The Defeat of Banks i'm Louisiana
The New Orleans correspondent of the N
York World, writes as follows:
TIE LOSSES.

1hE kUSSES.
I presume that there has not been single
person who has come down from there who
has reported the Union loss at less than six
thousand, the lowest estimate [ have heard of,
or who does not admit that it was a most
gloomy and disastrous defeat; yet the papers
go to you claiming a victory. Read their ac-
counts, and you will see how Inconsistent they
are; and notice that the Era and Times charge
one another with giving false accounts, but
they dare not tell the truth, for fear that their
publication will be suspended. 1t would be
giving inform rtion to "the enemy'-aot the
confederates, but the transporting people of
the North, whose pockets and whose credulity
are taxed to the uttermost to support these
cotton raids.
SUNDAY MISUNDERSTANDING later. be-
lieve that Banks is now out of danger except
as to his material of war, most of which will
have to be sacrificed owing to the low water.
All the troops around the city, except the pro-
vnst guard, have been sent up, including the
negroes who are almost always excused, whe-
thcr from favor or aversion, 1 will not under
take to say.

m

Tho following highly important letter of the
Secretary of the Treasury, written to a promi-
nent Republican of Portsmouth, has recently
come into cur possession. AS revealing the
policy and motives that controlled the Admin
~istration and the leading statesmen of the
Republican, party just previous to and at the
time of their installment into power, it is of
great value and should be given publicity to
aid in making up and explaining the history
&C that critical period of the country. The

ori sinal in our possession.

CORRUPTION IN THE GREENBAcK T

CoRHOPIION IN THE GREENBACK FACTORY
The main sensation to day is created BY q
partial development of circumstances upon
which charges are made against the Treasury
Department, which l alluded to in my last
dispatch. A Committee consisting of five Re-
pubiicans and four Democrats, was appointed
by the House to investigate the cause.
The alleged corruption is in the printing
department., where the greenbacks are turned
out by 4 steam engine and machinery, and
done up to suit the pressing demands of the
Treasury. This branch of the service is ul-
der the management Of one s. NJ. Clark
against whom curious ruIlors have been ahoa
for two or three months. Efforts have been
made to have MIR. Chase remove this man
Clark, but he seemed to haze a hold on the
Secretary that could not be loosened. What
the spell was, with which he begui!ed the IA
tier OF greenbacks, no one could exactly tell,
though there were some curious coniectures.
Among the rumors now floating, and which
believe are embodied in the charges, is men
toned a discrepancy in the fractional currency
account, there being a variance of about TWEEN
ty mlllions-a mere fraction of the great az
gregate-from the amount which is required
to be kept IN circulation, and reported by the
Secretary as actually in circulation.
1t is also charged that among the females
employed in the g-eenback factory, Mr.. Clark
has employed women of easy virtue, and that
the most bare-face3 treachery is practiced in
the department with these women. 1t is even
SAID this branch of the service has q few rooms
fitted up in oriental stile Of splendor, and that
a regular harem is kept under the control of
a leading officer, for the benefit Of persons
high in the confidence of the President. In
fine, the charges amount to this that the
greenback factory i a place of easy virtues
tor the bsneit Of parties of easy morals.
There has been much of unhappy Earring
in the Cabinet family recently, and each de-
partment has suspected the others Of corrup
ton. This lead 20 the appointment of certain
detectives who ferretcd out and made known
the matter above stated TIE dispositions of
the females and others we're taken, and most
of the proof is, therefore, already prepared for
the committee.
TIE BATTLE.
All eyes are now turned towards the Rapi-
dan in expectation Of ihe impending conflict,
and which will commence next week-a con-
fict, as is expected, settle the destiny Of the
Republic. General Grant has completed his
preparations; the preliminary arran gements
are complete, and he is now ready. Two
hundred and fifty thousand men comese the
army of the North and from the best author
ity. the rebels will have at least from one
and Sky to one hundred and ninety
troops. Both sides are confident,
and the coming week will in all probability
record the bloodiest and most awful battle Of
the his tory of the war.

Gold and High Prices.

a correspondent of the Boston Edc ertiser
makes the following sensible remarks respect
ing the relation between the market quota-
tions of gold and the high prices:
There seems to be a belief prevalent that
the price of geld Is the great evilunder which
the whole country is suffering; when, in fact,
it is nothisg but the thermometer which in
dicates the extent of the evil of expansion and
depreciation of the currency. If it were pos
sible for any legislation or fnaneiering to re-
duce the price CT gold, it would have no more
effect in relieving the country from the curse
of paper money than putting ice on a tner-
mometer in July would have in making PEG,
pie comfortable.
As a proof that it is not the price of gold
hat is the trouble, the advance in several
articles of most common use above the aver
age prices of forty years, from January, 1922,
to January, 1862, it shown in the following
table

or on an average of about $50 per cent,
whilst gold has yet reached only 20 or so per
cent. Gold and butter lad advanced about
equally, and the measures now under conside-
ration in Congress may be as effectively ap-
piled to one. as the other.
By the most recent advices tbs Secretary is
obtaining by loans and duties one or two mil.
lions a day, and is paying out four, thus ad
ding directly OF indirectly, two millions daily.
So long as he continues thus, the price of gold
must advance as surely as the rising tide, al
though there may be greater fluctuations in
its progress.

THE EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT.

Mr. Robert r. Roosevelt, the candidate of
the War Democracy for Congress in the Eighth
District, withdraws in favor of Mr.. Vim. f.
Dodge The letter Of Mr.. Roosevelt which we
publish elsewhere, in reply to the gentlemen
who suggested his withdrawal, is marked by
that patriotic and generous spirit which should
govern every man whose friends propose him as
a candidate for Office. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr..
Manierrc having thus both voluntarily retired
from the field, Mr.. Dodge is left without loyal
competitor. He ought to be the next RcpreSen-
tatiye in Congress OF the District, and will if its
electors do their duty.
TO no man in this city can we give more
hearty support. For forty years Mr.. Dodge has
been one of our leading and most successful
merchants; is identified with some of the most
important works of internal Improvement in the
country; has long been connected with some of
the largest Of our Banks and Insurance Com
panies; has been for many years a member of
the Chamber Of Commerce, and is now one of
ence has made him practically familiar with the
finance and commerce Of the country, and
render him eminently fit to represent this city
in Congress
Nor should hs record daring the war be
forgotten. lie was member of the Union
Defense Committee from its organization; rem
dered important aid to the Government in the
earliest importations of ordnance; and when
assistance was called for in Western Virginia,
at the outset Of the war, procured for her, by
personal effort, 1900 stand Of arms. His in.
huence and his wealth have been given without
stint TO uphold the cause of the Union, and
strengthen the hands of the Administration.
Loyal, incoruptible, fearless and able, he is
destined to be leader in Congress- if the
people Of the Eighth District rich and poor,
understand their true interests and honor.
