GEETLEH<<g: While I have not withheld
permission from any Of the representatives Of
the press to visit the camps in Virginia; and
while I an as much the UucoapTamising
advocate Cf an Hnshackled press, as ! am Of
the freedom of speech, and Of the indepen-
deucs OF the Confederate States; yet I have
thought it proper under existing ciTcumstsn-
ces, TO make an appeal to you to forbssr from
tie transm; ssion and publication Of such in
teliigence IS might be detrimental to the great
cause in which we all feel 20 deep IA interest.
You are aware OF the great amount OF val
liable information obtained by Us through the
medium Of the enterpTisng journals Of the
>onb: and we may derive profit from their
example, By a discriminating and iudicious
reserve in Communications for the southern
journals.
It must be obvious that statements Of
strength, or Of weakness, at any of the points
in the 7icini'y Of The enemy, when Reproduced
in the North, as tbsv would be, 10 spite OF all
the vigilance 10 OUT power, would warn them
OF danger q themselves, or invite an stack
IpoD US; and Ia hks manner any statements Of
he magnitude Of batteries; of the quantity and
quality Of arms, or Of ammunition; Of move
nsnts IN progress, or N supposed contemp!a-
tirE; Of The condition OF troops; OF the commits
ssriat, etc, might be fraught with essential
injury 10 the service.
To gentlemen OF intelligence, and OF Unques
t;onable loyalty to the cause Of the Confederate
States, I DO not deem it necessary to be more
explicit; noT can doubt for a moment that you
vii appreciate my motives In making this
frank appeal to your patriotism and discretion.

The Itfo nnd ncath of sherIdnn.

TIE last years Of Shsridsn's life are mourn
full to contemplate. Age brought him sickness
and woe. His old friends were dead be was
aliensted from his party he had lost his
property be had lost that royal favor in
which was his last hope. The rich and great
who had thrsnged around him in bis prosper
ity, fell off now and left him "nsked to bis en-
emies y Byron was in foreign land. Moore
and Rogers aid what they did to smooth the
pillo Of the diving man. AEd thus, old and
poor, sick and miserable, ne went down to
that rolling darkness which had gathered over
the portals Of the tomb. It was a sun which
rose in golden splendor, which blazad in me-
ridian glory, and which, finally, throsgh clouds
and storm. sunk away into its solemn res.
It was a life which began in health, hope and
ardent vgor which in manhood WAS ful, of
prosperity and honor, and which ended in dis
appoint nent, denial and utter despair.
The funeral Of Sherda was an imposing
pageant ThroDgs Of the great and titled fol-
lowed him to Westminster Abbey. Two
earls, .wo lords, a bishop and duke were his
pail btarers The princes of the blOod-rOVsl,
numerous noblemen, az mOurners, sTraYed in
"he frappiugs and suits Of woe" Moore
whose ardent spirit scorDed this mockery, re-
bukes the heartless cruelty which could suffer
a great man to die Of want, and then follow
bin In pOmp TO bis grave.

TENNESSEE.

A hsstv trip through some portions az the
70 untser State few days since convinced Us
that our individual appreciation Of Tennessee
has never been equal to is merits. We are
now satisf-t that l. is smphaticslly a great
Stale, and that The Southern Confederacy
could never have gotten org well without IL
We do indeed regard it as one Of the most VAL
uable and indispensable stars upon The Con
federate fsg. The portions through which we
travelled present the grand spec acle Of one
vast wheat seld. Millions Of bushels have
been harvested from the present years crop,
and the same will be the case from the corn
crop. Tie soil is peculiarly adapted to grain,
aud the WELD this year viii far surpsss that f
any preceding year.
Aside from be Indispensable products Of
her soil 70 the Southern @ ,vArnment, we could
not willingly, a Southerner, be deprived OF
the privilege Of bossting Of her grand noun
tain scenery which, ia cur opinion, is not sur
passed in he world.
Aud lastly, though by no means least, her
brave and gallant Sons could not have been
spared from he ranks Of our Southern army
IN this grand strike for Southern independence.
Her sons, noble and true ss the sun ever shone
upon, have rushed to the field with a unsnimty
that truly 'ntitlss bsr 10 the honor Of being
called the "Voluntesr State" Between thirty
and forty thousand Of them are now on the
tented field, and It ia almost Impossible to hOld
them In check.
We are proud Of Tennessee, and now repent
Us Of all the hard bougbts we ever had against
her for her previous course in this Southern
movement GrorgiG Crusader.

It you find a man circulating malicious re-
ports about his neighbor, it may he set down
as an inviolsbIe rule that any such person is
dishonest. Not only dishonest, but, from bic
Infamous disposition, dangerous TO all with
whom be may be acquainted. He calculates
false Impressions, and sets people upon an er-
roneous course Of judgment and conduct in
respect TO others, which NAV frequently be
ruiRous to their prosperity. It does general
injury to society, more than to the party SLAM
deredr as it destroys confidence. The man
who is guilty of circulating malicious reports
must certainly be decei ful, and therefore dis
beBest; he must be abandoned TO every prin-
ciple Of moral feeling. In ancient times, when
a man wss convicted Of being n slandprer, be
was stoned 20 death as being a danger snd a
curse to the whole community Ia modern
times there is even a better remedy than this
it is 70 cease all communication With such
characters. Treat them like lepers, abandon
them to their own kind, which is social
death, one which may serve as an example to
others. This rule is observed among all in
telligeut people, and should be Invariably car
