Hut better couMel prevailed. A wall sixteen feet high enclosed theia with cannon mounted atd painti.ig from the block hcusts, ready to sweep them with grape. 1 he Beast, less coble in appearance than the animal he rede, signified that he wished to speak to soma cf the pridontrj, acd struck up a conversation vvith a quad concerning the lations lurniBhed. Learning the quanti ty, Le said they were entitled to more, and should re- Cieve it. This was evidently a compromise dodge ol the old blear eyed blasphemer, and was intended to cocci-iatc-tthe j;ers, tauntd and curse3 that belaboured him on evtry side ; such as " What will you take Lr ycur Lead ?"

From the Biohmond Dispatch. The Straggli. A gentleman who has traveled of late extensively in the Conltderacy informs us that he has met everywhere a vast number of soldiers as large a nunrber, he thinks, as there are ia camp who are now absent from their duty. This agrees with the reports we receive from every quarter, and which arc confirmed by the declara tion ol ihe Secretary of War, that the larger part of lhe army are absent from their posts. A iriend of ours met lateiy with fifteen able-bodied gentlemen iu one ruup who Lad managed to obtaia trifliog coatractB, or be de tailed, or obtain some other pretext lor escaping th;ir duties in the field. In some of the counties ol Yirgin'i we hear that service in the ranki is locked upon as dis reputable, ani that the man is considered gieen wlo cannot keep his sons or pels out of the army, la other quarters we hear of the enrolling efficer permitting everybody to pass. These absentees, be it rems mb.-red, are ail within the ages prescribed by the conscript haw, ar.d. il biouTht b&CK to their duties, would 'make me forces U the Confederacy more than fufiioient to cope wkh the enemy. Under these circumstances, ia it not the height ol lolly to extend the conscript age, and com pel schoolboys and grayheaded men to take the places of stalwart deserters ? buca a course is a measure ol des-pet.-.jn, a cor Session of weakness wbk a ia not war ranted by the facts, a proclamation that the Coniederacy ia on its last Ir-gs and is compelled to play its last card. 1: Congress is not given over io that niadue3d which goes belore destruction it will re.uae to tae the " seed corn of the country, as President Davis has aptly characterized the boys of sixteen, and the intern old men of the country, tor purposes which are not d-m-isded by the good tf the country, all whose miiitary necessi ties can be suppl ed if, insteud of making new iawf, the rr !- r:s it iia is eniorceu.

The heads, chinB, spare ribs, feet, fat, and brains ofl37hog8, (bought for distribution;) in Petersburg, were put up for sale Tuesday morning. The Expre$ says : The Board ot Supplies held a meeting on Monday, and very liberally and humanely resolved to sell this offal, without regard to the condition of purchasers- rich aad poor being alike priveleged to buy. The fol lowing moderate tariff of prices was also agreed upon ; Fat, $2.75 per lb., spare-ribs, $1.75; chine alias ver tabrac or backbone, $1.-75; brains, $2 rper lb , etc The prices were not advertised, and when announced to the hungry crowd who gathered around yesterday morning, produced sundry ejaculations of surprise some of which were too shocking for ears polite. Oae brawny fellow, without the fear of God or man belcre him,, declared boldly that he would see the city in a pi.oe where ice nor oold water were never heard cf, be fore he would pay the extortionate prices demanded; and another, said in terms equally as loud and emphatic that the city must think he was a d d fool to pay $1 75 for sixteen ounces of back or any other kind of hog bone, when he could get the very choicest fowl of the barn-yard (turkeys) lor nine shillings per pound, Some few purchased, but the majority clenched their Confederates with a tighter grasp, and countermarched for their homes or the First Market. The general 11a preesiou seemed to prevail that, as all these fat epeci mens ot tbe porcine species were purchased for the bene ht ol the poor, the poor ought to have enjoyed the privi lege of purhasing every portion even the chine, leaf fat, Bkulls, spare-ribs, feet, and narratives but not at the prices fixed upon.
