II is gratifying to know that we are about
to have our stock of rihed muskets at Wash
ington increased within a few days by the
addition of from twelve TO fifteen thousand.
From information in possession of the mill
tary authorities it is known that the rebels
have accomplished marvels in the matter of
procuring and making arms, in view of their
being shut out from intercourse with the
world, and being without money or credit
A large quantity Of arms were brought to
Savannah by Captain Bullock, formerly of
the Navy, weeks before our Government re-
ceived its frs. shipment-owing to want OF
energy and efficiency in the Ordnance De-

Mrs. Maskell, Of Sanilac, Mich, was so
determined her husband should not enlist in
the army, that a few nights ago, while he
was asleep, she laid his hand on block of

surgeon was called TO do 1t over.

According to Judge 0chiltree, of Texas,
the rebel army has been very much over
rated in the North, In a speech which he

two hundred and forty-ive thousand troop:
in the field, and ffty-four thousand in camps

WILSON'S CREEK. - The battle-ground at
Wilson's Creek, near Springfield, Missouri, is
thus described by Confederate
The slope of the hill bears every indication
of the tremendous tragedy enacted upon it
by round shot, skeletons of dead horses scat
tered every here and there; and more horri-
ble than all, an occasional human skull, or
perhaps in some of the numerous Tickets
the unburied remains of some poor, undis-
covered, unfortunate soldier who had drag
ged himself hither to die, uncontrolled and
alone. am happy to say there we're but
few of these human remains to be dis
covered, such as there were being found in
the ihickets or unfrequented places, where
those detailed to bury the dead did not find
them. The appearance of the few we did
stumble on was not such as to give US any
particular desire to look upon others.

This is the man who instigated Captain Hol-
Inns, the Baron Munchausen of New Orleans,
to destroy the quiet little settlement of Gray
town, in Nicaragua. When he returned from
his mission in Central America, where he
succeeded in rendering himself very obnox
ious to the people, he went into the quack
medicine and pill l-manufaeturing business at
Little Rock, in Arkansas but his medicines
did not take, for the simple reason that no
one would take them. He then tried for a
while the law; but in that he was equally

IMPORTANT BANK CASE DECIsToN.-The
Commercial Bulletin mentions bank case
decision of some Importance:
AS long ago as 1858 the cashier of the
Bank of Brighton, Mr.. Woodwork, was
detected in embezzling the funds of the bank,
but for some reason or other proceedings
against him were stopped. Subsequent to
the detection of the embezzlement it was
asCertained that Mr.. Woodwork had caused
to be discounted at the Faneuil Hall Bank, in
this city, some 500, 0OOin drafts on New York,
in the name of the Bank of Brighton. The
then President of the Bank of Brighton, Mr..
Stephen Bennett, refused to acknowledge
the responsibility of the bank, and took
shelter under the defalcation of the cashier.
The Faneuil Hall Bank had discounted the
drafts in good faith, and contended that the
Bank OF Brighton was responsible. Part OF
these drafts were discounted in September
and part in October, 1858. The case was en-
tered at court with the ablest counsel on
both sides. .. III.
The case has just been decided, ard the
decree of the court has been entered fol

HOG CRoP-HoG CHoLERA.-The Chicago
correspondent of the New York Times writes
ss follows;
The hog crop of the West is large one
this year. Corn has borne so low price
that everybody has been engaged in putting
into pork wherever stock hogs were avail
able. The consequence is that the crop is
large and prices merely nominal. In Iowa,
especially, the production is unusually heavy,
and as their Southern market is closed,
prices are clear down to the lowest notch.
In the river towns any number of hogs can
be purchased at from So 50@3, which is
about half of what they commanded last
year. In the central counties of this State,
however, the hog cholera is making fearful
havoc. Hogs are dying off by hundreds and
thousands. In two towns in Menard County,
Sugar Grove and Elkhart, it is estimated that
ten thousand have already perished by this
mysterious disease. In several of the ad-
joining counties it has made its appearance
in most malignant form. If the destruction
|. continues as it has begun, it will materially
affect the price of pork in the West
