The Daily Dispatch: November 10, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Northern Virginia--a raid of the enemy at Fredericksburg. (search)
Southern cotton and tobacco, the great staples of the world, all passed through their hands on their way to a foreign market. The very negroes, for whose sake they were constantly threatening the South, were a source of far more profit to them than they have ever been to their masters. The cotton and tobacco of the South were, indeed, the grand levers that set all Northern trade in motion. Without them New York would never have risen much above the figure that represented her population in 1810, and New England would have been, where she ought to be now, at the tall of the Union. The Democrats could see all this, but the Republicans could not, and they persisted until they destroyed the Union. The Democrats now wish to restore that Union, because while it existed it was a source of unalloyed prosperity. They see plainly enough that if the North be compelled to pay the same duties with England, England will supplant the manufactures of the North. They see that if direct trade

passed Fort Sumter on Monday and Tuesday and that Charleston was being bombarded. This extraordinary statement of course needs confirmation. A body of 400 rebels crossed the Cumberland on the 18th at Noweca, Ky., and it was reported that a large force was following. It is expected the rebel invasion of Kentucky has already begun. Affairs in Poland are unchanged, although rumor prevailed that Russia would shortly issue an space reconstructing the kingdom of Poland as it existed in 1810, with the Grand Duke Constantine as Sovereign. The London Times says "the Federal Government is utterly discredited." "The Union is resolving itself into the elements out of which it was originally constructed." "The great fabric which existed two years ago, exists no longer even in name." A State dinner was given on the 18th to the Hayton Minister. Col. Fry, of the Adjutant general's office, has been appointed Provost Marshal General of the United States. Two hundred thou

eatures in the life of this once honored but now unlamented Kentuckian: The death of Mr. Crittenden, announced a few days since by telegraph, seems to have elicited very little notice from the press. He died, it appears, at the advanced age of seventy seven. He was a native of Woodford county, Kentucky, or what is now known as such, but then Virginia, his birth being prior to the formation of Kentucky as a State. He was graduated at William and Mary College. He settled as a lawyer in 1810 at Russellville, in Kentucky. He was elected to the Senate of the United States, and took his seat in 1817,--A few years afterward he removed to Frankfort. I think under the appointment as Attorney-General of the State. He did not appear upon the theatre of general policies, after his removal to Frankfort, for many years, being given up mainly to his profession, having been elected in the meantime frequently to the popular branch of the State Legislature, and frequently chosen its Speaker.

it is in the case of paper money. And whilst it is true that the accumulation of gold in a country would affect prices just as the accumulation of a paper currency would and does affect them, it is equally true that though the currency is wholly of paper, yet if it is not greater in amount than is required for carrying on the business of the country, prices will be as moderate and stable as if it was gold. From 1796 down to 1822 specie payments were suspended in England; but until about 1810, we believe, the currency was not increased beyond the demands of the business of the country, and there was no depreciation of the currency. At that time the amount of the currency was increased, and it immediately began to depreciate. It is, then, a fact that the prices of property and labor are regulated by the currency. If there is more currency than the business of the country requires, prices will go up, and where the currency becomes very much inflated, speculation will carry up

nton telegraphs that Grant only lost 7,500 men in the battle around Cold Harbor. The figures ought to be multiplied, we have no doubt, by at least three; but, allowing them to be correct, what a disparity is presented. The Confederates have not had 1,500 casualties since the two armies were in their present position! Never were so prodigious results produced with so little loss. The only defensives campaign of modern times which can be compared to this, is Wellington's in Portugal, in 1810. Compare the two, and the campaign of Lee will be found to be infinitely the more brilliant.--Portugal was threatened by an army of 70,000 men under Massena. Wellington met him on the frontier, and repulsed him in the battle of Basaco. After that he fell back, covered his retreat by the Cos, and leisurely entered the lines which he had been fortifying for a year to cover Lisbon, and which have become famous over the whole civilized world as the lines of Torres Vedras.--His force behind the

origin and career — which deserves more than the publicity of a legal report. It appears, from the facts set forth, that the Times was established about the year 1788 by John Walter, the grandfather of the present proprietor and manager. That in the year 1863 this gentleman transferred the entire management of this paper, together with that of a minor publication grafted in it and called the Evening Mail to John Walter, the father of the present proprietor, and that he, by his will, made in 1810, continued his son, John Walter, sole manager, in trust for his own benefit and that of the rest of the large family of which he was a member. It was to the independence of mind, the energy and ability, and the undoubted acumen of this second John Walter, that the Timesowned its tremendous rise, progress and success. The property, subject to the sole control and management of this gentleman, in which his father, by his will, placed a justifiable and firm reliance, was divided into sixteen s
