GFrOm the Richmond wing, Oct, l.

Nothing is more easy than to accuse
poor Mr.. Memminger Of bringing all our
trouble upon us. II is not our part 10
aggFsvate these accusations by charging
him with great but misapplied abilities.
lie has dons aNhis knowledge enabled him to
do. A second rate lawyerin Charleston,
famous for the energy and persistence
with which he collected small bills and
dunned petty debtors, his elevation to
the head of the Treasury wAsla stroke
of fortune which must have astonished
the good man very much. He has done
his best but he has been overtasked, that
is all.
But take Confederate money at it's
market value to-day, and see if il is Mr..
Memminger's fault that the cost of living
is SO ruinOus. 4 Confederate dollar is
,Oorth, say ten cents IN silver or gold. There
fore ten Confederate dollars ought to buy
as much as gold or silver dollar in old
times. But will they? Let us see. In
old times gold dollar would buy ten
pounds of sugar or coffee, or ten Yards
of calico. Not1-G. daystel Confederate dol
lars t0iU bug about three pounds of sugar,
a polt,,d and half Of coffee, and yard and
quarter Of calico. So there is something
more than deprecated currency at the bottom
Of these rlti1oIs prices.
"Things are scarce" Yes, but not so
scarce as producers would have you be-
lieve. The Government wanted TO buy
bacon in Georgia. None to be had. Su-
gar was offered In exchange, and bacon
came in plentifully. Sixty thousand
pounds Of bacon were found in Vicks-
burg after the garrison had surren-
dered on the 4th Of July for the want of
something TO eat.
The fact is, there is such thing as
boarding. Hence, an artificial scarcity
hence high prices; hence a salary of
| $1,000 a year barely pays day board,
leaving nothing for room-rent, fuel, lights,
clothes, taxes, doctors bills, and other
incidentals. Hoardingl Gould a hu
man being hoard the necessaries of life
when his fell0w-msn are struggling fof
existence They say so. They say salt
was boarded last spring and will be
again this fall. They say farmers are
boarding their wheat at this moment, and
compelling poor people 20 pay $45 and
$50 barrel for -four, when they might
get il tor $25, if the wheat were sent "a
the mills. They say there is man in
this city who has upwards OF hundred
hOgsheads of sugar boarded away. They
saw there is plenty Of -four boarded ID
cellars and garrets. They say that these
merciless auctioneerB can always find
some where ga friend who has few bar
rels Of sugar 20 deal out as prices con.
tinue TO rise. Every rise in sugar brings
ost few more barrels from the secret ant

LOUISVILLE, Sunday, Oct. A, 1865


Rev. j. A. Haywood, Of this city, a
prominent and most useful membe Of
the Sanitary Commission, spoke this
evening at his Unitarian Church, Of his
visit 10 Chattanooga since the battles for
its possession. He says he found the
Army OF the Cumberland, as General
Garfield told him, never 80 much = unit,
never so yitalized by the true spirit
the soldiers, generally, calm, hopeful
and cheerful, their spirits chastened, but
never so resolute, devoted, seIf-sacriicing,
unfiinching and unconquerable. He saw
no evidences Of Generalization or dis
organization. Gen. Rousseau, who Ar
rived at Chattanooga the night Of the
goth, on the next morning, by direction
Of Gen. Roseerans, found all the scatter
ed soldiers and returned them 10 their
respective regiments and companies with
in four hours. J..l

SPIRIT OF TEE PRESS --PEAoE fRorosrTIoNs.
[From the Richmond Examiner, oct.Il
We notice that recent propositions
have been made in several Of our State
Legislatures for negotiations with the
enemy, and suits for armistice. These
deserve an unqualified condemnation. They
are generally made in artful language (;
they are very innocent on their face !;
they are always accompanied by certain
protestations that the interest of the
South is not to be sacrificed that the
object is an honorable" peace, and that
the negotiation Is TO be an essay on
Christian charity. There IS no possible
truth in such prctestations. They are the
convenient covers Of traitorols designs, OF Of
oOt0ardly aequiescace in Ae failure Of our
struggle.
1t is not wonderful that these sugges-
tions in our State Legislature of pacific
negotiations should be invariably inter-
preted by the North as covert PROPOSE
tions ofreconstruction. To every can
did mind in the Confederacy they can
mean nothing else. In what other pos
sible sense can negotiations be extended
to the enemy, in the face of increased
Republican msjorities in the North, and
the recently aggravated demands of its
Government, its Press and every organ of
public opinion, for the conclusion of the
war in our entire subjugation. In the
face OF these facts negotiation can only
mean our surrender, and the solicitation
Of it is the mean and cowardly signal Of
our defeat.
It is useless to say that these propo-
sitions are only experimental, and that
they can only prove harmless cOquetries
with the enemy: for as such they are
undignified and indecent. But their
real inspiration is deeper than that of
cApricious experiment. Those who
desire a Suggestion ct rsaoe to be made
now to the North know very well what
its price would be, and not few of them
are already fully prepared to pay il by
the art Of "National Convention" and
with the decency Of diplomatic indirec-
ton.
We congratulate the Legislature Of this
State on the signal rebuke it has given
10 two attempts at peace propositions in
that body. 1t hss:shown spirit worthy
Of the ancient and honorable Common
wealth of Virginia, and one that should be
inculcated in the war II is that of reso-
lution to prosecute the war without be-
ing turned aside by useless and impa-
tient speculations Of peace; expecting
that blessing only in the sustained and
increased success Of our arms, and await
ing ii with a calm and intelligent conf
dence in the progress of events.

did she take her little sister only two years old with
her, to her secret place Of retirement and try to tsach
her infant lips to follow her in PRAYER. Every day
when the older children Of the family would repea,
their scripture verses for the day. this little babe with.

text, Suffer little children to come unto me- and
forbid them not" She took great delight in attend.

and when on her dying bed, though suffering great

a hymn s~eetIy and touchingly Oh! wonderful
work Of grace on the heart Of this lovely child.
While crushed hearts mourn the loss Of their precious
loved one, they can rejoice TO feel that the Great
