Attack I'm the Rear.

We have some interesting and impor-
tant information from Arkansas, received
through newspapers of that State which,
though couple of weeks old, contains
some items that we have not had from any
other source. The Little Rock Tine Dam
ocrat Of October 18th, publishes letter to
General Albert Pike, the Confederate In
dian Commissioner, from the rebe, Colonel
Mcintosh, in command of regiment at
Camp Pleasant, expressing great alarm on
account Of an apprehended attack from a
patty of Creeks Col Mcintosh. recon-
mends that the forces in the Cherokee and
Choctaw Nations be Immediately sent 20
his assistance. 1t appears that the South
western Indians are by no means unani-
nous in hostility to the Federal Govern
ment, Notwithstanding the seductions of
Gen. Pike and his secession CONDUCTORS
The Creeks, under the lead of A-poth le
ho-la, one of the chiefs of the tribe, have
been the first to revolt against the treaties
whereby their loyalty has been attempted
to be transferred from the Union to the
Richmond dynasty. A-poth-le-ho-la, gath
ering force variously estimated at from
5000 to 6,U0O, lately proceeded to the
Creek Agency at North Fork and, tearing
down the Confederate flag, hoisted there
ny WciutosH regiment, ran up the stars
and stripes of the Union. Great conster-
nation was created among the disunion
residents by this uprising, and men, wo-
men and children left in great numbers.
General Mccullough, then at Fayette,
ordered out 100 Cherokees, 500 Osages,
and battalion Of Colonel Cooper's regi-
ment to crush the outbreak" The ex-
petition started probably about the 18th,
but We have no means of knowing the
result at present.-.S Louis Rep, Noe g

From CAIRO.

There is exciting news from Cairo. On
Wednesday night a strong force, consist
ing of the 22d, 9th, 30th and 3lst Illinois
regiments, the 9TH Iowa, Taylor's battery
and Delanos cavalry, started down from
Cairo, on 5 steamers and gun-boats to
and marched upon the Missouri camp of
the enemy opposite Columbus. General
McClernand commanded the Cairo troops,
Col Dougherty those from Birds Point,
and Gen. Grant the whole. The battle
appears to have commenced Immediately
Oh the landing of the troops, and for two
and half miles, up to the camp of the
enemy, the ground was holly contested.
The enemy, however, were driven into and
through their camp, which was set on fire
and burned by our troops. Our men also
took battery Of ten guns, and large
number of prisoners. About this time,
news was received that the enemy was
crossing in large force from Columbus,
when the order was given our troops 10
return to the boats. On the way back
they encountered force Of 5000 of the
euemy, who had crossed from Columbus.
when another desperate fight took place,
the enemy being driven back, SO that cur
men were enabled to reach the boats and
feturn to Cairo, but leaving most of their
kirel and wounded behind. Our loss is
supposed to be from 500 to 500, while that
of the enemy must he fully equal. We
shall doubtless, in day or two, have full
particulars of this desperate engagement.

of JOY that Col Mullisan has been uncon-
ditionally released and that all his officers
nave been exchanged. Quite number
of his officers, including Capt Coffee and
Lieut. Hickey, of this city, were on their
way to surrender themselves to Gen. Price,
in accordance with their parole, when they
met Col. Mullisan, at Jefferson City, with
the joyful news of their release. They
are now all on their way back to Chicago
where they were expected to arrive last
night. Col. Mulligan's regiment will be
recognized Immediately, and in month
will again be in the field.

GENERAL HALLECK 1.-The statement that
Gen. Halleck, of California, is to supersede
Gen. Mcclellan is doubtless unfounded :;
still the merits of the former entltle him
to prominent position. He is New
Yorker by birth, entered West Point in
1885, stood third in his class, was breveted
Second Lieutenant OF Engineers in 1859 ;
was acting assistant professor of engineer
ing at West Point from July 1889 to June
1910 He is the author of q military work
on " Bitumen and its Uses,'' &c In 1915
he wrote the g Elements of Military Art
and Science" In 1917 he was breveted
captain for gal liant conduct in affairs with
the enemy, and for meritorious service in
California, where he was Secretary of
State in the military governments of Gen
erals Kearney, Mason and Riley, in 1S47,
As, and part of lS49. He was Chief of the
Staff to Commodore Shubrick in naval and
military operations on the Pacific In lS47
and 1913, and member of the Conven-
ton in 1919 to form, and of the committee
to draft, the Constitution of California
In July, 1853, he was appointed captain of
engineers, and resigned on August |, 1854
He now appears as Major General, his
commission bearing date August 10, 1861

THAT QUESTION SETTLED. The country
was astounded at the publication, in the
New York Icibuns, of Gen. Thomas re-
port in reference to Fremont, and were
almost ready to mob Greeley for commit
ting such an outrage, assuming that he of
course must have stolen it. The astonish-
ment of the country will certainly not be
lessened on learning that the report vas
published at the instance of the War De-
partmeut; yet such appears to be the
fact. The \. Y. Tribune says:
We regret that the Times, in its annoy
ance, should so lose its temper as to reflect
upon Department of the Government
Whether General Thomas report was
wholly untitled for publication" is point
on which we, at least do not choose to
offer an opinion. 1t came to us as that
of Gen. Stone did, published in the same
paper, in regular course from the War
Department, with authority to give it TO
the public through our columns. 1t is
not for US to decide upon the fitness of
official reports for publication. On>fhat
point the Departments are quite aole to
judge for themselves, and we should not
feel at liberty to reject either General
Thomas or General Stones for any such
reason.

TELEcRAPHIc.-We learn by the Chicago
Tribune that Hon. j. D. Cation, President
of the Illinois and Mississippi Telegraph
Company, had secured for Chicago the
honor Of being the eastern terminus of
the Pacific Telegraph. The tariff of rates
for transmitting messages from Chicago to
San Fancisco is S495 for the first ten
words, and 43 cents for each additional
word.
The same paper says: The Illinois and
Missouri Telegraph Company, Hon. J. d.
Cation, President, are about pushing their
line of telegraph westward of Cedar Rapids,
across the State eff Iowa, to connect the
Omaha with the Pacific Telegraph, thus
shortening the distance between Chicago
and San Francisco nearly 1000 miles. The
contract for the poles. for the first Sc 7enty
miles is about being let. E. D. L. Sweet
ESQ.,, the Superintendent of the Northern
division of the Cation line is at present in
Iowa actively engaged in the turtherance
of this desirable connection.

Astounding Gold Discovery.

The astounding increase of gold in
France within the last few years, while all
the trade returns would show an excess
Of exports of the precious metals from the
empire, has been a standing marvel to
political economists. Some six months
ago an Englishman pretended to have dis
covered the secret, alleging the existence
Of enormous gold fields in Algeria. This,
however, was soon exploded, and the
secret remained hidden as ever Another
discovery is now announced by the Bank
er's Reportsr, London.) as follows:
1t has been a great mystery to English
bankers, and to the directors of the bank
Of England, how the bullion of the Bank
France could be SO greatly increased with.
in the last three years, while the institu-
ton has been constantly sending gold to
England, to Germany and America Not
long since the Bank of France drew some
fifteen millions francs in silver from the
Bank Of England, which it paid for in gold
bars with the French mint stamp on them.
At its last report it showed balance of
one hundred and seventeen millions francs
in gold, while the amount one year ago
was under eighty millions-nearly one
third increase.
1t is whispered that this abundance in
gold is the result of scientific discovery,
which the Emperor Napoleon has secured
the monopoly of. Gold is at the present
moment manufactured at Paris in secret
manner. The principal articles used are
not lead and arsenic, and though it is not
known how extensively the precious metal
is produced, yet several hundred weight
of the material are taken to a certain
place on the first of each month Every
thing is conducted with the utmost secrecy
None OF the workmen are allowed to leave,
and nothing definite can be known; but
the fact that gold is produced is beyond
peradventure. How long Napoleon III.
will be able to keep this wonderful secret
remains to be SEEN 4

The event Of the week has been the
retirement of General Scott, which is no
ticed elsewhere. Gen. Mcclellan succeeds
TO the supreme command, but will remain
temporarily, also, in his present command
on the Potomac.
The situation in and around Washing

The rebel forces are mainly concentrated
at CenterviIle, and about the mouth OF the
Quantico, threatening thence to cross
into Maryland, which our side OF the
house say can't be done Crossing on the
Upper Potomac is out of the question, as

it appeared to be heading for Bulls Bay,
