Forreat has written a letter to ft Mem? phis paper, in wbioh he Bays: "Within the last few (Jays I have rocoivod a large number of letters from men who were prominent-' Confederate officers uuu eoldiers, volunteering to the 8eoretary> of War, through me, their services to fight for the 'old flag,' in case of a war ~'itL Spain. Bcicg too mnoh eneased to answer their letters separately,'allow me to say, through the oolumos of your widely oironlated journal, that it is very gratifying to me to soe upon the part of those who, like myself', fought against it, so earnest a disposition to fight for it, in case of a foreign war. As for myself, our civil war having closed, and having pledged allegiance to the Go? vernment, Bhonld she beoome involved in war with a foreign power, I Bhonld struggle as hard for it as I ouoe, as a Oonfederato soldier, Btraggled against it: As to those frienda and old com? panions in arms, who have written to me, I would say, I hope and believe there will be no war, owing to the wiee policy adopted by the distinguished soldier now at the head of the Govern? ment; but should it come, let us show onr loyalty to the flag by standing ready j to Btrike down any band raised against it." Emigrant Mattkbb.?The Commie sioners of Emigration, at New York, are abont closing up their reports for the year, which, it is calculated, will show a slight falling off in the number of emi Sants ftcm 1872. The figures up to eoember 20 are 266,011, as opposed to 292,933 for the previous year. Ireland and Germany, as heretofore, have fur? nished by far tho larger number of emi? grants, the former having contributed, up to December 20, 76,083, and the lat? ter, including all German speaking I countries, 105,749. England has sent 32,718, as against 36,159 in 1872. France, including her lost provinces of | Alsace and Lorraine, has sent during tho year but 5,197, as against 20,579. Sweden furnishes 10,163 and Italy 6,770. Among the onriosities of emigration are! the following: Asia furnishes 1, Austra? lia 5, Africa 9, Egypt 2, Gibraltar 1, Greece 15 and Turkey 26. Most of tho emigrants have come with some means sufficient to start them in their new life, though many have arrived here in entire destitution. Tho number of emigrants whom the efforts of the Mormon mis f sionaries have brought hither during the year is 2,487, being 777 mure than for 1872. These are sub-divided us fol? lows: Denmark 617, England 980, Ire? land 14, Holland 15, Norway 78, Sweden 376, Scotland 116, Switzerland 133, Wales 64, Holstein 6, Saxony 2; Baden 4. The Cask of the Vraarmus.?The re oent opinion of the Attorney-General ou the atatos of the Yirginius, is very gene? rally discussed and freely criticised in Washington. In this oonnection, it may be mentioned as a singular faot, that the Attorney-General's opinion was known at Madrid before it was msde public here, and was commented on by the Havana press in advanoe of its publica? tion in our newspapers. Abosts year ego, the Spanish .Government com? plained of the YirginiuB, and alleged that she was not entitled to fly the Ame? rican flag. The matter was referred by the Secretary of State to the Attorney General, who then decided that the Yir? ginius was primafacie an American ves? sel. The record of the vessel, so far as this Government is concerned, stood exactly as it does now. In his recent decision, the Attorney-General goes back to hor registry, in the name of Patterson, on the 26th of September, 1870. somo two years prior to the date when he certified that sho was prima facie an American vessel. Of course, in the face of this last opinion, Ibis Go? vernment can make no further demand on Spain. The Death Kate in Cities ?Tho mortality in Now York last wee k whs at n yearly rate of 24.8 per 1,000. London in tho week ending November 22, re? ported a death into equal to-20 per 1,000 yearly; tho rate in the twenty-oue chief cities of Great Britain in the same | weeks was at the mine rate as in Lou- j don; and while in Norwich it was only 15, and in Edinburgh 22, it was at 27 in Liverpool; 28 in Dublin, and 35 iu New? castle. In Paris the rate was 24 per 1,000; in Berlin, Brussels and Florence I 22. and in Vicuna 20 per 1,000. Tboj following is a comparative statement of cases of contagious diseases reported in New York for the two weeks ending December 13: Week ending December 0?small-pox 6, typhoid fever 4, scarlet fever 68, measles 9, diphtheria 50. Week ending December 13?small pox 2, typhas fever 1, typhoid fever 71. measles 20, diphtheria 44. The Unemployed in New York.

Sopposing tho eame proportion to hold truo of the un? skilled workmen, the day laborers, etc., it affirms that the "volume of distress," whilo large enough to call for a special effort, is not large enough to exceed the capacity of the existing machinery of relief.
