The Demand for Gold.

Exports of produce and merchandise
were shipped from the port of New York
last week to the amount of four millions
two hundred and eighty-seven thousand
dollars. Though this is slightly below the
mark of the two preceding weeks-when
the exports aggregated over ten millions
it is still nearly million advance of the
exports of the corresponding week last
year. At the same time imports are de-
crea5ng. Thus, while the heavy exporta-
ton of our domestic products, to pay for
the stocks sent home from England, is les
sening the demand for gold in that direc-
ton, the decreasing amount of our imports
is lessening the demand for gold and eide
mand notes" to pay duties at home. Should
this state of things continue, as it certainly
must, how long will it be before its natural
influence will be felt in the decreasing price
of bullion and foreign exchange?

Letters of Rebel Ohacers.-The Rebels
Disguised with Kentucky.

A letter from Nashville gives the sub
stance of several intercepted letters of
rebel officers and others.
A letter from Gen. PRESTON to his wife,
dated in Camp, November 10, between
Chattanooga and Murfreesboro, says that
he was going to Murfreesboro with BRAGG,
HARDEE and BUOKNER that evening. The
letter is gloomy, though expressing a CLEAN
of hope that the rebel horizon is becoming
clearer, and that peace is approaching.
PRESTON adds:
am waiting with anxiety with my brigade
under Buckner for the development of the win
ter campaign. My heart sunk in leaving Ken
lucky. Ifthe prescription becomes intOlerable,
seek shelter in Canada. You cannot cross the
lines. Look for peace in some happier land
until this cruel war is ended. While the enemy
even gives you imperfect protection, it is your
duty to abstain from every act or speech that
that Kentucky may not be torn further in this
conflict.
A letter from JAMES B. CLAY bitterly
denounces BRAGG for disappointing the ex-
pectatiens which he inspired. CLAY has
no command. PRESTON says CLAY is dis
contented, disappointed and angry as to
Kentucky, and adds:
She has become an open shame, fear, to our
enemies; scorn and dersion even to Yankees,
to whom she was betrayed

Congressional Election In Tennessee.
Letter from President Lincoln.

The following is copy of a letter from
President LINCOLN concerning the forth
coming election in Tennessee:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.
Major General Grant, Governor johnson, and
all having military, naval, and civil authori-
ty under the United States within the State
of Tennessee:
The bearer of this, Thomas r. Smith,
citizen of Tennessee, goes to that State
seeking to have such of the people thereof
as desire to avoid the unsatisfactory pros
pect before them, and to have peace again
upon the old terms under the Constitution
Of the United States, to manifest such de-
sire by elections of members of Congress
of the United States particularly, and per-
haps Legislature, State officers, and
United States Senator, friendly to their
object. I shall be glad for you, and each
of you, to aid him, and all others acting
for the object, as much as possible. In all
available ways give the people chance to
express their wishes at these elections.
Follow law, and forms of law, as far as
convenient, but, at all events, get the ex-
preston Of the largest number of the peo-
pie possible. All see how much such ac-
ton will connect with and affect the proc
lamation of September 22d. Ofcourse the
men elected should be gentlemen of char
acter, willing to swear to support the Con-
stitution as Of old, and known to be above
reasonable suspicion of duplicity. 5
Yours, very respectfully, 2" e3T
(Signed) i IVA. LINCOLN.

The Presidents Message.

Our readers will find in another place
brief synopsis of the Presidents Message.
The document complete, we were unable
to get by telegraph.
The recommendation in regard to ma
tional currency based on the bonds of the
United States, will meet the hearty appro-
baton of the great masses of the people,
who have been afflicted with meaner cur
rency than ever disgraced a civilized ma
ton. We have little hopes, however, that
this plan, or any other that will rid US of
the evil, will be adopted by the present
Congress, unless powerful demonstration
of public sentiment is brought to bear
upon our representatives. The majority
we're elected with special reference to their
opinious on the question of slavery, and
until that is definitely and forever settled,
which we hope may be before the close of the
war, the interests of white men must re-
main in allegiance. Another and a stronger
reason why the plan proposed will be likely
to be defeated, is the immense pressure
that will be brought against it by the
present banking organizations of the coun-
try, which will be too powerful, in pecu-
mary sense, for the honesty of our Con-
gressmen to resist.
Slavery and the colonization of persons
of African descent, are subjects that are
treated at considerable length. Colonies
ton, the favorite hobby of the President,
appears under cloud, owing to the un-
willingness of the Africans to go abroad,
and of other nations to receive them.
Emancipation, as a voluntary act of the
Slave States, is strongly urged, with COM
pensation to loyal owners. The President
appears unwilling to trust to the justice of
Congress, and recommends amendments
to the Constitution guaranteeing compen-
sation to all States abolishing slavery be-
fore January l, 1863. This would scarce
ly be adopted, owing to the shortness of
time, if no other reason prevailed. We
see nothing directly affirming his intention
of proclaiming freedom in the rebellious
States on the first of January, but enough
is said to warrant the conclusion that the
proclamation will be issued.

Resident Rebels Leaving Kast Ten-
neSsec.

The editor Of the Louisville Democrat
has conversed with Esquire CAMPBELL, q
very Intelligent gentleman, recently from
East Tennessee. He reports the resident
rebels of that rection as being very much
dispirited at the retreat of Braces army
from Kentucky. From his accounts We
are led to suppose that BRAGG 3 retreat has
damaged their cause nearly equal to the
defeat of ZoL1LooFFER last winter. Most of
the secession citizens are preparing to re-
move from the State; their movable pro-
perty is going away as fast as Transports
ton can be obtained.

The Duty of Citizens Concerning the
Indian Massacre.

We commend the paper of Bishop WHIT
PILE to the earnest consideration of the
people of Minnesota. No man has devot-
ed himself more conscientiously to the in
vestigation of the causes of the recent out
break, and none have clearer ideas of the
duty of the Government to remodel the
whole Indian system, as suggested in the
message of President LINCOLN.

Designs upon Florida-Bogus Com
Eressmen to be Invented.


The Washington Chroncile-the new Or
gan of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS an article
upon ''Eli Thayer's Expedition to Florida"
from which we make the following ex-
tracts
There has never been proposition submitted
to the people of the United States which seems
to be capable of producing such grand results
by such simple agencies as the plan to regener-
ate and reclaim the rebel States by organizing
immigration.
1t is wisely proposed to begin with Florida.
That State is very accessible to the North. be-
ing only sixty hours from New York city, and
by water conveyance, always cheap and always
ready.
The article then states several of the
advantages which Florida presents to
Northern emigrants, and concludes as fol-
lows:
These are some of the reasons why it is wise
to begin with Florida-wise to test the practi-
cability of this scheme by applying it first to
Florida. When once prov ed, and its full pow
er understood and appreciated, it will be readi-
ly resorted to as the best treatment for the 9TH
er rebellious States. In Ia few years all the dam
the country be made stronger, more united,
and more prosperous than ever.
Mr.. FoRNEY, the Washington correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Press and the
editor of the Chronicle, abiding to the
same subject, says:
I will not be surprised if long before the meet
ing of the next Congress full Republican del
egation is chosen from Florida, representing
the free people of that State and sustaining the
principles and the policy of the present Admin
istratiOn. 1t is certainly not going beyond the
limits of discretion to say that arrangements
are now making to fulfill this bold and signifi-
cant programme
This is the latest abolition coup d'eta, on
paper 1t is proposed to send a tribe of
abolitionists to Florida which, We are told,
from its peculiar position can easily be
defended against the entire force of the
rebel armies" and permit them, under the
protection of soldiers, to elect members of
Congress. This is, certainly, "bold and
significant programme" worthy the dem
agogues who conceived it. What next?

The Nightcap Disgrace.

Gen. RosEoRANs has hit upon an expedi-
emit that will probably put an end to cow
ardly surrender to the enemy. Officers
and men-so runs the order-who are
proven guilty of surrendering in cowardly
manner, are to be adorned with nightcaps,
and, made thus conspicuous, are to be sent,
under guard, to Camp Chase. The first
infection of this humiliating punishment
occurred in Nashville on the 26th inst.
Fifty paroled officers and men were
marched through the streets, dressed in
nightcaps, and sent to Camp Chase. They
will not be permitted to remove the badge
of their cowardice and disgrace till they
have reached Columbus.

Late News from New Orleans.

The steamship Roanoke arrived at New
York on the 26th, from New Orleans on
the 10Th. The intelligence she brings is of
highly important character, A series of
orders had recently been issued by General
BUTLER, which serve as additional proof
that no difficulty can arise in his Depart
ment which he is not able to grasp The
property within the District recently pos
sessed by our forces under General WET
EEL. to be known as the Lafourche District,
is declared sequestrated, and all sales or
transfers of it are forbidden. This Dis
trict comprises all the Territory of Louis
lana lying west of the Mississippi, except
ing the parishes of Plaquemine and Jeffer-
son. A Commission is appointed to take
possession of the Distaict, and the sugar
plantations are to be worked by them
where they are not worked by their own
ers, and negro or white labor may be en-
ployed at discretion. All property belong
ing to disloyal persons is to be inventoried
and sold for the benefit of the Govern
ment, under the provisions of the Confis-
cation Act. Another order suppresses dis
tilleries and other manufactures of strong
drink. Another one announces that any
officer found drinking intoxicating liquors
in any public drinking place will be rec
commended to the President for dismissal
from the service. Another one suppresses
the newspaper known asthe National Ad-
uocate, for an improper publication. Still
another prohibits the arrest of any slave
unless the person arresting knows that
such slave is owned by loyal citizen.
General SHEPIEY, as Military Governor of
the State, has also issued two important
orders. One directs an election of two
members of Congress from the First and
Second Congressional Districts of the
State. The election is appointed for the
Sd of December, and is to fill vacancies in
the Thirty-seventh Congress. The other
exempts household goods from seizure to
the amount of $500. DIS m# =,

Respect.
The Government has at last concluded
to heed the warning uttered by the people
of the great central loyal States, at the
November election. This is shown by the
order of the Secretary Of War, directing
the unconditional release of the political
prisoners, who have filed Fort Warren,
Fort Lafayette, and the other Bastiles Of
the land.
That any man guilty of REASONABLE prac-
tees should be arrested and punished to
the extent of the law, will be disputed by
no one who is not already traitor in his
heart. But that any citizen should be ar
rested on vague suspicion of disloyalty, i'm
INJURED in dungeon, confined there for
months together, charged with no crime,
confronted with no accuser, but simply
held in solitary confinement until it pleases
the Government to release him; and, even
then, set at liberty only after subscribing
to an oath which has unlawful conditions,
and which, if voluntarily taken, would
amount to a confession of crime, and thus,
to a justification of arrest that this should
be tolerated and sustained, presupposes
universal degradation of manhood, which
would fit the people for no condition above
that Of slavery. Yet this latter has been
the daily practice, more especially since
Mr.. STANTON became Secretary of War /;
and, until the late elections, it was not
known that the people had spirit enough in
them to protest against the further exer-
else of such despotic power. They have so
protested, and it is fortunate for the peace
of the North that their protest has been
needed.
This question of military arrests, was
more directly at issue in the New York
canvass, than elsewhere. There, it was
given distinctive prominence by all the
conservative candidates and speakers.
Gov. SEYMOUR particularly inveighed
against the barbarous practices of the Gov
eminent, and everywhere solicited ver-
dict against the despotic decree that the
liberties of the whole people were contin-
gent upon the will of the President, or his
Secretary of War. The public addresses
of Gov. SEYMOUR, since the election, show
very clearly in what light he views that
verdict; and the warning he has uttered,
that, under his administration, the citizen
Of New York shall enjoy the personal rights
to which he is entitled under the law,
shows how intelligently and firmly he
means to obey the popular will.
We have been, for year past, here in
the North, drifting towards despotism,
absolute and irresponsible. The popular
demonstration, in favor of the guarantees
of the constitution, was not made day too
soon for the well-being of the country.
And more, perhaps, than to the efforts of
any other man, this manly, patriotic de-
mand of the people for the maintenance of
the political and personal rights and privi-
leges which are granted by the laws, is due
to the high stand taken in the New York
canvass by HoRAuo SEYMOUR. The voice
of the Empire State, speaking even infor-
mally through him, has been potential
for good.
