Bravo for lsham, the Grand Mogul,
Sultan and Autocrat of Tennessee -
How impudently the rascal lied when
he spoke of "yiolated homes, wives and
daughters in Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri He knew it was a baseless
liondish calumny uttered against our
chivalrous troops, although it would have
been true in too many instances if said
Of the rebel soldiers. But he says that
every Tennessean is ready to lay down
his life rather than suffer the invader TO
enter the State. That means, of course,
that every rebel will die rather than al
low the Union troops to march into
Tennessee. And what did this peddler
of brave words do when the Union
troops came Did he fight? No! Did
he look mad No! Well, what did he
do? Why he turned white about the
gills, and ran like scared dog

We stated in yesterdays issue that
Capt. Brown of Louisiana, brother-in-lsw
Of Gov. Isham G. Harris, was captured by
General Dumont in the fight at Lebanon
In this we were mistaken. He was not
captured but slain, his horses, pistols and
negro were captured But Capt. w. H..
Harris LIST Tennessee Regiment OF cayal-
.ry was captured, and is now prisoner.
We understand that he is great favor
lite with many Of the disloyal ladies of
Nashville, and that they arc greatly in
censed because they have not been per-
raitted to lionize this gallant cavalier,
and strew his pathway with roses; that
they are outraged that General Dumont
does not give him the freedom Of the
city, to visit his friends unFestrained,
taking his word that he willreturn when
required That he is a capital object OF
admiration there is no doubt but why
we have been unable to guess, unless
indeed it may be because he is the wretch
who, in the Nashville Daily Gazette Of
Dec. / 1861, advertised for dogs, blood
hounds, to hunt down the loyal citizens
of Tennessee, for no crime but love Of
country.
The following is the notice as we find
itin that print. The other miscroant is
still al large:

cratic party; It was and is the most embit.

most narrow and most selfish OF aligarchies.

70 sympathize with oGgarchyin its proudest

Complaints are made against the Admin
lstration,l There never was and never will
be an Administration that does not REQUIRE
to be watched. But the people have chosen
their President; and we who preferred an.
other public servant must now consent to
give vigor to the man who is the President
under the Constitution. To harp upon what
Is past and gone and irreme1iable would be
useless the graver question affecting pnr-
sonal liberty must be settled in such a way
as to leave no dangerous precedent. Mean
time, we cannot suffer the country to 90 to
pieces because the President has committed
errors. Let, then, the voice of this dis.
trict and this city be, distinctly heard in
favor OF an immediate vigorous prosecution
Of the war.
For one, will not give vote for any
man whose election would be an encourage
ment to the rebellion to hold out. 1, for
one, will not consent to send our sons and
brothers to the battlefield and then betray
them at the polls,
To represent such district as the Eighth,
in such city as New York, is as high a
trust as can devolve on any man. The dis
trict should be rightly represented null
tiplication of candidates will leave the result
very much to chance. l must therefore,
ask your leaye to decline your nomination
and having done this, | can without re-
proach entreat that there may be such op-
portunity offered for deliberation as will
lead to union of all those who feel deeply
for their country in this hcuro Of her triLula.

tiles. Forty others had been arrested, and
the names of the most of the members
learned. The Journal referring to the "con-
spiracy." says:
1t appears that information Of this organ
ization was given to Gen. Burgevin by
citizen of Van Bnren county, and volun-
teer in the Confederate service. The names
of the leaders are we'll known, and if those
who are in hot persuit of them ever succeed
in overtaking them, it wonld be we'll to ac
quaint them with some Of the peculiar uses

We have been permitted to peruse the
constitution of this organization. tits call
ed peace and Constitutional Society,"
They have 700 members in Searcy, Van Bu-
ran, Newton and Isard counties, and LOO
in the whole State. They have a regular
sy stem of signs and passwords, and are fur
nished with supplies OF money from the
Northern camps. The constitution makes
it obligatory npOn every member to hazard
his life in aid of another in distress, and the
penalty of expressing any of the secrets of
the organization is death. Gen. Burgevin,
who was mastering in a regiment at Carroll
ton, as soon as he heard of the conspiracy,
at once hurried down to the counties above
named, to take such steps as might be ne
cessary. At Clinton he saw Col. j. b. Lew
S, who assured him of the correctness of
the report. COL Lewis had called out q
guard of 100 men, and was az that time
making arrests, and Gen. Burgevin, being
satisfied, from his we'll known energy OF
character and fearless nature, that the mat
ter was in good hands,' left the control of
the whole affair to that officer.
Col. Lewis reports that those already
taken we're we'll supplied with arms and
ammunition, and infers that those still at
large are equally well equipped. Gen. Bur
gevin reports further to the authorities in
reference to the disafiection of the people
in that section, and gives the names of eer-
tain individuals engaged in fomenting dis
content among them.
Those who have been taken acknowledge
their crime, plead nothing extenuating but
only beg for their lives. Our authorities,
however, are fully informed upon the whole
subject, and we hope, if necessary, the ex.
tremest measures will be resorted to in or
der to suppress all treason, and secure TO
the people immunity from civil war in their
midst.

FORTRESS MoNROE.-Gov. fletcher, la.
ments the inability of Virginia to get pos
session of Fortress Monroe. In his late
message he says:
1t is to be regretted that Fortress Monroe
is not in our possessions; that it was not as
easily captured as the Navy Yard and Har-
per's Ferry. As far back as the 9Th of Jan
uary last / consulted with gentleman
whose position enabled him to know the
strength of that fortress, and whose expert
ence in military matters enabled him to
form an opinion as to the number OF men
that would be required to capture it. He
represented it to be one of the strongest
Notifications in the world. and expressed
his doubts whether it could be taken unless
assaIed by water as we'll az by land, and
simultaneously. He etated emphatically
and distinctly, that with the force then in
the fortress II would be useless to attempt
its capture without large force, thoroughly
equipped and well appointed. At no time
previous to the secession of Virginia had we
a military organization sufficient to justify
an attempt to take it, and events since that
occurrence demonstrate very clearly that
with our military organization since, and
now existing, it has not been deemed pru.
dent to make the attempt.

citOr of the Court Of Claims, to strike from
the docket the case of Charles VS.. the United
States, on the ground that on account of his
being q citizen of seeded State he was to
be regarded, in the absence of proof to the
contrary, as being himself in rebellion
against the Government, and as rebel,
had forfeited all claim against the Govern
ment, will be sustained. The effect OF this
decision will be to abrogate one-tbird of the
claims against the Government now pend

NAVIGATION OF THE AMERICAN. - The
Steamer Defiance, Captain Gibson, left the
levee on Saturday afternoon at two O'Clock,
for an excursion up the American river.
In consequence of the injuries received by
her collision with the Sacramento and YolO
bridge she was not in good running order.
She passed Lisle's brdge-carried away by
the recent food-and reached a point be-
low Norris bridge. While in sight of this
structure it yielded to the force of the
food and portion of it was carried off.
The Defiance took from various houses on
the river near Rabel's tannery and Bar
NUNS slough some five women and fifteen
children and brought them to the city. The
Defiance made another excursion up the
American yesterday. II is presumed that
one object Of these excursions is to look
out an eligible spot for an embarcadero-
second HOboken-to which goods may be
taken by steamer from this city and forward.
ed by cars, teams, ETC., to the mountains.
She bad not returned at dusk last evening.

THE FLOOD AT YUBA CITY.-The late freshet
was as proportionably extensive at Yuba
City as elsewhere. and left only three houses
out Of water. The damage done was not
so great as at the previous foods, and the
County Court House is said to be actually
improved by it. The food Of the 9th of De-
cember did not get inside of the building,
but so affected the outer walls they settled.
leaving the floors and partitions up SO high
that everything was out of shape, and the
building supposed to be ruined quite ; but
the last food got inside and caused the
floors to settle so much that the building is
now about even and can be made as good
as new, which is getting some good from
q great evil.-[Marysville Appeal.

SECRETARY CHASE's REPoRT.-A New
York letter of December 10th thus alludes
to the report of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury:
The long agony of financial circles is
over, and the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury is at hand. 1t relieves the appre-
tensions of our most cautious bankers, who
feared Mr.. Chase would recommend an un-
limited issue of demand notes, the effect of
which would be as seen in the history of
French assignats, Continental money and
irredeemable bank money the world over,
to produce ultimately public distress. The
report happily relieves all apprehensiOns on
that score, as Mr.. Chase evidently objects
to these demand notes as much as the bank
ers themselves, though all the spectators
in the country are in favor of them, as the
the obvious tendency would be TO give us
glorious good times for six months or year
ending up with terrible smash when the
day of settlement came. The recommends
tOn that he really makes. for the Govern
ment to furnish currency to the different
banking associations. rather puzzles finan-
ciers here, and was, no doubt, not intended
to be very definite. 1t is evident that so far
as Mr.. Chase is concerned, the measures
OF the various bills which he will urge for
the adoption of Congress, in relation to this
matter, will be founded upon sound finan-
cial principles. SO that we shall leave as lit
tie as possible on the future. We shall
doubtless have all the advantages OF great
National Bank without many of its disad-
vantages. At least, the objection to the
old United States Bank, that it was an en-
gine of political influence, will not be ap-
plcable 10 the new method of remOdeling
the currency Of the country.
