Withdrawal Of Troops from the
SOuth-lhe Governmental FL

nanceS.
A Washington telegram of the
14th says:
1t is understood here that it is con-
templated by the President to en-
,irely withdraw the troops from the
South in short time. leaving the
bases Of civil government preciSely
IA they stood before the late war,
with the exception of slavery. This
policy is said to have arisen through
the good sense of the leading South
ern men themselves in accepting the
present position Of affairs, as disclosed
in the interview between President
johnson and "a considerable deputa
ton of their leading men at the White
House the other day. Thus the late
slave states will have hardly a sol
der among them, save such AS may
be required to garrison the forts, and
those in Northern States will be re-
tanned in active service only for the
purpose of meeting any emergency
that may arise from the action of
foreign powers.
Certain papers, whose course in re-
gard to the finances has always been
inimical to the government. are seiz-
ing on the fact of further issue of
compound-int.rcst notes to assert
that the volume of the currency is
being largely increased. This is
untrue. All the compoundinterest
notes now being put out are exchan-
g.d for those of older date, bearing
interest, which accumulation of in
terest is saved the government by
the cancellation Of old notes, or for
the redemption of certificates of in
d-btedness. The volume Of the cur
rency has only been Increased to :,
small! degree during the past sum
rncr, which stands as n remarkable
fact in view of the enormous re4uiSi-
tions from the war department. The
Secretary of the Treasury not only
considers the present condition ofthr
finances favorable, but believes it in
his power to meet all the acquisitions
prior to the meeting Of congress
without any expansion Of the cur
reucy.

Gov. Brovnlow, while walking the streets
of Nashville lately, was oniously
pushed into the gutter by . couple Of negro
soldiers. This act would seem.to have effected
a adsaided, reformation in the Governors po-
'litical principles. In late. letter to his pa
per-the Knoxville Whig-he says,
Gas one desiring the welfare Of the colored
people, they will permit me to say they can't
drirs the Legislature of Tennessee into con
feriag upon them the elective franchise. They
can, by the demonstration they are making
in this direction, deprive themselves of any
such privileges, so fur. as Tennessee is con-
cerned. The Federal Government has no
rightto control the suffrage question in Ten
nessec. And the great Union party of the
nation will have more sense than to attempt
to control the question by Congressional leg
islation. .-.y

President johnson BY various republican
State conventions, said: -" The republican

The VIRGINIA UNIvERslTY-Aie letter from
Charlottesville to a contemporary says: !.
There have matriculated at the University
up'to date (the l2thl about one hundred and
seventy students, ten of whom are from
Maryland; three from North Carolina two
from South Caroline; Eve from Tennessee
four from Alabama; twofrom Missouri; one
from the District of Columbia and one from

The following, addressed to Mobile paper,
is one of the incidents in the history of a
bureau which is fast becoming one of the
most notorious and corrupt institutions that
ever afflicted a country;
MEssRs. EDIToRs: have been receiving
letters from medical students in the interior
of this State and Mississippi inquiring wheth-
er the Medical College Of Mobile would be
opened this winter. 1 beg leave to say,
through your columns, that it will not open.
In explanation, 7 may state that this rinsti-
tuition was taken charge ofby the Freedmen's
Bureau, and appropriated to the purpose of a
negro school, after the town was taken pos
session ct by the United States troops. .
Moreover, agreat number Of the mo beau
titul and costly models, anatomical prepare
tions, &C., have been taken of by those now
in possession, and the chemical department,
which was unequalled in any school in our
country,-is occupied by negro cobbler.
It is hoped that this explanation will be
perfectly satisfactory to those who feel any
interest in scientific institution which hui
cost the State more than 100000, ane
which, ii, completeness, is not surpassed By
any one of the kind on the continent.
