ing letter dated "Triune, Tenn, June

statements in regard to the conduct of
my regiment, or the accident which so

brigade commanders.
AS for the letter, will say, and am
personally responsible in any way, and

says:
On account Of the scarcity of the pre-

change or its equivalent, the brokers have
again raised the premium Cor gold, Il
is now held firmly at So premium, selling
rate. The brokers offer So 80 premium,
or Sl3 in currency for So in gold--a fact
which illustrates the scarcity Of coin
and not the depreciation of our paper
money. Silver is fifty cents below the
rate for gold.

Persons from New Orleans represent
the condition of the city as very gloomy
and depressing II is impossible TO es-
innate the number of old residents who
have abandoned the place under the re-
cent order. They were leaving in all
directions. Many of them have gone TO
Havana. There was no business. The
town seemed to be occupied by none but
negro soldiers. Banks has concluded t.
garrison New Orleans with 10000 negro
troops. Banks tyranny threatens Go be
more than Buffers,
About six thousand men, women and
children have lately been exiled from
New Orleans. Such a scene of whole
sale exile has not been witnessed in mod
err times. 1t carries back the world to
barbarous ages, and exhibits the Yankee
nation in the light Of one of the most
cruel, unrelenting and brutal of the
races of men that have hourished in any
sge.
The Dispatch has a long editorial on
the "Duration of the War;" and says
that ninety-nine out Of every hundred
of Southern people are making up their
minds to accept, with fortitude and re-
signation, war as their natural condition
for the remainder of their earthly ex-
islence.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE

A friend md Postmaster writes us that several
of our subscribers wish explanation Of tho
Monroe doctrine" Briefly, il was a position
taken by President Monroe, in his Annual Mes.
sage to Congress Of Dec. I'd. 1923, that tho
powers Of Europe would not be permitted TO i'm
.erfcre by force with the affairs Of any nation on
this continent. The declaration Was regarded nj
the time by foreign nations boil and even i'm.
pudent; aud many in the United States regarded
il as imprudent, since it committed their country
to armed resistance Of any such European
attempt But year alter year il was affirmed and
re.affrmed especially by politicians Of the spread
eagle" order, until the whole world came. to 70.
gard it as a settled and admissible policy. IL 10
orhpletely exploded now BY the French invasion
Of Mexico, which, if the nited States had not
already had its hands full in the war with I" the
rebels" it would have been bound by every pledge
made for the last forty ycsrS to resist. But Ma.
poleon has exploded the doctrine, and the United
States has net even manifested any concern there
at, much less gone to about it-Fay. Obt

LONG GRABS.
GEN. PILLOW AND THE PRESIDENT

| General Pillow made a speech recently to the
planters IN Alabama, to induce them to permit
| their slaves to enter Government employ as
teamsters, etc. TO show that he was not asking
them to make sacrifices that he himself would not
make, he told 6f his own losses-four hundred
negroes, four gin houses worth ten thousand dollars
each, one hundred thousand pounds of bacon,
two thousand hogs, five hundred head Of cattle
his houses and his plantations destroyed and
desolated, and twenty-one. hundred bales Of his
Cotton burned by his own Government
He stated that General Sherman had written
him a letter, couched in very polite language
offering to return his negroes to him, and to
indemnify him for all his losses, if he would
abandon the Confederate service. His answer was
General, while thank You for your courteous
letter, let me say to yon, the property that your
Government has taken from me was my own.
Your Government has got the power to rob me
OF it, but it is too poor to buy me-" Concerning
President Davis, he said "rhe President is the
very man for the position which he holds; if he
cannot conduct US through this revolution, no
man could he is man Of delicate FORM but of
large brain and patriotic heart, aud eminently
qualified in every respect for the Chief Executive
of this Confederacy" Although he thought the
President had done him justice, yet he preferred
him for President to any other man. We are
pot fighting for President Davis nor for any other
man, bus for our rights as freemen; and as for
himself he would, if he had it to do over, vote for
Jefferson Davis for President, if he knew that he
would place him in dungeon during this whole
war.
The Southern Christian Advocate says such
remarks evDce noble and upseIfsh patriotism,
that sets the country above SELF aud we take great
pleasure in recording aud recommending them
to the notice of whatever selfish churl may be
looking to his own gain and honors, rather than to
his eountrys veal.
