WHAT IT BEANS.
The scccsii family North and South have al
ways worked In harmony as well as they
could tinder the circumstances. It is true
that there are times when they lose sight oi
each other and are mutually at fault as to
what they must do. Communication is apt
‘to*be interrupted; and the southern section
consequently arc in doubt what their breth
ren in our section mean by their movements;
while the Northern traitors arc unable to get
.their cue from the South.
The result has been some blundering on
gjfle. For instance, the Northern rebels
bare seen more clearly than the Southern the
hopelessness of their success by mere force
oi arms; and, have consequently been more
inclined to try for it by clamoring about
peace; wliflc the Southern have both overra
ted (heir own strength, and underrated ours,
and so been fiercely bent on war.
There was a while when the Northern reb
els talked fiercely about war also. But it
was mere talk for the aakc of effect, and for
a time it answered purpose; for it
elected Seymour, Governor of New York,
and came nigh revolutionizing the North,
7inf.il the real game was discovered. But that
was when they thought there was no danger
of ciying war, since McClellan commanded
ntlhc East, and Bncll at the West The cry
was a mere pretense, and meant no harm to
their houthern allies: but was intended to
aid them, by pretending to be terribly anx
ious to while they took good care not
to do it, nor to suficr It to be done. But the
two parties arc getting into a community of
understanding at lost, Fernando Wood is
the apostle oi peace at the North, and we
know how anxious ke is forpcacc because we
have read it in the “New Gospel by his
brother Ben,” and Fernando leads oil la 9ur
Congress in pathetic dissertation on 11 „• ;«ix
ietyofthc Southern brethren fori > • .aiue
thing. ** They arc this very day,” bed •lap*?,
** hunting about In their Congress, aee-wviully
as Diogenes hunted for a man with hfe lan
tern, at mid-day, to find that which Abe Lin
coln end has bloody followers w« not let
them have.”
And true enough, while Fernando talks
piously here, they talk saintly and sweet
down there at Richmond. This is their rcso-,
laUon introduced Into their House of Repre
sentatives:
Woebcas. The President of the United States, in
a late public communication did declare that no
proportion for peace bad been made to that Gor
eminent by the Confederate States* when in troth
such propoßliions were prevented from being made
hr the President, in that be refused to hear, or even
to receive, the Commissioners appointed to treat
cxprceelv of the preservation of amicable relations
between the two Governments; nevertheless, that
the Confederate States may stand Justified In the
sight of the conservative North of all parties, and
that the world may know which of the two Govern
ments it is that urges on a war, unparalleled for
fierceness of conflict and intensity of sectional hate,
unsurpassed in the annals of mankind; therefore.
Jfadted, That the Confederate States invite the
United Stales, through their Government at Wash
ington. to meet them by representatives equal to
their Representative* ana Senators in their respec
tive Congresses at on the day of next
—, to consider: Ist. Whether they can agree up
on the recognition of the Confederate States of
America: 2d. In the event of non-recognition,
whether they cannot agree upon the formation of a
new Government, founded on the equality and sov
crelgnlv of the States, but, if this cannot be done,
to consider, fid. Whether they cannot agree upon
treaties, offensive, defensive and commercial.
Who says cow that the rebels want war ?
or that anybody Is In the way of a most am
icable fraternization, but President Lincoln
and his party ?
And not only are Fernando and the Con
federate Congress as one, ns regards their de
sire, but as to the terms of peace. They
would not have the least difficulty iu coming
together. Fernando would give them all they
wnct; and it is a surly dog Indeed that will
insist on fighting when you give him his din
ner and yonrs too. They only want their
Confederacy recognized, and its independence
guaranteed, and they will subside. True they
say nothing now of boundaries. That might
be difficult to adjust—not with Fer
nando, but with the rest of the
country—especially with the stupid Lincoln
lies; but Fernando wouldn't growl even about
that. He would still give them all they want;
—and that is the line of the Ohio river, and
that of Northern Missouri to the Pacific.
Here they mention two alternatives; one
a reconstructed Government, “ founded on
the cqallty and sovereignty of the States ;”
which means slavery enthroned-as the Dagon
of a new republic, in which each State shall
be superior to all the rest, and wbaii in fact
govern all the rest!
The other proposition, of “ treaties offen
sive, defensive, and comm erclaV ’ we confess
we do not understand. But we suppose it
means, to stop fighting, at least for the pres
ent, till the South can take breath, and get
ready to go into it again, with the hope of
at a nimre u«y that -wlilufi
they see to be getting hopeless at the pres
ent.
It is not very likely that this resolution
'Will pass the rebel Congress. It is manifestly
thrown out for the benefit of their Northern
allies; that is, to give them something to
leorlt to, in the coming Presidential election.
The rebels sec the straits of the copperheads;
that they-are casting about desperately for
some ground to stand on. Their hope is all
but solely on their Northern allies. This is
meant lor than ; and if they can succed, by
hook or crook, In ousting Lincoln, the South
cmConfcderocy deems Itself secure, Thus
Fernando Wood and Jeff Davis are really but
one party. If war can pnt down the United
States Government, then It is war; bat if
stratagem and palaver., arc better for
that end, then will all their tongues roll off
honey as so many molasses gates in a retail
grocery. Hilton’s Satan could talk fierce
when confronted by one great enough to awe
him ; but cowed “ squat like a toad,” at the
ear of the sleeping Eve. They will alijwant
plenty of watching.
STEEL SAXES FOB BAEZ.HOAVS.
Considerable attention has been excited in
railroad circles, among stockholders as well
as managing officers, to a statement publish
ed in the last Annual Deport of the Pennsyl
vania .Railroad Company, referring to the
rapid destruction of iron rails, under the in
creasing pressure of heavier engines, and the
necessity of substituting steel rails for iron.
"When that road was first constructed the rails
were of the best refined iron, from selected
ores. The rapiu increase of railways depend
ed somewhat upon a redaction in the cost of
rails,'hence an inferior quality of iron was
adopted, and to such an extent has this cheap
Iron come into use, that none of our rail
mills have uowthc particular kind of fnmnc.f»V
requisite for making the refined iron refer
red to. According to the report of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, at the termini and sta
tions in some places, the iron rolls do not last
six mouths. '
Railroads, as the great iron arteries of the
country, upon which depends tbe very life
and success of travel, trade and commerce,
are dally more fully appreciated, and their
reliability and durability are made a matter
of serious consideration. In Europe the in
veatigations'lntb the matter, have led to the
adoption of rails cither mode wholly of steel
or capped with steel, and experiments show
that cast steel rails will last fully ten times os
long as iron. A thorough test made upon the
Derby and Midland road. Where iron rails last
only from six to seven months, at stations,
the cast steel rail has lasted as many years,
and promises to serve for four or five years
yet, the only ebange produced being the ac
tual wearing off the top of the rails, os steel
does not laminate or split.
A letter dated “ Cammell & Co.’s Cyclopps
Works, Sheffield, Feb. 0, 1804,” to their
American agent, Philip S. Justice, Thila,
says: “ With respect to steel rails, we can
only say that all the railway companies are
using them; the London and Northwestern
Company arc laying down several thousand
tons, and the other lines are going largely
Into them. Wc have now on order for 730
tons for the India Peninsular Rail *ay, and
they speak of duplicating the order before
this is completed. We have likewise scut
largely to France. Indeed, on this side of
the water, yon can scarcely name a railway
which is not using them to some extent”
In this country, the reformation has begun
—a revolution which is destined to do more
to improve railway travelling than any other
of recent date—has been begun by the Penn*,
sylvania Central Railroad Company, which
has procured, by way of beginning, 159 tons
of nils made wholly oi cast steel, and Is also
giving a trial to the steel-capped rails. The
Beaver Meadow Ballroad—a coal road, Is also
laying down steel rail. We apprehend that
6tcel-capped rails will not give satisfaction—
while the contraction and expansion* in an
iron mil is considerable, that ol a steel rail
is vciy little —so slight as to be hardly per
ceptible. Hence the steel-capped rails
will be liable to -separation from this effect,
as well as from the vibration which will have
a tendency to loosen the weld.
At present these sled rails arc manufac
tured only in England, but there ore agencies
in country where they can he procured.
Howevcf, the Pennsylvania Central Kall
road Company’s Beport speaks of the prob
able necessity of that company erecting
works to make the quality of rail desired, and
now that capital is abundant, we submit
whetheritisnot a subject worthy the con
sideration of capitalists that works be erected
in this section for supplying the Northwest
There is not a' donbt but all the rails of a su
perior quality that may be manufactured
will find a ready market, as our railroad com
panies are all doing a prosperous business,
and are able and anxious to make subst oolial
improvements.
The next question’ ol interest. Is as to th c
relative cost of Iron and steel rails. We
make the following gold estimate of the rel
ative cost oi Iron and Cast-steel rails, In a
period of ten years, when used in stations,
depots, Ac., taking one year as the average
Hie of iron rails before re-rolling, and tea
years for the cast-steel rails:

AN IMPORTANT MEASURE
A Washington dispatch says that
44 Representative Pendleton’s bill, to permit heads
ot departments to occupy scats on the floor of the
Donee, and require them to answer questions, ex
cites ranch comment, and is paining favor with ail
parties. The select committee having this matter
in charge is composed of some of the ablest men in
the Douse—Stevens, Mallory. Pendleton, Morrill,
Hasson, Gan son and Blaine. They are considering
the question, and it is understood that a majority
are decidedly in favor of the plan. It is a bold, de
cided movement, and it is conceded that it will be a
greater check on corruption and mismanagement of
public afloirs than any bill introduced for many
years.”
This Is copying the English custom so far
os applicable. The members of the British
Cabinet are ollowcd not only seats but votes
in Parliament. There can he no question
hut if the members of the American Cabi
net were allowed to occupy seats on the
floor of Congress, answer questions, make
explanations, and offer suggestions, it would
greatly promote legislation, and prevent a
vast amount of misunderstanding and mis
representation. We are decidedly in Civor of
the bill, believing that great proposed practi
cal good will flow from its adoption. At all
events it will do no harm to give the propo
sition a fair trial If it docs not work well
the law can easily be repealed. We hope it
may pass, that the experiment may be intro
duced.
Proof Direct.
Gen. Gantt of Arkansas, has been the sub
ject of fierce abuse in the Copperhead jour
nals, for which wc were unable to account
until wc casually observed that, in speiklng
for the Union cause at Harrisburg some
weeks since, he made the following state
ment:
lie said that, after bis capture by the Union for
ces (he was a General in the rebel service) at Island
No. 10, he was brought North to this State as a
prisoner of war, and declared that prominent Dem
ocrat* ’of Pennsylvania then conferred with him
and assured him that if the rebels would hold out a
little longer, they wonldbe successful; for the Dem
ocrats of the North would arrest the war by defeat
ins the conscription and otherwise rendering the
Administration powerless to prosecute It, And he
added, with withering emphasis, “lean give yon
the names if what 1 say is disputed.” A number
of the Democratic members of the Legislature were
present, but they did not dare to question the state
ment, or call for names. He said the Democrats of
the North advised them to war, promised to come
to their assistance, and then left them alone In the
struggle and confined themselves to cowardly, per
fidious, stealthy assaults upon their own Govern
ment. He said that, instead of Northern Demo
crats coming to their assistance, the soldiers of the
Union came in overwhelming force and conquered
them: “but,” said he, “ they brought government
with them and rescued ns from a tyranny more ter
rible than death.”
Is there a candid man of any party who
docs not feel that this story is true ? And
does any one doubt that this truth is the real
Impulse to the attacks on Gen. Gantt by those
who, while he was a rebel, never visited upon
him one unkind word?
the debate in Congress, last Satur
day, Representative Dcmlng, of Connecticut,
, spoke with - a logic, eloquence, and
compactness, that surprised and impressed
the House. His words of bitterness were
only for Copperheads. When he concluded,
the Republicans crowded around-him with
congratulations, and subscribed on the spot
to his speech by thousands of copies, for
campaign circulation. He was followed by
Frank Blair, in a harangue that has left the
most painful impression of any partisan
speech delivered upon the floor of the House
for votra. He denounced the Missouri Radi
cals, attacked Winter Davis and bis Maryland
policy, assailed and condemned the lowa Re
publicans for urging Gen. Schofield's removal,
attacked Speaker Colfax for stowing him
away on unimportant committees. Although
he has a place upon the military and private
land claims, he ran through the crowd
of tried and trusted Republicans by
a denunciation of Secretory Chose as
corrupt in office, a charge which he
had the truculent audacity to say he held
himself responsible for as a soldier, a gentle
man, and a representative. The most re
markable thing In the speech, and that which
left behind its painful impression, was the
assumption throughout the whole of it, that
the speaker was the President’s champion,
and that he spoke in his Interests, which as
sertion is os shamelessly impudent as It is no
toriously false.

Whether yon or the editors of the Staat*-Zeitung

to the office I still hold, by this election bought np
my independent political views, my manhood, my
convictions of rightand wrong, and thus made me

IDE WAR IN MISSISSIPPI.
GENERAL SMITH’S GREAT CAVALRY
EXPEDITION.
Details of the Advance andEeturn,
[From Oar Special Correspondent.]
Cabo, Feb. 29,18 M.
Some particulars of the late expedition of
Gen. William S. Smith, lately returned to
Memphis, have already been published. Gen.
Smith in person arrived here last evening.
His official report to the military authorities
will undoubtedly set forth the following
facts:
The expedition moved from Memphis on
Thursday, the 11th inst,some seven thousand
strong, Brig. Gen. Wm. Sooy Smith in com
mand, the purpose being to clear the country
of struggling rebel forces, and if possible,
create a diversion In favor of Gen. Sherman,
with whose rear it was thought the cavalry
expedition might in dne season communi
cate. It was stated that the enemy were
posted in force beyond the Tallahatchie, and
that they would determinedly resist the Fed
eral advance. After two days’ heavy march
ing,. the expedition reached the Tallahatchie.
A brigade of infantry temporarily attached to
the expedition, under command of Colonel
McMillen, was sent forward and threatened
Panola, and afterwards to Wyatt for a simi
lar purpose. The move was successful.
The infantry attracted the attention and the
forces of the enemy to these points, when
Gen. Smith, swung his cavalry aronnd and
to New Albany, whence he crossed without
firing a shot He then pushed boldly for
ward to a point near the Pontotoc, in the vi
cinity of Houston, where he encountered
some State Confederate troops under
the command of Gholson, numbering near
6,000. They stampeded at his approach,
throwing away their arms as they ran. Gen.
Smith pursued them hotly and until he
reached Houlka Swamp, where he found the
enemy concentrated in heavy force, holding
a corduroy road, the only one across the
Swamp. This conld not be turned cither to
the right or to the left, so Smith’s whole
force was moved rapidly to the eastward,
while a heavy demonstration was made on
the front, os though he intended to force a
passage over the road. The enemy were
again deceived, and our forces fell back, upon
Okalono. This was on Monday, the 15th
Inst, The attack upon Okalona was so little
expected that several confederate officers, at
home on visits to their families, were cap
tured. Some of them were finely mounted.
The 9th Illinois regiment of cavalry, Lt. Col.
Burgh commanding, was then sent ont to
Sheridan to endeavor to secure a crossing of
tbe Tombigbce. On the next morning Hep
baurn’s brigade, commanded by Gen. Grier
son in person, was sent ont to snpport tbe
9th regiment, and at Aberdeen, with direc
tions to threaten Columbus strongly. With
the remaining two brigades, Gen. Smith
swept down the railroad toward West Point,
tearing up the railroad completely as he ad
vanced, and also burning all the com he
found. There were vast quantities of this,
cribbed and ready for transportation. The
amount destroyed could not be much less
than two million bushels, and was possibly
much greater. Two thousand bales of cot
ton were also devoted to the flames. Daring
this portion of the march negroes flocked to
Gen. Smith by hundreds and thous
ands, mounted on their masters’
horses and mules, with bridles
and saddles of the most primitive description.
They welcomed Gen. Smith as their deliverer
whenever he met them. “God bless ye,
has ycr come at lust, we’ve been lookin’for
you for a long time, and had almost done
gone give it up,” was the cry of mauy.
They bid farewell to their wives and children
and marched in the van.
Hearing that the enemy was concentrated
in heavy force at West Point, the Brigade at
Aberdeen was called over by a forced march
to the line on the railroad at a station fifteen
miles north of West Point, while the main
force moved down upon West Point, Two
miles north of that place Smith came upon a
brigade of the enemy drawn np in line of
battle to receive him. This was on Wednes
day, the 17th Inst., at about Bp. m. Our for
ces charged in t in a gallant style and alter a
sharp engagement of some fifteen minutes
duration, drove the enemy back, through the
town, Into the Suchatoncha Swamp, on the
right. Skirmishing continued on the border
of the swamp during the remainder ot the
evening until dark. Meanwhile the whole
Federal force was being brought forward
into position. Through- bis scouts, General
Smith, ascertained that the enemy was upon
his front in.powcrful force, that he held every
one of the crossings of the swamp on his
right and on the line of the Octibbeha in the
front He was confined on the left by the
Tomblgbee, which it was Impbsiblc to cross.
His force was heavily encumbered with the
pack trains, horses, mules captured, to
the number ot full three thousand, and
an equal number of negroes. These he
felt obliged to protect and it took such a
heavy guard force as to reduce the effective
fighting force near'y one-half, leaving him
powerless to drive the enemy so strong in
numbers before him. and who had taken np
a strong position that ho could better defend
with musketry and rill emeu than Smith could
attack with only light carbines, his horses
being useless on the marshy ground occu
pied. There was little Ume for speculation.
The position was Imminent. Gen. Smith did
the best he could under the circumstances.
He made a strong demonstration upon the
rebel center, and while sharp fighting was
going on drew all his encumbrances and the
main portion of his force rapidly back toward
Okolona, covering his rear with a well organ
ized force which iought the enemy from every
line of concealment that off'ered on their back
ward march. The enemy pursued in force,
and mode desperate attempts to overwhelm
me rearguard, but without success. They
also failed in attacking the main force in
flank, which they several times essayed, but
were as often foQcd. All their best maneu
vers were thus handsomely checkmated, and
Gen. Smith soon had the fighting all in his
own way until he reached Okolona. At liiia
place, alter the pursuing force bad been three
limes repulsed in a most brilliant manner by
.the 4th U. S. rcgnlir Infantry alone, a whole
brigade was sent to support the 4th, and was
thrown into confusion by a stampede of the
• 2d Tennessee cavalry, Lieut. Col. Cook, who
bad fifty men killed in all, and was himself
mortally wounded. In the precipitate flight
from the field of this force a battery of email
howitzers —six guns of Perkins 1 Illinois bat
tery—were run off of the road into a ditch
where the carriages were so badly smashed
up thot they were unable to get them offi and
they fell into the enemy’s hands. All the
ammunition of the battery was destroyed,
all the harness cut, carriages destroyed, guns
spiked, and horses saved.
It was with the greatest difficulty that this
uncalled-for panic could he broken and order
restored. Organized forces were thrown to
the rear as quickly as possible and the ad
vance of the enemy handsomely checked.
From crest to crest of the hills the fighting
was resumed and continued for over ten
miles with the utmost determination on both
sides. Having readied Ivy Farm, a splendid
place, it was Immediately taken possession of
and a large force deployed, a battery placed
iu position, and the whole field cleared for
action. The enemy advanced into the open
field, and the whole strength of our artillery
was opened upon them at short range with
killing effect, supported by a fall lino of car
. bines firing upon the dismounted troops.
■When their line was shaken a pxllant charge
was made upon their center and on the right
by mounted men. This maneuver was per
formed in handsome style, the enemy were
swept backward at every point, and so com
pletely scared that they made no further at
tack, In force, upon Smith’s men, though
they followed up at a respectful distance
until he crossed the Tallahatchie.
Gen. Smith succeeded in bringing off alibis
captured stock, pack trains, negroes and
other spoils, having performed a march of
over sixty miles without, rest Oar loss Is
reported as hvaingbeen light, tbe heaviest
being In tbe 4th Regulars, which lost thirty
live. There were quite a number of our men
captured while straggling, catching chickens
and performing acts not legitimately in the
line of their duty.
In summing up, Gen. Smith speaks in the
highest terms of tbo conduct of Gen. Grier
son. Where danger was most imminent
there was Grierson. The fighting of the
whole Second Brigade, under Lieut CoL
Hepburn, of the 2d. lowa Cavalry, was excel
lent. Theirs, with that of the 4th Regulars,
under Capt Bowman, was beyond all praise.
The Second Brigade is composed of the 2d
lowa, 6tb; 7th and Oth Illinois Cavahy. Gen.
Smith mentions with gratitude the bravery
ofthe 73d Indiana (mounted infantry), sth
Kentucky Cavalry and 4th Missouri Cavalry,
all of which commands behaved themselves
nobly on all occasions.
Forrest in this fight, or series of fights, had
four brigades of cavalry and mounted infan
try, reinforced by Gbofson’s State troops, 600
strong, and, it is said, a portion of Lee’s com
mand. His total force when at West Point
was ovcr # 5,000. This did not include the
troops stretched along the Octlbbeha on the
left and front, and the troops back of the
Suchatoncha swamp on the right.
Forrest boosted that he bad Gen. Smith
ust where lie wonted him, and that tbe peo
ple had no need to fear thut he would ever
advance any further South. The latter part
of his boost for the present only bolds good.
Gen. Smith’s expedition returned to Mem
phis after just fourteen days’ absence, having
made a march out and back of about 850
miles, with the results above set forth.

What lam about to communicate I know
to be a fact to which good fortune has cu

ssked what would be the consequence if a

‘•lt would,” said he, “be bad for the bulk”
On Saturday last you may have observed,
that the Confederate Cotton Loan, after long
prostration, went up to the figure of 50.
What was tbc cause of It ? Just this:
When it was at its lowest, the Rebel agents
here, and anew company, got up for the pur
pose, bought up the bonds for their own
profit and a final venture. ’ They believe tJuit
the UtLfllion U goiim to coUattse, and like rats,
have determined to quit thc sinking vessel,
securing at once their own safety and as
much plunder aspofieihlc. Accordingly,they
have purchased two Brltlsh-hullt steamers,
one a fast side-wheel boat that can go 18 inllcs
an hour. Four days ago tiifo vessel was at
Falmouth, taking in coal, intending to start
on thc morrow. She Is commanded by the
notorious Maffil. and has on board tiason,
Slidell, their secretaries, Enstis and Maefar-
Innd, Mfiury, Dudley Mann, and a number ol
ladles. The first destination of the steamer
Is Bermuda, now the rendezvous ofthe block*
a de-runners, where probably some of her
passengers will disembark and await the' rest
of the venture in safety to their prccions
selves. Mason and Blidcll will, however,risk
running the blockade into some rebel port
They take with them an immense quantity of
Confederate bonds (purchased cheaply, os

raised by the English Company, at the bead
of which is the firm of Isaacs, Campbell &

Knoxville, Tcnn., Fcby, si, 1864.
Everything tends to indicate that an early
attack is apprehended by the authorities.
Strong rcconnoitering forces of cavalry went
out yesterday in the direction of Strawbcny
Plains, and up the river. Large workingpar
tics of soldiers and negroes arc engaged night
and day strengthening the fortifications and
throwing redonbts on the east side of the
town beyond Temperance Hill and along the
river hank. All advantageous points arc
being planted with artillery, and the country
around is studded with encampments. Up
wards of sixty prisoners were brought in
yesterday—amongst them some Indians. All
concur in stating that Longstrect Intends to
attack us. His communications with Eastern
Virginia are complete, and ho is now proba
bly reinforced. But we have been reinforced
also; and our facilities for obtaining men
and material are excellent.
Not having anything else of interest to
communicate I send you a roster of the 4th
army corps, which Is a very strong command
under Major Gen. Gordon Granger, and con
sists chiefly of regiments In which your
readers feel an interest Most of it Is now
here. It will figure extensively in the ap
proaching struggle. The Ist division of the
23d corps is on the way from Kentucky, and
will soon he here to join the other divisions
of that corps. Alarmists predict a “big
fight 1 * in a short time. The rebels arc bring
ing their heavy siege guns along with them.

Knoxville. Torn., Feb. 24,1834.
The spring campaign is now commenced in
reality. The enemy has retreated from his
late menacing position, and is harrying to
wards North Carolina by way of Bull’s Cap.
After allowing him to get a good start, our
troops are ordered to follow up. It is proba
ble that the sudden departure of the rebels
is caused by the news of the destruction of
several bridges in their rear, by means of
which communication with their base of sup
plies becomes endangered. They have been
apprehensive of each a disaster for some
time, and the news Is therefore likely to be
correct. We can now act in direct concert
with our troops at Cumberland Gap andkeep
onr lines straight and strong.
The whole army—except a force adequate
to the protection of the place—ls moving out
Some regiments, though in good spirits, look
war-worn and dirty. Their flags and uni
forms delight not the eye os in former times.
The storm of battle nos passed over them
and tbclr beauty is gone. Toe weather Is now
genial and spring-like, and the little shelter
or “dog” tents will soon introduce the sol
dier to active campaigning. In a few more
weeks wc shall have grass, which will
bd a great boon to oar miserable animals.
The country is now completely “foraged
out;” and corn in great quantities is brought
In on the railroad from a distance. The dis
trict recently occupied by the rebels lies be
tween the llolston and the French Broad
Rivers, and is the richest in East Tennessee;
but when wc get up there we shall find noth
ing left for man or beast Hence the neces
sity of safe and rapid communication with
our base of supplies; something which hasty
fireside warriors never consider. (I wish
such men bad the nice little job of conduct
ing a train loaded with supplies across the
Cumberland mountains, and about a score of
wsgons were to break down on their hands.)
It was for this very reason that East Tennes
see. though known to be suffering,was appar
ently neglected so long. The mountain
transportation was too precarious to be re
lied upon; and not until the circnltous, but
practicable railroad and river communica
tions were secured by the possession of mid
dle Tennessee could the occupation of the
eastern part of the State be attempted with
safety. -
Peter Longstrcct is now making “tall
licks ” into Virginia or North Carolina, and
wc arc following at a respectful distance.
Troops from tbt south side arc still marching
through town, though our advance is far
beyond Strawberry Plains.
The bridge over the river here is complet
ed.
A spy of tbe name of Hlncky Is under sen
tence to be Lung next Friday—an unlucky
day for him. lie deserted from the rebels,
and took tbo oath of allegiance, and bas since
been acting the vile part of a perjured traitor
and a spy. One of these whitewashed hypo
crites abused an old Union man on the street
yesterday, using very insulting language,
when a big bony Tennessee Captain came to
the rescue, and bandied the “Southern man”
to the satisfaction of everybody, and the pros
tration of several.* The “Southernman” is
in the guard house.
Reliable intelligence has just been received
that a party of citizens, under Major Kirk,
who started from this place about a week
ago, burnt the bridges in the rear of the
enemy, and that the presence of (Gen. Sedg
wick’s sixth Army Corps) In his rear, induced
the rapid and sadden retreat of Longstreet.
He has left an engine and cars at Strawberry
Plains, and his supply train, and camp and
garrison equipage. -His only way of escape
is through or over the Smolcy mountains of
North Carolina. Thirteen hundred deserters
nre on their way to this place. They confirm
the reports, and state that they are heartily
sick of the war. It will be remembered that
your correspondent mentioned the approach
of the Sixth Army Coros In a previous letter.
Our army Is now In full pursuit, and if our
advantage be well followed up, demoraliza
tion ana desertion will result to the rebels
to a degree approaching that of their losses,
from the same cause in the Georgia fhmtlcr.
Though the Railroad bridge at London is
not yet built, travel Is continuous from this
place to Chattanooga—the trains connecting
at the river. We receive Louisville papers
on the fourth day from that 'of publication,
and Nashville papers a day later. The Knox
ville W/tfy “ ventilates” rebel atrocities and
its vindictiveness every Saturday. This feel
ing is excusable to some extent, but will not
heal old wounds, or make new friends.—

Knoxville was a beautiful and attractive
place before the war; but now the shade
trees and shrubbery, the majestic cedars and
the stolcly oaks—once the ornament of this
picturesque city,—have disappeared forever!
The smooth sideu of these sunny hills ate
gored with long red gashes; and their lofty
tops are no longer graced with the cver-green
plumes. Their beauty Is marred; their glory
is gone 1 The elegant mansions in the sub
urbs are now only noted by black and crumb
ling walls. The tasteful garden and door
yard fences with flower beds on(L bushes, —
once the joy and pride of many u household,—
arc now', alas, utterly destroyed. When shall
there again be “ beauty for ashes and the oil of
joy for mourning?” W. H. B.
Tbe 2d Illinois Cavalry Veterans*
The veterans of tbe 2d Illinois cavalry took
their departure homeward, from New Orleans,
on the 15th. The Era of the nest day con
tains a long and highly complimentary sketch
of the services of the regiment, and an ac
count of. the leave-taking at the Crescent
City. The occasion drew a large concourse,
and was made additionally interesting by a
feeling address by Major Marsh, of that regi
ment, who, and other officers and soldiers of
the command, await their torn to revisit
home on furlough. At the New Orleans
levee the troops were unexpectedly and cor
dially addressed by their old corps comman

The Legislature of Virginia received some
months ago a report by Auditor Bennett, of
the number of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs
remaining in the counties still within the
rebel lines. This report shows howseverely
the war has borne upon Virginia; in the case
of every animal but the sheep there has been
a decrease in numbers. In February, 1830,
there were 207,888 h0r5e5,501,567 head of cat*
tie, 489,912 head of sheep, and 933,758
hogs; in February, 1863, there were 181, 804
horses, 496,831 head of cattle, 54LSQ4 sheep,
and 770,503 hogs. In three years Ibis region,
including the Valley, and the secluded south
west, which was not touched by armies with
in the period of time covered by Mr. Ben
net’s report, had lost, over and above the
natural increase, 26,033 horses, 64,740 ho id of
cattle, and 153,256 bogs. It had gained 71,403
sheep. The Richmond Euquinrr, discussing
these tables, hopefully said: ,
** We may, without error, safely assert that in
February, 1&4, there will be one hundred thousand
horses, four hundred thousand cattle, five honored
thousand hogs; and as sheep have Increased near
ly fifteen per cent we will put them down at five
hundred and filly thousand. 1 ’
At this rate Jeff. Davis could not carry on
war in Virginia twenty years, as he once as
serted. Ho has used up the substance of the
State too fast It is frightful to think of the
falling-off in the number of cattle and
horses, in so extensive a region as Virginia
within the rebel lines. In four years nearly
fifty per cent of the horses and about thirty
per cent of the cattle have been destroyed,
besides the Increase of the stables and herds
during that period I With the rate of increase
diminished in proportion to the loss, and the
same rate of consumption maintained, it
would need but a few years to deprive Vir
ginia entirely of horses and catUc. Already
the agricultural operations are interfered
with by the lack of draught cattle.— N. Y,

Large Suuoierts of Gold.—The New York Times
has the following:
It has been rrmored by telegraph from San Francisco
tlmt two shipments ofgold, amounting to 12,000,000 and
IXCOXCO respectively, have recently been made from the
San Francisco Treasury office, supposed for transfer to
New York. "Wc have reason to suppose that a dltterent
disposition has been made of these large balances, and
If shipped for Government account, the probability is
that they have been directed to the London bankers of
the Government, Mecsrs. Baring Brothers, either for
the purchase of armaments, or to be drawn against
from New York. The difference In the Treasury, be
tween tbe premium on bills on London and the value of
the gold m currency if Bold here, is »ot so mate
rial cither way as tho importance of avoiding
the danger from privateers in tbe Carribean Sea or
Golf of Mexico. Besides, the direct accumulation of
gold In the New York office is already over twenty
millions ahead of the demands for interest on the
public debt, with the project of a farther large ac
accumulation before the May coupon on the Popular
Loan can be reached, unless Mr. Boutwelrs propo
sition in Congrers to anticipate tbo Interest payments
should be adopted, la place of selling part of tbe pres
ent surplus or gold lor larcstmenf to the Sinking
Fund, something of the kind shonld be done at an
early day, as we could scarcely expect that the pres
ent limited export demand for cold will continue very
long; unices ihe orders from the other side to buy tho
Government Stocks, or to leave New lorfc balances
temporarily employed In them, should materially in
crease.

Legal Tender Notes and tbclr Constitution
ality.
Some weeks since the District Coart at Pbiladel
pbla had before It two cases. In which tbe constlta
tlouallty of the act of Congress of Februa
ry 25,1562, making United States notes a legal tender,
was involved. In one ofthe eases the party bad of
tered legal leader notes in payment of a mortgage,
and tbe money was refused and the party cited Into
court. On Saturday, Judges Hare acd Stroud deliv
ered the majority opinion ofthe court, atfirmlng that
the tender of the United States notes was legal, inas
much as Congrc.-f, under theconstitntlon, giving pow
er to regulate* commerce, bad authority to pass tho
act of February 2>, 1863. ' 1
Judge Stroud, In bis opinion, held that even the au
thority granted In the constitution to “ declare war,"
carried with it all the Incidents of such grant of pow
er ; and as money was ono ofthe most important ele
ments of strength, the Government mast have autho
rity to declare what shall pass os legal tender. The
debates In the Convention which framed the constlta
tton were referred to In snpport of the views enter
tained by the majority of tne coart.

The bonds and conpons being made payable to bear*
- cr, they pass by mere delivery, and no assignment Is
necessary to enable the holder to ane.
The contract being made In Ohio, to be executed In
New York, and by the laws of both thosa States, each
a contract being an original undertaking, In order to
maintain an action on the guarantee It ta not ncees*
rary for the holder to sue the County of Allegheny in
the first Instance, or pursue It to Insolvency; nor is
any demand or notice required.
The Coarts of the United States receive the statutes
and jut iclal precedents of the different States as cvl
; dcnce of ihc law of each State without special plea or

Glasgow, Feb. 10,1361.
Since the dnto ot our last we have had keen froat,
which shows every appearance of continuance. The
Imports during the reek are liberal of all articles,
with tbe exception of Indian corn, of which them Is
little.The firm tone and speculative Inquiry oxperlea
ccd by the trade on Ibis day week, cave way on Fri
day to a reeling of quietness, and in the absence of
demand, prices have since gradually given wav for
wheat nod flour, and tbo advance or list Wednes
day has been In a great measure lost; on that day, one
or two sales of Milwaukee wheat are reported
22s fld to 2Ss p 510 lbs, but since then same Wheat has
been sold at Zts. The extremely critical position ot
continental affairs, and the possibility of complica
tions yet arising which may necessitate our giving
material asslt-Uoco to Denmark, causes hollers of
granarlea parcels of Wheat to evince great flrmneas.
and tbe redaction quoted above has been principally
onparcelsoffQuuyamltoclearabip. In other arti
cles there has been little doing, at about previous
currencies.
At to-day’s market we bad only a moderate atten
dance. Little Inquiry was experienced for Wheat,
and the sales reported were at a reduction of Sd. to
9d. per 8011. Flour a Blow sale at sd. per Barrel, and
Is. per Sack decline. Barley quiet at late rates. Oats,
Beans, Pease, and Indian Corn, met a retail demand,
at prices In favor of buyers.
Provisions— Beef continues as lost noted. Pork
ecarco and fully dearer. Bacon continues scarce,
new bringing 4U to 43s p cwt. Shoulders from
scarcity bring extreme prices—say 80a to 31a for new,
and 27* to 2& for old. Batter and Cbeeee continue
at tlvc, and flue parcel* command a ready sale at ear
extreme Quotation*. Lard continues In request at
fall prices. StaolAOxaio.

mand for heavy corn-fed Hogs being considerably
ahead of the supply. Light and small (at Hogs con
stitute the balk of the present receipts, and these, In
point of quality, are Inferior to those received some

relied open, it la stated that there are atilt some few
hundred bead of extra grades yet to be received (Tom.

that ft very large proportion are sufferers from debil

Hooflands German Bitters. Diseases resultin'* fron
disorders of the digestive organs an speedily remove
ed. We have no hesitation In stating that. If thsaa
Bitters were freely used among our soldiers, hundred
of Uvea might be saved that otqerwUc will be lost
Wo call attention to the following remarkable sad

PaiiADßLPiru, Aug. 28, 18Q.
Messes. Jdzzb £ Etaxs: Well, gentlemen, you
Hoofland’s German Bitters has fared my life. Tnara
Is no mistake In this. It w vouched for by numbers ot
my comrades, some of whose names areappended.and
who were folly cognizant of aU the circumstances ot
my case. 1 am, and have been for the lost four yeast
a member of Sherman’s celebrated battery, and nndee
the Immediate command of capr. R. B. Attm.
Through the exposure attendant upon my arduous
ties, 1 was attacked In November last with Inflamma
tion of the lungs, and was for seventy-two days in the
hospital. This was followed by great debility, height
ened by anattack of dysentery. I was then removal
from tbe White House, and sent to this city on boar*
the steamer ** State of Maine.” from which I landed oa
the 2Stb of June. Since that time I have been sboaa
as low as one conld be and still retain a spark of vltaW
\ xr ~ X , waa ■caredj able to swal
low anything, and If 1 did force a morsel down Itwra

I could not even keep a glass of water on my stom
ach. Life conld nfre last nnder these circumstance*j
and accordingly t A physicians who hsd been workiaft
faithfully, though unsuccessfully, to rescue me from
the grasp of the dread Archer, trankly told me that
they could do no more for me, and advised me to see a
clergyman, and to moke such disposition of my UmtV
ed funds as best suited me. An acquaintance who vis
ited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Stclnbron. ot
Sixth below Arch street, advised me. as a forlorn boast
to try your Bitters, and klmiiv procured a boras.
From the time I commenced taking them, the glooms
shadow of death receded, and I am now. thank God
for it, getting better. Though I bare taken bnt two
bottles, I bare gained ten pounds, and I feel sangnlM
of being permitted to Join my wire and daughter, from
whom I hare beard nothing for eighteen months—tor,
gentlemen, I am a loyal Virginian,from the vicinity Ot
Front Royal. To yonr Invaluable Bitters I owe tM
certainty of life which has taken tha place of nm
