GENERAL HOOKER SURPRISED AND
TAKEN.-Major General Hooker was In
Chicago Friday night, and the people
crowded upon him and at last captured
him, when he gave his parole in these
terms.

has happened to me tonight which has

am surprised and taken. Until my ar
rival here had not the rem0test concep-

occasion for such . demonstration. And,
gentlemen. / return you my sincere thanks
for it. Whatlittle service may have been
able to render to NV country on the field,

speech from me on this occasion. 1t ia
neither the time nor the place for such,
and, above all, speaking is not my profess

goodnight without congratulating you up
on the happy and promising auspices un.

THE Last MAJ AND THE LAST Dol
LAR.-Bitter repiOaches are heaped upon
the head of Jefferson Davis by the Confed-
crate newspapers, for confessiug, in the
speeches made during his late southern
tour, the desperate straits TO which they
are reduced. The Montgomery Mail de.
clares that by his weak confessions he il
''sapping the confidence of both people and
army, and paving the way for what We
shudder to reflect upon" What the speech
paves the wayobr evidently 10 the aban.
donment of the war by the people Of the
South. The Lynchburg Tiyginian denoun.
ces Davis Macon speech as "undignided,
ill-timsd and reprehensible." The confess
sions Of the rebel leader that provoke such
soldiers have deserted, that his armies are
outnumbered, and that the boys and old
men must fight. His call for the return Of
deserters to the ranks the Southern people
very we'll know to be in vain, for most oil
them have come over into the Union lines
never to return till the South is again
brought under the contro. Of the General
Government.
Not only has Davis conscripted his last
able-bsdied man, and now calls for boys
and old men; the last dollar is also gone
or has lost all value. The Richmond En-.
Qnircr of Saturday last declared that money
had ceased to be q standard Of value in the
COnfederacy, which is only another way Of
less. They will neither buy supplies mol
labor, the Examiner says, and mechanics
will not work unless they are paid in pro.
visions. Even the Government can get
supplies only by collecting taxes in kind
and allowing the most exorbitant prices
The Enqn,rer finds it impossible to deter
mine what will be the upshot OF this abso-
Lutte break down of the currency: and IL

ton, at least sixty thousand peaple are re.
duced to pauperisn and depend ON the
State for support. Having thus used uE
their last dollar and put their last man IN
the field, the question becomes q serious
one to the rebels how long they can go or
facts to be drawn by every loyal man is
that this Ia no time to talk about or vote
for armistice and negotiation. Hold on :
little longer, and the shaky concern viii
collapse in irretrievable ruin.
