A SHARP Financial TRANsAcTIoN.-Yes ester
day afternoon ''there might have been seen, as
the novelist James would say, on the corner of
Dearborn and Madison streets diminutive youth
about the size of pepper box, with basket up
on each arm and crying piteously. he boy was
for some time exceedingly loud in his lachry-
nous demonstrations. and attracting the attention
of the passers by soon gathered about him
crowd anxiously inquistive as To the cause of his
grief The tears rolled down his cheeks through
the little gullies of dirt thereon and formed d-
minutive puddles upon the sidewalk. In one hand
be held two defacej postage stamps torn from let
tiers and worthless. alternately gazing at the use
less currency, ut his empty baskets and up and
down the streets. he poured forth his lamenta.
tons unremttingly and without stint So soon
as his sympathzers had succeeded in partially "a
suagng his grief. they gathered amidst sobs and
choked utterances tho painful story that some
heartess soldier had purchased the remnant ofhis
stock in trade. and had. with malice, prepeuse
and aforethouoht" passed upon the unsuspecting
youth the traudulent stamps in question.
The heart OF the multitude was touched Six
cents were quickly contributed 10 mike good the
BOYS loss aud sixty might have been had be
called for it, But alas for the gullIblllty OF man
kind and eary depravity OF youth Fifteen min
utes thereafter the same youngster Was seen play
ing the same game with like success upon the
corner of Lake and Clark streets. and has doubt
less. il the supply Of tears held out, mace good
thing OF il. We regret 10 dampen the conscious
ness OF good action in those who from pure
generosity. yesterday relieved this youths neces-
sites. but young America in Chicago Is often
sharper than older or more experienced heads.
We learn that the boy in question has of late
been accustomed TO frequent the steps of the
Board of Trade buildings at the hours when that
body Is in session. His financial cuteness Is not
therefore to be wondered at-Chieao0 Post.

PrRRYvILLE. October 9-Bragg's army at
tucked two divisions of McCook corps d'armee

perate.
Gen James s jackson ex Congressman of
Kentucky. commanding the division, was killed.
Gen Terrell. of Virginia. commanding the bri-
gade. formerly of Terrell's battery, severely
wounded
On two occasions the fighting was hand to
hand.
The Confederates were greatly superior TO the
Federals in numbers and the enemy gained on us.
McCook WAS then heavily reinforced and the bat
tie was resumed to day
The fighting was mostly done by Gen Rous-
seau's division, formerly Mitchell's.
Col. George Webster, 9oth Ohio. Acting Brig
adler of the 34th brigade severely wounded
The firing ceased about o'clock this evening

A doubtful rumor says that at the close of the
engagement the rebels had possession of part oil
the field.
FRANKFORT, XIV, Oct. 9-General Dumonr
surprised the Confederate forces at O'Clock thi:
morning by attacking their guard on the turnpike
bridge with such vigor that they were unable &c
destroy the bridge, as they intended. Six Con
federates left dead. and Is wounded. Severa
wounded were carried off, but The darkness pre-
vented correct estimate OF the number. Oul
loss is three killed; wounded prisoners
The Confederate force was 600 cavalry and two
regiments OF infantry

PHILADELPHIA. October 9-The Bulletin saws
that the Savannah account cf the action at St
Johns river, Florida is explained by gentleman
who left our squadron there less than fortnight
ago.
The gunboats Paul Jones, CymroBe. Sebago
and Others, under Commander Steedman, were
then preparing for an expedition up the st. John.
river to recapture jacksonville. A land force OF
500 men with fed battery of rifed guns VA:
to take part.
The enemy bad constructed Notifications on
St Johns Bluff. City or sixty feet high. under
which our gunboats have to pass. as the channel

FoRTREss MONROE, Oct. 9.-The Richmond
Examiner of the 9th contains the military exemp

lice for all sections OF the country having dense
negro population, and secures the liberty of the
press b. exemptins editors and such help as they
require ia their business; exempts employees OF
transportation aud telegraph companies. minis

FORTRESS MONROE, October THE steamer
brought down none of our prisoners exchange
for the State prisoners sent up. The Comms-
soner OF the Confederate Government refused to
exchange the prisoners of State belonging to Vr-
GINA, on the ground that they we've taken on ter
rtory belonging to the Confederacy.
The Richmond Examiner says Congress has
serious business on its hands at present. The
subject of revenue and finance is before
Congress The bill provides that every citizen
shall give to the Government one fifth OF his
gross income, and receive in acknow led gment
eight per cent. bonds of all loans. Eight per
cent. is the worst of all taxes. Twenty FIVE per
cent. on gross income is the most oppressive. By
this project Congress strikes heavier blow al
our credit than the public enemy. The Govern
ment has committed financial blunders enough To
ruin its credit. if the confidence of the people was
not well supported. Congress has postponed
adjournment till October 18th.
