morning an Irish servant girl who takes
pride in boasting that she is secession

a she rebel or a fend. The author Of
the outrage will be prosecuted.

From Thompson's Bank Note Reporter
THE sECRETARY,s POLICY.


1t is important to know, so far as DOS.
sible, the future policy Of the financial
minister of the Government; and cspec
tally at this time. when. to make paIoh
ling speculations profitable, an uncommon
food of false assertions and theories dam
aging to the public credit, are BOLDLY cir
culated.
The excitements got up in Wall street
by gamblers in Stocks and Gold, are tele.
graphed everywhere-exaggerated-and
the outside public naturally feel that there
is some great wrong somewhere, when, in
fact, there is nothing wrong There is
only hullaballoo among the bulls and
bears.
Mr.. Chase will press right on with tho
National Ten-Forty Loan, just as he has
begun. There will be 10 change in the
rate of interest. He will make no tenn
porary loans of the Banks, but will take
money from the people or the Banks at Eve
per cent interest, payable on ten days'
notice, as heretofore; and he will run the
usual line Of one-year Certificates. He
will sell the surplus gold from customs
after setting aside an amount sufficient
for six months interest, and use the pro.
ceeds, as the spirit and letter Of the law
demands, partly in sinking furd, and
partly for the current expenses of the Gov.
eminent.
He appeals efresA to the people in this
the most.trying military and financial Pc
riod of the Rebellion, to come forward
with heart and money. He is reducing
the volume of currency gradually, and
will continue to do so. If the stock and
gold gamblers ahall again attempt the
game they played last week, he will bring
the whole power of the Government, and
its whole means, both here and abroad, to
checkmate them.
The Secretay of the Treasury relics up
on the People for the ways and means /;
upon the Army for victories, and upon
Congress for adequate taxation.
The people will come to his help with
every dollar that can be appropriated.
This is their true interest; it is their
true safety. The armies now will do their
part--there is no alternative but victory.
Congress will do its duty--it dare not
falter.
To those capitalists who complain that
Mr.. Chase ought to pay a higher rate Of
interest, VIC say, pointedly, that per
cent. obligation against the American PEG.
pie is better than bond at any higher
rate of interest. For why? Your money
rightcously invested, free from cxtortOn,
generously invested for your countrys
cause, is, and will be through all time,
VALID.

Dipatches from rebel sources have been

The rebel army is falling back on

While Grant was engaging Lee, Butler

terribly in their strongest holds. Butler
has already cut the the railroad between
Richmond and Charleston. Sigel is sup
posed to be advancing by the Shenandoah
valley to cut the roads between Richmond
and the West and South West. If these
movements are successful, the rebellious
armies will be prevented from re-inforc-
ing each other and ours will use them up
That is the way the thing looks to-day.
Never was the prospect more encouraging
for speedy death-blows to the rebellion.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10th.
A special dispatch to the Inquirer, da-
ted Washington 9th, says: Gen. Meade
again moved on the enemy and had a
brisk fight at Todd's Tavern, just north
of Pc River. By night it was found that
the rebel army was retreating on three
roads running south toward Richmond.
On Sunday the rebels attempted to
make another stand but Meade fell upon
them and the dispatches tonight confirm

The colored troops were not put into
the engagement but were held as reserves
with Gen. Burnside. We have lost but
two pieces Of artillery thus far.
The last from Gen. Butler states that
on Saturday he was suddenly attacked
and nearly captured, but repulsed the en-

AS to his being, he was not the wan
dering Jew, nor yet the son Of Levi; for
he was before them. He was with Adam
in the Garden--he dwelt with Noah in
the Ark, and was with Christ at his cru
cifxion. AS to his apparel, he goes bare
headed, like grave old friar; his coat is
not costly, yet warm and lasting; it is
neither carded, knit. spun nor wove-it
is neither cotton, silk nor hair !; but of a
beautiful color, aud by long wearing it
shines brighter and brighter; his beard
is vcrmillion red. AS to his diet, it is
but mean; he feeds on what he can find,
and drinks no wine or strong drink. but
water. He demands nothing for his la
Dor; yea, he will take no money if you
give it to him he is not couformiist or
. non -conformist ; his voice is sharp and
and clear; when he speaks, all nations
know his language; when he prophecies,
the doors and windows fly open. Once
he preached sermon to great man and
drew food of tears from his eyes. ..
