Kirby Smiths Order ON Lees Sur.
render-Hle Thinks that He Pos
sesses the Means of LOng-COn-
tInued Resistance.
From The Alexandria (La) Democrat, April 20 ]
We publish to-day the patriotic order OF
General Smith to the troops of the Trans
Mississippi department While our COM
mander does not attempt to conceal the re-
cent disasters to our arms, and our extreme
ly critical situation, he appeals to his brave
troops not to relax their efforts to save our
country from the horrors of subjugatlon.--
We are confident that the appeal Will not
be in vain: ~, l. "
HEADo'Rs TRANS MISSISSIPPI DEPT-(
SHREVEPORT, La April Il, 1860.
Soldiers of the Trans Mississippi Army:
The crisis of our revolution is at hand.
Great disasters have cvertaken us. The
Army of Northern Virginia and our Com
mander-i in Chief are prisoners OF war. with
you rests the hope of our nation, and upon
your action depends the fate OF our people.
Iappeal to you in the name OF the cause you
have 30 heroically maintained-in thename
of your firesides and families so dear to you
in the name of your bleeding country,
whose future Is in your hands. Show that
you are worthy OF your position IN history
Prove to the world that your hearts have
not failed In the hour of disaster, and that at
the last moment you will sustain the holy
cause which has been so gloriously battled
for by your brethren east of the Mississippi.
You possess the means of long resisting
invasion. You have hopes ofCsnceor from
abroad. Protract the struggle, and YOU
will surely receive the aid of nations who
already deeply sympathize with you.
Stand by your colors-maintain your dis
cipline. The great resources of this de-
partment, its vast extent, the numbers, the
discipline, and the efficiency of the army,
will secure to our country terms that a
proud people can with honor accept, and
may, under the providence of God, be the
means of checking the triumph of our. en-
emy. and securing the final success of our
cause. Z. KIRBY SMITH, General.

DISAGREEMENT i'm the Cabinet.

II there Is one thing that the country
Administration press have declared them
selves decisive in regard to, it Is the matter
that goes by the popular designation OF
Reconstruction of the South, which sim
ply means the permanent pacifcation OF
that country. Te them, if their utterances
are to be accepted as indicating their opin-
ion, nothing can be more easy. They I'M
derstand it to lie through general hang
ing and banishment of the leaders in Re-
bellion, the disfranchisement of the Rebel
masses, and the enfranchisement of the
freed slaves. 1t will, therefore, produce in
finite surprise in the minds of those who
have let this opinion take possession Of
their judgments, to learn that there is
want of harmony in the Cabinet on this
subject, and that the great stumbling block
over which they have fallen into dscord is
the identical stumbling block over which
the country was precipitated into the ter
rible War through which it has just passed
the negro. As to this being the cause of
disagreement in the Cabinet, there is not
foundation on which to build reasonable
doubt. 1t comes By telegraph. According
to the information thus furnished, Presi-
dent JOHNSON is disinclined to confer upon
the colored people in the South, or else
where, doubtless, the privilege of suffrage.
Secretary STANTON and one other member
of the Cabinet antagonize the President in
regard to this matter, and we have
no doubt the Radicals will reinforce
Secretary STANTON with a tremen-
dous outside pressure to enable him to
swerve the President from his disinclina-
tion. The President has generally certified
character for unhinchingly maintaining po-
sitions he may assume, and it now remains
to be seen whether he will sustain the char
acter thus certified.
If man like President JOHNSON, who is
supposed to have pretty thorough knowl-
edge of the Southern people and of the
people who have been held in servitude--a
man who has neither fondness for rebellion
nor slavery but whose sole avowed pur-
pose is to promote Union-feels constrained
to hesitate about elevating the freedmen of
the South to political equality with the
white men, does this circumstance not fur
nish strong reason why such a policy
should not be enforced? And if the Cabi-
net cannot drive instantly to conclusion
that harmonizes as to Reconstruction" is
not this sufficient to cause to spring up in
the minds of large portion of our people
the belief that that subject should be treat
ed with extreme care and with freedom
from even the semblance of vengeance?
