The fall of New Or leans into the hands of the enemy will have a ten dency to lessen the supply of Sugar and Molasses, and will give speculators a line opportunity to de mand any price they please for those articles. If the people would resolve to juit using sug;:r and molasses for awhile it would have the effect of leaving a huge rjuautity on the hands of heartless and unfeeling speculators who are determined to make money out of the war if the poor people starve and the government is ruined. Gknkrois Patriotism. In this day of trial and peril, it is refreshing to hear of instances of generous and disinterested patriotism like the fol lowing: A gentleman called on the Secretary of the Treasury a few day .ince and handed him a bag of gold, as a donation to the Government, upon the express condition that his name should be known to no one but the Secretary. Lpou counting the gold, it was found to amount to one thou -and dollars. Ricli nioml Empiii t r. - mt - Personal. The train from Lynchburg, yester day afternoon, brought down Mrs. Win. G. Rrown low and family, Mrs. Sue C Sawyers, (daughter of Wm. G. Erownlow) and child, and Mrs. Horace Maynard and family of East Tennessee, in charge of Lieut. Joseph II. Speed, of the liUt h Alabama Regiment. 1 hey took rooms at the Rollirigbrook Hotel last night and will leave for the North this morning, via Norfolk and Old Point, to join their respective husbands. Wo understand that though Messis Erownlow and Maynard have shown such unaccountable hostility to the South and its cause, these ladiis are firmly attached to the Confedera- cy. i itrrauii ij j.ijress, April Jem. The House which is to succeed the present one may be of a conservative democratic complexion. Vehement denunciations are uttered here against General Eurnside on account of his refusal to harbor and protect fugitive slaves. We have reports from army officers employed on the South ern coast to the effect that the slaves who come within their lines in numbers are great nuisances. The costly expeditions are failures so far as open ing a cotton trade ij concerned. 4.

Every one knew that the negro when freed would remain just where ho had been left unless removeJ coiupulsorily, and it was only intended to catch votes that could not be got otherwise. It would be hard to make Southern men believe that interference with slavery was not intended, spite of general declarations, when they had passed a resolution to induce States to emancipation; had abolished slavery in the District of Columbia; had repealed the disqualification of colored per sons for carryiii'r the mails, and had adopted an article of war prohibiting those iu the military service from delivering a fugitive slave, refusing to insert therein a provision against their harbor ing or aiding slaves to escape. There was great complaint it a single negro was restored to his master, but slaves might be taken off by the hun dred from their masters through the aid of the military, and there was no complaint, though they be taken from loyal masters I'mler the bill, any- petty magistrate, any mere military lieutenant, dition, the number sent off' during the month, and the regiments and corps to which they were sent. G. The commandants of regiments and corps will distribute the recruits among their several companies, and iu such as have not the number of companies allowed by law to a regiment, the said commandants may organize the required number of new companies, after first filling up the existing companies to the minimum numbers required by law that is to say, for each company' of infantry, G4 privates; of cavalry, GO privates; of artillery, 70 privates. T. The recruits will be apportioned among the several arms of service, according to their respec tive wants, consulting as far as practicable the preference of the men. Where a greater number offer for a particular arm than can be assigned to it, the distribution will be determined by lot; but recruits for the cavalry will only be taken from those who furnish their own horses. m. volunteers roil existing cokps. 8.
