THE Despotisrn at Washington.

Through the instrumentalty of one of Seward s
confidential agents, says the Richmond Wing of
the I'd, we have come in possession of the follow
ing letter, addressed by brave and noble woman
to Lineoln's yizier. We are given to understand
that the perusal of it not without visible effect
upon that mpersonation of all human villainy.
The twitohipgs of the muscles and his agitated
manner betrayed, not perhaps any compuncton,
but sense Of personal insecurity at the hands OF
the avenging Nemesis. 'r-grt- ,;r.
This letter is the most graphic sketch yet given
to tEe world of the cruel and dastardly tyranny
which the Yankee Government has established al
Washington. RUSSELL in one of his letters to the
London Times, mentions the " arrest by tele.
graph, winch has been introduced by Seward, as
something new and appalling, and outstripping al
the ingenious contrvances of all the despotisms
that ever existed. But the incarceration and tor
ture of helpless women, and the outrages heapet
upon them, as detailed in this letter, will more
shock manly natures, and stamp the Lincoln
| dynasty everywhere with undyng infamy.
| The letter tells its own tale, and may be relied
on as true copy of the original, IN the hands
| Wm. H. Seward: ,...s

SAFE DIsTANCEs-A correspondent of the Dis
patch states that while General Floyd was retreat.
ing from Cotton Hill and the Yankees pursuing
him, the latter heard that our cavalry had got in
their rear; they Immediately turned tail and fed
leaving haversacks, guns, stores and ammunition
in their flight. The ludicrous spectacle was eAhb
tied of two armies running from each other.
Several instances of the same sort have occurred
during this war; One of the most remarkable
took place a fortnight since in Kentucky. Oul
forces had retreated from Wild Cat, when panic
seized the Yankees and they fed, without pausing
some fifty or sixty miles, and the Indiana and Ohio
regiments were Still flying when last heard from
Andy Johnston was in the retreat. and was over
whelmed with shame and modification.
1t is pity that we could not manage to get item
of these routs in time to profit by them. 1t il
quite certain if our forces had known of this fight
they might have marched upon Louisville withou
hindrance. The frequency of these panics shoult
admonsh us that they are an epidemic to Whicl
the Yankees are much addicted, and by caring ant
enterprise, we might render it universal and con
tnuous among them. [Richmond Whig, I'd.

PASSPORTS is believed that Congress is con-
templating the adoption of system of passports
which, if it prevents the ingress and egress of ennis
saries and traitors will conduce much to the public
safety. 1t is known that the OLD submission ieven,
Yankees, and another Dix proclamation may be
stuck up any night at the street corners. The
Yankees, through their agents. are trying to create
dissatisfaction by insinuations that our permanent
government was a snap judgment on the border
States, which had no participation in it, though
the most populous States. These conspirators
cannot be ferreted out too soon. A more perfect
system of passports would also prevent an enor-
nous amount of remttances to the North. Bills
of exchange on the North, and sterling bills, are
for sale in our cites-and money has never ceased
to be selif out of the Confederacy
