sal to have an interview with his cabinet
minister was of course evidence of Mr.
Lincoln's .desire to be relieved of him.
Mr. Chase was shut up, therefore, to the
eu . nrse' i he, wok. t On Wednesday last,
ihout noon, shortly afteir the receipt of
the President's letter; Mr. Chase replied
that he had sincerely sought the best
men for the'places, without reference to
anypther classification than that of sup
porters and opponents of the administra
tion; that, while the withdrawal of Mr.
Cisco's resignation relieved the present
difficulty, he could not help feeling that
his position wAis not altogether agreeabla
to the President, and that it was certain
ly too full of 'effiburrassment, and
ettity . , atirpainfurnstionsibility, to al-
low him the least desire to retain it.
He felt it his duty, therefore, to ten
der his resignation, and it would
be a real relief if the • Pretident
would accept it; ,whsle he would
most cheerfully render to his successor,
in entering upon his duties, all the as
sistance in his power, With the Presi
dent's language before him, Mr. Chase,
of course, had no doubt of the accept
ance of his resignation, and considered
himself virtually relieved of the crush
ing responsibilities of his' office. A friend
who called on him that evening was sur
prised to find his careworn expression all
gone, and the old cheerfulness returned.
"Why, Mr. Chase," said he, "what has
put you in such fine spirits?" "I can't
tell you now. Call to-morrow, and you
shall know." But "to-morrow" he did
not call , —the • whole nation had been
startled into "knowing." Still, he de
termined to remain at his post to the last.
A few hours before his resignation lie
had finished and forwarded his letter to
the Ways and Means Committee, asking
additional taxation, and showing its nec
essity. The night he spent in perfect
ing some tables, showing what revenue
the bill just passed Nvould produce, and
the next morning, not having yet receiv
ed any reply from the President, he pass
ed some time in conference with the
Finance Committee at the Capitol on the
same subject. Abort 11 o'clock Mr.
Lincoln gave the anticipated acceptance
of the resignation, and nominated to the
Senate, as Mr. Chase's successor, David
Tod, of Ohio. He told his late secreta
ry, in a letter of six lines. that, if it ever
sees the light, it will be held chief among
the wonders of this administration, that
he had no words concerning his ability
and fidelity to unsay, yet that, he and
Mr Chase had reached a point of mutual
embarrassment in their official relations
which could not be longer sustained.
And so he parted with the greatest Sec
tetary of the Treasury the nation has
ever had. When the senators called on
the President to remonstrate, he read
over several times the correspondence,
and so it has come to be pretty generally
known. Mr, Chase has been asked for
it for publication, but, while expressing
his hope that it may be given to the pub
lic, has steadily refused to do it himself,
on the ground that the President, as the
superior officer, has control over it. Will
not th.i President do the simple justice
to the man who for three years has se
cured for him the means for carrying on
this gigantic war, to publish this corres
pondence?
Secretary Chase's Treasury Ex
ploits.
Mr. Chase informed the country in his
last report that "for the first time in the
history "of the country has a real ap
proach to a unitorm currency been made
and the benefits of it, though still far
from the best attainable condition, are
felt by all." He also gave repeated as
surances that the issue of paper currency
would be stopped, while persistently in
flating it until it reached the enormous
aggregate of nine hundred and sevesty
nine millions of dollars. Mr. Chase left
the Treasury Department after adopting
the following expedients under pretense
of borrowing at a low rate of inter
est:
1 Paper money convertable into
coin.
2 Legal tender paper money.
3 Legal tender postage stamps.
4 Legal tender fractional currency.
5 Legal tender five per cent, two
years, semi-annual coupons.
6 Legal tender live per cent., two
years, interest at maturity.
7 Legal tender five per cent., one
year, interest at maturity.
8 Legal tender six. per cent., three
years interest at maturity, compounded
semi-annually.
9 Legal tender seven-thirty per cent.,
three years interest semi-annual
10 Legal tender seven-thirty p:r
cent., three years interest at matur
ity.
~11 Certificates of indebtedness, six per
cent., one year, interest in coin.
12. Certificates of indebtedness, six
.percent., one year, interest in paper.
13. , Certificates of deposit, four per
cent., ten days, interest in coin.
14. Certificates of deposit, five per
cent-, ten days, interest in paper,
15. Certitcates of deposit, sir. per
centt, ten days interest in paper.
16. National bank notes, legal tender
from and to the government.
A. thousand millions o f dollars are
wanted for the expenditure of the current
year, or more than eighty millions a
month, on the heels of Mr. Chase's failure
to borrow seventy-five millions This is
the problem which Chase, hailed as a
great- financier, has left to his succes
sor.

AN INSIDE HISTORY
The reader will find upon our first
page, an interesting and curious account
of the real difference which forced Mr.
CHASE to leave the cabinet; it is from
the Washington correspondence of the
Cincinnati Gazette, the leading Abolition
paper of Ohio. This inside history of
Mr. LiNcoLN,show him to be a most reek
lot-s public servant. When the finances
or the country are utterly deranged, Mr.
LINCOLN'S desire is to place the fiscal
alioire of the government under the con
t tol of mere political harks, regardless of
their integrity or qualifications. This
rant of the dispute between the Presi
dent and Mr. CHASE is utterly astound
ing, and is disgraeeful to the former. 11e w
Mr. CHASE staid in the cabinet of a
President so utterly regardless of the
welfare of the-Treasury is really astound
ing,
Mr. LINCOLN'S insisting on incompe.
Mint assistants for Mr. CnAsE, was fol.
!owed by the selection of DrivE Too, as
his successor; these acts of Mr. LINCOLN
show him to be the meanest and narrow
est of partizans. And, yet after being
gailty of acts charged upon him by the
article alluded to, the national butfoon
caused it to be announced that his reli
ence was not in himself but in a greater
power. Truly is old ABE a most cun
ning, hypocritical and reckless adven
turer.
THE RAID ON WASHINGTON
Complaint of the criminal negligence
of the Administration, in not being pre
plred to successfully meet, repel and
annihilate the late impudent rebel in
vasion of the capital of the nation, has
aroused the indignation of the extreme
fanatics to a most extraordinary degree;
that the people should complain at all,
is, to these besotted partizans, quite in
comprehensible. No matter, with these
demented Ab ilitionists, what the Ad
ministration does, or neglects to do, it is
all the same; with them "whatever is is
right," as regards the proceedings of
the powers that be.
One of these unfortunate and benight
ed fanatics, a correspondent of the
Commercial, of this city, writing from
Washington in yesterday's iesue re
marks.
''We again breathe freely In this city. the
rebels have come and gone. If their purpose
was the capture of \Washington, they utterly
foiled; 1 . 1 !dander was alone the object, they sw.reed
,l fully, amd have escaped with it all beyond
capture. A dreadful bray and howl against the

The purpose of the late raid was
plunder, not the capture of Washing.
ton, and the approach upon that city
‘N as:merely to divert the Administra
tion's attention until the piunder was
made secure. In this the rebels were
entirely successful. What the National
Tatelligencer and who think with
it complain of is that the Administra
tion was not prepared to prevent the in
vasion, entirely. It was warned of the
rebel Ineparations to invade six weeks
b More the invasion took place; and yet,
not a tnove did it make t meet and pun.
ish it unit lioth Pennsylvania and
Ma ryiand had been outraged and plun
dered. This, in the fourth year of
the war, is, we think, enough' to justify
the Inteligerumr, and than who think
with it, in holding the Administration
to the strictest cc !ountability. The
purpose of the rebel incursion was mere
ly plunder, and in that, the rebels
were entirely successful." There
therefore, no probable excuse that can
save the Administration from merited
censure. It is surely a most mortifying
reflection to think, that, at the present
stage of our proceedings, a few . ragged
rebel rascals, prompted by hunger and
approaching destitution, were permitted
to invade our southern border and stay
in it until they stripped our peo
ple of everything they required to re
plenish their army. This, together with
threatening. the capital itself, may be
considered of altett importance in Abo
lition estitnatio run it strikes us as
being most humilialing, in view of
the repeated assurances we have
had of the rebellion's approaching
dissolution. Only a few weeks ago, the
President assured the country that Rich
mond was about to crumble, and while
patiently waiting for the welcome tidings
which were to announce its fall, we
were startled from our propriety by the
sounds of rebel marauders advancing
upon the National capital. If these
proceedings are not calculated to pro
voke disparaging comment of our rulers,
we know of no disaster that could.
The reader, of course, remembers
that, when two years ago, after POPE
had been beaten and chased by LEE
into the very gates of Washington, and
when the rebel chief, with his victorious
legions invaded Maryland that the
President implored General MCCLELLAN
once more to come to the rescue, by
taking command of POPE'S demoralized
army. McCLELLAN immediately set to
work, and reorganized the shattered
• regiments. He put them in the best
shape possible and went in search of

cause "copperheads" are not pleased

Inteih
'jeerer complains of the Administration
not being preffilred to prevent or cap
ture these rebel Invad era, it is put
down among those who are "sympa
thisers with treason." If the Adminis
tration was justified in removing Mc
CLELLaN after the splendid campaign to
which we have alluded, it strikes us
that "the fitness of things" require the
people to quickly consign it to the
quiet attractions and fascinations of pri
vate life—"a consummation devoutly to
to be wished," and one which will be
handsomely accomplished by the people
next November.
A Flash of Genius
The. Tribune publishes, and editorially
calls attention to, a mess ot incoherent sen
sational nonsense about gold-gambling,
which it copies from a city sporting pa
per. 'The stupid horse-jockey who wrote
the article traces all our woes to the forty
or fifty people who deal in gold in Wall
street.: His scheme to reduce the price
of gold is the very perfection of absurd
ity. He proposes, in the first place, to
destroy wuat little of our commerce the
rebel pirates have left, by passing a non
intercourse act, and then we are to get
ready for a war with England. These
efficient measures would, according to
th - s cock-fighting oracle, finish up the
gold-gamblers. We rather think it
would, end the country as well.
The following is a specimen-brick of
this fearful hnd wonderful composition:
It will be objected that France and
England might, in retaliation for non
intercourse, recognize the confederacy
and raise the. blockade. It is not un
likely that they would; but does any one
believe., in the face of the experiences of
this war, that the rebels would be bme
fitted by such a course? Their ports
have already been sufficiently open to
enable them to obtain all the material of
war thiey want, and they havii put more
misers on the Sea titan we have had
commerce to feed their rapacity. The
only effects therefore, which would fol
low the rai , ing of the blockade, would
be to debauch the rebels with an ener
vating luxury, and deprive them of that
vigorot; simplicity which has made
every man a soldier. We have bad cur
ports open; and lo! the vital drain, the
false prosperity and softened virtue of
the North! Does any one dispute we
would not have hewn our way further
toward the heart of the rebellion if our
ports had been closed, and we sternly
depending on ourselves'
Now, that is a brilliant idea. Hereto
fore we have tried to starve out the re
bellion.; but it appears to thrive on star
vation; and so we must take a directly
opposite course. Hereafter, then, we
are to raise the blockade, help clothe the
rebels on purple and fine linen, "de
Bauch them with enervating luxuries„'
and ourselves take to hominy, rags, dirt,
and lice, so as to be able to "hew our
way further toward the heart of the re
bellion." Who can wonder that the na
tion is in the agonies of dissolution when
such frenzied idiots as this writer are
quoted approvinglyby the organs of the
party in power, and are among the ad
visers of the heads of the nation?

Rebel Statement.

OiCoLONA i Atlas. une 14.
There is but one fact significant above
all others in connection with the recent
victory of General Forrest—it is the
arst which has been won by the smaller
over the larger force, where the ine
quality in numbers was so great that
every participant in the struggle must
have been conscious of the relative
Strength of the combatants. Strategy,
Forrest's name, and confidence in their
lender won the day. The Yankees and
negroes oppose Forrest in Middle Tenn
and come loith simply to slaughter,
the helpless, to plunder and desolate the
country.
Forrest's strength in the contest was
about 3.500 men. The number of ne
groes and whites is not accurately aster
mined. Prisoners say that their force
was twelve or fifteen thous Intl. Tele
graph dispatches have given the general
result of the battle, but many days must
elapse before the details are known.
Prisoners are constantly brought in by
the country people. 'Very few negroes,
it seems have been captured. Perhaps
not more than forty or fifty have ap
reared at headquarter. Most of them
tied as soon as It was known that For
rest was on the battle-field.. Those that
were taken escaped. (?) . The soldiers
say they lost them.'Y
You must know that most of Forrest's
men are from Western Tennessee. Be
fore the battle, fugitives from the coun
ties through which Sturgis and his
troops were advancing, came into camp,
detailing incidents which made men
shudder who are accustomed to scenes
of violence and bloodshed. I cannot
relate the stories of these poor frighten
ed people. Robbery, rapine and assas
sination of men and women, were the
least of crimes committed, while the
"Avengers of Fort Pillow" overran the
country. Rude unlettered men, who
had fought at Shiloh, and in many sub
sequent b ages, wept like children
when they heard of the enormities to
which their mothers, sisters and wives
had been subjected by the negro merce
naries of Sturgis. The mildest, most
permeable of our soldiers became mad
men when they heard how the persons
of their kinswomen were violated. The
negroes were regardless of the age, con
dition, sex, or entreaties of their vic
tims.
In one instance, the grandmother,
daughter, and grand daughter, were
each, in the same room held by the
drunken brutes and subjected to outrages,
by the bare recital of which humanity is
appalled. A young wife, enceinte, teas
taken tot negro encampment, and tied
to stakes driven in the ground, was made
to minister to the hellish passions of a
dozen fiends. Death, in his mercy came
to her relief. A little boy who sought to
defend his mother, was brutally bayonet.

ed upon humane creatures by remorse

and the agony of hopeless shame, and
famine, and fire, and blood; and the as
sassination of the helpless and unotfend
ing, marked the progress,of the" Aven
gers of Fort Pillnw." It is not strange
that negro prisoners were "lost." The
whites who led them on and incited
them to these damnable deeds deserve a
more terrible punishment. Yet we have
sent three thousand of those white men
to prison to he exchanged. Simple jus•
tics demands their instant execution by
the hangman's rope.
You have heard that our soldiers bur
led negroes alive at Fort Pillow. This
Is true. At the first fire after' Forrest's
men scaled the walls, many of the ne
groes threw down their arms and fell
as if they NA ere dead. They perished in
the pretense, knd could only be restored
at tic point of the bayonet. To resus
citate some of them, more terrified than
the rest, they were rolled into the
trendies made as receplacles for the fal
len. Vitality was not restored until
breathing was obstructed, and then the
re-urreetion began. On these facts is

IT is now reported, on what authority
we do not know,. that the Confederate
stervner Florida is now waiting outside
of Cherbourg for an opportunity to fight
the Kearsege, and thereby vindicate the
honor of the confederate navy, which

TUE LuLhern Commissioner, Mason,
is again in London, and proffered his
acknowledgements on the part of the
Confederate Government, to the corn
mander of the English watch Deerhound,
for having rescued Semmes, in his late
danger of being taken prisoner. It is
further rOortcd that Captain Winslow
has been roundly ridiculed by the Eng.

manded the restoration of Ilia prisoners.
_No wonder, when even our owrt , radical

A CitTNITNAL case is on trial at Bolog
na which quite surpasses that of la
Pommerais in the chapters of horror. It
is an association of a hundred and five
malefactors. who have ommitted all
sorts of robberies and crimes. Lest they
might Ilse en maßse and overpower the
court, the precaution was taken to, have
them all locked securely in a great iron
cage which has been constructed in the
Hall of Assizes. Being thus restricted
from violent demonstration, they are
forced to content themselves with gross
abuse and vituperation.
IT is now rumored about that the Re
public of Peru is seriously meditating a
proposition for putting the Chincha Is
lands under the protectorate of the
United States. These islands are now
occupied by Spanish forces, and un
doubtedly the Republic of Peru would
be willing to have our aid in their expul
sion. Our Government at present, avoids
all danger of involving itself in difficul
ties with any lorcign power, or else Na
poleon would have been called upon to
lender an account of his hostile invasion
and occupation of blexico, we, therefore,
c'nteltain sonic. doubts as to the correct
ness of this statement.
TriE Washington correspondents ui
some of the Republican papers state
that since the Blairs have got Chase out
of the cabinet they have now turned
their batteries upon Stanton; and there is
a likelihood that very peremptory and
scatter brained personage may also be
compelled to walk the plank. In view
of what is every day occurring, and in
order to bring about unity in the happy
family, it would not be a bad idea for
the President to get rid of his present
cabinet, and install in their place the
Blair family. They have clearly become
a power behind the throne greater than
the throne itself.

BRANDREISWS PILLS.—THEY
expel the poisons which threaten life.
Every time a sick person is purged by this vege
table remedy, he has less vitiated humors and
more life and vigor, as any one can prove by
taking a single dose. Persons' of spare habits
gain flesh and strength while using them. Every
time we rest a few days or weeks from the puce
gatlon, we make new fluids from our food,
which replace the unsound ones that the Pills
have caused to be .evacuated. Each time we
repeat this process, we expel further quantities
of impurities, which are again replaced by fluids
less and less impure, so that in a short time, by
continuing this treatment, we bring back the
whole sass of fluids or humors to that state
01 purity .!which constitutes health, for Bran
areth's Pills only take away humors which are
unsound.
