New York specials-RepOrted Rebel
Movements-The Rebels Retreating
Meade rursuing-Change in the
CONSUMPTION Law.

New YORK, October 20-The Post
Washington letter has rumor that one
corps of Lees army has gone to Chatta-
nooga, but there are no actual facts
upon which to make such statement
There is talk in military circles of the
early repeal of the $500 section of the
consumption act by Congress This will
be urged in December, and it is not i'm
probable that in the next draft that ex-
emption by money will be impossible
Some persons advocate fixing the ex-
emption price as high as 5000 or even
81 800, and providing that drafted men
who go to the army shall receive the
money so raised in their district.
This cheme is said to have originated
with Mr. Chase.
Especial to the Post.1
WASHINGTON, Oct 20--Everything is
looking cheerful this morning.
Gen Meade is in rapid pursuit of the
Rebels, who have already retreated be-
yond the Rapidan.
1t is thought that Grant will take the
place of Rosecrans
1t will be remembered that Gen. Grant
arrived at Cairo some days ago from
Vicksburg.
1t is impossible to arrive at the truth
of this report.

BRUsHNG UP--We are glad to see
that our business men and property
holders are improving the appearance of
our city by a liberal use of the painter s
brush.
This not only affords employment to
our skiiiful mechanics, but it gives an
air Of neatness and Iveliness to our city
and also preserves the buildings
There may be some old fogy or sore
headed envious grumbler, who believes
a city of log cabins or mud huts, are the
best emblems of a virtuous and
prosperous people, but those who pro-
gress with the age, will, we think, agree
with us, that handsome architecture and
liberal use of Linseed oil and white
lead and other coloring bases, is more
indicative of industry and energy.
Among the buildings now receiving a
new dress, we notice the Altman Block
corner of First and Sycamore street,
which, VIXEN finished, will present a mag
nifcent appearance.
