Halleck is not dead, popular impres sions, and not a few sanguine hopes, to the contrary notwithstanding. He '-'has lived to be used' to heap insults on General Sherman, tho man to whom be rejoiced to give the glory of tho fighting to thc bitter end on the first day at Shiloh, and aaving our army from destruction. Hal leek wroto a despatch at Richmond, on the 20th, in which be used such choice and courteous phrases as the fol lowing: " I havo tele graphed back to obey no orders of Shermans, but to push on as rapidly as possible." ? suggest that orders bc telegraphed through General Thomas that General Wil son obey no orders from General Sherman.1' The point is, it would not have been diffi cult to have given those orders, if they had been necessary, without making them the vehicles of insult ; and the publication of j such a dispatch by Stanton, shows his anxiety to slur the reputation of Sherman. He has undertaken a large contract. Halleck, since his great effort of the Hdth of April, baa sub sided into a collecton . of rdbel pamphlets, newspapers, &c., foi' thc usc of the historians who are expected in the future ages in which posterity is thought to be interested. He had better stick to that, or he will provoke the publication of wbal all the Generals who have commanded the Army of the Potomac; from McClellan to Meade, think of him. '"-? ^ ? i Air*George A.

A few days siuce two of the officers of the Richmoud banks, whose assets were removed from that city upon the evacuation in April, reached Washington iu this State, They were empowered by the authoritiea to remove their effects, consisting ol three hundred and twenty thousand dollars is specie, to the capital of Virginia. "Procuring t?a?n? and a guard of twelve men. the*? gentlemen get out upon their return home, intending to take the railroad at Chester, South Carolina. At thc end oi the firs: day's j m rn ey. they encamped on the grounds ol Mrs. Morse, eighteen mile.^ from Washington and three from the Savannah river. The officers retired, and the guan.s lell asleep. . * About miduight a parry ol' twenty mount ed men, who wero evidently aware of the value of the train, suddenly dashed in on it, and thu guard surrendered without firing a gun or making the slightest show of resis tance. The freebooters immediately went to work bursting open tho specie kegs and help ing themselves to the glittering contents. One fellow, it ia related, had a large leathern hav ersack, which bc filled, but just a.s ko was mounting his horse, the 6traps"gave way and the precious metpd fell chinking to the ground. Ha eagerly scraped up the gold and sand, leaving a number of pieces, and placing the coin in a bag, rode off. The next muming a negro teamster found five dollar pieces scat tered iu profusion all about the ground. SJ me two hundred thousand dollars were stolen, leaving about one hundred and twenty thousand.
