The Rebel EnIIstments. I.

The New York WorlRs Washington cora
respondent says:
There is a misapprehension throughout
the country with regard to the time in which
the rebel enlistment expires. There were
not more than ten thousand troops-that is,
regular tWelve.months troops-in the South
at the time that Sumter fell. The present
rebel army has been organized since that
time, contemporapeously with our own. A
few regiments, which will disband between
now and May will not seusibly diminish
the efficiency of the army, so far as num-
bers are concerned but it is known that
troops whose term of enlistment is nearly
expired will not fight with the same
srdor as those whose military career is
before them This fact we learned, to our
cost, at Bull Run. If the war should be
prolonged to May, the defective organization
of the Rebel army will become of use to us,
but until that time we must expect to meet
them in as great numbers as heretofore. In
connection with this matter it is we'll to state
that now it is known that the total effective
force of the Rebel army can not exceed three
hundred thousand men. The Rebel news
papers admit that they have only arms for
two hundred and twenty-five thousand men,
comprising old flint-lock muskets that were
stolen from the United States arsenals and
not more than fifty thousand English rifed
muskets, which we now know are not an
effective weapon. Against this Rebel force
We will have an army of six hundred thou
sand men, as well armed and equipped as
any troops in the world. When the fight
commences it will be found not only that
our troops are better armed, but that we have
at least two cannons to the Rebels one on
every field where we engage them.

The Proposed Reduction of the Pay Of
Policemen,


A proposition was submitted to Council
last Wednesday evening, by Mr.. Weasner, to
reduce the salaries OF the various city off,
GERS, including reduction of the per diem
now paid to policemen, from 81 60 to 81 20.
We very much doubt the policy of this move
ment, at least so far as policemen are con-
cerned. These officers are the guardians of
the cty-they protect the lives and property
of our citizens-and sufficient competency
should be allowed to secure the services of
men of integrity and discretion.
In consequence OF the general staguation
in all kinds Of business, men have recently
applied for and obtained the position Of a
police officer who, in ordinary times, would
not have been justified in accepting the place.
Consequently Cincinnati has, perhaps, at
this time a more intelligent police force than
at any time previous to the commencement
of our national troubles. 1t is probable that
a reduction of their pay would cause the
resignation of many of the best officers, aud
therefore, in our opinion, it would be better
to let well enough alone, and continue the
present pay of policemen, which does not
seem to us to be very extravsgant.

Condition OF sOuth east Missouri.


A correspondent of the st. Louis Repubi-
can says:
For weeks past, and during the rest of
winter and coming spring, only the main
roads have been and will be passable through
the country where Thompson operates. A
small number of cavalry could entirely con-
troll these roads. JEFF. Thompson seldom
makes an excursion but what he strikes at
double the distance away from home and aid
that the proposed body OF Union police
would do.
know numbers of officers that, if given
their commissions on the success OF ridding
the small number of men, would be willing
to stake country at once from the predatory
bands of thirty or forty that now infest it.
The reduction of Columbus will not, as many
suppose, compel the desperadoes to retreat
sothwsrd Instantly. There is still doubt out
that Thompson's army is virtually broken
up and dsbanded. Only few choice spirits,
embracing the officers, still cluster around
their leader. Hundreds of the worst char
acters that fruitful Arkansas ever brought
forth are scattered abroad; with nothing 10
lose, and 80 far, little to fear, they go out to
devastate and murder, preying alike on those
of Secession or Union views.
Southeast Missouri already resembles
Texas in the days when outlaws ruled, and
| lyEch law alone protected the hesrth-stone,
and a short shrift and rope, with the power
10 offer them, will drive the invaders away,
and should Columbus fall the farmers will
| themselves assist TO defend their homes. In
the late expedition two thousand infantry
and four OF five hundred cavalry were en-
gagged. To meet this imposing force were
two or three small gangs of halfstarVed
Wretches, whose principal boast is that o.
absorbing an unlimited quantity of whisky
and rain without injury, and who could hide
in the thickets or play leisurely around, Will,
our army plunged desperately along through
| water and mud.

Fears are entertained by many that the
ice crop will fail this winter. There has been
no ice fit to pack, and we are now in the

stable aud ftful spells that have prevailed

coursgment, however, from the fact, that on

The bill making Treasury-notes legal
tender has passed the United States House
of Representatives, and will probably pass
the Senate. It is supposed by many that
the Constitution expressly prohibits Congress
making any thing but gold and silver legal
tender; but such is not the case. The pro-
hibition extends only to "the States" conse"
quently Congress, it would seem, has at least
an implied power to make Treasury.notes a
lenpal tender.

ONE of the most striking traits Of the men
composing the Union army, and one which
must attract the attention of foreign govern
ments, is that which is to be found in the
remittance of very large proportion of their
pay to their families. We venture to say
that the world has never witnessed any thing
like it. 1t marks the character of the ma
terial which composes our army as distinctly
as if written in letters of gold.

VAN WYoK's CORRUPTION REPoRr.-One of
the thickest octave volumes ever printed is
the report of the Special Committee of Con-

published. 1t is a big book and very bad
one-that is, if the badness of book, like
that of an individual, is to be judged from
the amount of rascality 1t contains. II is a
record of vice and villains in the gross and
in the detail, !iShtened here and there by the
appearance OF some honest contractor or hon
orsble man. Fraud appears in almost every
thing, from the building Of fortificstions and
the purchase of steamships, down to the
ture OF his shirt.
