ma.teras Again...A crucI sIande

EEatteras Aga5ns-sA cruel SANDER,
We have been surprised and pained at the
stltled whisperiDgs which have beea circulated
from one to another for several days, that re-
fleet severely, whether intended or not, upon
the loyalty and genuine courage Of the people
Of the eastern counties.
It has been insiuuated in certain circles, That
tue secret OF the surrender Of Hatteras, was
the refusal of the rank and lie to hght. It is
further stated that the officers (Which Of them
1t Is not said) were anxious to fight but the
men would not. Who says 30? No one knows
no responsible name for the assertion is Civ
en-. Illus our soldiers are slandered in their
absence without The means Of d.fense.
The statement is a caaGrd-a falsehood, we
have no doubt, and is gotten up 10 pallia e the
affair and remove the responsibility from the
shoulders which should bear it. Why is it,
that this tale has Just conn out? Lieutenants
MuGdaugh, Knight and Citizen, and about
thirty men, made their escape from Hatteras
on Thursday. They had the means of know
ing ID 3, II 1t were true. No such statement
wss made by them at the time, when Of all
others it would have been told, If true. Be-
sides, who ever heard Of commanders submit
ting the question to the men whether they
would fight or not? There we're officers there
who would have fought, and we are sure the
raGk and file would have fought, if they had
been property managed We have no doubt
serious blundeTs were committed, 10 the de-
tense OF the forts, hu. WHO'S to blame for these
blundels we know not. Bat We protest against
The s!Snder OF those unfortunate men who
were captured at Hatteras, and are now in
Lincoin's prison holes,
Similar destinations are made against our
men at Oregon Inlet. They are represented
ss having acted cowsFdly. We have a posi-
tive denial Of this SANDER from the mouth of
Col Morris, who was in command, and had
tie best right 10 know, before the naval Off
GERS arrived from Norfolk and superseded him..

UKPoETIcAL WIFE.-Sifbenkas could never
inspire Lsnette with q lyrical enthusiasm Of
love, in which she could forget heaven aud
earth and everything else. She could count
the strokes OF the town clock between his
kiss,s, and could listen and gun off to the
saucepan that was boiling over, with all the
big tears in her eyes which be had pressed out
Of her melting heart by a touching story of d
sermon. She accompanied in her devotion tue
Sunday hymns, which echoed loudly from The
neighboring apartments, and in the midst Of d
verse she would iuterweaye the prosaic ques-
ton, " shall l warm mp for supper" and he
could never Danish from hi5 remembrance that
once, when she was quite touched, and lis,en-
ed to his cabinet discourse and eternity, she
looked at him ~thoughtfullv, but toward bis
feet, and at length said, "Don't put on the
left stocking to morrow, ! must darn it."
The author Of this history declares that be
has sometimes aimost lost bis wits at such

GENTLEMEN: A letter addressed to Ms5sTs.
AbercTombie and B.ouut, dated be 9Th instant,
aad published in your paper Of that date, has
lust been handed to me by a friend, who informs
me that it refers TO a measure in which | par
ticipated with Col. W. Il. Chase.
II [ am correctly informed, / am happy to
say that the invest CATION Of my action in this,
as wei! as in every other tTaDssc ion in or out
of Congress as a private citizen or public ser
want respec ing the subject Of secession, is
cueerfuiiy United. Based as it was upon an
accurate knowledge OF the enemy's condition
and resources and Of our own, and upon free
and fgi! consultations with men whose patriot
ism and Judgment are universally conceded, it
has received their approval, and what's OF far
greater Importance 60 ne, 1t has my own.
Ibaye RETAINED from publicly adverjing even
to the sctiou OF myself and the patriotic men
with whom / have bad the honor Of being as
ISOLATED in his respect, only because tae in
terests Of the country demanded that the enemy
should be equally ignorant Of it and Of the
reasons upon which it was based; but ny
Judgment approved ie, and / an ready to main
tain and lsfend il, and 60 challenge fog It The
approval Of every honorable mind.
Although in he single measure referred 10,
I, being a private citizen and acting as such,
could make no "truce . to bind any one but
myself, the whole power therein resting with
Chase stll / cordially approved il: following
as il did precisely the precedent established
with regard to Fort Sumter; and the noble
chief Of our country subsequently manifested
bis high appreciation u the character and
services Of Col. Chase by rendering TO him a
higher military rank than he had before EN-
ioyed.
The publication OF the transactions in qaes-
ton. ana Of the papers connected with them,
shall be made as early as a just regard for the
condition Of the country will justify it. They
have been repeatedly submitted to candid and
patriotic men, and they are at the service Of
such mea al all times.

THE NEW ORLEANS BANKS.

That The suspension Of specie payment, by
tie New Orleans banks, was only he result If
a desire to aid the government in securing
an undistuTbed circulation for its treasury
notes, is fulli shown by the statement Of the
banks made on the 14,h From the table be-
fore lis we learn that at that date the entire
circulation was s6,4SI,7 l6, and the specie re-
serve was S14, I73 ,258. TIE total due Deposit
ors and other banks was SIS 214,C67; while
they have a resource, made up Of ninety dsy
paper AID their exchange account, Of SI6,269,-
269. These figures establish the fact Of SOL
veHcy beyond question, ard warrant the asser-
ton that a resumption of business, in a legiti-
mate manner, VIII be made at as early a day
as the public interest will admit.
It lie a tact that suspension would, under or
d:Dary circumstances, work g forfeiture Of The
charters Of these institutions, as the Legisla.
ture cannot interfere to set aside The disability
imposed upon them by the constitution. TIE
people, however, can take tie matter into uleir
own hands, and BY an Amendment to their o.
ganic law, relieve those who have so patriot
ieaiiy trusted to their generosity in this par
t%ieuisT and We are glad to observe that The
press Of Louisiana, so far as It has ca me under
our observation, has unanimously sustained the
action Of The banks, and will support TIC ne
cessaTy measures for their relief.
