rior Court Of Cincinnati has just decided Q,
s. Treasury notes a legal tender on notes and
mortgages. The mortgage holder refused to
receive payment Of note and release the

stitut1onal, and ordered the surrender of the
note and mortgage. A similar decision has
been made By the Supreme court Of. New

KEEPERs.-Thc Detroit FREE Press says that
Capt. John Lind, Of the 14th Michigan InE1u,
try, arrived in that city on Tuesday last. en-
route to his home in Saginaw. Capt. Lind
has been out Of health for some time, and is
60 weak as to be hardly able to sit up. He
comes home on furlough to recruit his
health. There was no boat for Saginaw, and
he WAS obliged TO stay in town u day or two.
he went to two or three well known hotels
In that city, and was refused admission. The
proprictors would give him neither bed nor
lounge, nor have him in the house, and tllat,
too, when he was SO weak and debiitated as
to be hardly able to sit up.

An Outrageous SIyiuGfle.

The New Albany (Ind.) Ledger says it has
heard Of q most outrageous swindling, which
is being perpetrated upon soldiers travelling
between that city and Henderson. Itappears
that persons representing themselves as
agents Of Indiana, and having forged commits
sions, purporting to bo Issued by Coz. Nor.
ton, take passage on boats plying between
the ports above named. Their first 1nbor is to
ascerain.whetherany sick, discharged, or fur
loughed soldiers are aboard, and If there are
they next set to work to swindle them out OF
all the money they may hare. These scoun-
drc1s represent themselves as detectives, ap-
pointed to arrest descrters and soldiers alb.
sent from their regiments without leave; and
By representing the papers Of discharged and
furloughcd men as wrongly made ont, theY
excite the fears Of the soldier, and finally
offer, on the payment by him Of sum Of
money, to allow him to pass without arrcst,
In this manner many soldiers hare lately been
feeced out Of their hard-earncd money.

HOoKER,s RETRoGRAnE.

Gen. Hooker needs no defenders; but we
may say to the querulous and captious
critics who snecr at his want Of more bril-
limit and decided success, that the country
will, when it knows all the facts Of bis re-
cent movement, adjudgc him worthy ofits
undiminishcd confidence and hearty sup
port. 4 few Of these facts are these:
Alter his battle Of Monday, in which the
rebels had no advantage, he found himself
almost or quite out Of provisions, and of
ammunition. The limited supplies that had
been carried over were exhausted. At the
start, there were eight days rations, much
Of which were in the hayersacks Of the
men. In the incidents accompanying and
attendant upon several furious battles, we
can imagine that that small supply was
rapidly diminished. The fighting had had
its natural effect upon his ammunition
chests, and, without powder and ball, he
Tould be powerless He had not heard
from Stoneman, though several days had
elapsed after intelligence Was promised.
The rumors Of the camp, derived from
prisoners and from residents, Was that the
expedition had failed-a story that gained
reader credence, as Lee had been rein
forced, probably, as he believed, over the
route that Stoneman was sent to break M.
The defeat Of the 11th corps had forced
him to fall back from his Charlottesville
line, to position n,Ehich, though it was
impregnable to their attack, he could not,
on account Of woods, rayines, &C., mass his
army to attack them And in addition to
all these reasons, the weather, fearh1lly
bad, had made the roads almost impassa-
ble, and q roaring river, which the rains
was swelling,a at the rate Of ten feet in three
hours, was in his rear, and across which
his pontoon bridges, far too short as the
width Of the stream increased, were laid.
What prudent commander could have hes
itated in a situation like this?
We only re-echo what the President him
sclftold Western member Of Congress
gentleman whose name, II we were at lib
e1y to give it, would be sufficient guar
anty Of the truth Of his words-after lisre-
turn from the recent visit to Hooker's
camp. That gentleman says, and We quote
his words:
"I SAW the President Friday afternoon late.
He was in good epiris, not disheartened,
though disappointed, at the retreat across the
Rappahannock; and though asked him par
ticularly about his confidence in Hooker, I
was GLAD to Fee that he indicated no desire for
T1,lo Ill Gt. -.

TIE MEMPHIS HOSPITALS,

We print today letter from a Contract
Surgeon" lately engaged in tho hospitals
Of Memphis, in which the management Of
these institutions is very severely ccn.ured.
We know nothing Of the truth Of the alle-
cations upon which DR.. Mann arraigns
Surgeons Power and Irwin before the pub:
lie; We hope, for humanity's sake, that
they will prove to be the result OF private
malice, ignorance or prejudice; and that
the medical profession will be spared the
humiliation consequent upon the claim Of
two wrctches, such as these are pictured,
. to belong within its ranks. The matter
We have deemed to be Of sufficient impor-
tance to engage the attention Of the public,
whose loud clamors will compel an in
quiry into the abuses and inhumanity, the
existence oi which Dr.. Mann alleges.
We are hnppy to be able to say that COM
plants like these Of the management of
our military hospitals, and Of the treat
ment Of the sick, are fortunately quite un-
common. In the early part Of the war,
when ignorance and i1npudence, putting
on the surgeons garb, forced their way
into positions in which they were more des.
tructive than the enemy's infantry or artil.
lery, and when, in consequence ofthe great
weight Of business thrown upon the Mcdi
cal Bureau at Washington, matters connect
ed with the care Of the wounded and sick
mainly managed themselves, We have rea
son to know that horrible abuses wert
practiccd. But since time has been afford
ed the medical officers Of the government
to get their red tapes together, we doubt i
the private institutions OF the like charac
ter in the country, though supported By
ever active heneyolence, and conducted By
able and devoted men, excel, in all that c
SICK man requires, the hospitals that tht
military authorities have opened for the
soldiers of the army. At Washington, al
Baltimore, at Suffolk, at Norfolk, at St
Louis, at Louisville, ut Nashville. and Al
New Orleans, the military hospitals ar,
said 10 be models Of neatness and comfort
If those at Memphis are different from Ii,
Others that we have named, there is reaso,
why the fact should at once be ascertained
and the guilty parties who haremad then
so, ignominiously dismissed from the Sc,
vice, or more ignominiously hung on h
most convenient tree.

The arrest Of VaIlandigham was not
made moment too soon. We learn
from an intelligent and reliable gentleman
who spent the last two months in the dis
affected counties Of Ohio, that among loyal
men there an outbreak on the part Of the
Copperheads has been seriously appre-
hended for some time past. Cheers for
JEFF. Davis, with which the ma1ignants tes-
tdy their treason, are heard every day on
the streets; coppcrhead and butternut
badges and emblems are openly and boast
ingly won; news OF Federal reyerses is
received with c1trayagant manifestations Of
joy, and intelligence Of rebal victories with
corresponding e2ultation; threats Of resist
ance to the Tax Law and the Consc1iption-
resistance with arms-arc loudly proclaim
ed; dcserters arc defiaut1y protected; and
indeed in whatever way disloyalty can
manifest itself without going to tile length
Of taking up arms, the manifestation is
made. This is Vallandigham's work and
that Of the crew of which he is the head
The people Of Ohio were loyal in every
county, and left to themselves, they would
be so still. Piled with false dcnunciations
Of our rulers, with lying accounts Of the
operation Of the Conscription law, with
assumed proofs that the overthrow Of the
Government, and tie setting up Of q Des
potism are intended; with encomiums
Of the rebels and their unholy
cause, they have been gradually
1apsing into disloyal ways; and the conse-
quences are not yet all declared. limo other
way could Va1landigham have aided and
comforted the enemy so efIectua1ly. He
has done more mischief than if he had
commanded rebel division in the field
Yet there are men and journals, mainly,
thank Heaven! Of the Vallaudigham
stripe, who claim, that, in this time Of civil
war, when the very existence Of the country
is threatened, and when the foundations oi
order and safety are loo.ed, crimes like
those Of which he is guilty must 60 un.

that France ought TO encourage nobility and
discourage democracy.
This is in entire harmony with much that
has been eaid by prominent men in the South.
Mr.. Russell, in his Diary, makes frequent
mention of hearing southerners express de-
sire for monarchy. The idea of slnye-
holding nobility is By no means now ono in

Concerning an expedition which left here

Straight, Of the 51st Indiana, the legitimate

in my private letters to you, I forbore saying
8 word upon the subject, lest, By some
