Gsawal Sickles ?ad thc National Intelli? gencer. Some days since the National Intelligencer pub? lished a very severe attack upon General SICKLES, The following communication in ana wer w as written by one of the worthy, respectable and learned gentlemen of this State, and published in the In? telligencer of the 11th : To the Editors of the National Intelligencer. In the National Intelligencer of the 20th April, nuder the title of " Reconstruction-Th9 rower of Congress," is a seeming criticism of-but a bitter attack, in fact, upon-the action and motive of the General Commanding in the Second Military Dis? trict, which merits reply, not less for justice to the officer who is arraigned, than Deoause of the ten? dency it may have to mislead. The Orders No. 10 which have been published by General Sickles, furnish the text for the commentaries which are made in the National Intelligencer, and the re? marks condemnatory of these orders, require a plain and distinct contradiction of much, if not all, that has been stated. In the first place, it is well that it should be un? derstood that the States of North and South Caro? lina are no parties to the issue which has been presented to tue Supreme Court, and m which the authority of that tribunal has been invoked to de ? feat the pla i of reconstruction adopted by the Congress of the United States for the ten seceding States. It is behoved that the Governors of both States have refused to unite in or be concerned in that issue, and have used, as they are still using, , their authority and influence to accomplish the restoration of these States according to the re? quirements of the act of Congress. , . .In the next place, it is well also that it should be ......understood that between the Commanding General of this military department and the Governors of ? the two States of which it is composed, there is ac 7* cord in sentiment and concert in purpose. And ? ; surely no more perfect and gratifying evidence of ,"' this can be found than in the conference between them which has recently taken place. In that cou . ference everything tended to confirm the respect and strengthen the confidenco they mutually en? tertained. . ' . lt is proper also that it should be well under? stood tnat the circumstances which rendered necessary the Orders No. 10 were of the gravest .. kind-a population in the midst of which was .' starvation, and added to the horrors of which was the aggravation of a severe enforcement of tho remedies of the creditor; so severe that it had al? ready affected the sense of private obligation, and : - wis rapidly tending to a disturbance, if not the overthrow, of public order. ' JJ, is proper also that it should bo weU under - ?feood 'that thia' condition of the people of the ' Stat? waa not exceptional; that it was not' the ex? aggerated appr?hension of a few, but a terrible truth as totne general condition of the pallia? tion, the existence and intensity of which was so positively and clearly produced before the Com? manding General that he could not reject the evi? dence, and receiving the evidence, to have pos? sessed the power by which it could be relieved and withhold its exercise he would have done violence - to every suggestion of humanity, and been untrue ' to the duty with which he was charged-the high? es ^ of public duties, lo save, and not to destroy, the people for whose government ho had been se 1 beted. It is proper, also, that it should be well under? stood that by the constituted authorities, aud by ; the people of these States, the orders which are challenged as an act of wrong and oppression have .' been accepted as measures stamped with benevo? lence and saving a people from intense suffering. . And this is abundantly shown in the marked approv? al which has been given to these orders by those who are' in authority in these States, by the lan of the press in these States, and still more 'ly by the proceedings in all the primary ws of the people which have yet been held. . ? It is proper, also, that it should be understood that this manifestation of the temper and purpose r. :, with which an dior which the great po wer gi ven to V"' the Commanding General has been exercised has secured for the measures proposed by the Congress fox-the restoration of these States a prompt and ready acquiescence and support, which, under tho .circumstances, might have been delayed; and that when, under the influence of such orders, res to ra? tion, is accomplished; not only in words, but in fact; when. by the exercise of the power of the Com? manding General, tho past becomes forgotten, and haia able to say to the people of the United States : These two States are now nt to be roe to red-most - happily restored, when all alienation is now re? moved-and the people of these States ajcept the .. measures of Congress as the tests by which they ere to be "tried in their fitness for restoration, and .i to that telt the people have submitted ; sud in so ".'...* doing have proved their fitness ; the Commanding . General will have done to his whole country a sor Woe than which none could be more honorable. The good and wise men within the limits of this departo ont fully appreciate tho labors and diffi? culties of his position ; and the good and wise within tile same limita will give all the aid they can to accomplish what they BO muoh require what be so much desires. It may do for those ' who are at a distance and at ease tb criticise the , . degree of heroism which they are not obliged t> - illustrate, and speculate upon the performance of duties for which they are not responsible ; but when the administrator of the highest public trust Is conscious t ) Mapaalt of the rectitude of his pur '" pose, and the people affected by its exercise are not only satisfied, but thankful for and approve that exercise of power as merciful and just, it . would seem, at best, but a -very gratuitous and quixotic benevolence to find cause for sorrow in (hat which cives peace to the land, protection to -persons, aha security for property. 'If we como now to tho special criticisms which have been so beek/ indulged in concerning the , phraseology of the orders, and the uncertainty which is pretended as to the meaning and intent of the several sections of the orders, we are not left long in doubt as to the matter ; that the inter? pretation of statutes and ordinances is not the . - - moat fcjpjBar Of the pursuits of the writer whose .' essay is before us, and that his attempt to expose ii' the defects of another have only tended to the more perfect development of his own inaccuracies. Hen tue writer in the National Intelligencer been familiar with the reading of the statutes, as rand, parcel of which these orders are be considered, he, perhaps, would have found, that the language used in these orders is that which older lawyers than are now in existence employed for the purpose of expressing the same thing to which General Sickles has re? ferred. Moreover, if the study of these same law? yers can be commended to the writer in the Intel? ligencer, he may then discover that Genoral Sickles, before he became a soldier, had been a trained and educated laywer, and that in his case the learning of the courts had been too deeply and thoroughly impressed to be effaced or affected by . those servi ces m the field which are too conspicu? ous to be referred to by those who have read the history of this country in the events of the last ?v? or six years, and in the services of those who ju that memorable period have so well earned the gratitude of their countrymen. The desire, ? however, to be censorious, has, not only in tho matter now referred to, induced a criticism which certainly has not tended to expose the ina .'curacies of General Sickles, however much it may have es? tablished that of the writer; but tho same temper and the like Ul success have been manifested in : ? that portion of these orders which relates to ac? tion brought upon contracts for the purchase of negroes, and suspended the prosecution of them. It would not be unreasonable if it were practicable to enquire whether the critical writer of this arti ole has a personal interest in any such contract' If there is no private feeling in the matter, with what does he find fault? Is it thc language of tho order? If so, it may give him comfort to know that the highest court in the State of South Carolina has very sufficiently understood this order, precisely in toe same sense in which General Sickles intend? ed, and in the same sense in which every one ui the State and out of it also, excepting the writer in the Intelligencer, has accepted it. Doos tho writer of the article in the Intelligencer question the policy of suspending a decision in these cases un ?il there shall be a judiciary created under tho new political organization of the State, according to the requirements of Congress ? Does ho intend to urge with hot haste the consideration of a ques? tion which involves in its final determination a great variety of circumstances growing out of "a number of cases, and to the final decisiou of which ere to be applied rules of public law which havo not been generally discussed in these United States, and in relation to which, if a dis? cussion of the like questions havo been had in the coartB of Great Britain, few who have studied these decisions wiU not admit that they leave the real question in these .cases not conclu? sively presented, and Tar from conclusively settled? If there is any one question concerning which, by common consent, all parties have acquiesced in the propriety of suspending for tho present thc judical consideration of it, it ie that which General Sickles has thus suspended. It may bo a matter .cf great doubt whether, if the order of General Bickies had not been made, the courts would not have fet it proper to postpone of their own motion the consideration of such cases. It is, however, a nutter of no doubt that thc corni? and tho people well understood what the orders meant, for they could not misunderstand it, and that these orders have been accepted as a measure of relief, timely applied and judiciously devised. Tue last specific exception which is made to these orders is the criticism expended upon that portion of them which enforces the acts of Con? gress in relation to the currency of the United ?Utos. Had the writer in the Intelligencer been less hurried in the expression of his censure he would have seen, upon a careful reading of tho orders, that General Sickles plainly required, and only directed, that whatever Congress had de? clared to be a legal tender should be accepted by the States tn the military department over which he waa placed. Had-the writer in the Intelligencer been con? cerned to inquire under what ?circumstances this ? portion of the orders was made, he would have learned that in some parts of the State one or more of tho local judges had decided that nothing but gold and silver could bo a te udor in tho pay? ment >f contracts; that Bitch a decisiou had pro? duced croat apprehension and alarm, becauao the enforceineiit of it would result in tho aggravation of their distress, which, without it, was almost overwhelming; that it was not only, therefore, the condition of the State-hi which overv local bank had suspended specie payments, and therefore go d aud silver could only be procured at rates which greatly increased tho original indebtedness-but it was a positivo enactment of thc Congress of tho United States which had been drawn in question Tho people of the State, it may well be supposed, would be as little inclined to accept the mistaken benevolence of an advocate who would iusist, in their ruined and impoverished condition, upon their discharge of their obligation with au nadi t.on of more than thirty per cent., because of thc d miami for gold, aa would Geuoral Sickles to adopt tho advioo of oue who would have him ig? nore tho laws of tho Cougicss of tho United States, and set the exorn?le to others of obedience to the laws, hy his own disregard for and violation of them. Iliac these ordere could have been construed into an enforcement of this mode of payment in cases where Congress had specially provided for payment in gold or silver could only De tho work of' one who either would not read that ho might understand, or would not understand, however he might read. And a very 6light knowledge of the lirst canons of construction, and a little care in the reading of that which he was about to c m s true, would have shown him that all of tho powers which were exercised, and all of the provisions which wore made in these orders, were, in tho words of the orders, subordinated, as they should have been, to the laws of Congress. In the conclusion of his article tho writer in thc Intelligencer very plainly exposes, as indeed he had indicated in hm opening, some personal pique or private and personal wrong, which provoked him to the crude attack he attempted. General Sickles can afford to wait with patience until the conventions shall assemble in these States ; and it may then appear that tue members of these Dodies will, by their consideration of the several modifications which have been made in the exist? ing laws-modifications rendered at once neces? sary by the peculiar condition of the people of these States, and at the same time in perfect con? sistency with the progressive legislation of all civilized nations-pronounce an opinion as to their excellence different from that which the writer in the Intelligencer has, with temper not to be mis? taken, undertaken to adjudge. Ic the meanwh?e, there are these points of dif? ference betweeu General Sickles and the writer in the Intelligencer, which, in the consideration of the conduct of tho one and the attack of the other, may not be overlooked. General Sickles has established beyond cavil his devotion to his whole country, his unwavering purpose to perpetuate the institutions which were established when the States became a nation. Will the writer in the Intelligencer compare bis record with that which General Sickles has placed with the archives of his country ? General Sickies has, with a purity of purpose which is everywhere ac? knowledged, for nearly two years, discharged his duties m and over the people whose conduct he was sent to control, with a moderation, firmness, and impartial justice which has commandod the approval of alL Will tho writer in the Intelligencer compare any service ho has rendered with this which General Sickles has performed? General Sickles has faithfully and firmly executed aid en? forced the laws of the United States, and a as se? cured that wining obedience to the Government of tito United States under the influence of which these states in his military department have conformed to bis advice, and yielded acquiescence to tho ,ro quirements of Congress as preliminary to their restoration. At this time, under his administra? tion, the most difficult political problem which has ever been presented is undergoing a peaceful, happy solution; and everything justifies the ex? pectation of tho successful accomplishment of what the good and wi JO ot tho land desire. WUl the writer of the Intelligencer compare his mo? tives, actions, or expected results with these, whicn are presented by General Sickles ? General Sickles has, by his temperate exercise of tho great powers which he possesses, reconciled the people of these States to the measures of Con? gress, against which so much has been said for the purpo-e of exciting thom to opposition, and will res tore the people of those States to the peo? ple of the other States, in that temper and under such feelings as will enable him to say they are ? not in name only, but in fact-not with the month, but with the heart also-a part of tho peo plo of tho United States. Will the writer in the Intelli? gencer say what he will do, or what he will attempt to do, like this ? With such motives as influence him, with such J conduct as has illustrated such motives, with such purposes to accomplish as are anticipated results ot his conduct, Gene, al Sickles has little to appre? hend from the carping criticism of those who aro ' alike incapable of appreciating the difficulties and responsibilities of fiis position, or the motives or the measures which he cherishes and desires for the restoration of these States, and the reconstruc? tion of that Union for the perpetuation of which he has perilled his life, ana in the defence of which his mutilated body will be an eloquent and enduring record to ohallenge tho respect and con? fidence of all brave men, and of all good men, in the length and breadth of our land. JUSTICE. The Exhibition-\ upo leon and Talma I Garabaldi end the Romani-Fashions, etc. [Extract*from Pari* Cor. London Telegraph.] The Exhibition is now our bete noire. It is keeping people away from Paris; and if the hotel keepers and their confreres do not take care, they will find, that they w'iU haVe,to depend on pro? vincials for the great fortunes which they expect to realize. You sec, the British exhibitor may pay20f. for his bed lor ono night, but he will-bo extremely apt to return to the suburbs of London as soon as he can, and forget to return to Paris with Mrs. Exhibitor, five children and (rots do? mestiques. No, he will wisely stay at Bayswater. Prices are already awful. I think it is hard that because the Emperor of tbe French bas a great international show his subjects should charge in? nocent residents 50 per cent increase for every? thing. Wo are seriously thinking of taking to our beds-slight food would suffice us. We should save our clothes, and Mr. Poole would kindly look on us towards summer-our boots, so that the in? spired one Who provides for our understandings would get a holiday-and Mr. Melton would have the weight taken off his head of haring to cover ours, iou laugh at us! How would you like it if ] every morning when your valet called you he told you that everything was 25 per cent dearer than Ssterday, and I declare that such is the case. And e terrible part of the incident is that this is a mere matter of precaution on account of the worthy people of Paris, for nobody worth speaking about has yet arrived. There are Americans here by hundreds, but real? ly I do not think I have ever known so few English in Paris. The Parisians bear.that privation pret? ty well, and for the moment only raise the price of | everything forty par cent. It is a trifle for us payers, and of course is satisfactory to the re? cipients. Do you know that seriously, we are duller this week than we have been for years ? I do not like the tone of tbe general public. The state of poli? tics, as I have said, ia queer. The Exhibition does not help, but hinders. Look, too, at society.; Why. I do not think we have ten invitations for the next week. Voila! "Can such things be" and not overcome us ? Seeing bow dull we are to-dayl as regards things of to-day, I think I may safely give you an original letter, written by the founder af the Napoleonic dynasty to Talma. Napoleon I, long before he was Napoleon the First, wrote from Toulon to the great actor of his day. Mon cmer Talma-I have fought like a lion for the Republic. Eut, my good friend Talma, as my reward I am left to die with hunger. I am at the end of all my resources. That miserable fellow Aubry (then Minister of War) leaves me in the mire when he might do something foi- me. I feel that I have the power of doing more than Generals San tone and Rossignot, and yet they cannot find a corner for me in La Yendee or elsewhere, to give me employment. You are happy : your reputation depends upon yourself alone. Two hours passed on the boards Bring you before the public, whence all glory emanates. But fortis soldiers, wo aie forcod to pay dearly for fume upon an extensive s tage, and, after all, we are not alio we d to attain it. Therefore do not regret the path you have chosen. P.ema.n upon your theatre. Who knows if 1 shall ever appear again upon mine. I have seen Mauvel (a distinguished comedian); hois atnie friend. Barros, President ot the Directory, makes fine promise1*; but will he keep them ? I doubt it. In the meantime I am redused to my last sous. Have you a few crowns to spare me ? I will not refuse them, and promise to repay you out of tho first kingdom I win by my sword. How happy were tho heroes of Ariosto ; they had not to depend upon a Minister of War. Adieu. Yours, BONAPARTE. But there is a political question to which I must briefly refer before I outer on the review of tho week just passed. I fancy that I see a cloud no bigger than a man's hand, but it is the shadow of a big man's band as far as Italy is concerned, in the horizon of that financially and politically much vexed kingdom. My letters are not quito what yon would describe as "comforting," ana now I see that General Garibaldi has accepted the command of tbe National Committee of Borne, to tho mem? bers of which he has addressed the following lot? ter : SAN FIOBANO, March 22. Gentlemen-I am proud to call mvself a Kornau General. I accept with gratitude the mission you wish to comido to me, and I soud you herewith the names of thc Romans who oro to compose the direction of tho emigration residing at Florence. I feel CQjifiBcnt that aU tho refugees will rally round that direction which enjoys my fullest confidence, just as I place the same in von. Yours for life, G. GARIBALDI. I do not know iu tho least what this command may mean; but I do know that among tho revolu? tionary portion of the Romans who romain in Borne" tbe name of Garibaldi is indeed a tower of strength, and that he is bound by what he consid? ers the strongest ties to liber.it? the Eternal City from tho hated priests. I do not say tina he is iii tho right, but I feel sure that this is his religion, and the recently selected Italian Ministry will act on tho General aud his following "as does tho wind on fire*"' I havo seen something of General Garibaldi, and behove him to be tho most kindly man in Italy; but human nature may be too highly tested. After tho base trickery and unnecessary slaughter of Aspromoute it would take an angel with wings to forgive tho plottor. As for money, I dare say Italy will tide over that difficulty in spite of the efforts of her financiers und the de risiou ot li^r ouomies, who have lived hero on last year's baisse in a ?ort of speculative clover, only ono crop of whiuh was cut off, and that harvest took place the day of the cession of Vonotia. The King of the Belgians paid a visit to-day to the Emperor at tho Tuileries. His Belgian Majesty 1 was in one of the private state carriages. Last t night bo was in so humble a conveyance that his coachman got "chaffed''-I presumo a French . coachman would call it "intrigued"-and I heard a 1 French brougham boy telling bini to '*Get out of the way wiih his cripples, and let his betters get up to the door." There is no concealing the fact that Paris is getting very full, and iull or a most cosmopolitan company. For instance, I asked a friend lust night if there were manv persons at the Grand Hotel. "Manyi' aaid he, "I should tldnk thero were; and they oro such a curious niedlev. On my floor alone I have Bpottod thirty-threo Ja? panese, two Turks, one Persian, and a Chinese giri." " Columella," the new Italian opera, had a cer? tain success. It is a light comic opera of the some , lass as "Crispino" and "Don Buc?falo," and rill bettor please Paris than better music.

[From, thc Shoe and Leather Reporter,] BOSTON BOOT AND SHOE MARKET-For the week ending May 9.-The demand at present on the wholesale trade is light, while price, have an upward tendency. The shipments are gradually falling off, as spring orders for the larger markets of the West are nearly filled. Business with tho local trade is good, and these in a fair request from the Interior towns of New York and Penn? sylvania. The prices with the jobbers are fairly sus? tained, hut the . are generally reluctant to advance in proportion with materials and labor. Strikes among the "jours" continue to occur In some of the towns in this vicinity, and the manufacturers who have accepted orders are obliged to accedo to the advance asked. We learn of one firm who had employed fifty hands having suspended operations for the present in consequence of the advance demanded. These strikes are confined mostly to towns in vicinities where the heavier kinds of boots and shoes are made, and have been occasioned moro by the anticipated demand for fall gooda than by any actual request at present. In other manufacturing places the journeymen are working at low pri?es, aa cern pared with the cost of living, and hi the event of an active demand for their work no doubt but they would ask some advance upon present prices. Everything considered the prospects of a paying business for the trade are not very encouraging, and unless there s hould be an active demand In July it ia doubtful if prices can be sustained at the actual advance cost of the goods. Our manufac? turers are well aware that with the improved facilities in producing boots and shoes it requires but a fow weeks to overstock the market, whioh has heretofore caused a de? cline in prices injurious both to themselves and tho early buyers. An increased demand is anticipated this year from the Southern markets, which, if fully realized, will not equal tho producing power of tho Eastern factories of the present day, as, at the lowest estimate, they can pro? duce 30,000 cases por week, or about the number received and shipped on alow stock in the market in August, 1865. The shipments by rail for the week have bein 11,367 cases. The total shipments of boots and shoes by rall and sea for the week havo been 14,079 cases. New York Market. MONET MARKET. The New York Evening Poet ot Friday. May 10th, says : The buoyant feeling at the London Stock Exchange, accompanied by the advance of Flvo-twentles to 72, has had but little effect here, except in the gold market. The foreign houaeB are, however, buyers of United States bonds for exportation. The loan market is easy at 6aG. There are large amounts offering at 4 to tho dealers in governments. The discount demand is small. PRODUCE MABKET. NEA YORK, May 10.-FLOUR, Ac-The market for Western and State flour is fairly active.
