The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin and the Cleveland Leader, influential sdministration are both out for the repeal of the papers, Income Tax Law. They give the following reasons for it: 01.

The Frost and the Fruit. The Springfield (Ohio) Newt of Peiday General Pog was behind time on Thursday night, and General Frost had the country to himself.

He did not have time, howto destroy all the fruit. In some ever, places, cherries, apples and pears do not appear to be at all injured; in Strawberries places are injured severely. are partially cut off. The trees are so full of young fruit that half the crop might be cut off, and then leave a pretty fair supply. Grapes are badly nipped in some places.

The Pitinbung Commercial of Saturday last The severe frost of Thursday night, it is feared, will prove very disastrous in this region, particularly to grapes, and strawberries, and perhaps in peaches and other fruit. In many places ice formed an inch thick, and the frost took a fatal hold on nearly every thing not advanced beyond its influence or in some manner protected. The result of our inquiries lesve but little doubt that the grape crop, on a wide belt of country, had been seriously and affected, all ten- if not wholly cut off. Strawberry der plants have been common sufferers. There is no reason to hope that peaches have, to a very considerable extend, escaped, though, as to that, our information is very indefinite.

FROST- The Steubenville Herald, (Ohio,) of Monday, says: frost, or rather the freezes of Thursday and Friday nights last, played amash among garden vegetables and frite in some sections. Tomato and cabbage plants, off from the river, were pretty nigh all killed, this region- one gardener on the bill back of town lost 25,000 tomato plants. The grape crop in Hutterly's vineyard, mile and a half west of the city, will not be worth gathering. Peaches; plums, are also badly nipped. The damage, however, the case generally with frosts and freezes, more severe in some localities than others.

Isinseas Colonial Standard, of Jammies, has the following startling intelligence; "Prom a conversation which we have had with a gentleman who returned to this city from Cuba, in the Jamaica packet, we learn that matters in Cuba have begun to assume very threatening aspect. There was evidently a deep and bitter feeling of revenge slumbering among the negroes, which only awaited a favorable moment to burst forth with immessurable fury. Already had sereral estates been burned by the torch of the incendiary, and so deep and silent was the plot which had been laid for carrying out these seta of incendiariem, that no clue to the perpetrators had as yet been discovered, At Guantansamo, where the first two fires an overseer of a large property had been murdered, and two companies of troops had been sent thither from 8t, Jago in order to suppress any attempt at rebellion. On the departure from St. Jago, on the evening of the 22d of March, of the Jamaica packet, two large fires were plainly seen from the deck.

Little doubt is entertained by our informant that they will be found to have been owing to further acta of incendiariam. Our next advices from Caba, then, may be anxiously looked for, although the Government is most watchful in keeping from the public the lesst information which might give a clue to the present wide-spread Tax Easter Sunday pageant, in Rome, was very successfal, At about half-past twelve the great bell and the little bells of St. Pebegan to sound, a sign that the procession was on the move, and there was a general murmur among the crowd, and a clashing of arms among the soldiers. Cardinals' silver cape began to appear above the balustrades as their Eminences took their places, and, last of all, borne in his chair of state, came the Pope, emerging from the darkness of the inner chamber, wearing his triple crown, and elothed with a gorgeous crimson robe. As a spectacle, aided by the architectural and atmospherical effect, says an eyewitness, nothing could be grander.

As His Holiness scattered the indulgences, there was waiving of white handkerchiefs 'and about from those who were massed on the steps in front of the church; the Pope gave his benediction, and the cannon announced it to the city and the world. A repose of few hours, and then all the world was racing down again to 8t. Peter's, to witness that unique spectacle the illumination of the facade and the dome. There was sudden flash is the there be light, and there was light," and a marvelous creation meets the eye. There are columns, and cornices, ands vast cupola, and the cross, connecting earth with Heaven, and yet it is immaterial, celestial, and so you gaze almost awestruck till one hour of the night, when, at the signal of torch, all this stranspareney of light bursts out into tenfold greater brilliancy.

A DEMON In Jersey Coanty, Ill, there was recently arrested a man named Tucker, under the following revolting circumstances, detailed in a letter to the Alton Demosrat: "Tucker, it seems, who lived in Rockbridge, Macoupin County, was in Brighton and wanted 10. go to Rockbridge. Bo he hired a boy named Warren (the only child of his parent), to take him there. The cent rains had swollen the Macoupin Creek, which they had to cross, so high that it was impassable. When Tucker and the boy the creek, they found a number waiting, being afraid to cross.

Tucker insisted on the boy going in, when the boy commenced to ery. Tucker pulled out his revolver and threatened to kill him if he did not go aver. The boy, compelled by fear, drove in, and both the boy and horse were drowned, while swimmer. Tucker swam Those to present shore, re- he being good quested him to save the boy, bat he said, the little rascal He only regretted "having lost his revolver. They seized Tucker, tied him, and took him to Require Hart, where he was examined and committed for murder.

Heis now in our jail, awaiting the setion of the Grand Jury. I understand that the women present wanted to drown but the men interfered."

(From the Louieville Democrat, May 1 FRANKFORT CORRESPONDENCE. FRANKFORT, May Editora -James Harian, Conservative candidate for the House of Representatives, opened the canvass to-day, by' a specch in the Court-house. We shall attempt no resume of his speech, sa we: took no notes, and consequently shonid not, in the nature of the case, do him justice. wAs the Constitational amendment constitotes the entire platform of the Radicals in Kentucky- least in this section- their county and district conventions adopting no resolutions other than one expressing the conviction that the amendment is demanded, he confined himself exclusively to the suasion of that question, and demonstrated most conclusively the utter inexpedieney, injustice, and ruinous consequences of the measure. He his the subject well in hand; made his points aptly and sustained them ably, eloquently and effectively, demonstrating that, whatever might be the professions of the Kentucky Radicals, it was the parpose of the party at the North, with whom they are allied, and whose interest they subServe, through the medium of this amendment, to divest the States of all legislative control of the negro, and transfer the whole subject to the Congress of the United States, and by that means confer upon him.

all' the rights, privileges, and amanities of citizens; that they will claim, under the second s0otion of the the power and the right to do this, under this idea. There are two principles involved in the first section of the amendment the abolition of slavery; second, its prohibition in all future time. Now, to abolish slavery, no legislation other than the adoption of the amendment is necessary. It is to prevent the reensla rement of the negro that legislation is necessary. The second section of the proposed amendment confers the power upon Congress to enforce the first by "appropriate legislation," without any sort of limit, which leaves the character and amount of legislation wholly within the discretion of that body.

What act of Congress would so surely prevent the of the negro, in some form, by future State action and unfriendly State legislation, as an act declaring him a citizen of the State where he may be found an elector at the polls? The fact that such is the design of all the leading spirits of that party, he demonstrated beyond the influence of doubt, by quotations from their writings and speeches of recent date. He refuted the silly cant that slavery is dead, and therefore the amendment must be adopted, by simple statement that if slavery be dead, and that death is to redound to our interest, we may just as well wait quietly and enjoy the humane work of the philanthropists who have given us the boon without, at this late period, making ourselves ridiculous, by joining the faneral procession, erying well done," when all the world will know full well that we are not sincere in the ery, but are merely chiming in becouse of the pressure. The people of the United States will understand perfectly that If Kentucky 1 now raise the cry of abolition, it will be a by pocritical cry, made only with the hope of currying favor with those who have benefits to dispose of. It can amount to nothing but stultification. He also successfully refuted the argument of its neceesity, as a means of securing labor to the State.

But we stated in the outset that we should undertake no report of his speech, and we will not. What we have said above, we give, not as literally his language, but as the embodiment of -some of the ideas which he presented. Very many other points were made, and, altogether, the speech was a success- -doing honor to him, and auguring for him an influential and useful career in the next Legislature, for he will certainly be elected by a very large majority. fare have arrived, and there little probability of quorum to-morrow. A rumor is current that Judge Bullitt's resignstion is in the hands of some friend, and at the proper time will be presented.

We do not know what foundation there may be for this rumor, but apprehend, if it be true, that there will be but an adjournment sine die, as the investigation of his case is the only and special business of the session. Another word, "and we have done." The Conservative men of Kentuck should at one organize thoroughly, and prepare for the canvass. They seem now to be floating on the tide of events, haphazard, without any sort of arrangement or concert of action. No committees in the districts and counties, no conventions, no documents, no organization. This is not the mode of warfare to insure successful campaign.

The prudent and far-sighted General, before starting forth on grand enterprise, to attack the enemy, or to repel his cam mons his subordinates, bolds council of war, agrees upon the details of the situation, forms his combinations, settles the strategetic points, establishes his base, maps out line of march for each division, and assigns each command its work- else, matter what his superiority of numbers, the result is failure. "A word to the wise," PICA. Petroleum on Green River, tacky. The following communication appeared in he Evansville Journal of the 16th: From information received, we learn that two all wells, in the Green River section of country, bave been sunk within the past few weeks, and the result has been two Bowing wells, giving each a daily yield of one hundred barrels or over, of a superior quality of Petroleum, worth, at the wells, $10 per barrel. We have examined speciof oil-rock brought from there, which are filled with oil, and burn almost as freely as coni itself.

Specimens of this sand-stone rock Alled with oil, may be seen at the office of Law Anthes, and we advise all who can, to examine the same and see for themselves, specimens as rich as can be found on the famous Oil Creek in Pennsylvania. We predict that before the summer is over, Evansville will become a great mart, from oil produced on Green River, and that immense fortunes will be realized, as in Pennsylvanis, does not admit of doubt. As soon as we learn the details as to the two Bowing wells of 100 barrels each daily, as referred to, we shall give your renders all the information we possess in to this new source of wealth to Evansville: Its results can not be over-estimated. A company has, we understand, been organized in this city, under the most liberal character, from the State of Kentucky, under the name and style of "the Bouthern Kentucky Coal Mining and Transporting Company, with a capital of $200,000, in of $60 each, to develop some 2,000 seres of land in the best oil-producing territory on Green River. The books will be opened in a few days, and a limited amount of stock offered to the public.

From the high character of the parties who have taken this in hand, there is every assurance, not only of its complete succers, but of the high value of the stock as an investment, and its large dividenda to the stockholders. The capital will be increased to $500,000, and those who subscribe now will be entitled to their share of the increase as so much profit earned. Petroleum hereafter will form new element in the trade of Evansville, as an old and experienced and wealthy merchant remarked, colipsing, every other article nOW shipped from OBSERVER. THE OF A MODERN LADY'S A A writer signing herself 4 writes follows to the Pall Mall Gazette of London: There is yet another important part of a finished lady's maid's duty, which is commonly thought to bes novelty; but it is, in fact, only a revival. She must be a comartist in pastel painting, on (not from) the life; and proficient in the use of cosmetics, paints, and dyes; so general is the use of rouge for the cheeks, kohl and antimony for the eyelids; pastel for the brows, belladonna to drop into the eye to crease the size of the pupil, bistro to stain the eyelids, blue for veining the temples, bloom of Ninon and plane de perle for the general skin, and various seid dyes to discharge the natural color of the hair and turn it to the fabionable 'palma vecchio' reddish yellow.

Most of these beantifers need skillful hand to apply, and are by no means safe when Yet so frequent is the use of them by ladies, young as well as old, Chat a finished maid is expected to know how to pat them on and how to get them off again, which last is not always so ossy."

Browarville Ranchero, 15th nit.) Captain John Williams, State Cotton Agent, left Brownsville, about ten days ago, for the inferior, having in his possession some $48,000 in specie, belonging to the State.

When near Clinton, Dewitt County, he was attacked by a party of armed men, who robbed him of the entire amount, and shot and wounded him severely, besides. It is reported that Captain Williams killed one, and wounded two or three of the robbers in the melee. The above news we give as told to us. THE SURRENDER OF DICK TAYLOR- -SPEECH OP COLONEL WATTS. Colonel U.

G. Watts, of the Confederate Exchange Buresu, made speech on the morning of the 6th, to the Confederate prisoners on the wharf-boat at Vicksburg. The following is the Herald a report of his r6- marks: FELLOW SOLDIERS: I have received, this morning, official information of the surrender of Lieutenant-General Dick Taylor. am afraid the Confederacy is no more! Jackson is no longer ours! I am now the only man who has authority to parole you.

You will remain at your homes until further orders. THE CAPTURE OF R. M. T. HUNTER.

The Richmond correspondent of the Philsdelphia Inquirer, writing under date of the 11th confirms the report of the capture of R. M. T. Hunter. The account of his arrest is as follows: On the 9th Colonel McIntyre, 20th New York Regiment, received orders to 8T- rest Hunter.

Attended by Captain Carter, with forty cavalry, he set off, and, under the guidance of an old scout, reached Hunter's residence, at Lloyd, in Essex County, Tuesday noon. Inquiries established the fact that Hunter was at the house of a neighbor, dining. Thither Colonel Molatyre followed, and, entering the room where the company were assembled, took Hunter into custody. It is said he manifested no surprise, and followed the Colonel without remonstrance. He was pat into an ambulance; when the party immediately returned to Richmond, where it arrived late on the evening of the 10ch.

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN VIRGINIA, (From the Petersburg Bishop Johns has issued the following address 16 the clergy and laity of his diocese. It will be read with interest: To the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese of Virginia: The issue of the painful conflict through which we have passed, and which leaves this Commonwealth under the jurisdiction of the United States, renders very clear the course proper for us to pursue. Obedience to "the powers that be" "for conscience is the duty of all who profess to call themselves Christians. And such are also enjoined to make prayer and supplication for their rulers, it is incumbent upon them to implore the blessings of Almighty God on those in authority over tHem.

For this purpose, the form to which we had long been accustomed is, for obvious reasone, most advisable. Therefore, I do not hesitate to recommend ita use in public worship by the good people of this diocese, and to express the hope that they will be true and faithfal to its spirit in all their sotion and intercourse with their -oiti-that the resumed civil relations may be happily maintained, and redound to the glory of God and the temporal and spiritual welfare of the Nation. J. JOHNS. Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Virginia.

The annual meeting of the Diocesan Counoil is deferred. Due dotice of the time and place of meeting will be given IN THE SHENANDOAL VALLEY. (Froth the Hagerstown (Md.) We have received several letters from intelligent parties since our last issue, giving us somewhat detailed accounts of the privatione and sufferings endured by the inhabi itanta of the Shenandoah Valley, in the region of country stretching from Strasburg tbrough the counties of Shenandoah and Rockingham to. Augusta. The parties reside in the country that has been stripped and desolated, and they hare the meane of knowing: nay, more, they have felt and realized the terrible misfortunes that have befallen the Valley from the clash of arms and the march of hostile armies.

We have also conversed with an intelligent friend, who formerly, resided at Edinburg, in dosh County, and who has been compelled to bring his family into more favored locality, to keep them from starving, and he gives a deplorable picture of the sufferings and privations of these unfortunate people. But a small amount of grain is in possession of the inhabitants, and what little they have, it is hardly possible to get ground for want of mills, all having been burned, except five or six, in the extent of country in which we speak. In many instances corn has been pounded, baked, and consumed in a rough state, and our informant states that he is familiar with instances where the people have mixed middlings with bran and baked it into bread, in order to stretch the food. Cattle, hogs, and sheep have been swept SWAY, and but few horses remain with which. to cultivate the ground and raise a crop the present season.

It is hard to realize and believe that such a state of things exist, but it nevertheless is fearfully true. The details of the sufferings are painful to dwell upon, and we would fain turn to a more pleasant theme, but the starving women and children of this once fruitful and hospitable valley, demand that for the sake of humanity we speak, and interest ourself in their behalf. Fire and sword, alas! have marked too well the "war-path," and now. that peace is at hand, and the inhabitants are "turning their weapons of war into pruning books and plow -shares," let de render them what assistance and give them a fresh start. It will be a long while before sufficient supplies will be raised in the valley to subsist the inhabitants, they have but little money, and most of that utterly worthless, and thus, in the event of goods and food being transported into their midst for sale, they si will not have the means to procure either Such, in brief, is the state of things they exist in the once happy valley of the Shenandonh.

We thik do; and we assert that the condition de these poor women and children calls more loudly now than ever for relief from every human heart that is stirred by the Divine spirit which has rendered the deed of the good Samaritan immortal INTO TiE To (From the Every body that goes comes from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet, in the latest Northern fashion of gentlemen's wear.

Fsebion is a hard taskmaster, and exacta many things of its devotees; but don't wonder at the ready yielding of the Southern people to its mandates.

The cell in which he was confined is located in the basement, and a window, secured by iron bars, opens on Cary street, coming in even with the One of these bars next to the window-jamb was a wooden bar, and this Turner wrenched away, and watching his opportunity, favored by the rain and darkness of the night, succeeded in dragging his body through the aperture.

The officials in charge of the prison have no knowledge of the route Turner has taken, but it is thought he has taken himself out of the city, and his knowledge of all the avenues will facilitate his escape. CHEAP BARAD. (From the Richmond Whig, May 13.) The most and at the same time the most satisfactory, relief that has been afforded the poor of Richmond, is the cheap bread which is now being distributed by the military authorities. Thousands upon thousands of loaves have been given out at six and a quarter cents, which is the simple cost of the flour and baking added. Actual suffering, in hundreds of instances, has been mitigated, and a living support afforded famflies who did not know, from day to day, where their next repast would come from.

This generous action of the authorities has done more toward softening asperities and engendering a good feeling toward the Government, than could have been accomplished in the same time by ten thousand bayonets. Georgia Affairs. We have received a copy of the Atlanta Intelligencer, dated the 6th and containing some information of value from Northera Georgia. The Intellintacer is still conducted by the same proprietors who controlled the paper before the late occupation of the city by our forces. Colonel B.

In this they partially succeeded. The door forced open, and while one of the gang was standing in front of it, Mr. Sanders, who was lying in bed, seized his and fired through the aperture. The gun, shot was well directed, and the man fell dead upon the ground. At this juncture of affairs, the comrades of the victim became alarmed, and sought safety in fight.

However, a squad of Federal cavalrymen, who were attracted to the vicinity by the report of firearms, gave pursuit, and succeeded in overtaking and arresting two of -the desperadoes. The dead man was pioked up, and, on washing the black from his face, he was, recognized as Lovelace Brashear, young man well known in the The pistol, bat, and cont in his possession, were identifed, which will lead to the arrest of other parties.

S. was not injured, and was able to punish, at least, one of his assailants. It is thought that the attaok was made for the purpose of robbing Mr. Sanders of a sum of money. It is hosed that all of the scoundrels connected with the affair may be arrested and brought to punishment.

In October last, two men went to the house of Alexander Hunter, who lives on the Beechfork, in Nelson County, about nine miles above Bardstown, and told him that he bad sold two negroes -88 subatitutes for 500, and that he must pay the money over to them. Hunter only had $655, which they got. They told him he must get the remainder in a few days, as they intended returning for it. Mr. Hunter heard nothing more from them until the night of the 28th of April, when they returned and reminded him of their visit last fall, and wished to know if he had the remainder of the money.

He told them he did not. They then robbed. him and two of his neighbors, who were there on a visit, of a few dollars and a pistol, and told Mr. Hunter he must have the remainder of the $1,500 ready within two weeks, 89 they intended returning in that time. Mr.

Hunter then prepared to receive them, and the family, consisting of himself, nephew, son, and a young man about sixteen years of age, named Horace Ford, kept watch every night. On Saturday night, the 10th about 11 o'clock, they returned, and finding the door fastened, demanded that it should be opened. No reply was made by the family One of the men on the outside then told the other to break the door, that they had no time to be fooling there. Thay then forced the door, and both immediately entered. Just as they did so, Ford fired both barrels of double-barrel.

shot-gun, loaded with buck-shot, both chafges taking effect in the aide of one of the men. The both then ran into the garden, where the wounded man fell, and on being approached by young Hunter and Ford, he attempted to shoot them with a navy pistol, when Hunter shot him in the head, and he immediately expired. The other made his escape on foot The horses they rode were left standing at the fence. Next morning it was discovered that the horses had been stolen from a neighbor liv. ing about four miles from Hunter's.

On the man was found the pistol stolen from dead Hunter, on the night of the 28th of April. No person has been able to recognize the dead man. He did not belong to any of the son County. He was dressed in now Nal. jeans -pants, black cassimore coat black figured cotton relret, white and collax, and silk neck-tie.

It is supposed he was thirty or thirty years of age, five feet eight or ten inches high, dark hair about foot long, thin black whiskers, and would weigh about one hundred and fifty pounds. It is supposed, from the fact of their being on foot when they stole the horses, that they had got off the Lebanon train at some station, and intended walking to Hunter's, 8 distance of eight miles. On the stock of one of his pistols was the name of W. H. Miles.

On his penknife was the name of Smith, and on an old-fashioned silver watch was the name of P. T. J. Pruett. They robbed M.

R. Yewell, a neighbor of Hunter 8, on the night of the 28th of April, and attempted to break into the house of Wesley Flood the same night, but were prevented by Flood, who threatened to shoot if they did. (From the New York World.) Canadian Rebels and Filibusters, ACTOR HOUSE, NEW YORK, May 15, To the Editor of the New York World: I notice a statement that W. Lyon Mackenzie, the Canadian rebel, filibuster, or "patriot" last is the name by which he known in the United States when he lived here "died in the State of New York, and that until the day of his death, he was an. unswerving hater and opponent of the British Government." This is an error.

After the rebellion he was pardoned, and for many years was a member of the Canadisn Parliament, maintaing and evincing the ordinary feelings of a British subject I knew him well here, and in the provindes, during his and afterwards when be was in Parliament; visited the old gentleman and his aged wife in their very fragal lodgings in Toronto, and conversed with him for hours in the balls of the Parliament House and elsewhere. He spoke of the rebellion in a 'half apologetic, balf justifying way, and had an almost morbid aniexty to prove that the total failure ef the protracted efforts made by himself and others to obtain adequate reforms in the mutual relations of Great Britain and Canada, was the only cause of the rebellion. As these reforms, and more than was previously asked, were obtained afterward, the causes of his disloyalty ceased. In come respects the lesson of those days is not without instruction and suggestiveness to us at present. Several of the leading rebels were executed, but all who survived, and desired to return to the provinces, in the end received permission to do so, even in those cases where the Government had offered rewards for their heads.

Cartier, who this month in England is warmly advocating the maintenance of Cenradian connection with the British Government, was a rebel, for whose apprehension, 1 believe, a large reward was once offered. He has since been for a long time Prime Minister of Canada, and was received as an honored guest at Windsor Castle. Sa wags the world. Our friends of to-day may be our enemies to-morrow; but it is no less true that the political antagonists of the present time may hereafter be the warmest adherents of their former opponents. The historical lesson is worthy of remembrance.

Another in the series of events connected with thes Canadian rebellion is yet more striking. The supporters of the Government, having majority in Parliament, voted pecuniary indemnity to the loyalists for their: loss Times changed; the Tory emasjority, which had been very insolent, became a minority. The reformers, smarting under a sense of past injuries and insults, inflicted, in their turn, upon their oppomints the bitterest insult they could suggest. The reformers passed a bill indemnifying the rebels for their losses in turn. They had not justified the rebellion, but thought the rebels of this class were not much woree than the Tories.

History repeats never itself, literally; but the same principles continnally revolve and are evolved. We and the South shall yet stand shoulder and shoulder together, and the memory of magnanimity and gratitude will be more grateful and profitable than those of revenge, despair, and the "damned spots" which once made, we can never wash from our hands. With these remarks, I make my bow. Yours, in COUNTERFEIT POSTAL The amount of counterfeit postal currency of different denominations in constant circulation is immense.

A firmer says if "little childrenare of the Kingdom of Heaven," his house is fall of geod representatives, for he has twelve minors in his family, The Fall of Richmond and English Commerce. the Londen It is undeniable that the fall of Bichmond, such as we have ascertained it to be, would have been of disastrous consequences to serersi branches of English commerce if it had happened six months ago. When cotton and its substitutes were weekly held at extravagant prices, the sudden of 80 great catastrophe must have caused of itself many failures.

So many slow and steady agencies, all tending to produce fall of price, were then operating, that the addition of a single one of a striking nature might have produced lamentable results. A great panic in one class of articles would, in a sensitive state of the commecial werld, have produced a semi-panic in other articles. But now the case is different. Prices have greatly fallen. -In fact, as so often happens, the effect of the defeat of the South, has been discounted; the result of the expectation has be ent as grent, if not greater, than the result of the event.

There ie another of grent importance. The world is getting short of clotbes," and especially of good clothes. When the American war broke ent, we had some years stock on hand, and we lived 1 on that till other sources of supply were opened and made effectual. The existence of that supply insured us then; its nonexistence will insure us now. As we return to a usual and normal state of things, we shall tend to recur to our regular and habitdal accumulation.

We have not only now to clothe the world; we have to clothe it and something more. We have to make up our steek, to again create the guarantee fund, which shall insure us against any new calamities- against somo deprivation of supply as sudden and as unlikely as 80. American civil war would have seemed five years ago. At that time, any one who had prophesied the actual history of those five years, would haye been deemed a lunatic; our stored resources saved us then, and we must store them up again now, to use them in like manner. And this additional demand will gradually CATTy.

off an additional supply, especially if, as is likely, the clothes made with cheap material be better than the clothes made with dear material. There will be a capital demand for cotton and other. goods, if once it is understood that the end is attained, that the bottom is resched, that the trader nearest the consumer (a small shop-keeper.) had better supply himself at once. The small shops of the world are now only half supplied; iF they once take to supplying themselyes, the demand will be great. As far, therefore, as the producing power of America is concerned, we do not think its revival even if it should occur very rapidly, would derange our market, or affect us except beneficially.

Nor, as far as ite consum. ing power is concerned, we can not expect much from the cenclusion of the war. Some saguine persons fancy that we shall at once have a vast trade with the United States the moment they are reunited- -the moment the war stops. But there is no ground for 30 thinking, either as respects the South or the North. Some additional trade with both, of fect course, Lombard there will be, but not en ought to afstreet, -to alter.

the demand of the capital of England. First, as to the North, its tarif cripple to an incredible extent, all commero, with it. It has been spending largely and recklessly. It has been boszawing, margely and recklessly. It has been its ourreney.

The repentance after these errors will be a time of strait and dimonity; arid though under good Management, its splendid national resources care quite sufficient to cope with this diff4 culty, yet the difficulty is res. and considerable. The additional immediate trade which we shall have with the Nori will not be of the-first misgnitude- will not a the money market. Nor will the trade with the South. The South is disorganized, and must long be disorganized.

What the yer there are no date, and any Bay, only Stone guess conclusion is little better, perhaps, than others," without any solid ground of evidence. But 80 much is evident that great changes are in store for the South; that it must pass through a social revolution; that during the revolution it will not buy as it used to buy that after the revolution, tastes will have changed, and it will not buy what it used to buy. On the whole, therefore, the conclusion is, that though the catastrophe of the American war seems likely to happen more suddenly and more strikingly than could have been expected, yet its principal effect will have. been already anticipated, and it will have less influence on prices and transactions than many events of less considerable magnitude. More Evidence Concerning the Saltana Slaughter.

(From the Indianapolis We clip from the Mount Vernon (Indiana) Union, an important item of evidence as to who is responsible for the awful loss of life occasioned by the destruction of the steamer Sultana. We regret that we do not know the name of the inhuman Quartermaster who attempted to swindle the Government and actually sent fifteen hundred soldiers to untimely death, to gratify his sordid avarice. It would give us pleasure to pillory him before the world, in advance of the hanging be so richly merits, and which we trust will not long be delayed. The authorities have, in Sergeant Jolly, mentioned by the Union, the name of one witness who declares that the guilt of that great crime belongs to the Quertermaster at Vicksburg, who boasted in his presence of the scheme of speculation involved in crowding the decks of the Sultana with three times the number of soldiers she could safely carry. The following are the remarks of the Union: We copy, on our first page, an article from the Indianapolis Journal, relative to the steamer Sultana massacre, which is highly important, 88 indicating where the responsibility lies for that most terrible of all steamboat catastrophes.

All that Major Farris testifies is fully corroborated by Sergeant Jolly, of this place, another of the survivors, who, in addition, states that he heard the Transportation Quartermaster at Vicksburg boast that he was going to make big thing" out of the Sultana's loadbe getting $5 each for the soldiers shipped on her, and allowing the boat but $3 15 each, making net profit to himself of near $3,700. The captain of the Sultana protested against crowding his boat so outrageously and unnecessarily, but 788 arrogantly threatened by the Quartermaster with the seizure and impressment of his bost if he persisted in his expostulations. If that Quartermaster isn't hung, there was no justice in shooting Booth. While the latter was the murderer of but a single individual, great and beloved though he was, the former is no less the murderer of all who perished with the Sultana. THE SULTANA DISASTER.

Witzig, Supervising Inspector of Steamboats, returned, Sunday night, from Memphis, whither he went to investigate the causes of the Sultana disaster. Mr. Witsig proceeded to the sunken steamer and picked up a portion of the boiler, a specimen of which he brings home with him. His report, which has been the result of a thorough investigation of the facts connected with the disaster, be ready for publication in a day or two. We understand that it will be shown that the First Engineer is responsible for allowring the boiler to burn, and in permitting the steamer to leave Vicksburg with the boilers, in an unsafe condition.

His license has been ordered, by the Supervisory Inspector, to be revoked. The Captain of the ill-fated steamer, it is said, also violated the law in receiving on board over three hundred and seventy-six passengers, that being the number above which he was not authorized to carry. But if the Quartermaster, against the remonstrance of the Captain, ordered the latter to take an excess, of passengers aboard, the Quartermaster himself becomes responsible, on that socount, to the military authorities. For the solving of these questions, we await the publication of Mr. Witzig's report.

NEW YORK, May 18: The Herald's Washwhich has long been agitated, as to who is ington correspondent says that the question, responsible for the cruel treatment off our prisoners, confined in Libby, and other prisons in the South, may now be considered as definitely settled through no less a person than ex-rebel Senstor Foote.

It appear that Mr. Foote was a member of the committee in the Senate, to examine into the treatment of the prisoners, and the reports of their harsh usage and starvation. His story, as told by his own relatives, shows a deeper intention than bas been generally supposed, and fastens upon Jeff. Davis and his: Cabinet crime both startling. and appalling in its details.

Mr. Foote, it is said, states that the investigations showed conclusive evidence that it was decided in Cabinet meeting to reduce the rations served out to the prisoners that it should so weaken their constitutions, in connection with their confinement, that it would destroy them as soldiers, and make them, when exchanged, worthless. Senator Foote determined to report these facts to the Senate, but the balance of the committee overruled him and suppressed the facts. My informant further states that it was on this point that the quarrel between Davis and Foote broke out afresh, which resuited in the latter leaving Richmond, and seeking some sequestered spot," where such horrid deeds were not committed. Here, then, is the evidence conclusive of Jeff.

Davis and associates guilt in the disbolical deed of starving our prisoners, a deed which makes the most stoical person shudder to contemplate.

2. the New York Mr. Forney writes from Washington, via the Philadelphia Press, as follows: ad "What if, in this testimony, it appears that the assassination of the President and his Cabinet, and others. was plotted in the rebellion, paid for with rebel money, and known to the rebel chiefs? What, if the raids into Vermont, the hotel burning, the throwing of crowded trains the railronde, were arranged under the same influence and paid for out of the same funds What, if George N. Sanders, who swears he dees not know, or had never seen Booth, is proved to have been bis close companion And yet such facts as these are believed to have been established, and yet are immaterial compared to much more which came out with the doors of the commission closed.

Now, is Mr. Forney so green in the ways of the world, and in this world's history, so not to see and feel, that all secret testimony will be believed to be forged or forced testimony such as the Inquisition forced, under the Spanish Monarchs, or, the Star chamber in England. Even facts thne worked up in secret are never credited. The whole world, we speak not of the courtier's world, will hereafter speak and write of this as we write of the Spanish Inquisition and Star-chaniber Court.

if, Judge. Carter, in Washington, Lincoln Abolition man, a Radical man, would not be a better Judge of it, than a mere soldier, (and not a very good one, st that,) like General Hunter: or, Judge Olin, late from Troy, or Judge Whaley, from West Virginia, all Lincoln appointees? When the people see, ire do net mean courtier-people, but the people that make up public opinion and the world, see such man as General Hunter "in mere civil cases, superceding such men as Judges Carter, Olin and Whaley, they do net think well of it.
