sailed hy the city prrss, for proposing
tha, all msilablo matter that legitimateIy
belongs TO the mails, should be carried
through that medium, aud should ray its
equitable proportion OF revenue to the
Government. The metropolitan journals
enjoy immuni,ics aud privileges outside
of the mails, which arc not available 20
the country press, and hence they have
grown arrogant and insolent We can
not see why the Government has no,
the same jurisdie,ion over newspapers
that il has over letters. The city dailies
cvsde the mails aud thus deirsud the

that the Tact that Gen, Hunter proposes
to command in person, will in no sort in-
terfere with the enterprise. The Chica-

Ia this connection il Is proper TO say

asked as to the probability Of General
Hunters taking command, aud replied,
that there was work enough for both, in
deed too much for enc ;and that he should
prefer 10 be relieved OF the thousand and
one details that must devolve upon the
senior cthcer, IA order TO devote himself
more wholly TO his own command. lie
said there was the most perfect accord be-
tween Gen. Hunter and himself, aud that
whether General Hunter took the field OF

Mrs. Fry, wife of the gallant Colonc
8. $. Fly, Of the Fourth Kentucky Reg
imcnt, received letter ut Danviie, on
Friday last, frcm Col. Fly, written after
tho battle near Somerset. He details in
the letter the manner in which he killed
Gen. Iollicoflor, which varies somewhat
from the many statements we have seen.
Col. Fry was In the act of leading his
regiment into charge upon the Mssip-
plans, when Gem Zollicoffer, accompa-
MED by his aid, rode up 10 him and said:
."fou are not going to fight your friends,
are you! These mtn (pointing TO the
Mississppians) are all your friends" In
the mean time Zollicofler's aid fired upon
Colontl Fry, dirg his horse, from
which wound the animal died. Colonel
Fry then turned and frodupon ZolicofIer
with fatal effect. Gen. IL. evidently la
bored under tho impression that Colonel
Fry WINS rebel officer. The stories
about the old intimacy oflhc two officers
are all untrue. They had never met be-
fore, nor did Colonel Fry know the rank
OF the officer upon whom he fired, ms the
evidence Of his rank was covered by q
cloak which General ZolIicoffrr wore in
bnttle.--LouisuiHe Journal, 2Sth.

Secretary Chsse, IN his letter to the

he has great aversion 10 maginQ anything
but coin a legal tender in payment OF

consequences Of the suspenrion Of the
banks to procure coin enough for dis
bursemerts. II Is therefore indispensable
10 resort TO the issue Of note; and unless
they be made legal tender, discrimina-
tion will be made against them. The
Committee, he continues, doubtless feel
the necessity Of accompanying this meas
ure by tho legislatio necessary TO secure
the highest credit. ns well as the largest
currency Of these notes. This security
can be found, in my Judgment, by proper
provisions for funding them in iniereAt-
bearing bonds, by well-guarJed legisla-
ton, authorizing their banking associa-
tions with a circulation based on bonds in
which the notes are funded, and by O ju-
dicious system of adequate taxation which
will not only create demand for the
notes, but by securing the prompt pay
mcnt Of the interest, raise and sustain 'hc
credit Of the bonds. Such legislation, IL
may be hoped, will divest the legal tender
clause Of the bill ofits Injurious tenden-
cies, and secure the earliest possible re-
turn to sound currency of coin and Of
promptly convertible notes.
