THE DISTRESS or THE SoUTH is shown in
the fact that Virginia raised $4,000 for tie
comfort ofJetf Davis aud his family Narth
Carolina contributed 5000 or $50, 600 for
a monument for the rebel dead The State
of Mississippi appropriated $50 600 to test
the constitutionality of the reconstruction
act. Memphis can raise large sums of
money to get up tournaments, and, indeed,
whenever there is an occasion for honoring
the rebel dead or Of testifying in regard to
living traitors, there seems to be no lack of
funds, and no difficulty in raising what IS
required. This to say the least, ia little
remarkable.

SHERIDAN The frm hand with which
the gallant Gen Sheridan holds in check
the rebels ia his department is source Of
great annoyance to the rebels and Copper
heads all over the country. While not dar-
ing TO condemn him openly, they are nearly
all, the administration organ leading off,
finding fault with his Judgment, charging
him with unnecessary severity, &c, and re-
commenting Gen. Thomas as more suits-
Bile man for the position. All this is done
no doubt Understandings, with a view to
prepare the public mind for the removal of
Little Phil and placing some one in his
place, who viii consent to subserye rebel
interests. In the meantime the bero Of
Winchester keeps sharp watch over his
rebel wards, allowing no fear Of Presidcp
tial frowus to interfere with his sense Of
duty in keeping the peace. 4 few days ago
when the rebels threatened to break up a
Republican meeting, in New Orleans he
promptly placed his troops under arms,
drew up the gunboats along the leyen, so as
to command the city, and was himself with
his subordnates, in the saddle, prepared 10
put down any attempt to repeat the Mon
roe massacre oflast year Such faithfulness
may bring the gallant soldier under the
Presidential ban, but it merits the appro
baton of all peaceful, loyal and law abiding
citizens, without regard to political opinions.
