officers were taken prisoners and shot.
"Among them was an American by the name of
Rodgers. The French, after il-treating him, shot

DEPRECIATION oP THB REBEL CURRENCY.
We have used every effort, as our readers will

ment of all dues up 10 this date, even though t
has subjected us to heavy loss.
Our course, however, has not been sustained
by the public. We find it impossible to pay out
the iyes in discharge Of any bill against the Gov
ernment except at heavy discount. we are,
therefore, reluctantly compelled 10 decline re-
ceiyinR such notes In future, except at the cur
rent rate Of discount In this city, viz. Thirty
three and a third per cent. when more than one
are paid In.

recent approach of Beast Butler, General Bragg
ordered the evacuation Of the iourishing city OF
Petersburg, and its abandonment 70 Yankee

carried, and Beauregard made successful de-
