ptorily refused, for two reasons. First, that the corporation of Memphis had no power to tax the United States. Second, that the people of Memphis, a city in rebellion, were entitled to no favor. The Journal publishes the following letter from Lincoln on the subject. The reader can form his own conclusions in the premises: Washington, Oct. 19, 1863. Henry T. Hulbert, Esq., Memphis, Tenn.: Sir: Assuming the within to be a true and full statement of facts, the claim seems to be air and just one. On consultation with the Secretary of War, however, he declares that to enter upon the adjustment of all claims even as meritorious as this while the war continues in its present proportions is more than his Department can bear. Knowing, as I do, how nearly overwhelmed he is, I am unwilling to force him in the matter. A. Lincoln. The Bulletin reports the laying up of the ferryboats on the 26th, on account of the presence of guerillas on the opposite side of the river.

nday last at $11.20 per ton of 2,240 pounds--a figure never before attained in that city. Gold was quoted in New York Thursday at 146½. Secretary Seward, in a speech at Auburn, N. Y., last week, said that "it is injustice, and downright robbery of Abraham Lincoln to refuse him the full enjoyment of the authority conferred upon him" in the election of 1860, and that "there can be no peace and quiet until Abraham Lincoln is President, under that election, of the whole United States." nday last at $11.20 per ton of 2,240 pounds--a figure never before attained in that city.

r associate with them, nor wed a woman of secession proclivities. If the Yankees should overrun the whole South, the people will have been so thoroughly sworn and to so many purposes, that we fear the obligations of an oath will lose their binding force. The above is not more absurd in its terms than that administered at Athens, Tenn., which imposed the obligation to obey the United States in preference to any State, county or other corporation. At Knoxville, merchants can only engage in the retail business. The wholesale trade is Brownlow's and his appointees. Brownlow must approve the sale of every bill of goods exceeding $5 in value, and for each approval he receives 20 cents. Cotton shippers must pay four cents per pound export duty and $2 per hogshead on tobacco, "before either can escape the vigilance of the treasury officers." Manufactured tobacco pays five per cent. export duty. Disloyal persons cannot trade, "nor Union men who do not approve Lincoln's war policy."
