THE SKIRMISH At DRAINSVILLE.

iEro1n the New fork Herald, Goth inst
The bank presidents met this morning st ten
that they won1d receive no money on special d.
posit sent for HI. Chase, to hear what he had to
tay. The Secretary addressed them ut some length
lie referred to the conduct Of the war. and under
took to promise that, in the course OF month,
events would occur which would entirely change
the aspect Of the financial question. He had
next thirty days, and it would then be time enough
to devise new means As to his plans. he referred
the bankers to bis published report. Referring TO
mate that it would not be found incapable Of sol1-
ton by diplomacy or arbitration; and he finally
assured the b banks that, 5? taF from being their
and ally, and hoped that they would cooperate to-
gether for the public good. At the close OF this
speech, which seems to hare disappointed many
nrc to shcdany light npon the Secretary schemes,
half dozen members moved an Adjournment.
The motion was declared not debatab1c, and Was
put and carried at once, Thus enda the conference
trtween our banks and the Secretary. 1t has been.
beyond question, less fruitful than Was expected
when Mr. Chase vas requested to COME to New

pared to place him in 3 position which would have

bankers would make proposals to him, this
"4pcctaticn was disappointed br the mo-
lion to adjourn. Both parties are thus LEFT
facing each other az they were, aud truce for =
month has been dcclsrcd. The hope Of the more
sanguine among Mr.. Chase's friends IT, that before
Js1lnary Is ouT armies will have won such ricto-
rjca that the cause Of the rebellion will be plainly
hopeless. and money will be rendered to our gov
er1!ment. not only at home, bnt abroad In this

:ion will then arise how shall the banks deaf with

may be answered at first, it is eeident that crent
ua1!y the banks will be compelled to receive and
pay them out as money. to do which it will be nee
cssary for them to suspend specie payments. How
much specie they will then have in their vaults,
and how much it will be found that they hare

THE FOREIGN NEWS

The two days later foreign news brought
1,y the steamship America, at Halifax, is
important Wariike preparations continue
On large scale IN England, and troops are
embarldng and ships being made ready for
The American continent These movements
are bit in keeping with the more beliger-
ent and less friendly tone Of the press,
which, from the nature Of topics discussed,
would seem to leave little doubt that a war
with the United States is regarded IS
strong probability. Indeed, it has been
tcltgraphcd to the Paris press that Eng
land will demand instant restitution; and
from Paris to the London press that The H.
tcrcsts Of France are inseparable from Eng
land. But q feature Of the news hardly
second in importance to any other, is the
public meeting that has been held IN Dub
lin. calling fer i united Ireland to strike
for Irish independence when war between
England and America shall make the op-
port1,nity. The English press sneers, III
deed, ut the meeting, and it may not be
that it was distinguished either in num-
bers or men. But the meeting has touched
scheme that, IN the event Of war, will bc
enlarged to dangerous endeayor.

e3- Our Washington letter on the second
page gives gloomy view Of the state Of

on which the country has rested its hopes,
it would seem has been attacked by the

He Will Probably be Hung,

OTTERvMLE, Mo-, Dec. al learned yes
Gen. Pope, last Thursday, was the notorious
Col. Magofiln, Of Georgetown, Mo. About
two weeks ago, Col. Magotfn sent word to
tic commanding officer that his wife was dam
gerously IL, and begged to be permitted to
see her ere she died. He WAS Informed that
if he would give his parole as d pris-
oner Of war, his request would be
granted. He did so, and went home,
and the next that was heard Of him
was TINT he commanded the whole force that
defended the bridge which Col Davis carried
by assault; that be fed with his party and
was not taken until some time after the rest
of the rebel force had surrendered, and in
consequence Of the darkness Of the night he
WAS not recognized until the next day.
1t seems that Col. Magottin, having visited his
home, arranged his affairs, and sent messen-
ger recalling his parole; but instead Of sur
rendering himself, US officers usually do, he
left, and before this messenger reached Seda-
liz, he Was in the rebel army; and when the
fight came On, feeling that bic deserved and
would probably, receive different treatment
from those who had not forfeited all
right to be treated as prisoners of
war, fought desperately, but unavaillngly.
Gen. Pope refused to accept his parole, and
ordered him to be placed in confinement until
Gen. Halleck decided what disposition to
make Of him. He is one Of the most despe-
rate and unRcrupu1ous Of the ularauders i'll
this section, and it is to be hoped that he will
receive the punishment his crimes and his
forfeiture Of his oath deserve.

H The fisheries Of Detroit are a great
source Of wealth, and the Free Press devotes
column to their history. The fishing grounds
extend the whole length Of the river on the
Canadian as wcll as the American shore, De-
troit being the general market. The large
fisheries average nearly Thousand barrels
each in season. The smaller ones from fifty
to live hundred, and from eight to ten thous-
and barrels Of fish are taken, in ordinary sea-
sons, in the immediate vicinity Of the city.
The average price has been about six dollars
per barrel, but this year the price has not been
above five dollars, owing to the embargo On
trade with the South.

Destruction of the North Missouri

ST. Charles, Mo-, Dee 21st.-A precon-
certcd movement was made last night By the
secessionists along the North Missouri Rail
road, and By rebels recently returned from
Prices army, by which about one hundred
miles of the road WAS nearly destroyed, or at
least rendered useless. Commencing eight
miles eouth Of Hudson, they burned the
bridges, wood piles, wster tanks and ties,
tore up rails for miles about them,
and destroyed the telegraph line. This WAS
continued to Warrenton, where the work Of
destruction ceased. How many were con-
cerncd In this villainous work is not yet
known, but there is no doubt but that it was
preconcerted and Simultaneous movement
party could have sccompiished SO much in
one night. Three hundred Of the yillains arc
known to have been engaged in the destruc-
ton Of the bridge track at Warreuton.
