Richmond, March 10, 1865.
General: In compliance with your
request made a few days since in refer
ence to the strength Of the Army Of
Tennessee at the time you left Tupelo,
Miss, I respectfully submit that, ac-
cording to my recollection Of field
return of the army, which was being
made at that time and finished a day
or two after your departure, the 'ef-
fective total of the infantry and artil-
lery was about $1,000, perhaps few
hundred less. This return was made
after the West Tennessee regiments of
Maj.-Gen. Cheatham's Corps had been
furloughed, as well as some men fur
loughed under an order published at
Tupelo, and some small organizations
also furlougha d at Tupelo. l cannot
form any estimate of the number of
men thus furloughed, because you will
remember that all the organization fur
loughs were given by the corps COM
manders (your sanction having been
previously obtained); consequently the
strength Of such organizations at the
time they were furloughed was not fur
nished the Assistant Adjutant-GeneraPs
Office at army headquarters.

In a dispatch Of Jan. to President
Davis 1 asked for authority to grant
leave of absence to the Trans-Mlssis-
sippi troops; and, as the men from Ten
nessee had stood by their colors not
withstanding the army had been forced
to abandon their State, deemed it wise,
in consideration Of their faithful ser

leave of absence, as well as to others
who might be able to go home and re-

CURING cNNcEm.

Once again tlfe announcement is made that a cure has been found for that most horrible of all diseases. car- cer. and the news will doubtless be received with mingled joy and distrust. Tn all the Ills that effect humanity there is hardly one that Is more to be dreaded than this. It's approach and progress are silent. insidious and in- exorable and in most cases the cOn1i tion of the afflicted one Is hopeless. It's progress is frequently checked. giv- ing room for hopes which are usually groundless, for after remaining quiet for a time it again becomes active and rible death. someties 1t is cured. but too often an apparent cure is a deIus- ion soon dlspeIled
 Occasionally the announcement goes forth that a sure cure has been discov- ered. . It has not been many years Cundurango was exploited throughout the civilized world as sure remedy for thfs Iosthsome disease. Perhaps some cures were made by it. though this may be doubted. but it obtained an immense reputation and entire cargoes of 1t were sent out to other countries. If 1t really possessed any curative pow erk 1t must have been slight, for it's popularity was brief. which would not have been the case if 1t had been even A partial remedy.
 But now another remedy has been announced and hope Is again revived. In a recent magazine article Dr. Sales by. an eminent British physician, al- ludes to some recent experiments made by Professor John Beard. which are thus condensed by The Chicago Jour nal
 Prof. Beard concludes that the cancer cell has always been in the body but not of 1t. In short he be- lieyes It to be a germ cell that has the embryo child before birth. Most of these germ cells either reach their proper position in the embryo, through What Is called the germinal path, or else disintegrate and die But all Of them do not. Sometimes one of them finds itself permanently misplaced in the body of the embryo and then 1t attempts to continue it's life-cycle, the attenpt ending in the production in the place of its lodgment of what scientific men know as "troDhoblastic"

tissue. or malignant cancer or tum- or.
 Now in the. panersas, which Prof Beard calls the most important organ of dfEestfons is produced a. fermeDt known as trypsin, long ago discover ed by scfence. This ferrnent has been found to destroy the malignant cancer, cell with the utmost ease in the low CT animals; and Prof. Besrd and Dr. SaIesby are convinced thsfa 1t will do the same sthfnelin man
 This Is brief statement oftwhat tho. new remedy Is and how 1t operates Experiments are being made in various parts of the world and it may be ad- ded that Dr. ssiesbv is so impressed with the importance of the discovery that he is giving all possible publicity to the matter. It is almost too good to true. but if the hopes and expee- tations are verified there have been few discoveries in medical science in modern tifnesSthat will prove greater blessing to mankind than this To~cure genuine cases of cancer will be an achievement ofswhich science may we'll boast. Let us at least hope that if'is' true.

A LAME DkFrScE.

A few days ago a colored citizen of fndaanapo1fg had communscatiorS iif The star. of that city. in which he spAeaiks of ths niisttkatment of the rSe- groes by the whites and of the want of protection or eonsideratiou from the onlcers Of the law. After showing that his race can expect no legal pro- feefion he seriously declares that the only resource left for the negroes is. to take C7astic measures to meet the situation and prepare to defend them selves against the assaults of the law Jess white clement" To this The Star replies:
 No more disastrous course could be followed by the negroes than this. for 1t would increase rather than lessen manifest this vicious race prejudice form very small part of the white p6pulation The sympathy of all the better class of people is with s.s the ns- ns able and It IS the desire of all law abiding citizens that their assatlantsr be punished.
 T'his is almost or quite the invar- fable excuse put up for the III treat ment of negroes In any Northern city or community. The plea is always that the bfutaIity and injustice ex-' hii}lted towards them is done by a very small clement of the pop1lation. and that the large majority of the whites. including all the best element. favprs just treatment towards them.
 Tfis. We say. is the almost universal plea put up by the newspapers and thS 6Hicfals. but the facts do not bear out tfe arguhent. The facts show that the white people generally of those cities. Including the Best as well as the worst clements and also includ- iha the officials, are either indifferent to the treaoment of the colored people or ape iniInicaI to the entire race. If 1t Is tfde that the bulk of the white peo- pie dp there are friendly to the ne- groes and desire to see them justly and fairly treated it Is a decided re- fleeti6r on their manhood to admit, as they virtnal1y do. that they are not able or willing to enforce the laws which are intended to give equal and exact justice to all citizens Perhaps tifS correct explanatfon Is that "the best clement" doesn't care what Is done to or with the negroes.
