JUNE 28, 18G4. Latest from the Front. The repulse cf toe enemy yesterday morning by the Divisions of Cloburne. Cheatham and Wal ker, Hardee's corps,, in one of the severest checks sustained bj him during the war. The enemr came right up to otr breastworks, is one instance at least, planting s standard of colors npon them. The rotor-bearer's body was riddled with balls. With great eoo'aess and deliberation oar breve hnr waiied until Ih Yankees tin '. ( the- r breastworks, when they tntened Tipe them with tbe deadly musket. ri.I . an I igmpe and canister. The destruction ctn imnenM. A distinguished OenereJ officer 'telegraphed to Atlanta, las: night. that tie enemy's loss was Isr grr than It was at New Hone Chnrch. The enemy made t he attack in seven columns Three stands of colors were captnred, Cheatham taking two, and Cleburne one, as stated to us ly a prominent officer, in s memorandum, received by the train this m.jrning. Our lines are about th same ss before the at tark. Heavy skiririshing we going on al. along our lines during the day, and was still going on at 6 o'clck; yesterday evening, both cannon and small arms beiii used. About foo prisoner had been taken np to 6 o'clock. French's and Lorinf's Divisions were also at tacked in force jestrday evening, and also hand somely repulsed the- enemy, ir aiding severe inju ry to biifl, n killed, wounded and prisoners. This attack was not so severe as that on Cheatham. Clebunsc and Walkw. Prisoners captured yesterday state that the bridges are being destroyed, aud the railrond track torn np continually in the enemy's rear, "but that they do not know b;r whatcommund this is being done. Gold Still going l p. On the 20th gold sras quoted "in New York at 19-, on tlic 23d it went to 22."., and finally closed at 2s. These extraordinary fluctuations in the gold market indicate, with miering certaiuty, a great lack of confidence in the military opcrntions now going on. Our news from Petersburg direct, is only up to the 20th, the day on wliiej the quota tion was 1!H, bnt it was then very evident that (i rant's army was effectually checked. If any battle occurred between that time and Thursday, the 23d, on which day gold went to the unprcceu figare of 225, we have no information of it add the Yankee dispatches furnish no account. We are, therefore,' led to believe that no battle occurred, and that the excitement in the gold market was produced by a belief, daily strengthening, that (Irant hod r;ot hhnsrlf and his army into a position in which nothing Important could be accomplish ed, and that the campaign against Richmond was a failure. Tbe prediction of Mr. Chase, tiiat without military success all financial measures must fail, is being suddenly realised, and we see the verification in ".he excitement in the money market- Those solemn-looking figures, giving the price of gold as compsred to greenbacks, tf 11 us plainer than words could do, that the taith of the Yankee nation in their go remment, and in its ability to conquer us, is breaking down. The lying dis patches of (Irani and Sher'sn will weigh but lit tle with the masses against such startling facts as an advance of 27 cents in the Value of gold in the spaceof three day b. For they begin to sec the dark wing of bankruptcy already overshadowing them and all their national interests. At the same time that greenbacks are going down, Confederate money is rapidly advancing at Memphis, and is now worth 21 cents. But a few months ago it could be purchased for 5 cents in the same city. Tbe se ate all cheerful and encour aging indications. A Word for Mr. Memmlnger. We take the following from tbe Richmond Kn quirer on Monday. We have no doubt there is a good deal of truth in it says the Wilmington Jour nal. Tbe amoua'; of praise or blame really at (aching to Mr. Memmingor is necessarily small, as be eon M do so more than carry oat tbe legislation of Congress, for which be en hardly be held re sponsible, or if reiponsible at all, only so in a very slight degree, slnei Congress seldom or never acted upon his recommendations : W!tever new Hcas this war way have developed in military science, the history ef paper money b not been in the luest altered by the experience of the Confederacy. The same results have been de monstrated by thn Confederacy that attended our Revolutionary fat hers If not to the same extent, yet to as great degree, if time and circumstances are considered. Confederate notes, continental cur rency, and French asignats, have all the same history, because lafluenced by the same general causes, and whenever and wherever these causes operate they will produce the same effects. The resignaUoii of Mr. Mcmmiuger, Secretary of the Treasury, "will set is the least modify or improve these results. As he did not produce them. so his resignation will not improve theto. No suc- cessor that he can have wiil bring to the public service more untiring exertion, more eesl and de votion, or arrester ability In tbe ase of the means orovt'lexl htaa by the Congress. The sabttantia wealth of tbe eountry has not been impaired If lie rarrcsey, nor exhausted by aiy action of the Tree mry Department; but as tbe illicit rams of heart less extortion aid immoral speculation melted awar. it was to be expected that unmerited eensore and wndervi obloquy would be leveled St the ostensiLIe cause f all tbe loss. The Conrrets made the notes, the Congers in creased the not i, and tbe Congress failed to pro vide lor their reduction or redemption. Without tax&ticn to ret am the notes to the treasury, sn-1 without ether earrenoy to support aad Maintain the war, it was impossible for toe amoant of notes not to increase, ind just as equally impossible to prevent their depreciation and the consequent rise or prices. All this was the work of the Congress, and not of Mr. Mejam-nrert and whatever may he said of the recoramendiitioBs of tbe Secretary, as they were never regarded or sdoptcd by the Congress, he should not be held accountable for the re'ults of legislation that he did no recommend, and which he was obliged to execute. A people disappointed in their expectations are not likely to do justice but whn the cooler head of the historian comes to - chronicle the financial history or this war, the hou- est seal, the faithful 'labor and devotion to the 'cease shown bv Mr. Metnmiarer will and their re. ward, end the e so see tbat have produced the pre. seat condition f Confederate finances, their pro per estimate.

The sudJcn and unanimous vote ot the House of Representatives nf the United States, a few wocka ngo, (hat the Monroe Joctrino would bo adhered to ripen rs not to hare been intended to meet and put down a State intrigue between Lincoln's and Napo leon's government in supervision of that dtc torial pretension of the Tinted States Con gress, nt the suggestion, of lircsiJcnt Monroe that no foreign power should bo allowed to interfere in any manner with tho internal policy or government of any nation on this Continent. There was in this tinquastion ably, a good deal ot bully ism, mount to deter the powers of Kuropo from nny attempt of the kind. And yet the big bully was persuaded of his power, so full Yf the idea that he could whip the world in arm, "that it has always been a question whether he would not really hare acted up to tho declaration if the emer gency had arisen. At all events tho bully frightened all tho' world till our civil war ooraenced, when Napoleon, apparently bet ter comprehending its gigantic proportions and long duration than oven the parties to it, seized the opportunity t nettle some old grudges ho had ag.tio.st Mexico. lie inva ded and conquered Mexico, und placed a European on its throne as Emperor all in defiance of the Monroo doctrine. between SotvarJ and his Minister in France, that the latter was early instructed ""not to provoke debate" with Franco on tho subioct, lor the reason that tho United Stntes had its bands full at homo. As the invasion pro gressed Mr. Seward gently remonstrated, but Sid not threaten. That did not stop Napole on. And then Soward. in Sept., 1803, fair ly and sojuarely backed out from tho Mon roe doctrine, insisting that the U. S. had no right nor disposition to intervene in the af fairs of Mexico, either to establish or main tain a government thcro "or to overthrow an imperial or a foreign nn if Mexico chooses to establish or accept it." France thereupon asked n distinct recogni tion of Maximilian's government by the U. S., st.tting that she would leavu Mexico ns soon as that was obtained, but would stnnd by Maximilian until it was obtained. Mr. Soward d eel i nod that for tho time, because tbe war in Mexicti had not been ended, but again said that tho U. S. would not interfere with the decision of Mexico herself. This wan in November last. Thon comes, and in conscqucnco of Seward's abandon ment of ths Monroe doctrine, tho resolution most positively affirming that doctrine, which was introduced by Mr. Winter Davis, of Ma ryland," (an Cnctny to Lincoln) and passed unanimously. This presents a Tory serious stato of things. Soward (or Lincoln) nnd the Congress are at points. Tho former cannot satisfy Nnpoleon without a recognition f Maximilian, and cannot recognize Maximilian without of fending Congress. Tho policy of deception and temporizing is about to result in offend ing all patties, and may. lend to a speedier rupture than if a straightforward and manly course had been pursued. .Soward is unable even if he were willing, or even intended, to make good -his promise to Napoleon. Not only has the House of ll 'praentajivcs unan imously interposed a veto, but tho Monroe doctrine, in nil its fullness, is incorporated in the platforms of both tho Fremont and Lincoln Conventions, and will undoubtedly form a plank in that of the Democrats to meet next month.

The president, in addition to the restraints of his own sense of honor, was to be put un der a solemn plodgs of eternal secrecy. All relustog to avceede to the proposition were for the time to leave the room. Tboso whese choice was reciprocal, that is, whose papers contained tho same two namat, were to be privately informed, while the selections of tbe other were to remain undisclosed.'
