this *ut> et, but is decidedly opposed to that p cposed by

I at nine upon them the observance of the course of
poiioy embraced in tho recent proclamation of Osoeral

tempt to carry let# operation the tcutimente of
Secretary Oameroa, witn reference to arming the
slavca, would be inevitably attended with moot
if s s' rout consequences. It would probably lead to the
resignation of Gen. McClellan and the general disorgani
r tion of the army. This danger is well known te the
1’.evident, and i- one of tho most powerful motives actu-'
a' ng him to a disapproval of tb • views which Secretary
Cam rou desired to ei uacia e in his report ai d to make
prevail in the conduct of the war. Mr Lincoln’s own

proposed by Mr. Cameron ; bu*, if there were do o'her
cause to lead him to set hie face obstinately against the ni,

a!i -ufficient. It is no wouder, therefore, lha* there ia
anxiety and trepidation among niembets of Cougresr,
army officers, and the whole community, growing out of
the non-delivery uf the Message to dsy. I believe that
the moderate and constitutional views of the President
will pie veil, and that 'be ultra extreme measures of ab
eliuouists in the Cabinet, in Congress and in public Ule
will meet with failure and discomfiture.
The subject of negro emancipation has also been

ever the same will appear to the Commandcr-in-Chief, cr

CITY ITKMR.
Tea RiLtir Fcito.—We regret to learn that tbe fund
el the diepoael of tbe treesurer of the “Soldiers' Aid Ho
mely’’ has been exhausted 1 The privation wh'ch moat
neult from the cseeition of tbe relief heretofore affor
ded will be severely fell daring the inclement season, by
the families of our absent volunteer*. Tbe subject
should at once receive the earueet attention of th# phil
anthropic citiseas of Riehmoud. It will never do, after
hiving relieved tbe want* of the dependent mother*,
wives, or ohildreu of the Richmond volunteer*, during
the lummer month*, to abaudoa them to a pracariooa
•xiateoce, during the froeta and anowa of winter. If ia
•aid, on good authority, that the member* of tha City
0 mncll have expreaed a willingnest to cootribate tha
additional aum of $5,000 to the land, provided the Leg
islature will legaliio th* issue of sm^l cotea by tbe cor
poration. This aonoqpoemant ahotffd incite the repre
eentativae of the city,.in th* Legislature, to urge the
speedy passage of ac act to legal 11 said issue ; for un
less this be done, it now seems impossible to avert an
immense deal of suffering. We speak of what wa know
from actual observation when we assert that tha families
of some of the absent volunteers are In a deplorably
destitute condition. If the Alms House ereotsd by tbe
city, for the reception and care of the poor could be oc
cupied for those put-posts, many worthy, but humble
and dependent women would seek an asylum there, du
ring ths winter, but it cannot be rxptctad that they
wi'l apply for winter quarters in the sheds or barn* in
which the paupars are low lodged. We invoke every
ci'rxen who hat fire, twenty, or a hundred dollars to
•pare, to pay over a contribution to the “ Soldier's Aid
Fund " The Treasurer, Dr. Barucv, may be found at
'he Virginia Life Insurance Office—corner of Main and
11th streets, opposite American Hotel.
An “Amts or Honor."—The leading topic of atreet
talk, Saturday, was a reported duel between two ol the
sporting fraternity, Washington J. Worsham, of this

learn that tha parties, accompanied by their seoonds
and a number of friends, repaired to Broad Bock
rtce course, Saturday morning, about 8 o'clock, and
exchanged shots with duelling pistols, ten paces apart
Both fell at tbe first fire, severely wopnded. Wortham
waa struck in the right aide, tha ball passing circuitously
to tbe left side, if Acting a mortal wound. McCullough
was wounded iu the upper part of the right thigh, the
bell passing near the femoral artery, and indicting other
1 juries of a painful character. The wr untied men were
both brought back to tbe city, and placed under aergi
cil treatment We lecrn that McCullcch challenged
Worsham, in consequence of some harsh imputations
against his honesty and fair-dealing iu a partnership mat

Daovt.vxn—The body of Mr. Louis Sweitasr, was
found ufloat iu the Basin, yesterday morning, near ths
gu'gelcck. Mr. 8, w ts an I-rneli’s, well kuown in this
city, at tb* proprietor of a small dry goods store, which
be had kept for maPy years, in the vicinity of tbe First
vf&rket. He left home, on flatuithv morning, 30th uk.,
with the intention ol proceeding to Petersburg, to pur
chase gaciis, carrying with him $32t) mostly In small
■loies, winon i-i.m *u icunu in 11* pccacis, ycbierusy,
■ben the body wa* recovered. This fact, together with
the ahscns* of marks of violence on hla person, cotclu
dvely indicate that Mr. S , in repairing to the depyt, at
in earlv hour of the morning, walked accidentally into
'he basic, and drowned. Alderman Haney viewed the ho
ly yesterday, but as the circumstance showed that the de
ce sed had came to hit death by accident, ryairquestwas
hell. Cannot tho James River and Kauawhi Company
be required to enclose the basin, at those points where
oedeatria'is are txpoeed to the danger of meeting the
fate of Mr. Sweitxer *
TuiaTts —Th- patience or endurxnoe of the audiencA,
Saturday nigh', wa< taxed to the utmost, by the abomi
nable marncr in which the Brougham butlerqueof ‘To
ot-bon-taa" was presented. The burlesque, when ren
der' d by an rffleient cute, is pretty much ol a “hum
b ie,” destitute of point, and replete only with stale
jokn sod clownish non<ease. Those who have seen it
.bus rendered may judge of the lr.fl otion.wben the eba
•actors, with one or teo exceptions, are oblivious of
heir parts, and require constant prompting, as was the
case Hatni day night. The Theatre must necessarily fad
into disrepute with respectable people, unices the niana
g*M will restrain the vulgarity of some of hie company,
on the boards. We are disposed to aid him in the en
terprise he has u dertakeu, end to make allowance*
lor unavoidable dsfec’s and short-comiDgs, but we can
not raerihoe randor nor withhold censure when wt think
it is deserved.
RirsLiss Datvtsn—We hoar complaint* of the
ei-klcss and rapid driving or the negroes employed to
rive the transportation wagona of tho Quartermaster’*
Department in this city. They make their tearoe whirl
nrougb the streets at a rapid rate, and produce by their
emp'y wagois a din rqial to tho noiao of a hundred
rip-hammers The police should reineoatrate with the
iroper authorities against this dangerous nuiaauce, or
therwise, report the drivers to the Mayor.
Maroa's Cocav.—The proceedings ou Saturday, were
S-aroly worth noting. A man named Hammond was
arraigned ou the charge of receiving ten tiara of lead,
stolen from the Confederate Laboratory. The inveali
galion was continued until this mcraing. An Irishman
named Fitzgerald, wea charged with beating hi* wife,
iut it appeared that the gray mare woe the better home,
md so the prooeedinrs were d smisard.
