AMAN WHO WANTED $1,000 IN GOLD.
DR.. K. J. Stewart, of Virginia, has reached
this place, and very mysterloasly Informs me
that he has plan for the execution Of some
President. He is In want Of money, and
states TO me that you gave him draft on me
for $40. 600 fn gold, which has been lost on the
way. he has sent back to Richmond for re-.
neWal. He has rented a large house and
moved his family into 1t. cannot doubt bis
words, but. of course, do not feel authorized
to advance him money without your authority
or that of the President. | have, no Sever,
been constrained to advance him $500 in gold
on his written statement that unless the
money was placed in his hands, the lives and
liberties OF high Confederate officers would be
imperllled.
A FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Owing to the Ill health Of Mr.. Clay, we sepa-
rated at halifax, and since then we have not
lived together, though We have been In con-
snltIng distance. AS the money was all in my
name. which supposed to be controlled by US
Jointly. and as he desired to have sum

which he promises TO account 10 the proper
authorities at home. Including the money

not vet expended, the entire expenditure as
VET on all accounts Is. about $500, 900. still
hold three drafts for SLOT, 900 each, which have

YOUR wish should remain here for the pres.
emit and I shall obey your orders. Indeed, l
have 30 many papers In my possession which,
In the hands of the enemy, would utterly ruin
and destroy very many OF the prominent men
of the North, that q due sense of my obligation
to them will force On me the EXTREMIST caution
In my movements.
NO DEPENDENCE ON NORTHERN ALLIES.
For the future, discardlpg all dependence
on the organizations in the Northern States,
our efforts, In my judgment, should be directed
to inducing those who are conscrlpted In the
North, and who utterly refuse TO join the
army to fight against the Confederate States,
to make their way South to Join our service.
It is believed by many that at least number
sufficlent to make up a division may be Sc
cured In this way for our service before
spring, especially If our army opens up a road
to the Ohio; Some are now on their way to to
Corlnth, which at present Is the point OF
rendezvous. Also, to operate on their rail:
roads and force the enemy to keep up guard
on all their roads, which will require large
standing army at homeland to burn, wherever
1t is practicable, and thus make the men OF
property feel their insecurity and tire them
out with the war
The attempt on New York has produced a
great panic which will not subside at their
bidding.

tance which have occurred during my so1ourn
In Canada, but shall omit them at present.
