SOUTHERN NEWS

New York, March 25.
The Times dispatch says refugees who
arrived within our lines yesterday CON
firm the statement that the rebel army is
falling back from fredericksburg and be-
ing massed in the defenses before Rich
mond.
They state The entire force left at Fred
ericksburg on Sunday night to have been
only 5000 They also confirm the news
that the gun-making machinery and ord
nance stores are being rapidly removed
from Richmond into Georgia; that the
withdrawal of families from the city has
fully set in, and that sales of property are
being forced to a ruinous loss.
They also state that the acknowledged
loss (deplored by cavalry soldiers in Rich
naOnd,) sustained in the recent thrashing
Ayerill gave him, was between four and
five hundred killed and wounded. Among
the killed was Colonel Lagrange of North
Carolina.
The rebel guerrillas came again to-day
down our line at Chantilly and made q
feint of attack, when seventy Of our cav
airy dashed at them and chased them q
mile or two, till in passing they received q
flank fire from behind from their pickets
and barricade.
Our cavalry wheeled and fed, pursued
by the enemy, but rallied and again
charged the rebels to distance Of three
miles
One great duty with which General
Burnside is charged in his new depart.
ment is to defend Kentucky from Che ap-
pretended rebel invasion. He will be fur
uished with an ample force for that pur-
pose. Should circumstances favor, he may
cooperate with Rosecrans in Middle Ten
nessee.

To the Press Of Cleveland.
To the soldiers yet at home or absent
without leave, make one further appeal.
The time fixed by the President in which
you may return to duty without punish
ment, expires on the first day Of April.
implore you TO avail yourselves Of the
Presidents generous offer, and do not
listen to those who advise you against re-
turning TO duty. They are your worst
enemies and will lead you into difficulty
The man who will advise you to violate
your solemn oath, should be shunne5 ss q

be able to take rank through life with the
law-abiding citizens Of your neighborhood
Itis believed by the authorities at Washing
ton, that if all now absent without leave re-
turn to duty, no further call will be made up
on Ohio for troops. tits hoped that this will
stimulate the Union men throughout the
State to join in urging absent soldiers to
return to their comrades in the field.
Railroad Ticket Agents throughout the
State are authorized to issue transporta-
ton passes from their respective stations
to this city, to all soldiers offering to re-
turn, until the first (lst) day of April.

The New judge Of the supreme Court.

The New Judge OF the Supreme Court.
The President has named, and the Sen
ate confirmed, Stephen ]. Field, now Chief
Justice of California, as the tenth Judge
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
which Office was created by the last Con-
gress. He is brother of David Dudley
Field, of New York city. He is fine
general scholar, as well as a thorough
lawyer. The New York Evening Post
says, in early life he enjoyed great advan-
tages both Of study and travel. When q
boy he spent three years in The East, at
Athens and Smyrna, until he learned to
speak modern Greek like a native. He
was graduated at Williams College, in
1887, with the highest honors of his class.
After passing ten years in New York, in
184S he went abroad, and passed year
and half in Europe. Returning in the
fall of l849, just at the moment when there
was a large emigration TO California, he
removed to that State. He was a member
of the first Legislature, and introduced
and had passed the several laws concerning
the Judiciary and regulating the procedure,
civil and criminal.
In 1857 he was elected Judge of the Su-
preme Court of California; for six years
past hs)hGs been the Chief Justice Of the
State. In this position he has contributed
much to sustain the dignity of the bench.
His decisions, prepared with great care,
have been universally respected. He is
probably better acquainted with that mixed
system Of law, Mexican, Spanish and
American, which prevails in California,
than any other man in the country. No
one understood better those great lapd
cases which have furnished so much mat
ter for litigation, both to the local courts
and TO the Supreme Court of the United
States. So highly were his legal opinions
regarded, and so much were his ability
and character respected by men of all par
ties, that immediately on the passage Of
the law creating tenth Judge Of the Su
preme Court of the United States, to be
taken from the Pacific coast, the whole
California delegation united to ask the
President his appointment Il was made
by no outside influence, but OF their unani-
nous request. Judge Field is in the vigor
of manhood, 46 years of age, and we be-
lieve will long do honor to the position TO
which he is now elevated.
Though since he was raised to the bench
he has stood aloof from party politics, yet
on the breaking out Of the war, he threw
himself into the struggle, ani it is greatly
owing to him, with a few other bold lead
ers thsE California was held fast to The
Union. In his new position the Govern
ment will have no more determined sup
porter.

The Feeling In France on MIR. scwnrd's
Disuafeh.

To THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING PosT:-
As we are regaled with extracts from some
of the hireling press Of England, on the
subject of the reply Of our Secretary Of
State to the proposition Of NJ. Drouyn de
D'Huys, it is but right that the people here
should know something Of public senti-
ment in France from unpOlluted sources.
give you, therefore, an extract from a
letter received this day by the correspon-
dents of one Of the largest manufacturing
houses Of France, and which speaks for
itself:
"The reply of Mr.. Seward to The last
communication Of our Minister of Foreign
Affairs, is asit should be, and the only one
that could with proPriety be given us. The
government Of the Empire will, no doubt,
appreciate this noble language, as appears
to be the case with the immense majority
of the population here; and for our own
account We have no fears Of any kind of
conflict on this occasion between France
and the United Statesh H.B.

From the Army Of the Cumberland.
Correspondence Cleveland Leader.l

/
GALLATIN, Tennessee, March I9, 1868
Judging from letters received in the
army, the COpperheads are busy at work
in the North, through their secret maehi-
nations to subvert the Government
Among the precious mgrsels 1 select the
following scrap from letter written by q
rebel sympathizing minister from Indiana
to the Chaplain of the 10Th Ohio. After
repudiating the means used by the Govern
ment to save its own life, he concludes as
follows, viz: "Lineoln's Proclamation
says that the slaves shall all be free in
January, 1868, but God says they shall re-
main forever slaves; we will see which is
the greater General, Lincoln or God. ]
believe the Scriptures. I believe every
word in the Bible. What God says, he
will do. If slavery shall remain forever,
then Linooln's Proclamation will be void,
otherwise Lincoln will be 3 better General
than God" He denied that there were
any rebel sympathizers in the North
"Verily, thy speech 1betrayeth thee"
In regard 10 army news, can only say
large preparations are being made for the
reception Of the rebels in the event they
conclude to pay us visit. MurfreesborO
is q Gibraltar, and when the works are
completed, we can defy the whole cohorts
Of treason in the entire South. Great ac-
tivity prevails in every department, and
we may not wait for the enemy to attack
before most sanguinary fight is again
had. We are, however in any event, con-
fdent Of victory. With the heroic Rose
Grams as our leader, there win be no retro
grade movement, or saeh an inglorious
campaign as we had under Buell.. With
our enthusiastic army we can move out of
our entertainments and whip the rebels
out their bOots:" There never was greater
confidence in, or enthusiasm for, any
obieftain than this Army Of the Cumber-
land entertains for their beloved General,
who has shown his wisdom by retaining
General Garfield as Chief Of staff, that be
may have brans to counsel as well as hands
TO execute. -UI fIg lt HaElg.-

els are thick as hops" with their squads
Of cavalry on the right and on the left, as
well as pressing our lines along our whole

DEATH OF GBORGE ELDRIDeE.-A telegraph
dispatch to J. Dwight Palmer, received this
morning from Captain Simon Perkins at
Nashville, brings the sad and startling in
formation of the death of George Eldridge,
which probably occurred yesterday Mrs.
Eldridge received a dispatch last evening,
notifying her of the serious illness Of her hus-
band, and advising her to come Immediately.
She started for Nashville this morning, but
shortly after her departure the dispatch came
with the news of his death. A dispatch was
sent to New London, on the C. C. & C. Road
to stop Mrs. Eldridge and have her return.
Mr.. Eldridge was Quartermaster's Clerk
under Brigade Quartermaster Simon Per
kins, Jr. He was home on a furlough not
long since, and returned about three weeks
ago. He appeared to be in excellent health
when here, but we are informed by his fam
lily that he had very severe cough.
BE was taken with fever at Murfrees-
bOrO' after his return, and being taken back
to Nashville, he died. A short time since he
was promoted to Second Lieutsnancy.
Few men had more friends in this city
than George Eldridge. He was possessed Of
kind and generous nature, loved his friends
and endeared himself to all who were brought
in contact with him. His death falls heavily
upon a young and loving wife and an afFec-
tionate mother, and will be sincerely
mOurned by host of friends He had a
presentimont when he returned to the South
that he would never come home alive, and
the pressntiment was realized. His remains
viii be sent h9ns.

Transacfions in Coin.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
in answer to the inquiry Of an Assessor,
has decided that contracts made for the
delivery Of coin, to be performed after
period exceeding three days, must be in
writing, and signed by the parties or their
agents or attorney, and stamped, and
sum equal to one-half Of one per cent. Of
the amount Of the purchase money is to be
paid for the given quantity Of gold or sill
yer coin or bullion as the case may be-
Contracts SO made in writing, and duly
signed and stamped, are valid. In the
case Of the example given byyou, which
understand to be q contract to deliver one
thousand dollars in gold coin at sixty days
from date Of the contract, for the sum of
81 800 in currency, no stamp is required
on account Of interest. If, however, q
party should loan $1,000 in currency
upon the pledge Of s., 600 in gold or silver
coin Of the United States, such loan would
be utterly void.
