The Bank of Whitfield.
We owe an apology to the friends of this
Bank, for not sooner noticing a defense of
the institution which they have prepared and
requested us to publish.
In our issue of the 19th February, we no-
lioed au editorial in the Dalton “Times”
which Btated that the President of the Bank,
Mr. Fullilove had been arrested on a charge
of violating the Charter of the Bank, and
had been held to bail in the sum $5,000 to
auwer to a criminal charge at the next term
of the Superior Court.
We expressly declined to give the specifi-
ations; stated that we knew nothing of them
and in so many words, declined to giro an
opinion on the merits of the case, in order
that we might do no injustice to the Bank;
but felt it. incumbent on us to counsel the
people not to take the bills till after the mat
ter was investigated.
lu a few days afterwards, we^had a person
al iuierview with the Cashier of the Bank,
who told us the representations in the Times’
article did great injustice to the Bank, and
that aa article in its defense would appear in
the same Jpaper at an early day. We prom
ised him to make the same kind of a notice
of it that we had made of the attack on the
Ba >k, with which he expres-ed himself en
tirely satisfied—Baying he desired only a full
aud fair investigation, and was willing for
the Bank to be tried upon its own merits, and
the conduct of those coutroling it.
Tne article in defense of the Bank appear
ed in due time. We prepared such a notice
as we thougnt justice—a strict regard to neu
trality in iheocse—and our duty, both to the
Baok aud the country, required at our hands:
but *a Lad placStTVe-xn I. - ...I.,
the priuter, we received from a friend, who
is interested in the Bank, a letter comment*,
ing on the war made against it, requesting it
to he published In our columns; and also re
questing the insertion of the entire article
lrom the “Times” in defense of the Bank.
We concluded to do so, if we could ever could
find room fir them. In a day or two after
wards, wo received another lengthy letter
irotu <» ...—the Bank against
tho charges made. We bavo no special ob
jeciious to publishing either or both of these
communications, except that they are too
loug to flua «. place n ur columns, while we
are so pressed with matters ox greater pub
lic importance. We have kept them onuana,
hoping we wtm id fi a( j gome opportunity to
insert them, till a great length of time has
elapsed, and we see no probability of our be'
lug able to insert them. It would have been
emirely better for the bank and all concern
e i, if we had not, through good nature, eu
di-avored to ftud an opportunity to accommo
daie our friends, and had, at the time, iuser
ted the short notice we had prepared.
We now Bay, that the friends of the Bank
deny the charges, promise to make every
thing right and satisfy every demand, and
ask the closest scrutiny and investigation
and a suspension of public opinion in the
case till the Courts investigate the charges.
We neither indorse the Bank, nor join in
the charges that are made against it. Let all
possess their souls in patience, and if the
Bauk establishes its right to publio confi
dence, it will, no doubt, be freely awarded.

The Columbus “Sun” of the 14th inst.
publ shed an extract of a private letter from
Tallthassee, Fia., dated the 10th, announcing
the safe arrival up the St. Mary’s of the
“Hard Times,” laden with arms and ammu
nition. She was pursued up the river by a
federal gunboat, but escaped by running into
a creek.

Napoleonic Maxims applied to the Fort
Donelson Capitulation.
To authorize generals and officers to lay
down their arms by virtue of a special capit
ulation, under any other circumstances than
when they constitute the garrison of a forti
fied place, would unquestionably be attended
with dangerous consequences. To open the
door to cowards, to men wanting in energy,
or even to misguided brave men,;* to destroy the
military spirit of the nation. An extraordina
ry situation requires extraordinary resolu
tion. The more obstinate the resistance of
an armed body, the more chances it will have
of being succored or of forcing a passage.—
How many things, apparently impossible,
have nevertheless been performed by resolute
men who had no alternative but death!
“No sovereign, no nation, no general, can
be secure if the officers are permitted to ca
pitulate on the field and lay down their arms
by virtue of an agreement favorable to them
selves and to the troops under their command,
but opposed to the interests of the remainder
of the army. To withdraw from peril them
selves, aud thus render the position of their
oomrades more dangerous, is manifestly an
act of baseness. Such conduct ought to be
proscribed, pronounced infamous, and pun
ishable with death. The generals, officers
and soldiers, who in a battle have saved their
lives by capitulating, ought to be decimated.
He who commands the arms to be surrender
ed, and they who obey him, are alike trai
tors, and deserve capital punishment.
There is but honorable way of being made
a prisoner of war: that is, by being taken
separately, and when you cau no longer make
use of your arms. Then there are no condi
tions—for there can be none consistently
with honor—but you are compelled to sur
render by absolute necessity—Napoleon's
Maxims.
By the real soldier the diota of Napoleon,
in all that relates to his duties, are received
with almost the same unquestioning deference
that those of inspiration are by the Chris
tian ; they are, moreover, approved and en
dorsed by the common sense of all classes.—
In fac, in almost all he ever said or did as a
soldier, Napoleon may be*Yegarded as the in
carnation of sound sense; and from bis mili
tary maxims there can be no appeal, until a
greater warrior than he has arisen, and whose
life and actions may demonstrate maxims
sounder and more reliable than his. But
when shall this be 1
A remarkable instance of the conduct so
severely and justly condemned by Napoleon
in the above quotation, has but recently oc
curred, and the evil consequences thence re
suiting are apparent to all. Kentucky has
been abandoned to the enemy, and he now
dominates in the Capitol of Tennessee. Our
Had fought gallantly for several days
and beaten back tne «- ,
and cold and hungry, and wonnded they were,
but they were undaunted ; they had arms in
their hands, and were ready to endure the
worst and to fight to the last. But a rumor
reaches the Generals that the enemy has re
oeived heavy reinforcements, and a great
shaking of the knees follows. A council of
war, “the resort of mediocrity and timidity,’
is called, Snd the result naturally followed
Hear what Napoleon said of such oouncils:
“ The effect of discussing, making a show
of talent, and calling councils of war, will
be.what the effeot of these things has been
in every age: tbey wlH end in the adoption
ot rno most pusillanimous, or ^». „_ nro(| _
■ion be preferred) the most PRUDENT (!)
measures, which in war are almost uniform
ily the worst that can be adopted. True
wisdom, so far as a general is concerned,
consists in energetic determination.”
The council of war consisted of three ytn
erals, and perhaps others. The junior gene
ral insisted most pertinaciously, so one of the
seniors reports, on surrendering; the two se
niors opposed it: but the junior (one against
two) carries the day for the enemy, and sen
ior No. 1 surrenders the command to senior
No. 2, and he turns it over to the junior.—
What did the indignant troops when the news
of the disgraceful results of the deliberations
reached their ears ? It is stated that they
several times tore down and trample! under
foot the shameful white flag their command
ing officers raised, and that thousands of
them, refusing to submit to the degradation
of such a surrender, forced their way, some
armed and others not, through the enemy’s
ranks, and are to-day, free and unshackled,
proudly bearing the arms they bore from the
field of their glorious struggles, but which
terminated so disastrously.
•Senior No. 2, shrinking under the crushing
weight of the shame of the transaction and
the universal reprobation it has excited, has
published a report of the whole affair, in
which he attempts to throw the odium of the
last aet of the drama upon the junior. With
out intending to say a word in defence of
the latter, for the writer can conceive of noth
ing in.extenuation of his conduct, it must be
remarked, that seniors No. 1 and 2, surren
dered the command to the junior for the ex
press purpose of allowing him to capitulate,
and this too in the face of the declared opin
ion of Senior No 2, that the command could
hold out another day. Never before, was a
man so completely convicted out of his own
month of utter incompetency and faithless
ness to his command, his country, and every
principie of duty. The same charges in an
equal degree rest against the others, but of
the three, the Junior exhibited the only re
deeming trait, for he shared the fate of his
troops, and did not purchase his safety by
sacrificing theirs.
The whole transaction is without a paral
lel in the history mf the world. Did Epam-
inondas, or Cyrus, or Alexander, or Ctesar,
or Charemagoe, or Gonsalvo, or Turenne, or
Marlboro’, or Frederick, or Washington, or
Fapoleon, or Suwarof, or Wellington, or Pe-
lissier, ever ahrink from the responsibility of
his cemmand, <sver allow himself to be domi
neered over by one of his Lieutenants, ever
surrender his command to a Junior, turn his
back upon his troops, and leave them to their
fate ? Whence did those Generals obtain the
right to toss the command of their country’s
troops from hand to hand like a sheittlecock,
and with the deliberate understanding that
he who caught it last was to thrtiw it at the
enemy ? Has an officer, entrusted with a
command by his country, the right to turn
over that command to another?
Had those Generals remained at their posts
and discharged their duties, the aspect of af
fairs might now be altogether different; had
they held out a few hours longer the enemy
might have been defeated; had they resisted
for another day, with the determination of
men who felt the mighty issue at stake, and
were determined to conquer or die, the ene
my, if not defeated outright, might have suf
fered so heavily as to allow our forces to
withdraw the next day without molestation;
had they been fit for their stations, they
would, in the last resort, have placed them
selves, sword in hand, at the head of their
troops and cut their way through the enemy,
or perished in the attempt. Never had Gen
erals a better opportunity for winning an im
mortality of renown for themselves and their
treops. Had they fallen at the haad of their
battalions, and immolated the last man of
their command as a sacrifice on the altar of
their country rather than bow at the feet of
their foes, earth would now be resounding
with their 'praises, the enemy would
have been appalled at the resolution and
greatness of soul of our troops, and the en
tire South, as one man, would have risen up
to take vengeance on our foes. But, alas !
how different was their conduct from what it
could and should have been 1 and now, in
stead of a savor, they are stench in the nos
trils of the people.
But, it is said, “the enemy greatly out
numbered us.” The Grecians 10,000 strong
defeated 300,000 Persians; Alexander with a
handful of men, conquered the Persian Em
pire; Csssar, with 7,000, defeated 60,000:
Johnston and Beauregard with !ess than 15,
000, (actually engaged,) defeated McDowell’s
grand army of 45,000.
‘Our men had fought for . three days and
were worn out.” The battle of Tours lasted
seven days, and the heroes who, with indom
itable courage and perseveranoe, rolled back
the Moslem hoBts that unceasingly surged
upon them, finally prevailed, and delivered
Christendom ferever from the sword of the
Tnrk.
“Our men were wet, aud cold, aud tired,
and hungry and wounded, and would not
fight.” Never were men, who had suffered
and dared so much, so foully aspersed. They
had fought for three days, aud fought gal-
.— ——outnumbered by
the foe; they were wet and cold, aud tired
and hungry, and wounded, but tbey were
still undaunted and ready to fight; and their
spirit is shown by the indiguation tbey man
ifested at the pusillanimity of their comman
ders, by their refusal to surrender, and by
the gallant manner in which many cut their
way through the ranks of the enemy. And
if so many cut their way through, why did
not all ? Because their superior officers
would not let them ? Congress ought to pass
a law immediately, forbidding troops in the
field to surrender and visiting up n such dis
graceful and dangerous conduct the severest
penalties; and it should be the sworn duty
of every omcer a— pti to death on the spot,
any other who shall dace propose to digrace,
and endanger his country by oapitulating on
the field. d’A^SAS.

NEWS AND GOSSIP.

A mail agent on the Memphis and Charles

this morning from West Tennessee. He says
that two Lincoln gunbovta attempted to lan

that after several rounds of firing, one of the
gunboats was seriously disabled, and was
towed down the rive- by the other. No casu

Tennessee is rather depressing. In Powell a
