We give the ramor for what it is worth, but we can seo no Feason why so heavy a force should, at this season of the year, attempt a raid or march through a country as bare ef provisions and forage as a Yankee is of principle.

Since their operations in General Grant’s rear, Captain Shadborn’s scouts have turned over to the government one hundred and twenty horses and eighty mules and some valuable material. General Grant has thoroughly fortified his rear. He fe now nearly as sirung in that quarter as ho is in front. This is done in order to prevent raids similar to Colonel Wade Hampton’s celcbrated cattle expedition. Every road is strongly barricaded, and heavy lines of ‘works extend in every direction. The Yankees have recently extended their picket lines from near Ream’s station two miles further towards Monk's Neck bridge. This was done in connection with their late movement towards Hatcher's run. A rumor reached the city yesterday afternoon that barges, with reinforcements for Grant, had entered the James river. It needs confirmation. If there were any transports there it is quest onable whether they really had troops on board, as ft is more than probable that General Grant regards it expedient to send reinforcements to Sherman rather than squat more men in the trenches in front of Peters- Derg or Chapin’s Farm. ‘The transports, if not imagi- nary, vhich is not improbable, may ba intended for this sais | Blasts from Lee's Bugle. ‘HIS ADDRESS TO THE ARMY AND THE COUNTRY. GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 2. Bavqvanrers, Akains ov Tis Conrerscate STATES, Feb. 11, 1865. In etitering upon the campaign about to open, the Geroral-in-Chief feels assured that the soldiers who bave go long and 80 nobly borne the hardships ond dangers of the war require no exhortation to respond to the cails of honor and duty. With the liberty transmitted by their forefathers they ave inherited the spirit to defend it The choice between war and aiject submission ts be- fore them. To such @ proposal brave mi hands, can have but one answer. They cannot barter manhood for peace, nor the right of self government for life or property. But Justice to them requires a sterner admonition to hose who have abandoned their comrades in the hour of il. A last opportunity 18 offered them to wipe out the dis- grace and escape the punishment of their crimes. By authority of the President of tie Confederate taies, a pardon is annmineed to such de: vters and men tmproperly awent as shall return to the which they belong within the short exceeding twenty ways from the pu @t the headquarters of the deparument with arms in their n of this order, in which they y be. ‘Thore who may be prevented by iu terruption of com- Munication may rvport within fhe tune specified to the Bearest enrolling oilicer or other officer on duty, to be forwarded fs soon as practicable, and upon presenting a @ertificate (rom such officer showing compliance with this juirement will receive the pardon hereby offc hose who have deserted to the service of the enemy, or who bave deseried after having been once pardones for the same offence, and those who sball desert ur ubsent themseives without authority after the publicaiou of this order, are excluded from its be Nor does the efor of pardon extend to other offen es than desertion nd absence without permission.

GENANAL Low's Ri neat mn will be made, and " in jef, Raxmon og bis orary for Mp Spring campaign with | T tsuall; NEW YORK HERALD, tt received the spocie value of two hundred millions. Can there be any wrong or ice in reducing this indebted. in ness, and bringing it wil the coma of the amare ef the country to pay, and to wide for tts pay! about what ernment reseived for it. If the public debt be reduced to four hundred milliows, and its interest—say four per cent—made payable in specie, the bondholders will be actually benefited, receive more than t paid and the country be relieved of a great burden, which now oppresses all classes and par- alizes the arm of many to contribute to the public de- fonce. All nations have recognized as a legitimate mensure the urbitrary reduction of the public debt. Where the incipal is (rredeemable the interest has been reduced. ‘hus England, in 1718, reduced the interest on of the permanent debt from six to per cent—saving an- 1y £328,500; fm 1727, a further reduction of from five per cent to four per cent—by which the annual charge was diminished £3,360,934, 1748 the four per cents were reduced to three cent. “This was done on the 29th November, 1749, The stockholders |, Were to receive four per cent ‘until 26th December, 1750; from that time till the 25th of December, 1757, they were allowed three anda half per cent, after which time the interest was reduced to three per cent. In the year 1751 several of these stocks were consolidated into one fund, amounting conlecnivaly, to £9,137,821. This was the origin of the present consolidated three per cent annnities, Va- rious other stocks were consolidated at the same period, to the amount of £17,700,324, forming the commence- ment of the present three per cent juced annuities. ”” Again: ‘The new three per cent annuities, originated in 1880 by the conversion of the new four per cents, which hhad been formed in 1822, from the navy five per cents.” The stock created in three and a half per cents in 1830, was, in 1844, reduced to three anda quarter per cen! effecting an annual saving in interest to the amount £621,893. In 1854 the rato of interest was further re- ee igd three percent, and after 1874 may be further luced. We find France, in 1854, reducing her five B od cent rentes into four and a half per cents, by decree of the 14th of March, and diminishing her annual charge 18,000,000 france. In Spain the alterations of the public debt through conversions, changes of an arbitrary or expe- dient character, have affected no less a sum than £216,615,000. In the twenty-three years (1836-1858), Massachusetts paid her colonial debt off at the rate of one for eleven and forty for one. The present price of gold in these States were the rates at which Continental debt was converted. These examples in the history of other nations might be greatly extended, but are referred to now to show that conversion and reduction bear no rela- tion to repudiation. To make what remains after conversion and reduction more valuable than what it was before is no more repudi- ation than the taking of all the cotton, tobacco, &c., is robl ; and if the latter may be taken with propriety for © public defence, so the former may be made with justice for the public credit, The reduction of the debt to $400,000,000, at four ir cent, would remove ocean of figures on ich our finances are now tossed in imminent peril of swamp- ing. These thousands of millions bewilder one, confuse all ideas of enumeration, and do much to destroy our credit, Two thousand millions. Think of it? Who can estimate it? Who can comprehend it?

Two hundred and fifty millions of notes, fundable in four per cent specie paying bonds will furnish that currency. These notes paid out for the cot- ton, tobacco, &c., would give n currency to which gold could never bear the inordinate proportion it gustains to the present currency, because of its being fundable in gpecie paying bonds. The indebtedness the country would then stand four hundred millions four per cent bonds—two hundred and fifty millions of notes exchang- abie for two hundred and y millions of four per cent bonds, or six hundred and fifty millions of four per cent bonds for which the government would hold as redemp- tion fund the cotton, tobacco, &c., of the country—a fund sty able to pay the debt and provide in a great measure for carrying on the war. Taxation then upon the “endless chain” principle, returning to the treasury each quarter the amount demanded for public expenses, would place our finances on a firm and sure footing. Prices in the South Increasing with the Expansion of the Rebel Circulation. ‘rom the Richmond Examiner, Feb. 18.] The new circulation of the has now reached the limit of five hundred millions of dollars. The pletho- ra of money {s not felt to be so great as it was with the old issue, from the fact, pond the aggregate circula- tion of the old was nearly @uble as great; and second, that prices were not more than half so high, It ts quite an anomalous circumstance that, with five hundred mil- lions of dollars in circulation, there should be a scarcity of money at the Treasury, a scarcity of money in the banks and a scarcity of money in all places where it is held in mass. The anomaly, however, is not difficult to explaip, By artificial means and means wholly unneces- sary and uhwarrantable the value of this money has been so depreciated that it requires at least fifty times as much of it to make any and every sort of purchase at presem) as it did of old. The cousequence is that each individual citizen must carry in his pocket fifly times as much money for es Snare be bo Decoetty found weoaisy? "se Unk it tor merly it required a circulation of ten millions of dollars to perform the every day business of the tuhabitants of aspecific area of territory, it now requires just fifty times as much of the present currency, 6r five hundred millions of Confederate notes, to pérform the same func- tons for the same territory. It is very easy to see, therefore, why money is scarcé With a circulation o| five hundred millions outstand ng. It is all in the pock- ets of tue people. ‘The people are obliged to possess grent quantities of it to be able to make purchases at all; and ench individual having a heavy amount on his person, it ts very plain that an aggregate of five hundred millions must be kept in preity active circulation, and has not much time to rest in the strong boxes of bankers or in the vauits of the Treasury. Now, if the Treasury were to go on issuing {ts notes of circulation until the aggregate amount of paper ascended from five Lundred to six, seven, eight, nine or ten hun- dred millions of dollars, the etlect would be to render seventy, eighty, ninety, or a hundred doliars ary to the purchase of what fifty dollars will now id; and the more exaggerated anomaly would be seed, of a circulation amounting to, say a thonsand 2 of dollars being extant, simultaneously with the sof the same scarcity of money in its usual de- posilories, as now prevails, The fact is that the specila’ors of the confederacy have mounted guerd over the Treasury. They put up a new battery around it every day or two, inthe shape of a new broker's shop, and their gans now bear down upon it from every direction. They do not mean that their hoarded goods, wares and merchandise, groceries and specie Shall be depreciated by any c.rculation which the govern ment, in its necese t forth. They elevate the price of their property with each additional issue from the Treasury. They hi got the oxact auge of this of paper money; and though the confederacy muy load itself with hundreds of millions of debt, and the soldier and producer may find their pay looing in value every day, yet their property improves upon the common distress—they prosper as the country bleeds.

REPORT OF THE MAJORITY COMMITTEE OF THE ‘LEGISLATURE. ‘The committee report that they have listened to many statements and arguments submitied in favor of and op- posed to tho bill, and, while many general charges have been made against the members of the New York Fire Department, the committee desire to put upon record their conviction that, although there are undoubtedly some, perhaps many, unworthy members in that depart- ment, yet the majority are men whose connection with the department is prompted by a laudable devotion to the jublic interest, stimulated by that love of adventure and Rearieasness in’ the face of danger which, in any sphere of action, should be accopted as a type of the lofticat he- roism. ‘It cannot be denied, however, that the lastre of its carlier days has been tarnished by a spirit of insubordination and violence which haa too often led to breach of the publjc peacé. ‘This fact has beet conced and it lye been urged by the friends of the system that by a new code of fegulations, adopted within a few weeks, these scenes of disorder and violence will be less frequent, and may perhaps be altogether avoided. ‘Yet it must also in fairness be stated that there is reason to suppose that this reform has been inangurated under the apprehension that any longer delay in instituting it might lead the public to demand unanimously the ndop- tion of such a remedy as is proposed in the bill herewith reported. * * * * * * In regard to a paid department it is claimed that the resent system is one which the city of New York Eas ‘Titera ly outgrown; that the repose of its citizens should not be subject to unnecessary disturbance at all hours of the day and night by the clangor of bells and’ the rush of thousands of excited men, It ie within the recollection of many that the halls of the mansions of the city were encumbered with the fire buckets, which were a necessary adjunct of the fire appa- 2 of the day; but the city long since outgrew the of a resort to these. Hand engives were for y yoars the sole dependence. The introducti the Croton water occasioned great changes in the de- partmont system ; but these chances were gradual, as the mains were extended. Recently a still more important change has been accomplished by the introduction of steain fire engines, which have been long enough in use to secure the confidence of the pubiic in their efficiency ; aud it is this new element that has demonstrated the feasibility of a system which proposes to dispense with larg) ion of the imanual force now employed; and the substitution of horses for traction will aiso contribute to this result. ‘The larger cities of Europe years ago adopted a system sinilar to the one now proposed, and it has been found that a paid system is exceedingly effective at avery small cost, In our own country many cities have experi- mented -with the new system. In Baltimore, with a population of 212,000, the force employed consists only of one hundred and’ fourteen officers and men, seven steam fire engines, two hook and ladder companies, and thirty-four horses. The expense for 18¢4 was $63,000, In Cincinnati, with a population of 161,000, the force for 1863 was one hundred and ifty ive officers and men, with eleven steam fire engine’, (wo hook and ladder, soldier indeed happens to be a slave, we canuot return him to thove who stole him from hie master; but with this exception colored troops are always exchangable.

HIS LIFE IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA, How the Title of Count Was Con- Before Judge Daly. Fes. 16.—George the Count Joannes ve. Horace Gree- ley.—Tho trial of this curious libel suit was com- menced to-day in the presence of a number of actors, theatrical critics and prominent members of the bar. Am@ng those present we noticed Edwin Booth, Manager Stuart, of Winter Garden; John Sefton, of Wallack’s theatre; E. H. House (theatrical critic of the Triteme) and Judge Cardozo, all of whom appeared to take a lively in- terest in the proceedings Mr. Williams appeared as counsel for Horace Greeley, while the Count undertook the management of his owm case, Some little delay was experienced in getting a jury acceptable to the plaintiff, but at length twelve good and lawful men were em- pannelled to try the case. THE COUNT’S OPENING SPEECH, Count Joannes, in opening the case, stated that it was an action for malicious libel, perpetrated by the defendant iu the columns of the Trt by voto 1864. ‘The plaintiff? had been in pute ife for the thirty years. The de- fendant had been a public man for a like period, and, like the plaintiff, had risen from the lowest ranks of society to the proud position he now occupied, by his industry, study and attention to business. On the 25th of April last the plaintiff had a benefit at the Academy of Music. ‘A day or two prior to the benefit the ‘Thbune published the following communication Wo are requested to state that the announcement that Mr. Edwin Booth and Miss Avonia Jones will play for the benefit, of the Count Joannes at the oF iusie te without foundation, and ia a gross attempt at For this false and malicious libel the plaintiff has laid his damages at ten thousand dollars. e defendant, in says that the matter alleged to be libelous is true in substanee and in fact, and prays that the com- pant ney be dismissed, with coste. It was an old say- that the lawyer who tried his own case had a fool for his client. This cage, however, he thought was an excep- tion to the rule, for he had made law his study and spent three years at it, Besides this he had travelled exten- sively in Europe, and by his talents as an author had earned the title of Chevalier, which was covferred upon him by Count Sartaria in London. In a republican country like this the title of Count might not be appre- ciated, but it should not be despised. Should his friend, Professor Morse, who.was dubbed Chevalier by the Em- peror of Russia, be despised by his countrymen because of the honor that was conferred upon him? Certainly not, Then, why should any one sneer at the plaintiff on account of a similar honor conferred upon him? The defendant having admitted the publication of the Hel, there was very little for the plaintiff to prove be- ‘ond producing certain papers. Yes, Mr. Greeley had founded his defence either on the rock of truth or false- hood, and it was for the jury to say which of the t{wo— the plaintiff or the defendant—had perjured themselves. The most SRETSTERS pine in this case was the fact that his daughter, Avonia Jones, was induced to authorize the writing of the libel. ‘A dhughtor induced to libel and elander her own father, ‘ag there anything more abominable in the sight of Heaven. The plaintiff’ imme- diately wrote a letter to the editor of the Tri/une com- plaining of the libel and asking for a correction and an a) logy. ‘The correction ant spelogy came, and the plaindl was content, he being the first man who com- pelled Horace Greeley to make an apology. The next day, however, the plaintiff was astonished to find an article in the Zrizune equally as libelous as the first, and @ note from Miss Avonia Jones stating that it was by her own request that the libelous notice appeared in that newspaper, and that she never gavo her consent to play for the plaintiff's benefit. A note from Edwin to the effect that the statement that he was to appear at the Academy of Music for tho plainwif’s benefit was wholly unauthorized, was alco appended. In reply toa letter from the plaintiff, complaining of the filial impiety of his daughter, the 7 ite then published a letter from Miss Jones, in which she denied that she owed the plaintiff any filial duty whatever; that she had not been under his care since she was threo years old, and had only seen him three or four times sinco he had separated from her mother. In conclusio1 the writer ©: the belief that she ow nothing to her father, but everything to her mother, Mrs, Belinda Jones. ‘The ‘statements contained in this letter were in a great measure false. When Miss Jones came to New York the plaintiff pi to play in Macbeth for her for nothing, and he aided her materially in adapt- {ng some pieces to her peculiar style of acting. He spoke to Mr. Booth, Mr. Wheatley and Miss Jones’ sister about gis up this complimentary benefit at the Academy of lusic, and had every reason to su that Avonia Jones and Edwin Booth would appear, so that there was some foundation for the announcement. In order to show his standing in the theatrical profession he then read aletter from Edwin Forrest asking him toaccept of acom- plimentary benefit at the Metropolitan theatre, Boston, and Bt jing that he should the of Hamlet. Mayor Lincoln, Fletcher Webster, and other well known citizens of Boston, also invited him to give a representa- tion, which was complied with. While in Boston the plaintiff sued Governor Andrew for a debt which he ‘would not pay, even to the present day; and this was the reagon of his having been persecuted {m that city and obliged to come on to New York. The plaintiff then re- ferred to the pecuniary damage inflicted by the alleged libelous announcement in the Tribune. Instead of the Academy of Music being filled with a large and fashion- able audience it was scarcely half illed, and the receipts, instead of being $1,200, dwindled down to less than $600. All this was on account of what in the columns of the Tri‘une, So much for the os, Now, who is the defendant in this case? Is he a low lived wretch? No. Is he a man of no wealth? No. Ia hea man of no social worth? No. Is he a poor man, begging from door to door? No. He is a man 7o})- ing in pacnbe > — “ag? pipes poor miserabie sheet of no importance?

The Henss® hus the revutation in Europe of being the most influential paper in this country, I think the Tribune may be set down as second only to the Benity. Its circulation as stated by the proprietor Limself is from seventy to soventy- five thousand daily, In 1840, Horace Greeley and myself went hand in hand for the election of General Harrison. I have not changed Eo A repcaee faith since, but Horace Greeley has, He has become an apos- tate and has taken up with the dark side of the picture. (Laughter.) It was Horace Greeley who first published that poem commencing with the words— “Tear down that flaunting lie,” and because I threw down the gauntlet to him, and stigmatized the writer of the foul libel as a traitor, he became my enemy. Lhad been attacked in the Sunday Mercury for a space of five years, and when I came to New York I went and had a conversation with the pro- prietors upon the subject. They said they wero convinced that I was a wronged man and pro- mised not to repeat these assaulis upon me. I paid them money for advertising and was on the best terms with them; one of the propric- tors asked me for my carle de visite even, and I gave it to him; what was my astonishment to find that the Mercury subsequently copied a gross libel from the Leader and gave a woodcut of Count Joannes, taken from this very identical photograph of mine which I had presented ‘them with a few weeks previously. You all know what it is to have tho enmity of Horaco Gree- ley. It was he who called my friend General McClellan @ coward, and had used his influence to defeat his elec- tion, TESTIMONY OF THE COUNT. Count Joannes then took the stand and testified in his own behalf ns follows:—The documents which I hold in my hand are the original invitations extended to me by Edwin Forrest and Mayor Tieman, of ths city, and Mayor Lincoln and others, of Boston, to appear on the stage in the character of Hamlet; the copy of the Triinme L hold in my hand is the one which contains the libel; I bought it myself; I commenced life as an actor in 1815, in Boston, under the patronage of my friend Macready; Ihave performed in London, at the Drury Lane theatre, also in Paris, where Prince Napoleon (who ‘was my guest whil xile in this country), was one of my best patrons, I have given uj-wards of one hundred representations of Hamlet, and have played in Macbeth n the | 1 ¢& | tvered a tecture 61 and various other plays of Shaksphere; I studied law fome twenty-five years ago, und devoted three years to the profession; I practiced a good peal in Uoston, where my retaining fee was fixed by the rts at one hundred dollars. I was very successful there. Indeed, when it was known that the Count Joannes was cnguged in a soit, the other side generally came forward and wanted to settle, (Laughter.) In reference to my | literary talents T would say that I commenced to write at the are Of sixteen yoars; that I wrote the life of General reson; also delivered an oration on Shi j studied aren vecture with my friend Davis; wrote the criticisms for the National Academy, which my friend Professor | Mores said were the best things of the kind that ever appeared on this side of the Atlantic, I took despatches for Daniel Webster to the court of England; was duced t all the royal families on the contin received the honor of knighthood from Count farteca for public services rendered him in London.
