The mastering officer passed up on the

Thursday last. The regiment is now
nearly or quite full. More companies
were offered than were accepted. Two
more companies would have formed here,
if the Governor would have granted
commissions. Ii is much easier to raise
a full company of one hundred men,

get an Office, or to assist in electing some
of their friends than it is L. raise ten

and sometimes in the vegetable kingdom,
we call Individual, a being unique, isola-
ted and circumscribed in its W nature.
Such is Aristes, such is Sylvia, in the
human species. Such is Bucephalus,
such is Rossinantes, in the species Of
horses, ct cetera Eus indiUidunI, sea-
ems in natura sua indiUisuT.
2. The C election of all the individuals
which have a nature consimilar in all that
natur requires as essential and funda-
mental, are a species.
In the animal kingdom, we call AMI
mails Of the same species, those among
which the union of the male and female
procreates a similar animal, capable of
being reproduced in the same way. We
call animals Of different species those
among which the union of the male and
female, either is impossible or never pro-
creates anything, or produces a mongrel
called mule, which takes after both par
ents. and which, united to his like, is
never reproduced.
3. A term which expresses, or an idea

Small Currency.

The premium on Gold and Silver has
driven almost all small change out Of
circulation. To meet this deficiency,
Government has provided the Postofice
currency ; but so great is the demand
that its existence is hardly noticed. In
answer to inquiries, it was telegraphed
TO Cincinnati a few days ago, that no
more could be furnished the West for
several months. In this emergency the
bankers of Ohio are discussing the pro-
Prity of issuing checks in denominations
of five, len, and twenty-five cents. The
law there is severe against issuing shin
plasters but they intend evading the law.
In this territory merchants, to meet the
wants of community, have issued dueblils,
in small sums, printed on cards sc. In
some places they have been indicted for
evadIng the law, but as the law is not
literally broken, and as the whole COM
munity is interested, we think the in
dictments will not amount to much.

Movements O stOnewau Jackson

NEW York, Nov. 27.-The Herala
says General Geary made another sue
cessful reconnaissance from Harpers Fer
ry yesterday, in which he destroyed a
cloth mill, and took possession of some
-four belonging to the rebels. It was
ascertained that Jackson's column moved
10 Front Royal on Saturday and Sunday,
ann returned to Winchester on Monday,
and from thence moved his army towards
the Ferry next day, and established his
headquarters between Wildwood and
Berryville.
Yesterday Sigel received information
through his scouts that Stonewall Jackson
was at UppervilIe near Paris, and Gen
eral Stuart at Salem, just beyond Thor
oughfare Gap, and that they have strong
pickels thrown out in every direction
The whereabouts of Jackson continues as
heretofore the most mystical affair.

From Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 26.-The situation
is more problematical than at last adVi-

and demonstrating in a way which affects
the late status that they were merely
feinting to cover the removal of supplies
and enforcement of the CONSUMPTION act.
The weight of military opinion is favora-

great battle in Middle Tennessee. If
there IS, it will be between TalIahoma

ST. LOUIS REPUBL1cAH.--In another
column we publish the prospectus of this
journal. We are gratifed to again mum.
Der it amnng our exchanges. 1t is ar
exceedingly conservative paper, yet even
1t has been impelled by the current OF
public opinion to progress a little. 1t now
denies being p~rO-slaUery 4; 1t is in favor,
however. of letting slavery entirely a.
lone. Il is extremely careful TO do no.
thing or favor no Measure that could pos
sibly either directly or indirectly injure
the peculiar institutiOn. The Republican
has always assumed a high tone, and, ap-
Parently, at least, treated all subjects
with candor. 1t is a pretty good index
of public opinion in Missouri. If Mis-
souri, should be largely and decidedly in
favor of canibalism or any other great
evil, the Republican would say no word
against il or if it did, it would be very
moderate and very dignifed in its re-
proaches. During the last Presidential
campaign, the Democracy of Mo. were
nearly unanimously for Douglas, the Re-
publican was, therefore, quite hostile to
the Breckenridge party and to secession
ism. But in the spring of '61, when II
was thought doubtful as to which side
Nc would take, when Claib Jackson, to
use his own words, was trying to take
the State out of the Union, or take her
her to HI" the Republican was waver-
ing-some Of It's articles bordering on
treason as much as it dare make them,
Again, when Fremont was assigned the
Department of Missouri, the Republican
condescended to give him its support, and
regretted that the President saw fit 10
remove him. But now, since it is part
of the democratic programme to laud
Mcclellan, and abuse Fremont, the Re-
publican does not hesitate to kick the
dead lion.

AAAAOA AhAaAGAOkA VA W
Rebel Arnly---Bur1side Conf
dent Of Success.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 30.-The people
of Richmond have been having another
panic for the last two weeks. The re-
moval Of Mcclellan and the rapidity of
Burnsid9's movement were the first
causes. AT the time of B~urnside's move
ment. Longstreet was in Richmond on
his way TO North C~arolina-the cam.
paign in Virginia being supposed to he
over for the winter. Part of his corps
were with him. They were put on the
works around Richmond at once, while
he took the cars for Fredericksburg to
hold the RappahannOck line if possible !;
and if not, to retard our movement till
Lee anne up. There are now from
1000 to $4,000 men in the works
aroud Richmond, and but $4,000 north
of there, including Lees and Jackson's
forces.
Jackson has been recalled, with Hill
and Stuart, from the Valley, TO form the
left flank of Lees army.
Jackson was opposed to coming, and
wanted to keep up a division of our for
ces by raids in Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, but vas overruled by Lee and
Davis. The Cabinet at Richmond have
ordered Lee to thrown his whole army
on the Rappahannock, and dispute every
foot of ground thence to the rebel capital.
They have plenty of raw provisions,
and millions pounds of beef, pork and
flour are accumulating at Richmond
Vessels with clothing are running the
blockade every week, but their army Is
still suffering terribly.
Numerous recent events have served
to inhame the Richmond panic, such as
Lees suddenly changing from the often
sive to the defensive /; his ~telegraphing
daily for more men to save the capital
petitions and appeals of their army for
clothing; General Dix's capture of their
on TIM Chickahominy the dis
covery that they have lost from $4,000
to 100000 men in the last 95 days by
battle, sickness and desertion, and midi
of slave instructions at HOLIDAYS.
Burnside and Government are believed
to have full acquaintance with these facts,
and Burnside regards his present force
ample for the work before him.
