CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 23.-The latest re-
ports DO not confirm Lonstreet's retreat
across French Broad river. 1t is thought
here that having failed to accumulate .
force sufficient for active operations on our
communications he he grown fearful Of
concentration against him or Johnston, and
is now endeavOring to form o junction with
Lane at Dalton. The largest estimates give
him 10000 infantry and fifty field pieces.
Johnston rs known to have at Dalton six
divisions of infantry, numbering about 3d.
OOO men. The armies combined will prob
ably muster 10000 men, and might prove
dangerous. Great dissatisfaction still ex-
lists, and evidences Of decentralization in the
rebel army are numerous.

GOLD AND GREENBACKS ..

An enthusiastic admirer of the Ad-
ministration was in the city the other
day. The object of his visit was to
exchange his grcenbacks for a variety
of articles of family use and consump-
ton. Finding prices considerably
above his "Views," he demanded an
explanation, and was informed that the
high prices Of goods resulted from the
advance Of gold. He replied that he
couldn't sec what the advance of gold
had to do with the price Of dry goods,
especially as he didn't propose to pay
gold for them. "I've got the genuine
Government money to pay for them
and l don't want to be swindled." lie
was told that the market was gov ern-
ed by gold. and the goods are marked
up to meet tho depreciation of green
backs. "Daprecirtion ofgrecnbaeks!"
thundered the customer, Indignantly
''you can't fool me with no such cop
perhead lie as that!-Government mou-
ey goes dollar for dollar-lt's par; it's
just as good as gsld!" 1t was explain
ed to him that Notwithstanding the
nominal par value oc t..e greenback
dollar, yet it required nearly three Of
them to purchase one dollar in gold,
and that it was because greenbacks
were really worth but little
over one third their face and
yet by law made ''receivea ble at par, .
chat made high prices necessity
But it was all in vain; he couldn't
see it and 80 expressed himself.
Smith, who was present. and who is
alwsys ready to undertake hopeless
case, drew gold dollar from his pock-
ct and attempted to illuminate the sub
ject with practical illustration:
Says he, my friend, here is dollar
in gold, and to convince you that
your greenback dollar is deprecated:
I will show you that l can buy more
than twice as much coffee with it as
you con with your greenback dollar"
"Of course you can!'' replied the in.
corrigible customer; sand that's where
the swindle is! that's what I'm com
planning about! IT'S all DANCED cop
perhead conspiracy. Here's dollar
that the Government is pledged tc
redeem, and | can't buy half as much
coffeo with it as with gold dollar
that nobody's responsible for, and that'l
never hs redeemed at sllr' HMtl
