The thermometer VMUMTW, March 10. Borne time during the last political canvass a paragraph was published ia which it was said that Gen. Garfield had, during the war, pre­ ferred charges of a serious character against his old oommandar, Gen. Rosecnuns. Charles A. Dana made the original charge. This brought out a note from Gen, Garfield to Rose- orane, in which he distinctly said that he had never been untrue to his commander in word or thought, "Dana or any other liar to the contrary." Mr. Dana, to sustain his original statement, has printed a confidential letter from Gen, Garfield addressed to Salmon P. Chase, during the war. Gen. Rosecrana declines at present to say anything about the matter. He is taking steps to ascer­ tain whether or not the letter is genuine. The letter in printed in fall below. It is marked "Confidential," and dated " Headquarters De­ partments the Onmberiaad, Nashvilia, 17,1863:* Mr DBAB OOTEBKOR ; I have for a long time wanted to write to you, not only to acknowledge your last kind let ter, but also to say some things confidentially on the movements in this depart­ ment ; but I have refrained hitherto, lest I do injustice to a good man, and say to yon things which were better left; unsaid. We have now, however, reached a point upon which I feel it proper, and also due to that kind opinion which I"believe yon have had of me, to acquaint you with the condition of affaire hera. I can not conceal from you the fact that I have been greatly tried and dissatisfied with the slow progress that we have made in this depart­ ment since the battle of Stone River. I will say in the outset that it would bo in the highest de­ gree nnjvft to say that the 162 days which elapsed between the battle of Stone River and the next advance of this army were spent in idleness or trifling. During that period was performed the enormous and highly important labor which made the Army of the Cumberland what it is, in many respects by far the beat the country has ever known. But for many weeks prior to our late move­ ment I could not but feel that there was not that live and earnest determination to fling the great weight of this army into the scale ana mnkt: its power felt in crashing the shell of the Rebellion. I have no words to tell yon with how restive and nnnatisiled a spnit I waited and' pleaded for striking a sturdy blow. I could not justly say we were in any proper condition to advance till the early days of May.' At that time tbe strings began to draw sharply upon the rebel*, botn on tne Mississippi and in the East. They began to fear for the safety of Vickshnrg, and before the middle of May they began quietly to draw away forces to aid Pem- berton. I plead for an advance, but not till June began did Gen. Rosecrans begin seriously to meditate an immediate movement. The army had grown anxious with the exception of its leading Generals, who seemed blind to the advantages of the hour. In th# first week of thu month ft council of war was called, and, out of eighteen Generals whose opinion was asked, seventeen were opposed to an ad­ vance. I was the only one who urged upon the General the imperative necessity or striking a blow at onoe, while Bragg was weaker and we stronger than ever before. I wrote a careful review of the opinions of the Generals, and exhibited the fact, gathered from ample data, that we could throw 65,000 bayonets and sabers against Bragg's 11,000, allowing the most liberal estimates of his foroa. This paper was drawn up on the 8th of June. After its presentation, and a full canvassing of the situation, an advance was agreed upon, but it was delayed, through days which seemed months to me, till the 24th, when it was begun mid ended with what re­ sults you know. The wisdom of the movement was not only vindicated, but the seventeen dis­ senting Generals were compelled to confess that, if the movement had beon made ten days earlier, v.hiic the weather was propitious, the army of Bragg would, in all human proba­ bility, no longer exist. 1 shall never cease to regret the sad delay which lost us so great an opportunity to inflict a mortal blow upon the center of the Rebellion. The work of expelling Bragg from Middle Tennessee occupied nine days and ended July 3, leaving his troops in a most disheartened and demoralized condition, while our army, with a loss of le*s than 1,000 men, was, in a few days, fuller of potential fight than ever before.

THE JEANNETTE SURYIT0R8. Istonstlsf Letter Irons Lieut* Daa- enhower. Mr. W. W. Danenhower, of Washington, has received two letters from his son, Lieut John Danenhower, of the Jeannette Arctic ex­ ploring expedition. The first one is dated Bulen, month of the Lena, Nov. 9, 1881. There is added a postscript dated at Yskoutsk, Deo. 17. The trip up the river from Bulen to Yatoutkk occupied thirty-six days, and was made on sledges with dogs, reindeer and horses. Lieut. Danenhower describes tne journey as one full of hardships. There were stations at intervals on the way, constructed of logs. He describes the last one of these, seventeen miles from Yakoutsk, the best of the lot, a* a small log building with a cowshed attached. It was com­ posed of one room, in which were about twenty people when his party arrived. In the center was the body of a horse killed for food, and brought into the room to thaw out. During the night the party stopped at this hut Jack Cole, the boats •vain, while laboring under aberration of mind, got up and started out to walk to New and the cars were in full the Cumberland to the Tennessee. I have since then urged with all the earnestness I possess a rapid advance, while Bragg's army was shat­ tered and under cover, and before Johnston and be could effect a junction. Thus far the General has been singularly disinclined to grasp the situation with a strong hand and make the advantage his own. I write this with more sor­ row than I can tell you, for I love every bone in his body, and next to my desire to see the Rebellion blasted is my anxiety to see htm blessed. But even the breadth of my love is not sufficient to cover this almost fatal delay. Mv personal relations with Gen. Rosecrans are all that 1 could desire. Officially, I share his counsels and responsibilities even more than I desire, but I beg you to know that this delay is against my judgment and my every wish. Pleasant as are my relations here, I would rath­ er command a battalion that would follow and follow and strike and strike than to hang back while such golden moments are passing. But the General and'myself believe that £ can do more service in my present place than in command of s division, though I am aware that it it a position that promises better in the way of promotion or popular credit. Bnt, if this inaction continues loug, I shall ask to be relieved and sent somewhere where I can be part of a working army. But I do hope that you will soon hear that this splendid army is at least trying to do its part in the great work. If the War Department has not always been Just, it has certainly been very indulgent to this army. But I feel that the time has now oome when it should allow no plea to keep this army back from the i*iO»t- vigorous activity. I do hope that no hopes of peace or submis­ sive terms on the part of the rebels will lead the Government to delay the draft and the vigorous vrovtcutiou of the war. Timeo Danooa el dona fervnivs. Let the nation now display tbe majesty of its power and the work will be speedily ended. 1 hope you will pardon this lengthy letter; feat I wanted you to know how the case stands, and I was unwilling to have you think me satis­ fied with the delays here.

It takes one member away from Maine, one from New Hamp­ shire, and one from Vermont, and in­ creases the Representatives in Arkansas from 4 to S; in California from 4 to Si in Georgia from 9 to 10 ; in Illinois from 19 to 20 ; in Iowa from 9 to 11; in Kansas from S to 7 ; in Massachusetts from 11 to 12 ; inMich- j igan from 10 to 11; in Minnesota from 3 to 5 ; j in Mississippi from 6 to 7 : in Missouri from 13 i to 14 ; in New York from 33 to 34 ; in* Norfh i Carolina Iropi 8 to 9; in Ohio from 20 to 21; in ' Pennsylvania from 27 to 28; in Soutd Caroliua from 5 to 7 ; in Texas from 6 to 11; in Virginia from ft to 10 ; in West Virginia from 3 to 4, and in Wisconsin from 8 to 9.

He immediately took to wing, and as he flew on ahead of me I observed a long, pendent object dangling from his body. The incumbrance proved t*x> great an obstacle for^continuous flight, and he soon dropped again upon the path a rod or so in advance of me. I overtook him, and on a close inspection discovered a plucky black ant clutching tightly with its captive, while with its two hiud legs it clung desperately to a long cluster of pine needles which it carried as a dead weight. No sooner did the hornet touch the ground than the ant began to tdg and yell for kelp. There were .certainly evidences to warrant such a belief, for a second ant immediately appeared upon the scene, emerging hurriedly from a thicket of pine tree moss. He was too lat£, however, for the hornet again sought escape in flight.

Only a yard or so was covered in this flight; and as the ant still yelled for re-iuforcetiionts, its companion again appeared, and rushed upon the oommon foe with such lurious zeal that I felt like patting him on the back. -The whole significance of the scene he had taken in at a glance, and in an instant lie had taken a viselik grip upon the other hind-leg. "N.w came the final tug Of wftr. T'le 'hornet tried to rise, but this sccojjld p is^er ger was too much for him; be could only buzz along the gtouiid, drag ing his load after him, while his new assailau clutched desperately at everything with in its reach -now a dried l^at, now a tin stone, and even overturning an acorn cup in its grasp. Finally, a small, rough stick the niz ) of a mat oh was secured, and th' proved to be the "last straw." In vim were the struggle of escape. The h'» net could do no more thun lift his bod,T from the ground. He rolled and kicked and tumbled, but to no jiropose, except to make it very lively for hie cap­ tors; and the thrusts of that lively dag­ ger were wasted on the tletiert air, for whether or not those ants knew its aeareliint? propensities*, they certainly managed to keep clear of this busy ex­ tremity. How long this pell-mell battle would have lasted I know not, for a third ant now appeared, and it was astonishing to seo him; with every movement of the hornet, he in turn would lay hold of a third stick, and at the same time, clntoh apon those pine needles to add their impediment to the burden of his own bony. $ Practically the ants had won the vic­ tory, but what they intended to do with the floundering elephant in their hands seemed a problem. But it was to them only a question of patience. They had now pinned their victim securely, and held him to await assistance; it came. The entire neighborhood had been ap­ prised of the battle, and in less than five minutes the ground swarmed with an, army of re-enforcements. They earner from all directions; they pitched upon that hornet with terrible ferocity, and his complete destruction was now only a question of a very few moments. ACCOUNTS of the floods along the Lower Mis­ sissippi country grow gloomier as ihe days go by. Whole towns have been swept sway by the angry waters, plantations destroyed and im­ mense stretches of fertile country m Arkansas and . Mississippi inundated. The destruc­ tion of property has been appall­ ing, and famirn threatens the uuformuate vic­ tims of the overflow. A dispatch from River- tou, Mis-t., says that when the current struck that town it was impossible to pull a boat through, and the people took shelter upon the housetops and upon floating picces of fences, sides of buildings, etc. It was about an hou r before Rosedale was flooded, and the people there had time to save some of their clothing and the most valuable of their light personal property. As soon as possible tbe ladies and children were removed to the Wharf-boat at Terrene, where a temporary •nelter was found, the men staying by their property and homos, seeing all they possessed swept away by the torrent of angry waters. The colored people fared the worst, and many werd lost in the immediate vicinity of fiiverton. H011. L. H. Mangum, of Arkansas, in an interview with an Associated Press reporter at Memphis, said that in the counties of Mississippi, Crittenden, ljee, Pom- sett, Cross, Craighead, St. Francis, Phillips, Desha, Chicot and Monroe, in Arkansas, he had information of about 20,000 destitute peo­ ple, who would have to be Tea by the Oovern- ment for at leaist forty days.

Senator Garland says the cities and towns of the Statu are responding liberally; but they are burdened by refugees from flooded districts. He also says the present distress is only begin­ ning.

Hundreds of poor colored people have been rendered houseless by'tho water, losing everything, and have positively nothing to eat The white people are poorly off them­ selves, nearly all of their stocs being lost, and being nearly impoverished owing to the bad crops or last year. The to%n of Austin, Miss., between Memphis and Helens, has been almost entirely destroyed. Hots. M. C. Harris, who was sent to Desha county. Ark., by Gov.

Scarcely a farm-house or residence in the bot­ tom has escaped inundation. Tbe people have been compelled to build false floors in their houses or seek safety on some I of the higher lands, where, in rudely constructed camps of brush boughs and cane, tbey sit- and wait for starvation and death. It is appalling, and without GovernB$sat aid, liberally and quickly hastened, there is no telling where it will end. Many person* have been feeding on carcasses of drowned cattle. Personal investigation, as well as assurances from reputable gentlemen, oon- vincedl Mr. Harris that not less than 600 families, averaging say six to the family, in Desha county alone, are dependent upon the charity of the Government The indications poiut to a long continuance of the overflow, the most sanguine hardly dar­ ing to hope for its subsiding before May.

It is not low, it is the highest duty, privilege and pleas­ ure for the great man and liigh-souled woman to earn what they possess, to work their own way through life, to bo the architects of their own fortunes. Some may rank the classes we have alluded to as only relatively low. and, in fact, the middling classes. We insist they are absolutely the very highest.
