the river by our army. 1t has been be-
lev, d here for many days that the rebels
were gradually falling back, up the val
ley Of the Shenandoah, Notwithstanding

There is being q great effort, by the
Bank combination, to disparage the cir

tru., Of Government money. But the
people DO not Sc it in that light, for We
