With aneney to be expended in supporting ths
influential, nnrepcnt&ut rebels Of Richmond
or any other Southern citY-Tebels who are as
disloyal as ever, as our correspondent DE-
clares. It is not long since we published IN
account Of sevcn agents Of That Commission
calling on Tie rebel General Lee "to pay their
respects to him. and the public w4a after

Lad been discharged. But it would appear, |
If onr correspondent has not been tnisfn- |
