Tuesday EVENING. Dec. 81, 1864.
The capture Of Savannah By Sherman and other
successes Of our armies, have unsettled the mark
cts, ind operators generally are indisposed to in
du!ge in transactions. Still the tanks have had
good many callers. Money is scarce, but there Is
not that gtr1Igency that existed Last week. The
receipts Of currency from outside has done sornc-
thing towards relieving the market. The bankers
generally would like to sec a cessation Of the
opportunities Of borrowers, to enable them to
stretch thcir legs. Operators, it ia presumed, un
der tie circumstances, will remain quiet until the
close Of the holidays.
Ezchnnge /. very close today, and bankers gen.
orally decline to sell except to regular customers.
The recognized rates are to discount buying;
rar selling. Bankers have paid as high as par 10
get suppi5 for their customers.
The victory of Gen. Sherman has had it4 iniln-
cncc upnn the gold market, but not to that extent
which It's importance deserves. Ofcourse the reb-
cl bulls die hard zud thcJ will resist tho influences
OF union victories to the Last Bstthey have gotto

following is the range tslegraphed from New York

General Grants Opinion of Hts
# Own Situation.

A gentleman from the front tells the fol-
lowing good story of General Grant: A
visitor to the army called upon him, one
morning, and found the General sitting In
his tent smoking and talking to one OF his
staff officers, The stranger approached the
chieftain and inquired of him as follows:
"General, if you flank Lee and get between
him and Richmond, will you not uncover
Washington and leave it a prey to the enc,
my?" General Grant, discharging cloud
of smoke from his mouth, indifferently re-
piled '.Yes, reckon So" The stranger,
encouraged by reply, propounded ques--
ton number two: General, do you not
think Lee can detach sufficient force from
his army to reinforce Beauregard and over
whelm Butler?" ''Not q doubt of it., re-
piled the General. Becoming fortified by
his success, the stranger propounded quesT
ton number three as follows, " General, Is
there no danger that Johnston may come
up and reinforce Lee, so that the latter viii
swing round and and cut off your commu-
nications. and seize your supplies ?"--
sVery likely" was the cool reply of the
General, and he knocked the ashes from the
end of his cigar. The stranger, Mortified
at the awful fate about to befall General
Grant and his army, made his exit, and
FASTENED to Washington to communicate
the news. a- -... --..... .rt-..l o.

Exlt Pelisele,..

Old Pelissier has thrown mp his hand
dead and gone where he sent the Arabs he
smothered and burnt TO death In cave In
Africa. He was an unmitigated, ferocious
old brute-a good soldier but a poor Gem
eral--and was hated by the army for his
ill-nature and his savage temper. Louis
Napoleon feared him, but kept him well In
hand by giving him place and money. He
was an Orleanfst to the backbone sneered
ut the Emperor, ridiculed and defied him,
but accepted his favors; was always quarrel
ing wifi the Empress, and probably feared
no human being, save his wife, who young,
pretty and conquettish has kept her old
naoustache of husband In a constant fume
of Jealousy by her fiirtations and her fond
lings. Probably no intelligence Will be
more gratifying to Louis Napoleon than
the announcement of Malakoff's death, and
the Empress mourning will be OF festive
character. He was gambler, q r0ue, ana
duelist-one of the St. Arnaud clique--and
French mess-rooms ring to this day with
the scandal they created. He took the tower
of Malakoff, and by it gained Il dukeoom.
pension of $4,000 per ann1m and the
rdicule of the wits Of Paris who compared
him to the Haytien Dukes OF Lemonade
and Princes of Molasses Candy. Pelissier,
however pocketed the honors and the mon
ey, and resented the sarcasms. He wasr ound
and fat, but his sWOrd-arm was as good as
ever, and his fencing, If not his military
abilities, were respected. In the Imperial
Club in Paris, the loudest talker, the loudest
swearer, the heaviest player was Pelissier;
his life was sad one, morally, until the
Empress found him a nice little wife, when
he partially reformed, and as far as he could,
behaved himself. But he seems to have
borne Eugene ill-will ever after, and made
much trouble in Louis Napoleon's house,
hold by his brutality to the ladies OF the
Court and the Empress's household. The
present Marquis Galifet, another ne'er-do-
well, but brave and gentlenanlike young
man, gave Pelissier reproof notlong since,
for some incivility, which nearly led to
bloodshed. Galifet offered to fight him in
any way and at any time, after having in
the presence of large company rated him
as a boor in his manners and unfit for polite
society. The Emperor stopped the duel,
but it was with difficulty, for both were
hot-blooded and anxious to fight. Pelissier
is another of the tools and enemies of Louis
| Napoleon gone to the grave. 1t seems as
though the master bore charmed life
proof against disease as well as bullets. II
must be with grim satisfaction that he or
ders the preparation for the military pageant
which will celebrate the last honors to the
old marshal, and casts about him for some
body whose purchase will be worth the
baton which every French soldier Is said 70

Lo. the Poor Negro!

Yesterday solitary negro defender OF
the ''best Governmental the world ever saw"
and attached to the 22d Pennsylvania Re-
serves, was received at the Provost Mar
shal's Office for transfer to the bosom of his
companions at the Libby. He was recog-
nized as former slave of Messrs. Rawlings
& Brother, of Norfolk, Virginia, and greet
ed with a ''How do you do" by several OF
his former acquaintances from Norfolk,
among them Detective Caphart. He was
equipped. as the law directs, in the hateful
Yankee blue, which is enough to make a
Southerner slay a negro at signt, no matter
how harmless he may be. The negro alleged
that he had been in the service some six OF
eight months, he thought, but did not know
exactly. They kept them so ignorant that
they could only tell by the numbero of suns
Ia He begged to be sent back to Norfolk 70
his master aud said he would willingly die
back there once more. While at the, Pro-
vost Marshal's Office the negro soldier wat
put through the drill by some of the Off
GERS, and he went through 1t with alaerity
and no little skill, animation being impart'
ed to his eyolutions by the threat that hs
was to die in haitian hour If he did not per
form well.-Richmoad Eraaiaer, 23d.

Baron, James de Rothschild, head of the
French branch of the great house, has had
the misfortune to lose his youngest son,
Salomon by name, aged about thirty, who
married one of the cousins about a year
ago. The young man was struck down
suddenly by disease of the heart; In Paris
you are aware people are horribly malig-
i,ant I'm their language; and this great ca
lamity to the Rothschild family has been
made the subject of a piece OF malignity,

whether the losses suffered by the Danish
army since the outbreak of the war with
Germany, have ever been paralleled ed-look-
ing at the strength of the army when It ac-
cepted the gauge thrown down to II. The
estimates are various as to the numbers OF
the Danish force, including the volunteers
that have taken up arms In defense Of the
independence of the country. But the
regularly disciplined force of the Kingdom
the army propers-does notappear tohave
exceeded $4,000 at the commencement Of
