Rich Haul for the Confederates. From the Cincinnati Gazette, of November 17th, we take the following: Increased audacity on the part of the Secessionists might be expected, as a natural consequence of the change in the military affairs in Missouri.

ld not be soon again urged upon the public attention until the close of the war. The subject is one which the loyal men of the border States cannot but believe is not calculated to aid the Union cause, and therefore regret to find it thrust before the public again.
