Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch
BRlsroL, Monday, April 4.--There IL no
news in this department that wonld be
proper to publish. Where Longstreet is
going or what he intends to do no one
knows, and ought not to tell if he did
One thing, however, eau write which is
gratifying, and that is, notwithstanding
the gloomy weather of the past two weeks,
attended with snow, mud and rain, the
troops are all in fine spirits and ready for
anything that may "turn up" The same
enthusiasm that prevailed st the begin
ming of the war seems to have burst forth
anew, and, sincerely hope, to be properly
directed. What has produced it is hard to
say whether the recent legislation in
Congress, showing for the first time on
the part of our rulers some appreciation Of
the magnitude of the contest, Or the apa-
thy on the part of our enemies, evincing a
WEAKNESS of a hopeless war, or more prob
ably an increasing disgust for them pro
jucea by their cruelties and barbarism.
Every Southern soldier now feels that
there is no hope for him but to fight on.
and there are few i'll the army who would
consent to any compromise short OF an
eternal separation from the roundhead fam
atical Abolition despotism that rules the
North. They are long since convinced
that Mr.. Lincoln intends our utter subiu-
cation, and the destruction of the last ves-
tige Of Our society and if every State in
the Confederacy should offer to lay down
their arms and ask to be allowed to 90
back in the Union, the offer would be
spurned. The Abolition crew who rule
there, not only intend, if possible, to make
us the slaves Of our slaves, but say our sis
tiers and daughters shall intermarry with
our negroes.
1t is rumOred that Gen. Longstreet has
given Gen. Morgan permission to ego
somewhere" and I am sure it will be a
great relief to his men if it should turn out
to be correct. All of them, both officers
and men, that ] have seen, express them
selves as heartily tired of their inactivity.

First,-All letters relating to the inter-

the Secretary of the Fremont Committee

Third-To hold meetings in every state,

manner OF exercising those rights; above

TREASURY DErARrMENT, April 18th, ls64.a
SlH: Much complaint is made by a number
of the leading importing merchants of New
York. and by many of Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, about the instructions of the
department for the temporary issue Of coin
certificates from your office, receivable for du-
ties i'm lien of gold
This instruction was given partly indeed
with reference to general public interests, but
mainly for the purpose Of relieving. as far rs
possible under the law, the importing mer-
chants from the hardships occasioned by the
unnecessary accumulation OF coin in the Treas
ury. AS the complaints referred to sufficient.
