how be happened to swindle the Wis

Real Money Making.

The annual report of the Director of the
Philadelphia Mint, for the year ending
June goth, 1861, states that the amount
of bullion received and coined during the
year at the Mint and its branches in the
loyal States, exceeded that of any former
year. This, it appears, was duo mainly to
the unprecedently large amount of for
eign bullion and coin imported into the
United States from Europe.
During the year, the amount of bullion
operated on was rs follows:
Gold, sl16,97O,OO2, &C; silver, 81, ,624, :
96l,47; total, 1921, ,59+, +,964,23. This in
cludes, however, re-deposits to the amount
of s49,44s,30 20, which being deduced,
makes the actual deposits S72, LAG, SCI ,01.
The coins struck amounted TO S63, 40O.597
OF which sum s49,597,0 ,071 was the work
OF the Mint at Philadelphia.
Hhere was coined in the Branch Mint at
San francisco, California, Sl2, ,421 900 in
gold, and Sl9S,OOO in silver. ts .euJ
At the Assay Office. New York. fine
gold bars to the amount of SI9,947, ,72s.-
ss were made and stamped; also, $751;
O7S,63 in silver bars.
The Branch Mint at New Orleans, Char
lotte, N. c., and Dahlonega, Georgia were
robbed and held by the rebels.
The amount of specie in the United
States, Oct. 10th, the date of the report,
is estimated at from S223,0G0,000 to
SS00,00O,00O. OF this amount all but
about twenty millions, it is safe to assume,
held within the loyal States Of the Union.

Missouri Movements.

The Second OHIO Cavalry, Col. Double
day, are ordered from Camp Dennison to
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and the Kansas
First Col. Deizler, have been ordered from
Upton Mo-, to the same post where it is
rumored a formidable expedition for Texas
is to be organized under Major General
Hunter, with Brigadier Generals Denver
and Lane as subordinate. If so the Wade
and Hutehins trooper boys may get into
active service in few weeks among the
Texas Rangers. Nothing would better
suit them probably.
Important, movements are on foot nj
Rolla Missouri. The 25th of December
we had 5000 troops n: Rolla and General
Sigle and Curtis were both ordered there
On the 2sth $500 Cavalry left Rolla
with the apparent design of moving toward
Springfield by the most Southren route,
and at the first it was reported in st Louis
that 10000 Infantry were also leaving
The expedition may be destined for the
Mississippi river or Cape Girardeau but
the most plausible report is that the troops
are going to the southwest to route Price
out of Springfield and give him another
chase. Springfield is the key to the State
and the movement in that direction will
only be doing Fremont's work over again.
Better not have undone it.

The Rebel Evacuation of Gal.
weston Confirmed The Reason.

The Houston Telegraph, of the 2nd inst
states that Galveston has been evacuated
and the movable property, public and pri-
vate was being removed to Houston
Hon. w. P. Hill arrived at home a few
daysago, from whom we gain substantially
the.following facts:
On the goth ult., q council of war wa,
held, at Galveston, at which it was deter
mined that it was impossible to defend the
city successfully. The largest guns at the
fortification upon the Island were 80
Founders smooth bores having range not
exceeding two miles, while the enemy's
guns were of large calibre, shooting with
accuracy three or four miles. To await
attack was simply TO invite the surrender
or obstruction of our troops and the city,
without the power of inficting injury upon
the assailants. 1t was thought best there
fore, under all the circumstances, TO evac.
uate Galveston, and occupy position in
the rear of the city, so as to repel any ad-
vance of the Federal troops after they had
landed.
In consequence of this determination an
order was issued for the removal of all
the hospital patients from Galveston to
Houston, when Judge Hill left Galveston
The proprietor of the News had rented q
house in Houston and announced that his
next issue would be printed in that city
and all the other newspaper establishments
it is supposed have done the same. The
guns have been removed from the different
Qualifications, and the troops have fallen
back to the terminus of the railroad bridge
on the Island, still larger force stationed
at Virginia Point, on the mainland.
1t seems that General Herber has been
notified of a contemplated attack, but is
not advised as to the first point that may
be assailed.

Many of the most substantial and re
