SHINPLASTERS..

Our readers VIII remember that
some months since,-in an article up.
on shinplasters,-we stated, that aie
system had its evils, and that the in
PRODUCTION of them, would have ten
dency to exclude all legal tender,
whether in postage currency or specie,
from the market. But little attention
was paid to our suggestions shinplas-
ters were issuod in, iiAmense qpanti-
ties. We then suggested! sort Of
Clearing. House, by which these bits
fpasteboard and paper might be re-
deemed at frequent intervals, and thus
the standing and responsibility of the
makers be ascertained;. and the public
assured of their dispositian,and ability
to redeem them.
Our advice passed unlleeded. Par
ty afterparty, began to issue this trash,
until our community has become flood
cd, and our change, currency merely
nominal. jew and Gentle, black and
white, bond and free, merchant and
sutler alike, have contributed to this
undesirable result. Many Of the par
tics who have issued these checks, are
not worth half theanount of the checks
they have in circulatien,;-. ;. some redeem
them, and others do not. or will not.
Unless some speedy and summary
measures are taken, wesoon shall have
y brilliant array of worthless currency.
As we predicted, the freeuse of checks
has driven specie entirely out Of the
narket..
It would seem to us the better policy
to ignore this substitute for change
entirely. Yet we are told, that such a
course would caalso many of our trades
men to close up their stores. We are
not sasure but what that would be O
benefit, in our already crowded! and
ovcrdona community. 1t certainly
wonld do no harm, for if. traders are
obliged; to Shut up, their shops in con.
sequence Of being compelled to resort
to a substantial currency, it is surely
an evidence that trade is overdone
aud that they arc not needed. We
Lope that this system will be broken up.

near night whtfi the jailor went in to give the
prisoners food and water. that Fry, the ncto.
rious anu daring leader of the tory band in the
brdge-burning enterprise, seized upon the
jailor and checked him down, while others
snatched his keys, and hastily unlocked every
room. Some l4or 15'of them rushed out at
tho door and came very unexpectedly npon tho
single sentinel who happened to. be then in
font, knocked him down and took his gun
from HIM, and before the guards on the other
side Of the building We're aware Of what was
going on or could come round to the front, the
most Of them were out at the front gate. One
or two who endeavored to climb the high fence
were stopped by the scntincis guns levelled at
them, and perhaps two others fell from tho
fence and were so badly hurt as to be unable
to get away. All who got through the gate

Our arms are entirely successful again
in Northwest Arkansas,
Gen. Schofield, finding that the enemy
had camped at Pea Ridge, sent Gen. Burt,
with the First division, westward, and NOV.
ed towards Huntsville with the rest Of his
forces.
General Rlurt, by making hard nights
march, reached and attacked the rebel force
at Marysville, near the northwest corner
Of Arkansas at seven O'Clock on the morn
ing of the 22d inst.
The enemy were estimated at from five
TO seven thousand strong.
The engagement lasted about an hour,
and resulted in the total rout Of The ems.
my, with tho loss Of all his artilldFy-A4
battery of six-pounders--a large number
of horses, and a portion Of their transpor'
iation and garrison equipments.
Our ca,alry and light howitzers were still
in pursuit Of their scattered forces when thu
messenger left.
Our loss was small.
General Schofeld pursued General Hind
man beyond Huntsville, coming close upor
him, when his forces precipitatcly fled be
yond the Boston Mountain.
All the organized forces of the rebels hav'
thus been driven back to the valley of th'
Arkansas river and the Army of th'

The Star says:-We have very late infor-
nation from the region of country between
the lines Of General Sigel's Army corps aud
Gordonsvilc. Three days ago the only rebel
troops occupying it was regiment Of North
Carolina cavalry and one regiment of infantry.
They had their headquarters at Warcnton,
with pickets out along the Rappahannock, and
at times sent out small scouting parties in va
rious directions. Culpepper Court House had
then ceased TO be the railroad terminus, at
which the supplies from Rlchmend for General
Lees army were put on wagons. They are
now taken to Staunton by rail, and wagoned
from there all the way up to Winchester. This
change was doubtless occasioned by dread lest
General s,gel might cut off their trains, which
he could do if they continued to travel the
road from Calpcpper Court House via Sperry'
