los following general order of Commodore
Rome Rs, will, we have NO doubt, have a Salutary
effect. Our Navy has suffered much, and lost some
of lis brightest ornaments, and the country has been
deprived OF some of the best and bravcst in the
service, by practice that may, without loss of ho-
uour be entirely dispensed with. II ouc officers fall
IN dctence OF their county; aud while we mourn
their loss, tell fthe deeds OF valour and speak
proudly of their honorable death. But how is it
when they fall, not IN the defence Of their county
nor oy the hands of an enemy, but in contest
where an American arm Is raised Ia she'd American

that two or three other famous military and naval
heroes had been aspirants To the same Office

that the liberty of Rome, would ever have been
subverted by such statesman as Cicero, or
that the freedom of America will ever be lost
under the guidance of such men as Jefferson,
Madison, and Monroe
ne hi'la'N talent oil our country, when

be man of great political experience and

We have made room to-day for the follow
ing singular and rather mysterious letter, pur-
porting to be written b. an ex-officer of the
Southern army, TO his friend in Nashville, and
detailing conversation between Gen. jackson
and the writer, in which the former is made to
advance opinions, well calculated 10 arouse sus-
'icion, aud TO suliy the laurels Which have been
placed npcn his brow. The first information
winch we received of this letter, was a brief and
imperfect notice taken of it by the Richmond
Compiler, and we confess that the impressions
lett upon our minds were decidedly against it's
credIbility. An attentive examination. howe
yer, OF the letter itself of its manner of pubica
ton, and OF MANY circumstances connected with
the SUBJECT, has resulted in an opposite opinion.
we have no doubt that some of the sentiments
attributed to Gen. jackson are highly colou,ed
ana perhaps distorted, but that some such con-
Versation did take place, we are firmly conyin-
ced The Nashville Wing, in which the letter
was first published, is paper of high respecta-
niHy. It's editors are known to be prudent and
intelligent, and could hardly have been i'm .o,cd
upon by citizen of their own town.-Nor is if
presumable that the writer could be SO stunid
as to fahrlcate a story for publication which he
knew won!d he investigated, and which could
o " reqnr the denial of General Jackson 20
taInp he author with falsehood and iofatny. =
LIST IL be denied and we shall be satisfied.
