proclaimed, and all hnndS and hearts

country will pause to learn the cause
which hns prompted the suppression OF !
journal, which has earned SO worthy a
I
its chief contributor, than from the dis.
tnguished zeal with which he Inns
counseled, sincere loyalty in the South
ern heart, nnd especially urged nSgrnte-
tui and unWayering support of Andrew
Johnson as the potent and Vigilant de-
fender Of Southern interests. / have
read the article which caused Mr., Dim
itry's arrest, and which appeared in
the bulletin of yesterday. Its a review
of Washingto ton letter written by Geo.
Jones, formerly manager of the RIrlig
mond Theatre, and we'll known in New
York, London and Paris, as the s'Count
Johannes, to the NeYY FORK DdilyNeIrs.
The bulletin article repeats, with EN-
Phatic approval. some of the counts"
observations upon a recent gathering
at, the Nv hite House, the plebian chif-
actpr OF which it seems offended the
over-sensitive taste, of the "Count,n p
which has been refined TO the most ng-
oniIng. delicacy, by contact with the
most brilliant associations OF European
courts. -s.sz.zstr -5-s- -,
In addition to these reflections of
"Count Johannes" the BWILetin offers
some exceedingly caustfO illusions
upon It's own responsibility, to the alb
sence of that elevated refinement and
aristocratic dignity which is said to
have been characteristic or the social
gatherings Mt the White House during
the late and pre- sent administration. Il
Is possible that the reference to tho lnte
President Lincoln rendered tho article
Objectionable to the military uuthorf-
ties, though the general tone OF the ar
ticle might reasonably be deemed oh,
jectionable to northern sensibilities,
At all events, Gen. Terry ordered the
suspension of the publication of the
paper and the arrest of Mr.. Dimitry,
who now lies in the city tail, Mr.
Wedderburn, one of the froprietors of
the BItEIetiH, ,avowed his responsibility
for all matter, edftorinl nnd otherwise.
appearing in It's columns, and
requested permission TO take Afr.
Dimitry's place in prison, but this was
refused by General Terry. 1t is UNDER
stood that General Terry has acted en-
ttrcly upon his own responsibilftyin in all
the proceedings, and without consulting
the authorities ut Washington. The
friends of the BuLietiR profess to be con-
fident that "all will be right in u dny
or two, or rs soon as their appeal can
reach President Johnson-nOIES UeTTOnS.
and in the meantime, the Bulletin Office
remains under close guard, not even
the proprietors being permitted to en-
ter 1t. 1t may be a matter of some i'm
terest to your readers to know that the
BMtLettH has risen from the ruins of the
Richmond Sentinel, brought here by r.
NJ. Smith, nephew of 'superidOus
William" our late and not tnmented
governor, in his hegiFd from Alexandria,
when that city was first occupied by the
Union army. The Sentinel was the or
gan Of the Ryts,governnle and wns
said to derive its inspiration from the
specious, plausible, and olenginotIs
Judah z. BENJAMIN, so famous for bis
Joseph Surface sentimetitnlities, and
PeeksEttlian proprieties. MessFs. Bal
ley and Sptllman, part owners of tile
Sentinel, with Mr.. SYeddefb burr, who,
during the war, Was'ha1f owner iof the
Southern Literary Messenger, are now
the capitalists OF the BalLStil,.
j, No effort WAS made by the proprietOrs
TO have the order, changed by General
Terry, MS they preferred to make this
appeal directly to President johnson.
The great ability and zeal with which
the bulletin has sustained President
johnson, must necessarily sbe n strong
argument In their favor.
Among the ruInors prevalent, Is AN
on dit that General Terry, commnnding
this Department., will BhortIy marry the
daughter Of q well known merchant of
Richmond. The young lady in ques-
tions IS about eighteen, and belongs to
n thmily remarkable for its. beauty, of
certainly not an unworthy member.

with hatred for everything native or
