JUST so.-Iu one of the detected let
ters of Mr.. Lamar, a Rebel emissary
occurs the following precious revelation
"DriUe gold com out of the country
and induce undue importations Of for.
eign products, so as to strike doaon Mt
financial system. Yeu can have no fur
ther hope for foreign recognition. 1t is
evident the weight of arms is against us
and it is clear that We can only succeed
by striking down the financial system OF
the country"
Such is the foreign Rebels advice to
his brethren at home-and the Copper
head leaders are carrying out the same
policy They have done all they could
to make "greenbacks" odious-to drive
out gold-to increase consumption of for
eign gocds-and to produce extravaganza
in the army. After all this, they try to
shake the peoples confidence in the gov
ernment, and to discourage them about
the War, so that the Rebels can dictate
terms, and rule again.
