On Monday General Cooper issued an order
to Captain Burr TO furnish transportation for
200 exchanged prisoners from Columbus to
Nashville, Tennessee Accordingly, the Cap.
tain made arrangements with Mr. }. w.
Doherty, of the Little Miami Railroad, to
furnish the requisite cars, and telegraphed to
Captain Dickerson, Of this city, 70 see that
steamboats, were employed to transport them
down the river. On Tuesday afternoon Cap.
tain Burr was informed that there were not
more than coo men who could be mustered,
and the number was constantly diminishing.
The local OF the State Journal visited the de-
pot in the evening, to see how many Colonel
Tafel could muster, and found him in com
mand of just about 300 men The authori-
ties were unwilling to forward special train
wilh so small force, go they were detained
till o'clock yesterday morning, when they
were attached to the regular passenger tain.
This affair develops the fact that at least 700
soldiers (f) Of the l04th Illinois and the lO6th
and lO8th Ohio, have deserted between the
time of issuing the order, on Monday, and the
departure of the train yesterday morning.

A Nice speculation.

1t IS said that the select few in Philadelphia
New York and Boston, whom the administra
ton has chosen as the special reoipients,oI its
choicest favOrs, realized the snug little sum OF
$500, 600 or SoO0,000 by being apprised, q lit
tie IN advance OF the rest Of mankind, that
Mr. Secretary Chase intended to pay the S.,
100000 due this month in specie. Under the
Impression generally prevailing that the pay
ment would be made in paper, they bought up
the government bonds at a low figure. These
lellows-the ship brokers, the army con
tractors the paymasleFs, the postmastets, in
'stort, the whole tribe Of treasury cormorants
are in favor of the emancipation policy and
long war. The people are for peace-peace
on any. lair and honorable terms, embracing
the integrity of the Constitution and the
Union. But what are the people in the esti.
nation OF those who now administer the GOV
ernmenR The sovereigns and the Constitu-
tion are alike brushed aside as cobwebs, or
trampled as dung beneath the iron shod hoofs
OF the Abolition war horse, whose Aanks are
crimson with the blood of white men sacrificed
on the CORY altar OF negro emancipation.
Peace to this administration is death. 1t clips
the wings of the war power, it bars the
treasury against thieves, it retains, in spite of
the proclamation, the African in his local stat.
