Csnscripfiou of Speeie-GOId specula-
tiOns-Aid TO the Enemy.

From the Richmond Enquirer Feb. a.
The conscription of all the gold and sill
yer in the country and its dedication to
the good of the cause, instead OF permit
ting it to remain an actual aid TO the en-
emy, is attracting the attention of menl-
bers of Congress and tie Legislature
As long as gold is permitted to be sold,
either privately or at aVctioD, it is an ac-
tual aid to the enemy. Better remove it
at once from the trade of the country by
recurring its payment into the public
treasury. Conscript the gold Just rs We
conscript the men and soon will con
script the negroes. Impress the precious
metals Just as we impress the precious
corn and meal of the widow and the or
uhar. The brokers have no gold for
sale" to-day, but are buying at forty-tive
dollars they expect it to 60 up to one
hundred and ten dollars" Now this
means starvation to many of our people.
What injustice is done by borrowing
this iniquitous agent of the enemy, and
locking him up in the iron safes of the
treasury, Just as spy or emissary is I'M
prisoned in Castle Thunder, until the
war is overl After we are successful Mr..
Broker can get his gold with interest;
and if we are not successful he has no
use for his gold, because the Yankees
will take it from him. By all means
conscript and impress the gold.

The Assault npon General johnson
His Reputation Defendcd-Ais hes
toration to Command Demanded.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Feb. Z.
The assault upon General Johnson by
the Senator of Louisiana, Mr.. Semmes'
ON YESTERDAY, was not only ill-timed, but,
for the object of the Senator, most unfor-
tunate. For, instead of destroying the
immense popularity that now attaches
to General Johnson il called forth from
the Senator from Texas the most able,
brilliant, and conclusivedefense to when
We have ever listened. The speech OF
Mr.. Wigfall is, we much regret, unaYold-
ABLY crowded out to-day. but shall appear
Tomorrow. Mr. Wigfall took up the mil
itarv career of General Johnson at Ma
masses. and, following it through the
Peninsula the Yicksbng and the Allan
ia campaign, most ably and conclusive
ly demonstrated that military tact, Judg-
ment. and ability had marked every cam
pairn until marred by the failure or the
orders of Others. The whole speech was
Characterized by great ability, and re-
nIete with important facts If the friends
of the President are 50 blind as to i'm
aoine that they can defeat the purpose
of the country to have General Johnson
restored TO command by assall1ng hls
military reputation, they very little nn-
derstand the temper OF the people. lhe
cause is the peoples cause, and the army
is the army of the country. And when
the army and ths people both demand Il
particular leader, it is worse than folly,
and it is wickedness, to deny their wishes;
In a monarchy, such obduracy would
cost the prime minister his place, perhaps
his head in republic it may demand
as much from those who thus attempt TO
stand between the people and their canse,
as they understand it. We hope the
President will end this unbecomlng
squabble by yielding to the public wish
and permitting the people to have the
general to command the army that they
wish. 1t is their cause, and if they de-
sire General Jonson, and believe that he
can save their cause, whether the Presl-
dent agrees with them or not, a sound dis
cretion should advise him to yield and
let the people have their way. This Is
the only way to have harmony.

FROM SHERMAN.
Reported Rebel Evacuation.
The Capture of Branchville
Richmond, Charleston and Whining.
tom 10 be Evacuated Branchvilie
again Reported In Possession OF
(Press Dispatch. |

New YORK, Feb. l3.-The Herald's dis
patches from the Army of the James,
mention renewed rumors of preparations
by the rebels for the evacuation OF Rich
mond. Deserters and Others who came
into the national lines last Friday night,
unanimously concurred in the statement
that the enemy's artillery on the North
side of the James river in front OF the
Union works, was being removed. They
also said that orders had been given by
Lee, for the court martialing of any OF
his men caught at the distance of half
mile in the rear of his lines. This would
seem to confirm the former report, or at
least to indicate that something more
than ordinary was in progress among the
rebels in the vicinity of Richmond.
The Tribune's Washington special says
it is generally credited tonight in Off
cial circles, that Branchville is in Sher-
mans possession, and that Charleston is
being evacuated. 1t is expected that
Richmond and Wilmington will be evac-
uated also, and that the rebels will make
desperate attempt to concentrate their
force, and endeavor to crush Sherman
while he is in the interior. There is no
doubt but that the removal of slaves, &c,
South from Richmond lately, look to its
abandonment at no distant day.

Speech Of Gen. Beauregard-He will
Beg n Passage TO some Foreign
Country il he Fails in the Field.
IFrom the Richmond Whig, Fe

From the hlcpDonu w mig, reo al
We learn from the correspondence of
the Mobile Register that after the sereI-
ade to General Hood, a few evenings
since, the band repaired to the quarters
of Gen. Beauregard. The general being
called out, addressed himself to the Lou
isaniaus, and said he was always glad to
meet men who had, like the soldiers of
Louisiana, by their gallant bearing at all
times upon the battlefield, placed their
names high upon the scroll of fame. He
urged upon them to remember that
though their homes might all be in the
hands of the enemy, they still had a
home left-and that home was IN the
front. He reviewed briefly his military
career from the firing of the first gun at
Sumter, until the present, and wanted
them to know that he intended to figh;
to the bitter end-and that if he failed
he could beg passage to some foreign
country. He paid glowing tribute to
the women Of the ContsdsraGy, to whoss
