Treasurer, at the ensuing election. 4e e,.,s

g 13- With heavy heart we announce to our
readers the eli ,isulation of Gen. Robt. 4. Lee,
with the army under his immediate command.
Gen. l.. Kirby Smith has issued an address to his
troops, ipar.ng to them this fact and requesting
them to maintain that courage which has sustain
ed them until this hour, hoping meanwhile that
circumstances near thani will come to our aid.
Although we cannot learn positively the num-
Of troops surrendered by Gen. Lee, we do not
believe that they amounted to more than ten or
twelve thousand, However, the Yankee papers
set it down 1T 20 OF 22. 900. Time alone will re.
veal the truth on that subject.
Gen Joseph E. Johnston is still near Colds
boro' with formidable army, and notwithstand
ing the Yankee reports Of his approaching surren-
der, nothing would indicate that sucn was the
case. A great battle will probably soon decide
matters on the other side Of the Mississippi.
According to the most recent intelligence, Sec
retsry Seward is not yet dead. and hopes are even
entertained of his ultimate recovery.
P. S.--As we 20 to press we learn from differ

State, or OF the Union party, to President John.

The Court Of Appeals of Ksntucky has de-

the face of the Constitution impeis TO the same
conclusion
"The power Ito coin money" 10 the only
money making power delegated to Congress:
without express grant, Congress could have no
power whatever over money The grant made
is specific. and to go beyond Is would defeat the
evident purpose of the people in only giving the
power to coin: and this is the more clear when
they inhibit the States from making anything
else than this coined money legal tender
They took from their Legislatures the right TO
coin and FIX the value and gave il exclusively to
Congress They gave Congress no power over
tender at all and restricted the States to the max
ing Of the gold and silver coin legal tender

reservation of qualified" cower tender is it.
self and alone sufficient proof OF a constructive
and purposed denial to Congress Of any power
over it; for such power in Congress would
necessarily be exclusive and paramount, the ex.
ercise Of il would supersede control all State
powers over tender, and therefore the qualified
prohibition against the States would have been
superfuous idle and inconsistent. But that
prohibition, as qualified, is an acknowledgment
of the power OF the States, and the only object
of IL was to limit that restrained power so to
prevent any legislative interference With the
only money permitted to be made tender 10 the
United States. Consequently the people of the
States by retaining power over tender and grant
ing none to Congress. constructively denied to
Congress any implied power on that subject.
IF they intended to give Congress more
power over money, why did they not so express
il? They we're defining what Congress might do,
