New POSTAL CURRExcY.-The new
fractional postal currency, says Thompson'a
Bank Note Reporter, is to be one Of the
same denominations as the old, but instead
of being different sizes, they will be Of the
dimensions OF the present ten cent postal.
They are engraved in the highest styles of
art. and the colors, which are the distn-
gushing marks Of the different ralues, are
Of such chemical combination, it is assert
ed. as to defy photcgraphing. They are
printed on paper made BY secret process
in the Treasury Department, thinner than
that now in common use, and very much
cheaper. The advantage will consist large
ly in the fact that it il forty times stronger
than the paper now used, and can be wash
ed like piece of linen without in any way
injurisg the engraving. It photographs
dark brown instead Of white.

CINCINNATI. OcI

CINCINNATI, Oct. Sd
The Commercial has advices from Chat
tanooga to Saturday last. The estimate at
headquarters Of our losses in the battle Of
Chickanouga is 1900 killed, $500 wound
ed and :, a,500 prisoners; total, l3, 800. It
was the opinion that if the right wing had
held its owD, the result of the battle would
have been decisive Union victory. The
success of Gen. Thomas on the left Is much
greater than has been represented in any
published account Of the battle. Thomas
routed Longstreet's corps, and was in con-
dition to pursue the enemy but for the dis
organizations Of the right wing. No sur
prise fell on the army at the failure of the
enemy to renew the attack. The enemy's
loss is believed to be 10000. Our army is
in superb fighting trin-compact in organ
'za'ion, we'll supplied with provisions and
and full Of confidence.
