TIlC N. Y. Tuna correspondent, under dale of Nov. 2'Jd, at Falmouth (Va.) says : The Union and rebel pickets who nro stationed at the destroyed Falmouth bridge yesteiiluy held some i mining conversation across tlit river. Lieut, ilones, of the Second Delawaie, who was in charge of the station, conducted the talk on our side. The icbcl pickein inquired how many peo ple, " lor Cod's sake," there were up North. They thought Ihey wciu all in the tinny ; but having lately teceiull a paper contain ing the election returns, Ihey were surprised lo see the large number of votes cast. "We are tind of this tiling." said a rebel cap tain who c.iiiieilown lo the shore. " If you will bring old Horace (Jicely and linng him on that side of (ho bridge, we will hang Jed'. Davis on this side, uud let that end the war." (He had probubiy ben reading the late speeches of John Van Rmen.) " How aro you olF for colfec and Uigur?'1 they asked. " Wo have plenty," snid Lieut. .Tones. " and wo have enough to cut, too," uddiug, " how do you fare?" " Oh, wo live on hot bread and hot wa ter," replied the lebel ; "if you will jusl come ucross nnd bring us some coll'eu and a newspaper, we will exchange with you." " What i tlio price of boots and shoes over there?" " Fifteen dollars u pair for shoes, nnd no hoots to bo had ul any price," replied the captain. Thus (ho conversation went on until both parlies being satisflul, withdrew. Some pickets to-day wero not so civil to each other.und Indulged In vuiious uni-ecni-ly epithets. i .ii - --'in i Prentice of I lip Louisvillo Journ! thus hits the fushon of low-mck dresse: ' li is supposed that angels do not wear dresses. Our fushionublc ladies are gelling more uud more angelic every ycur. I JJF.uiNNi.Nu to Skk It. The Cincinnati Inquirer, u strongly conservative journal, begins: to have cleur nnd correct compre hensions ol the relations that the everlast ing " nigger " suslains to this rebellion. The following are Its romments on it pino (.riph inn R'climond pa lei'.unimunci ig the fact that l,")(J0 negroes hud bem inprcsscd by the Confederate authorities to woik on the fortificutions about Richmond : Forty-five hundred negroes at woik on the fortifications 1 Whut lortilieutions? riiOFuubeut Riclunond 1 They arc dtg;iug thedilclies uud throwing up the p'Kriipets thai must Dc stormed iiy t tie soidins ol our own hVsh nnd blood 1 They are build ing up tlie strongholds, to capture which thousands on thousands of our brave and devoted champions will fall a bloody sneri lice! And yet some of us are tender of the " right of property '" of Ihu rebellious and deadly enemies lo whom tluse iiivalua ble auxiliaries " owe " such fearlul " service or labor." There are some of us who still cling wilh romantic folly to a strict obser vance of the lelations of umsler nnd slave which prevailed when all was peace ami union I There are some of us who still stubbornly adhere to our traditions of fidel ity lo those constitutional obligations which Hie slave-master has stricken down wilh his own 1111111', and tiampled under his feet ! Tlieie me still thosu among u-t who won d render up fugitivis alter the master had put arms in the liamN of the slave to de stroy that Union. nnd that Constitution, un der which he still in.-oluiitly cluiuu their n million ! Do we think of IIipsp fearful ntomolie.s iu our conduct ? If we do. uud still lullicie to our old traditions uud our discharged legal obligations towiuds this one specits ol property so invaluable lo our enemies, then our infatuation can go but one step further, which is Ibis: If these fnrly-fivc hundred negroes, after working awhile on the Ru h mom iulreticliineuts, should leave them in complete uud desert into our lines, c shoti'd straightway send them back to throw up the traverses and nioun. the guns! Thus would we throw the entire rrsponsi biliiy upon the rebel. " subject only to the CiiiiMitution of the United Stales." The Sacramento Union, comiuciiting on the above, truthfully rcuuiik.s : The Enquirer has disc ivered, though long brcloiulid bycoiistitutionul mists, that we migl.t as welloppo-e the confiscation ol I Ihu enemy's guns uud war material no resist the conli-eation of those slave who liirmsh their commissariat uud con-It net their en trenchments. Common serse In gins lo glimmer tlirou'.'h the nuizo of eou'ervative opposition. Ily-urnl by, the people will re alize that the opponents of a thorough go lug war policy are nothing bolter than en emies of the (lino nment in disguise. The cloven foot will be seen benealh the shi ning garment of loyally, donned for the occasion by the 'conservative' demagogues. Lo'ai.ists of i it k Hoiidkii Sr.iTi:s. The New York Emn'iii; 7'oL alluding to the ililTVrcnce between the loyalists of the Uor der States who sustain ihu President uud the politicians of the North who villifj him, and do not hesitate lo plot for n dis graceful truce wilh the rebels, explains the contrasts us follows : The reason if this dillVrence is, dial these Slave Slute patriots know what the rebellion means; they know its ambition uud its malignity ; uud they are not deluded by the lalse hopes of peace which profes sionul Democrats ull'ecl to cherish. They know thul the leaders of tin; revolt, con vinced of their utter inability to retain or recover their political power within the Union, ure determined destiny the Union; that they huve set their lives upon the east, uud will stand the hazard of the die. come what will. The rebels jeer and mock ut the fool is-h pioposals of conciliation which sometimes nbtiudc Ihcum'lvcsin the speech es nf Democratic matois, uud Ihey tell us, as the Richmond Diyulcli did in an article of November lOtli. on ' the elect ions in Vankeedom," that " the old Hug is the most detested of symbols lo the- whole body of Southern society," the boasted American eagle iu reality u ineie " Yankee buzzard," and that, " If slaveiy weie legalizul iu ev ery Slute, the South would never accept tlio condition for a return to the laud ol bondage." In such u slute of leeling in the seceding' States, the wiso men of all parties i egret to see that war alone can tci minute the existing rtiflicultics.
