Desperation of the North.[from the Baltimore Exchange, July 26.]
The tale of death and agony which comes to us from innumerable sources, and depicts with such a horrible but graphic fidelity the condition of the battle-field on the afternoon of Sunday, last, is touching and sorrowful to the last degree.

I therefore suggest, as there are so many applicants for work, and so little can be obtained, and the most needy are unable to buy a machine, that instead of the work being sent to a few by cartlouds, that it be more equally distributed, and all given cut to females be made by hand.
Richmond, July 26. Justice.
