@ The rebels have been trying to man.
ufacture little temporary comfort out OF
the canard that Grant was retreating from
Chattanooga on Nashville, and was tear-
ing up the road behind him. WHIST
made him retreat, they did not seem
to make clear. The story is Of
no consequence, and probably there
were but few Ounces who believed it. Yet
there was time when every such story
was swallowed entire, through the whole
South. For the first year and a<ha1f, the
rebellion WAS fed on this sort of stuff Had
every newspaper in Dixie been edited by
Munc1arsen himself, the appetite for fool
ish fa1sehoods could not have been better
fed Rebel victories we're plenty as black
berries, and outdid Waterloo in blood and
b1illiancy. But the thing was orerdone at
length. Tie truth kept creeping in through
the meshes in their network Of lies, and
brought their organs into discrcdis with
their dupea And so at length their news
papers have been forced, not through shame
but through the uselessness of lying, into
the practice Of telling some truth Andit
is ore bf the benefits of the war to the
southernipeople, that they are being driven
into the necessity Of knowing and speak.
ing tie truth. For Of all the tall lying the
world ever saw, no men or nation ever had
chance TO imagine such, for amplitude
and intensity, for variety and continuous
ness, for meanness and uselessness, aE
formed the condition Of things in the lane
called Dixie, in the times when the rebel
lion houriehed. To. educate a people il
truth is worth war; and when fact set
up its reign in the South instead Of sham
the war will be ended.

Mo1pAT EVENING, Dec g. 1853
The money market opened to-day with an tu-
mense demand-far, in fact, above the ability OF
Tie bankers 10 supply. "Shinnins" was rife and.
with tome parties, rampant Every thing seems
to promise very close week but when once tho
fret and forrth are passed, some relief may bo
expected. 0fcourse the payments Of the fourth
must be made On Saturday with holiday the day
previous, and notes to be paid in New York must
be remftted for on The first to be entirely safe.
With the close money market and Sunday and the
first Intervening, those who have notes to pay are
likely to have pretty active time Of It. Ofcourse
customers get ali the accommodations that can be
afforded them at 10 per cent, but others have to
pay on sliding ecale upward.
New York Exchange is firm and close and the
demand heavy The buying price Is X, selling to
customers x. We presume outsiders hayo to psy

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. II. 1853.
The suggestion Of compromise in Gen,
Schofeld's case by which he is to be removed
from command Of this department on condi-
ton of being confirmed into Major General
is Infamous. It is quite Us bad as the story
circulated here few days ago that Gratz
Brown was Blair man, and had promised to
vote to confirm Schoield. Schodeld's record
is pro-slayery from beginning to end. He has
never made concession to the real cmancl-
patton party Of this State that WAS not wrung,
from him By an order from the War Depart
nent, and the attempt to make any capital in
his behalf BY different statement Is not only
absurd but criminally false, It could not be
otherwise Schoffeld has been completely
under the thumb Of such patriots as Gov.
Gamble. Austin A. King, James 7. Rollins,
Willard r. Hall and others, who have proven
their devotion to the interests of s1avery In
an hundred w,ayE. The recent developments
in the matter Of enlisting negro soldiers
should satisfy any true Onion man that Scho-
field vas not the man for Missouri.
Further testimony has been received con-
cerning the contemptuous manner in which
the subordinate Provost Marshals In the into
rior have treated the order to enlist negroes
under instructions from the War Depart
ment- Taking this testimony In connection
with the rapid diminution in the number OF
negroes arriving here, aud it cannot be snc-
cessfnlly coptrovcrted that the policy Of the
Department here has defeated the cause Of
the Government. 4 General truly anxious
to further this issue, would soon find way
to stop the establishment of armed patrols
Of shareholders on public roads In the 1nte~
rior to prevent negroes going to recruiting
tn 1<%fn Yrt6z
here yesterday that wagon load of negroes
was passed on the road to Huntsville, tied
and handcufcd, In charge Of their owners
and owners agents, being carried back to
slavery. AL this for the awful crimo Of try
ing to reach recruiting officer and enlist II
Of this practice are IN the hands Of tho au-
thotities, and yet nothing has been done to
redress these wrongs. How Gen. Schofeld
can escape the odium Of the future while
heretofore claiming the praise Of success, is
beyond present comprehension, though the
{ss boesticks calls it) to claim anything.
4 little speek Of interest Inns occurred re-
Gently in Southeast Missouri, caused By re-
port that Col. Reeves, NJ old time guerilla,
had advanced as far north as CentrcTille, In
Reynolds county, twenty-five miles west of
Pilot Knob, and is gobbling up Union men as
conscripts for the rebel army. Reeves has
successfully concealed his men from tho eyes
Of Col LiEingston's cayalrJ brigade. which
late1y passed through southeast Missouri
1tom Pilot Knob to Focahontas. Our caval-
~ from Paterson and Houston are trying to
cnt Off his retreat; but past experience hns
demonstrated the utter rimpossibiltty Of catch
ing q handful of mounted men bent on es-
cape, who know Ill the roads and are In gym
palhy with the few people remaining In the
country. This little raid Of Reeyes' derives
It's Importance only from the fact that his
gang is Just now the only organized rebel

FROM THE ARMY OF TIE
POTOMAC.
He-enlrstmeut Of Veterans Going on
Hriskly.

uEApQCARTERs SID DIVISION, 6Tn CoRrs,
ARMT OF THE POTOMAC, Dec. u, 1868.
Nothing beyond the continued departure OF
fur1ougbed men, who hare re-cn1isted in un-
expected numbers, has broken the lethargy
that prevails throughout the army.
Eight paymaste1B, under the charge OF
Major Oakley, arrived at army headquarters
last evening for the. purpose Of paying of all
those troops who hare. re.enlIsted in the
veteran regiments. One million dollars In
greenbacks accompanied them, and one mil
lion more will arrive tomorrow. They will
commence paying the men tomorrow. Ma
1or Staples will pay off the entire cavalry
force. Up to last evening Is, 600 men had re-
enlisted, and by next week It is expected that
tho number wilI be increased to 80, coo. The
gallant 9Th corps, Major General sedgwick,
maintains its prestige untarnfshed, 1900
fighting men having already enlisted from its
ranks.
Re-enlistments under the veteran order are
rapidly going on. Scores Of regiments have
been remustered into the service, and every
day increases tho number. Every regiment
In Kfpatrick's cavalry division coming under
the order has re-enllsted.
Orders to open the oyster, fish, poultry,
game and canned milk trade will supply
want long fclt by the army. Small cans Of
condensed milk have hitherto been sold by
suffers for from sixty cents to one dollar per
can, and other army lu1uries in proportion.

A weather-wise Englishman prophcsies
stormy Christmas. He breaches theory
that ffty-fonr years constitute complete
cycle for the prevailing winds, and that in
each such cyc1e there are three such periods
eoch Of four yea1s-of deficiency Of east
wind, and the same number Of excess Of east
wind. 1S06-1e09, if We may believe this Bri-
tish Maridian, formed period Of excess oi
west wind, and sc 16G0-1S63. With 1864 will
begin period Of excess Of east wind.
