The Worcester Spy seems to be very much
shocked because the Springfield Republican
and republicans won't support regular nomi-
nations without why or wherefore.-Spring-
field Republican,
Not at all. Our point is that, when you
support a candidate against a regular republic
can nomination, you should select one Of
whom it is possible to say something better
than that she is not very alive to the great
moral issues of our public affairs at this
time" These words describe a candidate
whom no true friend Of the government, and,
therefore, no republican, should support, I'M
der any circumstances whatever. BeyoRd
this our CRITICISM did not extend

of instrumental music ofthe first order who are in

the supply. For tickets call at Boyden's or at the

WORCE T E r;
MONDAY. MARCH en-, 1909.

1t is noticed that the Richmond press is not
very iubiant at the present time. Apprehcn-
sions of disaster seem prevalent among the
rebels in that city; and tits reported tnat they
are preparing for a removal further south.
This feeling is manifest in. the great
and increasing depreciation of the con-
federate currency. Gold sells there at
from 500 to 600 yer cent. premium, and is
rapidly rising, A general officer in Gen
Rockers army, who sends us Richmond pa
pers of March 10th and l7th, obtained froma
deserter, says in a note; ''lf we can strike
two thorough blows, one in the east ana the
other in the west, as believe we shall within
a month, they will not be able to MAINTAIN
circulating medium with which TO carry on
their pretended government"
The Richmond Examiner of the 10th says:
eGold was sold on Saturday at AIS per cent
premium, an advance of 200 per cent. within
aweek." The factis recordedwitha tone Of dis
couragement, and one of the 'obvious causes
of this result is explained as follows; " All
winter our people believed that peace would
come with the spring. and that then there
would be a cessation of the issue of conteder-
ate notes. Spring has come, but peace ap-
pears more remote than ever. The people
can see nothing before them but long years OF
war and shinplasters." 1t is stated also that
there is this spring Sudden and unusual
''tide of emigration of foreigners from the
confederate states to the United States" That
is to say, the rats are leaving the sinking ship,
and the troubled crew are giving way to des-
pair. Meanwhile, since gold went up 200 per
cent within a week, it has not paused.
The Richmond Enquirer of March 18th states
that 600 and $50 per cent had been offered for
it. At this rate it will not take long for the
confederate currency to become worthless;
and we cannot doubt that the two heavy blows
anticipated by our correspondent will break it
down forever.

From Nassau and Havana.

New YORK, March 22.-Nassau adyices of
March 10th, state that the pirate Retribution
had been condemned and sold at auction to
the brother-in-law of the notorious blockade
runner, Adderley. The sale is reported to be
bogus. The officers and crew were still at
Nassau.
Havana advices convey the intelligence
OF suppression of the rebellion at st. Do

the insurgents dispersed The Spanish forces
which defeated them are said to have num-
bered only 800.
The steamer Georgana, at Nassau, had two

SUCCESS OF THE BLACK BRIGADE.-The
first South Carolina regiment, called in the
later dispatches ''the black brigade is
making victorious march into the interior Of
Florida. Its march thus far has been marked
with signal success. If no untoward accident
occurs before its return, the position of this
command will be one of the most enyiable in
the department Of the south. The old preju-
dice had greatly abated before their depart
ure, being confined chiefly to young officers,
exhilarated with the sight of their own shout
der straps, but who never smelt powder or
heard the whizzing of ball. An officer
in one of the New England regiments at Hill
ton Head, in a private letter written Just be-
fore the departure of this expedition, says
" The blacks are becoming quite popular here.
especially with the old soldiers; and it is
thought by experienced men, of good iudg-
ment' that the regiment of negro volunteers
Is the most effective one in the tenth army
corps. They are soldiers by nature; they are
fond of music, march admirably and in per-
feet time. They have given a good account
of themselves in several reconnoisances in
which they have been engaged"

DEATH OF GEN. SUMNER.-The sudden ILL.,
ness of Major General Edwin V. Sumner,
announced day or two since, ended in his
death at an early hour Saturday morning.
He was one of the Oldest, as well as one of
.,----- at rnIs critical period, will
excite profound regret. Gen. Sumner was a
native of Boston, where he was born in
1876. He entered the regular army in early
life, without stopping at West Point, and by
his signal merit, passed through every rank
known in the service, till at the time of his
death he was major general of volunteers.
and brevet major general in the United States
army. He served with distinction in the
Black Hawk and Mexican wars, and per-
formed much useful service on the frontier.
He was in command at fort Leaven-
worth in 1856, when his active sympathy
with the free state men in their strife
with the border rufians, incurred the dis
pleasure of JEFF. Davis, then secretary of war
and was made the occasion OF his removal.
Since the rebellion broke out he has been in
important and exposed positions from the be-
ginning. He was engaged in all the battles
of the Chickahominy, where he was twice
wounded, and where he twice turned the
scales of battle in our favor, and saved the
army from defeat-once when he pushed his
command without orders to the front at Fair
Oaks, and again when with terrible slaughter
he drove back the pursuing rebels at Malvern
Hill. He lso fought at the battle of Antie-
tam, where he was again wounded. On the
reorganization of the army he was placed in
command of the right grand division of the
army of the Petomac-holding that high po-
sition till few days ago, when he was assign
ed to the command Of the department Of the
west, having its headquarters at St. Louis.
He was on his way thither when, at Syracuse,
he was attacked by an enemy he could no
longer resist, and died in the sixty-eighth
year of his age.

CINCINNATI, March 22.-The Gazette has
additional particulars of the Milton battle.
Our forces were commanded by Col Hall of

Murfreesboro for reinforcements, promising
to hold his ground until they arrived. Part
OF the rebel cavalry dismounted and attacked
our position with impetuosty, but were re-
pulsed at every point.
Section first of the Harris battery kept up
all this time most effective fire. The enc.

regiments and charged the battery with hide
Gus yells. The first Missouri regiment, who
were lying concealed behind the battery,
waited until the enemy were within 80 yards

wounded. Col. Halls victory was complete
before the achievements arrived. Among
