authorized TO state, by Il gentleman who was
awltuess OF the transaction, that, after the
surrender OF the Federal troops At Licking
ton, the money committed to the charge of
Col. MulliEan, in the entertainments wa.
taken by Gen. Price and Col. Mulligan, CON
yeyed by their orders to the Bank. and there
in their presence counted. The whole
sum, coin and bank notes. was $500
o0), and this sum, except $4,000, in three
packages OF $4,000 each, wag received -
The fifteen thousand dollars in notes 1t is
conJectured, was stolen by Federal troops
about the time Of the surrender and when a
less strict guard was kept. This idea is
strengthened BY n report from Quincy that
the soldiers, or some of them, were well sup

Offering them 1T q discount. However this
may be, the main fact Of the deposit of all
the funds In bank settles The question of the
