Afternoon Report.
Late Rebel Dispatches.

| Nav YoRK, October The Richmond
Enquirer of the 29th says General Lee
has ioticiallyI communicated 20 the War
Department that Towards and Slocum's
corps Of the army of the Potomac have
gone to RosecFans. Il also says ROseeFans
has been reinforced by Grant TO the amount
of 16, 900 men.
The Examiner says General Lee will act
as his military judgment best dictates.
A Mobile dispatch Of the 26th says the
New Orleans Era says most disastrous
reverse has occurred 70 the FedeFals In
Louisiana. This concuFs with the FumOrs
that General Weit1el has been defeated
and killed by General Dick Taylor At Ma.
pOleOn, La. General Bragg states the
fruits of the battle at 0bickamunga ut
900 prisoners, of whom 1000 are wound
ed, SO pieces of artillery, 20 stand Of eOlOFs
and over IL, 900 small arms.
General Lee issued on the Gath q con-
gratulatory order to the army Of Virginia
on General BFage's victory.
An Atlanta dispatch says, Bragg in re-
ply to Rosecrans' request for permission TO
bury the dead and relieve the wounded,
said he had enough Of prisoners 70 bury
the dead and Yankee surgeons to attend
the wounded.
Another Atlanta dispatch reports that
General Wheeler with his cavalry is across
the Tennessee.
Another dispatch of the same date re-
ports that Lookout Mountain Is held by
Hoods division, now under General Jen-
kins.
Il is supposed that an assault will be
made, as we command the situation, and
need not sacrifice our troops.
Rosecrans has two lines Of defense, 600
yards apart.
General Longstreet commands the river
and railroad below Chattanooga.
Our loss in killed and wounded will not
exceed 10000. The Yankee loss in killed.
wounded aud prisoners will reach $4,000.
Five Yankee hospitals are in our hands,
full OF wounded.
On Thursday night the enemy made two
attempts on our lines and were driven
back both times to observation-disclosures.
The Lyncbburg Republican of the 2sth
reports slight skiFmishiug in upper and
East Tennessee near ZOllicoffer. A battle
in that quarter is hardly probably, as
Burnside will be forced to retire to rein
force Roseeraus.
.ChGrEesEon, Sept. 27.-The enemy Is eV-
identity making himself impregnable on
Morris Island.
Bristol, Sept. 2S.-The enemy burned
the railroad bridge at Garter station, 20
miles from here, on Saturday, evacuating
the place and are now retreating in the
direction Of Knoxville, our forces pursu-
ing. ,--.-
o'clock last night.
A Gordonsville dispatch of the 18th
says the federal force beyond the Rapidan
is represented at go. 900 effective men.
Opinions are conflicting as to whether
there will be a fight soon or not.

eapTHE NEw PosrAI CURRRxoY AID

nBTHE NEW PosTAI CURRENCY AND
THE OLD.-Specimena of the new postal
currency about to be issued by the Treas
ury Department, have been sent. ont to
government officials. From the present
issue it materially differs. Its dissimiIar
not only in design, but in color also. The
ground work of the fifty cent note is black,
with gilt stamp in the centre, surround
ing the portrait of Washington. At the
four corners and at each side Of the head
of Washington, appear the figures $780,"
while "Fifty' Cents'' is inscribed above the
figure of Washington, and "Fractional,
Currency" is printed below. At the top
are the words, "Furnished only by the.
Assistant Treasurer and designated deposit.
taries of the iUnited States" At the bottom,
Receivable for all United States stamps.
Act approved March 3, 1868" The main
part of the face is occupied with picture
of STEAMBOATS,, locomotives, cotton bales,
&C., very delicateIy shaded. The reverse
of the fifty cent note is mainly red in color.
A large $50" appears in the centre of a
shield Around it are the words, TEX
changeable for United States notes by the
Assistant Treasurers and designated de-
positories of o. s. in sums not less than
three dollars. Receivable in payment of
all dues to the United States less than Eve
dollars, except customs" A very large
$50, !" gilt in outline, also appears on the
reverse. 5..i ~ sd
Meanwhile, the old issue is fast wearing
out. contemporary describing pile of
the old currency says it looked like dis
mantled crows nest. The appearance of
the new currency will be Welcomed. Upon
the old issue the government made hand
some profit. A large per centage of the
money will never be presented for redemp-
ton.

ING rHn HoUsEs.-The want of proper num-
bers by which the houses of the city may
be distinguished, has been seriously felt
for some years. at present not half the
houses are numbered aud it is difficult for
a stranger to direct himself to any partic-
ular point. 1t is remarkable fact too
that not more than halfof the residents of
the city know the names of any but the
most prominent streets. The names of the
streets should be placed upon the corners
of the corner houses or upon the lamp
posts. 1t would cost but triie to make
this improvement and much confusion and
inconvenience wonld be saved, particularly
to strangers.

Advice to Rebels.

In the course of an article opposing
the Presidents amnesty proclamation in
connection with the alleged Union move
ment in North Carolina, the Chicago
Times says:
'Perhaps the South will consent to
those terms. If she does the degradation
they offer will not be half as severe as
should be inflicted upon people who
could accept that degradation. If she
does, she is not fit to be in the Union up
on terms of equality with other States,
or to exercise any political privilege Of
any name ornature. If she does her people
should be compelled to change situations
with their slaves, and governed only by
the overseer's lash. No true American
could propose such degradation to fellow
citizens, and the fact that they have
been made is proof that their author is
either insane with fanaticism or trail
tor who glories in his country's shame.
If the Confederates are not dogs, they
will free, arm and marshal their slaves
for conflict by Offering them still greater
brides than are offered them by the ab-
oitionists, before they will think of sub
mission to the Presidents terms "
We are told that under Lincoln's des-
potism ''free speech has been stranglcd.
The above is sample Of the remnant
that vet remains.
What is treason? Giving aid and
comfort to public enemies. Is that not
the intent and effect of the exhortation
addressed to the rebels, of which the
above extract is part IF that be not
treason, can it be committed by speech
or print? Is it possible to commit trea-
son by seditious language or by giving
advice or information to public enemies ?
Fit be, then the above is treason. What
more or worse is it possible to say or
print The sheet that applies such at
troeious language to the President, and
exhorts the rebels to hold and arm their
slaves, owes its existence to the amazing
grace Of the President who saved it from
the grip Of Gen. Burnside when he had
it by the windpipe, and but for that IN
timely interposision, it #aj1id never have
squealed again Chicago Tribune

Arena Sabbath School.


The enterprising ladies Of Arena, Mrs.
Bovee Mrs Ansden, Mrs. Wood, Mrs Yo-
ker, and Mrs. NJ Jones, to whom due credit
should be given for getting up Christmas
Tree for the boys and girls of the Sunday
School
. Happening in I found crowded room Of
Juvenile faces all wishful to excel with their
pieces, Of which there were many and good
ones. The School House was decorated
with evergreens and ornamental wreaths ;
while in the centre stood one Of those beaut-
full pine trees, which abound around the
bluffs and knowles Of Arena, laden with
gifts for the young. Across the one end Of
the room was stretched the flag Of our Union
with its stars SO bright and Pickering, which
had been made sometime ago by the Union
loving ladies of Arena.
E. The services of the evening were very
interesting. The scholars commenced by
singing Gather them into the Sunday
School," &C.. then the Rev. David Jones
made a very interesting speech on the occa-
sion, doing ample justice to the ladies for
their zeal and perseverance in the establish
ing of Sunday promising if they
lived to see another Christmas Eve they
would be more in number, and their services
more perfected. -.e
They had good singing by the scholars
and several choice pieces were played on the
melodion and sung by Mrs Bovee. The
master piece off all was "the Captive and the
Flowers" Master Ashmore the Captive,
Miss Teal the rose, Miss A. Thomas the
