ExPLANATIoN.-The United States Mar
shall at the recent sale of contraband goods,
advertised and sold certain articles which
were not in fact present at the sale. The
reason is this: portion of those goods
were bacon, butter and cheese, perishable
articles, which, by being kept until the time
of the sale, would have become nearly
worthless; also four mules, which it would
have cost two dollars week each to have
kept, There were in the lot of goods thirty
swords, captured at this place by Col Wood,
originally intended for the rebels in Mem
phis. These were sold by the Surveyor of
the port to our own officers of the oath and
25th regiments, for the snm of Sl46.
The above articles were knocked off bv
the Marshal at nominal prices, but the
money for which they had been sold was
for to the Marshal by the Sur
veyor.

b2P Gen. Wallace with about 1000
men made an excursion into the interior,
the other day, in order to intercept a rebel
force that was moving throu gh the country
evidently bent on mischief. Although his
troops made forced march, they were un-
able to catch "the slippery cusses." The
General himself, at the head of couple Of
hundred cavalry, pushed ca ia advance of
his infantry some ten miles, and, some what
to his surprise, stumbled on about 1000
rebels. The first warning he had of their
proximity was the discharge os gun.
The rebels were also taken by surprise, and
retreated with the utmost precipitation and
alarm. Gen. Wallace was too prudent to
attack them with his little band, and be-
fore his infantry arrived they succeeded n
making good their escape

bg We are assured bysnewspaper cor
respondents for the hundredth time that
the Green River Bridge, is at last approach
ing completion, and will be done in "few
days" If there are grounds to indulge a
reasonable hope that it will be completed
this winter, we are willing to ignore the
notifying fact that its construction has
occupied sufficient time to have bridged
the Mississippi. Why the force in that
vicinity did not put up the bridge in ten
days, is part Of the unwritten history of the
war We are told that when the bridge
is completed, we shall hear of rapid ad-
vance. Let US possess cur souls in pa
thence. In the meantime, Floyd has rein
forced Bowling Green with force not less
than 10000 strong IF the rebels are de-
feated at Bowling Green, it will not be for
want of sufficient time to perfect all their
arrangements.

Gen. Wallaee's Exploit near Padu-
cab
PADUcAH, KY, Dec. 80, 1861.

PADUcAH, KY, Dec. 80, 1861. be-
EDIToR JOURNAL On last Saturday
evening at IL o'clock, about four hundred
cavalry under the command of Gen. Wal
lace, left Paducah upon accommodating
expedition, in the direction of Camp Beam
regard which is about forty miles from
this place and twenty miles from Columbus.
Deserters came in here last week and re-
ported that the rebel forces at Beauregard
had gone to the assistance of Buckner at
Bowling Green, and it was part of the de-
siga of the expedition to learn what force
ha dbeen left at Camp Beauregard.
Gen. Wallace accomplished this, but upon
his return was overtaken yesterday morn
ing al Viola, little village about eighteen
miles distant, by an overwhelming force Of
rebel infantry and cavalry. Gen. Wallace
slowly retired before the onset of the enemy
to a little creek this side of the village,
where he made stand and drove the rebels
back with great slaughter. Gen. Wallace
then sent to Paducah for re-enforcements,
which Gen. Smith sent forward Immediately
upon the receipt of the news.
Gen. Wallace's cavalry are armed with
Minnie rifles
Lieut.-Col Robinson, Lieut.. Hays, the
Surgeon, and the Chaplain, Of the 18th
Indiana regiment, am informed, are with
the expedition.
Great fears are entertained here that the
handful of troops will be surrounded and
cut to pieces by the rebels, before the ar
rival of the re-enforcements. A part OF
I the 18th Indiana regiment, with the Chica-
go artillery, left here under the command
of Maj. Elston, jr., at IL o'clock yesterday,
and the remainder of the regiment, under
the command of Col. McGinnis, at 3 o'clock
P NJ, on the cars. Gen. Smith was at the
depot apparently much excited and laboring
to hurry the troops forward.
Dec. 3I.-P S. 1t is reported this morn
ing that Gen. Wallace has been killed, and
his entire force cut to pieces or captured.
December 81, o'clock P. MA messen-
ger has just arrived from Viola, who reports
that Gen. Wallace drove the enemy back
with the loss of but two men, and that the
rebels commenced precipitate retreat long
before the arrival of our re-enforcements.

b. If the Trent affair has the effect to
influence the government, in the same man
ner it has the people, we may congratulate
the country upon Captain Wilkes exploit.
The masses, while they coincide with the
views expressed by Mr.. Seward in relation
to the surrender of Mason ana Slidell, at
the same time demand that the rebellion
which has fingered along through six months
of inactivity, should be at once crushed
Our soldiers are now in mood TO deal
with the instruction as it justly deserves
and they only wait the command, "For-
ward The volunteers are mostly men Of
intelligence, who understand the bearing Of
this Trent question, and they realize the
fact, that W have been humiliated by Eng
land and that tie direct cause of this hu-
initiation is the rebellion. All that is asked
now, is to give the army an opportunity to
wipe out the past, by inaugurating a series
of victories from Fortress Monroe, to the
Mississippi. We believe that the hour of
action is near at hand. For the honor of
the country and the flag, we hope it is not
far distant When it arrives we have no
fear of the result for the existence of the
only free Government on earth win be at
stake, and in the contest, the Power that
hitherto hath followed and sustained this
nation since the days of the Pilgrims, will
vindicate the justice of our cause and give
victory to our arms.

B We learn that a Capt. Bales, who
has made himself quite notorious in South
ern Kentucky by persecuting Union men,
stealing their property and maltreating them
in various ways was killed on Friday last
One of his men left his company for some
reason, probably because he was tired Of the
company he was in, and desired to lead a
new life. Bales went to the house of the
deserter, expecting to find him there. Be
inc disappointed in obtaining the object of
the wife of the soldier-insulting her most
grossly. Shortly afterwards the man met
Bales, and deliberately shot him dead in his
tracks. He then made his escape to Shaw

The GAME OF BLUFF.-The following ex-
tract from a lac New Orleans letter is de-
cidedly rich. Four hundred cannon and
so 600 troops, with 1000 more expected !
But read the letter. Il runs as follows, and
is dated the 18th ult:
Three large steamers have run the block
ade the past week, and have taken fuli car
goes of cotton. Schooners are leaving for
Havana nearly every day The messase
of Mr.. Lincoln came through by express,
and was published in an extra.
There are over four hundred cannon
mounted in the Notifications defending the
city. We have over 10000 ~ troops, and
expect 20, 600 more from the country.
No distress exists even among the poorer
classes in the cry, as they are well provided
for by the free market
Houses are selling for thirty per cent.
more than formerly. Bank and other stocks
are also advancing The banks will declare
larger dividends than usual. There are
$50, 10000 on deposit in these institutions.
Produce and other goods are on the decline.
The war has thus far has cost only $780,
100000, SO great have been the private
contributions
At an exhibition given at the opera, by
the ladies, last week, the sum netted for the
soldiers was $3,876.
The ST. Louis Hotel has been converted
into a grand bazaar to raise money for the
troops. Ladies are giving their diamond
pins, bracelets, and other valuables, for the
object. Instead of making purchases for
Christmas presents. they buy tickets and
give them away. 1t is believed that the
fair will be great success.

SO It will be seen by our dispatches
that Mason and Siideh are gone at las t
having left Providence, R. I, on the Brit
ish gunboat RinaldO, last Wednesday. 1t
is a significant fact that on the night of
their departure the coast was visited with
one of the most severe gales experienced for
years 1t will be an unexpected settlement
of the Mason and Shdell controversy if the
Rinaldo should have foundered in the gale.
Drowning like rats in Long Island Sound
would be rather a commonplace death for

boosted that they pay gold for all supplies
taken, have large amount of bogus coin
in circulation. 1t seems to have been made
at the New Orleans mint, as both the
stamping and milling are complete, but the
material is some worthless metal galvaniz-
