The people of Pittsburg are terribly
excited by the reports in relation to the
rebel movements in that direction. The
C!eveladi P2aiadealer states that on Tues
day evening the messenger of the Ameri-
eap Express Company brought to that city
in iron safes, fifteen millions Of dollars in
gold. The same company received the
next morning 81 600, 900, about S650,00o
OF which was in gold coin. All this money
was sent to Cleveland for safety by the
bankers and merchants Of Pittsbury,-a
fact which shows how thoroughly alive the
Pitebursers are to the dangers which
threaten thtm.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM MRS. SWISS
HELM.

We are still without the promised cor
respondence from Mrs. Swisshelm, and as
to the cause can only surmise. Not even
private advices have been received since
the letter from which extracts were pub
lished three weeks ago. The only e1pla-
nation we can offer is, that she is at pres
ent so much engaged in hospital duties as
to be unable to devote attention to ccrres-
pondence. This seems the more probable
as her letters to various Eastern papers
have been discontinued Of late. We hope
however, soon to have the beginning of a
correspondence from Mrs: Swisshelm which
will be ss regular as the nature of her dn-
ties will permit.
