CoRREcrIoN.-In Saturdays issue we gave
an account of the operations of TIE counter
feiters in this city, in passing $500 bills on the
Central Bank, Worcester, and stated that the
two men stopped at the Preble House and
registered their names as Daniel B. Pond and
N. Elliott of Woonsocket, r. l. This informa-
tiou we obtained at the Police office, and it
appears that great injustice has been done two
worthy men.
1t is true the gentlemen above named
stopped at the Preble House. But their bust
ness was widely different from that of the
counterfeiters. They are respectable lumber
merchants in Woonsocket, and visited this
State for the purpose of making purchases.
Mr.. Pond returned to the city Saturday eve
ming. His partner, Mr.. Elliott, has gone to
Calais to make purchases in that market. 1t
is to be regretted that such mistake should
occur, and that the names of worthy gentle
men should be COMPOUNDED with those of great
rogues.

What kind of Democrats, we would ask, are
they? Jefferson Democrats, or Burr Demo-
Gratis? jackson Democrats, or Calhoun Dem
ocrats? Douglas Democrats, or Breckin-
ridge Democrats? Lewis Cass Democrats, or
Howell Cobb Democrats? Or are they jeff
Davis, Mason, Slidell, Floyd, Yanccy, yallan-

these men call themselves Democrats, and
most of them inaugurated, fostered and
are carrying on the rebellion against the

General Burnside left for Fortress Monroe
to-day.
Enough money has been placed In the hands
Of the Paymaster General to pay the army to
March LIST.
Three hundred and seventy released prison.
ers arrived from Richmond to-day. One oil
them is very intelligent-Mr. Leeds. of Gin
cinnati, and New Orleans pilot. He men
tiols the steady and significant removal of
machinery for manufacturing ordnance and
small arms from Richmond to northern Geor-
gia The removal of ordnance stores in large
quantities has also been going on for some
time. The possibility Of the transfer of the
seat of war below Virginia Is recognized by
the authorities at Richmond.
Upon the interesting point of the duration
of the war; Mr.. Leeds said it might last six
months after the next crop, but he thought it
would be ended with that clop. Ii Vicksburg
should be taken, it would end almost immedi-
ately. for the armies would be cut off from
their supplies Of meat, which are in Texas
He said that every pound of meat eaten in the
Richmond prisons comes from there. He
mentioned a conversation between Gen. Win
der and another officer, well authenticated, in
which Gen. Winder said the war would be
ended by August.
Mr.. Leeds declares there is general feeling
among the soldiers from all the Southern States
favorable TO ending the war and returning to
the Union. The prisons in the South are full
of deserters, awaiting trial by court martial.
Military executions are so common as TO cease
being commented upon by the papers. Cen
erals Which aud Stoughton and seventy-five
officers Of various grades are In the Libby
prison. Seventeen Of our officers, held as hos
tages for Searvona, the French lady. are at
hard labor in the penitentiary at Richmond.
An Englishman named Dobson was arrested
to-day, near Point of Rocks, Md. He is charg-
ed with carrying mail, information and other
contraband matter TO the rebels. His admis-
sions as to his acquaintance have renewedly
led suspicion to several prominent residents OF
Washington, who have not heretofore been
above it.
