great lakes of tbe north are nothing else but marshes slowly passing to dry laud by bIow recession of water. When land is continually covered by low stagnant water. Ita only vegetation is that of the rushes and of the sedges. When the same laud is alternately subjected to long inundations and to dryness, during some months of the year, tbe same plants continue to cover it. By their decomposition these inarssby plants produce a peculiar ground, either black, light, permeable when it is mixed with sand, as it is near the borders ofthe lakes, or hard, cold, impermeable wh en it is mixed with clay or muddy alluvium, as in some marshes underlaid by shales or clay, or along the banks of some rivers. Land continually covered with stagnant water cannot produce any trees because tlie trees require for their growth, like The Stick Plaster Currency*. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Thus wrote the delicate Keats, but Keats never knew the luxury as a stick plaster currency. Postage stamps, grummed with Lhe best adhesive, sticking to sweaty fingers, were unknown in his primitive age. If Congress had not adjourned, it is believed that it would have made molasses candy a legal tender by this time. It seemed to be trying to invent a currency that would stick to people. It is such a general complaint that money cannot be kept, that It was evidently tbe idea of this Congress to give lhe people-something that would itiok to them. Just think, too, how delightful this, currency is for my business 1 Willi hands all wet with compounding drinks, I am just prepared lo linger postage stamps! How they do stick, (hotie.h! By the way, why not make plug tabacco a legal tender? Have it put up in "cuds," from one cent upwards in price—it would do just the thin;;, just tbe thing that would not stick Thot-6 who use snuff might put it in envelopes after the fashion of postage stamps. If the war is to continue a year or two longer, I go in for "the legal tender cuds." Away with the postage twelve month. ■ If this is not speedily abolished, 1 shall begin to think seriously abont retiring from Behind the Counter , —N. Y. Caucasian. Some months since, says the Eoening Journal lady whose hair had been coming out previouly, caused her to wear considerable false hair, recuperated, and disposed of her false attractions to a hair dresser for a very moderate sum, as she no longer required the article. Shortly alter wards the hair dresser wishing to match soma hair, thought of this, aud upon opening the box found, not only the hair, but a valuable diamond pin attached, which had no doubt beeu forgotten by the lady when she sold the article.

John Law—A Brief Sketch of Him.—The Famous Mississippi Scheme. The January number of Soman's Bankers' Magazine contains a very interesting history of the celebrated John Law, the projector of the well- known Mississippi scheme and the author of paper money in France. Law's life is almost like a romance. He was born in Ediuburg iu 1761. His father was both goldsmith and banker. Youn Law entered into his fathers business at the ag of seventeen. He studied dill gently the principle of banking. When his father died, he inherited his properly, quit the business, and lived extravagantly iu Loudon. Several years passed. Meantime he became a famous gambler. His success was astonishing. But reverses came, and close on the heels of them a duel, ia which he killed bis adversary. He narrowly escaped the gallows. He theu wandered all over Europe and was distinguished in all the chief cities as a bold adventurer and successful gamester. But still he devoted many of his hours to the study of financial affairs. Ho conceived a theory in reference to paper money, which be proposed to several potentates, for he kept high company. Amongst others, he made the acquaintance in the gambling saloons of Paris ofthe Duke of Orleans, who hscame a convert to his theory. The King, Louis XIV. died • the Duke became Regent. He fouud France bankrupt, and knew not what to do. Law opportunely made his appearance, aod proposed to the Regent the scheme about which they had so often conversed. It was adopted. The results were startling. Iu ttie course of a year Law's notes rose to fifteen per cent, p roium. He attracted the attention of the wh kingdom, and his credit rose from day to day Branches of hisbauk were almost simultaneously established at Lyons, Rochelle, Tours, Amiens aud Orleans, Cheered by success, Law commenced the famous project which has bauded his name down to posterity. He established, with tbe consent ofthe Regent, a company " that should have tbe exclusive privilege of trading lo the great river Mississippi and the province of Lousiana ou its western bank." The country was supposed to abound in precious metals. Tlie capital was divided into 200,000 shares of 500 Itvras each. Law's bank had worked such financial miracleB that everybody expected the same dazzling success from the '* Mississippi scheme." The phrenzy of speculation seized upon lhe nobles and upon the masses. Everybody, high and low, wanted the stock. Crowds of thousands upon thousands crowded Law's house to buy Uie stock. Dukes aud Duchesses would wait for hours for an audience. Men who were poor in th-s morning fouud themselves rich at night. But at length both of bis scheme.:- failed, France was thrown into a worse condition than ever. The people who hud worshipped Law now became incensed agaiustbim Tbose who had humbly craved audience of him now demanded his execution - for ruin, aud through his means, had fallen upon thousands. He quit Paris poor, wheu he might have amassed millions. He resumed his old occupation of gaming, and finally died in straitened circumstance. It seems that he waB a sincere believer in his schemes, and attributed their failure lo mismanagement. rl was dis irged • t of th cumsi-'UtiLU evidence for life, through the d, and left for ps comes tbe article which ' t having stolen, left by iwner amongst her " thro Here is a specimen of c a poor girl's character ruii jat-elessuess of a vain worn thei ill have, irally.— San Joaquin lit Call foi barber Mil. the foi well M (Successors to Hawkhurst t&Son,) IMPORTERS AND DEALERS IN WOOD AND WILLOW WARE, AND MANUFACTUREE3 OF Brooms, Pails, Tubs, Washboards.

Wimt are w« F _bfli_ for Wow I It would seem to be the duty of every thinking-, cool, dispassionate man, if there are any among ns, to ask themselves at this jtmciore, what are we fighting for noivl We have been for nearly eighteen months engaged in a bloody fratricidal struggle, and there is no man so bold as to assert thst be can see the end of it. The reason of the war given at the commencement of it, was that a Majority of the southern people were En lavor of the Union, but that an enterprising and unscrupulous minority of secessionists nad defeated the popular will by chicanery, and plunged the South into disunion. This statement was constantly reiterated by the Tribune, Times, World and Post of ibis city, and our army was etyh'd by some of these papers. " the liberating army," going down to relieve tiie Southern people of a hated and deles'ed tyranny Thousands of soldiers wereenlisled under ibis idea, and no doubt cxpecied when they reached tbe South, to be cheered as deliverers, instead of being scowled upon as conquerors. Indeed, some of these journals even went so far as to assert that were there no Union party in tbe South, and were the Southern pt-ople united in desiring to with draw from the Union, then a war to force liiem to remain would be one of subjugation, and therefore wrong and unjust. These views were not only generally inculcated by the Republican papers, but tliey were enunciated by the President through Jlr, Seward, his Secretary, who, in a dispatch to Minister to London, Sated April at it would seem that (be Administration was acting upon tlie new order of IhlllffJ*. A general exchange of prisoners lias been ordered upon the basis adopted by the United States and Great Britain in the war of 1812. New army orders hare just been h-sued from Wasbingion which quarter our troops upon nil. Unionists and Secessionists alike. We are acting in all respects like Iwoeep arate naiions at war. That which was treated an an ''insurrection" is now regarded as ft war, aud we see newspapers and public Speakers calling upon the Administration to recogni/.e the fact that we are at war. Now, that was just what Mr. Seward declared lie would never d i. He said, in one of his dispatches to Mr. Adams, that the United States were not engaged in a war, bul only contending with some of their " 'm.-aii-rectictiai-y citizens," in fact (bat it was only it riot or a mob, wh-ch we would quell in " s.ix'.y dc.v:.'' But Irom recent orders it would seem ttiat tfce old policy has been abandoned, and Itie Administration now Bay to the world, we are at war. Tbe question then, aripes, what are we fighting for now? If there is no Union teutiment at tbe South, as nil the papers now admit, then,,of cmnse, we cannot have tbe Union again, certainly not until we get a Union sentiment. We mny, if able, subjugate them, but Ibis Mr. Seward and Mr. Lincoln have expressly disci nl med, What, then, are we flgbtiog for? We cau think of but one more possible object yet to be contended lor, and this is suggested to us by a passage in Mr. Lincoln's appeal to tho Border State men in regard to emancipation. He intimates vary broadly that it may be impossible to restore the Gulf States to tl e Union, and from this we draw the inference that we mast now be figbt- lagfor a boundary line. We should be glad to draw some other conclusion, but how can we ? Cong less refused lo declaie ihat we " are fighting for the Union." The Republican papers all say that there is no Union sen ii men t at the South, and Mr. Lincoln declares that if there ii- cone it would be subjugation lo restore an enforced Union, and he repudiates even the thought oi Ihat to all the civilized nations ol Europe, What, then, are we fighting for now!

A young lady—a sensible girl-gives the following catalogue of different kinds of lore ! " The sweetest, a mother's love ■ the longest, a brother's love ; the strongest, a woman's love ; the dearest, a man's love ; and lhe sweetest, longest, strongest, dearest—a " love of a bonnet." Mr. Adams 10th, IStil, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ " For these reasons he (the President) could not be disposed fo reject a cardinal dogma of theirs, (the seceding Slates,) namely, ihat the Federal Government could not reduce the seceding States to obedience by conquest, even although he was disposed to question tbe proposition. Bat in fact, the President willingly accepts it as true—only an imperial or despotic government could have the right to subjugate disaffected and insurrectionary Slates. This Federal Republican system of ours is, of all forms of government, tlie very one which is most unfitted for such a labor/' It is well to recur, at tbe present moment, to these statements irom the press and from tbePres ident. Tbey will show us where we started, and by examining our present position, we can see bow far we have wandered from them. To liberate the Union men, to restore freedom of speech, freedom of the press and an impartial ballot-box, indeed, to extend the Constitution to those who bad been unfairly deprived of it, was, at tbe beginning, the sole end aud aim of this war, so far as the Republican papers and a Republican Congress and President aunouueed it. To this eud, as our soldiers advanced into tbe Southern States, they were directed to scrupulously protect the rights and property of all Union meu, and to extend the severity of war only to those found in arms, or their aiders and abettors. It was believed that such a policy, comprising clemency to tbe faithful and punishment to the secessionists, would speedily " develope tbe Union sentiment, and restore the Union." "Rebels" were to be shown no mercy. We hesitated at first about regarding any of them taken as prisoners of war.^ Their privateers captured, wc declared we would treat us pirates, while as for auy exchange of prisoners with tlie " mob government" at Richmond, it was not to be thought ot for a single moment. An exchange of prisoners, il was argued, wouiu almost be equivalent to a recognition of tbe Con- lederute States. Such is a brief review of matters as they stood twelve mouths ago. How do they stand to-oay 1 Are we fighting to " liberate the Union men of the South" to-day? Are our armies hailed as deliverers Irom secession tyranny *» Are we carrying, as we move southward, the bless, ings of a free press, and free speech ? Let us see. Congress, at tbe last Beseiou, refused to re-affirm that we are simply fightiug to restore tbe Constitution and lhe Union. It also passed unconstitutional confiscation and emancipation acts 1 II adopted tbe Wil mot Proviso, and authorized the arming of negroes, and in numberless ways showed an utter disregard of the Constitution which it had professed so strong a deBire to preserve. The result is apparent. What Uuiou sentiment there was at, tbe South has beeu turned into in tense bate, and ihis day these same papers admit that the Southern people are a grand and mighty Unit. Tbe Independent, Henry Ward Beechcr's paper, says : " There was a divided public raind, a large un- dertoned Union feeling in the South, eveu afler the war began. It is absurd to talk of any such thing now. There never was such a revolution cf popular feeling on record. Dislike has become hatred. With insignificant exceptions, the South is a unit in intense and unchangeable hatred of the North?' If this bo the caBe, then, in Heaven's name, we aelc, what are we fighting for now? If public sentiment at the South is unauimous agalust us, what, then, are we doing but carrying on a war of subjugation? What, in this view of the case, becomes of Mr. Seward's statement to Mr. Adams ? Adjutant Lai her C. Biggs, who-laleiy arrived >m Port Royal, communicates to the New Sain Journal and Courier the substance of a cor- i ref-poiulrnci- with Mrs. Livingston, ot New York. '■ who was brought from Savannah under a rebei (lag of truce, after a sojourn of several months in Dixie. Tho officer writes as follows : Mrs. Livingston, whom I find to be a very inlci ligent lady, (and who is fbe wife of a captain in lhe Federal army,) says she has been treated with ilniforn kindness and respect since her detention in the South, which datea back to the commence meut of tht war. From personal observation, she believes Savannah may be tuken; bul Charleston never. She has seer, sixteen forts which are already completed, aud the rebels are s ; il engaged in making more numerous tbe fortifications between Fort Sumter and the city. Tiie enemy say there are lo be no mere New Orleans. There is no property, except real estate, within a cozen miles ol Charles too. All the furniture, stores, and indeed everything movable, waa sent into the interior immediately aftn- tbe battle of James Island. Two provision stores only remain- Many ef Ibe inhabitants reside about three miles outside the city, in barracks similar to soldiers, and use only the most indispensable and cheapest kinds of furniture. No Sabbath-day services ore he'd in any of the Charleston churches • all the church bells have been cast into camion, and eveu the iron railings aud fences have been collected together and madejnto cannon, lt is regarded a mistaken idea that there are Union men in the South. Mrs. Livingston dues not believe there is one. She never saw a people so united and so determined. There's not a lady iu the entire Confederacy who owns $50 worth of jewelry. It haB voluntarily been given to lhe cause, and the proceeds have built many of their fiuest boats. Tbe blockade is ineffectual. Site has seen three steamers enter Charleston harbor in one day; and during a short visit to Charleston, one steamer made three trips Co Nassau, N. P., bringing medical stores enough to last the entire army a full year. Nothing but tbe most common qualities of wearing apparel can be obtained ; and shoes are very expensive—the pair she wore, worth about §1 50, Costing in Savannah $12. Necessary provisions .vere cheap, but tbe luxuries were very expensive. A free market has been opened in Charleston, where anybody could procure, ou application, three pounds of fresh beef, and a half a peck of potatoes per day. Besides the heavy war and State tax, every male resident ofthe Confederacy is taxed S2 per year for the support ofthe families of soldiers. The utmost contempt and indignation is felt for General Butler, and that order is universally regarded as infamous. Tbe rebels expected to be defeated at Richmond, and bad made all prepara tion for falling back upon Gulumbus. which place was strongly fortified. The buildings fur Ibe cap" ital, and those for the residence of tbe officers ol State, had even been selected. All the ftotton lias been removed to the interior. Tbe Governor of South Carolina has caused all tbe negroes to be colonized near Greenville, some 300 miles in the interior. Tbey are under tbe supervision of agents appointed by tbe Governor, and are to plant c"m and potatoes for the subsistence of the army, and are to be fed and clothed by tbe Government during the continuance of the war. Very few slaves are to be found in ■' avannab or Charleston—they were so scarce as not to be procured lor servants, even when SI 50 per day was offered lor ihem.— The rebels were most sanguine of .:vir ability lo protect their independence— and regard it only as a matter of time. Boys of eight and ten years oj age were formed into ■' Home Guards" at Charles ton and Savannah, and had acquired so much skill iu the use of arms as to be able to hit a mark formed iu tlie shape ami size of a man at 30 rods. These precocious defenders, it is said, were to mount fences when the cities were Invaded, anil sbool down the Yankees. 1 Chicago, have recently ore or less serious riots, growing out of that natural instinct oi stipeiioiily in tho white race which disdains all equality with the negro. Thfl Causes seem to be that large i.umber of "con- trabands, stolen fiom their masters iu the South, have sought the large cities of ibe West, where they are forced to do something or starve. Being willing to work for litlle or nothing, tbey have usuipcd the places of tlie white laborers, who have been discharged to make room for them. This bus produced riot and bloodshed already, ami in Cincinnati, especially, the trouble itas been serious, and at one time alarming. In Chicago a white man was arrested, recently, for potting a negro out of an omnibus. Tlie Republican officials took tlie part of tho negro, but the JMry could not agree. There seema to be an evident determination on (be part of tlio Republicans io force an equality with negroes on society, especially among tbe laboring classes. In every instance where ic is possible, white men ara discharged and negroes employed. The Other day some two hundred Irish waiters, at Wijlflrd'fl Hotel in Washington, were discharged in a body and "contrabands" employed. Iu Albany we understand that Plan iv i,\ Hall Hotel, which employed fffrlfl, has just sent them all adrift, and have taken no- groefl, whom they pay but little more than board — In another column a correspondent, who gives us his name and address, states that white men have recently been discharged from tbe Staten Island ferry boat, and negroes employed in their places. Negroes have so accumulated in Washington, that we iir'/fisr.-dtui: :.t the passages of n-.jtny ty. the smartest are paid to New York and Philadelphia, and they are told to look out for themselves. In the meantime, wc are fighting to liberate more, for as our armies move South, all coming into ourlines are to be free. Tn shis way, should tbe South be overrun, the result is to free all tbe -'slaves," and moro or less wiU, of course, find their way to the largo cities of tbe North, where tbey will eke out a miserable existence, working a little, but living mainly on the labor ofthe whites. This is th'^ prospect before our laboring classes. If carried out, lhe Republicans will assuredly bring '•the irrepressible conflict" to their own doors. If tbey suppose thut ibe working classes ofthe North are going lo patiently submit to be made the equals ofnegroas, or (o be elbowed out of employment by "contrabands," they will be greatly mistaken. Tbey may us well take warning in time. Let theconflicc ol races once begin, and it will fall not only on tho miserable beings whom an insane fanaticism has distorted out of their appropriate positions, but it will soon reach those who have been tbe guilty instruments of bringing tliis state of things about. The western riots are but the faint niutteiings of the coming storm, for so sure aB the Abolition programme is consummated, there is no power that will bo able to stay the awful retribution which, sooner or later, will f.i'.l upon those who have been the wicked instruments of this outrage upon white men,—New York Caucasian. The Chicago Times says : Tbe Portland, (Me.) Argus reports the case of George H. Blake, of that city, who, after the capture of Hilton Head, proceeded to that place as a negro missionary, to propagate abolitionisin. He has returned, and now publishes his views on tbe present condition ofthe slave population and their mora! and intellectual fitness for freedom, He bad been of the immediate emancipation school, and the question as to what was to be done with Ihe negro had never entered his mind. That question troubles him uow. He protests against immediate emancipation for tbe reason that we " woubl have four millions of paupers for the Government to sustain, for, being incapable of self-support in its fullest sense, they will prey upon the communities wherever they shall scatter." He further sayB): " Before I had went South, Fremont had issued his proclamation, giving unconditional emancipation to the slav.:s in Missouri. I hailed that proclamation as o godsend, and most heartily endorsed it. I only wished then that our noble President would catch a similar spirit. I return north from South Carolina with altogether new and different feelings. My experience and obsef- ation, though limited have taught me a new les- an. There must be a controlling power over tho negro or%he present generation, educated aa ho has been under tbe system of slavery, else you ruin tbe blacks and weaken the Government."

Leo Los- quereus, the well-known geologist, who has carefully studied the prairies of the Mississippi Valley, ascribes their general formation to the agency of water. He says : "All the prairies still io a state of formation along the great lakes of tbe north are nothing else but marshes slowly passing to dry laud by bIow recession of water. When land is continually covered by low stagnant water. Ita only vegetation is that of the rushes and of the sedges. When the same laud is alternately subjected to long inundations and to dryness, during some months of the year, tbe same plants continue to cover it. By their decomposition these inarssby plants produce a peculiar ground, either black, light, permeable when it is mixed with sand, as it is near the borders ofthe lakes, or hard, cold, impermeable wh en it is mixed with clay or muddy alluvium, as in some marshes underlaid by shales or clay, or along the banks of some rivers. Land continually covered with stagnant water cannot produce any trees because tlie trees require for their growth, like The Stick Plaster Currency*. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Thus wrote the delicate Keats, but Keats never knew the luxury as a stick plaster currency. Postage stamps, grummed with Lhe best adhesive, sticking to sweaty fingers, were unknown in his primitive age. If Congress had not adjourned, it is believed that it would have made molasses candy a legal tender by this time. It seemed to be trying to invent a currency that would stick to people. It is such a general complaint that money cannot be kept, that It was evidently tbe idea of this Congress to give lhe people-something that would itiok to them. Just think, too, how delightful this, currency is for my business 1 Willi hands all wet with compounding drinks, I am just prepared lo linger postage stamps! How they do stick, (hotie.h! By the way, why not make plug tabacco a legal tender? Have it put up in "cuds," from one cent upwards in price—it would do just the thin;;, just tbe thing that would not stick Thot-6 who use snuff might put it in envelopes after the fashion of postage stamps. If the war is to continue a year or two longer, I go in for "the legal tender cuds." Away with the postage twelve month. ■ If this is not speedily abolished, 1 shall begin to think seriously abont retiring from Behind the Counter , —N. Y. Caucasian. Some months since, says the Eoening Journal lady whose hair had been coming out previouly, caused her to wear considerable false hair, recuperated, and disposed of her false attractions to a hair dresser for a very moderate sum, as she no longer required the article. Shortly alter wards the hair dresser wishing to match soma hair, thought of this, aud upon opening the box found, not only the hair, but a valuable diamond pin attached, which had no doubt beeu forgotten by the lady when she sold the article.

John Law—A Brief Sketch of Him.—The Famous Mississippi Scheme. The January number of Soman's Bankers' Magazine contains a very interesting history of the celebrated John Law, the projector of the well- known Mississippi scheme and the author of paper money in France. Law's life is almost like a romance. He was born in Ediuburg iu 1761. His father was both goldsmith and banker. Youn Law entered into his fathers business at the ag of seventeen. He studied dill gently the principle of banking. When his father died, he inherited his properly, quit the business, and lived extravagantly iu Loudon. Several years passed. Meantime he became a famous gambler. His success was astonishing. But reverses came, and close on the heels of them a duel, ia which he killed bis adversary. He narrowly escaped the gallows. He theu wandered all over Europe and was distinguished in all the chief cities as a bold adventurer and successful gamester. But still he devoted many of his hours to the study of financial affairs. Ho conceived a theory in reference to paper money, which be proposed to several potentates, for he kept high company. Amongst others, he made the acquaintance in the gambling saloons of Paris ofthe Duke of Orleans, who hscame a convert to his theory. The King, Louis XIV. died • the Duke became Regent. He fouud France bankrupt, and knew not what to do. Law opportunely made his appearance, aod proposed to the Regent the scheme about which they had so often conversed. It was adopted. The results were startling. Iu ttie course of a year Law's notes rose to fifteen per cent, p roium. He attracted the attention of the wh kingdom, and his credit rose from day to day Branches of hisbauk were almost simultaneously established at Lyons, Rochelle, Tours, Amiens aud Orleans, Cheered by success, Law commenced the famous project which has bauded his name down to posterity. He established, with tbe consent ofthe Regent, a company " that should have tbe exclusive privilege of trading lo the great river Mississippi and the province of Lousiana ou its western bank." The country was supposed to abound in precious metals. Tlie capital was divided into 200,000 shares of 500 Itvras each. Law's bank had worked such financial miracleB that everybody expected the same dazzling success from the '* Mississippi scheme." The phrenzy of speculation seized upon lhe nobles and upon the masses. Everybody, high and low, wanted the stock. Crowds of thousands upon thousands crowded Law's house to buy Uie stock. Dukes aud Duchesses would wait for hours for an audience. Men who were poor in th-s morning fouud themselves rich at night. But at length both of bis scheme.:- failed, France was thrown into a worse condition than ever.

Wimt are w« F _bfli_ for Wow I It would seem to be the duty of every thinking-, cool, dispassionate man, if there are any among ns, to ask themselves at this jtmciore, what are we fighting for noivl We have been for nearly eighteen months engaged in a bloody fratricidal struggle, and there is no man so bold as to assert thst be can see the end of it. The reason of the war given at the commencement of it, was that a Majority of the southern people were En lavor of the Union, but that an enterprising and unscrupulous minority of secessionists nad defeated the popular will by chicanery, and plunged the South into disunion. This statement was constantly reiterated by the Tribune, Times, World and Post of ibis city, and our army was etyh'd by some of these papers. " the liberating army," going down to relieve tiie Southern people of a hated and deles'ed tyranny Thousands of soldiers wereenlisled under ibis idea, and no doubt cxpecied when they reached tbe South, to be cheered as deliverers, instead of being scowled upon as conquerors. Indeed, some of these journals even went so far as to assert that were there no Union party in tbe South, and were the Southern pt-ople united in desiring to with draw from the Union, then a war to force liiem to remain would be one of subjugation, and therefore wrong and unjust. These views were not only generally inculcated by the Republican papers, but tliey were enunciated by the President through Jlr, Seward, his Secretary, who, in a dispatch to Minister to London, Sated April at it would seem that (be Administration was acting upon tlie new order of IhlllffJ*. A general exchange of prisoners lias been ordered upon the basis adopted by the United States and Great Britain in the war of 1812. New army orders hare just been h-sued from Wasbingion which quarter our troops upon nil. Unionists and Secessionists alike. We are acting in all respects like Iwoeep arate naiions at war. That which was treated an an ''insurrection" is now regarded as ft war, aud we see newspapers and public Speakers calling upon the Administration to recogni/.e the fact that we are at war. Now, that was just what Mr. Seward declared lie would never d i. He said, in one of his dispatches to Mr. Adams, that the United States were not engaged in a war, bul only contending with some of their " 'm.-aii-rectictiai-y citizens," in fact (bat it was only it riot or a mob, wh-ch we would quell in " s.ix'.y dc.v:.'' But Irom recent orders it would seem ttiat tfce old policy has been abandoned, and Itie Administration now Bay to the world, we are at war. Tbe question then, aripes, what are we fighting for now? If there is no Union teutiment at tbe South, as nil the papers now admit, then,,of cmnse, we cannot have tbe Union again, certainly not until we get a Union sentiment. We mny, if able, subjugate them, but Ibis Mr. Seward and Mr. Lincoln have expressly disci nl med, What, then, are we flgbtiog for? We cau think of but one more possible object yet to be contended lor, and this is suggested to us by a passage in Mr. Lincoln's appeal to tho Border State men in regard to emancipation. He intimates vary broadly that it may be impossible to restore the Gulf States to tl e Union, and from this we draw the inference that we mast now be figbt- lagfor a boundary line. We should be glad to draw some other conclusion, but how can we ? Cong less refused lo declaie ihat we " are fighting for the Union." The Republican papers all say that there is no Union sen ii men t at the South, and Mr. Lincoln declares that if there ii- cone it would be subjugation lo restore an enforced Union, and he repudiates even the thought oi Ihat to all the civilized nations ol Europe, What, then, are we fighting for now!

A young lady—a sensible girl-gives the following catalogue of different kinds of lore ! " The sweetest, a mother's love ■ the longest, a brother's love ; the strongest, a woman's love ; the dearest, a man's love ; and lhe sweetest, longest, strongest, dearest—a " love of a bonnet." Mr. Adams 10th, IStil, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ " For these reasons he (the President) could not be disposed fo reject a cardinal dogma of theirs, (the seceding Slates,) namely, ihat the Federal Government could not reduce the seceding States to obedience by conquest, even although he was disposed to question tbe proposition. Bat in fact, the President willingly accepts it as true—only an imperial or despotic government could have the right to subjugate disaffected and insurrectionary Slates. This Federal Republican system of ours is, of all forms of government, tlie very one which is most unfitted for such a labor/' It is well to recur, at tbe present moment, to these statements irom the press and from tbePres ident. Tbey will show us where we started, and by examining our present position, we can see bow far we have wandered from them. To liberate the Union men, to restore freedom of speech, freedom of the press and an impartial ballot-box, indeed, to extend the Constitution to those who bad been unfairly deprived of it, was, at tbe beginning, the sole end aud aim of this war, so far as the Republican papers and a Republican Congress and President aunouueed it. To this eud, as our soldiers advanced into tbe Southern States, they were directed to scrupulously protect the rights and property of all Union meu, and to extend the severity of war only to those found in arms, or their aiders and abettors. It was believed that such a policy, comprising clemency to tbe faithful and punishment to the secessionists, would speedily " develope tbe Union sentiment, and restore the Union." "Rebels" were to be shown no mercy. We hesitated at first about regarding any of them taken as prisoners of war.^ Their privateers captured, wc declared we would treat us pirates, while as for auy exchange of prisoners with tlie " mob government" at Richmond, it was not to be thought ot for a single moment. An exchange of prisoners, il was argued, wouiu almost be equivalent to a recognition of tbe Con- lederute States. Such is a brief review of matters as they stood twelve mouths ago. How do they stand to-oay 1 Are we fighting to " liberate the Union men of the South" to-day? Are our armies hailed as deliverers Irom secession tyranny *» Are we carrying, as we move southward, the bless, ings of a free press, and free speech ? Let us see. Congress, at tbe last Beseiou, refused to re-affirm that we are simply fightiug to restore tbe Constitution and lhe Union. It also passed unconstitutional confiscation and emancipation acts 1 II adopted tbe Wil mot Proviso, and authorized the arming of negroes, and in numberless ways showed an utter disregard of the Constitution which it had professed so strong a deBire to preserve. The result is apparent. What Uuiou sentiment there was at, tbe South has beeu turned into in tense bate, and ihis day these same papers admit that the Southern people are a grand and mighty Unit. Tbe Independent, Henry Ward Beechcr's paper, says : " There was a divided public raind, a large un- dertoned Union feeling in the South, eveu afler the war began. It is absurd to talk of any such thing now. There never was such a revolution cf popular feeling on record. Dislike has become hatred. With insignificant exceptions, the South is a unit in intense and unchangeable hatred of the North?' If this bo the caBe, then, in Heaven's name, we aelc, what are we fighting for now? If public sentiment at the South is unauimous agalust us, what, then, are we doing but carrying on a war of subjugation? What, in this view of the case, becomes of Mr. Seward's statement to Mr. Adams ? Adjutant Lai her C. Biggs, who-laleiy arrived >m Port Royal, communicates to the New Sain Journal and Courier the substance of a cor- i ref-poiulrnci- with Mrs. Livingston, ot New York. '■ who was brought from Savannah under a rebei (lag of truce, after a sojourn of several months in Dixie. Tho officer writes as follows : Mrs. Livingston, whom I find to be a very inlci ligent lady, (and who is fbe wife of a captain in lhe Federal army,) says she has been treated with ilniforn kindness and respect since her detention in the South, which datea back to the commence meut of tht war. From personal observation, she believes Savannah may be tuken; bul Charleston never. She has seer, sixteen forts which are already completed, aud the rebels are s ; il engaged in making more numerous tbe fortifications between Fort Sumter and the city. Tiie enemy say there are lo be no mere New Orleans. There is no property, except real estate, within a cozen miles ol Charles too. All the furniture, stores, and indeed everything movable, waa sent into the interior immediately aftn- tbe battle of James Island. Two provision stores only remain- Many ef Ibe inhabitants reside about three miles outside the city, in barracks similar to soldiers, and use only the most indispensable and cheapest kinds of furniture. No Sabbath-day services ore he'd in any of the Charleston churches • all the church bells have been cast into camion, and eveu the iron railings aud fences have been collected together and madejnto cannon, lt is regarded a mistaken idea that there are Union men in the South. Mrs. Livingston dues not believe there is one. She never saw a people so united and so determined. There's not a lady iu the entire Confederacy who owns $50 worth of jewelry. It haB voluntarily been given to lhe cause, and the proceeds have built many of their fiuest boats. Tbe blockade is ineffectual. Site has seen three steamers enter Charleston harbor in one day; and during a short visit to Charleston, one steamer made three trips Co Nassau, N. P., bringing medical stores enough to last the entire army a full year. Nothing but tbe most common qualities of wearing apparel can be obtained ; and shoes are very expensive—the pair she wore, worth about §1 50, Costing in Savannah $12. Necessary provisions .vere cheap, but tbe luxuries were very expensive. A free market has been opened in Charleston, where anybody could procure, ou application, three pounds of fresh beef, and a half a peck of potatoes per day. Besides the heavy war and State tax, every male resident ofthe Confederacy is taxed S2 per year for the support ofthe families of soldiers. The utmost contempt and indignation is felt for General Butler, and that order is universally regarded as infamous. Tbe rebels expected to be defeated at Richmond, and bad made all prepara tion for falling back upon Gulumbus. which place was strongly fortified. The buildings fur Ibe cap" ital, and those for the residence of tbe officers ol State, had even been selected. All the ftotton lias been removed to the interior. Tbe Governor of South Carolina has caused all tbe negroes to be colonized near Greenville, some 300 miles in the interior. Tbey are under tbe supervision of agents appointed by tbe Governor, and are to plant c"m and potatoes for the subsistence of the army, and are to be fed and clothed by tbe Government during the continuance of the war. Very few slaves are to be found in ■' avannab or Charleston—they were so scarce as not to be procured lor servants, even when SI 50 per day was offered lor ihem.— The rebels were most sanguine of .:vir ability lo protect their independence— and regard it only as a matter of time. Boys of eight and ten years oj age were formed into ■' Home Guards" at Charles ton and Savannah, and had acquired so much skill iu the use of arms as to be able to hit a mark formed iu tlie shape ami size of a man at 30 rods. These precocious defenders, it is said, were to mount fences when the cities were Invaded, anil sbool down the Yankees. 1 Chicago, have recently ore or less serious riots, growing out of that natural instinct oi stipeiioiily in tho white race which disdains all equality with the negro. Thfl Causes seem to be that large i.umber of "con- trabands, stolen fiom their masters iu the South, have sought the large cities of ibe West, where they are forced to do something or starve. Being willing to work for litlle or nothing, tbey have usuipcd the places of tlie white laborers, who have been discharged to make room for them. This bus produced riot and bloodshed already, ami in Cincinnati, especially, the trouble itas been serious, and at one time alarming. In Chicago a white man was arrested, recently, for potting a negro out of an omnibus. Tlie Republican officials took tlie part of tho negro, but the JMry could not agree. There seema to be an evident determination on (be part of tlio Republicans io force an equality with negroes on society, especially among tbe laboring classes. In every instance where ic is possible, white men ara discharged and negroes employed. The Other day some two hundred Irish waiters, at Wijlflrd'fl Hotel in Washington, were discharged in a body and "contrabands" employed. Iu Albany we understand that Plan iv i,\ Hall Hotel, which employed fffrlfl, has just sent them all adrift, and have taken no- groefl, whom they pay but little more than board — In another column a correspondent, who gives us his name and address, states that white men have recently been discharged from tbe Staten Island ferry boat, and negroes employed in their places. Negroes have so accumulated in Washington, that we iir'/fisr.-dtui: :.t the passages of n-.jtny ty. the smartest are paid to New York and Philadelphia, and they are told to look out for themselves. In the meantime, wc are fighting to liberate more, for as our armies move South, all coming into ourlines are to be free. Tn shis way, should tbe South be overrun, the result is to free all tbe -'slaves," and moro or less wiU, of course, find their way to the largo cities of tbe North, where tbey will eke out a miserable existence, working a little, but living mainly on the labor ofthe whites. This is th'^ prospect before our laboring classes. If carried out, lhe Republicans will assuredly bring '•the irrepressible conflict" to their own doors. If tbey suppose thut ibe working classes ofthe North are going lo patiently submit to be made the equals ofnegroas, or (o be elbowed out of employment by "contrabands," they will be greatly mistaken. Tbey may us well take warning in time. Let theconflicc ol races once begin, and it will fall not only on tho miserable beings whom an insane fanaticism has distorted out of their appropriate positions, but it will soon reach those who have been tbe guilty instruments of bringing tliis state of things about. The western riots are but the faint niutteiings of the coming storm, for so sure aB the Abolition programme is consummated, there is no power that will bo able to stay the awful retribution which, sooner or later, will f.i'.l upon those who have been the wicked instruments of this outrage upon white men,—New York Caucasian. The Chicago Times says : Tbe Portland, (Me.) Argus reports the case of George H. Blake, of that city, who, after the capture of Hilton Head, proceeded to that place as a negro missionary, to propagate abolitionisin. He has returned, and now publishes his views on tbe present condition ofthe slave population and their mora! and intellectual fitness for freedom, He bad been of the immediate emancipation school, and the question as to what was to be done with Ihe negro had never entered his mind. That question troubles him uow. He protests against immediate emancipation for tbe reason that we " woubl have four millions of paupers for the Government to sustain, for, being incapable of self-support in its fullest sense, they will prey upon the communities wherever they shall scatter." He further sayB): " Before I had went South, Fremont had issued his proclamation, giving unconditional emancipation to the slav.:s in Missouri. I hailed that proclamation as o godsend, and most heartily endorsed it. I only wished then that our noble President would catch a similar spirit.
