Sheridales Change of Base—The Beason
thrift:
A despatch in our telegraphic.polumn announces,
that the larger part of SheridanYs army is again
around Winchester. The particulars of the march
from Cedar Creek, whore our army had been en.
eareped r to Wincheiter, ern given in the columns r
of the New York- Times.. , Early inlhe morning of
the 11th Sheridan broke camp, and his men fell into '
line between - sunrise -- and 11 o'clock A. M., and by •
noonday. was fairly on -the march' northwarde - tO--
, wards the Opequan. ThiCehange'Vf base IS said to_
be in accordance with the programme previorafy
determined upon as BOOM as the national election
- was over, - that the: Copper headi with their `SOuthern
allies could not take advantage of the change to fella-
once the eleetion. The army has, therefore, stood its
ground in order to give, its moral support to the loyal
Vetere of the when it'had not more active
business engagements with-Early's army. Mean
time, the forage question has become'a serious one .
with the army.' All the hay, fodder; and oats - for .
many miles e around _has. beereconsumed. All that
the Government furnishes for quadrupeds , demands
must be traneportcd nearly forty miles from MU- "
tinsburg. To get nearer our base of supplies is .
therefore an object of importance to the sub-
sistence oflimees as weir:safes% The &damn was

BNOORLTN NAVY MI/D.—Admiral Paulding has
issued orders that when a vessel •hauls from .the,
wharf no officers shall be absent after sunset, and •
no boats sent _oil' or allowed to be down between'
sunset and sunrise. This order, although incom,
moding some of the young officers, must be , looked
upon as a very just one. These are "war times,"
and those who have promised to serve their flag must
abide by Its laws,

She has one turret, and carries a battery of two
improved 15-inch guns,.and, as a harbor defence;
she will be of great service to San Francisco. We
now have our iron-clad navy represented in the Pa
cific ocean, and there is no telling where we may be
in this respect in the next quarter of a century.
Though insignificant as this launch may seem to
some persons, yet it marks with an indelible clear•
nese the progress of our navy in . the waters' Of the'
world. The builders and the country should be
proud to hear of the successful launch 'of the Oa

AMITRAL FA REAOUT.—it IS rumored in naval cir
cles that Admiral Farragut is snorily to come North,
and that the West Gulf Blockading Sqnadron,
which was organized by him in FebruarY,l,B62, will
pass into the control of a new commander-in-chief,
not as yet named. The gallant Admiral hie been
hard at work since the latter , part of 1861, and has
proved himself the greatest naval hero of the age,
and under this incessant toll his health is beginning
to feel the wearing strain of fatigue. We may need
the Admiral for other work, and his faithful devo
tion to his flag demands for him a respite from his
labors. Long live Farrs,gut!

PICKET BOAT No. 3.—The picket boat No. 3,
building at Bordentown, N. S., under the superin
tendence of Captain C. S. Boggs, U, S. N., is being
sheathed on her bottom with sheets of India rubber
instead of copper. The rubber need is somewhat
like that used in the manufacture of combs, canes,
&c., and, if successful In its woar, will make a change
in this part of vessels' outfits. It is smoother than
copper, and promises to be less likely _to become
foul with grass and barnacles. The process of put
ting it on Is novel and interesting, each sheet being
heated to sa . given temperature and secured to the
bottom while hot. It cools retaining its form, and .
is . not easily removed, being fastened by nails or
screws. India rubber has been used • for , almost
everything,•bnt we never - thought a vessel's bottom
would be coated with it.

Dorgim's V'oeuks*.
The fioston Coninionwi.allh, a standard of literary
criticism, notices the new edition of Mr. Dorgan's
"Studies," and pays the following merited praise
to the singular genius of one of our townsmen.
Study Poe, few authors have given such high evi
dence of thought and beauty in:poetryl
. .
Studies,” thelitle of Kr. Dorgan ' s volume of
poems, can give little indication of what tne
poems 'aro. With such a proud modesty does
this new poet come before the world that neither
In the names of his. single poems nor the
title of them collectively does he make pa
rade of their contents, preferring that the
reader shall find out for himself their meaning'
and motive. The readers of the Commonwealth have
already tested the, quality of the more recent poems
of this author, who has included -in this reprint of
an earlier volume, few or none of those which •we
haire printed from, time to time. Perhaps ,ho re
serves those for another volume, which shall belong
to another stage In his spiritual life ; for nearly all
iliae earlier pieces bear the mark of youth and of
passion.. They satisfy the Prone& conception of a
poet—a manwho sings to the world the feelings,-
the hopes, the disappointments and the sorrows
whioh he personally has experienced. Such, too,- was
the Byronic idea of poetry ; and it hake chief cha
faoteristic of the poetry written by women. The
higher functions of the poet, to interpret to his age
the secret of the world. and by his excellent art " to
confcrm the shows of things to the desires of the
mind," are seldom exercised by him until experience
and culture have taught him the exact relations
which the personal boars to the universal. Then
he:learne to sing not merely hts own j oys and griefs,
but those ' of mankind ; be joins the chorus of all
Men, and is accepted as uttering the . voice of all.
Then only does he wholly fulfil the purpose of' •
"God ylio gave to him the lyre, '
Of all inail - a - 1;
For all breathing men's behoof. "
However it may be with other poets of the day,
we are sure that this earnest view of the Wilco of
poesy will seem to It Dorgan the only worthy one.

The Ritssissippi Ricer , as . it is.
A trip down the Mississippi river niiw.s.-days is a
very serious matter, far more serious than in the old
days of pettoe, when snags and gambler's liowle
knives were the only dangers. Sinoe tterebels have
began to wander along its banks, and the river has 7
commenced to "dry up"—for that is the aKertion—
most sensible people stay boleti, rather than prams
nade the decks as shifting targets for rather oorreet
shootingbushwhaekers. Concerning the "drying
up" the people of Minnesota know something. The
St. Paul Pioneer complains :
The people of this region' are still crying for rain,
rain, rain. For two long years rain has' been a
thing almost unknown in Minnesota. ' The "Father
or Waters" has now dwindled into a more "babbling
brook," and even the famous Falls of lithiseh.sha
aro about to lose their former celebrity.
A correspondent writes, out of. the midst of the_
benighted region of the southern MiisissiPpl,
tell
ing what he has' met in "travelling down," and
what he has not met (the bullets), and. how •he
avoided them •
• .
"We have struck snags, run on - barii, got off agaim
and-lava been fired into by the guerillas. This
last item transpired once while we were at dinner.
The , shots—about a dozen—came from a masked
batter% and although we had an entire regiment
of New York soldiers on board, there was not a
musket• to reply. But everything looks uglier in
print :than it-does in reality. For instance r there
are more misses than hits in these skirmishes. It
is one thing to fire, another to shoot. It is only in
oases of real down carelessness that injury is done.
A steamer which reached Cairo just as we ware
leaving had been boarded by guerillas and several
people shot. But this was because she stepped,
against all reason, at a deserted point on the river
to take in cotton. The cotton was the bait. Like
an innocent mouse, she nibbled at it, and the trap
was'Eprung on her."
Of Cairo he has not a very high opinion, for he &s
-nits that
." Cairo is, without exception, the filthiest hole In
existence. It is the end of the world, the tail of
creation, the finis of the sphere; the dirt-box of this
globe. It is belltion a mprass, with a high embank
ment In front on •the river aide to save It from being
wiped off the map by an overflow. This, however,
does not save it from being constantly inundated, as
the body a of the town is far below the water line of
the river. All the streets aro bridged over with
wooden bridges for foot passengers, and onlyin three
or four streets can horses travel. Pigs, cows, hens,
and horses run loose in the alleys and lanes. Every
thoroughfare is a garbage box. All the houses are
built on foundations twenty:feet high, with no cellars
nor basements. All the store a are variety stores.
The telegraph operator even keeps a grocery, and
the postmaster has a newt-stand.
• In the same melancholy vein he disiourses of the
river : - It is the dullest sheet of water on the globe.
Besides, it is only a mud puddle with high sliding
banks on either side, covered wish ceaseless linos of
uncbangable trees. This for four hundred mifes.
Occasionally you meet a wrook.These ate the

Now, Mr. Editor, won't you please give this gen

he undoes everything and walks about while fast

. • DEATH BY LIGHTNTNG—Dr. Chretien ' of Monte
potter, In.Fmnce, has sent an account to the Amide- •
my of Sciences of a remarkable instance of the
terrible effects "of lightning. On the 2d instant he
.was sent for to ascertain the death of a youth of 16, '
killed instantaneously by the electric fluid in his
. bed, he being ill at thetime. His mother and three
young men who had come to see him were in the
room when the catastropheenocurred. One of the
young-men was seated at the• foot 'of the bed,
another near the bolster, and the third close to the
door of the apartment, which was on the first floor,
contiguous to the roof of the house ;• the mother was
between the second and third visitors. The lightning
penetrated into the, house 'through the wall of a
large room adjoining the sick room ; it broke all the
Window panes in the former before reaching the
other where the company were. The young man at
• the foot of the bed had the legs of his trowsors par
tially burnt off; thasecond"recieved a wound onone
of his lege, and the mother had her left leg cruelly
bruised, the stocking was partially burnt, and deep
burns were perceptible' on the flesh. Her son, as
already stated, was killed, and the fluid ultimately
escaped through the window.

and that when the war broke outbe had taken se:-

degree of depreciation of the currency, showing that

about three times as much-as it was in other coun
tries, and that the depreciation" of the currency,
hen.compa red with the gold of the world, instead
of being twenty or twentv•four Tor one, is reallynot
More than about eight for one. And there was no
nation that had prosecuted a heavy war (and suc
cessfully) on a credit, but had- suffered a greater de
preciation than they, and Ina less time. . •
-As for the new and the old currency, be pointed
out that the two rest upon the same basis of the
public, credit, and that the
- eagerness which- the
public manifested to exchange the (Meier the other
was unfounded.' Every holderof the-,old'eurrency
had a right to demand 14 redemption In , the new,
and bill for. extending the time of redemPtion
would be one of. the first measures introduced and
passed at the next session of Congress. Especially
bad the Trans-Mississippi Department 'a right to
demand this, not a dollar of the ne wissue having boon
sent thither for redeeming the old.

"Mr. Semmes concluded with a brief,view of the
situation beyond the Mississippi. We have there a
large array ;• .how large, would not be Proper for him
to say, and -it is, constantly increasing under . the
operations of the conscription law, Which Could not
heretofore be enforced. Bat now we hold the Goan
try'down to the .A.tchafajaya ; the laws of the State ,
and of Congress are executed to that limit. Sun.-
plies of all kinds are ample; the' army. cannot
consume the tithe of corn, and of Meat ,there is
nearly as great an abundance, while our laborato-'
ries at Shreveport, La., Tyler, Texas, and elsewhere
are turning out everything needed in the way of
arms, ordnance stores, &e. With all this, the spirit
of the people of Louisiana,, among whom.ho had
travelled—extensively,- was- indomttable: In the
midst of the blackened remains of theironed happy
they were enduring. Nowhere except in Virginia
—to which State he conceded the palm for sublime
heroism—had been seen So much distress, so muck
unblenohlog resolution. The results of the last
campaign had proved the impossibility of the - enemy
occupying the country, and not only could• the .
trans-Mississippi hold her own, but possessing, as
she would by next spring, an army not less in num
bers than one of the great armies on this side of the

It is evident that there is to be no abatement in the de
mand for oil stocks for some time to come. Every other
description of stock security is obliged. to give way to
them, so great a hold have they taked upon the &nen=
tion of operators. The manifest tendency of Prises is
upward, I. otwithstanding the almost unlimited number
Obit companies that are daily preseed upon the market.
A new stock, which two weeks ago was unknown, ex
cept to its own stockholders, and which was then re
luctantly taken at $1.75 per , share, sold on Saturday at
an advance of this finis of 8%. Of coarse it would be
untrue to say that there large advances are fictitious
values, In the great majority of cases they are found
s d upon a solid bas"s, the increasing quantity and value
of the oil developed justifying the high price at which the
stack is sold. There have been, and there donbtlesswill
be,large for tunes lost in oil ipsenlations; but it is equal
ly true that as the oil wealth of Pennsylvariii and West
Virginia bag not yet-been fully developed, vast fortunes
are still in store for the cautions and discreet investors.

It vs ill doubtless be a puzzle to many hew, with an
army approaching our own in numbers, and with the
pnrcbaeing power of graybacka reduced to five Cents on,
the dollar, the "rebel debt should havd reached only
X 1,147,970,200 on the Ist of October, while that — of the
Federal Government was, at the same date, $1,955,973,-
716. 'lt will appear eciaally strange that, while we aro
enabled to keep only from $15,060.093 to $26,060,000 in
the treasury, Yet so "flash " are the rebels of mos ey
that in April lost they had S3CS.OCO 3 GO in the treasury,
and in October 6103,500,000; and still more remark ab'e
'will it appear that their expenditures were only $272,-
030,(00 for the last six months, while ours were probably
$550,000.060. The whole matter, however, is easily ex
plained. The truth is..that the rebel finances have Rink
• into such a condition of demoralization that they have,
propesly. 'speaking, nh regular diehersemeats. The .
Richmond Government has substituted a eystem of im
pressment for that of ordinary purchase. Their com
missariat is supplied by produce seized by the army, in
payment for which certificates are•glvon, payable at
the close of the war. These certificates continue in cir
culation as a sort of currency, helping the inflation ;
but not being at present payable, are' not recognized in
the Treasury register; and are, therefore, not included
in the statements
,of the public debt. This being the case,
tbe'ordieary operations of the Treasnry are,.to a large.;
extent; dispensed with, and the real indebtedness of the;
, Confederacy Is unknown. As the Principal expfziudithres
of the rebels are met in this way, It is ileitis probable ,
that the figures prevented by Idr. Davis do not amount
to More:than one-third the actual debt his agents
haVe accumulated. It le the most glaring dishonesty in •
• the :rebel President to have omitted ,all mention of
this chief item of the debt: 'ln hen of a- candid state
ment of the real condition of the finances, he - prefaces
the abOve deceptive figures with an assurance• that the
facts disclosed: in the report of the Secretary 'of the
Treasury "are far from disionraging. sudden onstrate
that, with indictors legislation, we shall be enabled to
meet all the exigencies of thewar from our: abundant
resources, 'and' avoid, at the same time, 8-eh an seen
.mulation of debt as welted 'render at all doribtfat our
