The charge for hoarding i sl 4 I per day, w one dollar f r each meal, and one dollar for lodging. The cash :4p•tera is in force, and you pay fur meals before you get them ; and if you should happen to dine ont with a friend, you are not charged for the weal at the hotel.— They '-set" a tolerably fair table, having improved considerably in that respect since the I Tniot occupation =ET= Other hotels will soon be opened, and in a short time the tc.:eotninodations will be ample. Eating-houses are not to be found. One or two were started on a small scale ; but as they charged a dollar (greenback) for a cup of coffee, a potato tad a piece of bread, their customers found it to their interest to patronize the Spottswood, where they could get a full meal fur the same. monev. Boarding-houses are scarce. Indeed, the supply of food was so limited, that very few persons continued the business. Some few have opened, I believe, who charge ti:2() per week in greenbacks, for board. The chief diet of the people ap pears to have been bacon or ham, potatoes, garden stuff, corn breed, and fish. They obtained a plentiful supply of the latter from the river. THE 'TARIFF UP CONFEDERATE PRICES I obtained the following as the list of prices which ruled under Jeff. Davis' ad ministration, a short tiwo before the evacuation Black tea, $125 per pound ; green tea, $200: coffee, $5O to $lOO per pound ; eggs,s2B per dozen; wood,slso per cord; pins, $3O per paper; 'Calicoes, $3O per yard; watches, $3 to $4 per box; shoes and gaiters, $160 : 0 $2OO per pair; but ter, $l6 to $2O pdr pound ; lard, $lB to $2O per pouud.

Pry/ Goods um/ Shoes.—ln dry goods scarcely any has been received in -Rich mond sip ec the evacuation, and therefore no established prices can be obtained.— Parties having them on hand generally fix their own prices, according to the pat terns called for. Calicoes can now be bought for 35c. per yard ; unbleached cottons, 40 and 45c. per yard. We-were informed yesterday by a merchant that advises received by him from the North repcsented a heavy decline in all classes of dry goods, which, if so, will produce a similar decline in this market. The sut lers have on hand small lots of gentle non's shoes, (high quarters,) which they are retailing at $4 to $4 50 per pair. MEI sTOCKS OF OOUDS ON lIANO Appearances indicate that only small Mocks of goods are on hand in the stores, which was attested by the empty Shelves of most of them I bought a small pen knife—'' a blockade knife," as the store keeper culled it—at $1 50, about the same figure it could be obtained in Philadel phia. The storekeeper said all his goods were obtained through the blockade. officer went into a dry goods store to buy sonic crape. The lady in attend ance said she hardly knew what price to charge in greenbacks, as she got $l5O per yard for crape in Confederate money ; but she thought about trr•rr rhi/bris in green backs would answer, which was willingly paid, and the piece cut off. The officer inquired how she got her goods ; to which she replied that the heaviest goods came through the blockade ; but that the lighter and fancy articles were smuggled from the North across the Potomac during the whole of the war. Croekerywaro appeared to be more scarce than any article of domestic use. Being a bulky article, the blockade-run ners did not seem to bring supplies. I was told by one citizen that they had no supplies in that line since the war began, that the stocks in the stores had long since been exhausted, and they could not get a fresh supply. Glass tumblers are scarcely to be seen, and broken pitchers are the order of the day even at the best hotel. Sumner & Co. were the largest dealers in crockery and Liverpool ware, but they closed long since, as they could not replenish their stock. The d.struction of so much of the business portion of the city has 3aused a scarcity of stores. The city is filled with speculators, from Baltimore, Washington, and the North, who have rented nearly every store or place of business that was found vacant. Rents under Confederate rule, were enormous ; and many contracts made under that dynasty must be repu diated, as it will be impossible to pay such rates in greenbacks. The owners, however, are firm in their demands, and ask exorbitant rates in greenbacks, because they know that stores and houses are scarce. Some will not lease by the year, but want to lease for three or five years, and refuse any other terms. A location ono Milo out of town, was wanted by a Northerner to start a larger beer saloon. The owner refused to lease it, except for five years, and $BOO yearly rent. The whole property was not worth the rent charged, and the dealer declined to ne gotiate. The citizens are nearly all in town. None have left, except those offi cially connected with the rebel Govern ment, and the crowds on the streets daily . indicate a large resident population. Not a house for rent did I see during my visit. Dealers in tobacco put up the price to Northern rates as soon as our troops en tered, and the citizens opened their stores, although the tobacco has not paid One cent of Government tax. Hotels are not allowed to sell liquor of. any kind ; but enterprising darkeys sell root beer and lemonade at, the street cor ners. A glass of ale cannot be had for any price. • LADIES' PASHIONS Silks were scarcely thought of. Most of the ladies had a - supply of• silk dress es before the war, and these they pro served 'carefully, to wake them ..last. HOUSE RENTS CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1865. Some did indulge in the luxury at the rate of 250 to 300 per yard ; but, gen erally, silks did not find a ready sale. I observed many of the ladies dressed in black silks, out in rather antiquated fashions. They mostly wear bats of the old styles, prevalent with us years ago. These were worn in Richmond b . ., ladies of all ages, although they do not look very "becoming," except upon young miss es. I observed many ladies dressed in mourning. I looked in vain for a "wa terfall." Not one was to be discovered. VIE CURRENCY QUESTION The greatest difficulty experienced in Richmond, at the present time, is in re gard to the currency. Every one of the old residents has got "stacks" of Confed erate money ; but as that now is not worth more than six cents a pound as waste paper, or five or ten cents for a hundred dollars by curiosity-seekers, the matter of exchange between buyer and seller is somewhat difficult. "Greenbacks" are now the only currency; and the most virulent " secesh" would not touch a " Confed." note with a pair of tongs in exchange for his tobacco or merchandise. This tends to retard all kinds of business; but - Federal money is rapidly flowing in, and soon there will be plenty of it A National Bank is about being estab lished by Hamilton G. Fant, Esq., of Washington, and he expects, in the course of thirty days, to turn out as many green backs as may be'needed. He has asso ciated with him a Mr. Godden, banker, of Richmond; and Fent intends taking up hie abode here, permanently to " run the machine." The derangement of the currency caus. es great distress among the poorer classes, ninny of whom have plenty of the rebel " trash, " but cannot buy a meal's victuals with it. Being dressed in dark clothes—(every man and boy in Richmond dresses in gray, homespun, or goods important through the blockade) —I was conspicuous as a Northern man ; and while walking on the street I was aocosted by a poor fellow, almost with tears in his eyes, who begged me, for God's sake, to give him something with which to buy his family some food. He said they had not tasted anything for nearly two days ; that he had plenty of Confed. money, but it was worthless; and that his wife got tired out waiting her turn in the crowd at the commissary's office to get something to eat. I pited him, and sent him on his way rejoicing ; for although he was a rebel, I could not resist that appeal. I was in General Ord's office, and saw respectable females begging for employ ment for their husbands and brothers at clerking, at laboring work, or anything that would enable thorn to earn their bread. The answer of General Curtis was, that he had no authority to employ any ono to labor; that clerks were detailed from the soldiers, and all the laboring work need ed was done by the contrabands. One poor woman burst into tears exolaming, bitterly—" What shall I do? We are utterly destitute I" These scenes are of daily occurrence. The release of so many men from the rebel army, in which they were fed and clothed, and throwing them upon their own individual resources for support, will glut the market for labor fur some time to come. Those who have friends and relatives who can aid them, t row them- selves upon their generosity, and many are kept from starvation in this way; but it will require the exercise of the wisest statemanship to remedy the evils under which those men suffer, and prevent them from becoming desperadoes, robbing and murdering from actual necessity. A number of the rebel officers and soldiers who have been paroled, have come to Richmond, and some have sold their horses and equipments to raise funds to reach their homes. Their ideas of prices however, have to be " toned down" con siderably, as many still base their calcu lation of value on the basis of Confeder ate currency. I know of one who asked throe hundred dollars in greenbacks for a horse, which he was glad to sell after ward for oue hundred dollars. And so with others. It is a bitter thing for thorn to realize, but they must come down to it. THE REBEL PAROLED PRISONERS It has been stated in the Northern pa. pers that the rebel officers wear their side arms and uniforms, and exhibit a defiant attitude. I can only speak of what I saw myself, and must contradict thiifirst part of this statement flatly., No rebel officer or soldier is allowed to carry any weap ons. An order from the provost marshal positively forbids - it, and this order is rigid ly enforced. The rebels wear their uni forms because they have nothing else to wear. These paroled rebels are sent to their homes as'faet as they - can be sent away. It is the wish of General Ord to got them out, 2,f the city as soon as possible, and hundreds of them are sent off daily.. There aro-a-number of rebel officers' who reside in Richmond, and these, of course, have been permitted to remain. i. have seen large crowds of them on the strect,,:and I have never seen any vio lence exhibited on their part, nor'on the part of Union officers , toward Tiey treat each other respectfully and civilly. Wink_ they may think I know not; but as for giving expression to defi ant sentiments I have never heard it.— Indeed it would not be permitted by the Union military authorities. I was in front of the Spottswood on the Sunday evening when news was received of lie assassination of President Lincoln. ieing a civilian, I circulated among the crowd without their knowing that I was a Northern man. Expressions of deep regret at the occurrence were made on every side, and the dastardly perpetrator was denounced in unmeasured terms. Ore man in a gray suit said, "Why did they not kill the villain on the spot?— They ought to have caught him and burn ed him to death !" And this was the gen cal sentiment of that assemblage I feel assured, and of their sincerity I entertain no doubt, for they one and all looked up on.. President Lincoln as their best North ernil friend. They fear Andy Johnson. And well they may. They had begun to think that Lincoln would pardon them ; but what Johnson will do they know not, and they are tortured with apprehension. - A committee of citizens of Richmond waited upon General Ord after the assas sination of the President, and desired per mission to call a public meeting to ex press their indignation at the act. This General Ord disapproved, for what he considered good reasons, one of which was, I believe, that as it was proposed to call a meeting, of citizens exclusively, some might be present who would oppose the proceedings, and it might result in 4. disturbance which would require military interference. They then requested per mission for City Councils to bold a meet ing and pass suitable resolutions; but this, too, was disapproved. The prevailing sentiment, so far as I could asceitain it, in Richmond, is a feel ing of relief of mind that the rebellion is over. They seem glad of it, and speak cheerfully of their willingness to come back again under the old flag. I talked to editors, newspaper men, storekeepers, and all with whom I was thrown in con tact, and this was the prevailing senti ment. One prominent personage said : "I am willing to admit that this country can nevei be divided. lam certain that se cession never can succeed, nor the South eru,Vonfederacy ever be established. ft is (? , ;(1. We have had a fair stand up fight, and our party have been whipped; and I, for one, am willing to turn in and support the Union." "Well," said I; "how about yonr nig- gers 1" "Hang the niggers I" said he; let them go. That question will never separate us rtaign. The truth is, the people of the South are whipped, and they know it just as well as we of the North do, and they are anxious now to make the best they can out of a bad bargain. They all know that they must lose their slaves. It is a bit ter pill for them to swallow; but it can't be helped, and they mil/swallow it. With• out their slaves they must work them selves, and necessity will soon bring them down to that ; and when they learn to labor for their own support, all these ridic ulous ideas about "chivalry" and "aristoc racy" will disappear. What the policy of the General Gov ernment will be toward these people I know not; but as every reflecting man must see that the Government cannot pun ish a whole community, nor hold them as conquered slaves, the consequences of this rebellion must fall on the leaders. Dis franchise them all ; hang some of them; make every prominent leader ineligible to office during his lifetime ; allow all to take the oath of allegiance who will do so vol untarily; and before ten years every man who took any prominent par&in it will be odious in the community in which he lives. Large numbers of citizens of Richmond are taking the oath of allegiance daily, and I should not be surprised to find, be fore one month, that one-half of the pop ulation had taken the oath, without any compulsion, but of their own free will. The Body of the Assassin The disposition made of the body of the Assassin is a subject which now ex cites much interest. The journals each have a theory of their own. The Now York Times deolires that, after the au topsy by the Surgeon General, "the body WAS dissected, and, in separate pieces, sewed in cloths with heavy weights, and placed in a small vessel, which made a short circuitous trip upon the Potomac, and, without landing, returned to the navy yard minus the body." The New York World is even more dramatic than this. The writer says : "Yesterday the Secretary of War, with out instructions of any kind, committed to Colonel Lafayette C. Beier, of the se cret service, the stark corpse of The As sassin. The secret service never fulfilled its vocation more secretively. "What have you done with the body ?" eaidito Baker.. "That is-known," lie — answered, "to only one man- living- besides myself. It is gone,. I will . not tell you where. The only: man whe knows is sworn to silence: , NeVer till the great trumpeter comes shall the grave of The Anemia be . (..L ! csit discovered." And this is true. Last night, the 27th of April, a small row boat received the carcass of the murderer; two men were in it, they carried the body off into the darkness, and out of the dark pees it will never return. In the dark ness, like his great crime, may it remain forever, impalpable, invisible, nondescript, condemned to that worse than damnation, annihilation. The river-bottom may ooze about it, laden with great shot and drown ing manacles. The earth may have open ed to give it that silence and forgiveness which man will never give its memory. The fishes may swim around it, or the daises grow white above it—but we shall never know." The _Herald says that "the authorities are not inclined to give the wretched car cass the honor of meeting the public gaze, and it will probably be deposited in what ever place promises the most utter ob scurity for them. Yesterday a photo graphic view of the body was taken be fore it was removed from the monitor.— It was placed in an ordinary gray army blanket, in which it was sewed up. A plain, casket-shaped box, measuring six feet by two, had been previously made in the joiner's shop for the remains, but it was not used." The News says, in its special dispatch, that "the body has been disposed of in some manner unknown to the public. Current reports concerning it remind us of the manner in which young Dahlgren's body was said to have' been treated." At a meeting held in Dayton, Ohio, it was "resolved" that the body be carried out to mid-ocean and there buried. Other persons think that the remains have been given to the doctors. The probability is, however, that they have been interred by the authorities in some obscure spot, of which the public will never be informed. The nag and the Cross In the Senate of the United States, in the year 1862, Mr. Johnson, now the President of the United States, gave ex pression to sentiments which we have pe culiar pleasure in repeating : " But let us go on ; let us encourage the army and navy ; let us vote the men and the means necessary to vitalize and to bring into requisition the enforcing and coercive power of the Government; let us crush out the rebellion, and anx iously look forward the day--God grant it may come soon! when thatbaleful comet of fire and blood which now hovers over this distracted people may be chased away by the benignant st•,r of peace. Let us look forward to the time when we can take the flag, that glorious flag of our country, and nail it below the cross, and there let it wave as it waved in the olden time, and let us gather around it, and in scribe as our motto, "Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever."-- Let us gather around it, and while it hangs floating beneath the cross, let us exclaim,—" Christ first, our country next." Oh, how greatly rejoiced I should be to see the dove returning to the ark with the olive leaf, indicating that land was found, and that the mighty waters had abated. I trust the time will soon come when we can do as they did in olden times, when the stars sang together in the morning, and all creation proclaimed the glory of God. Then let us do our duty in the Senate and in the councils of the nation, and thereby stimulate our brave officers and soldiers to do theirs in the field. GEN. GRANT'S HOUSE IN PHILADEL PHIA.—The mansion presented to General Grant by the Philadelphians was thrown open for public inspection on Saturday afternoon. It is located on Chestnut street, is 22 feet front by 105 deep, and four stories high, with a sandstone front. Of the interior the Inquirer says " The parlor, about 17 by 40 feet, is superbly furnished, the carpet being of velvet, the furniture of walnut, and the curtains of the richest lane. The piano and all the articles of furniture in the rooms are in the hightest style of me chanical art. Vases of an antique pattern decorate the richly-carved marble mantle, and an elegant clock, surmounted by a figure representing the historian, is in the centre of it. On the centre table is a Magnificent copy of the Bible. Passing on to the dining-room, are ex posed to view on an extension table, a silver tea set and a china dinner and tea set, together with pearl-handled knives and silver forks. A prominent figure on it is a large silver candelabra and flower stand combined. In the dining room is a very beautiful sideboard. The reception room, on the second floor back, is also richly furnished. In the third•story chambers the floors are cov ered with Brussels carpeting, and the furniture is of a_superior. kind. All por tions of the house are furnished in the most •complete manner, and when the family of the General takes possession of it, which they are expected to do to-day, they will find in the pantry some of the substantials of life, "and coal in the cellar with which to do the cooking. The interior cost of the • mansion is about fifty-thousand dollars. ir rftEI3I.ISENT #IOIINSQN, it is skid, is pre• paring a new amnesty prgolamation.

How humble yet how hopefnl ho could be How in good fortune and in ill the same Nor bitter In success, nor bonstful he, Thirsty for gold, nor feverish for fume.

A recent traveler in Mexico tells the following amusing anecdote of a scene at a roulette table : On a Whitsunday, the first clerk of a considerable German house I , whose name I do not state as I am afraid the present respected head of the firm might not be pleased at it, went into his principal, who was engaged in dressing, and asked for a funey,t—that is to say, a sum of one thousand pesos from his own salary. " Most willingly, my dear B !" the principal replied; " but I must ask you to fetch the money yourself, as the cashier is away. Here are the keys of the cash-box, in which you will find bags of counted piastres " The young man did as he was told and, shortly after arrived with his bag of mon ey at San Augustin, where he selected the most elegant of the gambling houses. He went up to a roulette table and asked the banker, while looking at him intently and placing the bag on the green cloth: " Will you accept my stake on No. 33,?" " Con muchessimy gusto, cabellero," the banker answered, without knowing exact ly what the bag contained ; but a Mexican would feel ashamed to decline a wager. The ball was set rolling. and No. 33 won. A. slight pallor crossed the bank er's face, for he believed, like all present that young B—'s bag contained a funega, and as the stake must be paid thirty-five fold, this made no slight amount. The bag was opened, however, for the purpose of verification ; but who can des cribe the consternation of the banker and the amazement of all present when it was found that it was full of gold -1,000 ounces instead of $l,OOO, or altogether 16,000 piastres! A perfect tempest broke out among the public. The most astonished of all, however was young B—himself, who was unable to speak through fright. The banker de clared his inability tO pa:kiso fabulous. a sum, but as is always the 'case on such cocasions, the public took part against him. It was found out that he was not the proprietor of the bank, but that a
