sive river frontage, and the whole space on the land side extending to Tooley street was covered with eight or nine massive brick warehouses, six stories in height, some of which were formerly used as ordnance (Government) stores, the whole occupying, as we are informed, about three acre. These buildings were filled with merchandize of every description. There were some thousands of chests of tea and silk stored in the upper floors, while in the lower one there was an immense stock of Russian tallow, various oils, bales of cotton, hops and grain. Every portion of the entire establishment might be said to have been loaded with goods, and of the whole of this very valuable property, said to be valued at upwards of a million, not a vestige remains but the bare walls and an immense chasm of fire, which at dusk last evening lighted up the Pool and the east end of the city. To be added to this very serious loss is the destruction of the whole of the western range of Alderman Humphre

planter will keep it on his estate, and burn and destroy it rather than permit it to fall into the enemy's hands. This is the policy which the South must at once make up its mind to pursue, at every mile of progress which the enemy may make into our territory. If we cannot keep him out, we must devastate and lay waste every farm, and burn every city which he expects to capture. Rather than permit our own beautiful Richmond to fall into his hands, we must rise to at least the elevation of Russian patriotism, and reduce it to ashes. Every part of the garden before the Northern march must be turned into a desert; let him see that a wilderness is to be his only spoils, and he will soon tire of the murderous crusade for Southern money which he has begun. For no murder for money was ever committed which had about it more of the elements of murder, and was prompted by more cold-blooded greed of gold, and more reckless disregard of the life and property of others, than this most wicked a

he Russian war a traffic of a similar kind was established with great success. Although all direct intercourse with Russia was prohibited, the produce of that country found its way overland to the ports of Prussia, and was thence shipped, without let or hindrance, to England. The land traffic had, no doubt, the effect both of raising the price and diminishing the quantity. But we deemed it better to submit to this inconvenience than to the still greater inconvenience of being deprived of Russian produce altogether. The truth is, the more commercial the world grows, the more difficult does it become to enforce the laws of war regarding trade. The spirit of these laws is so essentially opposed to the spirit of commerce that we need not be surprised at this, nor at the various attempts which have been made of recent years by different commercial bodies, both in Europe and in America, to overturn the ancient doctrines upon this subject, and to introduce an entirely new maritime code.

Handcuffs for the South. The Southern press should keep before the people of the South and of the world the astounding and unparalleled fact that the army which invaded Virginia brought with them thirty thousand Handcuffs, which were taken with the other spoils from the enemy! This surpasses all that we have ever heard of Russian or Austrian despotism. It is almost impossible to realize that, in the United States, boasting itself as the freest and the most civilized of all nations, the most deliberate, inhuman and atrocious plan should have been formed to degrade and enslave a free people of which there is any record in this or any other age. Who ever heard, even in despotic Europe, of an invading army traveling with thirty thousand handcuffs as a part of its equipments?

king the blockades and offending the Yankee Congress. The channel pointed out was Mexico, that country having been excepted in the general law against exporting cotton through any other than the Confederate ports. The paper in question, after indulging in certain generalities about the irreversible laws of trade, and the superiority of the laws of demand and supply to all blockader and prohibitory tariff, stated that during the Russian war England received through Germany every article of Russian production of which the stood in need, as freely as the had obtained them during peace, although, of course at the expense of some inconvenience and considerable additional cost. It then proceeded to develop the plan for obtaining our cotton through Mexico. We are surprises that Congress has hitherto over looked this precious scheme, and we earnestly, entreat their immediate attention to it. It is obvious that if this door be left open, it is useless to close any other. It will defe

y a finely-furnished and expensive dwelling, a store, a bank, as to destroy a printing office. As for our course, we will only say that we feel that we are right, and thus feeling, we shall yield not an inch, even though we were certain that our office would be destroyed by a mob. We shall continue in our course, regardless of all consequences. We have been endorsed by the Democracy of Montgomery with an enthusiasm and unanimity never excelled. We shall not betray their confidence. Russian account of Gen. Lee's movements. The following is an extract from the correspondence (August 14) of the Cincinnati Gazette: Of course the country is full of the wildest rumors concerning Lee's movements. Some of them have a seed-grain of truth, others are not hampered in that way at all. Thus I have heard, among the current talk of the people, that Lee is advancing with two columns, one of five and the other of seven thousand men; that they are now in the mountains near the Gaps,

y- five years hence, be a genuine thunderbolt of Jove. It becomes those who wield dominion in Europe, and who desire to transmit it to their posterity, to seize an opportunity of ensuring stability to their Governments which, once lost, will never be regained. If Lincolnism be successful in this war, a Democratic Military Despotism will spring up in America which will wipe out every foot print of European power on this continent and which, combining itself with the hereditary despotism of Russian, will be able to crush as between an upper and nether millstone every constitutional Government of Europe. No fast and loose policy on the part of England and France, no blowing hot and cold a this critical juncture, will propitiate the North if successful in this tremendous strife. The North not only suspects their real motives but accuses and denounces them every day and, if successful, will embrace the first opportunity to retaliate. If they are wise in their generation, they will ava

ecial Washington Despatch to the New York Herald.]the Mason and Slidell affair. An absurd rumor has circulated to-day that the Government last evening decided to surrender Mason and Slidell, is without any foundation whatever. Up to eleven o'clock last night Lord Lyons had made no communication from his Government to the President or Secretary of State relative to the seizure of the traitors, Mason and Slidell. The French Minister gave a dinner this evening. The British, Spanish, Russian, and other ministers were present. In conversation the tables were rather turned upon the French Minister that he had received no instructions from his Government on the Mason and Slidell affair, since France has remained as the chosen ally of England. This was pleasantly done, but the French Minister did not relish the joke. The President has important private letters, that will have great weight in the summing up of this traitorous imbroglio, Senator Sumner, chairman of the Committ
