Correspondents Of the Memphis Appeal.
RICHNOsD, July 1.-THE public has already been
advised that an officer of the Confederate army,
bearing a cartel from this Government to the Fed
eral authorities, had been dispatched to Washing
ton under flag of truce. That officer was Lieu
tenantColonel Thomas II. Taylor, late of Memphis,
who yesterday returned in safety to this city. He
was kindly received and treated with all becoming
consideration The object of his mission has not
been authortatvely proclaimed although it is gen
orally believed to have been in relation to the case
of the prisoners recently taken on board the prva-
teer Savannah. 1t the Lincoln government shall
adhere to the criminal and blood thirsty policy al
ready announced Of treating captured privsteers-
men as pirates it will do SO with the full
knowledge of the determination on the part of this
Government to resort to measures Of the s!TicteSt
retaliation If the Yankees desire to make the war
one of determination in which quarter shall neither
be asked nor given, they have the power to do so,
and upon their heads rest the consequences For
the result, in such a contest, We have no fear.
Col. TAYLOR was a citizen of Nashville at the
time of his appointment to Captainey il the Con.
federate Army. We infer from his present title
that he has been promoted.

Wood President Memphis and Ohio railroad and
Presidents Of ether railroads Of Tennessee:
Under the present arrangements of railroads of
the State the officers and pTivates furlOugh sick
leave, and those returning home to visit their sick
families. and going back the post of duty are all
brave men. They have taken the field in defense
of the country; they are paid eleven dollars per
month for making their bodies targets to be shot at
they are subjected to all the hardships perils and
privations of the camp, and they give up all the
comforts and endearments Of home; and yet hus-
band cannot visit a sick wife, dying child or
son a sick father, OF aged widowed mother, with~
out being stripped of their small means which
should be applied to procure such small comforts
in camp as they have been accustomed 10 have,
and which the State does not furnish.
Many cases have come to my knowledge where
men on sick leave out of the hospital and ready
to 60 back to the post of duty, has not the money
to pay their way back. The amy now in the field
protects the rights of these roads, and but for its
projections these companies wound have no use for
their roads have required steam boats running in
pass soldiers and officers back and forth under like
circumstances free of charge. They have all &C
guessed and are now pas sing them free.
Surely our railroad stockholders ami directors
are not less patriotic than steamboat OH uers, nor
suppose that they are less able to co uribute
this mite to the soldiers comfort nor Is the Obga
ton lessened when it is remembered what liberal
aid the State has given to aud the roads
beg sir, through yOu to bring the subject b. fore
the railroad directors of the State and in beha of

The question Of supplying our troops with win.

tentlon 1t is now evident that the South must
depend mainly on herself for clothing material
during this war. Her magnificent crops will
supply large surplus Of breadstufs AMI food

the blockade OF our PORTS may continue up to the
season when our volunteers in the field will reqnire
heavy wooden goods to protect them against the in
clemency of winter.
Livery loom In the Confederate States ought to De

country as well at the ow handle, and the loom
as in the tented field. Our woollen factories are
TOO few to depend upon them for the fabrics that
will be necessary to supply the demands that are
now near at hand.
Every private loom and every fair hand that can i-
rect should now ply with unceasing care until we
satisfied that there is not soldier unclsd AMONG

may be done, in main part by our fair country.

he Eegis.sr saws Of Mr.. TRrGG:

The Register says Of Mr. THGG:
He Is known and regarded in this section, as the
most bitter uncompromising opponent of our State
action, and the leading and most active rebellious
spirit IN East Tennessee. These facts-the mode of
nomination-thc manner Of announcement. and the
political character Of the nominee, should excite
suspicion, and augers great danger.
We suppose, from this, that Mr. TRIGG swallows
al of LINCoLN's acts, and approves in full of his
brutal designs and bloody acts, to subjugate lis
neighbors and kinsmen.

Mr.. A. NJ. Woodruff, of this city, arrived here to-

Ben. McCullochs army and the Federals at Spring

The usurpations of LINCOLN far exceed the wild~
est prophecies and the most excited spprebensione
of those Southern men who were prepared for acts
contrary to the Constitution and oppressive to the
South Had even the most ultra secessionizt in
South Carolina vcntured to predict of the LINCOLN
Administration what has actually occurred. he
would have been regarded as a mailman Had his
most determined enemy In Tennessee asserted that
he would not be in power four months before he
would strike down the habsas corpus. suppress the
freedom Of the press as in St LOUIS call into the
field 100000 troops, increase the regular army
and navy without authority from the Legislature
shoot down unarmed citizens in the streets by his
mercensr'es, invade the Southern States, ha-bor
fugitive slaves in his military lines supersede the
civil power in Baltimore, countenance the partition
of Virginia, and seize the Railroads he would have
been laughed at as a man without candor or reason.
And yet LINCOLN has done all these things in open
day, and attempts to justify them in his message on
that plea Of tyrants- necessity.
This plea is the very essence of tyranny and
desposm. For the Executive is to lie the Judge Of
the necessity Of such acts and not be governed by
the constitution, which limits his power. then all
liberty is at an end. The very same plea is as
good against the Northern people as against the
South, should the despOt who governs them at
tempt to strike down their rights and liberties.
With an army of 500, OOG men. which Senator VII
SONS bill provides fer, he may dare do anything.
The Northern slaves who now applaud his acts.
from desire to subjugate the South, may vet re-
pent in sackcloth and ashes of tn If folly in con-
cedlng such extraordinary dictatorial powers to
their Executive.
