The Richmond Enquirer, in speaking
of the retaliatory resolutions of the reb .
ell Congress, relative to officers Of negro
regiments, says the Yankees will, in turn,
hang the rebel officers, and seems to be in
grief over the natter 7elegraPhic Dis
patch
No doubt of ii. The Government will
certainly reialiate. And il may posi-
bly, take a notion to hang two rebel OH :
GERS for every negro that may be hung.
Indeed, as good negro is worth $1,000,
and rebel officer is worth only his
weight in dog-meat, it might think a
larger retaliation necessary.

Notwithstanding the great efforts that have

the brain as well as for the stomach. We
know that every express and mail going to
the army carries newspapers, periodicals,
tracts and books. But, with all that are sent,
more are needed. The very best reading for

Thoughtful cLaplains and other observers

has been one cause; but that has been inter.

officers the privilege of confusing brains that
ought to be clear, and of purchasing disaste,
at the price of intoxication. Gambling has
been prolific cause; but that has been for

A letter from London to the Mobile Reg

rebellion by so many of the English newspa-
pers. 1t states that the confederate govern
ment wisely sent Mr. Henry Hozte as " kind
of envoy to the English press this was in
the early stages of the rebellion, as We infer
and that rich gentleman from Mobile
sustaiEs the Index, a weekly paper in Lon

opinions, is doing yeoman service for the
Confederacy in the London Times-for which
of course somebody pays him that Mr. Percy
Gregg writes admirable southern articles for
the Saturday Review, and for the Morning
Herald and Standard; and that the cause
of the South now engage some Of the ablest
pens of England and that to these agencies
is due the popularity of the confederate cause
in Eng land. There has been no doubt of
the fact that the British press was subsidized
by the rebels, but by what agencies it was
done has not before been disclosed. 1t ia

away-From Richmond to Charleston.
The unexpected success at Manassas left
the rebels complacency that inclined them
to mildness; the surprise and defeat at Hat
teras melted them to severity.
The southerher knows very we'll how to
conduct himself towards those whom he con-
siders his equals, but cannot understand the
claims of the needy and unfortunate. Long
usurpation Of unjust power over part of
mankind has inclined him to the belief that
he is superior being, possessing more rights,
privileges and favors than any other. Hence
his arrogance and naughty air when speak
ing to one who does not agree with him
hence his impatience of contradiction, his SUI
perciliousness to those who fall under his
power, and finally his hatred of all that is
liberal Or free in discussions or arguments
From the time that our army began to
show signs of life, their hatred of the North
began to kindle afresh, and, African like, they
vented their spleen on the unfortunate pris-
oners in their hands. The crowds outside OF
our prisons increased. The jeers taunts and
Kisses of the rabble grew in bitterness and
frequency. Our guards were ordered to fire
on any one who should look out of the win
dow. The officers in charge began to take
special notice of our actions and words, ant

The state Arrests and the Suspension of
the Habeas Corpus.

Senator Colamer of Vermont-one of the
safest counsellors and soundest LAWYERS in
Congress bill to authorize and
regulate suits for damages by persons who
claim to have been wrongfully arrested and
imprisoned by the officers of the Government !;
and in explaining 1.-THE Illuminated the whole
subject of the state arrests and the suspen-
sion Of the habeas corpus-so much befogged
and controverted in buncomb speeches and
partizan editorials-by these simple, sensible
statements -
He never saw any reasons for complaints
against Gen Jackson for saying that he must
execute the constitution as he understood it.
The executive was us: as much called upon
to construe the constitution as any other de-
partment of the government, and his con-
struction is just as binding. The different
departments of the government were co-ordi-
nate, and no one was superior to the other.
The Judiciary, when the question came before
them, decide the constitution as to the ques-
ton in suit, and it is binding SO far and no
further. The executive, during the recess of
Congress, was called upon to decide upon the
construction of that clause of the constitution
relating to the suspension of the writ OF ha-
beas corpus. No one will say that he made
eny mistake Intentionally in that construction.
But allowing that any mistake had been made,
and unconstitutional acts had been committed,
we cannot smother up and strangle uncon-
al oofc hy- ,1
laws. If the President has suspended the
habeas corpus wrongfully, we shall hardly
cure the matter by suspending all other laws.
The power of suspending the writ was to en-
able the President, in cases of emergency, fol-
the safety of the country, to arrest persons to
prevent their committing treason against the
nation, and further to hold persons who have
committed crime and prevent their being
tried; for state reasons sometimes make i,
necessary that persons should not be tried

to indemnify the President, he has the only
identification that could be had was a pecu
mary one to the person claiming to hav,
been damaged. His bill further provided fol
the xan 'fer of all these suits, so brought
against persons who made any of these arrests
to the circuit court of the United States. lr

the next thing heard of the commission sent
out by the governor, was in the Philadelphia
Inquirer in which it said they with two hun
dred and fifty men had just passed through
that city en- route for their own state.
But it seems there was no thoughts of
leaving the convalescents, for yesterday Mr.
Holbrook was making arrangements to send
them home, and ow it seem quite prorable
that ere this letter reaches its destination
another and the last squad will be on its way
to much better place for recruiting their
health than here.
All honor to good old Vermont" say the
boys; for although she moves slow yet it is
with effect and means something substantial
No greater credit is due state than when
she looks out for the comfort and welfare of
their soldiers and Vermont being the first
to take step in the right direction, deserves
and will have the thanks of all those who
take al interest in the welfare Of those en-
listed in the service of their country.
TO those who have desire to help those
who need assistance, they will have a chance,
and that too, nearer home, and although Your
correspondent remains behind, he will feel
none the less pleased to learn that his suffer
ing comrades are in good quarters-to use a
military phrase-and in good hands. I'm
doubtedly the state will be imposed upon by
some feigning sickness when they are able
to be in their regiments or on duty, but this
ought not, and | am sure, will not deter
her from doing all she can for those de-
serving assistance. Still, for those feigning
sickness when they have none there is an
expense. The prospects are it will be very
likely that those who remain here will not
have an opportunity to go to their regiments
for a long time, and one can hardly blame
men for trying their best to get out of place
that is full of suffering and disease. These
men will have an opportunity to go to their
regiments quicker from their own state than
from here, for presume they will be sent
direct to the army instead of being sent to
any convalescent camp.
They have commenced moving the men in
to the barracks as fast as completed, and in
a north or six weeks, it is quite probable
they will all be completed and the men in
them. G.

to the Mobile paper distrusts the London

NASHVILLE, October ID 1868.
Editor Of tie Nashville Union:
The editor Of the New Albany Ledger
has certainly derived his Inform alton, in
regard TO the Specification OF the word
CHIcKAMAUGA from astrange source, il he
thinks il means any thing like pleasant or
beautiful have been = resident in the
vicinity for eleven years, aud having
some curiosity in regard to language and
literary affairs, would naturally make
some inquiry about the original significa-
ton Of Indian names; and traditionary
authority generally sanctions "River Of
Death" as being the Interpretation Of
Chickamauga. But there ere some who
say, that in the Cherokee language, il
signilied Grave Yard. But no person,
white, black or Indian, has over UNDER
stood it TO mean anything like pleasant
or beautiful. The name Chickamaugs
is said TO have been given to the stream,
in consequence of the uDhealthiness Of
the climate, il being the most sickly re-
gion either in Tennessee or Georgia II
ia spoken of by some as a river. 1t is
considered creek by all persons in that
region. There are several streams in the
vicinity bearing the same name. North
Chicksmauga runs out Of Walden's
Ridge going south, and cmpties into the
Tennessee, seven miles above Chatta.
BougA.
East CnickAmauga rises near the State
lii being formed by branches from
Hamilton and Bradley counties in Ten
nessee, and Whitfield and Maury coun-
ties, in Georgia; running in western
direction to point near RiDegold, turns
nearly north, and falls into the Tenncs-
see river five miles above Chattanooga.
Above Ringgolo il is called East Chicks-
manga. The valley of this stream is
followed by the Western and Atlantic
Railroad to a point beyond RinggOld.
There are from ten to fifteen railroad
bridges on this creek. West Chicka-
manga, the creek on which the great bat
tie was fought on Saturday and Sunday,
heads in McLemore's Cove, part Of
Lookout Mountain, aud runs nearly east,
until it reaches main Chickamauga, near
the old Missionary Station. Gordon's
Mills are on this stream. And the plain
upon this side of the creek is the ground
on which the most sanguinary struggle
of modern times took place 1t is on the
road leading from Chattanooga to Lafay-
cite. RUFUS HALL.
