Talmest shudder when 1 reflect into what a dark and misty gulf the pride an@ ambition of sach men have urlod their bleeding country—'bis physical abyss into which thiuking moa look with borror—tbis fathomless pit of blood and tears. Not only have thoy caused their own rutn and pank- ruptoy, but they have effected a revolution in society which must recoil on their own devoted beads. The Tuined noblesse of Virginia, who bave§ waded through deluge of blood to redress the mere shadow and mockery Of grievances, are dropping away to de replaced either by Yankee enterprise or a shoddy aristocracy. No longer can the proud planter lord it over his poor dopendents, War, in its fury, has, like apent up torrent Jet loose, torn up the landmarks of social life, and has xiven even the poor , despised negro # chance of asserting his maubood. But tp return to ‘TH RUINKD HOURR OF TALLIAFERRO, The better class of Southern houses are for the most part, large and roomy on the first floor; over the cellars and servants’ apartments are the parlors and drawing room, divided by a spacious ball. ‘the rear of these are smaller rooms, or rather cellars.

I cannot understand ‘the wee of all these, for they appear as numerous as the berths in aship. They @ppear fit receptacles for dark deeds, even to conceal the man in the iron mack.

FORAGING RXPEDITIONS It is amusing to see how eagerly the men will seize. upon any furniture left in houses, as if they could turn them to much practical use.

On Saturday morning the Baltimore commit. tee are expected to visit the flagebip of the squadron, io order te tender the officers an invitation to visit that city. The Officers express thelr intention of giving an enter- tainment tn a few days to the citizens of New York, in return for the reorption which they have received during their advent among us. To-night they will visit the New York thoatre, on fnvitation of the managers. Admiral Lalovski and his officers are showered with invitations to attend different places of interest in the neighborhood of the me- tropolia. Private citizens of wealth and prominence go on board the flagship deily and proffer the hospitaiities of theirmansions to the officers. It was expected that the committee of citizens who met on Monday night at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, for the purpose of tendering to the Russians s public dinner, would meet again last night in order to finish up thoir business; but there was no ap- pearance of them in that locality up to ten o’clock last evening.

Great care will be exercised also in the selection of the tonsts to be offered at the tablo,and it is supposed the good sense of the speakers will lead them to shape thetr speeches rather after the social and convivial than the political, the affair being intended as an exhibition of the good will of the American people towards the Russians as s pation. Probably four hundred people will be present at the banquet, among tho number many of the most talented and popular persouages tn the commu. nity, as well as -many distinguished visitors from abroad.
