Then and Now.

Twenty days ago our brave troops in
Missouri had just routed the enemy 10 the
battle Of Frederickstown, and the four sue
cessive skirmishes of Lexington, Wet Glaze,
Linn Greek and Springfield They had
driven the rebels down to the Arkansas line,
and were still in pursuit, when Gen. Ere
mont was removed from the command for
"incompetency." Since that time our army
has evacuated Springfield, leaving all South
ern Missouri to be anew overruu by the
rebels, while Union families by hundreds
are flying for their lives. The enemy has
been permitted TO advance more than a
hundred miles to the North, burn Warsaw,
and destroy the Government supplies which
were stored there, rob the steamer Platte
Valley on the Mississippi, and the Sunshine
on the Missouri, and capture valuable
train, loaded with guns, between Sedalia
and Leavenwo But, on the other hand,
great vigor has been shown in giving orders
for the rendition of fugitive slaves, in hunt
ing down even the negroes who aeeonpan-
led Gen. Fremont and his staff on their re-
turn to st. Louis, eliminating in General
Halleek's order to kick out all fugitives who
have sought protection in our lines.
We do not venture to make any comment
upon these facts. Indeed, they need none.

THANKSGIVING Day was very generally
observed ia this city. Most of the places of
business were closed in the forenoon, and
several churches were opened for public SER
vice. One of the most interesting incidents
of the day was the anniversary celebration
of the Mission Sunday School. Over five
hundred children, scholars of the school,
assembled at o'clock in Crescent City
Hall, where an hour was spent in singing
and listening to short addresses from the
Superintendents ofother schools and the diff
ferent clergymen present. After these ex-
ercises were concluded. the scholars were
invited to partake of the conlents of scores
of baskets containing bountiful supplies of
delicacies, calculated to brighten the eyes
aud gladden. the hearts Of the little ones
A happier party we have not seen for many
day.
The annual report OF the Librarian, read
upon that occasion, indicates that the aver
age attendance each Sunday is about four
hundred scholars, all OF whom do DOT attend
any other Sunday School Uu1er the in
struction of Mr. VIM. Tileston, the children
have learned to sing number Of spirited
songs, which they rendered with excel
lent effect aud in good time. The Mission
Sunday School has become one Of tue insti-
tutions of the city We believe that it is
the largest and most prosperous school of
the character in the State, and the Superin-
tendent and the teachers, for their self
sacrificing exertions to build up this school,
are deserving of the CONNIE ndation of all
good citizens

There is no class of persons so much to
be pitled as the insane; therefore, every ef-
fort calculated to relieve them should be
carefully aud faithfully executed During
our visits to the Insane Hospital we have
discovered what we thought very great
OMISSION on the part of our Legislature, and
after having had a conversation with the Of
icers of the institution, we fiud that they
concur with US in that impression. It is
simply this: The poor unfortunate inmates
who are compelled to wear away so many
long, tedious, lonesome hours, are totally des-
titute of a library or anything in the shape
of reading matter. The good citizens of
Indiana can remedy this in a very short
time, and we hope they will do it.
Let the good wives aud daughters Of Ia
diana go to work-examine your new spaper
and periodical files, and bundle them up and
send the same by express to DR.. Woodburn,
the Superintendent, who win have the lat
ter bound, while the former can be used
without. 1t matters not how old or how
miscellaneous they are; they will assist in
making book, and that book will be read
by the patients, many of whom will be able
to read it intelligently.
Papers throughout the State will please
copy the above, and thereby confer favor
upon the patients in one of our benevolent

Financial and Commercial summary
for the past Week.
Nothing has taken place since our last to
disturb that quiet, ease and high observa-
tism, which have been the prominent fea-
lures of the money market in this city, for
a long time. The slight furry caused by
the arrest of the Rebel ambassadors on
board the British mail steamer Trent, al
-lnded to in our last, has disappeared, the
law and usages in similar cases having been
examined by competent persons and found
to be all on the, side of the United States.
The demand for money has increased slight
ly since pork packing began, but is still Of
a limited character A further improve
ment may be looked for, in this respect,
within the coming week or ten days, as the
packing business will then have reached its
active stage.
The rates of discount remain at 1O@12,
though call loans can be made at 6 per
cent and short paper is taken at per cent.
A large amount of money has been paid
out to army contractors within the week,
reaching nearly $1,000 and the greater
part of this went into the banks, thus in
creasing the amount of capital. Currency
is very abundant, the demand for Treasury
notes being in special favor.
The demand for exchange has been quite
moderate and rates remain unchanged.
Very little demand for gold, and only re-
tail demand at our quotations.

The newspapers having been requested
not to publish any army news calculated to

render defeat improbable, if not impossible.
