is reported to exist in Richmond, may undergo a very decided change, We are, gentlemen, yours respectfully, Several Ladies. The suggestions of our correspondent accord with what we have often said on the subject. The treatment of Lincoln prisoners ought to be regulated entirely by that which the Confederates in his hands receive. The recent atrocious act of the Federal Congress, giving to every military commandant of a district which he may choose to declare in a state of insurommandant of a district which he may choose to declare in a state of insurrection, the power to put any man accused of treason against Lincoln to death, without judge or jury, renders it more than ever desirable that we should hold in strict confinement all the hostages we possess for his good conduct. Many considerations concur in sustaining the policy of removing the large number of prisoners now in the city, and distributing them among the jails and fortresses of the Confederate States.

if the usurper, and his minions of the Cabinet, shall be reached yet in the midst of their guards. If Charles the 1st, a better man and more merciful ruler than Lincoln, and the best of his Cabinet, had his Cromwell; if CÆsar, a king of Nature's making, had his Brutus, what may this usurping ape, Lincoln, expect? For himself, anLincoln, expect? For himself, and for Seward, his chief counsellor, the subtle and unscrupulous friend, who is responsible for all the woes and blood shed of this war, there must be a future retribution. Men will rise up who are willing to take their lives in their hands; who can wait long and watch sleeplessly; men who can surpass even the subtlety and secretiv woes and blood shed of this war, there must be a future retribution. Men will rise up who are willing to take their lives in their hands; who can wait long and watch sleeplessly; men who can surpass even the subtlety and secretiveness of even Lincoln and Seward, till they obtain an opportunity to rid the earth of such monsters.

Carlile on Moral Obligations. --In the course of a speech delivered in the United States Senate on the 30th ult., the traitor Carlile said: He was free to say if he should be so unfortunate as to be taken prisoner by the enemies of his country, and could only preserve his life by taking the oath, and if he believed it his duty to his country and family to preserve his life, then he should not regard the oath as a binding obligation, morally or legally. If we are correctly informed (says the N. O. Bulletin,) several of the United States Army officers recently captured by Gen. Van Dorn, in Texas, and released on their parole of honor not to serve in the United States Army during the present war, entertained the same idea of the binding obligation of an oath that the dishonorable Mr. Carlile does, and have assumed positions in Lincoln's army.

e the Government with a debt of $225,000,000, which would be a most disastrous affair. There is no possibility that it will continue so long, far less that "Fremont, with a hundred thousand men, should descend the Mississippi and capture New Orleans" and Mobile with all the cotton those cities contain, or that "some General of capacity (not Butler) should advance with a hundred thousand troops and seize all the cotton in South Carolina and Georgia." It is ludicrous to hear the advocates of Lincoln talk so magniloquently three, weeks after the rout at Bull Run. Nevertheless, Bennett has convinced himself that the Confederate States cannot "raise the wind." On the other hand, he is convinced that the Yankee Government can command any amount of cash in Europe. English financiers, he says, are very glad to get American securities. This is the most unblushing falsehood ever published even in the New York Herald. The Herald knows it to It knows that the pitiful loan of five millio

Congressman Ely. --The telegraph, informs us that Congressman Ely has sent a letter to his late master, Abraham Lincoln, in which it is understood he decidedly favors the recognition of the Confederacy, in so far as an exchange of prisoners is concerned. If this is true, it proves that Mr. Ely is looking after his personal safety. He might as well advocate a full recognition at once, and them, if he ever manages to get a free pass from Harwood's factory to Rochester, he would, if consisfree pass from Harwood's factory to Rochester, he would, if consistent, endeavor to atone for his past political sins, by pointing out to the Black Republicans the error of their ways. But we have little faith in the integrity of any of Lincoln's Congressmen, and if the Honorable Mr. Ely should prove an exception to his class, it would be truly astonishing. Nevertheless, we would not have it supposed that we desire to discourage his efforts in behalf of a recognition of our national rights.

eople cannot afford to allow their grain to rot upon their hands, and if the Southern market is not opened to them, they must inevitably suffer from the want of a market. All have seen the capacity of the people to manufacture anything they may need. It seems that the Lincoln Administration have now ascertained that they have been conferring on us the greatest benefit, by keeping up this blockade, and they now wish to relax its vigor. Will our authorities permit it? Will they allow Lincoln to ship western wheat, corn, flour, and bacon here, to undersell our own farmers and enrich the men who are warring upon us, thus enabling them to pay the heavy war tax and carry on this unholy war? We trust not. We call upon them promptly and effectively to stop such shipments, and, at the same time, that they protect our own people, deprive the enemy of the means of carrying on the war. According to the law of nations, persons found trading with an alien enemy, are guilty of a high m

The National Zearing. --This is the title of a new German weekly paper just started in New York, by an association of Germans, who are opposed to Lincoln's war. It is under the editorial control of Dr. Hopke, one of the oldest German, writers of this country.
