lowing letter, demanding its surrender:

the houses of your city shots have been fired
upon the troops of my command, your mills

the depots of such troops. This condition of
things must terminate, and by direction of
Gen. Burnside accordingly demand the sur
render of the city into my hands, as the repre-
sentative of the United States, at or before
five O'Clock this afternoon. Failing an afiirma-
tive reply to this demand by the hour indcat-
ed, sixteen hours will be permitted to elapse
for the removal from the city of women and
children, the sick and wounded, aged. &c.

On the arrival on the opposite side of the
river, Gen. Patrick was conveyed to the guard
house by the military, where he has been
detained until the reply was ready. In the
meantime his communication was conveyed to
Gen. Longstreet whose troops are encamped
short distance outside of the city. As the
demand was made upon the civil authorities,
the Mayor sent the answer, which was evident
ly written at the dictation of Gen. Longstreet,
TO the effect that the complaints enumerated
shonld be remedied, so far as firing on our
pickets and furnishing supplies and material
TO the confederate army was concerned, also,
that the rebels would dispute the occupying of
the city by Government forces. He complain
ed of the short space of time allowed for the
removal of the woman, children and sick sol
ders. The giving OF any more time, as re-
quested, is now under consideration.
Permission has been given the citizens to
run one train from the city, but only for the
conveying of women and children.
The news to-day received from Jackson
shows that he had rented house in Winches-
ter Tor his family. His troops are in front of

Tne wor,.,ups of paper mo,ev

The rates of foreign exchange are about forty
per cent. higher than they were this time year
ago This is equivalent to an extra duty of forty
per cent on all our importations, and j. a draw
back or discount of forty per cent on all our ex-
ports of produce and manufactured articles.
The New York World. in an article on this sub
ect says that the imports for the current year are
estimated at s24O 600 600, and the exports of
products at 5000 900, 900. The present high rates
of exchange. therefore, forma tax of s96. 900 900
per annum, and, assuming twenty per cent for
profit on the same, gives total of $4,000, 900,
which the American consumer pays annually for
enhanced rates of exchange compared with last
year, when our currency was at a specie stand
ard
If this tax of sll5 900 900 per annum were re-
ceived by the Federal treasury, then there would
be some satisfaction in i, but this sum bene-
fits no interest except that of foreigners The
discount or drawback of forty per cent on our
exports, arising from the same evil working of
the high rates of exchange, amounts to about
So ,OOOO 900 per annum. That is to say the for
egn buyer receives the flour at about "a 35 per
barrel, which the citizen of New York is COM
PEELED to buy at 81. The British manufacturer
receives the American cotton at about 36 cents
per pound, which the American manufacturer
is compelled to buy at 60 cents. And the same
advantage over Americans OF 40 per cent dis
count on all American wool and other products
is enjoyed by foreign buyers and consumers in
Europe
The paper money system of the Secretary Of
the Treasury is thus working for the exclusive
benefit and profit of British and other foreign
manufacturers 1t will enable them to undersell
in this market our own domestic manufacturers
of cotton and wooden goods. Domestic manu-
facturers cannot cempete with foreigners on these
unequal terms of buying the raw material here.
This state of affairs is grave and menacing to
American interests. 1t threatens to swamp our
own manufacturers unless there is an immediate
return to a specie standard for prices.
1t is evident that our commerce can not long
sustain its profitable working under the present
paper money system A change is imperatively
demanded to save our domestic manufacturers
from ruinous competition with those of Europe.
The annual diversion of Sll5 900 600 for the ex
change tax on imports, and $50 100000 for the
drawbacks on exports making total of Sle5,-
00O, 900 in cash capital taken from the channels
of active trade is an evil of magnitude sufficient
to embarrass our whole financial system. These
evils are the natural results of using legal tender
notes to the extent of Sl3O, 900 900 instead Of
IL &c id nl
and Treasury 365 notes for $40 and 500.

Little Grue, for a sick Goslinr

The Journal utterly fails, in over column
of wo-ds, to meet the points We made in our re-
port of the testimony in the treason case, and
the charge of Judge SwAYNE to the jury Our
only motive was to vndicate and uphold the con-
stitutonal rights of the people. These disre-
garded, all that makes onr form of government
desrabe-all that secures freedom to the citizen
under the cOnstitution-will have passed away.
In comparison with the preservation of constitu-
tionai liberty, Judge SwAYNE, the jury and the
prisoner sink into insigni6cance If the consti
tutiona barriers against the exercise of one man
power" are overridden, and in the beginning it is
generally insidiously done perhaps, under the
plea of military necessity, then despotism soon
follows. 1t was against these encroachments
upon popular rights that we desired to caution
the people.
The Journal makes two points, which, at the
present time, we will only briefly notice:
1t is the Journal, not we. that asserts "that
Judge SwAYNE guilty of infamous miscon
duct in charging the jury" The Judge did
charge the jury just as we stated, "that the jury
must accept one side of the evidence and reject
the other" So the jury understood it So the
counsel understood it. So numerous and intel
ligent attendants upon the Court understood it,
There is abundant proof upon this point. If the
Judge was guilty of infamous misconduct in thus
charging the jury, it is the Journals deduction,
not ours
We did not say 'the jury deliberately dsre
gardec the evidence" Upon the testimony, if
the Judge had given no instructions. the jury
would have acquitted the prisoner without leaving
the box. No candid and intelligent person who
heard the evidence, can honestly say the prisoner
should have been convicted of high treason under
it. Ii HUsrQN, under the testimony, is guilty of
treason, then the editor of the Journal is a
thousand times more so. The columns of that
print will furnish abundant evidence that it has
given 'aid and comfort to the enemy. The Jour
nails compelled to resort to an infamous misrepre-
sentation to base argument. and if glaringy
false in statement, it will misrepresent in ALL
We did not say the Jury we're divided according
to their partisan affinities" We said "there was
no knowledge on the part of the jury of the
political sentiments of each other;" nor do we
know what their partisan affinites. Malig-
nant indeed must the man be who is compelled
20 resort to misrepresentation to sustain his
cause and it is the best evidence of its weakness
We shall not handy eplthets with the Journal
There is no argument in them. 1t is only weak
men that resort to them. We may refer to some
points in the Journals article hereafter.

of Congress- and the faint effort of the President
to stand by conservative measures gave but
momentary check TO the onward sweep of that
Abolition torrent, which has opened wide and
deep, the gulf between the two sections, until all
hope of a restoration of the government under
the auspices of the Republican party has van
ished, and il now remains 10 be seen whether
there Is vitality enough in the government 20 out
live that party if there is there is hope and il is
this hope that animates the Democratic party.
The recent elections viii go far to
keep alive the latent fire that shoulders
in the bosoms of the Union men of the
South, and as the ball rolls on their strength and
numbers will increase. They will recruit from
the ranks of those who are tired of this unnatu-
raj war, and who would be glad TO lay down their
arms If any reasonable pretext was offered or
promise held out, and in time restore the broken
bond But such a restoration can only take
place over the common grave of those twin
heresies, Northern sectionalism and Southern
secession"
In the meantime let us illustrate our devotion
to the Constitution and the Union by course Of
conduct that shall stop the mouth of the Sian
derer. Let us show that We are for the country
the whole country-and while we stand by and
support the Government in the future as in the
past, let US insist that all proper means
shall be employed, civil and military, in
the Cabinet and in the held. in Just measures
of adjustment as well as by the strong arm of
power to hasten the day when the constitutional
authority of the Government shall be recognized
and obeyed throughout the land. Let our motto
be "No scar for the sutjugatiOn Of States or the
emancipation of slaUes No peace thGG looks 10 a
dismeHberment Of the Republic" This broad
land was made for one people and one Govern
ment, and when the madness which has ruled the
hour shall have passed away, they will come
together again. Therefore, let all the ends we
aim at be our country ys-our God's-and truths"
and then let the result be what it will, we shall

The paper famine is said to be all owing to
shoddy. The rascally contractors have torn up
the rags to mix with their army cloths. Another
version is that the Lazzaroni OF Naples and
Southern Europe, from whom we used to get
81 ,O00. 600 worth of rags annually, refuse to ex
change them for Chase's greenbacksl To offset
this, and to make show of consistency in all
things, the radical fanatics claim that the rise in
paper is all owing to African slaveryl The form
ula by which they prove it is somewhat thus:
The rise in paper is owing to the scarcity of rags
which is owing to the rise in sterling, exchange;
which is owing to greenbacks; which are Oping to
shoddy army contractors; which owing to the
war; which is owing to the wrath of heaven which
is owing to the Oppression OF Gods poor" which
is owing to slavery-theretore. slavery is the
