APPRECIATION. The rebels are not
only coming TO an appreciation of the
fighting qualities of northerners, but are
beginning also to advise the authorities to
stake few hints in the practical depart
ment of fin ance from such consummate
adopts in this intricate business" as those
having charge of the federal treasury
They cannot help exaggerating somewhat
IN the comparison Of their debt with ours
Besides, we suspect that If Secretary
Chase had the rebel, instead of the feder-
al treasury to manage, he would find it
concern requiring even more than his
financial ability to keep long ahoat. But
it is healthy indication that the rebel
chiefs are beginning to perceive that they
are not vastly superior to the rest of man
kind in all things. The RichHond Elk
aminer says:
'The consequence has been very mark
ed for, whereas, the federal war debt ex-
ceeds two thousand millions of dollars
and that of the ccnfederacy has not
reached one thousand millions, yet confed-
crate currency is at discount of ten or
twelve for one of gold, while the federal
currency is at less than two for one
Prices Of all things have risen at the
North in consequence of an inflated cur
rency but inasmuch as this imitation has
been wonderfully retrenched by tact, in
genuity. and skill, prices have not approx
mated the enormous rates which are prev
alent at the South. As 1t is lawful to
learn whatever may be possible from an
enemy, may we not hope that Mr.. Mem
minger and Mr.. Hunter will take a few
hints in the practical departments of f.
nance from such consummate adopts in
this intricate business as the public
enemy"

The Bitter BITTEN. A despatch from
Cumberland Gap to the Chicago Tribune,

The Bitter BITTEN, A despatch from
Cumberland Gap to the Chicago Tribune,
says:
IA very spirited skirmish with the en-
envy occurred on the 18th November in
slant. about ten miles from the Gap, in
Virginia. A forage train of twenty-one
wagons had been sent out with guard of
twanty-eight men. The wagons were
loaded and started for the Gap with no
appearance Of danger, when suddenly a
party Of seventy-fve guerrillas rushed
from convenient ambush, overpowering
the guard, and compelling surrender
The officers clothing was Immediately
transferred to rebel backs and wallets ap-
propriated. The rebels were reioiced, but
ten minutes after the capture, Col. Leav-
ant, commanding the forces at the Gap,
appeared in bend of the road, while the
rebels were ignorant of the danger that
was approaching. Col. Leavant lmmedi-
ately led the charge with squad of the
4th battalion, Ohio volunteer cavalry. A
fierce hand to hand sabre fight occurred for
a few minutes, when the rebels left the
field in an accelerated manner, severely
whipped and terribly frightened. The
train and prisoners were re-captured.
Eleven of the enemy were captured, two
killed and four wounded, besides taking
some small arms and horses"

Coal is sold at 1892 per ton at the
mines, delivered in the cars or boats
The same coal is held in New York at
$ll, which is simply owing to the cor
rupt combination of the transportation
companies. These companies according
to the New York Herald, are the Lacka-
wanna and Bloomsbury, the Delaware,
Lackawana and Western and the New
Jersey Central railroads.

Intense excitement prevailed at
Suspension Bridge, Sunday, in conse-
quence of the assembling of some three
hundred persons on the Canada side, who
threatened TO take possession of the bridge,
cross to this side and destroy the railroad
property. A train, filed with soldiers,
was sent down from Buffalo, end strong
guard posted at both ends OF the bridge.
The demonstration was doubtless init
mately connected with the rebel scheme
recently developed in Canada.

The RUSSIAN FURORE New Workers
are beginning to fear that they have made
themselves somewhat ridiculous by over
doing the Russian reception and fete-ing
business. We predicted some time ago
that they would undo the intended effect
of the business by overriding the business
itself. Let the Russian bear hibernate
awhile now.

The HIGH PRICE OF Coal. - The
Miper's journal, published at Pottsville.
Pa. gives the cause of the present high
price of coal iu'one word, combination
There is in the first place a combination
of the miners by which they receive double
the wages asked in the early part oltlS62;
the owners and operators of the mines de-
mand a good profit the carrying compa-
MES and boatmen want a good slice of the
profits; the wholesale and retail dealers
must each have their share, and Goals
which cost $3.50 or 1892 at the mines
gets up to ST. Or Sl2 when it reaches New
York. This is precisely the way the
matter stands, and coal consumers will be
taxed this year not less than six millions
OF dollars IN consequence of these combi-
nations. 1t is not true that there is any
scarcity Of the article, or is likely to be.
The coal thrown into market last week
amounted to $1,000 tons more than that
offered In the same week last year, and
the total increase this year over last will
be !, 100000 tons. The increased govern
ment demand will not be more than 3O0.-
900 tons, leaving the coal supply of the
country 100000 tons IN excess of last
wears.

A CoppERHEAD AND A CRCToH. At
one of the shiouable hotels in New
York, says the Springfield Republican,
there boarded, last week, weak and
nasty copperhead-one of the New En-
gland and so worst kind--and a chival-
ric, spirited major general of the army,
minus leg, and hobbling about on his
crutch. Fired by natural folly, and a
luxurious dinner, the former insulted the
latter, as he was passing through the hall,
with loud and coarse denunciations of the
war, and all who fought on the loyal side.
The cripple turned and faced the coward,
demanding an apology and a retraction.
They were denied. The man of crutch
and soul then asked the name of the
copperhead and traducer of his country
and her patriots. With natural instinct,
a wrong one was given. Other words
followed whereupon the hero of Chan
cellorsyille and Gettysburg "shouldered
his crutch and showed how fields were
won by breaking it over the head of the
degenerate son of Adam and of Amherst.
The latter then sneaked off with at least
one new idea in his head, and the next
crippled soldier of the army he insults
won't be Dan Sickles.

A DIFFERENCE. The Richmond Ex-
aminer of the 9th instant contains the fol-
lowing:
The paroled Yankee stabbed on Fri
day night was named John Norton, and
hailed from Pennsylvania. He was in
toxicated, and commenced praising up
Abe Lincoln and his Government in the
presence of two southern soldiers. They
heard him through and then one caved in
his mouth with spittoon, and the other
cut him entirely through the upper part of
the thigh. He came nigh bleeding to
death before he could be carried to the
hospital. The parties to the assault
walked away, asserting that he was net
the first Yankee they had killed, and he
would not be the last"
Upon this the Troy Times says:
The fellow who cheered for JEFF. Davis
at Rand's Hall, Troy, the other evening,
went unmolested. What striking con-
trast to the unceasing vigilance Of the
rebels.
