General Banks.
BosToN, May Is, 1864

DoeioN, Abhy io1 looI'
To the Editor Of the Boston Journal
/ CHANGED to see the Springfield Re-
publican of yesterday, while on my way
home from Louisiana, and from it
learned that the Rev. Mr.. Miner, of this
city, stated in his pulpit on Sunday last
that the cause of Gen. Banks defeat was
his intemperance. Now have seen Gen.
Banks at his headquarters and in the
field almost every day for the last seven
months, was near him upon the bloody
field of Sabine Cross Roads, and feel that
it is my duty to pronounce this insinua-
ton or declaration false. Gen. Banks
has never been seen under the influence
of liquor since he commanded the De-
partment of the Gulf.
EYE WITNESS.
The above is perfectly reliable, and
is confirmed by statements made to
us from other gentlemen likely to be
we'll informed.
The writer of the above left Alexan-
dria on the 4th, and came by the way of
New Orleans. Ncdoubt was entertained
of the ability of Gen. Banks to extricate
his army from the Red river region
without further loss.-Boston Journal.

The Bogus Dispatch.

Ii has come out at last. The odlum
rests upon the New York World and
the Journal of Commerce, as those two
concerns were the only ones that pub
lished the forgery. They unite with
the other members of the Associated
Press in Offering reward of one thou
tand dollars for such evidence as may
lead To the conviction OF the rascals,
and promise an additional reward of
Eve hundred doll RS out of their own
pockets. This is done on the principle
that the real rogue bawls out stop
thief more Justify than any body else.
But IL is no go. Gen Dix has his cluch-
es on them, and we hope and trust that
before hanging them, he will make them
tell tohgs they got nep liquor. Let no
stone be left unturned in the effort TO
hunt out smoke out, snake out the
grizzly BEARS that have thus lacerated
the great heart of the nation and preyed
upon its vital interests. Who are they
that have sacrilegiously and impiously
stolen the livery of the court OF heaven
to serve the devil in Who are they
that have become suddenly rich by the
rise of gold. Let us have chance at

John Randolph said he would walk
mile out Of his way barefoot to kick a

pany could be raised in this village of
indignant men who would march bare
foot any required distance, furnish
themselves with double soled cowhide
boots, and make local applications of
the same to the sensitive parts of these
wretches. Auri sacra flames We are
not sufficiently familiar with English
literature to find the words we want to
express our adherence of the entire
genera of bulls and bears who are cry
ing and committing havoc. The best
we can do is to quote the following lines
from Pollock which, however, are too
moderate by half:
Com many hun,ed-sweat and bled for GOLD
Walked all the night, and labored all the day.
And on It's altar sacrificed ease, peace,
TRurH, FAITH, INTEGRITY, GOOD CONSCIENCE,

And ali the tender sympathies of life.

And in heir nostrils breathed living SOUL

more or less than flchng from their op-

chosen by the people. 1t is over riding

periled their lives, upon the battle field in
defence of the precious liberties which

declaring that the soldiers have no right

crow. Let the Offices be filed by men
who has no claim to them, other than
that which the decision Of a party serving
County Clerk gives them. But let them
remember that their victory will be short
lived. An indignant people will place
their ban of condemnation upon them,
and men who have sacrificed home, friends

turn home, and then at the ballot box
will vindcate their rights to the elective
franchise, and declare through it their
honest indignation at tho course persued
by miserable designing demogoges, who
in their absence, attempted to rob them
Of their birthright as citizens of the
American Union. And these men, who
have been dsfranchised, will live in his
tory, and their names be honored, and
their memory respected, whilst the names
and deeds of the poor cringing partisans
will be rotten, and forgotten ; or only be
remembered to be cursed and anathema
tized as enemies to their country, in the
hour of her greatest peril and danger.
