kable circumstances.--N Y Evening Post. Kentucky and the Quota. The Washington Chronicle, of the 22d, has a very bitter article upon the conduct of Governor Bramlette, of Ky, in protesting against the enlistment and removal of the negroes as soldiers from that State. It makes the following extract from Bramlette's letterBramlette's letter of June 25, (which was immediately followed by a proclamation of martial law in Kentucky:) To increase the obstacles in the way of raising volunteers, immediately succeeding the draft of a county, the Provost Marshals and other recruiting agents were set actively to work to induce all the able bodied negroes in such counties out a people that were once the proudest and quickest to resent Yankee insolence in the old Union. We predict that before the last 500,000 draft is made Gov Bramlette and his slaveholding friends will be as completely prostrated as the slave power of Maryland has been.

demolished everything they could lay their hands on. The house was entirely emptied of its contents. The house of Mr C Keefer Thoman, which was occupied by the Union forces, suffered severely by the fire of the enemy. One of the shells striking it entered the dining room, and bursting occasioned considerable damage. During the fight Mr Thomas and family were in the sellar, all of whom escaped unhurt. Among the articles taken from his house were the clothing of his negroes. The barn of Mr Best, on the farm of Col Charles E Trail, was struck by a shell and destroyed. The house of Frank Maniz, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, with part of his furniture and all the railroad property, were fired by the rebels and entirely consumed. Previous to the entry into this city, on the evening of the evacuation of our city by Gen Wallace, these highway robbers visited the residence of Col George R. Dennis, west of this city, on the Harper's Ferry turnpike, and, after helping themselv

The Hagerstown Herald states that in addition to the sum of $20,000 demanded by the invaders, to be paid by the citizen the following articles had to be furnished: Coats, 243; pants, 203, drawers, 132; hose, 737; boots, 99; shoes, 123; hats, 830; shirts, 225; piece goods, 1,270½ yards; clothing, 70 pieces, assorted Amongst the sufferers whose stores were rifled were Messrs Knodle and Small, shoe dealers, and Messrs Rouskutp and Updergraff, dealers in hate. The losses by these gentlemen were considerable. In Williamsport the raiders entered the stores and carried off whatever suited their purpose, and even entered private houses, compelling ladies to open bureau drawers in order that they might take therefrom any articles of value which they found The losses sustained by the merchants and dealing men of the place are said to have been heavy.

It would not be at all surprising now it similar proceedings should be instituted, for like offences, against two weekly papers published in this city. Both have been for some time past publishing ferocious articles against the draft, but if proceeded against at all, it will probably be by civil process. Another meeting of the theatrical profession was held this afternoon, at the Tremont House, Broadway, with reference to an advance of compensation. About thirty-five actors w present, and Mr Davidge, the comedian, presided. The result of their deliberations has not transpired at this writing.

ommunications are soon restored — Destruction of property and robbery of stores do not involve impoverishment. Moreover, they have no natural effect upon the main movements of the armies. They are at most an interruption. We do not know of an instance in which they have compelled an enemy to retreat or to yield a strong position. Our own raids have been more or less failures. At the time of their occurrence we had glowing accounts of the raids of Stoneman, Sheridan, Averill, Wilson, and Kautz, and of the dash and brilliancy of their opponents. But beyond the loss of hundreds of gallant men, and some of our finest officers, and horses without number, to what did they practically amount? How will the columns of profit and loss when added up balance? We can have no better illustration of the practical result of these expeditions than that afforded by the recent visit to our doors. On the one hand, we have lost property, but we are very far from being ruined. On the other, the m

The Washington Chronicle, noticing the failure of the late "peace negotiations," says: After considerable correspondence between the parties, it was concluded to refer the whole matter back to the two Governments for reconsideration. All negotiations having been terminated Mr Greeley, in company whit Mr Ray, Private Secretary of Mr Lincoln, catted upon the Commissioners at the Clifton House, on the side, where a protracted and pleasant interview was held, and the various questions under consideration were discussed at length.

Col Jacques was sent with his men to the Army of the Cumberland, where he fougme up in Tennessee, and in the arrangement of which we believe Col Jacques has been for some time engaged. The reporter who tells the story of Colonel Jacques's visit to Richmond assert that it was no respect official in its character, and that he had no warranty whatsoever tom these hints it is not difficult for those who have known of Col Jacques's efforts in Tennessee to guess what has been his object in visiti the reunion between Northern and Southern denominations which Col Jacques expected to bring about in Tennessee, with what success or effect thfulness to the Union and their opposition to slavery. We fear Col. Jacques will accomplish little of the purpose he has at heart. --But he
