" Letters received in Washington from
Gen. Thomas give a brief history Of his Ten.
nessee campaign. They show that he desired
to accompany Gen. Sherman to Atlanta, and
thought another officer the proper person to
conduct affairs against Hood. Gen. Sherman,
however, put full confidence in him, and ali
the initiatory steps of the campaign were made
IN obedience to his orders. Gen. Thomas says
the campaign would have been different if
Sherman had not felt obliged to take most of
the cavalry In his department, and that Hoods
escape with any part Of his army was mainly
due TO that cause. He explains at length the
reasons for his protracted delay in bringing
Hood to a general engagement. Some part
thereof was due to the suggestions Of General
Sherman and orders from General Grant and
some part TO the non. arrival of Gen. Smiths
command from st. Louis, whose progress was
delayed by storms and possibly bad roads. He
also hoped, by making the fight so far north,

From the Frontier.

Our readers will find an interesting let
ter from Fort Wadsworth, on the third
page. It is from a gentleman who pos
sesses good means of obtaining accurate
information OF the Indians.
General S1BLRY has also received ad-
vices from Fort Wadsworth to date of
February 2Sth. There is nothing of much
importance in the dispatches. A series
of heavy snow storms has driven the buff
falo in vast numbers to the low lands
along the James River. Previous advices
stating that the Indians in large numbers
were at or near James River are con-
firmed. They are peaceable and have en-
camped there for hunting purposes only.
A command had been sent out from Fort
Wadsworth to arrest certain traders for
illegal traffic with the Indian tribes, but
had not returned at the date of the des-
patch.
A despatch from Fort Abercrombie
states all quiet in that region.

Falling OF in Imports.

The New York Journal of Commerce
publishes a summary of the foreign COM
merce of that port for the month of Janu-
airy. The imports of this month were but
little more than half as large as the same
month of last year, being only SIC, 629, 1T
against $1S,977,S94 in 1860. Since the
year 1850 only in one year following the
financial crisis of 1850 have the imports
in January fallen as low as during the cur
rent season. The merchandise imported
is reckoned in its specie value as purchas-
ed abroad; to ascertain its cost value in
our currency, there must be added the
freight, duty, and premium on gold. The
falling off in customs for the month of jan
uary, as compared with last year is nearly
two million dollars. The exports from
New York to foreign ports for the month
of January were valued in paper currency
at $16,56l,5 against $12,156,69O in
1864 and $15,o7O,7s4 in 1868. These
statistics of the amount of imports for the
month Of January, which is but sample
of the succeeding month, are of interest,
as they afford an explanation of one ofthe
causes of the decline in gold.

From the Sixth Regiment.

A private letter dated New Orleans Feb.
22d says:
It is as warm here now as it is in st. Paul
in June. We are now quartered in building
formerly used as tobacco warehouse. It
makes very comfortable quarters. We relieve
the 9TH Vermont and are now engaged in
guarding Government property. Oysters are
plenty at fifteen cents dozen in the shell.
Oranges are growing in almost every yard, but
they are not yet ripe. The draft commenced
here on the 18th and after drawing for two
days it was ordered to be dropped. As high as
81, 600 in greenbacks was paid for substitutes
for one year. There are about 500 cases of
small pox here, but there have been no cases
in the regiment.
Another letter from the same source,
one day later says:
We have Just received orders to proceed to
Chalmette, four miles from this place, and re-
port to Major General A. ]. Smith, command
ing the 10th Army Corps. So we shall be with
the 5th, 9TH, 9th and 10th Minnesota Regi-
ments, and we may now expect to see some
fighting, as Gen. Smith is fighting man. The
reason that we leave is because that the color
ed troops are ordered to relieve all the white
troops now doing duty, in this city. The
men of company G are all WELL

The Vice President.

ANDY JOHNSON, The Vice President, has
commenced bis career most unauspiciously.
At Cincinnati, on bis way to Washington,
it Is reported that he was intoxicated and
disgraced himself n attempting to make a
speech in that condition. On assuming
the chair of the Senate, after the oath had
been administered by Vice President
HAMIN, accordingto the Chicago Tribune,
he took "the Bibe in hand, and elevating
it before the audience exclaimed, I kiss

States The address of Vice President
JOHNSON, on being sworn in, is very &C.
verely criticised On all hands. His friends
allege that he must have been laboring
under serious indisposition. Serious
indisposition means simply that he was
drunk.

Good from Sumner.

Senator SUMNER, With all his radical
crotchets, occasionally does something that
EFFORTS praise from bis opponents. Heas-
tonished the Senate and the public by
offering proviso to the joint resolution
authorizing a contract with POWELL for
painting a national picture at cost of
$4,000, STIMULATING that "in the national
Capitol, devoted to the national Union,
there shall be no picture representing any
victory in battle with our own fellow
citizens )" and a majority of the Senate
concurred in the sentiments of the amend
ment. If the motion had come from a
Democrat, sympath! with the rebels would
have been imputed 10 the mover by every
radical press in the country.

Death of Cardinal Wiseman.

NICHOLAS W1sEMAN, Cardinal Archbish-
op of Westminster, died at his residence
in London on the 18th of February, at the
age of sixty-three years. For nearly fiji
teen years he held the first ecclesiastical
rank of the Roman Catholic church in
England, having been raised to the dig
nifty of a cardinal in September, 1850.
Born in Seville, Spain, of English and
Irish parentage, he was educated in Ire
land, and studied theology in England.
In 1918 he went to Rome, and in 1927
was appointed professor of Oriental Ian
guages in the Roman University, but in
1885 he returned to England, where he
became celebrated as preacher, lecturer
and polemical writer. Among his pub
lished works are three volumes Of Essays
on Various Subjects" tale entitled
"Fabiola; or, the Church of the Cata-
combs" Recollections of the Last Four
Popes and of Rome in Their Times,' ''The
Hidden GEN." play written for St. Cuth-
bert's College, and numerous lectures and
addresses.

Increase Of Capital I'm the Northwest.

The Chicago Tribune says capital is
rapidly increasing in all the States Dor
dering on the lakes and Upper Mississippi,
and predicts great prosperity for agricul-
ture and manufactures as follows:
The reason for this increase of capital must
be plain to every one who has studied the
extent and the vast agricultural resources of
the Mississippi Valley, and who knows how
rapidly it is filling up with an industrious, en-
terprising population. Whatever the prices
of our products may be, these States will al
ways have large surplus of farm products be-
yond what they can possibly consume. When
will economic 80 as to reduce their expenses
within their income; and when, as for the past
three or four years. it sells for large per CEN
tage above the cost of production, old debts
are paid of, and capital rapidly accumulates.
1t is safe to say that of those farmers who were
in debt. some Of them largely, in 1860, eight if
not nine out of ten are now above board, and
large numbers of them have very comfortable
sums invested In government bonds or other
interest bearing securities.
The high rate Of interest has heretofore been
the principal obstacle to manufacturing sue
cessfully at the West. The accumulation of
capital IN banks and private hands win, within
the next decade, and even sooner, set thou
sands of wheels in motion all over the West.
Nearly every article of consumption can be
produced successfully here. and proftably. as
well, If the interest on capital should rule not
above 6 or per cent. The accumulation of
capital, therefore, will supply the only remain.
ing element to make the West as rich In man
nfactures as it is in agricultural resources.
There Is, therefore, good time coming for
the manufacturing as well as for the agricul-
tural interests of the West

while the tax bill was being considered, q
motion was made to strike out the ten per
cent. taxation, which the Senate refused
to do by the following vote:

A YOUNG married woman, only seventeen
years of age and poor, was recently left to suffer
and die shocking death at Monson, (Mass. J
for want of medical attendance, because it was
uncertain whether she belonged to Monson OF
Palmer. The selectmen of Monson refused to
assist her, and the selectmen of Palmer, being
applied to, took no notice of the matter, and
after her decease the former buried her with.
out funeral sermon.-Sprinafeld Republican.
It was an unfortunate circumstance that
the woman was white. If she had been
black or copper colored, or of milk and
molasses hue, or even an A,bino, the Sc
lectmen of Monson and Palmer would have
quarrelled for the honor Of relieving Der
necessities, and the abolition parsons would
have exhausted their rhetoric in portray
ing the virtues of their "colored sister. +"
But the poor, young mother was white,
and therefore her " shocking death will
occasion little regret in the abolitionized
circles of old Massachusetts,.
