We profess to know but littl,
Gen. McCulloh but that he ha'
always been reputed an honest
straightforward soldier-as brave
as julius Cesar, and as impetuous il
action as Murat or Marshal Ney. But
we have lately seen in a Memphi:
paper vindication Of McCulloch by
one Of his Aids, which goes far to
exoncrate him from the censures to
which he has been subjected. AS a
General in the Confederate service,
he held an independent command. He
had not the means to follow up the
advantages he had gained at Oak
Hill it would have drawn him too
far from his resources and exposed
him to be cut off by a superior force,
having no point to which he could
have fallen back for support. He
could not coincide in the plans Of Gen.
Price because he thought it would be
wrong to advance North into a
hostile region, inducing the froinds of
the Confederacy to rise when they
could not be certainly assured Of pro-
lection against the soldiers and
freinds of the Federal Government.
That by thus advancing, he would be
Tour hundred miles from his resources
which he had small means to b ing up.
Such are the principal points
Urged by his Aid in his defence. Per
laps the public will soon believe Nc
Culloch was right in his opinion--for
ien. Price after doing many gallant
leeds has fallen back to the position at
springfield occupied by McCulloch
n August last. His victories seem to
ave barren Of results.

A Card from Brig-Gen. Nc
CglaI0cln.
To the Editor of the Richmond Whig:

In your issue of yesterday there is a
communication signed j. w. Tucker,
in answer to which think proper to
make the following reply, which you
will please give place in your paper:
Your correspondent says: with the
exception of the battle of Springfield,
not a sword has, been drawn for the
relsdse of Missouri, except by her own
sons" On the 4th Of July, General
Pearce, of Arkansas, and myself, with
all the forces we could command en-
tered Missouri, marched to aid the
Governor of the State in cutting his
way through his enemies capturing
over one hundred of the enemy at
Ncosho, point where we expected to
attack Colonel Siegel with his whole
command.
So much for his first assertion.
lie further says, speaking of the
battle of Oak Hills: "The Confederate
commander was asked for the assis.
tance of three regiments to pursue
defeated and disorganized foe, when
1000 men and 81 ,o0O, 900 worth of pro-
perty were within our reach, but Gen.
Price asked i'll vain" Immediately af-
ter the battle was over, and, in truth,
before all my forces had returned from
the pursuit of the enemy, orders were

from the battlefield, the dead to be
buried. and the army to be ready to
march after the enemy that night
We did not march, for the want Of
Several of my officers in

that some of their men had fired their
last cartridge at the enemy, as we had

The BEAUTIES OF ANr1-MoNopoLl
LEGIsLAT1oN.-The following is told by
the Mobile Register and Advertiser,
and we must admit that the case as
thus presented does, in the language
of our cotemporary, show rather a
tight condition of affairs:
A citizeu stated that he purchase a
sack of salt of the State agent, which
on deing weighed, turned out only I55
bounds instead of 224 To this he
objected; but the only satisfaction he
got was the reply that he could take it
or let it alone, as he pleased. AS he
could not do without salt we suppose
he had to take it. The nominal price
was then $40 so per sack, but with
such deficit in weight, this was
equivalent to 1917. 1t would seem
that this was bad enough, but the
agent, $50 the account went on to
state) refused to receive Alabama
mouey, except one per cent. discount,
Seeing that the supension of the
banks, 10 which the depreciation Of cur
rency is due, took place at the instance
of the State itself, it would seem that
the least the State could do would be
to receive these slightly deprecated
Issues at par

Gov. Moore has done a nost sensible
thing in vetoing the 80 called "Cottor
Relief Bill' which had passed botI
houses of the Legislature by large ma
jorties in each. 1t required more than
ordinary moral courage to veto Bill
by which most powerful interest
hopel to find relief from tile severe
pressure of the times, and, therefore
/. the Governor has entitled himself %
{ The higher appreciation by the country
! at large. This bill was professedy for
+ the relief of the cotton plantors-to
+ enable them to obtain means from the
Q state to pay their taxes-supply their
q immediate ncco stics and, perhaps,
IL 4lquldate their debts but, aCrordjno
teffo our humble opinion, it was faIacious
-aSSn its character, founded on false finan-
fareiai pr n p'es, and, though it might
uslave held out relief to the ear of the
hisanter, would have sadly broken it to
sools hope. 1t is nciher oonst tutiopa!
ch ior expedicnt that the State as such

Frnlsson merchant. The issue or seven
Umillions Of State scrip under su h cir
circumstances, would have Frustrated
tlihe financial credit of the State, and
sutlat at time when she ought to be
lat,blc to keep it in the strongest posi-
suron to protect herself from the caIami-
dtes which threaten us on 50 manv
sktdes
alt 1t IS useless to exhibit the argu-
3hrnts for and against this measure
frahey are probably familiar to most
wTadcrs

The STORM AT THE NORTH the
18th instant, tremendous storm OF
rain, snow and wild, commenced at
Richmond, and continued eight days.
We have accounts of its extending
from the North Carolina State line all
through the mountains of Virginia to
the Potomac. As many streams, sucl,
as the Tennessee, Cumberland, Big
Sandy, kanawha, etc, take their rise
in these mountainH-aud as the storm
extended west as far Bowling green,
on Big Barren, one of the principal
branches Of green river-we think it.
very probable that there will be
tremendous rise in the western rivers.

tered in temper ary shanties have suf

The Stay Law.

we have heard much discussion
! pro, and con- upon the merits of tbi,
important bill. Some condemn it ir
toto; others condemn it in a part-some
admit 1t necessary evil. Others think
that it will prove the salvation of orr
people. The bill may we freely admit
be viewed in different lights, as
protecting the debtor against the
sacrifice of his property, and at the
same time keeping the creditor out of
his just dues, and in many instances
to his very great injury. It is a hard
case, and in ordinary times we wouId
submlt'to it with great reluctance But
the times are not ordinary ones, and
as we deem it the true policy of every
good citizen to the powers that.be,"
althought they may bear heavily upon
us, we submit without a murmur
consollng ourselves though we may
suffer in some measure, others will be
greatly benefited.
The complication of the machinery
OF government is very intricate, and
should be handled with great caution.
and lnfllcting the least injury possible
1t is fixed principle of all well estab-
llshed governments to enact such rules
as the majority require, but as the
majority are not always right, great
caution should be exercised not to in
hict an injury on the minority. Our
people throughout the whole country,
had rashly and inconsiderately run in
to debt, and the whole of last years
crop remaining on hand unsold, they
OF course, were without money. If the
officers of justice had been permitted
to seize and sell the property of the
debtors, it would have fallen into the
hands of Sylocks at ruinous prices.
This would not only have destroyed
The hopes of the debtors, but proved an
ncalculabe injury to the solvent com
nunity, for suppose two tracts of and
each other, valued at SIS
Der acre, one tract belonging to sol !,
vent man, the other to a debtor. The :
debtors land is sold at I
$40 per acre, consequently his neigh |
'ors is reduced in value to the same |
ate. The same logic will apply to
slaves, horses, or any other kind of
PERSONAL property.
Some of our merchants, factors and
gents,no doubt will suffer in some
egree, but most Of them will profit I
y the stay law, beiug themselves
argely in debt The banks will suffer
lost, aud they can afford it best
laking their millions by fnanciering
nd shaving.
1t is our cherished doctrine that the
of the sell are the severe
5ns of the country, and all laws P
hould be enacted to promote their p'
yelfare. &
BY running into debt our people ?,
ave acted inconsiderately, and no fr
oubt sad experience will cause b.
lem to act with caution. When things D p
re bought on a credit, but little atten- Sc
on Is paid to price and we often pay =:
