GEN. wAsHDCRE AND HIS PoLICI.
rnder Gen. Waslhu.n,s order OF March
10th, whereby. he declared the District Of
West Tennessee re-opencd to Federal author-
lty md the intercharges Of trade, u new and
brighter era WAS inaugurated, although it is
10 discredit to the wisdom or humanity Of
our Commanding &c neral that the public
hare not yet been fully real
lied.
It will hardly be questioned BY those best
able to Judge, that his experimental policy is
the right one, at the present stage Of the re-
bellion, and probably might have been adop-
ted long before with beneficial results to the
Union cause in Western Tennessee. It the
rigor Of petty tyranny, that not tnffequently
disposes even tue friends Of the Government
to 1ukewarmness, multip1ies o{Ieuses against
it, and embitters Its eutmles: while an oppo-
site policy, appealing not only to the selt-in-
terest Of discounted foe, but to his higher
instincts Of patriotism and gratitude, might
win him back to duty.
The late commercial collapses, omfnons Of
panic md rcyU1sion, have operated. Of course,
as temporary backset to Gen. Washbnrn's
experiment, and buyers Of cotton, for in
stance, areas reluctant to invest with sink
ing market before them. us sellers are to sell
af figures Which aston;sh and bcwiidc- their
expectations Of indated prices.

rowing handits and assassins Tho have taken
sdyantare Of the moTenents in local trad,. tn
pursue their atroc1ous vocation with still
more devil.sh energy, plunderipg farmers and
enforcing cruel conscription, almost within
gunsbot Of the city. 1t Is terventy to be
hoped that The General will soon make hls
connections" p" with these 1smaelites, and dis
pose Of them after the most approved meth
DDS Of determination.
But as to the policy Of Gen. Washburn In
m Question Of It's propsiety and wisdom, j,
We took to see The Returning prosperity OF
Tennessee date from his return to this COM
mand, for no man better understands the in
terest and The just dues Of our people.
The usual arguments against commercia!
intercourse have no force Us applied to dis
trict Of country which has been for four years
well.n;eh 1araIyzed uuder It's Ale bond
ace, and now lis acres desolated and its peo-
pie more than deciminatcd, Is left prey to
violence and out]awry. It is cruel TO con-
demn people like these to remain public enc
mics against their own Wit1-idie to argue
that to feed and c1othe them will augment
the resources Of the fated Confederacy-crlm.
ipal to INTENSITY the horrors Of the two fold
subjuEation by denying Them the protection
Of law and the supply Of physical necessities.
Hence we hope no stumbling block viii be
th1oWn In Gen, Washbusn's way until he hos
an Opportunity to i've his conciliatory policy
a fair and thorough trial in the Western Dis,
4rirf of Tenneseee.
