What means another (layer ominous silence I Clan it be possible that `the vast Army of the Potomas is to undergo an imprisonment of weeks behind their entrenchments hr IF. It probable that the lull be fore the storm warns the traveller that breaking clouds are in the distance l , This is the fifth day of — silence, and yet men are dallyitilled and wounded .from the bullets of the enemy's, sharpsho%ters. When we speak of anew° in the army, it is meant a general state of quiet, and hot a particular, for the batteries of the two contest. ants are over belching forth their hurricane of death: Gen. Grant Was at Meade's headquarters yester day, and, In company with Generale Burnsideund Meade, rode down toward City Point, undoubtedly with some good intention, that will make itself known in due time. The headquarters of General Grant aro at City Point, but he, is seen every day riding about with his staff. He visits the lines of the.arrny continually, and his presence is always balled with delight by our soldiers .who love him' with intensity. Speaking of :GenAta - sit, relabels me of a circumstance eminently worth'relatingi A few days since the General was walking around: the docks at City Point, when he stopPed to see some Degrees roll a barrel of bacon on board of a boat. The negroes were unable to move it, when ti; crusty lieutenant, who stood-near, dressed in his. fine blue clothes, shouted,- "Yon d—n Diggers,: Push birder or go get another man to help- you I". Withoutsaying a word, Gin. Grant -pulled up his sleeves and helped the negroesroll.the.barrelon,the boat; then he drew his Silk handkerchief from -his' poeket and wiped his bands, then moved quickly' away. YOu may Imagine how that second lieutenant felt when he was told that the stevedore was no less than the Commander ln-Chief of the United States armies. The General was dressed in coarse home spun, with his hat drawn over his eyes, and ono of the most unpretending-looking personages one could Imagine, . OODS. A spy was captured this morning prowling in our lines. lie was taken to the headquarters of the Gth oorps, where he will undoubtedly bo tried and dealt 'with according to the findings of the court martial. NENSTAPF.R connEsrOND/C:fTB The life °La newspaper 'correspondent lit.one of continual trouble and difficulty.

He was exceedingly anxionh to see 11Ir. —, of. and asked his general if he knew where he eould fuid that cor respondent. The General replied tilt he did not know, but that if he would "go down and fire the Blakely for an hour," he thought he would be here. The Colonel did as was suggested; and, true to the word of the General, the correspondent, with two others, came rushing up to 'those. headquarters, their horses foaming with perspiration.. • THE COXilil7lo7i OF THE INHABITANTS. - - - - - It really inakeg the heart sick to see the degrade thin in which the poor people live in this neighbor hotel' It can, in fact; be said that they de:not live, but only.stay. Those who live within a radius of eight miles draw all theirrations from the Quarter master's Department, at • headqUarters. Their means ef,,approach.!.o that place are indeed meagre arid pitiful ThiaAerning a case came under my oyes Of in, aged poor lady living. about Rix Miles is th'eidir of our cehtral line. She had par taken of nothing to eat for two days._ Her husband had been dead kir nrany.years, and her little yearly allowance of meal hail been stolen by. our soldiers. Sk y e said she got on her knees ancfbegged ono of our men nett:, set fire to her cabin, for where then could she go on the face of the earth. The .man-bad a lighted piece of wood in his hand, and, at the , piteous tears of the old matron, the brute consented to leave her home unburned, with the understanding that he . shEtild rifle the house, and according to the story, of. ' thoovonsan he did his work faithfully:, ••I inquired! , into the circumstances of the ease, and found.that,.. : they were straggiersirom some regiment thathad , goneithtough the day before. No pitiliatiment erbia be tool great :tor these wolves that bring - disgrace' upon.theiltiraiame of our cause. This old lady was in search of food, and t.she had walked all the way, with the prospect of no other means of getting to her home.. Instances have been known where our guards, who have been placed to pracet the proper ty of resident families, have turned vandals them selves, and plundered:thehouses of everything valua ble wantonly destroying that which thoy . could not take away. General Hancock < occupies the house of a wealthy. •planter, named Jones, and everything within, the ::residence is precisely the same as *when he left it. The piano, which i 3 a teautiful one, sitting in one corner of the parlor,has not, is , i - et, been - even played upon. The' owner of the property Is still within -our lines; but does not occupy:his house.: The only thing . that 'seems to.be a matter of complaint with-him is that the "Yankees have run off my thirty niggers." It tinife amusing, at litheiVta'heat •twe of these I..forrners meet together: • -The dteE 4 lineation after a general salutation is t liveriablY, " Well, have they . took your. nigietil."_-tho'iaply usually amounting stYea,4thofyueteXeleari dohe gone; I had right - . Smart of 'em for a while, but they soon yanked 'am „all.ViriliNVllatMe'Bessie gone; tool" "Yes, sir; shervierit de fruit brio." • It is remarkable to compare thaiiiiillitities 'between a negro% and a master's Ono can scarcely distinguish the dif- Iferiince.,.. The fact Is readily accounted for by under :.standing that the only companions of those poorer 'claili l ef 'planters are negroes—their own slaves. Shut up in little boxes called houses, with their ne groei living in still smaller log huts, both far' away from civilization, , ft might be tru ly said, it cannot be expected ,that their growth, mentally speaking, should be coequal with those resi ging in more favored localities. The negrons, In many places near Petersburg,"are superior to ,their mas ters, and those with whom I have conversed have a better idea of farms and farm lands. The general expectation among all planters in section is that the North will conquer the South, and. put the no groes In charge of plantations, while the masters take the places of their former, slaves in the field The idea is certainly a good one, especially since it has had its birth in the "knowledge boi" of a ge nuine Southron. The notorious Edinund Ruffin, Sr., who had tho disgrace to boast that he, fired the drat gun on Fort Sumpter, is a native of this county, and is noted as being ono of the most vile and..degenerato of men. Ile has several times been in tho jail of Prince George county ; and as a landlord, was ono of the most cruel and, exacting wretches that could well live. .Persons here who know him well say that he was 'frequently arrested for cruelly beating his wife, and on ono occasion he was taken prisoner to Peters burg for having flayed alive two of his negro women; who he had stripped naked and tied up.by the`thumbs, while he administered the blows with his own hand. Lot the world know, therefore, that the man who volunteered to lire the first gun upon the flag. of the United States was Ed win Ruffin, Sr., a jail-bird and wife-boater, born in Prince George county, Virginia. lie is a Bled man in the South at the present time, and honored among the 'traitors, who would spurn him for his former con duct were it not lightened by the fact that his "sins, which were as scarlet., have, become like wool," be cause he tired upon thp Bag of his country. 'Noble deed ! Oh, moat worthy man, we hail thee as a fit representative of the crimes which thou art so am bitious to establish ; but in all thy feasting,•beware of the handwriting on tho wall There is nothing further of any importance rela tive to our army. Everything quiet. Last night about dusk, artillery firing again be gan. This time it was perhaps more tierce than It has been for the pest ton days. It extended from General "Bally"Smith's extreme right to Burn side's left; It seldom reaches further, although Gen. Hancock has several times had his batteries en gaged. Still, It can be safely said, that the two Wills, the 9th and, Oth, and the intervening divLslon the Skin. No. 133 WAVERLY PLACE, NEW roux, 'Stay 23, MI CAPTURE OP A.

A DESERTER'S STOUT. " 4 ! ; Deserters continually come into our lines. Thy number - on an average hafeifundred and fitly per One of them brought the Petersburg Exp ress, which I was permitted to copy a few extracts. Tii story`of the deserter who carried the E'xpr‘s,:f is 40, teinly ono entitled tagreat credit, the substance Which X Will probes' d to'g Ir e. Ills name is Loucks; and, ho says he belongs to the 2d Regiment, Georgia bill pule.' The supplies of 'th'e rebel armies are . exhausted; owing to the lite (Wilson's) cavalry` raid; The eating of the Danville and Ilichminidf .Railroad has very materially damaged theft platis.t . They are afraid that we are preparihg another scribal of movements in that quarter, which Will 6rkttrolyi cut off their supplies. Since Wilson cut th'o road there has bean an order issued relative to the uses of either branch, both north or 'south of the inter-1 sected portion. All use of the road has been, liy,thisl `order; forbidden until further orders aro issued: .• meeting of the 'stockholders is called for, and an. advertisement to this effect I find in the Ex:petit It reads like this: 4 RICHMOND AND DAN - VILE RAILROAD CORTANV —STocuumnsnsi ilinsTruo.—A spools' meetinv of the stockholders of the Richmond and Danville. .•Rallroad Company will be held ln this city the fourth day 01 July, at :the usual place. m...t. ei; „.1 J.

A very frugal, ' reliance indeed. Since the cutting of tho the troops have generally been despondent, much more so than ever before. They have not the inert' to hold it, and the militia of North Carolina Is posed only of old men and young boys, so that' dependence can be placed upon them. Ewell Oen. • Illy be spared at this juncture, which he considers ; the crisis of the Confederacy's life. Tho prevailing in Petersburg, according to this deserter, Is that we can cut and hold tits road at any timi - we may see fit, and It is the acknowledgment . of 'this fact that so intensifies the grief of the rebels. If yr& see proper to throw our left there for the main tenance of ' authority on the road, it,will`be impossible for them to gain supplies. Tho Vir ginla Central is, of course, useless, and, 'in: deed, were it in proper condition, It would be of no use in the important question of food; for that section of Virginia has been drown upon time and again for a, development of Its resources, while for the past eighteen months it has been used by them selves as important points of strategy. In reply to the question put to him as to what ho thought their authorities would do, ho replied - that ho could not tell fitwas a mystery to him ; but at this moment they feared starvation more than they did our bul lets.

More :thou t the Ithrtal Combat—& Graphic Deficriptlon by an Officer of the Hear- An officer of the Konroarge, who was on board the vessel during her into combat with the Alabama, writes as follows to the 13oston Traveller: Our ship, the Koarserge, was laying at Flushing, Holland, when we received a telegram from Minis ter Dayton (Paris), stating that the Alabama had arrived at Cherbourg. We immediately put to sea with all haste, and came down here, taking the Ala bama quite by surprise by ,the suddenness of our appearance upon her track. Wo remained outside this port, bat communicated with the consular agent here, and through him we received a sort o(eital lenge from Semmes, who stated that if we remained elf the port he Would come out and tight us. Also, that he would not detain as long. We cruised off the port five days; until the 10th of Juno. when our perseverance in guarding the port was rewarded, and we saw the much-vaunted starry ensign floating on the breeze, as ,the Alabama came boldly Out under the escort of the French Iron-clad " La Couronne." . The latter retired Into port after seeing the combatants outside of French waters.' The Alabama' came down upon us at full speed until within a distance of about three-quarters of ..a. mile r when she opened her guns, upon ..us. We did not reply for several minutes, but ranged up nearer, and then opened our starboard battery, fighting six guns, and leaving, only ono 32-pounder 'ldle. The Alabama fought seven guns, working - them with the greatest rapidity, sending shot and shell In a con stant stream over our heads. Both. vessels used ,their `starboard 'batteries, the ships 'being ,maucou vred In a circle about each other at a- distance of from five hundred to one thousand yards. Our shot,' partMularly the DAIWA shells, made fearful havoc among the enemy. The first ono killed three med and wounded nearly the wholo gun's CUM where it exploded; Finally, we placed a shot In the redder-Part of the Alabama, disabling to some extent her steering apparatus. Almost' at the same time another of our shots entered her coal bunker, abreast of her engine, forcing the bunker inboard, and showering the machinery 'with coal, which prevented her irons making progress for a short time, when she set her sails to the breeze, and tried to run in toward the French shore. We were on the watch, and by a rapid movement headed Fier off, and got into lighting position on her port on weak side—a very successful and decisive manteuvre. On that ride she had but one gun, and we gave our broadside Into her with the greatest precision, doing fearful damage to her hull. We shot away her Ilag, but in a few minutes it 'it was run up again at her mizzen truck. A short time longer we kept up our cannonade, when she hauled describer nag, and we ceased tiring. In ittew minutes she gave us, vary unexpectedly, a couple Of shots more, and again we opened our batteries upon her. This, however, continued but a very short time, for she soon showed a white flag, token of surrender, and sent a,boat on board or us to ask assistance in saving. the wounded, as she was In a sinking condition. We immediately launched two boats, the other two having been riddled by shot, and sent for the wounded, but beibro the boats got alongside the omit, formidable Alabama settled by the stern, thrust her bow far out of water, and then disappeared beneath the waves, earryingdowa no one will ever know how many of the poor victims. Previouslyto this, after the firing had ceased, and it was evident that the Alabama was sinking, an English steam yacht, which had been observing the fight at a distance, came up alongside of us,•and asked permission to assist In picking up the wound ed. Of course it was granted, as an act of humanity, but by'so doing we were robbed of half the fruits of our hard-earned contest ; for the yacht moved up ahead of us, lowered her boat, picked up Semmes and several of his officers and crow, and then, stood away with all hasto for the English coast. Then we saw through the ruse that Semmes had no doubt planned beforehand for his escape in case of his de feat, but we could not follow anti leave the poor un fortunat es still in tho water, so we remained by them until all were picked up. Thereafter we steamed into this port, and came to anchor. We had picked np in our boats sixty-five of her crew and firemen, and five officers living and one dead. Of the men fifteen were seriously wounded, two dying on board of us. 'We had only three men eoverely wounded. As soon is we came into Cher bourg the wounded men wereall sent to tho hospi tal, as our accommodations on board were not so convenient for their.proper treatment. We paroled all the other prisoners except the officers, forme were unable to keep so many on board, or send them to the States. According to the account of the master of the British steam-yacht (Deerhound), she.lunded 40 at Southampton. Probably this is exaggerated ; but taking it as true, and adding those we picked up and nine width a French pilot boat rescued, there are about 120 accounted for, leaving over 80 who In evitably went down with her when she sunk. The °Dicers of the Alabama say they numbered on board about 160 all told, but they give no account of those who joined her after she arrived here at Cher. bourg. The number of these will never be known, but several of the most experienced gunners of the English naval reserve icent on board (he niotti before the action on purpose to point the guns. They were old, practiced seamen, who had seen service In the En fish navy, and were supposed to be able to sink the Kearsarge or disable her guns In half an hour. Semmes promised - them that before noon they should be on board of us. , During the action we fired 173 shots. Tbe A.labima certainly fired many more. At the first part of the action she fired two shots to our one, but such rat.. pidity of tiring web only accomplished at the ex „pens° of accuracy. Our shoti were fired with as tonishing precision, and wrought fearful havoc on the enemy. We were struck fourteen times in our hull, and an equal number of times in our rigging. Two shots struck our chain armor abreast of our boiler, but 'did not enter the ship. Another 100- pound rifled shell struck under the stern, anti glanc ing downOodged our rudder-post, where it still . remains, too firmly imbedded-to be removed. !..For • tunately, the shell did not explode. Had t, ia t,dane so,. it would hove carried away our rueddivalid 4 iv- • dered our ship nearly unmanageable. Although it was at the latter part of the action that ,tve received tha-taton..,..stiii, had it exoloded, tin fate of the • Hearsarge might have boon artilllar tbltiat'of the Alabama. Another shell struck our smoke-pipe, about eleven feet above the deck, and eiploded, tearing a hole three feet in diameter, and covering me and my ; ' men with a shower of fragments of iron, but none of us were much injured. The Kearsarge was not In the least degree endan gered by the missiles she received. We are in as good order as ever, and ready'for another term of service on the high seas. Our object in coming into Cherbourg was to land the wounded, and 'we have remained hero to patch up our smoke-pipe. Our commander, Captain Winslow; after the notion was over, and during the afternoon, had all hands mustered' on the quarterdeck, and there was offered solemn prayer and thanksgiving to God, who had given us so signal a victory. THE ALABAMA AND EFIARSARGE CTrom The Plare de La Manche, a Cherbourg paper.] Let us begin by counting the killed and wounded— we were going to say of our killed and our wounded, so general and deep is the emotion here. The (Jon. federate vessel had a crew of 122 men and 22 officers ; it was commanded by Mr. Semmes, SO years old, Every one has heard of this vessel, which has been cruising for the last two years, and of her captain, who formerly commanded the Sumpter. Some of our officers, both naval and military, have Wit nessed; the first during their eunpaign in Mex ico, the others , . during their stay in Algeria, the feats of flaring performed by Mr. Semmes. The thin skinned may say what they will ; we are the towns folk of Snreonf. The people of Cherbourg, who have seen Capt. Semmes, say that his martial coun tenance, with long mustaches, reminds them of Gen. Allard, that soldier exiled from France, Min ister and General of Runjeet Sing, who organised, and so Wig as ho lived preserved, the independence of the Punfaith. The commandant of the Kearsarge, named Wins low, is a Southern man, but he has embraced the cause of the North. Re and Mr. Semmes formerly served on board the same ship. Three of the crew of the Alabama died of their wounds on board the Kearsarge ' - amputation had been performed on all three. There .are eleven wounded with fractures and burning at the hospital, but they will be saved. As far as we know, only one officer, the surgeon, Dr. Llewellyn, perished, swallowed up as he finish ed dressing the, wound of a man who was saved. Another wounded officer, picked up by Major General Rose's bOat, died on board of it. Five Offi cers were saved by the pilot Manger. We offer him and his crew Ate expressions of gratitude which are the due of such self-deitotion. These five officers were' anded in the . afternoon, and among them ,Mr. Armstrong, with a slight contusion on the !eft side, caused by a fragment of a shell. The pilot. Manger landed also seven men whom he had picked up. In the evening fifty-two of the - Alabama's men, who were on board the Kearsarge, were landed; whether by order of the French authorities in eon .formitv with the law of nations, or following tele graphic instructions sent by Mr. Dayton, we do not know. It may have been rendered necessary by the . 'condition of the Kearsarge. We are ignorant of this, as well as of the number of wounded on the Federal vessel. We are also uncertain whether among the clever gunners of this ship there are not some - French deserters, recruited at Brest, where the Kearsargelnade a long stay. We guarantee the above facts. On the evening of Saturday about 10 o'clock, Captain Semmes said to M. "I am, like petrol Catholic • I shall not td-Morrow be able to attend service. 'Have a mass said for me, and hear It for my intention." The request was roligiously.obeyed. What was the respective strength of the corn batantsl The Hearsarge is of a stronger build, the engine wns protected by an armor of chains, ropes, and teak. The Alabama had eight guns, six guns on the starboard, one In the bows, and ono in the stern. The six were 30-pounders the stern chase gun 58, that in the bows 100. The k earsargo carries seven guns, but two of them aro 150-pounders. HAD FAITH OF THE ArABAXit'S OFFICEitS. It is possible that Captain Semmes will deny that he authorized a surrender, as this is the only excuse he can give for his thus breaking all the rules of of vtlized warfare: but all the officers and men taken distinctly agree; that the Alabama was surrendered. Here is another sample of the bad faith Qf the: , Alq hama's officers. .

Igave them - this permission , and 'they shoved off. After English up one or two they hauled alongside of the steam-yacht Deerhound, leaving some of their men in the water, and turning the boat adrift.

FRIENDSHIP nrrwiran PtoKwrB.-49.curious rebel visitor came stealthily into our lines at Petersburg one night during last week. Ho was invited to re main and partake..of a bountiful repast—coffee, pork, and."hard-tack:" Consent soon followed the request. While refreshing his inner man,.ourguards weretregaled with many a story, diverted with many quiet drolleries and quaint sayings. There is some thing strange in these meetings—where those who but the day before cursed each other in the heat of battle, and before early dawn, at the sound of bugle born, may slay each other when full of the bread eaten sociably together. This man came by night, not to gain information, but to eat his supper. During the day.our piokets had boon twitting them. ~ ,with what they had fur supper. Soft - bread, .SOurt kraut, and potatoes had just been issued. The rebels would not believe this to boa "true bill." Honbe this man's visit.

The reetgisation'of Mr. Chase will, it is believed, produce greater revolutions in political office than was at first apprehended. From day to day rumors Of the resignation of Mr. Barney, the collector of this port, have been Current. Starting in unknown or unappreciable quarters, without possessing that ex cathedra character which gives weight and conse quence to such flying gossip, the public has perhaps accorded to them less importance than they may have demanded. It N now stated, upon authority seemingly good, that to case Mr. Barney should not resign, be will be removed; With or without pretext, and that Simeon Draper will receive the appoint ment. Should events justify this plausible story, there will doubtless be a thorough revolutionizing of the department, Mr. Draper bearing the repu tation of a gentleman who Is devoted to progress, although the term Is not exactly synonymous with 'reform. Mr. 'Wakeman's name has been frequently mentioned in the same connection. Some time ago—such was the current gossip—the latter inau gurated vigorous efforts for the displacement of Mr. Barney, and his own substitution. These efforts, if they were made, failed. Whether Mr. Barney is or is not to be removed, it is very certain that a prehensile spirit is abroad in political circles, and that numerous gentlemen of importance are persistently awaiting a call to the collectorship, with Its patronage and emolu meet. The port may gain a better politician, but It will never gain a more thorough gentleman. JOWN OLANCY, DECEASED. The late John Clancy was a gentleman of singular suavity of manner; a man with a great, full heart, and the most kindly Interests. Possessed of talents calculated to attract the attention rather of social than of public circles, except those which he ex °nisei, as a politician, he had gained no peculiar repolatlon - for his_Cdntrlbutions to the press. His tastes were elegant and somewhat exacting. His sanctum was a model in its way, and by far the most attractive In the city. A little room, perched high above the narrow street, and yet within hear ing of the great bustle and tumult of the city, it was characteristic of the thought:and feeling of the man. Hung with a few artistic bljous; here a bit of bright ly-colored landscape, there n portrait, a. few books, and on the table a handful of pretty Insignificance& It was a sort of hermitage—a place where the man of letters would find attraction and Inspiration, Pew people comprehend that the brainand a man's surroundings are often in genuine rapport, and that the former taker its tone from the latter, It is hard to play the gentleman when the eye rests only upon the tangible circumstance of the vagabond. Mr. Glancy was a sincere lover of the metropolis. The man who pleased hlm best was be who was most thoroughly conversant with the singular•develop ments of metropolitan life. Of these he never grew tired, and his admirable paper was almost a result of this passion. TRH GOVERNOR VERSUS THE I`RESIDENT. Some excitement exists regarding Governor Sey mour's proposed State draft. The recent indications which have been given of an intention to push the prosecution of General Dix, on behalf of the injured feelings of the Governor's truly obliged and most devoted newspapers, are received as symbolical of a determination to bring the State military force to bear upon the General Government. If such sup positions are correct; if Governor Seymoni has made up his mind to bring about a—state of things which shall result in another. collision between the Society of "Friends" and the United States forces; he may possibly ascertain tharthe Government has more powerful and certabilyeleanor adherents than the Copperheads who last year held-their carnival of bloodshed and havoc In our streets.•:..l"he signs of the times are pregnant, and with the ,divelopment of every premonitory symptom of troublr,.the pub lic apprehension keeps pace. Underneakh the'hol low crust of a seeming non-apprehension, exists, as Carlyle once wrote, "not a world, but a chaos"—a Chaos, the elements of which mean violent disrup tion, and the kindling of passions easy to evoke, but hard tO soothe again into dormancy. It is now proposed that minute-men should be or ganized from among our respectable citizens : in Short, that we should stand prepared, lest, if once again the drunken . butcheries of men and women pour out from their pestilent dens with axe and torch, they Shall find us as they found us In July, folding our hands In stupid horror, powerless and • Overcome. ,Perhatis, after all, speculation upon matters like this is useless. It seems scarcely credible that Go vernor Seymour desires bloodshed in our streets, as he saw it In July, or cares to see the flames dabbling the sky with their furnace glare by night. Yet he must know that so surely as the mobocrats can base upon any net of his a single hope for the successful reinauguration of their murderous orgies, so surely will they again rise from every loathsome street in the city—and so surely will the citizens rise upon them In extermination, wittia dogged, sleuth-hound persistency, which will never rest until tle last po; nalty has been exacted. • • --- TVEATRTCXr: - The theatrical record of the past week has been one of considerable interest. The "summer sea- - sons" promise fairly. Miss Lucille Western com mences an engagement at Nlbla's on Monday eve ning, when the long-evaporated ". Sea of Ice" is to be produced. On the same evening, her sister, Helen., Western, commences at the Broadway Thea tre with the "French Spy." This twin announce ment will indicate the manner in which the pro vinces raid upon the city in the hot months. A. habeas corpus issued from WaHack's is soon "to have-and produce" the wretched old Jewess "Leah" at that house. The play is old enough to be called Methuse-Leah. The actors and actresses, especially the latter,. having suddenly discovered that managers are not over benevolent, are forming themselves into a mutual protection society. Au interested are called upon to meet at the Astor House, on Monday, then and there .to consider future prospects and methods of action. At the present rates of compensation it will soon become necessary for managers to introduce into all con tracts a covenant, on the part of the actress, that she will not 'die of starvation during her engage ment, otherwise such folly must be anticipated. SENSATIONAL ADVERTISEMENTS Paris has long been notorious for the complex and sensational qualities of its advertisements ; but New York is in a fair way to rival even the Encyclopedia: City. Here is an extract from ono which is being sown broadcast at the present time.. It refera to a new method of cure, and "consists, in conjunction with constitutional treatment, in the application of medicines directly to ,the affected parts in the form of Nebula , . of Floatin-gexslccated-soluble end ab sorbable atoms by inhalation and insufflation. By this moans the congested or inflamed or ulcerated mucous medlbrnne, or the tneipient cell changes, resulting in tubercular deposit, or the suppurating surfaces of tubercular cavities receive an appre ciable, an immediate and fixed medication, which, both in consequence of physical and chemical im possibilities, neither the watery vapor nor the gases can ever accomplish." Thii is better than Beppo Balsaruats famous rigamarole; and a person who has any of these things about him can fultrunder stand therefrom the proper method of treatment. It may not be generally known that many of our sensational advertisements are the productions of recognised men of letters, not, perhaps, of the high .est grade, still members of the distinctive literary class. "The retired physician, whose sands of life aro nearly run out," as they should have been long ago, owed his rather questionable reputation to the adroitness of one of these adroit writers. A well known cloak merchant employed a genuine poet in the construction of his poetical advertisements and handbills. Of course, the advertising press is "strictly impersonal ;" and the authors of such va grant productions are rather studious In concealing their connection with the success of nostrums and the tailoring business. Thehearingin the case of Marshal Marrayon the motion to quash the indictment against him ' tot kid napping Colonel Arguelles, came up this morning In the General Sessions Court.

To Accomplish hie object, 'he proposed to make a short Out through some apparently shallow water, ont of the usual course followed by sight seers, but the guide warned him against doing so, and supposed his advice would be heeded.

As the invasion had not assumed the pro portions which reached us after business hours, of course it had not the intense effect that one might expect. However, there was a general depression, and stocks suffered a material decline. Gold, as will be seen by the quotations, moved steadi ly upward during the day, commencing at 263 and closing at 213.
