Heavy DeaIoatIon in RiehmOnd.

(From the Richmond Examiner Sept, S.)
At the beginning Of the week it was
whispered about that two government OIL
cials-one late officer of the Confederate
States Treasury Department and the other
the commissary agent at Camp Jackson
Hospital-had vanished from the confeder-
acy, taking with them, the former about
seven hundred thousand dollars, and the
latter one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, all government funds, but converted
into gold, greenbael1s and ster ling before
the departure of the holders of it. As ru-
NOR is busy with the subject, and as the
names of the absconded officials are breath
ed at every street corner, it will not be in
Opportune to give publicity to them. The
absconding and alleged defaulting Treas
ury attache is George w. Butler, Pay
Clerk of the Confederate States Treasury
Department The Commisssry is Thomas
Knox, agent at the jackson Hospital.
Both of the men are married, and each left
behind him wife and child in this city.
We understand that the parties left the
city on Saturday, Knox obtaining pass
port for Fredericksburg in the name of
himself and "a blind brother" who was
personated by Butler. The fact that de-
falcation existed, was not made fully appar-
ent until Tuesday, when Surgeon Hancock,
in charge of Camp Jackson Hospital, came
into the city and made enquiries concern
ing the whereabouts of Knox. It was
then ascertained thst he hud drawn one
hundred and forty-nine thousand nine hun
dred dollars from the Treasury upon two
regularly certified checks, and that the
checks were csshed by Butler as the pay
clerk. Upon an examination of Buffers
accounts it was said thata default approx
mating to seven hundred Thousand dollars
were discovered.

WHAT Lfne or Retraat ?

Il is an interesting speculation as to the
probable line of retrest in case General
Lee, JET Davis s Co. should be, obliged
70 abandon Richmond. The Roanoke
Iivsr, large stream, runs right athwart
the only route of escape into North Caro-
lima. There Is a railroad bridge across it
at Weldon and one at CASTOR but Lee
could scarcely expect to get out by moving
in southeasserly direction At Clarks-
Vile Va, the Roanoke Is made up of the
Dan and the Staunton rivers, both of
which the DAnviIle road crosses The
bCidges across these two rivers and those
ct Weldon and Castor are probably the
chief ones. There may be several bridges
bstween Clsrksyille and Castor, but these
are liable to destruction. If Lee retreats
from Richmond, he will therefore have a
large river In bis front and mighty army
N his rear. II be stays In Richmond, he

ADMIRAI TARRAGUT's AoPoNTMENTs,
What she London Times Says of
Mcclellan.

The Times correspondent, writing from
Saratoga, New York, August 2sth, says of
Mcclellan
GPrivately he assures those friends who
encourage the prosecution of the war that
he desires peace, and that he viii advocate
an armistice and a convention of the States
should he receive the nomination at Chi
cago. He urges, as reason for not OPEN
ly avowing these sentiments, that the peo-
pie are not yet ready TO endorse them, and
considers it impolitic to take any step too
decidedly in advance Of the popular feel
ing. He feels assured, however, that the
triumph of the Democratic party must end
in peace, for be says that If even it wished
TO carry on the war there would be no
army Of any magnitude left ct the disposal
Of the government by the 4th day Of
March next" '-

important ifTrue.

We observe that the New York Herald
repeats the following programme, first an
nounoed in that paper week ago, which,
if true and 1t Is certainly persisted in with
great energy, is worthy the attention OF
the Government:
.AI the while that these mock nego-
tiations were going on, the rebel agents
were working on the Democratic leaders
and the delegates to chicago. Vallandig-
ham. now on this side, the line and tho
Woods. wish their reasonable paper pub
Iished in our very midst were the sub
agents of Clay and Sanders, who are the
agents of Sliden, who is the sccomplice OF
Napoleon.
What are the results The Democratic
party is nailed to disloysl and disunion
platform, which their candidate, General
Mcclellan has been compelled to disown.
The Chicago Convention has resolved it
self into revolutionary body, subject to
the orders of August Belmont. The
NesOs, the organ of the Woods, called up
on Belmont to summon that Convention
together TO make another candidate and
make the division complete.
August Belmont is the nephew Of Sli-
dell and the representative of the Roths
cnilds who are the financial representa-
tives Of Napoleon in the Mexican business.
Turn whatever way we viii, therefore, we
find Napoleon concealed behind the peace
platform, the peace politicians, and the
rebel agents; and we assure the American
people and the administration thai they
have more to fear from this fact than any
of them yet realize. Nothing less than a
Northern insurrectiou, and the consequent
transformation of this Republic into two
governments, is the programme Of the
Emperor of the French. The question for
us ls will this programme be successful

PondIetnn.s PoIier-

The New York organ of Mcclellan says
that Pendleton has always pursued poll
cy abest adapted to the welfare of the
country" That is, the World, the cham
pion of Little Mcclellan, thinks the very
wisest policy to be that of recognizing the
right of State to secede, and that of a con-
sistent opposition to the war and all the
means necessary to carry it on Ifanybody
doubts that Mcclellan, at heart, stands on
the Chicago Platform, and, in case of5his
election, will carry out its Illuminating and
eringing policy, this endorsement of
Pendleten's Copperhead career as best
adapted to the welfare of the country is
sufficient to remove. all doubts. II there
are any war democrats who imagine that
Mcclellan is a war man. they-had better
surrender all ideas of that kind, and recog-
nize the fact that Mcclellan and Pcndle-
ton are both twin Copperheads.

Cominr Down wien a Cra.h

Gold has been coming down for several
days past, and is now considerably below
two hundred. Before long it must be at
enc hundred and forty, which is the le-
gi6mate premium. The price of every
thing is coming down with gold. Stewart
has marked his goods down to two hun
dred; but he must mark them lower now,
that gold has again fallen. Provisions
are coming down. The butchers md bak-
ers are coming down. The tailors and
hatters and shoem4kers are coming down.
Those who want to buy should wait for
the crash, 1t viii soon come Specula-
tors, speculatlng merchants and speculat-
ing dealers are beginning to come down,
and the people generally, will be benefit
ed. Everything is coming down and COM
ing down with crash.
The reason of all this is because the
rebellion is coming down. Early has
come down already. So has Mobile, if the
current reports be true. Grant viii move
presently, ald then Lee will come down
Then Sherman will coma down on Hood
like thundyrbolt and nothing will be
left Of the so-called Confsderacy but few
starved negroes, a good deal Of waste pa
per and the mortal remains Of JEFF Davis
Then Maximflian will come down from
the throne now tottering upon French
bayOnets. Louis Napoleon who begins to
feel very weak, according to foreign
correspondents, will come down also
Lord Palmerston will come down, with
Earl Russell at his heels. We shall have
the Jack and Gill business al around a
great many people; at home, ABROAD, on
thrones and off thrones, at the North and
at the South, copperhesds and abolition
lists, bond and free, white and black, will
certainly come down whdn the rebel nag il
hauled TO the ground and thefag of oul
Union goes up and floats proudly from

We publish this morning a number of
extracts from Southern papers. II will
appear from these that the rebel papers
are making desperate efforts to be cheer
ful. They administer brsg and bluster to
their readers as q sort of tonic to inyigOrate
them in this trying hour. The movement
in Georgia is exciting much alarm. The
Richmond Blusterers suspect Stephens
and Governor Brown of some foul at
tempt on the Confederacy. Notwithstand-
ing all their fury,it is evident that they
are beginning to distrust their own people
They had not heard of Earlys defeat at
Fishers Hill, and we're very confident
that he would be able to hold his ground.
They think Sherman reinforced Sheridan
with 10000 men. This shows how Sheri-
dams men fought.
