First-The premature publication of the move

ihese papers reached the army On Tuesday morn

the entire sales to 1.o.3 ut s85o31ao too s, which
have been pretty equally distributed between the
New York, ,Pittsbusgh. and Baltimore shippers. Con-
sidering that larger supply would but be adequate
to the present eyan moderate dcand 1t Will a. once
be seen that there .sttlo any chance Of da1atnH

the Transactions Of the market TODAY can guide to

than we observed yesterday. Among others We 70
ce the snle Of 165 dsti1tefy fed hogs, Averaging 1
ms At se.p and further that whilst Of the sales
have been made below $3.50 the receipts hare almost
entirely consisted Of light hogs, averaRng from 1s

The Death Of Mrs. Gen. RcRuFcEnFd.

Marguerite Caroline Dcslonde, wife Of Gen.
F. T. Beauregard:
Our obituary column yesterday recorded
the death Of lady in this city, SO well end

60 many warm and afectionate hearts, that, IN
ordinary times, more than 3 mere announce

creole families In Louisiana, closely connect~
cd with those who hare held honorable posi-
tions in their country and abroad, known and
esteemed By large circle of friends ut the
South, at the North, and In Europe; yet to
none Of these was she 30 warmly, SO devo~
teillv endcared, as she was to her hn5banus
who was absent, and to her relatives and
friends, who, night md day, during the years
of her illness, have watched By her bedside.
have anticipated every possible want, aud
eoothed her sickness with an unwearying de-
yotlon commensurate NTH and comparable
with their love alone. When the imlnediate
predecessor Of the present Commanding Gen
eral was in this Department, he personally
rendered to her IN escort and every facility,
it. and whenever, she should wish to join her
husband. She was too weak, too III to be
removed. The devotion Of this lady to her
husband, her love for him was such, that she
would not allow her fumlly to communicate
TO him her critical position. Her SORROWS
. and her sutfcrings have been respected, even
by etsangers, to the day Of her death md her

Here is m in1lation of i've millions Of dol

The mas Of currency thrown ont hy the
PENNSYLVANIA banks is probably fifty to sixty
millions greatcr than before the w:r. It is
notorious that the New England banks are
also ehockin.ly inflated. We think it fair
estimate that the unconstitutional bank cir
culation at this time exceeds four hundred
millions OF dollars. Hall the banks have ex-
panded in the proportion Of the Pittsburg
debt factories, their present aggregate circu-
latiou would bc at least six hundred and fifty
millions.

"Aiter the presentation Of the flag was

tion of Miss Mary B. Banks, the promising

This beautiful young lady WAS present In q.
black riding dress, with red ZoNave Jacket
Of . rich design, elegantly embroidered,
wearinga three-cornered hat, with plume
Of red, white and blue -.
Major Marsh, OF the Second Illinois cagal-

bestowing. a bis gh encominm upon the States
Of Massachusetts. New Hampshire and Hill

Fourth Brigade would feel renewed energy

4 Stirring Appeal to the Women Folk.
From copies Of Savannah and Columbus,
(Ga. papers NC clip the following:


ATLANTA, Feb. 5th, 1664.-A report has
been put in circulation in various portions OF
tho State that the socks Knit by the ladies Of
Georgia for this Department hare been sold
by nc to the troops on tue field. Without
entering into the details Of this yilc aud ma
tale to be malicious FALsEaooD! ! deny,
and challenge tho world for proofto the con-
trary. that there has ever been sock sold By
this Department to soldier of tire Con1ed-
crate army since my FIRST appeal to the women
Of Georgia to knit for their destitute defend
crs. I hereby bind myself to present OEE
THOUSAND Do1IAIs to any person, citizens
CT soldier, who Will come forward and prove
that he ever bought 4 sock from this DEPART
ment that was either knit By the Indies or pnr-
chased for issue to said troops.
This report has been invented on tic one
hand by the enemies Of our noble boys, VINO
rejoice in their sutferings, and arc delighted
when thcy suspend the efforts Of our noble
women Ia their behalf On the other hand
bv seTvilc opponents Of this department, who
forget TINT in venting their unproyokcd spite
upon us, thcy are causing the troops Of their
drifting snow with uncovered and bleeding
feet. ....
Women of Georgia! again appeal to you.
This time call upon you to frown down
these vile falsehoods. Demand Of them who
pcddles the tale the evidence call for above.
Until that testimony is produced imnlorc
you stay not your efforts. assure you in the
name Of nil that is holy aud nob,e-on the
honor Of man and an oflicer-that myself or
any OF my assistants have never sold pair
ofeocEs that were knit By you. Every pair
has been issued to the destitute troops as q
gift, as about 1900 gallant sons ofthe EN-
pirc State will gladly bear testimony.
Daughters Of Georgia, I still need cocks.
Requisltions for them are daily pouring in up.
on me. still have yarn to furnish you. !
earnestly desire to secure pair Of socks for
every barc-foo soldier from Georgia You
are my only reliance. Past experience teach.
