Letter from Gen. John Cochrsnc.

To The Editor Of The ~ Y Tribrns
SIR: 1t is not often that attempt 10 correct the
errors Of newspaper. But, the error which you
have committed and Of which / complain, 10 90
serious, that cannot observe silence One Of your
late issues contains tho report Of the Joint COMMITTEES
of Congress on the Conduct Of the War. The report
consists Of the unsupported opinions Of the member
Of the Committee except where, at rare intervals,
extracts from the record Of facs before them, have
been submitted to the public. The greater satsfsc-
ton and the clearer conviction produced by the evil
dence Of the case, whenever vouchsafed indicate,
how much moro desirable it Is that the public, in
stead Of being subjected to the opinions Of others,
should be permitted to judge for themselves But
the Committee was Of a different mind; and their
omission to confirm their conclusion at part Of thsir
report, that Gen. Newton and assayed an injury "a
Gen. Burnside, demands that should expose the
injury which the Committee with your assistance
have inflicted upon The report states that after
an order was issued that the army should DO in
readiness to move at twelve hours notice, Cen
Newton and "came up TO Washington on leave Of
ABSENCE" Thus, as it insinuated, IL not directly
charged that while under orders TO move at twelve
hours notice, applied for aud obtained leave Of sb.
sence from tho army. This is not true. The evil
dence before the Committee is, that Twas not aware
when left, thas order for q movement had beer
issued that directed, in of such Order thai
should be teegraphsd to return, and that did moi
learn of the order referred to until after my return
The Committee affirm, and you repeat, that previous
to obtaining leave Of absence from Gen. Franklin
Gen Newton and / informed chin and Gen. VIM
+. Smith that when We came 10 Washington We
tbsyl should take the opportunity to represent tc
some one in authority there lherel the dispiritec
condition Of the army" &c. There isno such evi
dence. I, however, did testify, and the Committee
have the evidence, that representation was made
10 either Gen. Franklin or Gen. Smith Of such pur
pose; but that had at various times previously 10
with Gen. Newton about tho condition
of the army, remarked that il had an opportunity
would think it my duty TO represent it's deploraole
state to those in authority at Washington.
The Committee further report that when reached
Washington endssyored to find certain member,
of Congress to whom to mako the desired communi-
cation. From the context l judge that tho Commit
tee were DESTROYS that the inference should DO 40
cepted that sought the conference Of certain NOM
bers unfavorabs TO the Administration and the war;

OF them. who have the means, are paying their own
To which they are subject in the army, as well as
outside Of our lines. The prospect Of their raising
anything on the plantations is poor, since outside Of
the lines they must work as slaves, and inside o.
them they have no adequate protection, and their
crops would be destroyed. The time may come when
these people can inhabt these rich bottom lands a.

the error
The adaptation is good, although furnished with
one or two irnperfections Of style. Compared how
ever, WITH other uansations which have dsgraced
the stage OF New-York this season, it is very ex-
cellent piece OF writing The scene has been trans
ferred from France to England through what neces-
sity we were unable to discover. Some of the
characters, however, remain Frenchmen, while the
others become English fact which interferes with
the natural effect Of the conversations The repre-
sentaton, as we have said, brilliant. Mr..
Lester Wsllack, as the rakish "son.in-law," sue.
ceeded in lifting the part above itself, and in besow-
ing some touches Of manliness to what, without bis
skill, would have appeared thoroughly despcabe
character. Mr.. John Gilbert played with great
spirit the part of the selfish faher-in-law, and Mrs.
Hoey with much grace that Of the lady with d.
videJ duty. Messrs. Mark Smith, Fisher and Young
also contributed their best 70 tho effect OF the per-
fornlance. The stage displays were the best ever
afforded at Wallack's A drawing.room scene in the
first act was nearer approach to reality than we
have before witnessed in any American tbeater.

SATURDAY MORNING. JAN. II, 1863
River and Steamboat News.

The weather has been more wintry
than ever since our last. There was .
considerable fall of snow yesterday, and
-Ae atmosphere became decidedly more
Northern in its temperature. Several
sleighs were extemporized and made
their appearance in our streets, while
sloping sidewalks, such as. Nashville un-
fortunately abounds in, were monopo-
lized by young c0asters-regular Tennes-
see Yankees. This may be called a
Southern winter with Northern principles.
Let il last till IL freezes out the rebel
army.
The river is in high way, having
risen in all over thirty feet, with no signs
of stopping. It's drift is unmistakable.
Lick branch, on the north of the city,
spreads like an inland sea, big enough to
float all the ships of the Confederate navy.
The Atlantic and some fifteen or twenty
other boats are hourly expected. We
may look for gunboats to-day of the first
water. The Leonora and Undine left
here for Louisville yesterday. The John
A. Fisher, Hamilton, Shenango, Dove
and Atlanta were in port yesterday. We
may rest easy upon the river question foi
some time to come.
We learn that the amount of stores de-
strOyed on the boats between this port
and the shoals was quite small. The
Sidell has gone up, and Lieutenant VAN
DoBN, her Commander, is prisoner in
the hands of the gnerrillas.

Important Arrest.

Our efficient city Marshal, JONI
CHUMBLEY, assisted by his active aid,
Mr.. DAHLEY, arrested yesterday eve
ming about two o'clock, WIN. K. PREss-
WOOD and j. r. WALLER; also, four dis
reputable women with them. The whole
party were taken from a Daguerrean Sa-
loon, where they had repaired for the
harmless purpose of being "taken," and
succeeded far beyond their most san
guine expectations. But we suppose that
they will not like the picture, as the posi-
ton is neither graceful or natural, and the
case is not exactly suited to their fancy
but the work is done, and it cannot be
rubbed out They were suspected of
being the men who robbed Mr.. ID. ID.
DICKEY a night or too since. They were
escorted TO the Office of the Chief of
Police, Capt. TRUEsDAn's quarters, where
an examination took place, and the fol-
lowing facts were developed: That
PREsswooD belonged TO the First Ten
nessee Cavalry, and WALKER belonged TO
the First Tennessee Infantry. Money
was found on their persons, which was
identified by Mr.. DIcKEY, thereby con-
firming the suspicion of their guilt. The
women were dismissed, but the men were
committed for further examination, which
we suppose, will take place to-day.
We are glad to see the military and civil
police acting together, as they have done
in this instance. Instances have occurred
where one would arrest and the other
release; but we hope that the same spirit
will prevail on all occasions that gov
erned them in this

The Brokers in Trouble.

There has been quite an excitement
among our money changers for several
days, in consequence of their sudden
and totally unlocked for arrest by the
Military Police Department, for the of
fence of dealing in certain scraps of pa
per with pictures on them, called Con-
federate money. The article was bought
gby them for 33 and 35 cents on the dol
lar, and sold for 40 cents, or less. In
addition to this there were other Orna-
mented scraps of paper, which were
c01lnterteitS Of the Confederate money, but
of the same actual value, which some of
the brokers were dealing in, one party
having some $4,000 of this kind of
currency. Without any published order,
or even private notification, that the
traffic in this trash was illegitimate, the
brokers were all arrested the other day
by the Military Police officer, and forced
70 disgorge all moneys purporting to be
Confederate, amounting in the aggregate
to upwards of 100000 Some of the par
ties were made TO sign an obligation that
they would no longer deal in that kind
of currency. We learn that General
MITCHELL, probably from the fact that
no order had been published upon this
matter previous TO the arrest of the bro
kers, mas ordered the police to suspend
further action in the case, until
it can be more fully investiga-
I'd. We have no doubt that the
traffic is mischievOus, corrupting, and
disloyal in its tendencies, and ough.
to be interdicted; but the summary
proceedings of the police seem to us al
together oppressive and unnecessary
The trade has been allowed TO go on fol
months in a small way, and has had, APP
parently, the tacit permission of the Fed
erAl authorities, and it would seem pro.
per that the first step in the case should
have been an order prohibiting the cir.
culation of Confederate currency. w,
believe that no general order on thi
point has ever been published.
