QUARTERS GEN MITCHELL's DIV,
CAMP JEFFERSON, KY, Jan. 2, 1862.
In one of my former letters you were in
formed Of an advance of the rebels. This is
true in some ways, but that advance was for
the purpose of impeding the progress Of our
troops by blowing up and otherwise destroy
ing the railroad tunnel, some eighteen miles
from Green River, ard also tearing up the
railroad track for miles. Neither this nor salt
will save the villains, as our bridge is almost
finished it will be ready for crossing over
it on Sunday.
Our troops are all in the very best condi-
ton. Those regiments where any sickness
prevailed are now doing well. A rumor of
Buckner's advance healed them all up. 1t
did more good in rousing the men than all
the surgeons in the army. The wind was
high, the soldiers were high-in fact every
thing in and about camp was high last even
ing, In my letter of yesterday, you were
informed of our hard fare, or the poor pros
pect of having any thing hut rough rations
for our New. Years dinner-and as Crippen
and myself were making our way back from
Mumfordsville to Bacon Creek, as hungry
as hawks, some blessed spirit brought to my
memory the fact that Mr.. Metcalfe, of the
Spencer House, was appointed sutler to the
Louisville Legion; therefore,, | wended my
way as fast as my horse could carry me,
until l reached the desired haven
Well, will say nothing of the dinner but
simply that it was the best I've had ever
since this campaign commenced; every thing
that man could wish for was there 10 abund-
ance., Mr.. Metcalf looks more like one of
our Teutonic friends across che Rhine, than
any man I've seen out here, he having gained
26 pour 6s since he left Cincinnati, makes n
regular Dutchman of him. His store is well
supplied with every thing needed by the
soldiers. Mr.. Thomas, formerly of Kinney,
Espy Co.'s Bank, and now of Col. Harris 8
Regiment, has also a neat tray and we'll ar
ranged Sutler store; he has every thing from
a cambria needle to q mountain owitzer for
sale, and sells at moderate prices. He is de-
servedly popular amoGg the men. besuti-
ful flag was presented to the Thirteenth
OHIO, few days ago, by Lieut.. Col. Haw-
kiDs' lady, in behalf of the citizens of Miami
County, Ohio.
Mrs. Hawkins delivered a neat and
patriotic speech, which was responded to by
the gallant Colonel Smith, commander of
the regiment, in mastery style. There
were two horses stolen from the officers of
the Thirteenth few days ago, one from
Adjutsnt Frank Jones, which was presented
to him few days ago by Jones Bros. & Co.,
on Pearl-street, and the other from Colonel
Smith. Both horses we're supposed to have
been stolen by two deserters. The news
worth chIoniclirg has about past now, but
as soon as we cross the river you may expect
some interesting items. We are about hav-
ing a terrible rain to dsy-it is raining no W,
and we are looking out for muddy camp.

this city by telegraph up to half past two

in each Issue of the PREsS all the telegraph

When there lie any reliable news it will be
found in our columns; when there is not, we
shall not impose upon the public with man

THOSE who hoard specie, or hold it for
speculative purposes, will probably miss a
figure in their calculations, for there is a
great abundance of specie in the country,
and particularly of silver coin. Hoarding
specie for the purpose of selling it is mean
business at the best, but when it tends to
make an artificial scarcity at crisis like the
present, it is unpatriotic as we'll as mean.
Keep the specie moving, and business will
be in no degree hampered by the suspension
of the banks.

HnuIand Bent Upou war at An Risks.

lFrom the Liverpool Poat.l
We must not deceive ourselves; we are on
the eve Of war with America, TO be fol-
lowed, perhaps, by general war in Europe.
All the circumstances tend TO one at least of
these results. The affair of the Trent merely
caused the explosion Of prepared mine.
There existed q mutual ill-feeling between
the two countries, and an Inconvenience was
therefore felt In the civil war which gem
eral war, or the threat of one, would remove.
The precipitancy of our own Government
indicated foregone conclusion; and the
presumption, almost the certainty of that
conclusion, was based upon knowledge of
facts known in Downing-street and not
known out Of it. This inference only can
explain the proceedings of the last fortnight.
Great Britain was not, could not be, afraid
Of the North Americans. They are power
less for assault, they are incapable of offering
what properly could be called resistance.
Canada was certainly not in danger, for
what had Lincoln to do in the North, when
he had more than enough to do in the South2
In no other point could an invasion concern
us, and the obvious sequence is that we need
not have been in any hurry to make de-
monstration by dispatching troops at this
unreasonable time. Government was in
possession ofinformation of which the public
knew nothing Of.

MURDER OF Two AMERICAN MISSIONARIES
IN CHINA.-Letters from Chefoo, of which
we have brief extracts in the English papers,
in dwelling upon the recent visitation of the
rebels in that vicinity, relate the following:
II appears that two American Missionaries
had, at an early stage of the proceedings,
gone away in the direction of the rebels,
either to urge clemency, as some supposed,
or TO see after the safety of gentleman,
brother to one of the Missionaries, who was
expected TO arrive about that time from
Tien.tsin, whence he was travelling overland.
He did arrive safely, but only to find that his
brother and his brothers friend had been
cruelty put to death by the rebels. The
bodies were broughtin on the 10Th, and they
bore undoubted marks of torture. The un {.
fortunate men were Messrs. Parker and
Holmes, and the unhappy widow of one of
them was at Chefoo when the tragedy oc-
cured.

The heavy tax levied on coffee, tea, mo.
lssses and sugar will not net enough to pay
the awful stealings of contractors and officers
in the army.
Colonels and others who have robbed the
Government, and in a measure created the
necessity for this tax, will be coming up for
office by and by, before the people. They
will have good time in getting votes. Every
teapot full of scalding water in their district
should be ready to receive them when they
mount the stump. They robbed the country
in its hour of trial, and they will be remem
bered when that hour has passed. Chicago

We have beautiful samples of cotton grown
in Champaign and Christian Counties this
season, where preparations are making TO
plant several thousand acres next season.
So far as we can learn, cotton has not failed
to fully mature in the central and south
part of the State at any time since the settle
ment of the country. Corn has yielded to
the laws of trade, and its place must be filed
by other products, and among these we may
count on sorghum, cotton, fax, and possibly
hemp, tobacco and castor beans. Fruit cui-

No Forfeiture of Debrs Ia Case of War.


By treaty stipulation between this Gov
ernment and Great Britain, the debts and
funds of individuals in the two countries are
not to be forfeited in case of war, but held in
suspense during hostilities and settled after
peace is re.established. This stipulation is
contained in the treaty of 1894, of which it
forms the tenth article, viz:
Neither the debts due from individuals of
the one nation to individuals of the other,
nor shares nor moneys which they have in the
public funds or in the public or private banks,
shall even in any event of war or national
differences be sequestered or con6scated, it
being unjust and impolitic that debts and
engagements contracted and made by indi,
vI6uals having confidence in each other and
their respective governments should ever be
destroyed or impaired by national authority
Cd account of national differences and dis
contents.
This treaty was carried out on the occa-
sion Of the war of 1872.

Preparations fer war Not to be stOpp,


Preparations for War Not to bo Stopped.
A London correspondent of the Manches-
ter Guardian, speculsting upon the proba.
bility Of peace or war, says:
The conviction forces itself upon many
that the day is not far distant when the
Southern Confederation must be recognized:
and that recognition may be expected to
bring about fresh difficulty, in which we
must be prepared to maintain our policy. 1t
is with this view, and as a demonstration OF
our intention to hold our own way, that the
Government is sending out ten thousand
men to Canada, without any reference to the
reply of the American Cabinet. If Messrs
Mason and Slidel landed at Liverpool to.
morrow, not soldier the less would be sent
out. If we are TO have a war with the
North, in connection with this United States
sChism, there could be no more favorable
time than the present. 1t would be q short
and decisive war, and would have vial in
huence on the preservation of peace and the
uninterrupted freedom of commerce for
many years TO come, without our having to
pass through the ordeal Of social and mer-
camille confusion which wars, as q general
rule, entail.
This hint should not be lost upon us. The
only security we can have against the hostile
spirit which England now manifests toward
this country, is to be fully prepared to meet
heraggressions. The same disposition which
makes her ready to take advantage of our
supposed weakness, will also make her re.
spect our acknowledged strength. The only
advantage she has over US now is in the num-
ber of her ships. That's an advantage which,
by proper industry on our part, we can ma
terially diminish in less than year. Steam
rams, iron clad batteries, strong steam frig-
ates like the Wabash, aud swift, strong steam
sloops. Of war, with the heaviest armament,
like those recently built, should be rapidly
constructed at all our public and private
yards. This will cost money, but hundred
millions of dollars laid out upon naval de-
fenses now will save us from the loss of five
times that amount, at any time when il
