ffiost public part of Jtroadway, where gieenbacks
are shoveled around by the bushel. The country
jieople swarm into town to j^t rid ol their luoney
and join ia the frenzied Jance a-ound the altar of
pleasure. The hotels turn away hundreds daily
Sotnetiiue^ travelers ride from hotel to hotel
hours in a despairing search fer accomiiiodatioii.
Houses arc almost impossible to procure, and
rents are enormous.
The Sto^'k PiXchangc is the scene of the wild
est cxcitement. Six se/wions of the Stock Board
are held daily, and as. those are not enough to
satisfy the passion fur gambling, two more have
been coirmenccd for evenings, at the Filth
Avenue Hotel. Fifty millions of dollars worth of
stocks are .sold daily and nightly. Half ol those
stocks are acknowledged bubbles. Fortunes are
made in an hour. I have been told of a clcrk
who ventured into the exchange with 5100, and
cleared the week with one hundred thoix.sand,
every cent of which, however, he lost in one week
more. Vanderbilt and Ocorgo Law, tho stock
kings, arc wealthier than the Astors It has
Iwome unfashionable lo cavil at a tdiargo Ask
any price and it will bt* given. A lady pays

and thinks nothing of it; atiotlu r spends
on a dinner [>arty; another pays S.’iO for a choice
seat at the opera; another pays ^lO,U'Ji* a year
rent for a three story house on Fifth Avenue
(I know these fii;urcs will hardly look large to
rfhe eyes of the Oonfederato readers, but it must
be remembered that iroid is at a premium otonly
til per cent, in New Vork city at present ) And
thus every body is taking a part in the rviturnalia
Kvcn the soldiers receive from 81UU to
bounty for re-enlisting, and contril.Utc to the
general Jidliticatioii. 'I’hia picture is not over-
irawn I doubt if the world's history ever
knew ol a similar era of popular delirium. Home
ol the newspapers are alarmed, and cry out loud
ly auain>it the outrageous extravagance of the
liour The Abolition organ, the N. V. Times,
entreats the people to go back to uitrtfucbed cx-
|ki uses and private economy, or make up their
niinds for tiaancial ruin. The fact is, almost
every one regard.^ the Federal currency as even
tually worthless, but “we have got into the scrape
and it s tx) I’tt'' to h(?lp i^ now.” “The country
iM bound to «:o the tlevil anyhow.” and “wo
mi*;ht as well have a good time while the fun
lasts.”
New ^ ork i'- n>t alone the abode of madmen.
Boston, Philadelphia, (?hicago, Cincinnati, and
\\ ashington display the same leaturcs, though to
a mor* moderate extent. But the disease, is a na
tional one, and it will be discjvered prevailing
aniong the land .«^pcculatora in the interior oi
Michigan as well as araocg the merchants and
stock gamblers of the “P^mpirc City.” Foremo«f
of those who have thriven by the war are th
Governmcut contractors. Thuusand.s have risen
from «oraparative poverty togreataffluence through
their dealings with the Washington authorftie.v
So many of this class, vulgar and illiterate, but
shrewd and unscrupulou.'i men, with their wives
and fatnilies, have prospered, that a new order
has been created in society—the ‘‘Shoddy Ari--
tocracy, po called. They spend money tvith un
bounded extravaganco, and may readily be recog
nized by^their impudent assumptions of “ton,”
aiid a ridiculous display of jewelry. 1 met one
ot these people in Montreal a few days ago, who
asi^ured me that he had made half a million of
dollars sincc the war commenced, and, added he
with a chuckle, “everything I .sell to the Govern
ment, I make one hundred per cent, on.”
It would not require the wisdom of a prophet to
foresee where tiiis will Ipad the Yankees to. It
is me of the most hopeful signs of our ultimate
triumph that our enemies arc wasting their strength

street is an Alabamian; a thick set, determined
lookingman,of ty years. lie was an infantry iiiajot
in the old army, and now commands the fir^ corps
d’armee lie is never far from Gen, Lee, who re-
licst very much upon his judgment Uy the sol
diers hf> is invariably spoken of as the “bts^t
fighter in the whole artiiy.”- While sjieaking of
entering upon the enemy’s xoil, he said to me that
although it might be fair in just retaliation to ap
ply the torch, yet that so doing would demoralire
tho army and ruin its now excellent Ji.'^cipline.
Pri vate property is, therefore, to be respected

talJ: about Texas, where he had been quartered
whtin in the old army. In the course ot his con
versation he said that Meade was 'aa honorable
man, but not so bold, perhaps, as Hooker.

oil, taken from the British Oyclopit^dia. It ie an
article exceedingly scarce and iu great demand.
Th process of manufacture is so simple that anv

H teep the seeds (Palma Chriati) for a nijrht. in
colO water, then boil for two hours, then dry
thciu in the sun, and afterwards pound or bruise
them. ^ The seeds thus bruised are then thrown
intw water and boiled till the whole oil is extracted

continue through the entire summer, but which
is certain of ultimate success, 'fheiie operations will
necessarily involve some hard fighting, but will

Famine at the Cape De Verdes—FearfjU Suite
of the Inhabitant* —A few days ago we publish
ed accounts of the sad condition of tho inhabitants
of the Cape de Verdes, and the latest accounts re
ceived in Liverpjol yesterday, verify but too sadly
the expectations which were then predicted The
islands were fast becoming depopulated, in con
sequence ot the recent drought. As an instance,
tbe condition of Brava and St. Thiaga was truly
fearful and desperate. The population of tJie two
islands amounts to about 70,000, and for this pjpa
lation there were, when the .advices left Thiaga,
only sixty bags of rice. Hut in the i.sland of
Brava the case was even worse—there was no rice
to bo had. The effects of the fearful drought
had overwhelmed both man and beist, and those
who were living were subsisting on the bark ot
the bana tree, and the flesh of animal^, vhich, in
this country, were considered as vermin. Al-
though rain had fallen, the seed sown in tho
earth were too much parched to sprout; and al
though the pastures were becoming green, there
were no oattle to feed on them—all had died for
want of tood utii water.—Idvaytool But.
