News of the Week.

Hon. Montgomery Blair, Post Master Gen.
eral, has resigned, and Governor Dennison
of Ohio has been appointed his successor
and has accepted. ~
Gold has been going, down with rush
under the influence Of Sheridan victories,
and the taking of Mobile, not yet officially
confirmed, but highly probable. Gold was
quoted yesterday in New York at 81, 9O,-
Goods are also falling, from 33 to 40 per cen,
on dry goods within three weeks Groce.
ries have also declined very materially IN
price.
Pap Price is again in Missouri with force
estimated a; sosae $4,000 with more in re-.
serve, probably most of the available rebel
force west of the Mississippi He was at
Fredericksburg, ST Francis county at last ac-
counts. He will be duly attended to-
Lee is preparing some new move. Sher-
idan has evidently caused great uneasiness
at Richmond. Sheridan is still pursuing the
enemy, who are retiring in disorder before
him. The total loss of Early is 10000. n
= A battle is expec'ei at Petersburg at any
moment 80 3ta 11.
Forrest has been checked at Pulaski,
Tenn. ''
The news from Missouri is important,
nothing has been heard from Pilot Knob at
II O'Clock on the 9th Gen. Ewing was
supposed able to hold his position, although
communication lad been cut off. Smith S
Infantry had been withdrawn from Mineral
Point to Desota. It was feared that 40 wag.
ons from Pilot Knob to Mineral Point had
been captured. 1t was feared that Shelby's
cavalry would dash into ST. Louis. The pre-.
vailng opinion is that the advance on Pilot
Knob is feint, and that Price is aiming for
the central part of the State.
