The Soldiers Families.

Its argued with no little plausibility,
that the potent cause Of desertion from the
Confederate ranks is the dependent condi-
ton Of many Of the soldiers families, and
the failure Of the people who have remain
ed at home to provide for their wants. The
remedy proposed by Dir. Seldom, IN the
Senate, some DAYS since, seems to be APP
plioable aud eAioacious He proposed that
the county courts shall be required to es-
tablish warehouses for the distribution OF
provisions, etc., to the soldiers families ~
We trust that something OF this sort will be
enacted without delay. The courts should
also be mpowered to authorize the county
agents to sell surplus articles from the ware
houses at cost, to soldiers wives. or others,
who might be indisposed to accept or in

greater portion Of the day without decis

/: formed, Breckenridge's being ia the rear.
The first line advanced on the enemy qour-
ing destructive fire into his ranks, aud
when their assault had accomplished all it
could, these who had not fallen lay down to
allow the second line to advance. which
likewise made a gallant charge. But the
enemy confessed the gsound with powerful
resistance and finally breckenridge line
advanced over the bloody ground and
charged the enemy with an impetuo ity
which overcame his stubborn resistance, and
some time after dark succeeded in driving
him completely from the field, and the dl
vision slept mile beyond the position
which the enemy had held by the most des-
perate fighting This most gallant charge
completed the work Of the day, and the
field and the victory was ours, but the

long lists ofkilled and wounded. especially
il Breckinridge's division will tell how
dearly the victory was Obtained. The
deeds Of Breckenridge at Shiloh, Baton

are al of the same character. NO more

Letter From Captain Manitt.

Capt Mafft, Of the Florida, at Brest,
writes letter La Patrie, paris, explain
ing the position Of his ship according to IN
ternational law. He says:
BREsr, Sept. ~, 1868
Sir: Your number Of the 10Th inst. con-
tains two errors, which I beg permission to
rectify. 1t states: Two incidents have
just taken place in France and England
which interest the American question. The
first is the seizure at Brest, by French
ship owner of the Confederate privateer
Florida, who claims from her an indemnity
of 100 600 francs for the loss of a vessel
belonging to him, and which was senk by
the said privateer." On this FIRST point |
have the honor to assure you that, in spite
Of tie threats Of certain persons who pre-
tend to have claims against the corvette
Florida, she has not been yet seized.
] protest II the most formal and energet-
lie manner against the second allegation !;
the Florida has never had any reason for
sinking a French vessel; that assertion is
false, aud | refer you % that point to the
letter published by NJ. Pecquet du Belief,
in the Ocean, Of Brest, which contains
! faithful relation Ct the incidents Of the en-
counter which took place between the Flor
| ida and the French vessel, the Bremontier.
As to the qualification Of privateer which
you give to the corvette | have the honor
to command, it arises no doubt from the
fact Of your having been i'll informed as to
the armament Of the Florida. A privateer
according to the defnittion given by Noel
aud Chapsal, is "a, vessel armed by private
individuals with the authorization Of the
Movement" That definition has been,
[ believe, adopted by all writers who have
but little with the real situation ofthe Flor
ida That corvette has, in fact. been built
and armed BY the Government of the Con-
federate States of America, and her officers
hold their commissions from that Govern
ment :.
She carries the nationa, flag and Tie pen
nant carried by vessels Of war. and receives
her instructions directly from the Minister
Of Marine Of the Confederate States. The
European Powers having recognized the
possession by the Government Of Richmond
Of the rights Of belligerents. among which
are those of forming armies and fitting out
vessels Of war; am at loss to understand
that the fact Of my Government not being
yet officially Acknowledged, can take from
it the rights Inherent to every de focto
Government, and place it 10 the category of
a private individual filing out privateer,
and thus change the nature and true char
acer Of IT'S rational navy. Such an inter-
probation Of national law appears to me to
be uutenable. Relying on your impartiali-
ty beg yeu to iusertt this letter in the ear
