At the latter city, the fact has already leaked out that a minister to a European court and a correspondent of Republican party newspapers—whoso position as a correspondent at Washington gave him rare opportunities to become acquainted with the plans of Government—was, at the same time, betraying the Republic, and giving aid and comfort to its enemies. it for six dollars—-only six dollars—Harry!

In this city there is a terrible substratum of crime and vice, violence, misery and murder, over which the wheels of the ootton king's ohariot rumble gratingly, and on which rest in dangerous security the feet of his throne. There are numbers of negroes who arc sent out in the street! every day, with orders not to return with less than seventy-five cents—anything more they cau keep. But if they do not gain that—about 3s 6d a day—they are liable to punishment; they may be put into goal on charges of lasiness, and may be flogged ad libitum, anjJ are sure to bo half starved.

It is probable that the known results of such examination will be but a fraction of exposures not less valid, but having little to do with the crisis of the times, and the purposes for which the telegrams were seized.At the house of a planter, the other day, one of them asked my friend, "Will we be made to work, massa, whon ole English cdoic ?" An old domestic in the house of a gentleman in this city, said, "Thero are few whites in this place who ought not to be killed for their cruelty to us." Another said, " Oh, just wait till they attack Pickens!" These little hints are significant enough, coupled with the notices of runaways and the lodgments in the police goals, to show that all is not quiet below the surface. The holders, however are firm, and tlier have been many paragraps stating that the slaves have contributed to the various bonds for State defence, and ihey generally show the very best spirit. By the proclamation of Governor Magoffin, a oopy of which I enclose, you will see that the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and Commander-in-chief of all her military forces on land or water, warns all States, separated or united, especially the United States and the confcdcrato States, that he will fight their troops if they attempt to enter his commonwealth. Thus, Kentucky sets up for herself, while Virginia is on the eve of destruction, and an actual invasion has taken place of her soil. It is exceedingly difficult of comprehension that, with the numerous troops, artillery and batteries, which the confederate journals asserted to be in readiness to repel at* tack, an invasion, which took place in the face of the enemy, and was effected over a broad river, with shores readily defensible, should have been unresisted.

Not Aumodcus, peering through the tiles of a city upon the unconscious households below, had an avenue so broad to the rottenness of reputation, the fickleness of fortune, or the vanity of human virtue. To see plainly the consequences of such examination, the full uses of the telegraph must be understood. It has become, in our time, as necessitous as the mail, or even speech itself. It is not employed by the business world alone, but by citizens of every rank and profession. As swift as speech, it is scarcely less of a necessity, and upon its electrio wires the rarest secrets glide on as securely as if whispered from lips to ears, or wrapped in the recesses of the staunoheat mail bag. The operators, in time, become mental automatons, who read, transfer, and file ; but are content with knowing the letter of the message, and are ignorant of its spirit, or, if cognizant, forgetful in an instant. Not so with the telegram files ! Day after day, week after week, year after year, the solemn or trivial secrets of the telegraph office are bundled together and laid carefully away. The traitor who informed oonspirators in a distant section of the movements of bis country's armies; the hollow corporation that winged the secret of its rottenness to distant agencies; the bankrupt merchant, that still maintained his credit at home,but over-reached his creditors by prompt consultation with the wires; the hypocrite that mado his assignation in remote cities and still walked uprightly in the eyes of men —all these did not know, or knowing, forgot, that, line by line, these despatches were treasured, and that the day was to oome, when the law, like a falcon, would pounce upon them, and bring to light all written foibles and treacheries, villainies and frauds. It has been reserved to our day to see this seizure, and Philadelphia, in common with the cities of the North, witnessed the appearance of the United States Attorney and the District Marshals in the leading telegraph offices, armed with power from Washington to lay hold upon all that had, in any way, passed over the wires, sinco the Presidential eleotion. "Can't say Highly probable." NEW YORK. "Oh!" rejoins the quostioner, with a pile face and unsteady gait, "don't let 'em do it, I'll be ruined ; I will!

Thfc other evening I came home with an extra ten dollar bill in my pocket—money that I had earned by out-of-doors work.— The fact is, I'm a clerk in a down town store, at a salary of $600 per annum, and a pretty wife and baby to support out of it. I suppose this inoome will sound amazingly small to your two and three thousand dollar officc holders, but nevertheless we oontrive to live very comfortably upon it.

CARPENTER & BROTHER, New Orleans, May 25.—There are doubts arising in my mind respecting the number of armed men actually in the field in tho South, and the amount of arms in the possession of tho Federal forces. Tho constant advertisements and appeals for "a few more men, to complete" such and such companies, furnish some sort of evidence that men are still wanting. But a painful and startling insight into the manner in which "volunteers" have been sometimes obtained, has beon afforded me at Now Orleans. In no oountry in tho world have outrages on British subjects been so frequent and so wanton as in the States of America. They have been frequent, perhaps, because they have generally been attended with impunity. Englishmen, however, will be still a little surprised to hear that within a few days British subjects livingin New Orleans have been seized, knocked down, carried off from their labor at the wharf and the workshop, and forccd by violence to serve in the "vol. unteer" ranks ! These cases are not isolated. They are not in twos and threes, but in tens and twenties ; they have not occurred stealthily or in by-ways; they havo taken plaoe in the open day and in the streets of New Orleans. These men have been dragged along like felons, protesting in vain that they were British subjects. Fortunately, their friends bethought them that there was still a British Consul in tho city, who would protect his countryme—English, Irish or Scotch. Mr. Mure, when ho heard of the reports and of the evidence, made energetic representations to tho authorities, who, after some evasion, gave orders that the impressed "voluntoers" should be discharged, and the "Tiger Itiflcs" and other compames were deprived of the services of thirty-five British subjects whom they bad taken from their usual avocations. The Mayor promisep it shall not occur again. It is high time that such aots should be put a stop to, and that the mob in New Orleans should bo taught to some regard to the usages of civilized nations. Thero are some strango laws here and elsewhere in reference to compulsory service on the part of foreigners which it WQttlfl MAXCrACTUnERH AMD DEALERS III ALL KISD* OP Here it is said there is a mighty plan, ia pursuance of which the United States troops are to be allowed to make their waj into Virginia, that they may at some convenient placc bo eaten up by their enemies; and if we hear that tho confederates at Harper's Ferry retain their position one may believe some such plan really exists, although it is rather doubtful strategy to permit the United States forces to gain possession of the right bank of the Potomac. Should the position at Harper's Ferry be really occupied with a design of using it as & pofht (Vappui for movement? against the north, and any largo number of troops bo withdrawn from Annapolis, Washington and Baltimore, so as to leavo these points comparatively undefended, an irruption in force of the confederates on the rignt flank and in rear of General Scott's army, might cause most serious inconvcnience and endanger his communications, if not tho possession of the places indicated. Lookiug at the map, it is easy to comprehend that a march southward from AK exandria could be combined with an effective movement by the forces said to be concentrated in and around-Fortress Monroe, so as to place Biobmond itself in danger, and, if any such measure is contemplated, a battle must be fought in that vicinity, or the prestige of the south will receive very great damago. It is impossible for any one to understand the movements of the troops on both sides. Three oompanies are scattered broadcast over the enormous expanso of the States, and, where concentrated in any considerable numbers, seem to havo had their position determined rather by local circumstances than by considerations connccted with the general plan of a large campaign.
