GEN. GRANTTO MIR. POLLARD.
HID. QRs. WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
February II, 1866
To Fl. Ripes Pollard, Esq.,:

To H. Ripes Pollard, Esq:
SIR: The course of the Examiner in
every number which l have seen has
been such as to foster and increase the
i'll feeling toward the Government of
the United States by the discontented
policy of the Southern people. ! be-
Iieve it to be for the best interests of
the whole people, North and South to
suppress such uttcrance whenever the
power exists to- do so. The power
certainly does exist where martial law
prevails and will be exercised. Reluc-
tant as | was to pursue this course, l
have felt it my duty to pursue it in this
instance, and as much as l dislike to
interfere with the interests Of individ
uals, only deem it mischievous and
improper in tendency to revoke the
order for the suppression of the Rich
mond Examiner ut this time.
Respectfully, U. S. GRANT,
Lieutenant General.
The following is copy of the cir
| clllar letter addressed:
TO DEPARTMENT COMMANDERS.
You will please send to these head
quarters as soon as practicable, and
from time to time hereafter, such cop
les of newspapers published in your
department as contain sentiments OF
disloyalty and hostility to the Govern
ment in any of its branches, and state
whether such paper is habitual in its
utterancc of such sentiments. The
persistent publication of articles calcu-
lated to keep up q bad state of feeling
between the people of the different sec
tions of the country cannot be tolera-
ted, and this information is called for
with view to their suppression, which
will he done from these headquarters
only.
BY command of Lieut.. Gen. GRANT.
II. S. BOWERS, A. A. G.
After receiving General Grants re-
ply Mr.. Pollard sought the President
and exhibited all the papers connected
with his application, including General
Grants reply. Upon n full examina-
ton and consideration, the President
promised to revoke the order suppress
ing the Examiner upon solemn prom
ises from Mr.. Pollard to publish no
more offensive articles, and to work
+truthfully with the purpose Of creating
kindly feelings toward the Govern
ment. The order of revocation will be
issued to- morrow.

The Richmond Examiner Difficulty

Mr.. Pollard, of the Richmond EX-
aminer, has had two interviews with
the President and one with Gen. Grant,
in order to secure a reversion of the
order suspending his paper 1t ap-
pears that the President declined abso-
lutely to have anything to do with the
matter, and referred Mr.. Pollard will
lingly to Gen. Grant, who this after
noon handed the following reply to
Mr.. Pollard, and directed copies Of it
to be attached to circular letter adj
dressed to the department comman-
ders.

the most complete and perfect construc-
ton ever known. The injuries which
the Alabama inflicted upon commerce
taught the Americans the wisdom OF turn-
ishing themselves with means OF retalla-
ton. They began these cruisers during
the war, and have not deslsted from build
ing them because the war is over. They
will finish the whole number to be in
readiness for service at any future time.
The Admiralty has had its attention d.
rected to these cruisers on several occa-
sions, but it is very doubtful whether we
have at present any vessels in the Eng
lish fleet which possess their powerful
ornaments and great speed. Three or
four of them are completed, and have
been tried with complete success.
Besides guncasting and ~shipbullding in
the American navy-yards, there is always
some new torpedo or she'll under trial.
There is an expanding torpedo which
throws out huge arms when it is fired,
andshelIs which woulddestroy a Monitor, if
proud of q little machine for making per-
cussion caps at the rate Of 25, 900 a day,
invented by a workman in the yard.
Economy and efficiency are the two ends
sought for in everything by Mr.. WelIes
and his subordinates, aud if they some
times fail they have undeniably given the
United States a naval force capable Of
holding its own against any that the Eu-
ropean Powers could bring against it.
When the vessels now under construc-
ton are completed the American fleet
will include rs Monitors, 40l screw or
paddle steamers, and 112 sailing vessels
carrying in all 4,443 guns. In January,
1861, IS vessels made up the whole Anne
rican fleet. II the difference between the
fleet in 1861 and 1866 is to be found the
best illustration that could be given of
the vigour and energy of the American
Navy Department.

THE EX-GOVERNOR OF JAMAICA.

Mr.. Evre's farewell address on his de-
parture from jamaica is eminently char
acteristic of himself. and reflects alike
his strong and his weak points. 1t is
substantially a reply 20 the Report of
the Commission, bul his defence of HIM
self shows exactly the same want of dis
elimination as his conduct sho we'd when
in command. He is still Governor Eyre
while he is defending Governor Eyre.
He appeals to the high degree of promp-t
tilude aud despatch with which the insur-.
rection was suppressed and he asserts
that the means he took were necessary
for that high degree of promptitude and
despatch. This is his defence. But this
is TO mistake the charge which is made
against him, and TO hang the case upon a
false issue. Nobody doubts that the in
surrection in Jamaica was vigorously
and successfully suppressed, and nobody
doubts that the means which were taken.
were such as TO lead to that success.
The only question is whether those
mean were all Of them legitimate, and
this question Mr.. Eyre does not meet.
There certainly was a confusion in his
mind, aud there is a confusion still be-
tween what is effective in putting down
an insurrectlon aud what is legal. His
idea still seems to be hat whatever I'M
mediately and directly tended to despatch
in that proceeding was lawful, and that
he was placed in a position in which he
had not to distinguish ut all between
these two characteristics of public action.
But 1t was his particular duty and his
proper function to have thus distinguish
