A retired Confederate beef Contractor in New York. --Says a correspondent of the St. Louis Republican: Strange people are apt to turn up strangely in a great city. In Broadway, the other day, I met a gentleman — perhaps I should say a man — from the South, whom I had not seen for years. He was a Northern man, and was doing business in the South, at the commencement of the war, when he joined his fortune to the Southern Confederacy, (so called,) and soon became a rich man, as he had a contract for supplying two of the largest Confederate armies with beef. He turned most of his Confederate scrip into cotton, of which he ran out two cargoes, both of them arriving safely at their destination. He then deserted the Confederacy himself and "realized" on his cotton, and it was a "big thing." He is now here, living in fine style, and expecting to settle down and go into business in New York. It is to be supposed that he is now a thoroughly loyal man and ready to "support the Ad

The country people swarm into town to get rid of their money and j26th street, called the "St. James," and another of equal magnificence lower down called the "Albemarle." Nearly all of Broadway, below Broome street, is occupied with wholesale stores. The fashionable part of the street now extends as high up as 34th street. A horse railway runs through the upper part of Broadway. Madison Square is becoming the centre of the city. It is faced by several fashionable hotels. A new theatre is projected there, and the local authorities talk of building a new City Hall in the Park. The lower part of Broadway preserves its olden features. There is the same apparently inextricable jam of omnibuses opposite Barbum's Museum, and the Battery clings to its latter day characteristics of dirt and unsavoriness.

far without his equal in the present armies of the old world. Stone wall Jackson commanded the admiration of the Yankees as well as of the rest of mankind. Even Beecher made him the subject of an elaborate enology. Beauregard stands high with the Yankees for his defence of Charleston and his admirable retreat from Corinth. The other Confederate Generals best known, and whose merits are handsomely acknowledged, are Joe Johnston, Longstreet, Magruder, Hardee, and Polk Portraits of all these officers can readily be obtained at the bookstores in New York and Boston. At Frederick's show windows on Broadway, are displayed two splendid photographs, one of Lee and the other of Jackson. During my stay in New York I frequently met with photographs of our "Stonewall," displayed in public places. President Davis is thought to be a very able man, but O, so wicked! "If we had a man like Jeff Davis in the Presidential chair we would have put down the rebellion long ago," is a common remark.

Washington the passenger cannot but dreamily contrast the memory of his recent sufferings upon the overtasked railroads of "Dixie" with the speed, the comfort and the roominess of the Northern car. I shall not attempt to carry your readers into Broadway — a thousand times described, but as indescribable as Niagara — nor to enter upon any attempt at detail. There is such matter for all feeling in this street that the mind sinks crushed.--Luxury, ostentation, heedlessness, heartlessness — the riand such like into a kind of demigod — a man not only as good as his neighbor, but vastly greater and loftier? Occasionally, with the usual fanfares of magnificent bands, regiments "fresh from our country's glorious battle-fields," parade along Broadway, with battle flags tattered and torn, and (as is insinuated) riddled into shreds by the tornado of shot through which they have passed. I have, as it happens, seen too many Confederate battle flags which have been through every encounter of th

he (Chalker) had got $100, and that $100 was Brigg's half. Mr. Chalker, however, had Briggs in his power, and by simply making known antecedents could procure his summary arrest, without process of law, of course. Another Snug transaction. Here is another incident which illustrates the general probably and incorruptibility of Custom- House officials. Mr. Chalker once upon a time, in the exercise of his official authority, seized a quantity of liquor from a liquor merchant on Broadway, Mr. Chalker then having accomplished this official transaction proceeded to prosecute a little private business by sending a messenger to the merchant with the request to know what he would pay to have his liquors restored to him. The merchant gave his check for fifty dollars, and got his liquors back again. A Fright in the Custom-House. The day after the arrest of Chalker, a meeting of certain parties high in authority in the Custom-house took place, and it was decided that Chalk

of the military fruits of the victory? Oh! look a little at its other hideous offspring. We have to search all over the wide North to be conscious of the desolation that the past accursed sennight has engendered. Hear at our own doors the wail of the stricken ones — count within the city's limits the innumerable mourners. The streets were thronged, the kerchiets waved, the shout of admiration was heard when the ninth regiment of our city's best and bravest tramped gayly, boldly down Broadway, to fight the Abolition battle. In those full ranks were the youth, the manhood, and the pride of New York. Where are they now? Of the 9th regiment remain four officers and fifteen men The day will come when the authors of this war will realize their responsibility. The Abolitionist will be started from his fanaticism by the cry of the millions who now mourn silently, but who will one day swell the inevitable chorus of broken hearts, appealing to God for vengeance upon those that w

, who escorted the body from the battle field to Fredericksburg, thence to Plain and Washington. Although the route to the capital is infested by guerillas, the escort reached their destination without molestation. The body having been embalmed in Washington, was brought to this city on Wednesday night, and on its arrival yesterday was received at the Courtlandt street depot by two companies of regulars from Governor's Island, who escorted the remains to Adams & Co's Express Buildings in Broadway, and then returned to their barracks. Subsequently the remains were removed to the Governor's room, City Hall, where they lay in state during the day, and were visited by thousands of people. The coffin was enshrouded with a silk flag, and on the lid was a beautiful wreath of holly leaves and flowers, with this inscription: To the memory ofGen Sedgwick, of Connecticut,from Mrs. Jas. Dixon, of Hartford, Connecticut. On the breast of the deceased was a beautiful bouquet, which was

verything are to be still more enhanced by the passage of the new tariff and internal tax bills, now before Congress. The principal hotels in New York, led off by Hiram Cranston, have raised their rates to $5 per day. The stage companies on Broadway have raised their fares from six to ten cents. The Irish laborers demand 12 per day for digging dirt. The opera and theatre are advancing their charges for admission. Our Southern people are perhaps so blunted by high prices that they can hardme weeks ago, I heard the "health of Jeff Davis" and "success to the Confeds" --the toast more than once, and loudly given at that — in the bar-room of the St. Nicholas Hotel. One night about twelve o'clock I heard a party of revellers pass down Broadway singing the "Bonnie Blue Flag" at the top of their lungs. On another occasion some feminine was beating the hotel piano with "My Maryland" in vocal accompaniment. George Wilkes, the Abolition editor of the Spiral of the Times, calls loudly for
