The preamable resolution! were then agreed tu. The Richmond Knqnirct and Ceufed erate Officers. The Enquirer jay?: "Napoleon never permit ted any oue of the officers who participated ir the capitulation of Baylen to rerve nuder him. and even tba Austrians condemned Mack to death for the surrender of Ulm ; and yi t neither ot theso surrenders was more disgraceful than tunny Cf ours, whieh hare not called eran for an ctbcu?! reprimand. This indiscriminate denunciation of Confed ?rale officers is badly in keeping with the charac ter of a dignified, high-toned press ; it is injuriom to the canso whieh it professes to maintain ; sad above all, it is eontrary to the truth of history. " Neither of these surrenders, says the Enquirer, was more disgraceful than many of ours." Wi should have been glad if the inquirir bad thoughi the character of our officers of sufficient impor tance to discriminate and point ?.Ut- ?hieb Vf ('Ul surrenders wa? ai disgraceful as Baylen or Ulm But since lt deals in generalities, wo will take Usu? with it upon that statement, and wo deny tha any one surrender of our army wai as disgraoo ful os that of Baylen. We exclude from ?bi discussion the surrender of Cumberland Gap b; Gen. Prarie;, al the *ect* hare not yet bo*n mad* public. Wo Accept the other ten eusesegivon, nm we undertake to show that non? of thom was a disgr.-.eefnl as tho aorroudcr of Gon. Dupont a Baylen ; and for this r.pinion Wo appeal to a sim pie statement of facts. When Dupont surrendered to Casta?os at Bay len, more than eighteen thousand French soldier -who for fit teen years, bad been tbe terror c Europe-laid down their arms be foro a raw artuj incapable of resisting balf that pumber led b, tn able man. Th* entire Spanish anny und? Keding, and tb* only oorps eng.igod with Du pun oom'-sted of only twenty ih..u.-?i.d uudiscipline troops-taw militia-including a multitude t peasant. Tbe two armies were equal in point c number. Dupont commnnded tho veteram c Napoloon ; Reding commanded raw troop?, moi -.f whim had. never, been under fire, Ai_d jc after a weak nnd cowardly defence, Dupont ?uj renderod, ai prissnors of war, IS,600 of Nupol? ou's veterans. Again, Dupont's own officci ch urged him with havit g surrendered to save tb iuim-nse plunder bo had stolen und nos Ukiu out of Spain. Hcie isaFrenrh General guilt b?tb of cowardice apd treason ; nrjd yet thu E nnirer tells us that this turrunJcr vas not mor Jirgraciful (han u,ar.y of ours. Will the fiitONi rer narnu out field uu which tho Confederate tia A on lo M crea uuder circumstances us du?racefv *. those ol Baylor.? Whero is the Conf?d?ral G-nen! publicly charged with cowardice au ti o?f on ? Lit us have bi? name. If the Euqui rer knowua any iuch < ase, we trope il will pubiiti il to the world. Justice icquirca that such char gil should be specific. Thc character ol Cooled erato officers is of too tench TA.nc, both to th Country and to li.ouueli cs, io he ?.ported wiib ii this loose and reckless manner. 1' is a hard faio ttiat r>r*ve men fighting in do fence of their country, should bc held up to scon and derision, because, hy the chances of war the, have b'cn torced to surrender to the enemy. Tb statement made hy tho Enquirer could be war rantvd ouly np-II tbe finding ol' a Court Martial nod not upon loose newspaper rumors. The En a mirer owe? it to itsclt as well as to tbe publis to make Kood i! is grave charge agaiust Cooled erato officers. Again : The Enquirer rpenk3 contemp'uouslj of the defence ut Vicksburg and Port Hudson and wishes to know where are our Snrago.aa une (jerona; Such language does not ?ousd weil ii a Cuufedrrate newspaper; it does not fall pitas antly, we are eure, upon the ear of a maa *ib< lins .S'oai/ieni Hood iu his veins. When ibo siegt of Saragossa is properly understood, we are no: q lite sure that the famed city of the Ebro d .-survei any mire glory ih-n cities upon tho Mississippi Saragossa and Vick, burg wore bath besieged, anil they both surrendered. Marshal Lannes I ?siegee Saragossa with an army uf thirty-five thousand men : tho garrison consisted ot titty thousand Spauiards. Gen. Grant had aa army of srventy thou.und, While tho garrison of Vicksburg con sisted of less than thirty thousand. The delenc? of Vicksburg then .iras much store difficult than that et Saragossa ; and as they beth surrendered what was tho different e? !? will be said that.th? defence vf the latter was mure obsiiuate and more glorious. Ibat thura wai a greater saurifioe of life in ibo Spanish town thau iu tba Confederate, is a matter of history; but that the Spanish sol dier displayed m ?re fortitude ur courage than the Confederate, wa utterly dcuy. Nu'une familiar with the Peninsular war, will horiuie lo aUaiit to ?I ttio CuUloderato aol ill cr is tupe rio r lo the Spanish, indeed the Spanish army is admitted tu be the Wurst iu Europe, lt mny be replied that this ccusure was.not intended for our notifiers, but for ?ur officeis. Wo are equally rea'iy lor that issue. . lien. Pemhortou II no favorite of ours, but we will do him, or any other unfortun ate man, justice, and we aro willing to eompa.a him with Palafox the hero of Saragossa. " Pala fox, nays Napier, was ody the nominal chief of Saragossa ; ibo laurels gathered in both seigei should adorn plebeian brows-For more than a month preceding the surrender, bo never came ferih ef a vaulted building which vat imperviom to theil*, and in which, there is too much reason to believe, be, and others of both sexes, lived in a I state of sensuality, forming a disgusting contrast I to the wretchodrese that surrounded them." We j believe thiit tien. Peinbcrlon hos no cause to .brink fr.in a comparison wi h (his hero of Siira gossa. If there were more lives lost at Saragtssg* than at Vicksburg, it was because tho former Was less scicntificirlly defended. And Dually, Vick?, burg did not surrender to the superior prowess of the enemy, hot b? fho imperious demands of famine. If Gen. Pcm borton had bad tho adran, tages belonging to Pulafox, it is quite certain that Vick-burg would never baro fallen. What! a garrison of fifty thousand Confederate soldiers surrender to a Yankee army of thirty-fire thou, saud ? Tb? idea is simply preposterous. And yet wo ure told that to Saragossa belsngi the gio* < rr, to Vitk'nurtf tbe tharne. Fuch it the justice of human judgment; s'ioh the Yaluc nf hun.cn fj-mc. . \ But the nw t oxtrtu rdicnryi iiofonstit o' the E-ou'i-er is thc following: " The V.i t r.v rf t?i?* war wi'l exhibit mure surrenders than crer lf/el the finns nf my other nation-during thc same *perit?d of time.

Thus tho Enquirer bas evidently miniated tho truth nf his'ory in aaaerfing that tho Confederate flag baa noun oftener disgTnersl in tho sanio lepptb of timo than that of any other nation. Further, it will bo obacrvod that tho Spanish towna whioh surrendered wore not insignificant outposts, as waa the crae wit? many of oura, without tutti-?em means of defence, garriaoned with raw militia, and without the possibility ef being reinforced, but many of thom were walled towns, and Bom?, the strongest Fortrei?es. in Europe. We regard the character. of tho Confederate Ariny as embodying and representing the charac ter of our country; and as conductor of apu'-lic journal, we should regard ourselves derelict to our du.y if we ?utfered'the comments of tho En quirer upon that Army to peats without notice.

Producers and l'rolr.onions. Mi?. EMTOH : One ?.f tho most reinarkaHe ni tho peculiarities developed by tho present war is the moral mania at pr?sent prevailing among thc peuple, that every uiie is, in his own o: inion, doing right, bul bis uciahbor ia doing wr.ng. 'iLis mauia is exhibiud in tao transaetiuna between thu Producer aud tho Professions, or to ex tu nd tbe idsa, between the producer ana tbe consumer.
