The. Richmond Enquirer charges that the
National Government keeps sssCisSoTs
mani at Fortress Monroe, who edits the
Southern papers for Northern reading. II
publishes an article under the above cap
tion, which it says willnot be copied north
of Richmond: The article says:
aThe Emperor is duly informed, or ought

cation With which the Confederates have
looked upon the establishment Of so good

Nothing is more easy than TO accuse
poor Mr.. Memminger of bringing all our
trouble upon us. It is not our part to ag.
grayate these accusations by charging him
with great but misapplied abilities. He
has done all bis knowledge enabled him to
do. A second rate lawyer in Charleston,
famous for the energy aud persistence with
which he collected small bills and dunned
petty debtors, his elevation to the head of
the Treasury was stroke of fortune which
must have astonished the good man very
much. he has done his best, but he has
been oIertasked-that is all. -.e..
{ Bot take Confederate money at its mar.
ket value to day, and see whether II is Mr..
Memminger's fault that the cost of living
is so ruinous. A Confederate dollar is
worth, say ten cents in silver or gold.-
Therefore ten Confederate dollars ought to
old times, But will they2 Let us see. In
old times gold dollar would buy ten
pounds of sugar OF coffee or ten yards Of
calico. Nova daysten Confederate dollars
will buy about three pounds of sugar, a
pound and q half of coffee, aud a yard and
a quarter of calico, So there is something
more than deprecated currency at the bot
tom ofthese ruinops prices.
tThings are scarce" Yes, but not so
scarce as producers Ronld have you be-
lieve. The Government wanted to buy
bacon in Georgia. None to be had. Sn.
gar was offered in exchange, aud bacon
came in plentifully. Sixty thousand pounds
of bacon were found in Yicksburg after
the garrison had surrendered on the 4th Of
July for the want of something 10 eat.
The fact is, there is such a thing as
boarding, Hence, an artificial scarcity
hence high prices; hence salary of 81, 800

From the Richmond Rmminer, oct 1. 7


Ifs From the Richmond Examiner, Oct ].
I'VE notice that recent propositions have
been made 10 several OF 0pr State LegislR-
lures forinegotiations with the enemy and
suits torIaTmistice. These deserve an un-
qualified condemnation. They are gener.
ally made in artful language, they are
very innocent on their face; they are al.
ways accompanied by certain protestations
that the interest of the South is not to be
sacrificed that the 0bjtct is an "hOnOra-
BILE" peace, aud that the negotiation is TO
be an essay on ChristiaG charity. There
IL no possible truth in snGh protestations.
They are the convenient covers of traitor
Gus designs, or of cowaIdly acquiescence
in the the failure of our struggle. s,Ga =
It is not wonderful that these sugges.
tions in our State Legislatures OF pacific
negotiations should be invariably interpre-
ted by the North as covert propositions of
reconstruction. To every candid mind in
the Confederacy they can mean nothing
else. In what other possible sense can
negotiations be extended TO the enemy, in
the face of increased Republican majorities
in the North, and the recently aggravated
demands of it's Government its Press and
every organ of public opinion, for the con-
clusion of the war in our sntire subjuga.
tiOn. In the face of these facts negOtia-
tion can only mean our surrender, aud the
solicitation of it is the mean and cowardly
signal of our defeat .ta-a
RI IL is uselsssiIto say that these proposi.
,tions are only experimental and that they
can only prove harmless coquetries with
the enemy; for as such they are Indignifis
ed and indecent. But their real iuspira-
tton is deeper than that of capricious
experiment. Those who desire sugges-
tiouIof peace to he made now to the North.
know very well what its price would be,
and not a few of them are already fully
prepared to pay it by the art of a "National
Convention" !" and with the dsceney of di-
plomatic indirection.
We congratulate the Legislature of this
State on the signal rebuke it has giVeR to
two attempts at peace propositions in that
body, Il has shown spirit worthy ofthe
ancient and honorable Commonwealth of
Virginia, and one that should be inculcat-
ed In the war. 1t is that OF resolution TO
prosecute the war without being turned
aside by useless and impatient specula.

TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8.
80 The circulation of the Gazette has
steadily increased, until now it has a large per
manent subscription list, besides transient

advantages for advertising. The sheet on
which it is printed has been found large enough
TO contain the pith Of all the news Of the day.
with whatever of local matters are OF interest to
the citizens and it's size, therefore, tor the
present, and under existing circumstances, has
been no impeachment to It's usefulness and
the business portion of the community would

tronage.

ST. JOINS. September 8.-The steamer
Adriatic, from Liverpool via Galway,
passed Cape Race to-day, and the follow
ing news was obtained:
The Times, in an editorial, admits that
the question of building ships for the
Confederates is becoming serious and
urgent But no concession can be made
to menace; the laws must take their
course
The Times hopes that, if the rams are
really intended for the Confederates, the
laws may be strong enough to stop them

P1RIs, August 31.-A decree has been
issued for striking medal commemora-
tive of the Mexican expedition, and that
it be distributed to all who have partici-
pated in the campaign.
1t is reported that Russia viii not re-
ply to the three notes, but will give
constitution to Poland and Germany.
In Frankfort it is thought, If the Con-
gress of Princes does not prove satisfac-
tory, that revolution may follow.
After burning a Polish village, the
Russians sent to Siberia all its inhabit-
ants-men, women and children 600

it? How can the Express be so favored
with an insight into the rebel plans and
intentions, unless it is regarded by them
as an ally They are not in the habit of
trusting their enemies to such an extent
The President says he has received no
intimation from the rebel leaders of
peace compromise Yet the Express
asserts that ''tce knolc" that was the OBJ
ject of Stephens mission. Unfortunate
ly, however, for the Erpress's ver-
acity, its co-laborers at Richmond
emphatically deny that such was
the object of Stephens They admit
that his only design was to entrap our
Government into an indirect acknowl-
edgment of the rebel government and
authorities BY holding official communi-
cation with them as such. Old Abe was
too old bird to be caught with chat,
and the result was crySof indignant
modification from rebel papers, and de-
nunciation of the rebel authorities for
placing their government in SO humili-
ating an attitude The Express knows
all this, and yet it perversely lies to
weaken the influence of the letter with
the people.

The era of greenbacks, therefore, must
go on and reign. More paper money
must be made, and more and more.
More huge piles of National debt must
/ be piled up, and more and more. More
taxation must be levied upon the people,
and more and more. More cOnscriptions
must come on, and more and more. We
are doomed to Blood and Carnage as
long as Abraham Lincoln is President of
the United States. The war is not an
inch nearer an end than when it was be-
gun-under the programme here set
forth-unless peace results from the
utter exhaustion of the people of the
North-which never will come as long
as greenbacks live and thrive, and -four
