THB YVILMINUION JOURNAL. CON tuUKRATK STATES OF AMERICA. WILMINGTON, N. THURSDAY, NpV. 24, 1861. - THJSars nd Cutld. Sfon la the jollj old time for running the biookade. No moon no stars no anything. "In fact we thick it is a little too dark. And there be fcg banks off the coast, which occasionally clear off in the day time- We don't know what has coiae cf tho fleet the Yan kee fleet that is or was coming here. By the way, an officer cf a vessel icat came in on Sunday morning, told us that among the Yankee vessels off New Inlet he gaw tnretted Monitor. If he was not mistaken, th; thing was certainly queer, if not ominpcs, since Moni tors are the last of all uessels to be employed on block ading service. If it was a Monitor, and was not cn blockado service, as we presume it wa3 not what was it on ? What, brought it hero ? What was it af ter? We shall see what we e'aall see. We may be nrls taken, but the impreseicn grows upon us that the move ments of the Yacaee nvy and transports have refer ence to the operations cf la rant and Sheeman. Sher man wants to cut his way to the Atlantic and Portsr is to co-operate with him in his effort to reach and es tablish a base on the seaboard. Grant also may de mand co-operation in a grand attempt upon Richmond. These, however, are only sofculutions. IfaYanLee flset sailed from Beaufort Harbor, X.

It appears quite pcesibld that Sherman ia aiming at Milledgeville, tha capltul of the Stata of Georgia, rath er than at MacDn, or that hia primary objsct is to s-rike the Railroad and cut tff comaiuriication. Again, it i hinted that his objective point is Savannah : thai the enemy under cover of trace has-mads the. desired recoa noiisances, and secured all the neisssary information to guide him in attack upon Savccnab, so as to create a diversion in favcr of Sosrmax, and, if succeasfu', co operate with him by landing a fores to advance fi'cm the coast, operating in the rear of Hardee. This is fossibU j but the plain t!iing before anybody is that Shbrmax aim3 at cur vast laboratories, po S7d-r niiha and foundries at Aurru3ta. That holds cut a dt.fiaitc reward. It 13 ibliy to say that Mr. Davis' Mscdu epeech pointed that cut to the cccmy.

If we, here, published all abcut our national eatatlishroenls at Augusta, or our fortifications at Wilmirgtoa, Cba'.ksto; Savaa cah, or elsewhere, there would be a terrible out cry, yet a newspaper correspondent cr military tourist from abroad ia almost certain to gain access to a !1 cut works, and equally as certain to forward a detailed ac count by mail to Europe, which luly appears in the London limes, Herald cr Post, or samctime?, pithcugh eeldom, in som3 o? the lending Provincial papers.

It is plain his ocfy obj?ct can be the making ot a certain ficd eecure base. He must move fast and obtain his object speedily, or be is lost, unless the whole State of Georgia are cowards and paltrooos. In a state of war we must hot all expect to escape unscathed. .. Where the enemy marches he will "laave his work of destr ac tion. Sherman has cot loose from his base Georgians must see that he makes no other. - Forrest having destroyed his stores at Johcsonville, and cut his communication north, this movement has been forced upon him ; and if our local and reserve force can hold him in check, impede his progress, burn and destroy in advance of bis columns, long era be reach es bis objective point (the base he looks to) hi3 ammu nition will be exhausted, his horses starved, and hia ar my an easy prey to fresh and veteran troops. Sherman had many weary miles to march in obtain icg his object. It is absurdity to talk about his making a winter campaign with no communication with his Government. How long will the ammunition he carries test him ? He is retreating, simply retriating. He will destroy as he goes, but be makes it none the less so. J fcia.movement is the modern Anabasis, and like the Greek of old, he has only one objct at heart, and that i3, to reach the sea ; and as 5nophon's weary and long fcfferirg ten thousand sent up shout after shout. "I'hallatta! Iballatta V so Sherman will gladly cry, The sea ! The seal - t THE BITUATIOW. Some uneasiness and unnecessary alarm has been oc casioned by the many wild rumors in circulation for the peat two days, the majority of which grew oat of the statement contained in the Chicago Tribune of the 9 th, to the eficct that Sherman was advancing into the inte rior of Georgia -with five ermy corps. Bat after a careful survey of the togography of the country lying before him, the diitance he mast travel before he can strike any vital part, and the difficulties that naturally environ an incuraive army of the kind, we apprehend no p.erious result from the movement. Tb3 distance from Atlanta to Augusta is 171 miles by railroad ; from Atlanta to Macon 101 miles ; and from Atlanta to Savannah 291 miles, and as we stated yesterday, no army of 25,000 men, and we have good aufLctity for stating Soerman has no more than this number of tfTo-jtive men, can move more than tea h&iiles a day at the farthest, and yery frequently not go tcr. According to thia calculation it 4 would require 8?re:iteen days to reuch Augusta, or ten to reach Macon, and twenty-nine to reach Savannah, allowing no obstruction in his march. Shou.d it be hie purpose to embrace either of these poicta iu his present movement, prompt vigilance on the part cf our authorities in making the proper dis irib j ion of. cur firecs, of which we have a euffi.-ient i. umber iu striking d stance, can in leas than ten days oO obstruct his mdrch aa to distroy the army. We do rot believe, however, it is his purpose to visit either of theii plac?.", but that ha has been driven io hia pres-nt muVtuietit by force of circumstances, a a glance at the position of the two armies for the last wttha Will explain.

The petitioner claims to be exempt from military service m the army of the Confederate States upon the grcund thr.t he ia a policeman ef the City o' Raleigh. His claim i3 resisted in the return of the defendant up on the allegation that the petitioner is not a poiiceman, but only a contractor to Keep the City pumpa in order, The testimony of the Mayor cf the eity, together wit! as3rn' bim th3 charge of keeping the pumps in repair. Up on the facts thn3 appearing from the pleadiogs and proofs the question arises whether the petitioner is en titled to exemption from conscription. This is a ques tion of law, and it is our duty now to proceed to its consideration. It ia cow generally, if not universally, cor ceded 'that the Confederate Ccngress have no power to order the conscription cf State officers. The principle i? well ex pressed by the Supreme Court or Appeals in Virginia, in the opinion given in the case of Burroughs va. Pay ton; and we express our full occurrence in it. "The State governments are an essential part of our political system ; for upon the sepera-e atd independent sover eignty or the states the foundation ot our confederation re-s's. A 1 pow:rs not delegated to the Confederate Stages by the Constitution, nor prohibited to it by the states, are r-served to the states respectively or to the p ople thereof; and the Confederate States guarantee to each Stare a republican form of government. " It is absurd to suppose that the government of the Confederate States can rightfully destroy tbe States which created it ; and all tbe powers conferred on it must be understood to have been given with the iimita tiou that in executing them, nothing shall be done to interfere with tbe independent exercise of its sovereign power by each State. Congress can have no right , th-rtiore, to deprive a State of the services of any offi. cr necisp&ry to the action of its government. And tbe ."s'ateiiayif iS the sole judge as to the officers tbat are uxceesary icr that purpoae." We arc not aware that the Confederate Congress has ever set np u claim to the exercise of any power incon sistent wiih this fundamental principle of State sover eignty. Oj thj contrary, in all the acta whica it haB pss d granting exemptions from conscription, it has ex pieelj mention d, in some form or other, State offieers a biing entitled to exemption. Tbua the act ot April 21st, 1862. "ail judicial and executive officers of State Kovferumvnts" are exempted. In tue act of the 11 th Oct 1862, which repeals that of April, fc officerp, judicial aud executive, ot State Governments " are again de ck red to Jjcj exemp-ed. The aet of May the 1st, 1863. prcvidca tbat in addition to the State offiosra exemnted by the act of Oct. llth, 1862, "there ehaU be exea.pt- all State officers whom the Government of any State the olaer proola taien aud nllec in the cause, satisfy ua tLat tho petitioner i3 one of the city police, though in addition to hi3 clc' as such, he has had assigned to may claim to have exempted for the due admistration of the Govern m?nt and hws tU reof : but this exemption shall not cootintie in any Scate nfter the adjournment of the cfxt n-gular ki.-o o; its "r-giPla'nrty unless Bach Legislature sSall by !.w exempt them Torn military du'y io the ptoviaiot, aroiv of the Confederate' States." It is unnecessary to consider the (fleet of any of these exemptions acs because t.py are all repealed by the act of Feb. 17th, 1864, and Sta'e officers are exempted in the following terms : I h members of the several State Legislitures aod euch oL-t-r State officers aa the GoverooM of the lesi.ective States may certify to be nt cessary for th- proper administration of the govern ment. " If the peti ioLer be a State officer, and had he produced aLy such certificate in hi A behalf from the Gov r nor of this S-te, we must prcsama that the Confederate officers would have ad mitted it and have xempted hirn accordingly. But he has failed to produce any such certificates ; and yet he insists, nevertheless, hat right to exemption is es tablished by the ac ion of pur Genera! Assembly. That body, by an act ratified on the 14th day ot De cember, 18G3, raeutions several officials as "necessary to carry on the operations of the State government," for whom claims bad b en mide and cb'ained under the &ct of Congress of May, 1863, and then claims and ex empts them from conscription. Among the officials thus claimed to be ex- mpt are the 'M.ayor and p- lice of Raleigh." Sje Lws of Extra Session iu December, 1863, cb. 14 Thesime body at its extra setsion in May, 1864, by a resolution ratified the 18 h day of the same month "demands" the exemption of the same, to getner with some othrrf, prefacing it with a preamble declaring that "fearless and free discharge of the officers of the Sta e is essential lothe preservation of its sovtr dgnty," and 'hat "Congress has no power to conscript State officer i." Has the legislature of a State the right "to demand" these exempt h us ? it is very decidedly oar opinion that it has, and that it has r. to the exclusion of every other department of the State govemmmt. It is clear, be yeud ail question, that wiihia tne liavits of the written Constitution, which the people of the State have impos ed upon the government, the legislative power ia the supreme poer ia the Stte. Aaonsr, its vast powers of lceisiatior. which are uolimited and murestricted ex c?ptby the C'ODstitu'ioa, is that of ascertaining what efficers, iu addition to those specified in the Constitu tion, are necessary for the efficient management of the tfiiirs of the State aud shea of appointing the officers and prescribrg thtir duiirs. The power of tho, other two great departments of Government are very differ ent, the j adicury aigued the power of expounding the couaiiiu:ional lawa, while the executive has solely the p jwer to enforce iheir faithful execution. From thia it stems to ua to follow as a logical scqueoce, that when it is shown that eaca State ia the sole jadga as to the cffi e. s that ure necess-iry to "the action of its gov ernment, its Legislature, and i's Legis'ature alone, is the organ b which is judgment is to be ascertained and madekuown. . It may well bs that the Legislature can select and appoiat the Governor as its agent to certi fy its decision, but we are unable to fijd amocg the powers given to tt-.e Confederate Government any authority to confer up a the Governor of the State the powtr to dechi-3, auJ then to car ify his decision as to who are nectS3;ry S a e officers. I'ne coacluaioa to which this coui8e of reasoning leada ua is, that the petitioner is enti'ltd to his discharge, provided he is such an oci?cr a3 tco L g'diiture nas power to exempt us being cects ary iu the admiuistratioD.cf the laws of the Sttte. Pu lice are deSued by Weosier to be "a body of civil j.ffici-rs, especially in cities, for enforcing tbe law." 4Jtie8 and towns are well Known parti?, and vt-y saiportant. parts of tbe organizitioh ol Sttes ; heuca 'fct- enforcement ol tbe laws, wiihin their charter ed iimiia must b a tat;er of great importance to the weal of trie b ate. itself, ii f. liowsas a neceaaary cO ist qaence th-it 'he police of all thu larger towns, and especially of tne cjp:tai'of a State -must be deemad ess nt al ic the luil, complete and benefi ial action of tbe State sovemment. TTje c inclusion is, ttiat the petitioner ia eutitleJ to be discharged with costs. W ill H. Battlb. Concurring opinion of Chief Justice R. M. Pearson ii the c-ne of Jotttismi vs ULUlelt I concur iuity ia the decision in this case for these reasons : mla. W! ct (fioers arp ntefssary and proper for the adaiiuL-tiatiOu ot tte (ioverurneut, is a marer coofileu to the wisdom of the Legislature by the Cot8titutioa of tbe State, except in respect to the officers created or re cognizby ibat :LBrtu;UvUt itself. Whenever theLeg 'Slavurc creatvs aod and fi la an office, or authorises a c;uoty or municipal c rporatioa to do so, it is to be taken conclusively as a "preaumptiou of law" that such office is necessary and proper, lor otherwise, the folly of i Teat mg and continuing a useless cfficeis imputed to the ljeg s ature. 2i. i he Governor, members of the Legislature, Juige3 end other ofhjers of the state, are not liable to coaecriptiun, by tie force and effect of the Constitution and ot onr form of government, and stand in no need of an ex mption either by an act of Congress or tbe cer- tiScate and claim oi Ue Governor, or act of the Leeris- laiure. For tbe power to onscript is restricted by the condition thut it does not include officers of the States; otherwise, the existence of the creator would be made to depend on the will of the creature. So that part of the act o Congress which enumera- ted among the persons exempted "The members of tbe several btate Legislatures, and euch other State of- ficers as the Governors of the respective States mav cer- tify to be necessary for the proper administration of the State government" act 17th February. 1864. sec. 10. clause 2, ia a matter of supererogation, lhe certificate of the Governor therein rto aired bas no leeral effect, and the resolution of the Legislature which demand? the ex- tmption of State officers, is in effect a protest by that body Rgainst.the right asserted on the part of Congress to couscript tfficf rs of the State by enumerating them among the persons whom, in its wisdom, it is deemed expedient to exempt. " R. M. PEARSON FROM. THE GEORGIA FROST. The Macon Telegraph speaks thus of matters at the lront : We have reliable information to the effect that the Yankees are advancing from Atlanta, ia this direction, in two columns, one on the 'McDonough road and the other by Jonesboro'. Oar forces are at Griffin. More than this we deem it imprudent at present to state. A gentleman who left Forsyth Thursday at three o' clock, informs ua that a courier arrived at that place about half en hour be'ore be left, and reported that there was soma Yankee cavalry eight miles north of the town. All the bridges on tbe road from Forsyth to Ir.dian borings were burned by oar forces. The Hospitals at LaGranse have been ordered to Mississippi. lhe Intelligencer publishes the annexed news about affairs : me latest renaDie inteutgenca irom tne lront in Georgia, we have received from a gentleman who left Griffin Wedcesday night at ten o'clock. Gen. Wheel er fought the enemy who was advancing with a farce estimated at from twenty-hve to thirty thousand, in two columns, one on the McDonogh and the other on the Jonesboro' road at Bear Creek, ten miles above Griffin, until late in the evecincr. wheri he fell back to Griffin, and was passing through the city on its right, wuen our miorinani ieis. uar miaiiiry iorces were 1. 5 f i l fi y""V . I falhng back to Barneaville. lt is probable, at tbe time we write, tbat Sherman occapies Grina and will rapidly demonstrate upon Macon, and perbaps Milledgeville. it is reported tnat bberman has applied tbe torcnjto a large portion of Atlanta, and had burnt Jonesboro', also aicuonougb. it is reported that he bas destroyed tbe Railroad from Atlanta to the Chattahoochee and burnt tne bridge at tne river on that road. We learn from a reliable source that Gov. Brown's residence in Canton, Cherokee Co., embracing his cjm mod ions dwelling house, kitchen and outhouses, &c., to gether with his office building, were all burnt to the ground by the vandal foe a lew days ago. Tbe officers in command of the vandals who were sent to execute the work they so ruthlessly and successfully performed, al lowed the family who were living on the premises at the time, only tfteen mtnutes to remove their furniture from the house and alf that was not removed within that time was devoured by tbe names, ine same party burnt tae uourt noose, jaii, Academy, DJin tne Hotels, and about two thirds of tbe best dwelling and business houses in Canton. A force of some three or four thous and of the vaodals were within a mile or two of the town, while some seventy of the band were sent into the town under an officer with orders to bum the house of of Governor Brown, the public buildings, and the bouesrot ail who have been prominent oouthern men. a It is now evident tbat Sherman bas inaugurated a winter campaign and that Georgia is tbe field which he designs to desolate. A terrible crisis is therefore UDon U3. Hivery man in tbe State able to bear arms should rally ta the rescue. In the hands of the military an- I tboritits, however the defence ot tbe rttate is left. We it have no suggestion to make. What we bave Ion? look- ed for, income at last. vVe have do censures now to pass upon any one, wmie we wouia urge upon every m&n I to jin the State the necessity of doing what5 patriotism and 'duty require him. ' 1 The destruction of Atlanta, R6m3 and Marietta have been aoDoacccd, ana ne nas now tasen up nis line ot march for the coast, more with the view df saviug the remnants of his shattered army than cf capturing any fort in d cities. The duty that lies befjre us is plain, and mj be per ceivel at a single clance. Lot the fores which wean concentrate in front of Sherman's army ia a few dajs at farthest, d srroy e7erything, upon h:ci be can sub sist, they cannot carry out of Lis way, aod an he has no other mea'js of subsistence, an army or lO.uuo man can in less iban fifteen davs. force them to surrender : if the? cannot do this, they can Jiold them iu check until sufficient forces arrive from accessible points, thereby rendering hopeless, in any event tho pojsibility of their escape. We can see nothing for which the people may be come alarmed, but touch to hope for. A firm, unfal tering heart and determined resolution is all we want at present, and a few weeks will perhaps suffice to drive the last vandal from the sou of Georgia. It is true many may return to the place where their homes once stood but to had them marked alone witn smouldering ashes, vet better that as freemen, than under the hated rule of tha invading foe. Hport of Confederate Ag.t of Exchange. The foilo wins: document wa3 referred to in the Re port of the Secretary of War, recently pubiisbed in this paper : Richmond, Va , Nov. 2, 18J4. Hoc. James A. Sedden, Secretary of War : On the 3 J of May last, I had the honor to submit to you a derailed report, cot only of the operations of the Bureau of Exchange up to that dale, out also a full statement ot the principles that had goverjed its ac tion. Since that date there have been several deliveries of prisoneis on both bides, embracing chit fly, but by no means excruaiveiy, sick and disabled men. 1 have as surances that further and larger deliveries of this class of prisoners will be made duriDg the fall aud winter. At the time of my last report, we insisted upon the release of all prisoners, the excess to be oa parole. lhe enemy rerased to comply with this plain require ment of the cartel, and demanded, when a delivery of prisoners waa made, an equal number in return, oee- iog a pefBisient purpose ou the part of the Federal Gov eminent to violate us agreement, our authorities, moved by the sufferings of the brave men who are so unjustly held in Northern priaops, determined to abate their just demandp, and, accordingly, on tne IOth cf August last, 1 oflareu to exchange tne prisouers respectively held by the two bedigereats, cfhc3r for officer and man for mau. I only stipulated that the cfifijers Bhould be the first delivered, wb;re it was practicable. Although this offjr was saostautiaily bat bad often been pro- propoaed by the Federal authorities, and would have left in ineir nacds wnatever excess or prisoners they might have uad, yet it waa not accepted. Some time in September following, I receive! a ro ply from a quarter to wbica I had notdireCi.ed my com munication, inquiring whether the Coofederate author ities intended to treat recaptured slaves aa prisoners o( war, and euggweting that a favoraule answer would -a - V l rw remove 4 a principal dimciiry m true. leg exchanges." My own firm conviction is, that even if we were to agree to tbe ur juat demands of the em my in this respect, we would not secure a general exchange. Wbile the reason for their refusal is more truly stated in the let ter of Gen. S'Jtmian to Gen Uojd, yet I think it very doub ful whether they would agree to a gen.ral ex c'langp, even if we consented to treat recaptured slaves aa prisoners of war and dthvered those whesa term oi service had not expired I am satisfied their coarse is the result or a coavicuou tore d upoa tnem oy tne events ot the war that a Confederate- soldier is more Valuable than a Federal. Th miaeneB of tns of thousands of their own people are aa uoti ing when weighed ugainsi a calculation. We can only hope that the pre enre brought to bear upon the Fi-dernl -.authorities by the friends and relatives of prisoners held by ua may force a char g i of policy. I caunot staie with any "certainty the relative pro portion of prisoners r spr ctively held by the two Gov ernments, inejb ederal autncrities bave a yet tailed to furnish me witb any reliable lifts, although often promising to do so. Tbey hold an excess of efficers and I ihmk I can safely assert we have an exc.ss of the tank and-file. Lately, I bave consummated an arrangement for the release and exchange of all uaval prisoners. A partial delivery bas already been made, and another is daily ex pected, which wid fully carry out the agrtement. Some deliveries and exchanges have also taken place in the trans-Mississippi coun;ry, through the agents of this office. They wilt probaoly again occur, whenever the enemy has asy prisoner ia that region to give as cqaivaleats, An error respecting special exchanges seems to prevail both amongst our people acd captive soldiers. Ibe federal authorities, with a m dignity eongenial to them, in the hope of causing irritation on the partuf our prisoners towards their Goveinmrnhave basely ana laiseiy represemeu o tnem, mat special ex- charjges are being constantly proposed by ua. Along time ago I communicated to you tbe maoy grave ob- hections to any such system. My views met your entire I approval, and J. have accordingly copatantly efrained rroaa maKing special excoanges, inougn frequently ur ged to do so. The officers and soldiers delivered to U3 were in all cases selected by the enemy, and those of theirs who were sent ia return were designated by us This waa not a system of special exchange in any sense of the term. If the onicera and soldiers sent to us had been specially asked for, or if their return had teaa caused by any special action of the Confederate author I ities in 'heir individual cases, there would have been ground for the belief that, special exchanges, were being made. The efforts of the Government have been directed to the release of all our prisoners, without any discrimina tion iu favor of particular persons. To bave pursued any other plan would not only have showed partiality and favoritism, where all have tried to do their duty faithfully, but-would have given to the enemy the op portunity of making selections from iheir own prison ers in out nands to t-ucn an extent as would nave pre cluded all hope of a general exchange. With very rare exceptions, I have naver known what officers or men were on the flag of truce boat until I visited it. Un der your instructions, all of oar prisoners have been considered as occupy icg the same) position, and each one on his return has been received with as much wel come as any other. I repeat, therefore, that no special efforts have been used to secure the release or exchange of particular persons, and every line or policy which would put any one of. our prisoners in a more favora ble position than that occupied by the otbers bas be.n carefully avoided. ihc published ccnesponoence oi this office shows the entire readiness of oar Govern ment to return an equivalent for any Confederate offi cer and soldier sent within, our lines. Who that equiv alent shall be we have reserved the right to determine, and when the selection is made' and the party delivered to the Federal authorities, it is simply the return of an equivalent and not a special exchange. To refuse to return the equivalent would be to doom the officer or soldier to hopeless captivity, after liberty had dawned apon im- -w i i i am nappy io ne aDie to announce mat an agree- ment has recently been made with the Federal authori- ties, by which each Government may send contribu- tions or food and clothing to the prisoners held by the adverse party. We are at liberty to make oar parcha- sea either in Jiiarope ora A ortaern city. Wnea the details have been fully arranged I will communicate them to you The enemy still continues the arrest of non-combat ants. I have been notihad Dy the Federal authorities that "all white persons between the ages of seventeen and fifty, residents of the Coofederate States, captured by toe unitea aiaiea iorces, win oe neid and deemed to be soldiers ot tbe uontederate army, and will be treated as prisoners of war and held tor excaane." Ia view ol their practice and this declaration, tte course to be pursued by us towards non-combatants who, being citi zen"? of tbe Confederate States, are hostile to our cause becomes a subject of the gravest importance. After much reflection, I am fully convinced that the only eflectual method of preventing the outrages which are being daily perpetrated upoa loyal non-combatant citizaas, is to cause me arrest ot every citizau of tbe United States who may be within our reaco, and of suob citizins of any one of the Confederate States as are known to be inimical We have tried every other plan without much ftvail. At present, we have so small j number in connuement tnat an exchange of man for man would release but very lew oi the many held in Northern prisons. If the plan suggested worked no j other result, it wouid iurmsa us, io tne event oi an ex-1 cnanee, wita more material, a snow mere are very many crave objections to thia course, but yet I think I m v bo almost safely sUted that the horrors under I which our non-cOmracaat population' are uo Buffer- iog can haidly be increased. When we have resorted sucn arroaus as arc maw uy ine cucmy, mere js some l chance that the whole system will brjeak down by the sheer weight of its srigantiemisery.

Gambling In Richmond, The Richmond corresponduut of the Augusta Con stitutiorjuiist eays : l he admirers and devotees of the Bengal in Rich raond are not left to mourn the absence of that insati ate animal. Tne royal beast still dwellB in our midst a little more retired, possibly a little further in the depths of the jungle but still accessible to the chosen few who have taitulully followed his tcr tunes even in his days of disgrace. No longer, as of old, may be seen the garish number over tne door or his residence, pro voking the gaze ot the loiterer, after hours on Main street. Tha blue and gold and crimson of those once infallible barometers mean nothing now. The windows are dusty with decaj; the softened light o logger falls "with mellow tfLct upon thoupturned face of the soli citous gazer; the stairway that led to the misterious door is carpetless now; the tinkling bell, and tbe Afri can slave that tbe bell was woot to evoke, are some time wanting in the picture; and the unsophisticated stranger is prone to fall into the error that the last Leg' ialature has succeeded fully in its effort to suppress gambling. But go under tbe guidance of one of the faithful, and you will be admitted, in a misterious sort of way, undtr misterious circumstances, and through dimly lighted passages, into the presence ot the liger You will not fled him, as, of old though, enshrined io the panoply of luxury, and with a great store of viands at his festivals. 4 Hard times have evidently told upon 'chips" that are spread before him. Here and there in the most flourishing lairs is a modest collation spread for 4,a few friends" a collation that is to supper what the froth is to the champagne, or the mist is to the rain, or a dollar cf our currency is to a "yellow boy." When you have partaken of thie peni tential repast, you ascend into the audience chamber, and purchase your "checks sometimes whites (which stand for fives) generally, however, blues and reds, which are understood to be proxies for twenty-fives and hfties, and hazard them acd losa thsm m the old way.
