id,--Well, you will vote for me? Yes, because I shall vote according to what I believe to be the views of my constituents. How many times do you want me to vote for you before I may change my vote? Oh, said he, three times will be enough. Well, Judge, I said, laughing, I will do better than that; I will vote for you five times, and then feel at liberty to change. Oh, said he, that will be more than enough, and we parted. My personal preference for President was Guthrie of Kentucky, who had been Secretary of the Treasury during Pierce's administration. Being well acquainted with him I had great reverence for him as a clear-headed man, of quick perceptions, of careful and conservative reflections upon all subjects, and of a well-balanced mind. And I further knew that he looked upon the preservation of the Union as infinitely beyond any question in regard to slavery, and that he was willing to sustain slavery but not at the expense of the Union. I have never seen any

am sending reinforcements to General Curtis in Arkansas, and to General Buell in Tennessee and Kentucky. H. W. Halleck, Major-General. War Records, Vol. XV., p. 519. Now let us look a moment atging to the northern counties of Mississippi. Nearly the whole of the Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky troops have left. A large rear guard has been strung along perpendicular to the road for twentout a party, at the head of which was one of his staff officers, the late Governor Wickliffe of Kentucky. Wickliffe was in my office later with a flag of truce, and he told me that he went on board ted there by a division of our rebel enemies, under command of a major-general recreant to loyal Kentucky (whom some of us would have honored before his apostasy), of doubly superior numbers, you have . . Consider this case. General Bragg is at liberty to ravage the houses of our brethren of Kentucky because the Union army of Louisiana is protecting his wife and his home against his negroes. W

ey, and paid out as money, months afterward, when my neighbor has become bankrupt, buy up other of his checks and drafts at discount, and pay them to me instead of money, upon the ground that I had made a special deposit. The respectability of the source from which the claim of the bank proceeds alone saves it from ridicule. The United States can in no form recognize any of the sequestrations or confiscations of the supposed Confederate States; therefore, the accounts with the Bank of Kentucky will be made up, and all its property will be paid over and delivered, as if such attempted confiscation had never been made. The result is, therefore, upon the showing of the bank by its return, that there is due and payable to the Confederate States, and therefore, now to be paid to the United States, the sums following:-- Confederate States treasurer's account$219,090.94 Confederate States special accounts12,465.00 Deposits by officers: J.

of dealing in finance,--a broker, perhaps. Had you any connection with the Peoples' Bank of Kentucky? I did business with that bank, and sometimes for it. When did you leave Kentucky? I cKentucky? I cannot give the date, General, but it was when Governor Morehead was arrested. Where did you move yourself and business? To Nashville, Tennessee. Did you continue business there? For a litsir. Did you renew, if you had ever broken it off, your connection with the Peoples' Bank in Kentucky? Yes, sir. How long did you remain in Montreal? I came here from there in December, lbuying gold at 240. Upon your own statement, and I believe it, you, a young secessionist, left Kentucky after secession to get away from the Union army; and left Tennessee when the other secessionist set up this business of speculating in New York, acting all the time with the Peoples' Bank of Kentucky, which is a financial agent of Jeff Davis. It is difficult to see why, finding you here acting

sary to relieve General B. on account of his total unfitness to command in the field, and his generally quarrelsome character. What shall be done with him, has therefore, already been, as I am informed, a matter of consultation. To send him to Kentucky would probably cause an insurrection in that State and an immediate call for large reinforcements. Moreover, he would probably greatly embarrass Sherman, if he did not attempt to supersede him by using against him all his talent at political ine millions (3,000,000). This shows that there is something behind him. He confessed that he left Louisville afraid of being arrested for his political offences. During the cross-examination, he confessed he was agent for the People's Bank of Kentucky, a secession concern which is doubtless an agent for Jeff Davis. Having no territorial jurisdiction, all I could do was to set before him the enormity of his crime, the danger he stood, having forfeited his life by rebellion to the government,
