OBSERVES the New York Post OF
course it is the groat blow which decides
the war, and Mcclellan is right to hns-
band his forces and devote his energies
and skill to the destruction of the insur-
gent army which is opposed to him. But,
meantime, it would encourage the army
and the public greatly if somewhere, with
in few days, our men were permitted to
make some minor attack, whereby they
could strike balance for the recent Lees
burg affair. Tit for tnt is good rule.
Everybody knows that we can bite AS
sharply as the enemy; but we ought to
show our teeth once in n while.

WE see it stated that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is compelled by its
charter to carry freight for citizens of that
State at a fixed price, or within certain
limit. Under this arrangement Pitts
burg merchant can buy -four at Cincinnati
at S4,2o, take it home by river, ship it to
New York, and make money. while if for
warded on Cincinnati account, would make
loss. The freight difference, compared
with through rates, is about soc per Dbl.
in favor of Pittsburg. The consequence is
large quantities of flour and wheat are be-
ing bought at Cincinnatiand taken to Pitts
burg via river, and property that has here
tofore been sent direct from points in the
West, is now brought to Cincinnati and
sold to Pittsburg parties. So great is this
freight advantage that Pittsburgers are
purchasing cars and placing them on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, for their own use.
Thus the tonnage of the road is being
largely increased.

The Confederate Army Failing Back.
Especial Dispatches to the Philadelphia Press.l
WASHINGTON Oct. 90 1861.
Scouting parties from Gen. keyes and
Gen. Wardsworths brigndes have ascer-
tanned that the Confederates have fallen
back upon Centreville, without even leav-
ing guard to protect Fairfax Court House.
1t was thought at first that in the evac ua-
ton of the latter place feint was played
and that the rebels were in force in am
bush on the outskirts of the village
Such, however, our scouting parties nave
asrertuined is not the fact. The conciu-
sion, therefore, is that they will not risk an
engagement on the open plains of Centre
vile, and that they will, if they have not
already done so, retire behind their en-
trenchments at Manassas Junction, where
they have the railway to aid them in bring
ing uu reinforcements in case of an attack,
and strong entertainments to defend them
selves from our guns. AS l stated in this
correspondence ten days ago, if they risk
general engagement ut all, it will be Mt
this point. Retiring to Manassas will also
afford them an opportunity to draw Off
portion of their troops from that point, and
order them to their batteries ut the termi
nus of the railway at Acquia Greek, where
they anticipate an attack from a squadron
of our feet aud from whence they can
send troops along the railway to Rich
mond, in case they find an attack is to be
made upon Portsmouth, and by the rivers
upon Richmond. Necessity compels them
now tn keep their forces as much as posi-
BILE upon the line of the railways, where
they can be the more readily concentrated
on the banks of the Potomac, or, in case
of fire in the rear, back upon Richmond
Our naval expedition have more than any
thing else CAUSED the evacuation CT Fair
fax Court House.

NEWS FROM WESTERN vIRGINIA--GEN. ROSE
GRAMS DRIVING THE REBELS BEFORE HIM.
A dispatch received here to-day, from
Cen. Rosecrans stated that he had advanc-
ed some five miles in the direction of the
rebels, and was preparing to make anoth-
er forward movement, with view of driv-
ing the rebels from that section of the
country. He had intelligence that for sew
eral days they had been retreating. He
intended to follow them as soon as the ne
cessary arrangements could be made.

WE have all been puzzled to understand
how the rebel government could supply its
treasury. A remarkable article, which we
copy elsewhere from the Richmond Wing,
shows that some of the rebels are also per-
picked on the subject We know that it is
costing us fully million a day to carry on
the war, and that the military expenses of
the rebels must be nearly as heavy as ours.
Their navy cannot burden them much
But their sea-coast defences must be a
heavy drain upon them. So that the Wing
is doubtless correct in estimating the sum
required by the rebel government to meet
the expenses of the current year at three
hundred millions.
Now what has the Secretary of the Treas
ury at his disposal2 The Wing tells US
Ten millious-all that has been taken, of
that fifteen million loan, which was sail
taken" daily for abouttwo months, accord
ing to the reports made by Southern papers
last spring; the produce loan, which as
the Wing says, every Southerner, except
Mr.. Memmipger and Mr.. De Bow, regards
as failure; the hundred millions OF
treasury notes, part of which have been
issued and have driven specie out of cir
culation; and the direct tax, which may
yield fifteen millions. hundred and TWEEN
ty-iVe millions are thus furnished de-
fciency of a hundred and seyenty-fve
millions remains. The State taxes and the
direct taxes will draw more money than
the people now have. They will be
obliged to fall back on the banks, and
these cannot meet the demands without
an expansion, which will deprive their
notes of value. The Wing confesses, too,
that the want of credit is as obvious as
the want of money. 1t is of the opinion
that this trouble might have been obviated,
but sees clearly that it is too late now.
1t must be admitted that the exposition
given by the Hhig is not very cheering for
the South. A rebellion may be. sustained
for while by irregular sources of supply;
but great war like this cannot be carried
on for any considerable time, unless by n
people who are willing aud able to pay the
expenses with promptness and regularity,
or such portion of the cost as will show
the capitalists that the people can be trust
ed. The forcing processes adopted by the
Southern 6uanciers and leaders, have
carried them through the summer
months. But the funds are already
exhausted. Winter is coming on.
Expenses are accruing rather than
diminishing. The blockade is becoming
more and more "suFocating." Nothing
can be carried out for sale. Nothing can
come in to pay duties. The currency is
deranged. Specie is wanting. Some of
people, as is evident from the continual
complaints of the Whig, are dissatisfied
With the Government, and with the pros
poets of the future. The lapse of each
succeeding day increases the difficulties
How eztrication from them is psssible,
does not yet appear. II We are inclined to
be discouraged by some of the obstacles
which lie in our path, it is we'll for us to
read the article from the Wing, and to gain
an interior view of the moro formidable
aud apparently insurmOuntsble obstacles
with which the rebels have to deal.

4 Snggestiou.-We are informed
that all the business houses in New
Orleans are closed at six o'clock L.
NJ. in order to give clerks and other
employees an opportunity to drill
We think this is laudable example
and deserves imitation by our citizens
1t may become necessary for those
who have remained at homcto protect
the women and children to march to
the field to the relief Of those who are
now under arms and if they now IA
miliarise themselves with military
movements their services will be the
more efficient should they be called to
defend the country. There are many
gentlemen of family in our city who
are prevented from drilling with the
"Sentinels" simply because that com
pany meets after tea. The hour we
have suggested would be entirely
convenient to them and not intefere
with others. In these times when
every branch of business is paralized,
no loss would BE- sustained by any
one and much good might be accom-
plished for the public by adopting
our suggestion.
