THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL, COVFKDKUATK STATICS OF AMERICA. - "WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, OCT. 15, 1864. We hardly f?el like writing long editorials to day. Indeed the circamstancea that surround us are hardly fa vourable for calm discunsion. There i3 a feverish feeling abroad in the community. Some cases of Yellow Fe ver have undoubtedly occurred, and, as is always the case on the firat appearance of a disease of thia kind, these cases have been unusuaHy fatal. It is true the cases have not been mapy, nor h the state of the at mosphere favourable to tha ' spread of the disease ; etill, with the experience of 1862 before it, this commu nity is naturally sensitive, even to the verge of nervous ness; and hence, in part, the feverish feeling to which we Lave made referetce. Ia this feel ing we do not participate, save from sym pathy, 63 we do not apprehend any personal dan ger from the disease, we will not say epidemic for it has not yet assumed an epidemic form and we truat it will not. We wish we ccukl feel as devoid of anxiety in reference to the threatened attack oi the Yankees. We trust that may neither become epidemic nor fatal. Between the Ycltow Fever and the Yankees be tween the fear that one may become epidemic and the ether acute, there certainly ia a queer feeling abroad, one calculated to distract the rnicd, and to interfere with regular attention to editorial duties for the time. This mainly out of cympatbv, in ths first instance, at least, and considerably sq in the second also. We trnst that both these storm3 may paa away without doing us ma terial injury. Each day Brings ns nearer safety in both cases Yellow Jack has his limits, and as the time for killing frost-approactes.eo near, we feel strong hop: 8 that his ravagee will not only be brief in time, but restricted in limit. We trnst also that the days cf wintry weather, proverbially inhospitable on cur coast, will add largely to our defences before Farbagct.is ready to approach' them in force. Up to the bonr of writing, 4, r. m., on Thursday, we have heard of two deaths occurring during the day one at the hcspi'al, and one ia private practice. We have heard cf Eome new c-i2';S, but not in an ascer tained lorm. We can only repeat what we said yesterday. There is no occasion for panic. At this late season and wilh the present weather there is little or no danger of a recurrenco of the scenes cf 18C2, or, indeed, of any tb"g trpproachrg -en epidemic ; still we think it ad visable, ts a nr.Uer of precaution, for those who can corveniently remove their families from town to do so. Should the worst come that is should a spell of hot weather give the diVeaso a start, there will be the less danger, becsrs? the less fuel for the fire to work upon. Should thh not b: t1."1 cas", iLcre will b at least no harm done. P. S. Ud to oaik no v eases had been officially reported to It? Mnyor. A3 'here is every appearance of some frost, hovevtr l!ghr; be.o.-f morning, there is every ground for hoping t'jut the ccance of the disease pprcaa;ng to rcw cases i3 ever, tot- the present. Laxbj Journal, ilh insl. We hear of one or two death3 by Yellow Fever since cur last report, bat only on-2 new esse a negro. UDles8 we have a charge of wind to the South, with warm damp weither, we apprehend no danger from the spread of tbe disease ; but us we have no guarantee that Euch change of wind may not take place at any time, we see no reason for clinging our advice to those who can conveniently get their families out of town, and that is, to get them oat, without hurry and without panic, but simply a3 a matter cf precaution. Feaefcl. Mortality. A letter received by a gentle man here. statv s that there had occurred in Newbern within 24 hcurr-that is to say-in oae day and night, 119 deaths frcm Yellow Fever. This is fearlul, and appears almost incredible; s'ill the writer of the letter is a per fectly truthful gentleman and places full reliance in the information upon which his statement is basd. This can hardly, v;e supprs?, be taken as an average, or any thing like it. Still the average is undoubtedly high. The Yankee troops Lave been hurried eff into the woods or anywhere. CM course they have suffered. INTEHESTIXra FROM GEORGIA HOOD PROGRES SING BHEIiHAN IUTOKP FKOM HH ARVJY.&c. Lagbanqe, Oct. irth, 1SS4. The flank movcrr.cn of Gen.

"We notice it in sundry other p ipers. We are sick and tired cf this sort of thiosr. Thk present Kirgdom of Italy appears by a C2nsus recently taken to contain a population of 21,777,334 Bonis. With Venice and Rome a United Italy would contain a population cf about 20,000 000, with a ter ritory of uceq lallcd VxE.uty and fertility, with unrivalled harbors and magnificent cities, of present splendor or historic renown. Turin, Milan, Verona, Mantua, Ve nice, Bjlogce; Rome. Naples, Genoa, Florence, Paler mo, Leghorn, Pisa, Ferrara, Como, and how many others we know not, bring up before the mind aa array of celebrated places and great actions that no other country can rival. And this not s:mply in the past There are very many of these cities still beautiful and populous. Milan, among the most ancient of cities, is Btill splendid and presperocs. Turin, the capital ot Sardinia, the nucleus of the new Kingd:m, comoara tively mod.ra, is a handsome city. Florence is thj phasantest town in Vn rorld. Naples is as populous as Berlin, and has a Eire inferior only to Constantino ple, if indeed it be inferior even to that. Venice even in its decay is the moat inteisting of cities, and Rome lias tne granaes. memories or all tbe world. Sare'iv if ambition can bz regarded ts excusable, some ej:cuse may be made for the Prince who has sought to unite this gloriou? land under his - , s ptre, with the hope of restoring its past power and prosperity. The visit of the President to the Southwest seems to have bad the effect of stirring up mcch enthusiasm, and of swelling the rank3 cf IIocd's army by the return of many stragglers to their commandj.

Erlanger being jost divorced from Mile Odeile Lefitte (Charles Ltfitte'a dLUghter.) and the divorcd lady being about to enter the bonds of matrimofiy with the causa of the divorce, makes the event of the highest order of picturesque interest. One of those curicus cir cumstances which can never happen but in France, is recorded of the incident which led to the divorce. The guilty party being pursued by the tflended hus band was, of coarse, struck with terror, hut philosophy and contempt bad done much to mitigate the prisoner's wrath, and so, instead of M chastising the insolence" ac cording to the fashion observed in novels, he qiietly placed his pocket book into the rnds of tbe fogiHve, exclaiming, Ah mat heuxeux !

Squalid Poverty in tke Novtli-.IXoTr the Poor JLIvs In Hew York. - The New York Evening Post calls attention to the increased mortality in that city, and the causes that produce it. One fertile cause of disease and death is the overcrowded condition of the population, nearly three quarters of a million of whom, it ia estimated, live in miserable, dirty tenerm nt houses, where cleanli ness atd comfort are utterly impossible. Speaking of the filth of these tenement houses, the Post says : The inmates throw their eltrps and refuse matter into the streets, and not less th n 2,500 loads are carried away daily. Besides this perpetual nuisance, there are two hundred and fifty slaughter houses ia the densely populated sections of the city, from which fecal matter finds it way along the gutters to the sewers. Tho stench emanating from these establishments render many houses in their neighborhood uninhabitable. Added to these abominations are numerous fat boiling, hide and effil establishments, whose foetid exhalations infect the atmosphere. With such a catalogue of life-destroying agenciep, is it a wonder that pestileace does not ewetip cfl the population by thousands. The Post gives the following startling figures relative to the classification of the population, taken from sta tistics published five years ago ; siaca which time the tenement evil has gone on increasing ? Of 115,986 families residing'in New York city, only 15,990 are able to enjoy the luxury of an Independent home, 14,8C2 other families live in comparative com fort, two in a house, 4.416 buildings contain three fami lies each, and yet do not come under the head of tene - ments ; and tbe 11,995 dwelling nouses wnicn remain are the homes of 72.386 families, being an average of seven families, or thirty-five souls in each house 1 But this is only an average. In the Eleventh ward, lid hou ses (houses built on the backs of deep lots, and separa ted onlv by a narrow and necessarily dark and Qltty court from the front houses, which are also Vbarracka") contain 1,653 families, or nearly 15 families, or 70 souls each : 24 others contain 407 families, being an average of 80 souls to each ; and ia another ward 4 2 such hou ses contain no less than 19 families, or 9o souls to each. This sounds shocking. But this is Dy no means the worst. There are five hundred and eighty tenement honsas in New York which contain by actnal count, 10,933 familes, or about 86 persons each ; 193 others which accomodate 191 persons each; 71 others, which cover 140 each; and, fi nally, 29 these must be the most profitable which bave a total population of no less than 5,419 souls, or 187 to each house. The part of Fifth Avenue which holds the chief part of the wealth and fashion cf New York has an extent of about two mile3, or counting both sides of the street, four miles. These fjur miles of stately palaces are occupied by 400 families; while a single block of tenement houses not two hundred yards out of Fifth avenue, contains no less than 700 familivs, or 3,500 souls. Seven such blocks, Mr. Ilalliday per tinently remarked, would contain more people than the city of Hartford, which covers an area of several miifs eq-are. A tenement house is thus described by the Posf : It ia commonly a structure of rough brick standing upon a lot twenty five by a hundred feet ; it is from four to six stories high, and is so divided internally as to contain foui families on each floor sach family eat ing, drinking, sleeping, cooking, washing and fighting in a room eight feet by ten, and a bed room six by ten; unless, indeed which very frequently happens, eays Mr. Hallid the family renting thesa two rooms take another family to board, or sub-leta one room to one or even two other families. One of the largest of these barracks has apartments for one hundred and twenty six families. It stands on a lot of fifty by two hun dred and fifty feet, is entered at the sides from alleys eight feet wide, and by reason of the vicinity of another barrack of equal height, the rooms are so darkeoed tb on a cloudy day it is impossible to read or sew in them without artificial light. It has not one room ucn can in any way be thoroughly ventillated. Death of Col. W. M. Barbour. We regret to learn from a gentleman, who has jost received a letter from Col. R. V . Cowan, that tbe gallant and noble hearted Uol. Wm. M. Barbour, of the 37th N. C. Re giment, and a citizen of YVilkeBboro', has died from the effects of a wound received in one of the recent fights near Petersburg. We deeply sympathize with his cf- flicted family and relatives. Iredell Express. Col.Wm. M. Barbour was from Wilkes county, and a lawyer by profession. In 1861 he enlisted a compa ny of 12 months troop?, which was placed in the 37th Regiment, and at the organization of said Regiment, Charles C. hee was elected Uolonel ot the regiment, and Capt. Barbcur was elected Lt. Colonel. On the re-enlistment of the regiment for three years or the war, prior to the passage of the Conscript Act, he was re elected to the same position. On the death of Col. .Lee at Malvern llill, Lt. Col. Barbour was made Col., and in every way proved him self worthy of his gallant predecessor and the noble 37th. He returned from captivity a few weeka ogo, and before the order was issued announcing his ex change he had met his fate. His death will be univer sally lamented. Raleigh Conservative. The Forrkst Raid. We believe from information received it may now be Btated that the expedition un der Gen. Forrest, having accomplished its purposes, had reached a place of safety, bringing with it all the traits ot its work, bo far as prisoners, hcrses and mules, munitions of war, etc., were concerned. If we are correct, so nicely were previous arrangements made that a time was fixed for the meeting of transpcr'a tion and the forces at a certain point, and everything worked to a charm. There was no. bitch whatever, in either the calculations of the commander as to what be would be able to accomplish, or the length ot time that would be required. This is practical military skill, if it is net scientific. So far as the communications of the Federal army with its bases above Chattanooga are concerned, tt ey must be useless for some time. This was the primary object of the movement, no doubt ; but we conceive it" bad another, which was to also eo distract the attention cf the entmy from tbe neighborhood of General Wheeler's forces, which had been scattered somewhat, as to facilitate their movement south of the Tennessee. At all events, both expeditions are now beyond the reach of any force the enemy may have gathered to employ sgainst them. Oar own people will be astonished, and the enemy mortified, to learn the emallness of the force that went out with Gen. Forrest. It may not be stated fjr reasons that will be appreciated, but everybody will be satisfied to know it was sufficient for its mission. This our foiled loes will admit. Appeal. f Molasses. Ihs new crop of Sorghum han been sai ling here at $10 per gallon by the barrel. It is ex pected that it will fall lower, perhaps to $5. It huz i 3oId at Charlotte for $5 ; at Columbus, Ga., at $3 05. The Columbus Eoqairer says that a vast quantity haa been made in Goorgia. " We hesr of farmers, it adds, who nCver made more than from three to five bales of cotton, who will make this year from twenty to twenty five barrels of syrup, and whose families cannot con sume more than one or two barrels cf it. There is hardly a farmer or planter but will have more or less of it to sell." The Montgomery, Ala., Mail gaya that a good deal of the crop in that section has alresdy soured and spoil ed in consequence of its being improperly boiled, and adds, K)ar best information advises that the cane juice should be boiled vp to the point of burning, and just before burning, taken off the fire. We have eaten By rup thus prepared, a year old, aa good aa could be de sired, and certainly what haa been done can be again." Ufa In Kentucky. Gen. Paine, tbe new Yankee commander appearr to be a tyrant and despot cf-the moat unadultered order. I Shortly after bis arrival at bis field of operations, ba was waitel upon by sever deleationa of citizens, who re presented the various interests in that section. Accord ing to a letter in the Chicago Tnbune, a very bitter abolition sheet, the General heard what they bad to say and then replied to them fh substance a9 follows : "Gentlemen, it' is a notorious fct that this district ia intensely disloyal. It haa caused more trouble to the Government than all your tobacco, cotton, banks and buiine&s is worth. I be question is not how much mon ey you can make this year.

"This is now the fourth year of the war, and you re bels bave not learned the grind, solemn truth, that th-. life and peace of this great nation are wor h more than the life or peace of an individual.

The New York Tribune, in the interest of Lincoln, charges and promises the documents to prove that McClellan is a coward and took refuge in an iron ciaa gunboat while his army was desperately engaged at Malvern Hill. This is sufficiently diszusticg. We think the Lincoln- ites overshot the mark. " This sort of warfare helps the intended victim. Frost. We had a heavy frost on Monday morning last.

King, who represented himself aa the bearer of a message from Gen. anerman, canea upon nim.uuu stAtpd in enrwtanee that Gen. Sherman had requested bira to say to the Governor, that be would be pleased to receive a visit from him and other distinguished Georgians, with a view to a conference upon the state of the country, and the settlement of cur difficulties that he would irive the Governor a passport through bis lines with an escort, if desired, to go and return at such time as might be agreeable to him, that be (ien, Shermani reroenizad him ( Governor Brown) as Gover nnr nf thp urhnift'suatp. and aa over an hundred miles of the territorv of tbe Sateis now behind his lines,, be (Gen. S ) wou'd allow the Governor to go and visit his people in the rear if he desired to lock after their con dition, and return at hte pleasure ; that be would re ceive him and the other diitiguished Georgians at his headqaarters and treat them with the respect and Con spiration due their Dositiois during tbe conference which he invited that he did not wish to be compelled to overran and dtaolate more of the territory of tbe State. Sec. After bearing the statements of Mr. King, the Gov ernor replied : Please make to Gen. Sherman an acknowledgement of my obligation for the personal courtesies which ycu say he proposes to extend to me. out as ne is oniy a General commanding an armv in tbe field, and I the Governor of a State, neither the Constitution of his country nor of my own, confers upon us any power to necrctiate a treaty of peace, we probaoiy now out rew sentiments in common, but if we should agree in every particular; we would have power to bind no one by any compact w5 might make. As our interview could therefore reenlt in nothing practical, I must decline the invitation. While tbe portion of the State now in the rear of Gen. Sherman s army is held by Lim, and tbe execution of the laws of the State suspended by armed force, I know of no service which I could render to the people of that : section by a personal visit. If I could better their condition or mitigate their storings, I wculd, on their account, cheerfully go at tbe expense of any inconvenience or personal sacrince which tbe trip migbt cost me. To the remark that General Sherman does not wish to be compelled to overrun and desolate more of the territory cl Georgia, I reply that no cmpnlsion rests upon h:m to attempt this, unless it be the cruel orders of his government. If he makes the effort, he will find much greater difficulties io tbe way 0 his advance for the next hundred miles than those encountered during bis march from Dalton to Atlanta. Georgia may pos sibly be overrun, ba; can never be subjugated, and her people will never treat with a conqueror upon her soil. As a sovereign fc tate, she bad the undoubted right to dissolve ber connection with the government of the United States, when the compact bad been violated by tbe other States of the Confederacy, and to form a new compact, which she La3 done. She is as sovereign to day at she was the day ehe s ceded from the old Union, and has the sime power, by a Convention of her peo- pi?, which ehe then had to resume all delegated powers, and all tbe attributes of sovoreignty, and then to de clace war, negotiate treaties of peace, and do all other acts which a sovereign State may do. While this power rests in ber people, who are the original source of all sovereign'y, her Constitution fcrmtd by tbem, has conferred no such power apon her Governor. The fact must not be overlooked, however, that while Georgia posse?aes tbe sovere gn power to act separately, ber faith, which never has, and I trust never will be violated, is phdged by-strong implication to her Sou hern sisters, that she will not txercisj this power without consent on their part, and concert of action with them. In league with ber Southern sister States, she entered into this contest with full know ledge of all tbe responsibilities which atteched to tbe act ; and come weal or woe, tbe will never withdraw 'horn it in dishonor. However urn qual may be the pro portion cf Buffering or sacrihce which ber people may have to endure, she will never make separate terms with tbe enemy which may free her territory frm invasion and leave her Confederates in the lurch. Whatever may be the opinion of her people as to the itiju3tiee done her by the Confederate administration she will triumph with her Confederate sisters, or she will sink with them in one common ruin. The intelligent peo ple of Georgia, already understand, and oar' enemy will soon learn, that the independent expression of con demnation of the errors, to use no stronger terra, of the administration, is one thing, and disloyalty to our sa cred cause is another, and quite a different thing. While tt e people of Georgia tnink for themselves and will not blindly applaud tbe mismanagement of our ru lers, they will never violate principle f )t expediency, nor expect dishonor for reward. The foundations of our government and the liberties of the people, rest upon the sovereignty of the States as their ch ef corner stone. Destroy tbe sovereignty of the States, and the whole fabric falls to the ground, and centralized power with military despotism, takes the place of conetitutional liberty. When the passions of tbe people North and South bave sufficiently Bub&iJed, we may make peace by ne gotiation, but never by the sword. If Mr. Lincoln would bave peace and prosperity re established upon a firm basis, let him S'op the war, and planting himself upon the principles of tbe Declaration of Iodependeoce of 1776, let him recognize the sov ereignty of the States, and agree to leave each sov ereign State to determine for hersel', by a Conventioa of ber people, whose delegates shall be fairly chosen by the legal voters of the State, without military interfer. ence or intimidation, what shall be her future cdhnecg tion whether she will remain in, or if out, return to the old Union, or adhere to the prcsent'league. There may be doubts whether Kentucky, Missouri, and probably other States desire to continue their con nection with the United States or to east their lot with the Confederate States. .The ocly just mode of solving these doubts, is the one above indicated. If tbesa or any oher of the Southern States should, in solemn Convention, decide to go with the United States, neither the Confederate government, nor the other Sta'es can object. We cannot govern Kentucky for instance against ber will, unless we can subjugate her. This, we bave no power to do with the Northern States at ber back ; and if we had the power, we have no right to coerce a sovereign State into a connection which is not of her own choice. If this were done, we mast, in future, govern her people by the bayonet, which would convert our republicanism into the worst species of miirary d-spotism. So it must be with tbe North it Mr. Lincoln should succeed in hi3 policy of conquering as. If we were overrun and for a time subdued, our ter ritory is so vast in extent, and our population so large, that it would take a regular army of two hundred thou sand men to govern and hold us in subjugation. Tbe support of such an army would not only continue the country in bankruptcy, but in the bands of tbe Hixecu tive it would soon be used to subve rt even tbe form of the government and change it from a republic to a monarchy. Thus to destroy our liberties must cost tbe Northern people their own ; and the republicanism of America must in future be a reproach and a by-word among ail nations. If President Lincoln and President Davis will agree to stop tbe war, and transfer the settlement of the is sues from tbe battle-neli to the ballot box, Ieavingjeach sovereign State to determine for herself what shall be her future connection, and who her future allies, tbe present devastation, bloodshed and c image shall cease, and peace and prosperity will be restored to tbe whole country. On the other hand, 11 this is not done, the war will last for years to come, till both sides are exhausted and overwhelmed with debt anci taxation, when it may de generate into a guerrilla strife, the end of which may not be seen by tbe present generation, and the hate en gendered by which will last through many fature gen erations. Neither Gen. Sherman nor I can control this, bow- ever much we may deplore it. If those on both sides wno nave tbe constitutional power of negotiation, from obstinacy or ambition, re fuse to recognize the sovereignty of the States, and to leave the settlement of the question to the States when they cannot themselves agree, and insist on continual effusion of blood to gratify their caprice, all the States North and South in tbeir sovereign capacity may then be iustifiable in taking the matter into their own hands eettUog it &? fOTOGigria in tbeir OWfl Ir&J. From the London Times, Sept. 5. Ametlcan Btila. The singular prolixity of American conflicts proba bly expresses something beyodd a mere parity of mili tary force. It is, perhaps, a result of tbe tactics em ployed. Four greet armies, undtr as many chosen generals, have now been in close contact for weeks, and even months together, without any achievement which cau be regarded as decisive. The fighting has been desperate ; but though each particular batUe may bring a iepulse to one side or the other, there is nothing like absolute discomfiture. We are applying these remarks, not to the actual march cf Grant upou Richmond, or of Sherman upon Atlanta, but to tbe operations which have been reported sines each of these commanders closed bodily with his antagonist and commenced tbe work on which he had set out. Ia neither case dees it appear that the proceedings resemble those of a siege. Grant is not formally besieging even Petersburg, macb less Richmond, nor can Sherman effect anything like a regular investment of 'Atlant i. From the latter quar ter, indeed, the only authentic intelligence represents Hood as being largely reinforced a sufficient proof that his communications are completely open. If we look, however, a little more closely al iba accounts re ceived, we snail discover a circumstance which will explain the position of affairs. The trutb is that both in Virginia aud Georgia both armies are intrenched alike. It is not that Grant and Sherman keep tbe field while Lee and Hood are shut up in their lines, for the Federals have thrown up earthworks es well as the Confederates. As soon as Grunt arrived at a point where he could make no more" flank movements," but musi either stand or go, be constructed a little Richmond of his own and wus presently fcuad so strongly intrenched thi.t Lee declined the cost of assaulting Dim in bis petition. Exactly the tamo thing took pkcj at Atlanta. S Her man marched atu r Jon us ton in resolute pursuit until be reached the city he wished to capture, when be im mediately threw up fieidworks and enscoused himself in his lines. The result is that in Georgia us well as Virginia the main body of each army holds a secure posisition, and they only bght each other, aa it were by sorties. 1 his is probably one consequence ot the improve ments in firearms, lireeob loaders and eirt'j works ap pear to lerai tbe strongest combination of cllensiVu and defensive power, and it is somewhut remarkable that tbe result is. directly opposed to tue theories f jrmerly prevailing. It was a maxim of military science: tfca. earthworks could' never stop good infantry ; the mean ing being that tbe slope at wmch sUch works were ne cessarily constructed c.uld always be ascended by sol diers brave enough to faCi the fire of the defenders. -r But it now seems that the deadlinesj at,d rapidity ol tbe fire mainiaiiitd by tbe breecb-foading rifles is more than can be endured. Grant's heaviest leases have been encountered in tna attempts to storm the earthworks ot the CoLlciieraies, and Lee foresaw a similar danger so clearly that he refused to run the risk of it, and lol'i Grant undisturbed withiu hid lines. Tnat tnia is the true history of affairs 13 phtin from tbe incident report ed of tbe battle ot Cold Harbor that the attack lasted scarcely ten minutes. It was much the s ime after the explosion ef the inine at Petersburg. A q iarter cf un hour cf sued afi.e us good troops well araied can now maintain is enough to stretcu whole divisions on the- ground. Grant, in one of bin assaults on-the Confed erate lines, must have lost a thousand men a minute. There was nothing like this iu former timet, though our own attack upon New Origans did foreshadow these modern tactics to some extent. Ia fact, the Ameri cans, iu their civd war, appear to ha.ve beta perfeC-iug tbe original tactics ot mer countrymen. Ir.ey wert the first people to discern the value of scientific mus ketry aided by dcteiierve work3, and they have now carri:d betu principles D aa extent never known be fore. It mu3t cot be forgotten that thcuih fortification? enter thus iarge'y into the mcbineiy of this desperate war, they mu3t in seme instances have been extempor ized. America was the one country in the whole worid without strong places and fortifaed towns except on the sea coast. Lven Richmond and W ashinetou bave been fortified since the war began, and probably we may learn by and by something more ot a system which lodleben introduced, but wbica Beauregard and his colleagues have developed. We are assured that Rich mond as open a town four years ogo as lirenilbrd or Uroydon is now one of the strongest places ia the world. We know that Vicksburg, hastily encircled with defensive works, resisted every hostile attack, and yielded oniy to lamme. ine very mau wuo tooK it cannot succeed, though still at the head of a Jarge force, in taking the little country town of Petersburg. Ic is not easy to see the design cf Grant's late operations, but they appear to be directed against the commuaici- tions of Petersburg, with the hope of establishing such a blockade of that town as may possibly iu the end lead to its surrender, aud nus perhaps open one of the roads to Richmond. The defences themseives are too strong even for the reckless obstinacy of the Northern com mander ; and if he cannot effect hia purpose indirectly ne musi give 11 up aitogetncr. let ttiese lortincations had never been beard of till the other day, when the little place all of a sudden was found to be an Antwerp or a Mantua in strength. 1 hese remarks will help to explain the succes3lul re- sistance of the South against an enemy so superior in 1 uumbers and resources. Without doubt, the chief credit is due to the energy and courage of the Southern population ; but the Confederate engineeri'havs shown that true mastery of sciecce which cousists in turning actual circumstances to immediate account. Begin ning with old-la8hioued muskets, the Southerners ad vanced to breeca loaders as rapidly as their means would permit, and then economiz.d their strength by the adoption of fortifications at every poiat. Giaat finds himself io an extemporized qaadi Lateral. Which ever way he turns the defences ot the enemy are too strong for him, and so, in despair cf doing anything else, he attempts to reduce him to surrender by break ing up the railroadj. This, however, is a work of time1, and the rebult to which it might lead would be distant still, whereas there is no longer oy time to spare, ao Jong aud so skillfully nave the uoakderates maintained their defence that the issue ot the str:fj will now probably be dsierrcjhed by the political quarrels 01 tneir uesauaa'8. Jt i3 strange that the limes should have fallen into such an odd mistake as that aoout breech-loaders. We doubt if any considerable portion cf the infantry cf either army have breech-leaden. The only breech loaders are carbines in tbe hands of cavalry. A COURT BALL AT Til K TtJILlCUl feTS. Bentley's Miscellany ha3 the following tketch oi the ruileries oq tha night of a court bail. We quote : Toe Tuilleries lock very lniposiog ut a dist&LC? on the night of a court ball. The whole enormous hfride is lit up from top to bottom, and on tho Place da Ca rousal tbeie is euch a thiong of carriages that it 13 diffi cult to comprehend how the equipages will be able to set down. For all that, the most acmirable crder ore- vails, and is most visible at the period of the guests de parting. The inner court of the Tuileries, la cour d'honaeur, is tru'y splendid. Io the place of the gas lamps, yoused everywhere the imperial N, or tha im perial crown in a Jaa:el wreath, blazing with hht, a&d as this illumination is repeated on a'.! ciides at least two hur.u.ed ".m s, lt is easy to form an idea of the splendor aud brightness of tLc court yard, which is so large ttat ten thousand men can maccoivre in it conveniently. Tha principal stair-case iaside tbe chauteu also pro duces a grand impression. From top to bottom on every step there stand alternately a twelve armed can delabrum and a Ceut Garde, en gcande tenue ; there is a dark red carpet on the white marble steps, and high above it is a gigantic chandelier, gleaming like a sun I be sight is really marvelous. 1 he reception takes place in the Salle des Marechaux, and the ball in the Gallerieda JJ lane. A portion of the Emperor's private apartments is also used on the occasion of the court balls, and supper is served in the Pavillian de Alarsan. At the iatjer ouly five hundred guests, chiefly ladies, Bit down with their Majesties ; the remainder are spread over various large rooms, where boasts are erected, of couree, leaving nothing to be desired. Supper is served at tables hold ing four, eight, or twelve persons, and, as about four hundred footmen ere employed in the palace onj euch occasions, the attendance is befittiog the exalted com pany. As the rule, the Emperor opens tbe ball with a ladv; usually roe wild of an ambassador. The Empress haa not danced since the death of i.er sister, the Dach- essof Alba; still she goes to the ball-room, where a special dais is erected lor her. Here she remains, 8Uf- rouorJed by her ladies, atjd this is the moment when tte Grand Chamberlain presents to her distinguished for eigners. 1 be toilata to be seen on tbe dais at such a moment are truly ne plus ultra of elegance and wealth. It is impossible to say how inaDy millions worth of jew els and precious stones are collected at this small spot. - Tne costume of tbe impress, inouga not always the costliest, (Frau von Botbschild, ior instance, sometimes wears a gpen'scer completely cavered with brilliants,) is the most ussteful. iS othing more beautiful could be imagined, and a cry of admiration bursts from a thousand lips, ' XhQ Empreeuieyer remalc3 loog, but, retires very quietly before midnight. The illumination then disappears from the south side of tbe palace hut the ball goes on uninterruptedly till about day break Tbe Emperor umally remains longer. But the loDncr tbe bull lasts, tbe mote guests ficd their way to the Pavilian do Maisan, where play rouina ate, and v,hr ' many an old general goes cn poiting till mar six in Ve morning. The direct .expets-sol each a court ba'' of which four are given annually, ore said to G,-ure in the Civil list at 210.COO francs; but the indirect ex penses of tbe guetta invited, and especially the lnitr, may easily exceed ten times that amount. Hene?, the imperial court balls are most welcome to the rjiH:nu silk mercers, aud jewe'm.
