The city is Bubsidinginto quietude. All are moving away their valuables and their persons. Many able bodied men have left.

Tho authorities are resolved that no cotton shall bo captured. The soiling of liquor is prohibited within Mont? gomery itnd a region around often niilea,*| by Gov. Watts. The City Council has passed an ordinance to send all such stuff | away to be stored at an appoiuted place. If owners will not "do it, tlVe city will. . The.same Council has very foolishly in? structed its officers not to interfere with parties who have not exceeding three;gal? lons of liifuor for private use. -if the Yankees come'hero and can get "liquor, good byo to Montgomery.

"Reconstruction" is not only "de? struction," but it is degradation and'dis? grace. It iB far better to spend every? thing i:t fighting our crtlcl foe, than lo re? construct and permit him to spend it for us. ' "Wb'can "reconstruct" upon no torm'B that prevent confiscation and abject ela vecyy Jfcd rather t??in submit to such "destruction" and humiliation; I am for fighting as long as there is a man left to fight with, or arfything"reft 'for. If it real? ly be'trie that further resistance be."des-. ruction," it is infinitely preferable to that kind of,''destruction" which would follow "reconstruction." We enn read pur.doom in tho event of subjugation, both in the threats of the en? emy and the acts of oppression which ev? erywhere follow their triumphs. "Recon? struction" would requiro the soldier-to destroy the proud ensigns of his glory, to stack his arras, lower his head in dishon? or and pass under the yoke of abolition, tyranny, "ft would requiro confiscation, imprisonment arid 'death! It would turn into out families bands of detectives to ferret outthe household secrets! It would Suppress the freedom of speech?deprive us of-arms and 'the elective franchise.

We cantiOt"afford to fail! Betreat now is more dangerous than to advance, we can take no step backwards. So far as I am concerned I have burn? ed my ships, So'as to 'fhsike 'retreat impos? sible; and the evidences of treachery which I see around me, lrave only inspir? ed nie with renewed energy and a firmer resolve to tread with unfaltering trust the path1 that leads to victory and independ? ence, though it lead through tears and suf feringpPttid-blQod-. Hymn of the Marsellaise. The Marsellaise was inspired by genius, patriotism, youth,beauty and champagne. Eouget do Lislo was an officer of-the. gatk rison'at^StrasJburgj'aih'd'a native of Mount Jura. Ho was an unknown poet and com? poser. . Ho had a pleasant friend named Die t rick, whose wife and daughters were the only critics and admirers of the sol? dier poet's song. One night he was at supper with his friend's family, and they had only coarse bread and slices dfham. Diotrick, looking sorrowfully'at De Lisle, said: ? - "Plenty is not ours at least,| but -we have the courage of the soldier's heart; "I have' still one bottle left in'the cellar?bring it my daughter, and let ?9 drink.tQ Liberty roung girl brought the bottle?it ?v; . ;co . < "!:austed, and'Do Lislo'went ? he could not sleep for tin) <?MHH|': ??art was .warm and full, of the bo: u^and, patriotism. He took a Pin: xorU .anil tried to compose *a song; sometimes .the words wero composed first, so-metimes the air. Directly he fell asleep over tho instrument and waking at daylight, wrote do^'u'what he had conceived in the delirium of the night. Then he awaked^the families, and aung'his production; at- first the. women turned'pale, then they wept, then burst' forth in a cry of enthusiasm. It was the ?"song of the nation, and5 of terror. Two months afterwards Diotrick went 'to the scaffold listening to the selfsame music, composed under his own roof and, by^the inspiration of his last bottlocf wine. The people saug it everywhere?it flew from city to city, to every'p.ublic orches? tra.

Mrs. George Washington Wyllys asks the above question, and'then elaborately an? swers it thus: Are women naturally polite, did you ask, dear, good natured'public T l)id you ever know a woman who did not know "it was outrageous" for anoth? er woman to travel with a baby, or who didn't regard it as "cruel and barbarous/' if any one objected to the crying of her baby? - Did you ever know two Women to talk over a third without ridiculing her, even if she was "her'" dear particular friend ?" ?Did you ever .praise brie young lady in the-presence of another, .without being confidentially told of some enormous fault or deformity in the other that you hadn't droamed of ? Did 'you 'over know a pretty woman 'to make an expression without half *a dozen other pretty women ruining the effect of it the instant she left the room ?? Did you ever hear a woman who had an idea that she was making trouble by Ber little airs and graces'? We don't believe you ever did reader. They arc a race of unaccountables, these women, just as sweet and piquant as June roses, sometimes, and then again, like" so many venomous tk?'rn bushes. There is one tiling we;never ceaso to be inwardiy thankful for?that .we are not a man,' consequently not obliged to marry one of 'em'. Why, she would drive us crazy in a week, "with her whims and fancies, lier exactions and "pretty ways. Wo would make the riost hen-pecked "husband in the world, unlesSj indeed, wo had the nerve, to runaway' from her, or shut her up inj^l?set for a week, until she promised to behave better. When ? woman chooses, she can be the nearest thing to an angel of any thing in the world, and what a pity jt is that she doesn't aV -wa-Vb choose. - ? ? Our Late Congress.?The editor of the Lynch burg Republican, after making a visit to Richmond during the session of Congress, gives the annexed opinion of the result of his "survey of men and -mat? ters. Ay few days sojourn at the capital-gave us an opportunity of witnessing the do ii-gs of Congress. ? Xo man of ordinary penetration could enjoy this privilege .with-. out being painfully impressed with tho conviction that our representative men, ? with comparatively fewexceptions, aro not-equal to-the crisis, and therefore, to? tally ineapablo'of directing a great revo? lution like that which has tusked'tho.en? ergies of this people for nearly four year* past; The great body of them might do in the piping times of peace to look after appointments and attend to the ordinary affairs of their constituents before the different bureaus of tho government, but they are not men for these times. In point of ability and statesmanship I'thb ''Confederate Congress . hardly "sur? passes an Artillery gathering of tho Vir? ginia Legislature, during the ;ime, now ?past, when every, member of that body was legally elected and could clair-'a llr irig constituency. One cannot look upon this bocly and then wonder that more than two months ot 'the present session have passed-away, with little ov -nothing accomplished. .The wonder is, or should bo, that such a collection of men could accomplish any good: Two whole States are represented .there by some "sort of boons pocus, that have never been included intbeConfeder- * acy; whilst West Virginia, and portions of other States haVe representatives that owe theTr election to a few soldiers here, and'there throughout the Confederacy. These circurjiStatices it must be admit? ted, were not favorable to tho composition "of such' a Congress as the timgs-roquiro; but tho fide of revolution" might have: thrown somcthing-better upon the surface if the people had bocn':carct'ui to discover it. The conclusion- is ir'resistablc that we havo not such'men 'in the country as the crisis -imperatively demand or that the constituent 'bodies have been sadly dere? lict in the selections thoy have in thi most-cases made. ? .
