A;Batch of Novels.
Since our last notice several novels have been
published, and it is our duty to inform our readers
of their etaracter and quality, With few excep
tions, the presont batch consists of repuhlications.
“Barren Honor,” by the author of Guy Living
stone," and “ Barehester Towers, ”by that same An
thony Troliope who has lately produced a verbose,
prejudiced, but readable book on North America,
are issued hy Dick & Fitzgerald, New York, pub
lishers of enterprise and judgment.* In many
reßpeotfl 11 Barren Honor ” is a novel of unusual
force. Allan Wyvorno, the hero, represents a
class almost peculiar to upper English life. Well
born, highly educated, and richly endowed with
the gifts of fortune, his blood and training go for
little in the race of life ; he squanders wealth,
youth, and hope in unprofitable pursuits; he
wins a loving heart at last, but loses it by treachery;
and finally dies, like a hero, at sea, sacrificing
himself for others. He had lived according to
the light given him,: never doing a dishonorable
action, but: the golden fruit of life turned to
ashes on his lips. A chivalrous man, he was an
imperfect Christian; in his heart Honor took the
place of Religion, and the recompense was ac
cordingly. “ Barren Honor” is a story destined
to achieve as nuxoh popularity here as it already
has wen in England.’ ,
“Barohester Towers ” appears, in two volumes,
as the second portion of the Hand and Pocket
Library, lately commenced by Dick and Fitege-'
raid, as a fao-simile of the well-known Tauohnitz
edition of British authorswith the exception of
giving better paper and print. This series opened
with “ The Warden,” also by Mr. Trollope, who
resumes that story in “ Barohester: Towers,” and,
indeed, oarries some ot its characters into “ Erarn
leigh Parsonage,” his penultimate work of fiction.
Mr. Trollope is a lively, graphic, character-sketch
ing, satirical, and natural novelist. His humor is
subdued but effective, and few writers have shown
themselves more familiar with the varying phases
of English middle-life society. “ Barehester Tow
ers ” is chiefly limited to the intrigues which arise
in an English cathedral city on the installation of a
new Bishop, who rules the diooese, but is himsolf
ruled by his own examining chaplain and his own
wife, between whom is a contest, determined but
quiet, for exclusive influence. This ends, of course,
in the triumph of the Bishop’s wife. The story ,
which is ingeniously conceived and artistically con
structed, has two or three new characters. The
most original of these, La Signorina Neroni, gives
great animation to the whole story, and is an emi
nently brilliant creation. Wo hope to find The
Band and Pocket Library issued with pleasant
frequency. It is just the thing for railroad travel
and, country residence.
“Abel Drake’s Wife,” by John Saunders, (foun
der and editor of The. People's Journal, in 1817,)
is issued by Messrs. Harper as No. 221 of their
Library of Select Novels.f It has met with
universal success in England, having gone
into a second edition in a month. We attribute this
to the fact that, telling a great deal about the pri
vations, aspirations, and sufferings of that large
section of the industrial class in England, the oot
ton-spinners, it has touched a ohord of the nation’s
heart. The highest persons in this tale are an
English manufacturer with: His family, a weaver’s
deserted wife, whom they first educate and then
employ as governess, and a runaway artisan, nor
ambitious husband, who returns home, inventor of
labor-saving improvements in weaving, which his
poverty compels him to sell for a mere trifle. More
or Ices, the whole tale is domestic, and Mr, Saun
ders (who has written several successful plays)
shows groat dramatic power in his situations and
dialogue. . There is intense passion, too, in the lat
ter part of the story, and the actual denouement,
though a little unexpected, is at once striking and
impressive.
In a former notice we glanced at « The Morge
sons,” a very able and original novel, byiMrs.
Stoddaid.t Areperusal confirms the high-opinion
■we formed of it. The scene is wholly in Now Eng
land, and the heroine is made to tell her ownstorv;
There is little romance in the. incidents, yet the
tale is fall of interest. In the delineation of tho
lights and shades of. Now England character, Jhe
author, may be, said to pass parallel' with Haw
thorne—but she takes a larger canvas, ajrd has a
freer touch. . The characters are informed with re
ality. Having pointed out the good points in this
book, it remains to add that it is written, in many
instances, with great carelessness. .Here is a part of
a wretchedly constructed sentence—“elaborate
dishes, which she never ate, but forced Temperance
to.” This is one of Diokensis.pet;phrases, and not
aNew Ehgland idiom. “ Forced Temperance to”—
to what? AU through the book, with two excep
tions, the vile contraction “ Grand’ther” is substi
tuted for the word “ Grandfather.” No well edu
cated New England woman, as Cassandra Morge
son represents herself to be, ctmltfrt rite such a vile
contraction, if she were so vulgar as to use it.
Again, “ Do you write that sister of yours often 7 ’ ’
and tho reply, “I never write her,” the proposi
tion to: being omitted before “that sister” and
“her.” This is no mere slip of tho pen, for it
occurs again whore a gentleman says, “ I have
written her,” and a lady-responds “ She has never
written mo,” and again, where she says, “Go, and
write Ben.” . This is bad, whether in the lan-
guago of New England or of Old England. When a
highly educated gentleman says, will you “help
break the ice,” (the to again omitted,) we cannot
help distrusting his education, for the question is:
mere slip-slop. firs. Stoddard must learn to write
a little more carefully. As to, the decisive point,
■what will be her rank acaong the female authors of
the time, we leave that to be decided by her next
book. Thisoneisfull of rich promise—ofmorethan
promise, of genius which requires only a lit tle train
ing to place its possessor in the van of living com
petitors for fame.
“ Hans of Iceland,” which appeared in 1823, and
. which was Victor Hugo’s first step into prose fic
tion, was put into English and published, with ori
ginal illustrations, by George Cruikshank, in 1823.
Mr. John Bradburn, a New York publisher, has
jus* reproduced this very original and somewhat
grotesque romance, the hero of which, a dwarf of
remarkable strength, strong passions, and great
craft, is an original oharaoter. To, some extent, it
is historical. Hans actually lived, and numerous
wild legends are related of him to- this day. The
story contains numerous striking incidents, none
more thrilling than the execution of Musmadon, a
state criminal, by his brother, the executioner of
Bronthcim, whom ho had not seen between child
hood and the performance of that fatal tragedy.
“Hans of Iceland,” allowing the reader to con
trast Yictor : Hugo’s earliest with his latest fiction,
is a well-timed rcpublieation. The same writer’s
“ Notre [Damo do Paris” would certainly com
mand a sale at present Wo received “ Hans” from.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers.
Of ViciorHugo’s new romance, “las Miserables,”
three parts have already appeared in Brussels and
Paris, but, as jot-, no„translation has appeared in
England. Borne weeks ago, Mr.' Carleton, of New
York, published an original translation oi Pantine,
the first part, by Charles E. Wilbour, and now pre
sents Cosette, the second port. In this, Victor Hugo
shows great power, bat, if must be confessed, ad
vances the story very slowly. Jean Valjean es
caping from the gallies, rescues Pantine’s child,
little. Cosette, from the thraldom of hard servitude,
takes her with him to Paris, and after close pursuit'
by the police, gains an asylum for.both in a convent
there.' There is great discursiveness in this por
tion of the story. The author devotes nearly forty
pages to a description of the battle of Waterloo, and
thirty more to an account of the convent and
its discipline. A third of the volume is thus occu
pied with what scarcely bears upon the; action of
the tale. >: We must add that never before has the
, battle of Waterloo been so clearly put-upon paper.
We have again to notice tho petty economy of
sending new books in paper covers to tho edi
torial tribe. Mr. Caricton’s three last publications
, have reached us thus.
The third part of “ Les Miserables,” called Ma
rius, has been published in Brussels, and is full of
interest. Marius is Eon of the French offioor
whose life was accidentally saved at Waterloo by
Thenardier, the aubergiste. --- Grown to man’s
estate, ho is tho lover of Cosette, who has been
educated at the Convent, and avowing himself a
Bonapartist while his grandfather is a loyalist, goes
out into Parisian student-life, which is well de-
scribed. This part ends with the recapture of Val

and on a thin thread of descriptive travel-narrative
are strung nine stories, very ably told. Mr. Kirke’s
book, on the other hand, is entirely new. It has
appeared in the Continental Monthly, where we
have often noticed it with praise. Mr. ICirke, who has
lived long and largely done business in the South,
knows that region and its people as well as anyone
living. He was neither an Abolitionist nor a pro
slavery man, but Rebellion made him a writer. His

The Late Dr. McClellan.
To the Editor of The Press: /
■ Sib : The Press, of June 25, contains an artiole
by Dr. William Elder, on Dr. George McClellan,
in which there is a statement likely to raise a doubt
as to the trustworthiness of his account.- Speaking'
of the extirpation of the perotid gland, Dr; Elder
says “ that had never been attempted yet ho
mentions an unsuccessful attempt by: Dr. Car
miclirid without mentioning a, successful one by
the same operator. In the discussions on tho sub
ject, in’ 1832, to show that Dr. McClellan had
really extirpated it, his oolleaguc—Dr. Pattison—
delivered a lecture on the subject, in which he
gave a history of the operation. He says to his
class (lecture, 1833, p. 8): “ I shall not tiro you by
going further back in the history of surgery than
the year 1733.” He, however, gives Dr. Mc-
Clellan the credit of having been tho first to per
form the operation in the United States.
Dr. McClellan was an;eminent surgeon and a
successful teaeher; but .he was considered by the
profession as being too ready to operate, notwith
standing the sentiments attributed to . him by Dr.
Elder. Tho failures as well as the successes oE
every distinguished surgeon should be detailed.
The legislative difficulties with which the Jefferson
Medical College had, to contend have boon re
moved, and to such an extent'that'a doctor,may
now he the founder equally of a medical school
and of [a family medicine, whilst it is considered
quite “ professional ” to be a professor in such a
school. I am, sir, very respectfully yours,;

“ ftlnch Decimated.”
To tfie Editor of The Press:
Sib : Will you asktko war correspondents to stop
saying “ much decimated,” “terribly decimated,”
li<s. t &a ? It is painful to those who know'tho
meaning of the word. You might as well, say
“ much quartered,” or “halved.” To deeiinate a
regiment is to out down every tenth man—from tho
Batin word dedvius, tenth. When a Roman le
gion revolted, or committed a heinous: military
erime, as an example itgvas Hecimceted,
every tenth man cut down. If, then, a regiment
of 1,000 men leaves 100 on the field it is decimated
—not “much,” nor “little,” amply decimated- :

The Currency Question.
To the Editor of The Press: /
Sib : I notice that you appear to anticipate
much inconvenience to the public from, want of
small change. It seems to me the matter can be
easily controlled by the people themselves.' lam
convinced there is no absolu.e scarcity of nickel or
small silver, but that it Is held back and kept out
of circulation In the expectation of a premium.
Now, if purchasers at the markets, at stores, &e,,
offer the ohange for their purchases at the discount
of say six or eight per cent., or notes at the cus
tomary market price of the article sold, the hoarded
change will bo brought out and all be benefited.
The city passenger railway companies should Cell
tickets, good on any city railway, in packs of
twenty- five for one dollar, and redeem them of each
other at four cents each. This would greatly ac
commodate persons who ride ib the ears, and would,
in a great degree, furnish small change in ail busi
ness transactions. The railway companies of the
city being sound corporations, their tickets would,
be the very best substitute for small change, being
redeemable on demand, either/or a ride in the ears
or whon presented to the company issuing them to
the amount off one dollar.: This.system'would
much benefit the railway companies and the public.

A Suggestioa.
To the Editor of The Tress :
Sib : In view of the possible necessity of the
issue of small certificates of currency by tne oity
corporation, or by other authorities, I would sug
gest that a great improvement over the old grbtfsy
sbinplaster would be a ticket of stout card or board,
about the size of a .United Statesletterstamp, which -
might be engraved in the same style by highly
skilled bank-note engravers,: and in such excellence
of art as would put counterfeiting at defiauoe.
They could be marked 3,5,10, and 25 cents, (which
are all that would be needed,) andwould oconpy
very little more room than the corresponding silver
coin, and oould be endorsed on the back with tho
necessary signature, if room oould not be had on
the face. This is at least worthy of
Small Change.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir : Would not the great scarcity of gold and
silver, which is causing so much loss and inconve
nience, l>o, to some extent at least, obviated, were
the Government to issue notes for 50, 25, 10, and 5’
cents, payable on demand, in copper. As the copper
currency is never taken out- of the country, the
notes, as proposed above would’be at par all over
the United States, and would certainly be far pre
ferrable to the old-fashioned “shinplssters,” the.
revival of which i 3 proposed. . .

Graphic Account by our Special

FROM GEN. HALLECK’S ARMY.
Rebel Demoralization Guerillas Cur
tis’ Army—Memphis to be Fortified-
Interesting Correspondence.
[Correspondence of The Press.} ,
Memphis, Tenw., July 6,1862. "
AH is quiet at Memphis. It is impossible to
write any news that will be particularly interesting
without infringing on the rules in regard to trans
mitting military intelligence. The evacuation of
Corinth was thoroughly effectual in demoralizing
the rebel army. The only additional result which
could havo been gained by a hattle would have
been the capture of some prisoners and the proven-,
tion of quite sc largo a .foroe being taken to Rich
mond, Evidences of the thorough demoralization
ofthe rebels are accumulating day by day. They
are very much; dispersed. There is no body of
them together to the amonntof ten thousand. They
are constantly deserting, both to our side and to
their own homes. The weather is so hot that no
very great expeditions can be undertaken, and the
fighting during the hot months will be confined to
parties of . .
CUERILLAS.
. The treatment of those bands of lawless marau
ders, who, lirsflor the pretence of defending their
-wives and their 1 , homes, roam about the -country in
bands of ten, twenty, and fifty men, robbing pro
miscuously, and murdering wherever they find a
party weaker than themselves, is not, like many of
'the questions which arise for decision before our
generals, a question of any delicacy, or requiring
any lengthened consideration. It is perfectly sim
ple. When General Halleck found that the Mis
souri guerillas,yrho tore up railroads and tore down
telegraph wires, paid no attention to his orders,
.and that sentences of eburts-martial had no terrors
for them, he stepped making orders and ordering
courts-martiaK; Immediately afterwards it was
observed that any man who had been committing
any of these depredations was found lying by the
roadside, not asleep, or hanging lo a tree limb,
dancing on nothing. Not a word had been said,
not a threat niade; nothing had been published,
nothing had lieen Beard. But, one by one', those
corpses were discovered; Some mysterious, aveng
ing power, dark and insorntable, seemed to be
abroad. Its influence was in the air, and by
degrees became much' more terrible and effectual
than all the fulminations. from headquarters had
proved. The bandits began to suspect that they
could not go out on a tearing expedition, and de
stroy all proper ty that might come into their hands,
and then be arrested, confined, fed better than they
could live at home, and, after a few months, be
released, to try the same thing over again ; and
the result was' that the railroads and telegraph •
wires were, arid are now, as safe in Missouri as they
are in Massachusetts. It seems as if this were
going to he the modus operate in:this depart
ment. General Grant said, at a dinner to which
he was invited jon the fourth: of Jaly, that when
any of these fellows were caught burning and
plundering and destroying, he did not want to
have them brought before him. He did not want
to hear anything about them, nor to know anything
about them.; Hehadtoomuoh to dotobo bothered
about highwaymen.
Now, this is right.sMen engaged inlawful war
fare are justified before God and man in killing
and plundering] their enemies, but under no other
circumstances c»n men be justified in disobeying
tho ordinary laws of meum and tuum. War is
itself a violation 1 of all laws and right, an infraction
of all our notions of justice and humanity, and is
only resorted to when reason loses her sway over
the passions of (mankind. But war and bush
whacking are two very different things. The one
is the test of strength between two communities,
tho other is individual piracy and robbery. The
one can be carried on under some show of order
and of rules more or less well established; the other
is simpiy anarchy ona small. scale. For those who
acknowledge no law, there should be no law. Ha
whose hand is every man, should expect
every man’s hand to be against him.
Considerable excitement was created afew weeks
ago about Jeff Thompson’s, descent on (a train of
cars, passing’Bast from here, when an entire mule
train was said to have been captured,: together
with a number of prisoners. The efficial reports
have now come in, and it seems that we lost the
locomotive by its running off the track, that only
one wagon was broken, the mules were lost by
running away Into the woods; we lost. one man
wounded and one missing, and killed and wounded
twenty-five of the enemy, who acknowledged they
were beaten by running away and leaving us mas
ters of the field . This was not only telegraphed all
oyer the South as a'great victory, but all over the
North as a great defeat. Such is life.
■ Curtis’army is somewhere In Arkansas. No one
knows where. They cannot get supplies overland,
and this morning the gunboats and transports re
turned from White river, having made (an ineffectual
attempt to reach the force with supplies. There is
great danger that the whole force will be bagged
by the rebels, and though such a thing, would not
affect the result of the war, it would be a. great
shame to have so many brave men eaptured without
a struggle. News from that vicinity is awaited
with the greatest -interest. Col. Fitch is still at
St. Charles, and is doing well.
• General Halleck has ordered Memphis to be for
tified, and the work has begun. This will enable
us to garrison tho place with a small force, and
will give to the Union people a sense of security
■ against-attack : from those flying bands who arc
traversing the country. Contrabands owned by
- Secesh are to be used in the work. Seventeen hnn
■ dred of them have already commenced cutting a
canal around back of Vicksburg, which wili carry
the bed of the river ten or fifteen miles east of that
sweet little village, thus rendering it an inland
town, and destroying its importance forever. It is
a pity that some such poetic justice could not bo
dealt out. to Charleston. .General Grant says he is
not going to mako his soldiers work this hot weather,
when the country is swarming.with able and wilting
hands, who can bear the heat so much better.
GENERAL GUANT’S LET TEA 1 - TO GENERAL HO.VEV.
The following is that portion of G eneral Grant’s
letter to Genoral Ilovey relating to the matter, by
which it will be seen that the negroes arc not con
fiscated, as was erroneously stated by a morning
paper, but have been taken in strict accordance with
the orders of-the War department at -Washington:
“ You will also send all tho cavalry you can snare,
- assisted by such infantry as may bo necessary, into
the country to press into the service of the Govern
ment,: to build fortifications, able-bodied -negroes
belonging to persons of Secession proclivities’until a
sufficient number i 3 obtained, giving to tho owner 3
thereof a receipt for the same, receipt and negroes
to bo returned ns soon as the work is completed,
and issue to them rations as prescribed By general
order by Department at Washington. Negroes may
also be taken if found on the Arkansas side, and a
steamer sent down the river to transport all found
contiguous to it.”
Jeff Thompson is a funny fellow. He likes his
joke as well as old Abe himself. .: A loag^ 1 lean spe
cimen of one of our regiments that were sent to the
White Eiver fight was captured. The transport put
the men ashore in the morning, on tho way up, to
cook their breakfast, and this man strayed away,
and was gobbled. Jeff sends him back to General
Grant with the following characteristic note:

[Special Correspondence of The Press.]
; Off Vicksburg, Miss , July 4,1882. ■
The fleets of Farragufc and Davis are now united
at Vicksburg. The rebels, by moans of the railroad
from Vicksburg to Jackson, Meridian, and tlio in
terior of Georgia, have assembled a force ef 30,000
men at Vicksburg.
As the fleet came by, on the 23th, Vicksburg was
« cleaned out, s ’; but, for want of troops, it could
not be occupied. That must be done by the army,
mid the, sooner the better, as they are mounting
heavy guns at Grand Gulf, and on the hills and
cliffs on tho river bank. \
At Vicksburg they will make a strong stand, as
they are backed by the railroad, the only one on
the Mississipplgoißg east:' It is their “last ditch.”
All points on the river wV can agaia take, but
there must be troops here to hold them. y

[Correspondence of The Press.]*
Off ViCKsnuitS, July 1, 1862. -
A mail boat leaving from what is here termed the
“skedaddle end.of the fleet”—that is, around the
bend and beyond the range of Seoesh guns, eight
miles by water, but about one and a quarter by land
across the neck—l.avail myself of the opportunity
to send you a line.
On tho 27th of June, it was determined by Flag
Officer Farragut to advance upon the fortifications,
over, above, below, and around Vicksburg. At
about 3 A. M. the squadron, consisting of tho Rich
mond, Oneida, Iroquois, leading tho gunboats Wis
sahiokoh and Sciota; the Hartford, Winona, Pinola,
second division; the Brooklyn, Kennebec, and Ka
tahdin, third and rear division, got into line and
proceeded up the river. At 1 05. the rebels opened
fire with great vigor and preoision upon our ad
vanced vessels. They developed batteries of whioh
we did not dream; from every crest one or two
guns vomited forthflame and smoke, while in ra
vines, rifle pits, and behind houses woro planted
guns of every calibre, from 100 rifle 18-inch to
heavy field pieces, muskets, Ac. To a spectator
on the bank, where we curiously waited, the enter
prise of our fleet seemed to know no object except
the temporary silencing of the rebel works by tho
fire of “Jack Tar.” The scene was most exciting,
What the day before; seemed a trim garden, backed
by a rich-looking white or yellow house, indicating
luxury and case within, would burst forth the
blaze of a cannon. ’jVkat yesterday seemed a bank
washed by- the rain, now gleamed and smoked
with the rapid discharges of great guns, hurtling
through the air, whieh from twenty cros3 points,
sent with a deafening rush massive bombs. In a
few moments the entire fleet were obscured from'
view by dense masses of smoke, lighted inces
santly by tho flashes from the guns, so admirably
handled by bur sailors. In a short time the com
bat seemed to cease on our side, excopt from. one
black hull with.towering masts. At her the land
batteries expended all their frantic rage. We
watched her with breathless interest. The morn
ing sun oame red and hot over the crest of the hills
—we saw the Brooklyn, with her gallant gunboats,
the Katahdin and Kennebec,, belch forth from
their bows incessant showers of hissing shot, while
from among the bees fringing the hills came
puffs of smoke; and then the plunging'shot, a
rush, an almost perpendicular dip into the
water, a tower of spray, an explosion, followed
by a jet, beautiful to look at, carrying tons
of water high in] the air, proved the accuracy'
of the enemy’s fire, and the deadly effects of a
plunging fire uponunprotected ships from batteries
planted on high hills. Still, through all this, the
Brooklyn and her two spiteful attendants steadily
held their own. Suddenly, a concussion shook the
bank where we stood, and made our frail river
transports shiver in every plank. The Brooklyn
had fired her whole broadside into a battery which
just discovered itself flanked by a battery of artil
lery Of twenty-four rifle pieces. We could seethe
houses and men on tho crest of the hill. The
shell and shrapnel foil thick about them. The
flash and discharge frpm the. Brooklyn was some
thing beautiful to look at, I had tried before to
form seine idea of a ship’s broadside, but must con
fess I had not succeeded, neither can I describe it.
I am.told the Brooklyn is famous for the high per
fection : in - whioh her men are drilled, and that,
perhaps, it would not be possible to find a war ves
sel in any navy to equal her. Suffice it, that she
seemed to rain fire from her side for about ton
minutes, when, all firing having ceased on the part
of'the rebels, she slowly and grandly floated down
stream, and anchored near our side of the river.
lafterwardsvisitedher,and found she had been
struck several times— no one had been hurt—sad
that the broadside, which pleased me so much,
had been fired in about'eleven minutes, and
that nearly seventy shell and shrapnel had been
. fired from her fl inch guns. The clean docks, tho men
amusing themselves in writing,- playing chequers, -
or sleeping under the awnings j-while the officers
were reading papers, smoking, or conversing in
groups, made a pieture of ease, comfort, and disci
pline. :I felt proud that our navy exhibited to a
spectator such examples of scientific skill and ex
cellence. Being a novice on board of a man-of-war,
I was instructed, by an' incident, of the prompt
efficiency to. which men can be brought by a firm
-yet kind. and], consistent system. The hour, of
evening quarters approached. The captain seemed
busy looking .through a glass. The .first lieutenant
..was reading, a Vicksburg paper, which: a soldier
friend had sent him. Various officers were lounging
about ; (the men were employed as I said before.
Suddenly, the drum beat out <! general quarters.”
In an instant every man was at his post. Eyes
flashed,:‘and,: before wo. comprehended the move
ment, the entire battery was manned and reported
“ ready for action.” Tho fine marine guard was
, drawn up in true soldierly array. A death silence
reigned; not a sound could bo heard, till the voice
of tho first lieutenant, who fights, the battery, rang
out sharp and distinct, “clear for action.” Then
a whirl, a confused mass of men apparently
tumbling ovor each other, a rattling .of ropes, a
clattering of spars and rammer handles, and all
was again silent as the upper air. Then the word
“retreat;” the drums beat a signal, the men
clapped their hands, left their guns, the officers
unbuckled their swords, and every ono resumed
the position most agreeable to himself. I was
told that as the “guard” could not use (their
muskets, they had in this action, as at the forts at
Chaimetto, manned two of the big guns. I must
confess I never saw finer soldiers. With fifty regi.
meets of such men I think wo could wyip the rebels
In every field—this without disparagement to our
, own army troops,but simpiy from the faot that they
are soldiers and nothing else. K. Y. Z.

Eegiment, under lieutenant Colonel Moore, encoun
tered 450 rebel cavalry, under Jack Allen, half a miia

After a brisk fire of musketry tor twenty minutes, the
enemy was routed and put to fight. There were ho ca
sualties; in, the Ohio Regiment. Marks of blood were
found on ibe road by our skirmishers that were sent out,
but the enemy had disappeared.
Later accounts received say that these guerillas, op
their comrades, burned the town of Lebanon, and robbed
the Commercial Bank, located there.
Telegraphic communication has , been perfected to
Nashville, but not ever the Lebanon branch, and no
further particulars can be expected to-night. The Fe

Lebanon could not have arrived there until after the de
struction of the town; but they are in hot pursuit of these
guerillas.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia, July 12,1882,
The scarcity of email change has caused a mujjber at
expedients to be devised for the relief of
aud among them is preminestiy urged the issue of cor
poration fractional parts ef a dollar. Such an issue would
certainly produce the desired effect, provided that it was
limited as to amount Remove the cause of a scarcity*
and the scarcity .ceases to exist Wo may safely say,
Whenever nobody desires silyer, that no want exists, and
if an article is unmarketable, the price invariably falls.
-The true way of bringing down the rate on silver is foe
somebody or corporation to make promises to pay as an
equivalent. Let storekeepers aud ail those handling
much money, or who stand in need of much change, have
printed cardß stating thatthis shall be considered a
due bill for so much, payable in dry-goods, fish, or groce
ries.” Let the storekeeper ask when a bank bill is pre
sented for a small amount of goods, if it would be conve
nient for the party presenting the bill to tako the change
indue bills. If the standing of the storekeeper is above
suspicion, most persons would say “certainly,” or many
would say “I wiH take half the amount in them.” In
this way much of the dreaded scarcity of silver would ba
neutralized, aud business in the retail line receive a new
impetus. We commend this plan to the attention of
business men, and that the use of decimal numbers be
stiicUy adhered to.
There was not so much excitement in gold this morning
as the high rates of the last few days have had the effect of
bringing out the hoards, and everybody was anxious to
get the pxemium._ Silver also declined 1 per cent Tha
rumors of corporation issues of parts of dollars has caused
many to hoard and sell their silver, on .the anticipation,
that soon it will no longer be reauired. 6zs7 per cent,
was the ruling price to* day, with a downward tendency.
Gold clesed at 1130114. Market flat.
Business in old demands was active, with rates ranging
from 106 to 107. The latter figure was freely bid at the
cJbse, on a firm market.
Stocks were rather inactive, there being no Second
Board to-day. Prices ruled about the sama' , as yesterday*
United States coupon 6s, 1881, sold at a decline of #, and
the 7.30 loan brought 103#. ftate 5s sold freely at BT#
—the same as yesterday. City loans were held firmly,
and sold at 102 for the new, and 97# For the old issues—
the latter be ? ng an advance of #. Gold brought 14# per
cent premium. The better class of railroad BecuriHea
were held very stiffly. Pennsylvania Baiiroad shares
sold at47# ; the first-mortgage bonds at 103, and tha
second mortgage at 98#—an advance. Minehiil Baiiroad
declined #, and B«aver Meadow Baiiroad rose #. The
fancies 11 attract d very little attention. Beading Bail
road fell off at the opening, but 28# was bid at the dose.
There was more demand for bank shares, with sales of
Philadelphia at 109#; Commercial at 48; Manufacturers*
and Mechanics 1 at 24, and Commonwealth at 32. Ia
passenger-railway securities the only movement was a
sale ef Arch Sjrcet at 25#.

The New York Evening Post of to-day eays:
. The stock market is dull and lower, on the speculative
list, but without murh ohapge in investment securities.
The absence of further news from the army, together
with tbe continued activity ip money, leaves the market
ine dull, unsatisfactory condition.
Bailroad bonds are steady. The leading mortgages
are. scarce. For Hudson firsts 111 was pair!. NevrYork
Central sevens are 108 bid. Michigan Central eights
sold at 107.' The' speculative Western bonds are scarcely
so good as yesterday.
; Governments are per cent, lower* and dull. Tha
eouron sixes close at 101# ®XQI#, the 7.30 notes 104# a
Tbo money market is finite active at 6 per cent, on ceil,
though considerable business is done at 5 per cent. Tha
banks generally get 6 per cent, on first-class collaterals.
Gold opened at 115, but fell to 113#, finally closing at
114#. Exchange on London closed for the foreign mail
at 126 ffl!27, but oh the present rate of gold 120 would hot
be paid. . .
The market for silver remains very firm at Soil per
cent., the outside figure the selling rate for quarters and
halves for shipping. Considerable has been put up fop
export at 10#. Dutiable demand notes are steady.at
7®7# percent. :
The public are gradually adapting themselves to the
new. state of things produced by the rapid rise in gold,
and the excitement of the last three days is giving place
to a more hopeful feeling. Gold and exchange are de
cidedly lower, .and, with satisfactory advices from the
