NINE MEN CAPTURED,
Night before. last a large body'of-rebel cavalry,
under General Whitfield, made a dash.in upon the
Liberty road, and, after a one-sided skirmish with
omyedettes, the enemy succeeded in capturing the
whole party, numbering nine men; two of whom
werewoimded. Since then the lines of picket have
been'contracted and strengthened, and several com
panies are detailed for duty, upon all the pikes,
daily, . .’ ; .
. THE: SUFFERING INCREASES
among, the rsbel 'population, who are most-terribly
pushed to get food and fuel, v First, those who were
in heed of firewood cut down the branches of their
fruifeand ornamental trees* but this week they awing
the? axe at the trunks of their trees, and, in some
cases, use their shrubbery foT kindling wood. As
for is all gone, and the most earnest solicita
tions are made to General Granger, who coollyin
forms all who are disloyal that rebels are entitled
to, and wili/ receive, no consideration from him.”
Ho has a happy way or giving them this bit of in
foriSatioh-without making ‘them mad. From what
Ihave se'en ofinany of our generals, Granger is the
least disposed! to argue with rebels, and is the least
The pretty widows'with charming
ways, girls with pretty eyes, and the wily
old rebels ot-both sexes, have not the slightest influ

rate commander at Nashville. •
; A JUST BANISHMENT.
I hear-it,whispered at headquarters this morning
that General Granger will shortly send, out of the
li&es all those who have aided and abetted treason
in Franklin and its neighborhood. The.people have
got an inkling that’ something of that sort is about
to transpire, and many old rascals are endeavoring

-From accounts received from the counties between

destitution in that part of the State. One informant

' between Crab Orchard and Cumberland Gap. Five
families from Rock Castle, county passed through
here* on -Friday on'their way-to more northern
.points. Some were going to Missouri.

vßrigadier.Gen. Carter reached here on Saturday.
He'has now the ; command of a division, to which
the brigade of General I. H. S. Christ, of Pennsyl-
a r ania, is temporarily attached. He is ageneralfa
voiife- among both troops and citizens. Wherever
you go:in this. country you will find men expressing
confidence in the Christian general, who, in a quiet
■way. from the first, has been performing his duty to
his country. - I was at his headquarters on Sabbath
morning,, when a citizen came to present a claim for
something-taken- from him by our. troops,. .He at
once tdld him that it.was the Sabbath, and that.on
that-day he would, only attend to that ’which waß
leally'nccessary ; that’ he had better defer his busi
ness till the following.day. How few we havelead
ing' our/orces who are thus careful to conform to
of Him- who holds .the fate of all
armies in his hand. I say this no more to do justice
to the mamthah. for the encouragement of those at
home, who have been pained at the wickedness that
has shown itself in high places.
PAYING OFF THE TROOPS.
The# paymaster has been here. The 27th New
Jersey was paid yesterday :to .the 28th of February.
I understand they sent $20,000 home..
REBEL -LEADERS BANKRUPT.
' ■ There is a feature connected with the Secessionists
»ot this part of the State, which is worthy of remark.
. Nearly all the leaders, that, are now in the army
j from* this- locality, are men who were bankrupt—
I men who were in debt, and who saw, no other way
Lolgetting clear of embarrassment; who had nothing

to'break down, the Government." Many of them,
after having left, have' had’ their' business closed by

“ THE CHARLESTON, HARBOR FIG HT.
CFrom the,Charleston Courier, April 9.] ;
THE KEOKUK SUNK.
An official despatch from Colonel G-raham, com
manding on Morris Island, received in this cii'T on
Wednesday morning, at-,General Ripley’s h;
quarters, states that an iron-clad Monitor, aiippo. ,e d
to be the Keokuk, had sunk at nine, o’clock on t.
beach inside the bar, off Morris Island. Thdgratify T
ing intelligence was shortly. after confirmed by a
despatch from Fort Sumpter, and the arrival of
several, officers, and others, who saw. the Keokuk .
going down until she disappeared, with nothing but ;
her chimneys appearing above water. The Keokuk !
was one of the most powerful of her cl&bb, and her
lobb will be a staggering blow to the enemy. She
was built last spring and summer,-in accordance
with plans furnished by Mr. Whitney, an ironiner
chantofiNew York, and was said to be. impervious
to the largest shot or shell capable of being-thrown
from the :most formidable fortification. Her arma
ment consisted of two fifteen-inch Dahlgreiis, one in
each turret. Thus ends one of the boflated .invul-,
nerable fleet, which it has long been trumpeted forth'
could not be sunk, but would demolish and wipe out
everything that opposed their progress.
The result so far has elated our people, and given
the highest satisfaction to our military commanders.
Whether it will prove as equally satisfactorily to
the enemy remains to be seen. It is known that
several others of the fleet, said to have been, ten in
number, thatmadethe attacks were severely injured.
We learn from good authority that the distance of
the Monitors from Fort Sumpter during the engage
ment was not over eight hundred yards. : The steam
er Passaic was the leader, and not the Keokuk, as
first reported. The latter is said to have been the
last to come into line, and the laßt going out. Seven
of the Monitors and the Ironsides .were reported at
headquarters as still inside the bar on Wednesday
morning. A later report in the afternoon stated
that these vessels had gone'outside, and eight tur
reted Monitors were steaming Bouth, apparently
bound to Port Royal.
In the evening , however, . the seven lurreled monsters
reappeared, and it is believed they had merely gone
round-Stono to avoid the heavy blow that prevailed
at the bar during', the afternoon. The nondescript,
or “Yankee devil,” for clearing the channel, was
washed ashore on Morris’ Island yesterday, and is
now in our possession. It is described as an old
scow-Hke vessel, painted red* with a long, protruding
beak, andjutting iron prongs or claws, intended for
the removal or torpedoes... It was at
tached to the Passaic, the leading vessel, and man
aged by her during the engagement. It is also re
ported that two of the small boats belonging to the
Keokuk have been secured by our men, oh Morris
Island. ...
It is a curious coincidence of war that the com
manders—Generals Beauregard, Ripley, Col. Rkett,
Lieut. Col. Yates—and. nearly all the garrisdn .ot'
Fort Sumpter, are the same men who were the chief
actors in the, bloodless reduction of Fort Sumpter in
1861 j and who have so gloriously and' successfully
repelled a formidable attack upon this famous
fortress, while in their keeping. -
V No additional news was received from the Stono.
The number of vessels reported inßide was about
thirty.
HOW THE WHIGS OF VIRGINIA VOTE.
The Richmond Examiner of the 10th, in an article
relating to the coming election in Virginia, says:
It would be an accusation too general and too
harsh to say that the Whigs of Virginia, as a body,
have .determined, under loud professions of “no
party” feelings and purposes, to east a strict party
vote in 'the approaching election. But it is noto
rious, in many counties of the State, that they have
thus voted nr recent local elections for municipal
officers, and that they are now employing the ma
chinery, of party with reference to voting in May. ;
Thiß action might be excused to narrowness of
mind, ignorance of public - exigencies, and confirmed
habits of intolerance and antagonism, if they con
fined their machinations to securing only a.com
bined vote of their own old party associates. But
their action assumes , a villainous character when
they/ endeavorto seduce Democrats to- their support by
appeahingtothe old .Union sentiment which so strongly
actuated the Democratic masses in other days.
By attempting to prejudice them against the De
mocratic men aB the authors of our present war, and
by insinuations busily whispered into ignorant ears
that the Whig party could-have prevented the disso
lution, and is now the only party capable of restoring
the ancient condition of things, alarge portion ofthe
Whigs ofVirginia will hear of the policy of Borne of
their associates with horror and indignation. But
as surely as the sun shines in the heavens, these dark
pictures and damnable machinations are Dusily prac
ticed in the name and on the behalf of-the Whig
party'in holes and corners'of Virginia. ■ ,
; .The practices thus alluded to are of a character so
infamous that it would not comport with public in
terests to expose them. The time will come, how
ever, when they will be brought to light, and it be
hooves the Whig party, as a party, if it chooses ta
persist in maintaining its organization through all
public vicissitudes, to look well-to the action of its
seeretly-working agents and minions in this matter.
If it neglects this timely supervision, it may find
itself jfome day covered with, stains of infamy and
loads of odium which will forever.exclude its mem
bers from public favor and popular support.
These remarks are made in . no unfriendly spirit
to a single Whig candidate in the field for election,
and without a particleof hostility to the party itself,
or to a single individual known to be a member of it.
They are made in a spirit of friendly warning, and to
prevent, as far as temperate expostulations can do,
the enactment in Virginia of a great public scandal;
and we accompany these remarks with the declara
tion that the Democrats.of Virginia intend, in'good
faith, in the approachihg.eieetion, to cast their votes
for men believed to be of the most ability, and most
suitable for public exigencies, with entire disregard
to their past political associations.
DEPARTMENT OF KANSAS.
General Blunt and His New Army Heady
for an Active Campaign—Prospects of an
Marly Movement into Arkansas, &c. . .
; ’Fort Scott, Kansas, April 4.
READY TO MOVE AGAIN.
We begin to see and hear the bustle of prepara
tions for another campaign by General Blunt. The
promotion of that gallant officer carries with it, it is
believed, a field ofoperations large enough for his
energies. The First, of Kansas division of the old
Army of the Frontier, has already commenced its
movements, preparatory to again taking the field.
That division consisted of three brigades: The First,
under Colonel Weir- (subsequently division com
mander,) of the 10th, and consisted of the 9th
(cavalry,) ,10th and 11th Kansas, and 9th (in
fantry).WiEconßin, The Second Brigade consisted
of the 2d (cavalry) and 13th (infantry) Kansas,
3d (cavalry) and 9th (infantry) Wisconsin, and was
commanded by Col. Cloud, of the 2d Kansas. The
Third Brigade consisted of the three Indian regi
ments and the 6th Kansas (cavalry). This was com
manded by Col. Judson, ofthe 6th, and is now under
Col. Phillips, of the 3d Indian, wao is in command
of the Eighth and Ninth Military districts. Besides.
this force, there was an adequate supply of artillery..
Gen. Blunt believes in the latter arm. *
MORE TROOPS COMING.
* The 10th and 11th Kansas Infantry arrived here
on Monday last from Springfield. A battalion of
the 6th, under Colonel Judson, also entered town.
The balance of this efficient regiment is with Colonel
excepting two companies, under Major
Ransom, which have-been stationed on the border
of Jackson" county, Mo., and are'now engaged in
the laudable duty of exterminating bushwhackers,
in .that section.
: The 2d and 13th regiments remain at Springfield
under Colonel Cloud, who has not yet been relieved
from the command of the Southwest. Missouri dia
trict. The 9th Wisconsin Infantry and the Wiscon-
Bin Cavalry (six companies) are at Forsyth, Mo.,
with Colonel Weir. .The 3d-has orders to reunite at
thiß post, where two companies have been stationed
for some time past. The 9th and. 12th Kansas are on
service in the State, and will probably so remain.
Within the present month quite a respeotable army
will be assembled in this neighborhood. The 2d and
3d'Colorado Regiments are; it is reported, on their
way in to join General Blunt.
A COUNCIL OF CHIEFTAINS.
Of course, all speculations' &b to the plans of the
coming campaign are futile, and would* be out of
place here. One fact may be of value. It appears
that all the lately-promoted Kansas generals were to
meet General Curtis and Senator Lane at St. Louis
this week. Brigadier Generals Lee and Deitzler
both have regiments where they might*.be.made
available in a movement across Southeastern Ar
kansas to Northern Louisiana And Northeast Texas.
The‘lst and 7th Hegiments, lately commanded 1 by
those gallant officers; have been, for : somc.time past,
anxious to joinithe Kansas division. General JEw
ing, lately colonel of the 11 th,;will also be present
at this interview. He left thus post on Monday for
St. Louis, via Leavenworth.
THREE REGIMENTS OF LOYAL MEN FROM
ARKANSAS.
Wehave no important news from Col. Phillips.
The enlistment of Union men still continues at Fay
etteville. Colonel Harrison, commanding the First
Arkansas, hAs already raised the Second, and com
menced on the Third. A great many of the men are
conscripts from Hindman’s army. Up to laßt advices
ho.further increase ofrebel troops is known, nor is
the condition of those still in that section improving,
except as the opening of spring will benefit them.
Great hopes are entertained by Missouri rebels of
Price’s movements, but I venture the assertion, that
all who desire to commence bushwhacking with the
growth of the leaves in Missouri. under the expecta
tions that their famous General will be with them
soon, will find themselves much deceived thereby.
Gen. Price certainly will hot get north of the Oz'arks,
if the Missouri troops do their duty.
RECENT EVENTS.
There is not much of interest occurring. A noto
rious guerilla waß lately; captured and brought a
prisoner to this post. His namei9 Price. He is a
captain in Livingston’s gang the only organized
rebel force in the extreme southwest of Missouri.
Though but a boy in years; being barely twenty
years of age. Price is well known as one of the cool
est and most daring of bushwhackers. He is also
known as ciuel and pitiless in the extreme. Two
nights ago he made a desperate attempt to get out of
the guard-houße, and succeeded in ..making a hole
large enough-for egress before the sentinel discovered
him. He is now heavily ironed.
Quite a number of cases of highway robbery have
occurred lately in the counties between this post
and the Kansas river. It is.evident, that a great
many bußhwackers and their, sympathizers, driven
out of Western Missouri, by the vigorous measures
of Gen. Loan and Col.'Pehick I ,‘have taken refuge in
the border counties of our State. I heard latterlv,
fhrougha Union refugee, of not less than twenty
five from Jackson.county, Mo., .residing in,
one locality in Leavenworth county, in this State.
It is this class who are infesting our roads and
towns. We need a "vigorous administration of the
civil authority, and a hearty co-operation of the
military. .With these influences, this evil might
soon and summarily be suppressed.—hr. Y. Times.
. POWER OF THE PRESS.—Mr. Kinglake, the
historian of the Crimean war, an observant states
man and member of Parliament, gives it as his con
viction that the Times newspaper alone caused that
'war; if so, it has made bankrupt one empire, caused
the death of the greatest emperor of the age, estab-.
lished another on hiß throne, broken the power
of the nobleß in Russia, freed the serfs, rendered
thousands of women husbandleßß and childless,
killed more than one general, made or ruined the

families mourners. It had first.fed public ©pinion,

THREE GENTS.
Admiral Dupont .and_ the Baltimore
American.
“The little dogs and all, .
Tray, Blanche, and Sweetheart, see they bark at me. ”
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir: Only a week ago we were all absorbed in
contemplation and admiration of the acta of despe
rate daring performed by the Paladina of 6ur navy
in Charleston harbor—daring never excelled, and
rarely matched—daring which a Nelson, or our own
Stewart, could well appreciate* a quiet, steady cou
rage, top, which could lay the little monitors di
rectly within the range of a concentric 'fewd'enfor,*
Buch as the world has never before heard of, andstay
within that range for more than two hours, the
heavy balls from the rebel batteries striking-our ves
sels “as fast as the ticking of a watch,” (according
to the reports of some of their commanders), al
though they had but sixteen guns to oppose three hun
dred, for the Ironsides’ battery was scarcely brought
into action.
.."We were proud of our gallant captains—the
names of Rodgers, (John and George) Drayton,
Worden, Rhind, Ammen, Fairfax, and Downes,
were becoming “household words and, wherever
they were named, the name of. Dupont was joined
with theirs, as “ the worthy chieftain of a gallant
band.”
And now comes along the editor of the Baltimore
who
“Never set a squadron in the field,
Nor the division of a battle knows
More than a spinster,*'
and who knows still less about naval combats, and
he, having viewed the smoke of the fight.from a safe
distance, tells us that we have been all wrong—that
Dupont failed to : take Charleston simply /from
timidity, and that his subordinate captains (the
heroes aforesaid) were as bad aB their chief.
This Baltimore editor knowß all about it j he
fe ‘tobws bow it could have been done, (though he
didn't tell us,) and why it was not principally, he
7 B, because of Dupont's timidity and the stupidity
of a*l the captains concerned, who, it seems, were
quite satisfied with the hazardous nature of the
rjrcat e xperiment they were shout to try, without add
ing to its risk by adopting all [sorts of inventions,
(torpedoes> &c,,) which were isberallyrecoznssended
to them.
And in t2e face of what we s^ 1 know of thfffight
(having had* abundance of facts- submitted to us by
eye-witnessed) and in the face oTour long acquaint
ance with Dupont’s courage anu ! capacity, and the
unsurpassable courage-sad' capacity of the gallant
Worden, Rodgers,- Rhind) and the rest*
people are to be found- reading and* believing tho- 1
rubbish of this Baltimore correspondent j andeven* 1
/the Bulletin of this-evening, while defining to copy
the slanderous article, does. not hesitate-to adopt
the spirit of its attack upon our gallant* townsman,
asDupont may, almost properly, be oalled;
Shame on all who would attempt to taise-a single
leaf from the chaplet of honor due our naval heroes.-
True, they did not take Charleston, but they did
all that brave men could do;;and if-they ffeiied in
their first attack upon that nest of treason,.they are
willing to try again, and, .with the experience they ;
now have, they may succeed nexfrtimc:

Sir ; I beg leave to call your attention to my circular;,
a copy of which I oresume you. have received,, ex
pressive of my views as to the duty of loyal men at this
critical period in the history of our country.
I cannot conceive of but two classes of menwho will
hesitate in giving iheir support to any judicious mea
sures calculated to strengthen the hands of the Govern
ment, viz: Cowards and Copperheads, neither of which
are. entitled to the honors or emoluments of' office. It is
tiue that non-resistant or peace men (a class whom*l
greatly respect, when consistent), being opposed to
war, cannot be expected to give their countenance to
measures contemplating force to sustain the Govern
ment. •
But these men are never found in offices.
I shall be pleased to receive your answer to the circu
lar allnded.to before the loth inst.v
Tours, respectfully, "WM. B. THOMAS;
Mr. Thomas is determined that none but the true
a*hd brave shall reap any benefits from , the Govern
ment, as far aB he is concerned. The man who is
able, and r holds a Government position, is worse
than a coward when he refuses his aid at a moment
when most need_ed. It may be that the services of
this regimeift'will never be required, yet Colonel
Thomas is - anxious, that they should be ready in
case of emergency.'■’He has labored hard for weeks
to place this organization on a war footing, to/ be
ready at a moment’s warning. We have no doubt
but that his efforts will be crowned with success.
The value of an organized militia cannot be over
estimated; In times of peace, as in times of war, it
foima a security and a • protection, r.The military
property of the State could be collected together and'
used whenever necessary. Under the management of
regularly appointed or elected officials, such asystem.
would be of great benefit. Gen.Pleasonton is of the
opinion that the troops of the militia should be re
quired, under proper penalties, to perform so much-,
military duty in each year, including the duties of
encampments, as will afford opportunities toofficers
and inen to become familiar with their respective
duties, for which service they should receive com
pensation, from a fund to be collected, and expended
in each county, as its military fund. A personal tax.
of fifty cents, levied and collected from every male
inhabitant entitled to the right of suffrage in every
year, would furnish an adequate fund for all military
purposes, from which arms, ordnance; munitions of
war, ordnance stores, and such other, military pro
perty, as may be required] from time to.time, may
be supplied.
Such an organization would be popular with the
returning volunteers, after the expiration of their
Bervice'with the United States, as the rules and re
gulations governing it would be the same as those
under.which they had rendered their service with
the army. ...... .
It Bhould be deemed an honor to serve in the mili
tia. A well-regulated system of substitutes, and of
commutation in money in lieu of personal service,
would-render the militia organization 7 as effective'
for military purposes, in a popular Government, aa
an armyheed ever be. We have no complete militia
regiment in this.city; therefore, the great necessity
of immediately filling to its maxinuta number the
one under the command of Colonel Thomas.
Tj nion League at Holmesburg. —A
Union League was inaugurated on Thursday eve
ning, at Holmesburg, Twenty-third ward, in the pre
sence of a vast concourse of persons. Ameeting
was organized at the Athemeum by the election of
George J. Huff, Esq., as president. Patriotic ad
dresses were delivered by Meßsrß; S. Snyder Leidy,
Esq., William Moran, John Burton, and Robert
Bethel. The meeting was in. nil respects a com
plete succeßs, and did honor to the Union men of
Holmesburg. The following, resolutions were
unanimouslyadopted:
Resolved, That it is the duty of every citizen'to
unite in all proper efforts to preserve and perpetu
ate the Union -in accordance with the Constitution.
Resolved, That we .are fully sensible, of .the fact
that the time has arrived when it becomes the im
perative duty of every Vover of "his country.to show
his colors, it being a self-evident fact that those who
are not in favor of sustaining the Government must
be classed with’those who are, endeavoring to de
stroy it., 4 '
Resolved , There can be-but two parties to the
pending- contest, for the present war, which has
.been forced upon us by the South, is" virtually the
death-struggle between slavery and freedom. .
Resolved, .That every citizen owes allegiance to the
Government, and he who;denies its authority, or
• fails in his duty to uphold the honor of its flag, is an
abettor of treason, and should suffer the penalty due
to his crimes. • V
Resolved, That in the atrocious war now waged
against the National Government, by whioh it is im
perilled, it is the plain duty of the American citizen
to,sustain it,with all.; his heart and might, not only
.for its own. sake, but in return for the .protection
which’ it ‘ extends to : his property, his labor, his
liberty) and life; and ail those who seek to hinder,
delay, or embarrass its movements against the ene
my, while they claim and 'enjoy the protection of its
laws, stand self committed,before the world, of trea
son ‘to their country, to' liberty, and mankind, and
should be made to feel,.ip.their intercourse with their
fellow-citizens, that neither treason nor traitors can
be tolerated by honorable men.
That in themomentous struggle in which
the nation is now engagedwe have a common and
undivided interest with, our patriotic armies in the
field, and value the proud title of American
citizens, in maintaining the honor of its flag and the
sUnity of its Government, and ,we greet all such citi
zens, of every tongue, kindred, .and
1 hroughout the land, as our ■friends aud brethren in
a righteous-cause; and-we earnestly invoke the
stern rebuke of every treasonable suggestion -to
abandon the and their active aid in pro
claiming to foreign Powers and domestic foes the
irrevocable will of the American people that the
Union njust and shall be preserved.V .
Bedford, Baker, and Stafford Sts'
—The’rnißery and wretchedness existing amongsome
of the denizens of these localities is almost beyond
conception. Bum of course is the cause of,this shock
ing' state of affhire, nearly every house and cellar be
ing* depot for its sale, from.one cent upwards. The
Bedford-street Home Mission has done much to
wards alleviating the sufferings, and restoring from
ruin theee 7 poor wretches.. Their missionary, J\lr. J.
H. Beckwith, is constantly'engaged in wandering :
around among this : unfortunate claBS of people.
He relates the case of a woman who was wander
ing through this region respectably dressed, and who
.was decoyed under the influence of the first glass,
into a cellar in Bedford street, where she was
stripped of every rag she had, and sent to the Mis
sion House with nothing but an old carpet wrapped
around her, to. get some clothing to go baokto her
service place. Owing to the high prioeof dry goods,
and the ladies wearing their old dresses, as a matter
of economy, the mission had not even a skirt for her,
but were in debt four dresses to women they had;
promised clothing to come to ohurch in. While one
of the ladies was searching her -port monnaie to find
money enough to buy her* ope, a woman who was
once a drunkard at the rate of, nine pints and a half
of rum per week, but for a long time now one of
their consistent church members, and who has saved
five dollars of her last months wages, 'overcome
with sympathy for the poor creature, stepped aside, :
took off her top dress, as she had on.two, putit on
her unfortunate and would not receive a
cent for-it in return. 'Another.: case is that of a
man, who, a few days -since, staggered into
the Mission House, with not a stitch on him like a
coat or shirt; his breast open, arras and all tbe up
per part of the body exposed, a bleeding face ireßh
from a fight, and the end of one finger nearly chewed
oif by his antagonist, yet that man was once a mi
nister of the Gospel, and when sixteen years,, old
wasl>laearded as the great, juvenile preacher, and
preached to five thousand persons. He proved his
talent by making out a skeleton on the text 41 let us
cot therefore sleep au do ; others, but swatch and be
sober,” which he done well = for s a mind stupefied
with liquor. - He said he once had three times a day
for private devotion, afterward two,'then one, and
finally none, so he fell. The. managers of the mis
sion got him to wash, dressed his wounds, clothed
him as best they coulu; they talked to him, prayed
with him, and made a more earnest preacher of the
faith than ever, and sent.hlm up town to his former
place. In order to meet the temporary wants of
Buch person b as these,'the mission are. greatly in
need of clothing, Ac., which enn be sent to the mia-

to those in Our front;! That We regard the right" of
free press and free speech the sacred right of all
men, so long as they do not’ abuse it by treasonable
language against' the Government ;• and that we
deny the possibility; of an unconstitutional act in

to traitors, either in our front or rear, is the right
to die. °

Another Contention by the Butch
ers.—From a circular issued by the butchers of t=M*
city, we learn that they-have been solicited to take
the necessary-steps to inaugurate a fall convention
oSthe butchers of the loyal Union, for the purpose
of adopting a uniform' system for all the cities in
purchasing live stock and to establish organization*
for all the cities; to eradicate and forever abolish
the great and growing imposition the butchers now*
suffer under—the speculation in live stoek—and to 1
take such measures as will bring the’business of
selling and purchasing of fat stock where it legiti
mately belongs—between the butcher who prepare*
it for the consumer, and the grazier and FeederWho
preparee-it for the butcher-rand to discard the'army
of: speculators who aow infest every city in- the
Union, and who have injured the business to such-an
extent that' it will scarcely afford bare sustenance
to those engaged in it.Y The- number of delegates to
he sent by each city will hot be less than two.
