Allhnvgh all clastic, even In the rural districts, suffer more or less from its slfccts, ct It is in great cities like Philadelphia, where most of the nomilntion la enaired In commerce and manufactures, thnt the greatest loss and enlTeriiig ia evident. Thora arc liun. dreils who, having been llitown out of cmpt"v ment, have no moan to secure tho necessaries of life, and many of them are already suffering from the pangs of hunger and etaitation. They ak for employment, and have, through pulmo meetings, petitioned tho City Councils to inau gurate some public improvement, to afford them the means of subsistence. Yet these people are amnio; tho most loyal cf our citizens, and do not complain or question the policy of the war, or stop to Inquire into the ennses that produced it. I.ust week au "Anti-War Editorial Conven tion" was held at New York. Tbe New York Day Dook and the Daily News, of that city, were among the dozen papers represented. These papers all figured as advocates of Oreckin- riiloe. and ara thn natters that furnish moat of the treasonable provender for the country papers of like eympathies: with occasional supplies from the New York Herd.!, the hig gun of Secession, which for some months past had been silenced, or lempoiatily converted by the. indigna. lion of the people Tbe insignificance alone of the Day Hook and News was all that saved them. These are tbe bilile end testament of the smaller treasonable papers throughout the country, and furnished them with that kind of sustenance which a dtlute patriotism seemed to require, W which a limited amount of brains rendeied them incapable of producing themselves. Thnt the sudtleii conversion of the New York Herald was Anything but a sudden shift to avoid some disagreeable consequences, we have always believed. The editor iirofeJira a corr.nremise of Northern and Southern principles and interests, for the purpose of waginp; a war of conquest against Cuba, Mexico, Central America nnd Canada. He urges this wild scheme, as follows' "Wo propose an armistice, a coalition, and a "compromise. Let there be an armistice between "our loyal and revolted States, for one, two, or "three years, in reference to our domestic Iron "blue. Let Ua settle the difficulties between the "North and South as speedily as possible, and "match the united armies cf the two sections t" "the liberation of Cuba, St. Domingo, Porto "liico, and the other West India Islands, and to "tbe liberation, also, of Mexico. Let us combine "agaimt tbo common enemy, and dispute tbe "supremacy ol die Mittres of the Seas."

After the boat bad left Point Lookout, Captain Hollins threw off bis disguise, and with thn aid of the passengers seized the boat v bicb was immediately put across to Coney river, on the Virginia side. Here the rest of tba passengers, not parties to tbe plot, were landed; including the Captain of tbe boat who was placed under a guurd. 'i'be steamer thvu went oo a piratical cruise towards the ltappahaonock river, capturing three vessels on the way, leden with ice, coal and coffee, with all of which Captain Hol lius made his way to Fredericksburg. The Secession papers hero publish accounts of this affair this evening, calling it a brilliant exploit. 'I'be accounts say that two hundred Rebels were placed on board ul Coney. A Terkibi.k Oath. Twelve "secesbert, admirers of Jackson, wbo shot Col. Flls worth, bavu bound themselves, by a terrible oath, to kill one thousand Northerners, in ra. venge for bit death. This sanguinary task, when arithmetically divided, gives eigty three and one third victims to each of Ibeue Month eru Thugs. What tba penalty or sanction of tha oath it we are not informed.

Mr. Rusell, the correspondent of tbe Lon don Times, writing from New Orleans cm tbe 24tb or May, says it is impossible to resist tbe conviction tbut tbe Southern Confederacy can ouly be conquered by means as irresisti ble as those by which Poland was subjugated. There is a determination evinced to resist tho North as long as tbey can command a man or dt4lr. Fir. On Sunday morning last, about 3 o'clock ao alarm of fire awoke our citizens from their slumbers, and the Cause proved to be tbe burning or Trego's Foundry, In Upper Milton. Before tbe engines were oo the ground tbe building was nearly consumed, but tby succeeded in preventing tbe spread of the lire. Tbete was no insurance on the property, and we understand tbe loss is about 1ft 00.
