shape this season, as it could not be done
at anything near the present rates 1or
old, and there being such large stock
of old on hand-not less than halt a
million brls-the general conclusion IS
that it will not be safe to pack pork IN
barrels at present prices. 1t is this
which has made pork-barrels such a
drug, which, it was supposed, would be
up to s. Lard has given way, and
closes at Ss@84c., and dull. Account
sales of shipments to Liverpool show
that present prices are much too high
for that market The stock of last year 5
lard in Liverpool on the lst OF October
was $500 tons, as we published In
our impression of the 22d OF last
month, and dealers are now beginning
to fear that large receipts of new on this
unusual stock Of old will press the mar
ket down to a low figure there, and that
this, with the high rates of ocean and IN
land freight, will make the present rates
for lard rather hazardous
Green meats have been sold to mod
crate extent at 3fc. for shoulders and
SIC. for hams, indicating decline.
Box meats are easier; Cumberland mid
dies 5a@6c. Long rib 6l@6@c., and
short rib 63c., and do. clear 7c., with a
much less demand and weak market.
In old bulk meat there has been no
thing done, and prices are nominal at 4
and &c.
Notwithstanding the large demand
from the Government for bacon, at this
place, Louisville, and St Louis, there is
no stir in the market, indicating that
there is such an abundance on hand that
those who get the contracts have not to
buy, but have the supply on hand Shout

Flour declined to S. 25 for superfne,
with dull market Wheat has also de-
cined, and is dull Oats are lower, un-
der large receipts; but corn is in active
demand, and prices higher. Rye and
barley unchanged.
The demand for whisky is very light,
and is met by dealers from day to day at
the regular rate, sale. Sales of duty
whisky are being made to alcohol distil-
lers, in bond, or what is equal to it, at
l8@l9c. 1t is permitted to be moved
from the dlstlllery by both parties giving
bond in double the amount, that the
alcohol made from it, or it in its original
state, will be shipped abroad within sixty
days, and the proof of this falls on the
purchaser. After the alcohol manufae-
turer has his alcohol ready for shipment,
he cannot sell or transfer it to other
hands, but the foreign shipment must be
made in his own name This embar-
rasses the trade a good deal, and the
mode of transfer should be simplifed by
Congress this present winter, as it is of

The CouptorfoIt Note Business.

The business Of manufacturing counter.
felt bank notes must keep good many per.
Sons employed, il it is true, as stated in
HdrpeyJ Magazine, that Of two thousand
banks called good in the United States and
Canada, not more than one-ffth have es
capped the attempt Of counterfeiters to forge
their notes. OF the fifty seven banks in New
York city, not one escaped, and no less than
three hundred and fifty fraudulent issue'
have been made upon them alone. OF the
whole number Of banks Of the country at
least elk thousand different issues of spuri-
Gus notes have been made.
When we consider what a vast amount ol
labor these counterfeits have cost, how many
persons must have been engaged in making
and circulating them, and how few have been
arrested and punished, we may safely. con-
clude that the great majority Of guilty per-
sons have escaped. Harper says in nineteen
cases out of twenty bad bill is detected as
its circulation is attempted, and the number
of dangerous counterfeits is very few. Not
one in hundred has ever lost a dollar by
counterfeits, and few have ever been made
rich by the issue. Still the work goes on,
and new counterfeits are coming into mar
ket every day.

The Rail at the White Rouse,

my bleeding country saVe.
The grand party and ball at the White
House on the 9TH instant is said to have been
the first dancing party ever held in that
mansion. We rather guess it will be the last,
especially for the three years to come. After
giving description of the ball and supper,
the Cleveland Herald comments as follows
We do not know how it may strike our
readers, but to us dance at the White House,
with opera music, champagne punch, in
japanese bowls, and a supper costing thou
sands of dollars, superintendent by caterer
imported from New York for that special oc-
casion, is about as appropriate as game feast
and gallopades at funeral. We have ne
heart TO comment upon such adeparture from
| the proprieties, yea, the decencies of thu
| occasion. How feel the relatives of the sol
| ders now languishing and now dying TO
want of comforts, within the cannon's sounC
of the White House. We say it temphsticslly
and the country will echo yes, that such
scene es that above described, in Capita
around which, for its very preservation
glisten 200, 600 bsyonets carries the imagins
ton back to a burning Rome and fddlin
Nero. What if, at midnight, the enemy
cannon had belched forth their thunder
when the President, the Cabinet, Genert
Mcclellan, and his interiors in rank withou
number, were promenadiug the east room
for owing to the crush it was ball with th
dancing necessarily lett out.

General George H. Thomas the senior
Union General engaged in the late battle at
Mill Spring, and to whom, with the brave
men under his command, should be awarded
the honors Of the recent victory, is native
of Virginia one of those loyal officers in
the regular army from the seeded States
who resisted the lures of false political
theory. He graduated at West Point in 1886
with the rank of Brevet Second Lieutenant
of Infantry. In 1850 he was appointed in.
slructor of artillery and cavalry, which posi-.
ton be held at the breaking out of the pres.
ent rebellion, when he was appointed Brigs-
dier. General of volunteers, and placed in
charge of division in General Pattersou'E

COMMON PLEAS.

SENTENCED TO THE PENITHNTIARY. The
State vs James Jones. The defendant was
convicted at former session of murder in
the second degree. A new trial was granted,
and defendant then put in plea of guilty,
the Court having testimony so as to fix the
grade of the homicide. Judge Garter was Of
opinion that it made out a case of man
slaughter, and sentenced the prisoner tc
Imprisonment in the Penitentiary for the
period Of seven years.
GRAND JURY REPORT The following In.

cobs murder in the second degree: J. r
Mansel, bigamy; Mary Andrews, passing
counterfeit money; Frank Foote, man
slaughter; L. McClyman, e. Dobell, assau
and battery.
The Grand Jury presented also final re
port, in which they recommend that magis
trates and witnesses should not be allowed
fees unless in the event of Indictments being
found. They think the practice of sendin;
lunatics, non residents, to the Jail, ought t
be discontinued; and in taking leave o
Judge Carter, whose official term closes to
day, they remark that the community will
lose the services Of discreet, firm aud i'm
partial Judge.

General Bueps secretlveness

General Buel is very model of reticence
and secrecy. He goes to head quarters every
morning at about ten o'clock, and shuts
himself up in his sanctum sanctorum, imper,
vious to any human force, except through
the regular red tape channels. He WiU not
be interrupted. II is as much as a mans life
is worth to speak to him on the way to his
Office. His servants are as afraid of him as
they are of the devil.
An express messenger came to him with q
package of maps from Washington, and did
not dare to enter the room. He offered the
package to one of the porters to carry it in.
"No," said the porter, "you carry it in." !"
mo-" said the expressmaD, che knows you;
you take it." 1t was some time before the
fellow dared "face the fercely. fro wning
chief" to hand him the package and get his
pay. General Buel admits no one to his
confidence, and all predictions of forward
movements, based on pretended access to
headquarters, are mere nonsense.

Troops Coming West From the Pot

Troops Coming West From the Potomac
The Pittsburg Gazette of yesterday says it
has been currently reported in that city for
"some days past that large number of
troops will soon be transferred from the army
of the Potomac to the dark and bloody
ground in Kentucky, to meet the reinforce
ments said to have been forwarded by jeff.
Davis from Manassas to Bowling Green,
where Beauregard has assumed command.
1t is sought TO confirm this rumor by another,
which has been current here since the visit
OF Colonel Thomas A. Scott, Assistant Sec
retary of War, to the effect that while here
he entered into arrangements for the sole use
and occupancy of the entire rolling stock ol
the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati
Railroad Company connecting this city with
Cincinnati) for the period of six consecutive
days, commencing at given date, and the
object was to transfer $4,000 troops from
Washington to Kentucky"

in the West for several days past His pre-.
else business has not transpired

DescrIptIon Of Fort Henry.

The only forti6cation on the Tennessee
River, of much importance, is Fort Henry,
situated near the line of KENTUCKY and Ten
nessee, on the east bank of the stream. 1t
stands in the river bottom, about the high
water mark, Just below bend in the river,
and at the head Of straight stretch of about
two miles. It therefore commando the river
for that distance down stream, and very lit
tie else. The land around II is q little higher
than the fort, and portion OF 1t is covered
with heavy timber. On the opposite side OF
the river are three hills commanding the
fort completely. The armament Of the fort
consists Of eight 80 FOUNDERS, four 12-poundd-
ers, and two 6-pounders The32 and II pound.
ers are heavy guns, and the 6 Founders light
pieces. Ny informant left Fort Henry on
Thursday, the 18th ult., at which time large
lot of fintrenching tools had just been brought
thi,her to be used in fortifying the hills on
the opposite side cf the river.
On these new Notifications it was intended
to mount three very heavy guns, VA pound
ers and some rifle cannon. An Irish regl-
ment at the fort were relied upon 20 perform
much of the work in prospect, but in addi-
tion to this force lomo four hundred slaves
were daily expected from North Alabama,
The garrison Of the folt, under General Lloyd
Tilpham, consists Of Colonel Adolphus Hell
mans Irish Regiment and q regiment of Mis-
sissippians. beside the artillerists.
