Confedernto CnrrencI.


The Confederatss are reduced to lsughs
bic shifts for circulating medium. A Cairo
letter says the stock of specie at Columbus is
entirely exhausted, or, to use the very sig
nifcant expression Of the informant, ''there
are not half dollars enough in Columbus to
hold down the eyelids Of those that die daily
in the hospitals" SO that they have resorted
to a very novel mode of making change. A
man goes to sshopkeeper, or sutler, and buys
half pound of coffee, for half a dollar, and
tenders a one.1ollar bill of some of the
Southern banks in payment but as the sell
Ter has no flour bits" for change, he tears
the bill in tive parts, keeps one and returns
the customer the other. When the customer
wants to spend the other half of his bill, he
goes to the same merchant, who takes it,
psstes the two halves together, and sends it
into the bank to be replaced by another.
The bills Of the State Bank of South Caro-
lima, the Tennessee banks and Confederate
scrip constitute all the Circulating medium"
ahoat, none Of which can be sold for over
fifty cents to the dollar for gold or silver.
The Tennessee banks have all gone to issuing
shinplasters.

The Mill Spring Fiaht

The more we hear from this affair, the
better it grows. Unlike most Of our former
victories, we had the worst irst-though the
first report was pretty good. This turns out
to be a big thiDg-a good thing-one of the

half being on each side of the river, the rout
of the rebels was all that could be desired.
Under the circumstances, Zollicoffer's forces
should have obtained our victory. But they
failed not only to obtain a victory, but to
retain their character. After fighting all
day they became panic-stricken, and organ.
lied foot race. They rushed to the river,
and got on "the other side of Jordan" as
best they could, leaving behind them their
camp tents, books, cannon, horses, and
eighty wagon loads of provisions The de-
feat Of Zollicoffer's army is matter of tie
first importance. 1t will dishearten the re-
bels not only in Kentucky, but other States,
and fall like thunderbolt on the house of
Davis & Co. Zollicoffer was in command of
one of the largest rebel armies in the West.
This army could not be defeated, therefore,
without affecting the others. All accounts
agree that our troops fought bravely, nobly.
1t is hoped that this success will be speedily
followed by others equally great, and that
the end, of which this is the beginning, will
soon be reached.

The Battle of MIL Spring.

A letter from Somerset to the Louisville
Journal gives few further interesting par
ticuIars Of the late fight at Mill Spring.
The Tenth Indiana led the advance against
the rebels and fought them for some time,
when McCook's Ninth Ohio and the Second
Minnesota charged upon them and drove
them back. From noon until about four P.
M. there was lull in the battle. Lieuten-
ant Miller, of Albany, Ky, attached to
Wolford's cavalry, was killed. General
Zollicoffer's entire uniform was taken off his
body in email pieces for trophies. His horse,
saddle and bride were captured. In the
heat of the melee ZollicofTer shot at Colonel
Fry twice, and wounded his horse when the
Colonel drew his pistol and mortally
wounded the rebel leader. Colonel DeCour-
cy's 10th Ohio Regiment arrived in the vi
cinity of Somerset on Sunday.

The COMMANDER In Kentucky.

General Buel, commanding the Depart
ment of the Ohio, seems to be the right man
in the right place. He issues no pronunciG.
Hentos, has no spies among his Generals nor
in his bed chamber, gives the enemy no no
tice of his plans, does not trumpet his COM
ing victories in advance, does not blow his
horn-but he Tins battles. During the brief
time that he has been in command of the
Department be has brought the half-armed
mob, which his predecessors left him, up to
the highest possible state of efficiency, has
had two engagements Of some moment, un-
heralded in both cases, and won them both,
and has now every thing ready for the gem

Humphrey Marshall a fortnight ago, he
gave him a much larger and better equipped
force than the rebels had-sDd the rout Of
the rebels and the possession of Prestonburg
was the result. When he sent General
Thomas TO form a union with General
Schoepf, be made sure that the force of these
two Generals should besuperior to the rebel
force; and these Generals knew a way of
drawing Zollieoffer out of his intrenccments;
and the defeat Of the rebels and the glorious
result at Somerset and on the Cumberland

confidence in BuePs future operations. The
ablest General in the South, General Albert
S. Johnston, is his opponent at Bowling

The following are the latest particulars
received concerning the recent brilliant
victory at Mill Springs, Kentucky. The
fight and its results turn out more important
and satisfactory than at first reported. We
copy from the report of General Thomas to
General Buel;
SoMERsBT, January 81.
The rout Of the enemy was complete.
After succeeding in getting two pieces Of
artillery across the river, and upward Of
fifty wagons, they were abandoned, with all
the ammunition in the depot at Mill
Springs. They there threw away their arms
and dispersed through the mountain by
ways in the direction of Monticello.
The property captured on this side Of the
river is of great value, amounting to eight
six. Founders and two Parrot guns, with
caissons filled with ammunition about one
hundred four-horse wagons, In pretty good
condition, and upward of twelve hundred
horses and mules; several boxes Of arms,
which have never been opened and from
five hundred to one thousand muskets, mostly
old hint-lock, but in good order; subsistence
stores enough to serve the entire command
for three days; also large amount Of hos
pital stores.
Our loss was 80 killed and 1877 wounded.
Among the wounded were Colonel McOook,
Ninth Ohio, and bis aid, Lieutenant Burte,
Eighteenth United States Infantry. The
loss of the rebels was Zollicoffer and ia
others killed and buried, ll6 wounded, and

Treason in High Places

The Washington Globe, of recent date,
states that on the day when the steam frigate
Pensacola ran the gauntlet of the rebel bat
teries on the Potomac, and before the usual
hour for communicating the countersign of
the day to our pickets opposite one of their
batteries, the rebel pickets boastfully shouted
the correct countersign across the river, and
added "The Pensacola is coming down to
night"
And is it a marvel that the enemy is thus
posted in every countersign and movement
oftbe army and navy, while the Departments
at Washington continue to be filled with
disloyal clerks2 That such is the case, the
report of the Potter Investigating Committee,
now being prepared for publication, will
conclusively show. The Committee, it is
understood, have come to the deliberate
judgment, after patient investigation, that
there are in the Departments at least five
hundred persons who are disloyal to the
Government, and would rejoice to witness
the success fthe Iebe lion. 1t is understood,
also, that the report will be very severe upon
one or two heads of Departments who have
thrown obstacles in the way of the Commit
tee in their efforts to ascertain the facts.
Heads of Departments, knowingly retain
ing clerks even suspected of disloyalty,
should be themselves shortened an official
head. In view of the treason in high places,
the Globe we'll remarks that ''if the war for
the Union fail, its failure will probably be
caused more by treason than by force of
arms" Purify the Departments of traitors

The accounts of the battle at Somerset,
Ky, concur in stating that it was the
bayonets of the bully Germans from Cincin-
nati-the Ninth Regiment Ohio Militia
that materially contributed to the decisive
victory. The bayonet is the cure for re-
bellion. The rose-water policy of playing at
war 60 that nobody is hurt has cost the
American people millions of dollars and too
many valuable lives. Now let the bayonet
be freely used along the lines of the Poto.

to New Orleans. Let the cannon roar

the bayonet. He said, "The bullet is a
