eps a restaurant and to-morrow may be out of business. Hence it is that the suggestion of using postage stamps, made in the Tribune several days ago, appears to be in favor. Baker & Godwin have published a great show-card, bearing this announcement: "Postage Stamps are Received for Goods, and Given as Change for Current Bills." Judging from the sale which these cards have had already, postage stamps may be expected to be in circulation very extensively before many days. In Philadelphia and Boston, as well as other large cities and towns, the same trouble exists, and the importance of having some uniform token of "small change," and especially a Federal token, such as the postage stamp, must commend itself,--The copper coinage at the Philadelphia Mint per day is $2,500, which is far from being adequate to the demand for change. From every section of the country there is an urgent call for "pennies"--a short time since only to be got rid of at a discount — in small an

hinplaster dealers who refuse to take Uncle Sam's image and superscription should be discountenanced. From the Mississippi flotilla. A correspondent of the Tribune, writing from Vicksburg on the 2d inst., says: At the mouth of the Yazoo river a portion of the ram fleet, which had preceded the gunboats, was blockading the stream. This river is the great storehouse of rebel steamboat property; all the elegant New Orleans packets, and numerous smaller craft, the unfinished ram Arkansas, and the Van-Dorn, are reported to be up the Yazoo. Among the boats in good condition are named the A. J. Cotton, Gen. Quitman, Louisville, Natchez, Vicksburg, City of Memphis, Kennett, Prince of Wales, Magnotta, Magenta, and a number of smaller boats; in all there are about twenty-five vessels, all of which with but little repair could be made serviceable.

This warfare has visibly declined since our cavalry received orders to shoot guerrillas on sight. A few have given themselves up to the authorities at Springfield, and profess that the leaders have changed their tactics entirely. Many now intend, it is said, to confine their operations entirely to destroying Government trains and other property. This they call legitimate warfare, but it is not likely they will stick to this programme long, especially if the cavalry stops shooting them. Rolla people now consider travelling from that place to Springfield perfectly safe since the 5th Kansas cavalry have killed all the guerrillas in the immediate neighborhood of the road and scared off their bands for many miles on each side. The rebels are becoming as thoroughly afraid of the 5th Kansas, as the rebels near independence were six months ago of Jennison. Apropos of Jennison. The pro-slavery Union men unite with the rebels in this State in expressing their joy because Jennison w

ll in Washington before that letter was received, and at one blow toppled over his hopes of a Brigadier ship. The news that Vicksburg has been captured, and consequently the reopening of the Mississippi, sent quite a thrill through steamboat men in this city on Saturday. The statement that a canal is being cut which will leave the city forever inland is discredited generally, and, on the whole, disliked. The people of the Northwest are jealous of every movement which injures the Mississippi river or its banks. It is regarded as the peculiar privilege of the Northwest to trade with towns on the river, and anything calculated to destroy a town is viewed as a blow at the profits of the Northwest. Steamboat men admit the practicability of the proposed canal, but declaim loudly against the immolation of the site of Vicksburg, even though the town itself is a heap of ashes. Small hopes are entertained that any respectable number of additional troops will be enlisted in Missour

The ram Arkansas. Though the Southern people are exceedingly fond of telling great stories concerning things unseen, and love to magnify the importance and overrate the power of munition untried, they seem to dwell with especial emphasis on the construction and prowess of their unfinished gunboat ram, Arkansas.

The guns were taken from these boats and placed on board the Arkansas, which the carpenter of the Van Dorn represents to be still unfinished and not aground. Meeting of the two Flotillas. The fleet arrived at a point three miles above Vicksburg on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, when six of Commodore Farragut's vessels, including the flag-ship. Hartford, were discovered quietly at anchor. The fleet from the North came to anchor along side and in the rear of Farragut's vessels, and a conference was had between the two commanders on board the flag-ship Benton. The commanders may here pass their greetings, but the union of the fleets can occur only after the fall of Vicksburg. Engagement and running the rebel Blockade.

If a bomb-shell had fallen in th Vicksburg, even though the town itself is a heap of ashes. Small hopes are entertained that any respectable number of additional troops will be enlisted in Missouri, under the President's proclamation. The State has raised 31 regiments, including infantry, cavalry, and artillery, all told, for United States Service, and 10 regiments for State service, making an aggregate of about 40,000 defenders of the Union enlisted in Missouri. The rebels have never had 20,000 Missourians in the service at any time. The draft on the fighting population by the Union cause, and for the rebels likewise, has been very heavy, and the class who volunteer are generall

July 7, 1862. If a bomb-shell had fallen in the middle of town it could not have produced a greater sensation than the news which reached this city on Thursday last, that McClellan had been forced to retire 17 miles, losing his stage guns, and only saving his army from annihilation by the fortunate co-operation of the gunboats. What rendered the reception of this news worse here than elsewhere was the fact that on Wednesday there were vague reports from Memphis, and a rumor from Fortress Monroe, that Richmond had been taken. The news of the retreat from the Chickahominy gave great joy to the rebel sympathizers who still haunt this city, and although they made no public demonstration, it was easy to perceive a deep under-current of pleasure in their feelings whenever Richmond was mentioned. Indoors they doubtless celebrate the occasion heartily. It was noticed that the evening of the 3d was celebrated in front of nearly every prominent rebel dwelling in town, by putting
