GENERAL LONGSTREET.

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes the follow
ing extract of private letter from General
Longstreet.
1t is just what might have been expected
from this gallant soldier. Earnest faithful
and brave, in the cause which he had es-
poused during the war he is equally honest
and frank in declaring his desire for peace
and return to Constitutional Union. And
he speaks the words of "solemness and
TRUTH" when he declares that the great mass
of the Southern people think with him on
these important questions. General Long
street says:
" I see that some Of the public men of the
North are still inclined to doubt our loyalty at
the South, and to hold us in our present con-
dition for further guarantees. What can we
do to satisfy them? We are willing and anx-
ious to do anyth ng that is wanted of US, pro-
vided we are allowed to get on some consttu-
tional platform. | do not suppose that there
are thousand men in the South who think
differently from myself on this subject: and
have some doubts whether there are as many
as that who would leave the Union to-day if
they were offered the choice to go out or re-
turn upon terms of equality"
The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1866-02-07

The New York Post thinks it is idle to be
calculating how soon we could pay off the
principal of our debt if it were all funded at
five per cent, when we are so far from being
able tc borrow at six or seven per cent 1t is
also said:
The present condition Of our public credit
is very costly. If we negotiate to-day at par
gold-bearing loan of one thousand million
dollars, we should do so at loss of three hun
dred million dollars. This consideration is very
important in view Of the fact that, disregard
ing the ordinary legal tender notes, there are
and will be due, before and in the year
1868, government obligations for which, by
their terms, payment can be demanded, to the
amount of one thousand two hundred million
dollars Whether we can sell these new bonds
at par III paper money, or at par in gold in
wolves the question of three hundred million
dollars, more OF less in the sum total of the
public debt.
If one per cent per annum be saved in the
rate of interest on thirty-yea bonds, that, on
one thousand million dollars is three hundred
million dollars
lt,seens to us p ain that measures to bring
up the government credit are much mare di-
rect and much more efficient towards keeping
down and lessening the sum total of the debt,
than the ordinary sinking fund process.

OUR FLEET.

The New York Herald's Florence CORE
spondent gives the particulars Of the recent
sudden and unexpected withdrawal from its
Mediterranean rendezvous of Admiral Colds
borough's American squadron, which has
caused considerable sensation among the
European politicians. This movement, taking
placcin mid-winter, when every one supposed
the fleet was snugly laid up in quarters till
spring, has naturally given rise to much specu-,
lation as to the cause, the leading idea in the
diplomatic circles of the Italian capital being
that the step has been taken owing to the
supposed delicate relations at present existing
between the United States and France, and
IN order to prevent our ships from being shut
up in the Mediterranean by French ron-clads

GLOOMY PROSPECT AHEAD.

A Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sum- writing under date of the 18th in
slant, says
"There is no sign of any relaxation of the
stringent policy of Congress in regard to the
seeded States and their members elect
Not until the Committee on Reconstruction
shall have completed their system for the flu
ture government of the lately revolted States,
and witnessed its acceptance and practical APP
plication with those States will be represented
in Congress, and then no member will be adj
mtted who cannot subscribe to the test oath
AS ninety-nine out of hundred of the South
ern people south of the Potomac were more
or less engaged in the rebellion, it is quite I'M
certain whether, during the present generation,
those States can be represented at a|l-unless,
indeed, great change in the representation
of the Northern States in Congress shall take
place. The many intelligent citizens Of the
South, who have visited Washington of late,
have come to this conclusion"
At the conclusion of his letter, be says:
"Some political uncertainties will soon be
settled. An issue is to be made between the
President and Congress in a few days"

General News.

The President and the Cabinet have had
under consideration the argument of .Semmes,
claiming the right to be discharged under the
Sherman-Johnson parole, but have come to
no definite conclusion thereon. Until this
matter is disposed of there will be no detail
for court to try Semmes, and there is a bare
probability that the trial may be indefinitely
postponed.
The Fourth Auditor announces that the

"OBEY ORDERS"

A celebrated military r an is said to have
declared that there were but three rules ne
cessary to make a good soldier, which he
classed as-1st. Obey orders I'd. Obey Or
dersl Sd. Obey orders !!
In military point of view, he was right;
but had he lived at the present time in our
own section of the country, he would have
found that his martial doctrine was equally
applicable as political rule.
The Southern States are now unrepresented
in the Federal Government; and all that they
have to do, so far as government is concerned,
is to I" obey orders" The only duty incum-
bent on their people is to find out what their
Black Republican masters require, and to full
fiji the behest implicitly.
One thing is certain; it takes all trouble off
their hands. They have but to pay the
taxes and keep the peace, and the Republi-
cans will do the rest They need not bother
about foreign affairs, or domestic relations, or
the condition of the "colored siety" among
themselves all that will be fixed for them to q
turn by endless machinery A comfortable,
easy time is before them; they have no think
ing to do-only to obey
We counsel obedience-mplcit obedience.
File left, file right, mo matter which,) accord
ing to direction; and the mass must go right.
How could it be otherwise with such wise and
discriminating leaders to command as Thad.
Stevens, Julian, and that clique; with such
philosophers to guide as Sumner, with such
disciplinarians to punish as a score of the
righteous, whom we might name?
Happy are the Southerners that are in such
a case No need of political meetings-no
need of candidates and representatives in
fact, no need of pyinciplesl How smoothly
we shall glide on in future, following Black
Republican lead to fame and fortune! We
have just discovered the star of our destiny
let us worship it as reverently as the wise
men Of the East, did the star of Bethlehem
