From Ibe Dally mt fflnrt h 10. . n ... uorrKUHEApg ok kaidi.no. We no tlced yesterday the remarkable change which hus come over the rebel judgmcn of raids since they have been indulged In by federal troopers, and especial ly since the startling proximity to Rich mond attained by the "barbarous" Kll patncK and his " monsters." The mat ter Is worthy of mention again, as af fording another illustration of that re markable sympathy, or, If preferred, we will Say of accidental coincidence, which has often been observed to exist tat ween copperhead and rebel views of the same matter, it will be remembered that when Stuart's cavalrymen and llamp ion s -legion" ana Mosby's "men" and Morgan's raiders were dashing about ad libitum in our lines, consuming stores, cutting telegraphic wires, breaking rail road connections, and seeking whom they might "gobble np," copperhead ad miration of the gallant raiders was hard ly excelled by the rebels themselves. It is due to the coperheads however to eay they found it liicumtaut on them selves to express much sorrow and chagrin that our cavalry was devoid of the daring and brilliant element necessary to reciprocate these close nt tious of the rebel cavaliers. Now the time has come when this successful en terprise seems to have changed sides; and we have seen the stri kins' altera tion produced in southern opinion of the legitimacy of raids and the character of those engaged in them. And the afore said "sympathy" or "coincidence" con sists In the fact that the leading north ern copperhead journals have been struck with a simultaneous conversion and discovered that raids like Kilpat rick's are without profit, of injurious ten dency, serving to embitter the affection ate re!)cl heart against us, and of bad "moral" eflect. "Moral power" and "moral effect" it should be observed, are the forte of the great pence democracy. Like the immortal Pecksniff, they are nothing unless moral. Rebel Threats. As the Vermont Cavalry snstained considerable loss In Kilpatrick's late raid, it should be said for the benefit of the friends of those missing that there Is extremely little probability of the rebels daring to exe cute against the prisoners captnid any of the blood-thirsty purposes indicated by the Richmond newspaper threats The Washington Chronicle regards them as perfectly safe, and thinks that In due time they will be exchanged. The rebel sheets wish to make the most of the op portunity to "Are the Southern heart" Into renewed exertions against the North, and for this purpose manufac tured the paper said to have been found on the body of Col. Dahlgren, and there upon indulged in the easy fling of the terms "monsters" "assassins," &c, against the brave men engaged in the expedition. Rut retaliation wonld be too easy for the North, to render the carry ing out of their tkreats by the rebel au thorities in the least degree probable. It is a way they have of keeping up the rebel heart to the proper pitch of desper ation; as manifested in a more official way by the late address of JefF Davis and the manifesto of the rebel Congress. 1 I.y Messrs. W hlte & Moore's Malt Conee Manufactory at Albany was somewhat damaged by tire a week ago Saturday, but we notice that they have entirely recovered from the injury and are turn ing out from two aud a half to three tons of their coffee every day.

The Washington Republican said, be fore the result of Kilpatrick's raid was known, that it did not anticipate any great results from his expedition for the reason that there was a want of secrecy on the art of those who set It on root. The Republican said, "a larce num ber of ladies have been living in camp during the winter, and everv serrrt nf the service seems to have been Iniuarted to them. At the grand ball iriven hv I the officers of the Second corps, on the evening or the 22d of February, the la dies were discussing freely and talkin enthusiastically about a projected exiie tlition or Gen.

Some prisoners in the building opposite Castle Thunder, Richmond, according to the rebel papers amused themselves re cently by throwing bits of plaster on the sentry on guard under the windows of the building. Not stopping this on request, the sentry fired up at the win dow. A detective by the name of Woot- ere, and several other officials about the Castle, then went up, into the building to see if any one had been hurt. On get ting up to the room into which the shot had been fired, Wooters approached the window and looked out, and the sen try fired at him, the musket ball enter ing his left eye. Wooters fell at the crack of the gun and afterwards died. The sentinel said he fired at Wooters be tawte he thought he was a Yankee. Tennessee Union soldiers are avenging themselves on secessionists who perse cuted them after the war broke out, by hooting them down whenever they get a chance. Several instigators of rebel lion have thus met with summary pun ishment for their treason, oppression and tyranny. The military authorities are making active exertions to put a stop to this unlawful mode ofldcaling with the traitors. " Strong Argumeht fob tub Gold Bill.

The Chicago Journal tells the following story : A gentleman who was recently united in the bonds of matrimony to the lovely daughter of one of our most respected citizens, received just before the cere mony a gift of a $1000 bill from his papa-in-law, as a trifle of "pin money" for his wife. He slipped the bill under his glove, where he had already placed a 55 bill intended for the officiating clergy: man. In the delirious excitement of the hour, he pressed into the hand of the minister the wrong bill, and as the par tics never look at the money -on such oc casions, neither of them discovered the mistake till some hours afterward. What was the surprise of the bride when her husband handed her a $6 bill with the remark that it was a " little Din money" from her father, "I should think it was a little," said the lady ; and then the mistake came out. Neither bride nor groom would of course be so discourteous as to think of claiming res titution of such an error, at such a time and the clergyman was overpowered with the liberality of " yonng ." The lady told the " funny incident" to a friend or two, however, and the clergy man understands it now. , Washington Countt.

That he is now re turning leisurely to Vlcksburz. without the least apprehension of danger, ap peal's to be settled, if we are to believe the statement of rebel telegrams, bear ing difl'erent dates, and sent from diverse points, by different parties: and their general concurrence is evidence of their truthfulness. - .., The question, then, naturally arises what were his designs, and how far was he enabled to accomplish his purposes 1 And preparatory to answering, it will be necessary to briefly refer to the situa tion of aflairs in Mississippi. the farmers or the northern! and cen tral portions of the State, relying on a union advance, aud reeling secure on ac count of their isolation, from rebel im pressments had planted largely, both of corn and potatoes; but notwithstanding tne hoped tor immunity: no sooner had the crops matured, than a heavy caval ry force under Lee and Forrest, was sent tnuner to gatner them, and send them to railroad stations for transportation to Georgia. The subsistence thus obtained was a matter of the first importance to the rebels, and well did the Richmond Whig declare that to cut off these would be to damage them more than to win a victory. " : In the next place, the railroad from 8elma to the Big Black was in running order, and we have reason to beleive that it was meditated at Richmond to seize and hold some point on the Mississippi at least to hold it long enough to inter rupt communication for some time, and perhaps draw reinforcements from Ar kansas, or Texas. In the attempt they must have failed; but a large force would have been necessary, in order to thwart their designs. , Indeed a few thousand rebel troops, judiciously distributed. might keep a large army enmloved. in defending the banks of the river, , , me expedition of Sherman has not only cut off the rebel supplies, to which we have referred, but it has also render- ed an attack on any point on the Mis sissippi untenable.

Bridges, ties and culverts were burned, and rails bent to render them worthless; and we are all aware that there are not facilities in Dixie to re place them; indeed, we doubt. Ifnmipi- any circumstances, the road could be put In running order in fonr months. ; , But. this was not alL The extension of this road was destroyed as far as the Tombigbee, and perhaps further, though we have no positive information on that point ; and the Mobile and Ohio road was rendered equally worthless. as far south as Quitman, and to a place zu mues norm oi .Meridian. This will eflectually cut off the corn fields of North Mississippi, and will end all apprehensions of a rebel raid on the Mississippi river. . ., ' , It is almost certain that Sherman would have penetrated as la; as Mont gomery, had not the expedition of Smith and Grierson failed, and rendered com munication with the Tennessee river impossible. Much has bten lost by that failure; but with this drawback Sher man's expedition has been productive of as many advantages as any other since the war began. We will also refer to one thing more it effected. It is not now out of place to refer to the weakness of our army during the winter, on account of the ab sence of two thirds of the men on vete ran furlough ; the return of a greater portion of these troops, with the arri val of large bodies of recruits, has ren dered it useless to hold the secret any longer. The dlverson created by Sher mad prevented Johnston from attempt ing to take any advantage of our weak ness ; and if this alone had been accom plished the expedition would not only have been fully justified, but absolutely demanded. , . , , . t3T A Washington paper states that the condition of Gen.

C, having been laid upon the shell by Jeff. Davis. KeaMct In Heal Lit. On Thursday, In the police court, singular occurrence In real life took place, which, in this city at least, has seldom transpired. The facts are these: About five years ago a man named Edward Carey left an affectionate and beautiful wife and three interesting; children to seek a fortune in the mines of California. For one year after hi arrival In the gold country, Carey wrote constantly to his wife, and enclosed fre quent sums of money. Suddenly the correspondence ceased, and Mrs. Carey, receiving no money, was compelled to adppt other means to obtain a livelihood for herself and little ones. In a lew weeks thereafter Mrs. Carey received In formation that her husBand had beea killed in the mines, which was corrob orated by a subsequent letter from Cali fornia. For three years she lived, as she supposed she was, a widow, aud receiv ing the attention of an Italian named Joseph Reibe, who succeeded in gaining her aflections, she consented to marriam. and about a year ago the two were le gally united in the bonds of wedlock. and have ever since lived oulte hannllr together. On Sunday last, as the church belle were summoning to the house of God the worshipers of the true Being, Ed ward Carey, who had arrived direct from California by the morning train, was making Inquiries In the neighborhood (in which his family resided when he left Cincinnati) for his wife and child ren. His neighbors and friends stood amazed and trembled upon beholding the man whom they had Ions slnee be- nevea to De aeao. upon being assured that it wa s Carey, who was not dead but living, he was astounded with the Intelligence that his wife, who had also believed that he had "gone to that bourne whence no traveler returns," was again married to another man, with whom she was now living in domestic felicity. Ascertaining the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Relbe, the afflicted hus band hastened to ascertain whether what he had heard was true or ialsa: Knocking at .the door, a tall Italian, measuring six feet one and one-half Inches, came to the door. Carey in quired; " Does Mrs. Reibe live here 1" "She does will you walk inl" re plied the Italian. "Yes, sir; will yon please tell her that a gentleman desires to see her," said Carey. tne Italian consented, and on going to the door leading into the dining-room called his wife by her first name. She answered, and, all full of smiles, came running Into the parlor. Upon seeing her husband, who rose from his seat to meet her, she screamed out, " My God, Carey I" and fell fainting to the floor. The husbands both hastened to raise her from the . floor, when Carey informed Reibe that he was Edward Carey, the lady's lawful husband. Reibe also claimed her as his wife, and added, " I shall never give her up." Before the wife had fully recovered Irom her feint ing attack the two husbands had become engaged in angry violent words, result ing in Carey's drawing a pistol upon Reibe, and by the latter being forcibly ejected from his house. Reibe, on Mon day morning, had a warrant sworn out In the Police Court, charging Carey with disorderly conduct, and provoking him to commit a breach of the peace. Carey was arrested, and when arraigned be fore Judge Warren, in the presence of Reibe and the wife, he asked the Court to hear an explanation before he entered his plea. Judge Warren consented, and Carey stated that Le and Reibe both claimed the lady (point ing to Mrs. Carey Reibe) as wife, and he believing himself to be the legal claim- uut. uau oecome disorderly in demand ing peremptorily of Reibe that he should give her np. Reibe, through the prose cuting attorney. Mr. Straub, exhibited to the Court the marriage certificate, and the question was at once raised, "What further proceedings could be had In that Court '(" The wife, who like Niobe, all in tears, was called np and asked by the Court if either of these men was her husband 1 She replied that she had been married to both, but hay ing learned that her first husband was dead, she formed an . attachment for Reibe three years afterward, and married him. " After assuring the Court Jof her deeply-seated attachment always for Ca rey, and now her warm affection for Reibe, who had been an affectionate and devoted husband, the Court inquired of her, viz : . "What do you now propose to do; live with your first husband, who is legally such, or your last husband, who, by misapprehension, and unintentionally, you have made your husband 1" The lady replied, "My duty and desire are to go and live with my first hus- -band, Edward Carey." - ine scene wnich roiiowed can never be described. Carey and his wife ap proached each other and wept aloud, while the disappointed Italian, seated in his chair like a statue, presented a pic ture of despair and disappointment. Presently his feelings . were overcome, and he grievously wept, eliciting the sympathy of all. Carey and his wife, arm in arm, left the Court-room, and Reibe, after receiving kindly admo nition from the Court that he must be resigned, and pursue the matter no further, left the presence of the Court deeply chagrined and terribly mortified at the fiite which had befallen him. Ca rey and his family are preparing to leave the city, and Reibe, all alone in a deserted house, refuses to be comforted.
