TUESDAY EVEXINO. JUNE 28, 18G4.
Latest from the Front.
The repulse cf toe enemy yesterday morning
by the Divisions of Cloburne. Cheatham and Wal
ker, Hardee's corps,, in one of the severest checks
sustained bj him during the war. The enemr
came right up to otr breastworks, is one instance
at least, planting s standard of colors npon them.
The rotor-bearer's body was riddled with balls.
With great eoo'aess and deliberation oar breve
hnr waiied until Ih Yankees tin '. ( the- r
breastworks, when they tntened Tipe them with
tbe deadly musket. ri.I . an I igmpe and canister.
The destruction ctn imnenM.
A distinguished OenereJ officer 'telegraphed to
Atlanta, las: night. that tie enemy's loss was Isr
grr than It was at New Hone Chnrch.
The enemy made t he attack in seven columns
Three stands of colors were captnred, Cheatham
taking two, and Cleburne one, as stated to us ly a
prominent officer, in s memorandum, received by
the train this m.jrning.
Our lines are about th same ss before the at
tark. Heavy skiririshing we going on al. along
our lines during the day, and was still going on at
6 o'clck; yesterday evening, both cannon and
small arms beiii used. About foo prisoner had
been taken np to 6 o'clock.
French's and Lorinf's Divisions were also at
tacked in force jestrday evening, and also hand
somely repulsed the- enemy, ir aiding severe inju
ry to biifl, n killed, wounded and prisoners. This
attack was not so severe as that on Cheatham.
Clebunsc and Walkw.
Prisoners captured yesterday state that the
bridges are being destroyed, aud the railrond track
torn np continually in the enemy's rear, "but that
they do not know b;r whatcommund this is being
done.
Gold Still going l p.
On the 20th gold sras quoted "in New York at
19-, on tlic 23d it went to 22."., and finally closed at
2s. These extraordinary fluctuations in the gold
market indicate, with miering certaiuty, a great
lack of confidence in the military opcrntions now
going on. Our news from Petersburg direct, is
only up to the 20th, the day on wliiej the quota
tion was 1!H, bnt it was then very evident that
(i rant's army was effectually checked. If any
battle occurred between that time and Thursday,
the 23d, on which day gold went to the unprcceu
figare of 225, we have no information of it add the
Yankee dispatches furnish no account. We are,
therefore,' led to believe that no battle occurred,
and that the excitement in the gold market was
produced by a belief, daily strengthening, that
(Irant hod r;ot hhnsrlf and his army into a position
in which nothing Important could be accomplish
ed, and that the campaign against Richmond was
a failure. Tbe prediction of Mr. Chase, tiiat
without military success all financial measures
must fail, is being suddenly realised, and we see
the verification in ".he excitement in the money
market-
Those solemn-looking figures, giving the price
of gold as compsred to greenbacks, tf 11 us plainer
than words could do, that the taith of the Yankee
nation in their go remment, and in its ability to
conquer us, is breaking down. The lying dis
patches of (Irani and Sher'sn will weigh but lit
tle with the masses against such startling facts as
an advance of 27 cents in the Value of gold in the
spaceof three day b. For they begin to sec the
dark wing of bankruptcy already overshadowing
them and all their national interests.
At the same time that greenbacks are going
down, Confederate money is rapidly advancing at
Memphis, and is now worth 21 cents. But a few
months ago it could be purchased for 5 cents in
the same city. Tbe se ate all cheerful and encour
aging indications.
A Word for Mr. Memmlnger.
We take the following from tbe Richmond Kn
quirer on Monday. We have no doubt there is a
good deal of truth in it says the Wilmington Jour
nal. Tbe amoua'; of praise or blame really at
(aching to Mr. Memmingor is necessarily small, as
be eon M do so more than carry oat tbe legislation
of Congress, for which be en hardly be held re
sponsible, or if reiponsible at all, only so in a very
slight degree, slnei Congress seldom or never acted
upon his recommendations :
W!tever new Hcas this war way have developed
in military science, the history ef paper money b
not been in the luest altered by the experience of
the Confederacy. The same results have been de
monstrated by thn Confederacy that attended our
Revolutionary fat hers If not to the same extent,
yet to as great degree, if time and circumstances
are considered. Confederate notes, continental cur
rency, and French asignats, have all the same
history, because lafluenced by the same general
causes, and whenever and wherever these causes
operate they will produce the same effects.
The resignaUoii of Mr. Mcmmiuger, Secretary
of the Treasury, "will set is the least modify or
improve these results. As he did not produce them.
so his resignation will not improve theto. No suc-
cessor that he can have wiil bring to the public
service more untiring exertion, more eesl and de
votion, or arrester ability In tbe ase of the means
orovt'lexl htaa by the Congress. The sabttantia
wealth of tbe eountry has not been impaired If lie
rarrcsey, nor exhausted by aiy action of the Tree
mry Department; but as tbe illicit rams of heart
less extortion aid immoral speculation melted
awar. it was to be expected that unmerited eensore
and wndervi obloquy would be leveled St the
ostensiLIe cause f all tbe loss.
The Conrrets made the notes, the Congers in
creased the not i, and tbe Congress failed to pro
vide lor their reduction or redemption. Without
tax&ticn to ret am the notes to the treasury, sn-1
without ether earrenoy to support aad Maintain
the war, it was impossible for toe amoant of notes
not to increase, ind just as equally impossible to
prevent their depreciation and the consequent rise
or prices.
All this was the work of the Congress, and not
of Mr. Mejam-nrert and whatever may he said of
the recoramendiitioBs of tbe Secretary, as they
were never regarded or sdoptcd by the Congress,
he should not be held accountable for the re'ults of
legislation that he did no recommend, and which
he was obliged to execute. A people disappointed
in their expectations are not likely to do justice
but whn the cooler head of the historian comes to
- chronicle the financial history or this war, the hou-
est seal, the faithful 'labor and devotion to the
'cease shown bv Mr. Metnmiarer will and their re.
ward, end the e so see tbat have produced the pre.
seat condition f Confederate finances, their pro
per estimate.

During osir lmprisoamoni st, Point Lcekont, er
rjr primner was brought before an offlcer, and had
surer questions propoanded, bins, among which
was, " Do you wish to take the oath of allegiance,'
which caused me to write thesn lines:
sis rTsIt tin the War, Love, Is ever.
They ask me to desert my land,
Iu history and glory,
Whose faith is penned sablimely grand,
In thrilling epw story
Wbosa strength is written en ploefbtd plains,
By war's red, fiery fingnr,
Vi here crushing battle shocks and stains
Of carnage ever linger.

They ask. see to desert my land, I

Bright names that fondest hopes hare fanned
Bright heroes thai will save ns ;
Johnston, Longetreet, Ptuort, too.
From them they would me sever,
And in my country's dIimmI imbue
My heads I answer never!
Deer land, loved land, thou art my homo forever.
They ask me to desert my land,
My bannor proud and fosrless.
And ebargi no more witb blade In hand.
Betide the brave and fearless
Though battle clouds, 'mid fir and shell
Fair freedom's land defending.
And hear a despot's djlnt knell,
Witb shouts of viotor.r Jduli"- - ' -Dear

. Affix a traitor's deed and brand
Upon my name forever.
They do not knos the hcrt that bents
Bcnoath my bosom swelling
I'd rather, in my winding sheets,
Sleep in my last clay dwelling.
Dear land, loved land, thou art m f home forever.
Tbcy ask me to desert my land,
To which my life is given,
Aud make my spirit fear to stand
Within the courts of Heaven.

Amid the shock of battle
My arm shall strike to set thee free.

From tbe Fsyettevillo Observer.
The sudJcn and unanimous vote ot the
House of Representatives nf the United
States, a few wocka ngo, (hat the Monroe
Joctrino would bo adhered to ripen rs not to

State intrigue between Lincoln's and Napo
leon's government in supervision of that dtc
torial pretension of the Tinted States Con
gress, nt the suggestion, of lircsiJcnt Monroe
that no foreign power should bo allowed to
interfere in any manner with tho internal
policy or government of any nation on this
Continent. There was in this tinquastion
ably, a good deal ot bully ism, mount to deter
the powers of Kuropo from nny attempt of the
kind. And yet the big bully was persuaded
of his power, so full Yf the idea that he could
whip the world in arm, "that it has always
been a question whether he would not really
hare acted up to tho declaration if the emer
gency had arisen. At all events tho bully
frightened all tho' world till our civil war
ooraenced, when Napoleon, apparently bet
ter comprehending its gigantic proportions
and long duration than oven the parties to it,
seized the opportunity t nettle some old
grudges ho had ag.tio.st Mexico. lie inva

European on its throne as Emperor all in
defiance of the Monroo doctrine.
between SotvarJ and his Minister in France,
that the latter was early instructed ""not to
provoke debate" with Franco on tho subioct,
lor the reason that tho United Stntes had its
bands full at homo. As the invasion pro
gressed Mr. Seward gently remonstrated, but
Sid not threaten. That did not stop Napole
on. And then Soward. in Sept., 1803, fair
ly and sojuarely backed out from tho Mon
roe doctrine, insisting that the U. S. had no
right nor disposition to intervene in the af
fairs of Mexico, either to establish or main
tain a government thcro "or to overthrow an
imperial or a foreign nn if Mexico chooses
to establish or accept it."
France thereupon asked n distinct recogni
tion of Maximilian's government by the U.
S., st.tting that she would leavu Mexico ns
soon as that was obtained, but would stnnd
by Maximilian until it was obtained. Mr.
Soward d eel i nod that for tho time, because
tbe war in Mexicti had not been ended, but
again said that tho U. S. would not interfere
with the decision of Mexico herself.
This wan in November last. Thon comes,
and in conscqucnco of Seward's abandon
ment of ths Monroe doctrine, tho resolution
most positively affirming that doctrine, which
was introduced by Mr. Winter Davis, of Ma
ryland," (an Cnctny to Lincoln) and passed
unanimously.
This presents a Tory serious stato of things.
Soward (or Lincoln) nnd the Congress are at
points. Tho former cannot satisfy Nnpoleon
without a recognition f Maximilian, and
cannot recognize Maximilian without of
fending Congress. Tho policy of deception
and temporizing is about to result in offend
ing all patties, and may. lend to a speedier
rupture than if a straightforward and manly
course had been pursued. .Soward is unable
even if he were willing, or even intended,
to make good -his promise to Napoleon. Not
only has the House of ll 'praentajivcs unan
imously interposed a veto, but tho Monroe
doctrine, in nil its fullness, is incorporated
in the platforms of both tho Fremont and
Lincoln Conventions, and will undoubtedly
form a plank in that of the Democrats to
meet next month.
Novel Plan or CouItsiiih. If tnarrUgc

At a wedding, recently celebrated, wero
present some twerrty-flve yonng persons, all
of them in a condition which, for various
reasons, they generally concurred in regard
ing as undesirable the "unengaged." (Jno
of tbe gentlemen of tbe psrty suspected the
prevalence among them of feelings that might
easily be exchanged for others indefinitely
more fixed and agreeable. Ho accordingly
proposed the choosing of a president, a per
son worthy of all confidence, whose doty
it should be to receive from each individual
a folded paper, inscribed with the name of
tho person handing it in, and aW with Jibe
name of another person of tbe other sex,
'Whom the first would bo willing to marry.
The president, in addition to the restraints
of his own sense of honor, was to be put un
der a solemn plodgs of eternal secrecy. All
relustog to avceede to the proposition were for
the time to leave the room. Tboso whese
choice was reciprocal, that is, whose papers
contained tho same two namat, were to be
privately informed, while the selections of
tbe other were to remain undisclosed.' The
result was tbat tbo trial was made ; all shar

and justly bcctne. ho is bnt the represen

vilest crime even hill disgraceful proclamation

the people of Massachusetts. Without having won,
or even fought a battle; bavins; signalized himself
ordy by tuurtloriiig defenceless men; having achiev
ed no triumphs save over women and children he

of New Orleans nnd Norfolk, be is tho favorito of
the Federal (lovcrninent which has approved every
aet of bis "administration, and which, to mark its
entire endorsement of his proceedings, has named
him, after his outlawry by llio Confederate Govcrn
nvjnt. Commissioner of Kxchanos. His acti urc
in complete accord with the spirit of the Adminis
tration which refuses to try tL'e assassin McNeil by
courf maitinl, which rc-inytated 'Furchin when dis

Tho Kuilt and shame which Kitsch to general
Butler bclons; to Abraham Linooln and to his min
isters; Ihey are one and all equally brutal, coward
ly, criminal and infamous. But it is hardly wrth
while to dwell upon (he infamy of men whom Ku
rorts has alreadv condemned, and whom even their
own countrymen avowedly regard with feelings
more akin te contempt lhan to confidence. What
is worthy of observation is the "significance of their
conduct as illustrating the spirit and intention or
the war." At llr.it wo were pvr-vcriiigly told that
the North wss fighting for Ihc restoration of the
Union, and nothing more; to liberate from scccs
tionixt tyrannv tbo loyal Unionists of the South,
and to bring tiio seoedod Stales back with thoir ftwn
consent, ns freo and equal Confederates. Next,
Knglish admirers of Lincoln assured us that the
war waa'wa:rod for the abolition of negro slavery,
while every captured negro was either mlii-ted as a
soldier or consigned to forced labor under some
Yankee squatter in Tennessee or Louiaiitua.
Finally, tho doiniuant iarty in Congress ownly
proclaimed the necessity of connutriiig the South.
But the proceeding of Federal tlcncrals the de

FnuM Rlissis.-irri. A correspondent of

and conversed with n gentl.qnan of high
standing, who lias just roturncd from the I
Yuzoo"Vallcy, und wIimsc word can bo relied 1
on, who states that tho Yankees, in their but !
raid, totally and most effectually dc$troved
everything that was in their way, laying
waste some of the finest plantations iu the
Confederacy, nnd maVing the rich section of
country which in tho good old timed nf yore,
was justly called the grannrv of Southwest
ern Mississippi, a barren wilderness.
A gentleman who has been on a trip a-
long the banks of the Mississippi river says J
that tho people in thut region arc yet tintain- j
fed by contract with our cnajny. They are .
quite loyal tu the cause of freedom, though ;
they trado to a considerable extent with tho 4
Yankees. Cotton is not being cultivated j
there any more than it is iu tho interior dis
tricts, though the inducmcuts are great.

This refers to tho new military law
wherein Quartermasters, Cominisinries &c.,
aro prohibited from employing men in their
departments capable of performing duties
in the field.

when she exclaims "out, d d Spot f" Spot
has too many intimnte friends. They bore

Ho has a badge, but the fleas don.t respect
that. When the dogs institute a federative
