WHAT THE RUSSIAN MINISTER THINKS OF OUR

NJ S,oeckl. the Russian Minister, after watching
our troops as they marched past on their Way 70
Rockville the other night said that we had the ino
army in the world bu, that no soldier could do his
duty who carried so much luggage on bis person.
Twice as much lie said, as Russian solder was
allowed to carry, aud far more awkwardly aud IN
conveniently placed than his load

THE BATTLE OF SATURDAY WEEK.
The Richmond D,sPatcA speaks Of the battle Of
Saturday week as " one Of the most decisive and
glorious trumrls o.; the present War" and adds

least FIVE 10 our one
The Dispatch prophecies that " al no distan. day

than even the last
The Dispatch Of the 9th says: "We saw .ee-
graphic dispatch to surgeon il this city yesterday
which stated thar Gen. ESell is at Buckland Prince
William County, doing well"
Rebel journals say that at Manassas we lost eight
cannon aud 10 900 prisoners.
SPECTATORS AT WORK.
SPECTATORS in goods in this city have commenced
their operations since the late battles, and as
sisted to make money by foolish people who rush
70 buy now for fear the Potomac may be blockaded
again, or the railroad 10 Baltimore cut. Flour
FOR example, which three or four days ago cold FOL
6 per barlel, now demands $40 10 $40 80.
Butter which sold for - cents now sells for 81
and 81 cents. Sugars went up in one day four and
five cents per pound and other things in proportion
An inferior quality Of wood is sold for one dola1
more a cord than week ago. and coal has gone VI
about fry cents and one dollar per tun.
The ISSUE OF SMALL BILLS AND POSTAGE CUR
RENCi.
The Treasury Department has received and dis.
Jursed, up to to-day, 81 notes to the amount Of
sls2. 900, 81 notes to the amount Of $685. o0 and
postage currency TO the amount Of $2S7 800. Those
who blame the Secretary Of the Treasury for tardl-
ness in ssuing the last-naned show their ignorance.
The bills are manufactured under the direction OF
the Post-Oifce Department. which has failed to fur
uish on the average than half the neager guam
tty it promised. Little, if any, more Will be issued
from the Cashiers Office here the law not requiring
it, and Washington having already got more than
its share.
The demand is, however, far from satisfied as was
proved by the length of the crowd this morning
which stretched from the desk down tie street, and
for eouue di.fance dnvn the sidewalk.
