THE NEWS, The military situation may he set down as •steadily cumulative, and coming to a head, though not as yet clearly defined. Sherman •at last accounts was more than half way to Savannah and the rebels have since ceased to chronicle bis movements. Never fear but they will cackle if they lay an egg. The re port received laic on Tuesday night that his advance had reached Millcn and released a large number of prisoners there, brings Idm within seventy miles of Savannah, and to the junction of the railroad from Augusta with the Georgia Central. The next news from Sherman will probably have a salt sea fra grance about 11. The rebels ean probably do nothing to check his advance to tidewater. There is still the amplest ground for con jecture a* to where Sherman will really bring his forces to bear. Our Nashville correspon dent, who Is not often in an error in his prog nostications, utters the direct suggestion that Sherman isgoing to join Grant, and bring the war in Virginia up to the crushing point. It Is not one of the most chimerical of the views ex pressed with regard to Sherman's movement, and with some intermediate coveted results may yet be realized. Meanwhile, a great scare broods over the Confederacy, and a vi sion of their approaching doom is in the heavens. If all goes well with our opera tions, under Providence, the doom will not disappoint them. It seems the pirate Florida did not sink from any fresh disaster, but from dropsy in duced by her former hurt. She was not run down, but gave out.” A Newborn dispatch says Bragg isroadc the commander of the rebel North Carolina De partment, and fi]>cakfl of an extraordinary stir among the rebel forces in that region. Our Nashville advices both by mailand tel egraph arc full of important facts and sugges. lions as to Hood’s movements and plans. The aspects apparently give ground to the view that Hood Is really aiming to reinforce Breckinridge and recover East Tennessee to the rebels. This will give them the Lynch burg line of road ogain, and measurably re place the communications molested by Sher man. Out forces in that quarter, however arc strong enough to thwart this part of the rebel plan, if it has existence, and hold East Tennessee firmly against them. IV c give, in another column, the amend ments to the Probate laws of this State,, adopted after careful discussion by the recent Probate Convention. It is a measure that Is believed to largely concern public interests connected with these Courts. ,Gen. Lee, of the Union cavalry force in Mis sissippi, sends an official account of a gallant little achievement near Port Hudson. The same dispatch brings advices of a pretty little capture of a rebel camp near Pensacola. Neither was a very large offiilr, though Lee took 300 prisoners. But it is pleasant to know that onr boys keep their sabresJjright, their spurs keen, and their eyes wide open. The rebel plot to burn Northern cities must not be set down by loyal men and the authori ties of onr cities as ended by recent develop ments and faQnrcs, else they will read their mistake by the light of disastrous conflagra tions. At New Tork yesterday, clearly a por tion of the nefarious scheme, a destructive fire swept away $150,000 worth’ of property, and Imperiled millions. A chicken of the same tell brood was the atrocious attempt in .Memphis, as detailed in onr Cairo dispatch elsewhere. Citizens, look to your homes. Municipal officers, vkilancc will bo a paying invcoiwcm just about now and for some time to come. Ben. Butler, finding In his camp an infantry Major, who had resigned his commission through lust for a sutler’* prafiLe in. jriager snaps and plug tobacco, took the gentleman np in an order quite utter the pattern of a pair of tongs, and, with averted nose, drops him back into civil life. A high compliment for the sutler generation, but deserved. It is hardest, however, on the boot blacks, who should indignantly resent odions comparisons. The rumor which gives the Attorney Gen eralship to Judge Holt places it In excellent hands and suggests an important and valua ble accession to the Cabinet. They have been lately sinking with great secreey at the upper end of the Gap some tor pedoes ingeniously constructed of copper, in iimn and general appearance like soda foun tains. This morning the pickets along the river ascertained that the rebels had orders to fire on every mounted officer. A* somber of our officers were to-day fired on, bat none were hit. The rebels are making all possible haste to complete for Wilmington the 400. pouud gun. A second one of the some calibre has been commenced. It will be seen by notice elsewhere that th meeting called in relation to the Educational Land Grant, will be held at Springfield on Tuesday, Dec, Cth, instead of a date before erroneously given. At Madison a portion of the wall to the new capitol has 'fallen, destroying the cn. trance to the building, and ladders are tem porarily resorted to. The Tallahassee .did not run on a rock in her recent narrow escape from our cruisers, but got safe into Wilmington darbor, whence she is nearly ready fur a new issue with a load uf cotton. Oar New York dispatch contains some disagreeable hints concerning this blockude-nmning business, going to show what has long been suspected that New Tork is the principal rebel mart, and that a steady trade Is maintained in staples the rebels need, shipped to Havana and Nassau and even Hal ifax, to be rcshlpped in blockade runners. Pity that some of the knaves who pretend loyalty while thus aiding and comforting the rebellion, could .not be brought to pun ishment. The evil Is one not easy'to guard against, but the more sharply the Federal officers follow up the Southern residents of that city, the nearer they will come to break ing up tbe trade in contraband. nissoust Loyal Missourians, who have come very ucnonilly to deserve that other phrase of rad ical Missourians, have just now a great deal of important labor on tbclr hands in the way of repair, and refitting to their State instltu. tions." Missouri has been severely dealt with by the war. Hostile guerilla bands have trampled rudely on her soil. The torch and the weapon of the assassin have carried deso lation and mourning far and wide among her homes, and all on account of slavery, and the complicity of her own sons in the great re volts Again and again have their desperate hands frantically sought to tear, her from her allegiance, but bleeding and tortured she has clung the firmer to the old flag. The fires of the war have purged her ofdisloyolty and burned up her dross, and now the work of rebuilding and restoration has begun. This lime there will be no relapse. Local distur bances, and the smaller visitations of disloyal bands may not all at once disappear, but tbe great work of saving Missouri has been ac complished, and her own pcoplehave renewed the compact with Union and Freedom In the recent election. The State laws are to be revised, and from her statute books will shortly disappear to sink out of sight forever, all legalized barbarism. The man seller will be no more a plaintiff* as such, in her courts. There will be no more chattlelsm inhuman flesh. The forthcoming Legislature, and tbe approaching convention will, between them, make secure and thorough work, and strike off every shackle from tbe limbs of the blacks, and the necks of the whites. When Free Labor sits shlnlngly down upon the soli of Missouri to develop its vast zmd multiform sources of wealth, the joy and fulness of the prosperity of that not distant riay will recompense a thousand fold tho troubles of her day of regeneration, and cast far in the shade all the progress she ever reached under the dominion of Human Op pression.

Wm. H. Van Errs, Chairman. OCR NASHVILLE LETTER. The War in Tennessee-Aspects of the Campaigh-What Hood May Intend. THE EAST TENNESSEE MOVEMENT-WHIT THOMAS IS DOING-AFFAIRS AT NASHVILLE. (From Our Own Reporter.] Nasbtzlls, Monday, Nov. 28,186 L We arc in the midst of another excitement; consequent upon the advance of Hood into Middle Tennessee. At the head of his whole army, he is now but a short distance south of Columbia, and not more than 50 miles from this city. Bis advance has been very sadden, but it was not Tin expected in the military circles; and more, it does not, in the least, terrify them; Indeed they have rather invited it. This much I know; one paragraph of Sherman’s parting instructions to Thomas was, that he should let Hood go north of the Tennessee, if he would do so, and I heard a prominent General, who is in the confidence of both Sherman and. Thomas, say that if Hood would agree to cross the Tennessee, a bridge would-be put up for him, so important to us was such a movement Hood is aware of one thing, and that is, since the late drain by Sherman by is superior to Thomas in command, as be has all of For rcts’s, Wheeler’s and Dick Taylor’s mounted men present with him and -at his command. These number about as follows: Forrete’s old command. Wheeler's vv Taylor’s 44 Total. His infimtiy does not exceed 20,000, if it will reach that figure; hut it has recently been rcelothcd, the army having lain near Tuficumbia and Corinth till this conldbe done. They, however, still lack shoes. Thomas’ army is certainly competent to eland against Hood; it could have stood against him at Pulaski or any other point South of Buck river, but that was not his policy. The present position of our army is a veiy'strong one, and not only will there be noy&Htnyhacfc, but. there will, at the proper time, he an advance, as Thomas is abundant ly able to assume the offensive. But it must be remembered that the late rains have swollen the Tennessee so as to render fording impossible? and hence, if Hood’s pontoons can be destroyed, he can take no steps back ward; And gunboats can reach his pontoons, though they will be compelled to encounter several batteries before they can destroy them. Some are of the opinion that Hood will at tempt to reach Richmond by way of East Tennessee, He may tiy it but he will find it a hard road to travel—a rather undesirable military Jordan. I know the rebels generally believe that Sherman will ultimately join Grant; and it is probable that they will con centrate everything with Lee. This will he In perfect accordance with their past policy; it is what is demanded by the exigencies of the Confederacy. Without such a concentration Lee’s army would be unable to hold out against the united forces of Grant and Sher man, AND THEY ABE TO BE UNITED. With all their communications through Georgia cut, and cut they are by this time, Hood’s army is of no use in the West; it is as harmless as Price’s force west of the Mis sissippi and lienee concentration is nuccsaa. iy; and if they are to be concentrated, now is the only time that it is possible ana it is only hardy possible now. Thomas will follow Hood up if he moves cast; and will be with him as Jar as he chooses to go and will bring him to a fight as soon as be can. Altogether, I should not be surprised to see the cam paign opened next spring with bnt two armies—one on each side—and I should not bent all disappointed if Virginia alone were the battle ground next year. To snch are we evidently coming. FIGHT YESTERDAY. Hood concluded to try onr* lines yesterday,' and be was everywhere beaten back, with a loss, in all, of abont 850 men in killed and. wounded, beside some 30 or 40 prisoners. I do not think he will repeat the attempt. Our loss was less than 50. BZBEE SYMPATHIZERS Here arc not jubilant over the situation. They do not venture even a smile at the pros pect of being delivered” from the fearful despotism of Old Abe Lincoln.” Indeed, I am almost of the opinion that, whatever may be their hatred of “Yankees’* and. “Aboli tionists,” they would not have many regrets if Hood were beaten.- They desire to seethe South successful, but they don’t wont to fight; and wherever Hood goes he conscripts aft who come In his way. This city is at present fall to overflowing with rebels—violent rebels—who have come here to escape being dragged into the rebel army, and 1 do think the military authorities ought to drive them back. They would be of little value in the rebel service, and while here they are constantly acting as spies, and communicating with their whom they ere too cowardly to fight. They should he* compelled to enjoy the “liberality” of, Jeff. Davis. TUB WAR IA TIKGSAIi; Tlie Situation In Front of Grant and Buller-llard on a Sutler—New* front tlie James Blvcr to Tuesday Jttorn h)C> Washixotox, Wednesday,. Nov. 30,—i The mail steamer from City Point reports that heavy artillery and musketry firing was heard early yesterday morning on the north side of the James river, in the vicinity of Dutch Gap, The gunboats were also supposed to be at woik. The firing had nearly ceased at 11 o’clock. Noparticulars received, ’New Tons, Wednesday, Nov.

In the evening the rebels fired from the advanced point of their new line, Just beyond the famous Bermuda Hundred tower. Our gunboats replied and tbe affair was terminated. The Tribune’* Army of the James special says tbe rebels have exhibited on-increased, firing for two or three days, at tbe supposed completion of Gen. Butler’s canal. Our fir ing trom Bnidv’s has succeeded in silencing completely their mortar battery with which they so long annoyed our working party. They have about one hundred negroes at work, daily, erecting works in the rear of Fort Gilmore, which fronts Harrison, and constructing an Interior line running from the point between their abandoned Fort Jackson and the river. They have in front of Harri son twenty mortars already planted, and pur pose increasing the number. Movements of their troops have been in preparation this af ternoon and actually began since dark to night. On the morning of the 28th firing was quite brisk, musketry participating, but no battle ensued. Rebel deserters report Ewell’s corps gone South. Throughout all of the 27th the rebel firing on the Dutch Gap canal was un commonly heavy and persistent. No damage was done. For an hour in the afternoon they delivered a severe fire upon Fort Brady, but so damage was done there. Gen. Butler has Issued an order that Major X). B.

Some of our artil lery was left upon the south side, otherwise the withdrawal was attended with little loss. So far, none of the enemy’s infantry arc known to be on this side. The river has steep banks. At present it is fordable in very'few places. A portion of Forrest’s cavalry are on this side, and hare made their appearance at several points along the Tennessee and Ala bama railroad, between this city and Duck River, so that trains on that rood arc obliged to move with much caution and care. The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad is still nnent. The train which left here yesterday p. m. reached Chattanooga in safety. The np train which left Chattanooga at IK P- yesterday was delayed all night at Tnllahoma by a report that rebels were on the railroad in force at Christian, ten miles south of Murfreesboro. A small party of the enemy were actually at that point and burned an Immense pile of wood there, but did very little damage to the track. The train came bn aud reached this city at 4 p.m. The enemy were known to bo near the raHroad at several points, and we doubt not it will be cut to-night. No trains wi go out to-morrow. The city Is fall of all sorts of rumors, but you .may rely upon the truth of the above statement. The weather continues very warm. It has not rained for the past 48 hours. The roods are drying up, and everything is being put in readiness for the defense of Nashville in case it becomes necessary. .Brig. Gen. J. F. Miller, post commander, is exercising untiring vigi lance to clear the ship for action. Business goes on as usual,. and the result of coming events is awaited with bnt little anxiety and no tear, and notwithstanding all these demon strations of the enemy, it will not surprise os If he retreats without fightlnga battle. Nashville, Wednesday, Nov. 30.—A train arrived here last night from Chattanooga, with a few wounded men and several rebel prisoners. Among the latter is Brig.. Gen. Young, of Cheatham’s command. “There are no breaks in the Chattanooga road though the rebel cavalry are prowling near the Hoe. 500 crossed the track near Levergne, last night, 15 miles south of Nashville. The garrison at Shelbyrille were attacked by a body of rebel cavalry on Monday, but after some severe skirmishing the rebels re tired. Skirmlshing,at the front is of daily occurrence. There Is no change in Hood’s position. In every skirmish so Jar, the fed erals appear to have had the advantage. Our forces have evacuated Shelbyrille, and it is now in the hands of Jthe rebels. Opinions are rife as to Hood’s movements, and ample preparations have been made, or making, to defend Nashville shpnld he attempt its cap ture. Louisville, Wednesday, Nov. SO.—Hood, in his late repulse by Gen. Thomas, lost over 800 men, and beat a hasty retreat. General Thomas’ position on Dock River is a good one, and he will remain there until a gunboat expedition, now moving, shall have cut Hood’s communications on the Tennessee, by 1 destroying his pontoon bridge. The late rise in the river was Jnst in time to favor gunboat operations. The only fear is that Hood may, in the meantime, make a detour, and get off into Fast Tennessee to Join Breckinridge. New Fork, Wednesday, N0v.30. —The New Tork Times’ Washington special says that Hood’s movements in Tennessee seem to re veal the intention of making his way into Fast Tennessee. «Xhe line on which he Is mov ing would indicate on attempt to turn .Nash ville on the cast side, and make his way to form a junction witn Breckinridge. It is be lieved be will then essay the capture of Knox ville, which will give him railroad communi cation. via East Tennessee and the valley with Lynchburg and Richmond. The successful Issue of Sherman’s movements will have sev ered comnmnication between the- two s rebel armies, and Hood’s present campaign seems to be directed towards securing such commu nication by the line mentioned. Hood’s army in this case would a position to join Lee’s, should this move become advisable. FROM WASMOGXOT. Military and General News Items. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]. Wasbikotoh, Wednesday, N0v.30. Richmond papers of Monday have been re ceived, but they contain not a word about Sherman. Tbe firing in the vicinity of Dutch Gap was brisker thnn usual yesterday morning, but the dead lock on the James still un-. broken. There are vague rumors in the city to-day that Gen. Pope is to have an important com mand in the Army of the Potomac. The President’s Message, and nearly all the reports of the Secretaries, are In the hands of the printers. The city is filling up fast with Congressmen and other officials. It is positively asserted to-night that the President has appointed Judge Holt Attorney General. Ex-Secretary Chase is expected here to morrow or the day after. Judge Bates and family leave for St. Louis 10-morrow morning. s The resignations of the following named officers have been accepted by the President, to take effect to-day: Maj. Gen. Jolm A. McClemand, of Illinois; Brig. Gen. H. E. Payne, of Wisconsin; Gen. Neil Dow, of Maine. Washington, Wednesday, Nov.' SO.— I The official report to the Navy Department shows that extraordinary efforts were made by-the steamer Atlanta as well as by those on board tbc Florida-to save the latter vessel, and It was only when’lhe impossibility of preventing her from sinking became apparent that for-, ther attempts were abandoned. The records of court martinis in the cases of' forty-eight officers, arc officially promulgated. These include twenty Colonels, three Majors, CHICAGO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1884. fifteen Captains, eighteen Ist Lieutenants, and eighty-two 2d Lieutenants. They had committed various offenses, such as making false returns, disobedience of' orders, fraudu lently receiving money, misbehavior before the enemy, gambling and drinking with en listed men, &c., &c. Fifteen were convicted of drunkenness. Nearly all of these men were, dismissed from the service. One Western Major, for sending a challenge'to fight a duel, was sentenced to do cashiered, but the sen tence was mitigated to reprimand. Boards for the examination of officers of commissary quartermasters end pay depart ments have been established in different parts of the conntry/so as to embrace all military divisions. The navy department has been officially in formed that the yellow fever boa disappeared from Newbern, N. C. The organization of an army corps to con sist of no less than 20,000 infantry, under command of Moj. Gen. Hancock, excites much interest. His headquarters have been established in this city, and veteran soldiers .not now in the service desirous of entering this sew organization should, until farther notice, report in person to the office of Col. C. T. Johnson, at the Soldiers* Rest, near the the Baltimore and Washington Railroad Station, in Washington. No persons should apply except each as have seen a year's ser vice, have.been honorably discharged, and are physically qualified. Veteran officers who de sire to serve in a first class corps should make, application, in writing, to the Adjutant Gen eral at Washington, giving a history of their services and such military recommendations from their former commander as they can produce. A letter from an officer of the 10th corps, at Petersburg, writing to his friends, says: The rebels have placed torpedoes in front of their works, so that a weight of eight pounds will explode them, calculating that if any of our forces charged upon the works to blow us sky high; but sometimes the John nies overreach A few mornings ago, some of their men were in front of their works and accidentally stepped on one of the torpedoes, and the result was, that several of the rebs were blown up.

They might be the advance of Breckinridge’s command, which has not been definitely heard from for one week. Small detachments of rebel cavalry made their appearance on the 27th on the banks of the river, opposite Memphis, having a flag of truce. They remained in full view for several hours waving a white token. Am unable. to leam their mission, bnt suppose they wanted to effect an exchange of prisoners. We have New Orleans advices to the 31th by the steamer Niagara, bat they bring nothing in the line of war news that is partlc ularly interesting. The New Orleans Times has a letter from Barranacas, Florida, dated Nov. 20, saying that Lieut. Col. Specrling, 2d ilaine cavalry, did a pretty good thing a few days since. Ho left with a small force of cavalry on a scout; when about twenty-five miles from Pensacola he surprised and captured one company of the 15ib Confederate cavalry, with all their horses, arms, equipments, camp and garrison equipage, without firing a gun. He gobbled their pickets alter a manner peculiar to him self, and then rode Into their comp. The first the rebels knew they were victims of a genu ine T&nkce trick. Thirty-seven prisoners, forty-five horses, and equipments, were taken and brought in the same night. Gen. Policy .is in command at Barancas. Ec has made many improvements. It is reported from Paducah to-day that the rebels have tom up the rails of the railroad leading from that place to Mayfield. They stem to be preparing for' making thieving and conscripting raids or trying to obstruct transportation. By the steamer Marble City, Capt. Trepudl, Clerk A. Storms, just arrived, we have Mem phis papers of the afternoon of the 29th. It seems that rebelemmissaries also commenced, burning operations at the South as well as at the North. The BuUf (in says about ten days ago Gen. Washburn received an anony mous communication which hinted that the rebels contemplated inflicting some severe blows on Memphis. He dla not. attach a f real deal of consequence to its suggestion ut determined there should be no remissness on his part. He handed the matter over to the United States detective force with in structions to followup the matter and give It a thorough investigation. The dis covery was made of a most atro cious plot instigated by the rebel Government, tobe carried out under tbe super vision of rebel agents. There were ascertain ed offers of the rebel Government of a pre mium often per cent on all public and other property destroyed by hired incendiaries. This had induced a conspiracy to set fire to the depot, round-house, and other buildings belonging to the Charleston and Memphis Railroad. Capt. Swivel pursued tbe investi gations suggested, by Gen. Washburae. and watched the plot as it ripened. At last it be came evident that on last Sunday night the conspirators were about to carry out their nefarious design,-and with the utmost caution detective officers and twelve picked men, be longing to the Bth lowa regiment, were one. byouc slipped Into depot and yard, and care fully secreted. Tbe night was intensely dark and there was a’high wind blowing. All cir cumstances were favorable to the designs of the incendiaries. At one o’clock in the morn ing the conspirators appeared, and after cautiously satisfying themselves that the coast was clear, proceeded to.where they had placed a quantity of waste and greasy cotton under the roof of the bull ding, and lighting a match were in the very act of applying the incen diary brand when the detectives and soldiers pounced upon them, lu the confusion and darkness one of the wretches made his escape, but was at once pursued and was found uTbed at his boarding housed Bis boots were covered with fresh mud. He and three other prisoners, who were caught at Incendiary at tempts to fire Irving Block, were locked up. The officers at once proceeded to the Charles ton House, near the depot, the keeper of which is a man named McMellon, alleged to be a rebel emissary and the concoctcr of the plot to burn the railroad bondings, who was arrested. Be claimed to have been asleep, but circumstances were so strong against him that he will very probably be convicted and with his guilty dupes be hanged. It is alleg ed Dr. McMellon promised that the incendi aries, who have all been employed on the railroad, should have passes that would get them out of oar lines and safely-through Dixie to Mobile; and that he, as agent for the rebel government, would agree that they should receive ten per cent on whatever val uation of loss should be made after the con flagration. by the Memphis papers. One of the incendiaries known as Wilson, alias Salty, has been conductor on the Charleston and Memphis Railroad. He .is a very desperate fellow, as also is MikeSbeenan, another of the conspirators. Had not these plans been hap pily lolled by tbadetectlves, from the dark ness of the night, the wind, and plenty of combustible materials ready, it is probable that tbe whole of the railroad build ings and their contents would have been de stroyed. which would have been -a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the gov ernment. It Is stated in the Memphis papers that Ma jor Gen. Washburn will assume command of Vicksburg in a few days, to be succeeded at Memphis ny Major Gcn-Dana, whose Chief of Staff is Lt. Col. J. H.

Foiling of spurt or tbo New Capitol Wall—Climbing Into a Legislature by Ladders, [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Madison, Wis, Wednesday, Nov. SO. Yesterday afternoon about one-quarter of the rotunda in the center of the new capital fell with a great crash, smashing the passage way connecting the different wings of the capital. The fall is said to have been fore seen a short time ago, and good precaution taken. No one was injured, though there was fecvcral narrow escapes. The fall of the wall was owing to the fact that a portion had been put np too rapidly in ohlcr to get it all under cover this fall, and U froze up as soon os built. When the weather moderated several feet were, afterwards built on the top of it, and when it thawed ont, the mortar not hav ing set conld not stand the pressure. After a careful examination by the architect, Mr. Mix, he thinks the rest of the work is not affected by tbc accident, and no cause for fur ther pprehension exists.. The only present means of access to the Assembly Chamber or Supreme Court is by ladders placed on the outside. FROM SHEBJIAiVS MAKC3I. Rebel Account*—What Pryor say*— 111 m Tlcwn of Sherman and Ills (Ju dcrtakiug-Tlio Latest Situation. New Yore, Wednesday, Nov. 30.—Roger A. Pryor arrived here this morning and was taken to Ft. Lafbyette. He contradicts the re port that he had said Macon and Millcdge ville bad been captured and that Augusta bad probably fallen. ‘He says Sherman is the ablest officer in our army, and that the South Las more to fear from his movements than those in progress elsewhere. As to tho South ern refugees In this city he sold they had act ed disgracefully. Tbc WoritTs Potomac Armv correspondent speaking of the capture of Roger A. Pryor, says: Pryor appears very sanguine of tho ul timate successor the rebellion, and ridicules the Idea of our putting faith in the state ments of deserters ana refugees. Ho docs not appear to be much cast down by his pres ent misadventure, but regards the means used to secure his capture as not strictly in accordance with tbc code*of honor, and os more particularly severe In His case, as he Lad used his influence to secure the release of Burbridgc and prevent the recurrence of such captures by the rebels." He has changed but little in appearance since I last saw him in Washington. He contends that the elec tion of Lincoln isjust wliat tbc South wished, and although apprehensive that it may pro long the war another four years, declares that It has united their people and rendered the probabilities of their ultimate success much greater. He would give no information abont Sherman or the operations in the Shenandoah Valley, and was~ indisposed to converse upon any subject connected with army movements. The Commercial?f Washington special says Pryor’s report of the capture of Macon Is not believed, as Gen. Sherman had cut communi cation with, that place and the rebels at Rich mond conld have no Information of the mat ter. Sherman probably avoided Macon and Augusta, and Is thought to be marching to the sea coast. The rebels are doing all they can to impede his progress. The Port’s Washington special says Rich mond papers of Monday are silent respecting Sherman’s movements, but show the rebels to be in great trepedition. There is every rea son to believe Sherman Is making his way tri umphantly to the sea coast. Some of the recently exchanged prisoners from Savannah, who have arrived*, state that the people Intimated that forces under Bean regard and Johnston bad arrived at Macon and Augusta, to.oppose Sherman, bat didn’t believe nc would encounter them, or that tbc military authorities would decide in time where to concentrate their forces. There were only 1,500 men at Savannah. The Savannah Republican of the 24th con tains contradictory as to Sher man’s movements. It says the column ope rating on the Georgia road kept the western side, and struck olf in the direction of Macon, as though contemplating a junction with the forces in that vicinity. It was also stated that a strong force of cavalry was following Sher maq, ambit Is not impossible that Forrest moy ere long hang like a wolf oa his rear and flanks. MfBK or TBIE ftEOEE PiOT. Exfcnsiro Incendiary Fire In Now Yerk-Luiubcr Yard Dc-troycd—Loss $150)000. New Tore, Not. 30.—Afire broke oat this morning about half-past four o’clock, which It ie said was clearly the work of incendiaries, in the lumber yard of Ogden Co., In Hubert street. One-tolrd ef the block was destroyed. Among the sufferers were a number of fami lies. who occupied the dwellings adjoining. The loss is cstlmated at SIOO,OOO. Phospho rus was used, and It is thought the intention was to destroy the government warehouse adjoining, where Immense quantities of army clothing ate stored. LATER. New York, Wednesday, Not. 30.—The mahogany lumber yard of Ogden Co., which waa almost totally destroyed by Are early thla morning, occupied one-third-ol the block on Washington street, between Hubert and Beach, and extended through to West street, occupying the whole block on Hubert street between Washington and West streets. The yald was filled with an Immense stock ol mahogany and valuable timber, valued at M 50.0&0. The fire was discovered in the cen tre ofthsyard bySergl Barrel, who atones gave the alarm. The origin of- the fire is still enveloped in mystery, although, from an in vestigatlon made, there is no donbt that B was incendiary, and bat another act in the di abolical plot to lay the city In ashes. There are no lights used in the yard, which iastrict ly watchedand guarded. It is supposed that some combustible material was torown by the incendiary into the midst of the lumber. In the vicinity of the lumber yard, within half a block, is an immense government ware house, one of the largest In the city, and It was conjectured that the object of the incendiary, was to destroy this, but no -access could be gained to it, there being an amed guard con stantly on duty. -By setting fire.to the lum beryard the whole block, including the ware house, was Jeopardized. It was approaching a miracle that any portion was saved. Btrenu ous efforts are being made to discover the in cn be had for one, two, ibree, or four hundred dollars, according to the size you wish: It takes up very little room, ana may stand In any part of the church; It Is not affected by heal or coW, or any choice of tem nerature; it remain* for a long period in tune; and lastly.

(El)icago tribune THURSDAY DECEMBER. 1. ISC!. A, DIVIDED SOUTH# Straight out Copperheads and weak-kneed Union Thomases at the North have been ac customed to tel us all along that we never can conquer the South because of their unan imity. This same declaration has been also the burden of Southern boast and the final flourish to every blast of theirtrumpets. The Southern heart was fired. ”lts blood was up. By the white heat of their tropical passions they were welded Into one arm and one hanjl to strike for their altars, smoking with the sacrificial tributes wrung from the unpaid l£bor of men and women. The chivalry of the South were never to lower the banner which Havne and Calhoun cs«yed to raise. The women of the South were ready to submit to the surgical operation which should transform them into Amazons,, and to evince their passion for slaughter. turned bkulls Into drinking cops and bones in to finger rings; tbc children of tlic South were lo he led to the altar, and like Hannibal, lake the oath of everlasting hatred to the Tan- Itoes’ even Sambo and CufTec among the cot ton bolls and rice swamps, shared the univer sal fervor and were ready to devote anew their to the lash and their legs to the lender mcicies of the blood hound. The precedents of history were ignored and the world at large unaccustomed to such nnanlm ily, the old lowers which had learned to their sorrow, that there was always an anti-war party whatever might be the charac ter •of the war,, stood by in blank amazement and witnessed this model' example of unanimity. But the trouble was they could not see below the sty face. The absolute and inflexible grasp that Tvas bolding together these elements was concealed. Jeff. Davis and his co-adjutors held the reins with a firm grasp, and as they pulled the strings the poppets moved. We at the North were somewhat amazed, for we started out at the tall of Sumter as unanimous as they, but before the year was ont found that we were losing tenacity, and that par. tides were crumbling off here and there. There was.no absolutism to hold ns together, but the jMjoplc following the guidance of the }i"hts of self-government corrected the er ror so emphatically at the late election that there is little danger of any trouble in future. It is now the turn of the South to expe rience a dissolution of unanimity, and the'fis sure will widen until the lahric is disinte grated for this reason. .The North has not fdt the war, except in the custoipaiy loss o 1 life and financial appreciation. Tho South has lo bear these necessary evils in addition to the pretence of armies and shocks of bat. ties upon her own soil, with the immense physical loss attendant thereupon, which must soon convert their country into a howl jug desert, and antedate their very existence ba'ek to the time, at least, when their cbival rio ancestors bought women from the crowded capitals of Europe with tobacco. The signs of approaching dissolution, apart from the manifest and objective results ofoor invasions; arc palpable to the most casual observer, and the extracts we print elsewhere from the rebel press clearly indicate them. While tbc Union Congress has progressed from a divided and discordant body to almost perfect unanimity, the rebel Congress has re. trograded from almost perfect unanimity to. a house divided against itself The people are fast-arousing themselves to the fact that by secret legislation and the exercise of tmtram meled, arbitrary power, Davis and his clique arc drawing round them the tolls of a great and powerful central despotism, which once attained will casQy transform itself into abso lutism. The rebel press are already sounding tbc alarm that Davis Is endeavoring to cen tralise bis power under a dictatorship, and warn tbeir Congressmen not to be too hasty “in surrendering the rights and liberties of tbeir constituents into the bands of the mili tary power.” The wholesale conscription which Davis and his Congress are determined to cany oat and which they must carry, out as it is their last ray of hope, meets with no la. vor at the hands of the people or the press. The latter declare that it strikes at the root of civil liberty, and places -all power in the hands of the military. The people are de manding knowledge of tbc acts of the legisla tors. The Charleston Mercury says: “It is high time for the people and the press of the Confederate States to lift a voids of earnest condemnation of this new system ofmanufac. luring public opinion the Macon TeU graph, alluding to secret sessions, s says plain ly; “Wc lear that some of the servants of the people have got the idea into their noddles that they are the masters,and would fiiln pfty the part of grand seigniors. Let there be an end to the insolent presumption,else we warn these gentry tuat the bobble of their great ness will collapse suddenly and disgracefully.” Last, but not least.tlie rebel press is thorough ly aroused to a sense of the frailness of its own existence. Tbc Augosta Chronicle depre cates “the alarming disposition on the part of the President to. usurp despotic power” and “heartily seconds the proposition for a convention of tbc press to defend its freedom and rights against executive tyranny.” These arc some of the facts which indicate that the Sonlh is already divided. Join to these the open resistance of Got. Brown and Gov. Vance to measures of the Administra. tion, the armed opposition to the conscription in North Carolina, the formation of a recon struction party, the half-smothered cites for peace that come to ns,at inteivala, and the moral and physical effects that most result from Sherman’s bold and energetic move ment, and who cannot see that the South is divided against itself; that Davis has sown the 'wind and is reaping the whirlwind; that the voice of the people is making itself heard, and will prove, as always, the voice of God. TEE TBEASCBT DEPART.TLENX* The Cincinnati Gazette proposes and the Springfield Republican endorses the nomina tion of Hugh McCulloch, Esq., the present Comptroller of the Currency, for the office of Secretary’ of the Treasury, in the event that Mr. Fessenden retires on the 4tb of March next. Mr. McCulloch is one of the soundest business men in the United States. Bis financial ability Ims been proven, first as President of the State Bank of Indiana and* subsequently as the head of the Currency Bureau of the Government, to the satisfaction of all sections of the country. We know that be possessed in the highest degree the confi dence of Mr. Chase, and that Mr. Fessenden mged his appointment as Secretary, when Mr. Chase resigned. There arc few men pos sessing the requisite qualifications for the office of Secretary of the Treasury in a time like ibis and enjoying the confidence of the capitalists of the country, but of this small number Mr. McCulloch is one. THE PEMTENTUBf LEASE. We presented some considerations a few days since showing that the lease of the Joliet Penitentiary, being stcc]>ed In fraud, should be dcelaicd void. There is another reason vblch, in our judgment, makes it void with out nnv action on the part of the Legislature. The Constitution of the State, in -section 7, article IH, says: Nor shall any member of the General Assem bly l>e interested either directly or Indirectly in nuy contract with the State, or any county thereof, authorized by an}’ law passed during the tuna for which he shall have been elected, or donng one year alter the expiration thereof.” The Hon. S. A. fcuckmastcr, with, perhaps, two or tin ee partners, has bought the lease of tbe Pc nitcnliary for the sum of $200,000. He w a;- a member of the General Assembly from Mrtuisou county, and Speaker of the House of Btpre&enlalircs when the law was passed, lie has become directly interested 44 in a con i'act willi the State, authorized by a law' passed during tbe time for which be was elect ed.” He fills the bill exactly. We think it about time for him to disgorge. APOSTLES OF PEACE, Mr. William Cornell Jewett, of Colorado Territory, has apparently been reading ■jhe posthumous letters of Cyrus H. McCormick. He has addressed a communitation to the Picsident showing tbe happy results to be achieved by putting tbe Chicago platform in force without further delay. Mr. Jewett has a dearness of expression, and a logical way of treating his subject, which reminds ns powerfully of the writings of Mr. McCormick. He says: 44 1 do most earnestly and respectfully suggest tliat you must now, as President of the United States, cither yield to the will of the majority, and press a war of subjugation against the South, to secure the Union and free the stave—to do which the neutrality of Europe is necessary, and only secured through a recognition of MaxumUian; or you must yield to the united majority and minori ty voice of the people: to meet the voice of that minority by inaugurating a policy of negotiation for peace, and to meet the voice of the majority, during said negotiation no cessation of hostili ties." Mr. Jewett says that he has lately had an interview with Mr. Clay of Alabama, on the neutral soil of Canada, and that Mr. Clay told him that the Nocth had given so large a mojoi ity for Mr. Lincoln that negotiation was now impossible, and the war must go on— from which he, (Jewett, of Colorado), argues that we arc just in the nick of time for a peace Convention. We have not seen the comments of H. G., on Mr. Jewett’s last effort In the direction of peace, but they will be looked for with interest. rsr The fact of heavy robberies “Laving been perpetrated In the Navy Yard at Phila delphia by those in the employ of the United Slates authorities has leaked out. Itlsstatcd that a series of larcenies have been going on for a period of two or three years. An im mense amount of copper, lead pipe, tin, rosin, nud'in fact all materials used in the Kavy Yard, have been stolen. At first the actual value of the property stolen was fixed at SIO,OOO. From that it grew* to half a million, and on Saturday it ■was estimated at between SIOO,OOO and $300,000. An Investigation Is now pending by the military authorities, and the “knowing ones” say that ±he examina tion will occupy nearly two months yet, and until that is completed the-true condition of affairs will not bo laid before the pub lic. The investigation, os'it progresses, is said to bring forth* new developments almsst daily, and additional partleTare implicated.

He said it was the greatest of American fruits, being the hardiest, most widely distributed and the most useful.. The tree often reaches thegreat age of two huh* died years. The fruit is always a luxury. Even a pear may not vie with it in luscious ness, and it has one peculiarity, which not even the peach can share, it never cloys. Mr. Beecher ran over the various methods of pre paring it for the tabic, and indulged in a most glowing apostrophe to the apple pie and its blessed inventor. The use of cider,he thought, was gradually creeping back from the obli vion to which the progress of temperance had consigned it, and although, as a temperance man, he could not'recommcnd its use, If you icflZ make it,” said he, 41 1 beg of yon to make it good.'!

The Question of the Hoar—What shall he done with (he Oath-Taker*—An Interesting meeting at the White Bonne—Egypt and a Hint for Wis consin. Washington, Monday, Nov. £3. THE QUESTION OF THE HOUK. g The lute development of rebel emissaries in New York city is the absorbing topic pf'the day. It is a remarkable fact that for several weeks suspicious characters have been hud dling about hotels and other public, places of out eastern cities; and it is ano less remark able lact that for several weeks past deser tions from the rebel army have been unusually numerous, and the oath of allegiance has been administered more freely than at any previous time. Ido not Implicate; but the coincidence Is one which any close observer could not fall to mark. Not a day. passes but we see announcements of deserters taking the oath and being sent North. They come by fifties andby hundreds. They are virtually exempt from service in our armies, and heDce_are_not under that surveil lance which even our own soldiers endure. Besides, if competent; they take the positions of trust and responsibility which our own men had. filled, before the 'war, and thus their circumstances art made peen— liarly favorable for carrying out any evil de signs which. possibly, they might entertain. I appeal to those who have had experience in. the army whether two-thirds of these desert ers do not come—to say the most for them— into our lines merely to escape danger—and such Unionism, such patriotism, Is not incor ruptible. i- Moreover, are we oblivious to the fact that there are thousands of men in the South who will not hesitate a moment to break an oath administered by the authorities of the United States, screening themselves under their Ik .vorite.argument that “there are no United States.” And can we doubt that in a whole army of traitors there could plenty of men be found reckless enough to use this subterfuge, at once, to aid the rebellion sad gratify their own devilish malice? These are questions wo cannot afford to wink at. Self protection is both a national and individual! duty. Our homes and firesides are too sacred, to be jeon* aidizcd by a doubtful charity. But the question arises, what shattbe done? Shall the Government depart from iU prescnt policy towards deserters?.. No, T would answer, hut amend iC In the first place, It would certainly not hr unjust for our military authorities to deal withi these men vhiy have heat found on the eremfs side, •with no less leniency than with our own soldiers against whom there is prcsomtiv£ evidence of guilt: and wc all know that, in the latter case the accnscd Is held as guilty 19L he has proved himself innocent. lu bdh’sStnt leges. This course, if adopted in dealing; with our erring: penitents, would place over them some kino- of surveillance which would thwart the pur poses of any who plot mischief, while, If pro- i l»crly tempered with mercy.* it-would prove I but little inconvenience to tnosewho are sin cere. Secondly, if these deserters arc- fricuds r of the Government which they swcairto support —if not they should not be allowcdto come— what injustice can there be In asking them, nay, even compelling them, if necessary,to do tbeir part in its defense? Of no one would ask to have them sent where they would be liable to capture,which in their case would be equivalent to death. But the Government has hundreds of places far away from the hos tile armies, in which they could be used to profit; and here they would be nndemo re straints that an honest man and a patriot could object to. By this method they would at once he supplied with honorable employ ment, of a kind, too,which would shield them from the wiles of northern traitors, of whom every city has its Any idler is open to corruption, and, especially. Is he in danger of yieldmgto the seducer if be happen to have a prepossession for the forbidden fruit which is offered him. The following clause in thclate order,issued Nov. 12th, with regard to the treatment of-de serters, deserves, at this time, a serious re consideration. Hereafter deserters from the Confederate army, who deliver themselves up to the United States forces will, on taking an oath that they will not again take up arms during the present rebellion, be furnished subsistence and free transportation to their homes, Ifthe same are within the lines of Federal occupation. If their homes art not within such lines; they will be furnished with subsistence and free trans portation to any point in the Northern States. 'K, Li our eagerness to save the innocent men who have been driven into tbe rebellion against their will, ve have opened the door for the imposter and the assassin, we most change our policy. And the sooner it is done, the better as nr A curious interview tookplaceat the White House to-day, between the President and one of his old Sucker friends. Just thirty-four years ago they first met, and under the fol lowing circumstances: It was in the spring,. and the country had been flooded with rain and, of course, the bottom had fallen ont ol the roads. The little river of Ocaw bad spread itself for and wide over the bottoms, so much so' that the good people of Sangamon, then a village of no pre tensions,'but the scene' of our comedy—be lieved it dangerous for min or beast to cross. And no wonder they huddled on the banks one morning when the stream was at its highest, and watched with more than ordina ry interest a solitary ox-team that had started in from the other side, and was working toward then; with a speed barely pcrceptable. Tn this wagon was the Lincoln family; and the tall,“gangling*’,youth astride the near ox, his breeches rolled up some three feet, more or less, a gad in his hand that would have been the delight of a pioneer, pedagogue, was “Abe”—the President. One of the group that stood on tbe bank and watched the new comers and congratulated them when they had got safely over, was the friend who to day was welcomed to the White House. The friend of whom I speak, was afterwards In the Illinois Legislature while “Abe” worked in the still-house to which Douglas frequently called his attention in after year j. Bat the friendship formed at Sangamon was not' forgotten. Young Lincoln frequently counseled the legislator, and finally borrow ed law books from him. which be kept by him in tbo still-honse, ana read during leisure moments. With his history from that time to this every intelligent school boy is, or at least ought to be, familiar. To-day the Sangamon boys had an inter view—“ How are you. Abe? bow does it go to be President?” “O, well, its more than I contracted for.” Not much court style about that, but there’s nobility in that cordial grasp of the band—reciprocating at the White House in 1864 favors received on the banks of the Ocaw in 1830. “EGYPT.” Now that the southern part of your State has cast out her “flesh pots.” has broken her idols—has immured her Allens in that po litical obscurity whence no demagogue ever returns, would it not be well to have her re-christened and to transfer Egypt to your neighboring State of Wisconsin? Ifl mistake not there is apolitical swall up-the lake shore, including Washington and Ozakoe counties, which coma do honor to the name. The fact that Mr. Eldridge vegetates and is re-elected in this region must be sufficient evidence to any well informed mind that the arts and sciences do no longer flourish there. That the good people of the swall—in which will-o’-lho-wisps, of course, flourish—should believe in gbosts and should worship the sphinx is not to be wondered at. And, by all means, let their section of country have the ancient name to which Ha advancement in civilization entitles it. Egjpti yes. they’ll like that; and how interesting it will b« for the future Howadjl to stand on thelrpyramids of potash and survey the ravages of civiliza tion. Will he not exclaim, Here lived and loved a people in the year 1804, of the nine teenth ccntuiy, who, by electing a Northern pro-slavery man (in those days called Copper head) to Congress, won for their District the name Egypt So mote It be. Scpeb. The Government Declines to Deceive The Anglo»Behcl Peace Address* About six weeks ago Mr. Joseph Parker, of Manchester, England, arrived at New York, bringing with him the peace address of the subjects of Great Britain and Ireland, with a letter from Sir Henry De Houghton to Gov ernor Seymour, who declined formally to re ceive it, assigning as a reason that it should. be given Id tbe President of the United States, the latter being the only authorized channel of communication between other na tions and tbe citizens of the United States; and besides, Governor Seymour said his offi cial position did not authorize him to accept the address in behalf of other States, and that it would be better to withhold tbe document until after the Presidential election, so as to avoid the aopcarance of interfering with the canvass. Mr. Parker conformed to these sug gestions, and having arrived here last we».k, addressed a note to Secretary Seward, stating that he had been deputed to this country to convey the address to the people of the Uni ted States, and asked the honor of the oppor* tnnity of presenting It to the President. To this the Secretary replied that, before an swering the letter, it was desirable to be fur ther inlbrmed whether Mr. Parker had au thority from the government of Great Britain and Ireland for the purpose referred to, and whether his mission had been made known to the diplomatic agent of that government near the government of tbe United States. Mr. Parker replied by saying that the address he had the honor of bringing to this country, containing tbe signatures of some three hun dred and fifty thousand of his countrymen, from the peer to fhe artisan, was not from the government of Great Britain, nor from any political party. It was simplyan expres sion of the eanfest desire of Great Britain to see peace restored again to this continent. The correspondence closed by a note from the Secretary of State, in which he said the government of the United Slates could not receive the address, and that the request for an interview with the President was there fore declined. This address has alreany been published, and is signed by many Southern sympathizers, who ask the government of the United States to cease hostilities against that section of the conntiy. The intention now is to present tbe address to Congress at the approaching seas on. 130J583 150,423 130,223 Important Indian Treaty. [From the Idaho Statesmen. Oct, 13.] Governor Lyon, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Idaho Territory, held a grand council for the Shoshone Indians (commonly known as Snakes) at Eort Boise, on Monday last, the 10th inst., and treated with them for all the land thirty miles each side of Boise Hirer, from the source to Us mouth. Two hundred snd fifty Indians were present. Tam Tomeco, the principal chief, and twelve hoad m> n represented the Shoshones. Col. Maury, Major Truaxand other officers of the garrison were witnesses to the contract. This treaty is all that could be desired by the settlers In the Territory, and will tend to put a atop to Indian troubles. The Governor has been with us but a few days, and has accomplished the work of months, and in some instances of years. He will lcave~in a few days for the southern part of the Territory, for the pur pose of effecting treaties with the other In ian tribes. 76 MEETING AT THE WHITE BOUSE. G-EN. SHERMAN. The IVXaroh to the Capital of Georgia. chbonologicai resume of THE EXPEDITION. [From the N. Y. Herald, Nor. 23.] In a former artield; announcing the com mencement of the march from Atlanta, wo have given the history of the events which lod Gen. Sherman to undertake the campaign. On October 33d Hood escaped the pursuing army of Sherman by moving through the Gadsden Gap of Lookout Mountain; bnt not before Sherman had, with wise forethought and precaution, organized an army under Thomas to meet him on'-the Tennessee river. Finding HoT/d was safe beyond the reach of the blow he was prepai ingfor his destruction,. Sherman determined to ignore his existence and strike in another direction, and not less, vital part of the Confederacy. “Let Hood go North, 1 he had said to his council of war; “our business is down South; if be will go to the Ohio river I will give.him his rations.” The preparations for the march began. The anny was specially clothed, armed land reor ganized in two wings for the movement, and then rapidly marened to Atlanta. On No vember 12 Sherman left’Kingston for the Gate City, declaring his purpose and bidding the North adieu in the following remarkable tele gram: Hood has crossed tbe Tennessee: Thomas will take care of him and Kashville, whilo Schofield will not let him Into Chattanooga or Knoxville. Georgia and South Carolina are at my mercy, and 1 shall strike, Donotbennxiousaboutme; lam all right \Vhilst at Kingston Sherman issued his or der for the march, This order, which wc pare on the 25th inst,, has excited the admi ration of the whole country. It Is character istic of the man, and containing, as It does, a plain statement of his intentions towards the citizens of the country through which he was about to pass, will- refute all charges of any purpose tv wilfully destroy and desolate tho country. Some day r for final preparations wore re quired after reaching Atlanta, and it was not until' the Itith that the march began. WEDNESDAY, NOVZUBER IC. "While Atlanta was yet in flames the two wings of the ann£ began the movement sim ultaneously, the right moving directly south and.thelclt due east from Atlanta. General Howard’s wing, wilh-a large cavalry force to advance, moved through Eastpoint r and at Bough and Beady encountered a cavalry force under General Iverson, and a brisk but- brief engag meat followed, in which the rebels were driven. Iverson cculd not hope to do more than delay the advance, and thit-was not effectually accomplished, for Howard ap pears to have made his fifteen, miles during, the day,.and to have encamped that night near Jonesboro. tbo left wing, under G'moral moved out to Decatur, where the two corps divided, one going direct by tbo Covingtors road, parallel with the Georgia* railroad,, while the other moved north o£ the railroad by way of Rockbridge, each destined for Cov ington. TnmtSDAT, NOVEMBC3 17, The right wing advanced upon Jonesboro, and later in the day-upon McDonough, which they occupied,, driving out Wheelers cavalry and Cobb’s militia. The former fallback on GriHln, and the latter upon Barncsville. The railroad buildings at Jonesboro, and the court Louse and other public buildings at Mc- Donough were burned, which doubtless- gave rise to the rebel report of the complete destruction of these places. The advance of Geo. Slocum, consisting of a small force of cavalry, entered Social Circle, and burned the railroad buildings there. The two infantry corps forming this wing united' at Covington ana pushed eastward from that point, after destroying such buildings in the town as could be of use to tbo enemy. FRIDAY,. NOVEMBER 18. Gen. Howard poshed forward his infantry to Griffin, and his cavalry entered Forsyth,, cutting.the railroad to Macon at that point.- The rebel forces fell back to Macou. While the cavaliy by this movement led the rebels to suppose Howard was moving directly upon Macon, that officer changed his direction and marched directly cast, and the rest ofhis cav alry reached Monticelio and Hillsboro, which places arc also reported, destroyed. The in fantry forces were encamped near Jackson and Indian Spring. General Slocum’s operations on this day arc not detailed by the enemy. It is only known that he pushed forward along the Georgia railroad and encamped somewhere In the vicinity of Madison station. So rapid had been Sherman’s movements, and so close was he now upon the capital of the State, that the Georgia Legislature infor mally adjonrnedand fled to tho v SATURDAY NOVEMBER 19. General Howard appears to have moved dne cast from Indian Spring to the Oomulgee river, and to have employed, lha day inbridg ing the liver. General Slocum, meeting with no opposi tion, moved eastward along the Georgia rail road, his cavalry advance destroying the road and stations as they moved forward^ It was now so apparent that. Sherman had gone around Macon that confl&nce was re stored in that city, and, now that all immedi ate danger was over, the valiaqt citizens de clared it to be their intention to defend it to 'the last. SUNDAY, NOV- 20. General Howard’* wing affected, the passage ol the Oomnlgee and advanced, direct upon Milledpeville, the capital of Georgia, his ad vance entering the place after dark. A force of onr cavalry struck the Georgia Central railroad «t Grlowolclvlllc, tore up the track, captured a lumber train, which they destroyed, cut the telegraph wire and severed communications between Savannah and Ma con, and left Cobb and his troops far in the rear of Howard, who, having thus made a feint on Macon, had entirely avoided it for the purpose of capturing Milledgevillc. This cavalry force then pushed on to Gor don, where it encountered a force under Wheeler, and met with the first determined resistance. It is supposed that Wheeler's cav alry had, by forced night marches, reached Got dun in time to throw itself In Howard's front for the purpose of obstructing his march as much as possible. General Blocum moved forward to within twenty miles of Augusta, where he is report ed to have met a force of the enemy and to have been repulsed. WHERE IS SHERMAN GOING We hare thus shown the position of the two main columns ofthearmy on the 20th instant. .The question naturally arises, Where Is Sher man going? In what direction will be the next move? Glancing at the map, it will he seen that within reach of the' right wing Is the great prison camp at Millcn, where so many of our soldiers ore confined, and to which 'many of the AndersonTille prisoners were lately removed for greater security. Fur ther on lies Savannah, in which there are the ten thousand rebels lately exchanged and de livered to the rebel authorities, but who lie there unharmed and helpless, without trans portation by .which to retreat and with no army to defend them. In front of the left wing lies Augusta, the great arsenal of the South, whose importance the Richmond En quirer lately alluded to. calling loudly for its defense; and beyond the Savannah River; and open to the invasion 01 both columns, lies South Carolina. Georgia aud South Carolina," said Sher man, are at my mercy, and I shall strike." It was not uttered thoughtlessly, and the hotbed of treason is abont to reap some of the fruits of her-treachery. Before Sherman lies Charleston on his left and Savannah on his right. He knows whether or not cither place is vulnerable to bis assaults, and will wisely and deliberately decide which to strike. If cither can he carried, he knows the harbor of Beaufort lies directly in his front, and that there there Is safety and plenty. He will pass through South Carolina—it is indeed at his mercy—and he will not fall to leave It deso late; SKETCH OP MILLE37, OA. The nearest point of importance In General Howard’s route is MUlen, Ga., distant one hundred and eight miles from Milledgcviile and seventy-nine from Savannah. It is the capital of Burke county, and has of late years increased In size and population, from having been made the Junction of the Augusta ana Savannah and Central Georgia Railroads. Some months since a camp for union prison ers was established there, and thelargcr part of the troops formerly confined at Anderson ville were removed to this point. The prison Is built upon the same plan as the Anderson ville stockade, and, at onr latest dates, con tained about 25,000 prisoners. These may be removed before Sherman can reach them; bnt the chances are that the railroad transporta tion is now too much occupied In transport ing troops, to defend Savannah and Charles ton, to admit of the removal of so many of onr prisoners from Mlllen. Oar latest intelli gence from Savannah leads ns to hope that the rescue of these prisoners has ere now been accomplished.. We publish herewith a state ment from Savannah November 35, to the ef fect that Sherman was within six horn? march of Milieu, and that the exchange of prisoners had been stopped In consequence of his prox imity to Milieu. SKETCH OP AUGUSTA. Augusta, Ga., the most important city with in reach of Gen. Sherman, and of the occupa tion of which we anticipate an early announce ment, Is, in a military sense, one of the most important cities of the South. It is situated on the southwest bank of the Savannah River, one hundred and twenty miles from its month, and has river and rail road connections with the coast at Savannah and Charleston. It is handsomely built, many of the houses being spacious and elegant, and bas a population of about 20,000 inhabitants. As the capital of Richmond county, it has a spacious city hall, court house and jail, while a Government arsenal, powder mill, hospital and several other public buildings, grace the city. A canal, nine miles in length, famish ing an immense water power to the city, has attracted a large number of manufacturers to tbe city, and many important manufactories and rolling mills have been in operation here for years. GOVERNMENT WORKS. The war has added new importance to these* Tbe State Arsenal has been seized and en larged by the rebel authorities,' and a large powder mill has been erected. A number of other works have also been built by tbe rebels, until the city is almost absorbed in tbe pro duction of maierid of war. Among these works are tbe'following: Confederate States Government Works— Col. 6. W. Rsins commander; Major John Q. Barnwell, ordnance officer. Atlanta Arsenal—Col. M. H. Wright, com mander Capt. J. H. Analey, assistant. Nitre and Mining Bureau—W. A. Pratt, Su perintendent. Powder Mills. FORTIFICATIONS. Immediately after tbe fall of Atlanta the rebel Government decided upon fortifying Augusta, as well as Macon and other points. Major C. L. Sayre, of the rebel Inspector Gen eral’s Department, was authorized to impress slaves in the counties of Richmond, Burke,. Jefferson, Glascock, Warren, Columbia and Criven, and for a month past a large forte has been engaged upon these works. Unless a large force of veteran troops has been pushed forward into Augusta to mold these works, Slocum will walk over them against all the militia that can be gathered together in the surrounding counties. The destruction of the works at Augusta would be a serious blow to the Confederacy. SKETCH OF SAVANNAH, OA, Wc have often described the city of Savan nah, and our readers are doubtless familiar with Us general features. These descriptions have been chiefly devoted to giving a view of the harbor defenses, no attack ever having been made or imagined from the rear. The city is built on a sandy plain, bnt slightlr ele vated above the level of the tide, and has been considered unhealthy on account of the swamps in its rear.' It is, consequently, not admirably suited for defenses commanding the rand approaches. Fortifications have, however, been built, but not very great in extent, and are at this lime incomplete. Two years ago the rebel General Government threw such obstacles in the way of the building of fortifications commanding the land approaches as to call forth the most bitter denunciations from Governor Brown and General H. W. Mercer, commanding the city. Very few troops were in the city at the time General Sherman began his march, and we have no positive assurance that the garrison has been reinforced dining the present emergency. Atrocious iidbdeb. An minob Citizen Killed In lowa on oli way Home from Idalio—Fall Do* *s“* °f tbe Crime—Coiilesaiou of tiie Murderer. [From the Galena (HI.) Gazette, 26th.] Mr. SherrardJJ. Townsend, of the town of Bosh, an old and respected citizen of this county, and a brother of H. S. and Geo. N. Townsend, of the same town, was murdered on the Bth of last October, while on his way home from Idaho. The following are the cir-. cmnstanccs: XT. Townsend left his borne early last April for Idaho, which place he reached about the Ist of Am gust. Not finding the country os promising as he expected, he soon made pre parations to return home. An old man about sixty years of age, named Joseph McMillan, from Montgomery county. ncarPana, 111., whs at this lime to Idaho, and on teaming that Ur. Townsend was about to retmm home, he begged the privilege of riding with him. representing at the same time, that he had nomoney and noway to get home. MrHPr had a good team of mules, and belns a kind hearted man he was touched by-the old*man’s story, and told him' lie would take htoalong free of charge. Abort the last ..of August they started out on their long Journey across the country, Intending; to cross the Jussissip pi at Dubuque. Mr. Townsend treated the old man very kindly on* the way home, always addressing him as father,” On the Bth of October! they reached Story county, lowa, and, as night came on, they’ called atahouse Justbcs ond the village of Nevada, where Mr. T, purchased h 'cabbage and a squash, telling the old-man -that these vegetables, together with seme corned, beef, winch they had in the wagon, would make them a fine breaklhst. They then-drove along, and the people of the house noticed that, be fore reaching the village, the}? drove oat a short distance from the road, to 1 the bank of »crcek, where they camped for* the night. The next miming they saw the old-moa hitch up the team and drive oil nlbne,, which awakened suspicion that all waff-not right. The old man pursued his Journey alune^-offer ing nil along. to sell the team of two* mules and one good horse, together with' the re mainder of the outfit, fur 8500. As the prop erty was worth about S3OO, those to whom he offered it refused to purchase ou the-' supposi tion that he had stolen it. About ten days subsequent to the timethat the parties comped at Nevada, a gentleman being sear the spot hunting, saw, just at the edgeofthe creek,.a man’s whiskers andi the toes of his boots sticking out of the ground. He at once removed the earth from the body and found the head almost split in two from a blow which mashed in the left tide of the skull and cracked It nearly around. A rope* was about the neck of the corpse, which -had been used in dragging the body from 'the' scene of the murder to the spot where he wns> hurled. Further search was mode, and within flve rods of where the body was discovered they found where the two men had camped. A'- shovel was also Ibahd- here, and the axe with' l which the damning deed, was committed. As soon as these lacis were brought to light,. the people of Nevada sent two men In search of the murderer and- the team. They also had two hundred photographs of the mur dered man taken and sent to .all parts of lowa, with the hope that they might meet the eye-of some one who knew him Mr. William H. Ankeny, of Clinton, accidentally saw one of these photographs, and at once recognized it as that ofa. B. Townsend, with whom he had been well-acquainted.-. He im mediately telegraphed, to. Air. H. 8. Town send, who, on the rccelpt of the news, start ed with his brother, .G. N- Townsend, for Ne vada, -At Clinton they were joined by Mr. Ankeny, who went with them to. assist in identifying the body. The people of Nevada gave: them a descrip tion orjhc murderer which Ankeny said an swered exactly to the description of an old man from ncarFana. who went to Idaho last Spring in the same train with himself. The Townsend brothers lost no time in hurrying to Fana, where they found'McMnllenandhad him arrested. He owned that hesiarted from Idaho with Townsend,, bat said that they parted at Des Moines, which Is thirty miles beyond Nevada, and that he did not see Townsend afterwards. Mr. Ankeny with an officer took the prisoner to Nevada, and while on his way there be confessed, his guilt. At Nevada he was examined.when he again con roAKd the -whole, and was committed to Jail to await his trial at the District Court in that county next April. He confessed to Mr. An keny that he had., been in tho rebel service and. his neighbors sup pose him to have been a Mlssourfbushwhack cr. The brothers of the murdered man re ceived a letter from Nevada, a few days ago, stating that the team had been, recovered,and that the man who purchased U pald but $450 for it. Mr. Townsend is supposed to have had about SI,OOO on his person at the time the murder was committed. This the mur derer has squandered away, and none of it will ever be recovered. Sir. Townsend was an honest, upright citi zen and a man of considerable- property. He was a native of the lead mine region, and was .nearly forty years of age. He leaves a wife and. an adopted son about ten years old, to whom he willed hia property before starting to Idaho. WISCONSIN ITEMS. The Elkhorn Independent says the people of the town of Lafayette recently appointed a committee to solicit vegetables for the sol diers. They procured twenty barrels of vege tables and a barrel of sour krout, which were promptly forwarded to the Christian Commis sion. It is announced that the supplemental draft in the 4th district will commence about the Ist of December. The Fond du Lac CommomctoUh records the death of Henry Taylor, Lieutenant In the 21st, and son of Mayor Taylor, of that city, while a prisoner at Charleston, S. C. The Press says lumbermen are leaving for tho woods in large numbers, for the winter cam paign among the pines. Choppers command higher prices than usual, but there docs not appear to be any scarcity of hands. Tenement houses arc very scarce in Fond du Lac.. The Oshkosh JAbri/itwsfcrn says the sawmills In that city have shut down for the winter, bnt there is lumber enough on hand to keep the railroad busy until they start up again in the spring. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONETARY. Wednesday Evening, Nov. 30,150 L The decline in gold has somewhat checked ope rations, and the demand on bankers has not been so great to-day as for the two or three previous days. The bankers like this, os it affords them a breathing spell and a chance to recuperate. The weather is not sneb as to give confidence to pack ers, and the decline in gold affords a good excuse for bolding np a little, and wc should not wonder If they did so.

Stocks.— On this branch of speculation, the Philadelphia Prest, of Monday, says: Tbe excitement In Oil stocks still rages, with no prsspcctofan early abatement. New shares are coDstantlyjieing thrust upon the market, new companies forming In all sorts of places, and by all sorts of men, and such wonders are produced that nothing like them was ever heard of before. The business of buying and selling Oil stocks has entirely lost—if. Indeed, it ever enjoyed -the char acter ,of legitimacy. The transactions at the Stock Exchange in this particular description of securities are almost exclusively on a fictitious basis. People anxious to bay, rash In headlong, and are evidently at the mercy of the cooler heads that always profit by the inexperience and gullibility of new accessions to the army of speculators. It Is amusing to sec how eagerly they read and believed every bogus telegraphic dispatch announcing, from “Our Superinten dent,’’ the striking of a new well, a thousand barrels a day. They at once bid for that valuable stock, and they are outbid by some one dec who has Been the.Bame dispatch, and believes it more implicitly; and bo the original reaphonntifnlhirresls.

Great Break in the Erie Canal—Probable Close of Navagation ou the Western Divi sion* [From the Rochester Democrat] A break of a very serious character occurred on the Erie canal, two miles cast of Bosbncirs Basin, yesterday about noon. There is at that point a heavy embankment, (Tom forty to filly feet in height Itissafd that the water was first seen bursting out through a hole on the tow path side, about seven feet below the top of the embankment, and al most immediately the whole mass of earth and sand gave way. The water rushed through the gap in an immense and constantly increasing volume until the whole of the level was emptied. It la said that a house was carried away bv the torrent, and that a man who was In the building perished. Abont two hundred feet of the tow path are gone and the bottom of the canal is'carried oat for a long distance each way. It Is roughly .estimated that from thirty-five, thousand to Tony thousand yards of earth arc gone. Canal men who are posted, say that there Is no possibility of repairing this break the present sea son so as to pfess boats before December Bth. which date has been determined upon os the close of navigation. Ills extremely difilenlt to procare laborers and teams, and tbe few that can o® had must be paid ezorbitantwages. Hr. Selye, the con* tractor, will, however, do all that is possible to hasten the repairs. He has kept* watchman on the embankment where this bre&ic occurcd, the Whole of the past season, and nothing Indicatin'* weak* ness In the earth work has been reported Iblsmisfortune is a heavy one, for boatmen Fortunately it has been delayed until nearly the end of the season, and It has taken place at a mo* ment when very few loaded boats eastward bound, were west of Montezuma. The grand fleet has just passed. Wc saw alcttcr from a boat captain yesterday, dated Syracuse, Nor. 23d. which said that there was a tremendous jam at that place, and the writer expected to be at least twelve hours In getting through the lock. Wc may take it for granted that pt»i naviga tion is dosed, so Cur as communication between Syracuse and cities west ofthalpointls concerned His scarcely possible that repairs can bo com filetcd under, the most favorable circumstances In ess than ten days, and it would require at*least three days to pass heavy boats. That would ns to the day for closing the canals, and that is quite as late as the ordinary course of nature will allow them to be kept open. CHICAGO LUMBER 51AUKET. Wednesday Evening, Nov. SO, 1864.

Interesting Report of the Opera tions of tbe Allied Fleet. Arrows and Armstrong Cans Used lu liuaic. iScpl. 171 CorrcgpoTidence of the Lon^ cod Times.] I take advantage of the opportune tlepar ture ofthc Frenchman, to give you the brief account wlfcli has reached me. of an action fought at Simouoeakl by the allied fleets on the 5Lh and Gth Inst., which resulted in the i complete destruction of Prince Nagato’s bat tcries, and that Dalmio’s suing for peacel 1 The fleet consisted of the following vessels: The Euryalus, Conqueror, Tartar,’ Barossa, j Perseus, Argur, Coquette and Bouncer (Eng j lish); Senuramis, Tancrede and Dupleix (Fiench); and Aletalea Cruz, DJambi, Medusa and Amsterdam (Dutch). The merchant j olettmer 'iVklan^,. bearing the American dag, was also present. The Tartan Dupleix, Barossa, Leopard, j Metalen and DJamlil were tjie first vessels to open flic, and were immediately answered vigorously by the Jananese. In three-quar ters of an hour the first battery was silenced, I and shortly alter a storming party was land- I eff, which earned it in gallant style, and j spiked the guns, although it was defended by eight hundred men. On the following day the whole squadron was engaged with tue remaining batteries; but they weie silenced one after another, un til, in the afternoon, another storming partv was landed, which, succeeded in carrying several after hard fighting. The Japanese used arrow?, which caused veiy troublesome wounds, m the heads re mained in the flesh after tne shafts had been withdrawn. The Persons got ashore, but was able to use her guns with effect notwithstanding On the morning of the 'i th the Tartar, the Metalen, the D.iamul, and the Dupleix pro ceeded to open fire on the forts at liakosima but the enemy was satisfied, and at eight, a! m., a boat came off bearing- a flag or truce, and having on board one ofNagato’s subjects who had recently returned from England. Ho expressed his regret at having fired on foreign vessels, but, it is said, asserted that he bid been acting under orders from the Tycoon and Mikado.- He expressed his willingness to submit to any conditions, and pay in demnity the allied admirals choose to Impose. Parties were lauded from the fleet, who com pletely demolished the batteries, destroying sixlv guns of large calibre and a number or smaller once, and taking others more valua ble on board the fleet. IBns the Inland sea is now opened. The ships have suffered little or no injury, and comparatively few casualties have hap pened. r Fnrthe*-accounts of the recent action only confirm ibe completeness of the success while at Die same time they showed that the Japanese offered a deternftoed resistance. The allied fleet reached Siqftnosakl on the afternoon of the sth inst., and engaged the eastern batteries almost immediately. The heavier vessels pf the squadron anchored in a commanding position, leaving Her Majesty’s ships Tartar, Barossa and Leopard, his Neth erlands Majesty's sbtys Metalen and Djambi, and his imperial Majesty's ship Dnnleix, to opeirJie. These vessels commeneed’flring at four p. m., at a signal from-the Euryalus, and •the Jap?ne«-.e at once replied. In three-quar ters 01* an how the nearest battery was si lenced, and at forty-five minutes past five an explosion took place in the second, which had the effect of so reducing the fire that it was determined to sloim it. Accordingly, ni forty-five minutes past six in., a storming party was landed from the Perseus and Medusa, which succeeded in car lylng the battery, and spiked most of tho guns. The battery is said to have mounted about thirty guns, and to have been manned by 800 nJen. and Its early capture was highly important, as from its strength It was abfo.to cause great annoyance to he squadron. Negotiations were now opened by tho Prince of Koknra, whose territories lie the southern coast of the Straits. Had this Daimio made common cau6Q,with Chosin, and thus placed the fleet between two fires, the difllcnlty of the operations would have been considerably greatca. But he remained Inac tive, only sending a friendly deputation to beg that we would leave the chastisement of Chosin to his own coantiymen, who were themselves conccmtlng measures to him to his senses.—Tnis statement, however savored too much of the usual temporizing policy of the Japanese lo have any effect, and he was informed that It was too late, wo had waited long enough, and intended now to open the sea ourselves. In the meantime the Perseus, Argus, Co quette, Bouncer, Medusa and Tancrcde played on the remaining batteries UU dark, the slips which had been engaged in the first bombard, ment passing bigber up. the Strait. The Jap anese forts opened fire on these at daylight the following morning, when the Armstrongs of the Baro&sa were worked with great effect. At ten minntes to 6 a. m. the enemy’s guns had been silenced; but shortly afterwards they again commenced firing, and a body of marines was collected on board the Arena pre paratory to landing. A body of smau-ann men, from the French and Dutch ships, were also held in readiness, and the whole were landed about Ba. m. Within two hours the batteries which bad boon engaged were in possession of the allies. The Perseus went on shore while protecting the landing parties and was not got off until the next day: bu{ I she was able to use her guns with effect not withstanding, the Barossa taking up a nosi .tion to protect her. 6 v In the evening a storming party of marines and. Email-arm men, from the Emyalus and 1 Conqueror, landed, under command of Capt. Alexander, and carried a masked battery after some bard fighting, in which wo experi enced considerable loss? At daylight the squadron, w&ch had been engaged on the previous day, steamed up to t engage the forts at Haku-Slma, buthadhaxdly 1 opened fire when Keen to sent off an oflicial to the flagship to treat Tor terms, and In a short time a signal for trace was ran up to the Eu lyalue* masthead. I X mentioned the names of the officers who had been wounded, when writing by tho French mail. Our total loss, so far as I can 5 learn, was about 15 killed and 50 wounded out of which the casualties on board the Eu ryalas alone were 20. Cant Alexander will go home by the next moil, invalided, and will be succeeded In command of the flagship by Capt Dowell, of the Barossa.

Anticipating the operations of the Confed erate Congress, we call the attention of the Southern press to a matter of vital interest, which concerns our safety, as a people—to-wit: the secret sessions of Congress. There is so much that is dangerous to the liberties of the people and so unjust in the irregular workings of secret legislation that it has become abso lutely necessary to use all available opposi tion to prevent the offensive practice. That there is nothing advantageous to the country gained by bar Congress legislating in secret session is evident in the fact that the enemy, with their perfect system of espionage, quick ly learn all the plans that arc proposed, and, by promptly acting upon their knowledge, they have and will continue to apply it to our detriment. Our internal enemies, the harpies and heartless speculators of the land, manage to discover the legislation of secret sessions, and thus ore furnished with a basis of knowl edge with which they enrich themselves and rum the masses. Many radical changes will be agitated by the next Congress, aha as that body is chictly made up of men who have de cided military predilections, frhich they have absorbed daring their military career, we tear they will essay to make a strong Government', and cast round the structure ol our Confeder acy a great and powerful central despotism, which will seek to dispense with all that have hitherto been the safeguards of our freedom, and invented with republican beauty the simple structure on which oar palladium -of liberty is placed. Already the alarm has been sounded that unwise men are on the battlements of our Confederate halls of legislation. They threat.. cn to destroy not only the rights and liberties of the citizen, but the privileges of the sol dier. Wo have been the sport of military domination so long thatlegislators anticipate success and the plaudits of tie army in their attacks. upon civil liberty. They presume that, by inuring the public mind to constant encroachments, small in themselves, hut Im mense and Incalculably dangerous in the ag gregate, the people will become familiarized to the despotism they hope to establish in the temple we are erecting. Already the In discretion of some of the more sanguine has intimated the course they have determined upon. Some, by Insinuation, and others in unmistakable sentences, have said that a dic tator isneeded for the country and that the centralization of power under such ahead is a foregone conclusion. A dictator, then, is the first and all absorb ing object of these men. They have touched the mutter lightly during the past two ses sions, and merely sounded the public tone. By familiarizing the people .to it gradually it is divested of much of Its terrible hideous- By manipulating with the mystery of secret sessions, on .the subject they hops to still the voice of the people, and by the sud den display of foisting a military dictator upon the country they expect to overwhelm all opposition and oblige the people to sub mit to that which is accomplished, presuming that they will succumb as they did to the outrages of the conscription act. This spe cies of legislation cannot be submitted to. The vital interests of the Confederacy are not in the hands of safe men and wise senators, when such treason to the civil liberties of the republic is perpetrated; therefore it is a mat ter of serious interest to the people that this question of despotic government especially shall not be agitated in secret sessions, where men dare to perpetrate deeds the preliminary discussion of which they fear before the peo ple. We beseech our authorities at Blchmond not to be too grasping in their demands fur power end dominiun, and we warn our Con gressmen not to be too hasty in thus surren dering the rights and liberties of their con stituents into the hands of the military power. If there be any who really favor such a policy, they certainly have not weighed well the consequences of it; for if such a pol icy shall prove successful, it will not require the ken of a prophet to predict that in the event of McClellan's election, the Chicago ffiatform will very soon muster a very strong, f not predominant party in these Confeder ate States. Much, disaffection has already been produced by the extra-constitutional legislation of Congress and the harsh manner In which its laws have been executed by mil itary officials, and we can assure the Presi dent and his Secretary that they arc but play ing into the hands of Mr. Boyce and his fol lowers by their continued grasping alter des potiepower. The germs of dissension are already 100 painfully visible, and we can but deprecate the adoption of any policy like this this that can but hasten them into full fruition. Under the inhuman and barbarous manner In which Lincoln has waged the war upon us, the people have submitted without a mur mur to much from their own government that would have met with resistance under other circumstances; and they will doubtless continue to.bcar up under whatever burthens may be imposed upon them in the event of the re-election of the Ape; but we almost tremble for the fate that awaits a divided South, if the unwise recommendations of Mr. Scddon shall become a law upon the heels of McCleUan’a success. DAVIS’ WHOLESALE CONSCRIPTION A BLOW AT cxtll LinKirrr. [From the Montgomery Appeal, Not. 9.] There Is no political maxim' fuller of truth and warning than that power la always stealing from tlie many to the few.” More particularly is this the case in times like the present, wuut the country is Involved in war and the people, wrapped up in the idea of achieving their liberty and independence, are apt to sleep upon their rights until thev'are elfeclually undermined or usurped by the gov erning few. If the telegraph has done justice to Presi dent Davis and Secretary Scddon, U is plain that the subject of wholesale conscription is to be revived at the present.session of Con "gresi, by which not only the services and persons of the people of all cltwses, bat the conduct of their trades, professions, pursuits and occupations arc to W placed under the sole and exclusive control of the military power. It is assumed that the system of ex emption by Congress is unwise; that every man in the Conlcderacy capable of military duty should be enrolled, and that the civil pursuits of life should be carried on by de from the army. Our pulpits must be filled by detailed preachers, our schools by detailed teachers, our plantation* br detailed farmers, our workshops by detailed' mechan ics, and our newspapers must be carried on by detailed editors and printers. It will be perceived ,at a glance that ttuch a policy strikes at 0* root of civil l&ertu, and places all power in the hands of the military If any minister of the Gospel should be so In discreet as to embody In‘any of his sermons doctrines distasteful to the powers that be or if any editor should become too outspoken In the exercise of his constitutional rights in Vindication of the freedom of the press, a re vocation of their' details would very soon silence them; or if the editor himself should not he subject to military duty it would be an easy matter to stop hU paper by revokin' 1 the details of his employes. KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACTS OP TUB LEOISLATOB3 DEMANDED BY THF PEOPLE. [From the Charleston Mercujy.] Knowledge is power,” and. the political power derived from a knowledge of public af fairs, as conducted by their agent s in the Cen tral Government, belongs to the people of this Confederation. A constitutional government intended to place, all public servants upon their responsibility for official conduct, yet conducted in constant secret sessions, is a monstrous anomaly and perversion. Protect ed from public scrutiny, subjected to the al lurements of political preferment on the one' hand, and threatened with unerring proscrip, lion on the other—without popular support —independent exertions for the country and often weighed down by the pressure of Execu tive odium—Representatives stand in a posi tion of great weakness and great temptation. Is it to he wondered that many become pass ive and subservient? Korean there bea rem edy where the thing to be remedied is covered. Responsibility cannot be established where the truth Is not known. Opinions cannot be formed in ignorance. Wituout precise facts for data, conclusions cannot be arrived at. Public opinion is kept in an uncertain, shift ing, negative and impotent condition, touch lug the causes of our troubles, their necessity, and the best remedies to Be applied. The people are shorn of their legitimate power of discriminating and in making their judgment felt. The press Is shorn of its proper power, because upon facts supposed to be partial the people cannot make up thslr minus without reservation about measures or about men. Hence we drift along In faith aud in charity, under the auspices of men who have assumed to be wise beyond any authority given them by the intent of the Constitution. It is high time for the people and press of the Confede rate States to lul a voice of earnest condem nation of this newjsystem of smothering pub lic opinion. We invoke the aid of our cotem poraries against a further continuance of daily secret sessions, which even the Yankees do not practice, and which spread weakness in our counsels. NO EXCUSE FOB SECRET SESSIONS. [From the Macon Telegraph.] Last year much dissatisfaction was ex pressed by the people and the press at the “secret sessions”, of Congress. We trust there will be no cause for these complaints at the present session. There is no acute for them, except pending discussions on military affairs, when facts Drought out in* debate might prove beneficial to-the enemy. Tho people have a right to know the position and bearing of their representatives upon ques tions affecting the interests, and, it may bo, the liberties of the country. We fear that some of the servants of the people -have got the idea into their noddles that they are the masters, and would fain play tho part of grand seigniors. Let there he an end to this Insolent presumptioh, else we warn these gentry that the bubble of their greatness will collapse suddenly and disgracefully. Some shallow brain* in the land have lately grown so blatant as to bint that tho curtailing of tho liberty of the -press would be a benefit to the, cause of independence. They affect to despise* the means by which they were brought into notice and elevated to power, and would fain crash out the “fourth estate,” that their littleness and corruption might not be op posed. If such an attempt Is made, as it is whispered there will be, these “illustrious obscure” will attempt to hide their assaults upon the liberty of the press and the people under the cover of secret sessions. Let the press look to it. H the f mrth estate will but 1 assert Its rights and vindlcateitsprorogatives, which are but the rights and prerogatives of the people, it will soon crash the vipers it h«B warmed to life* Let the discussion of i Subtle matters In Congress be had with open 1 oorel No stabs in the dark. No secret see-1 siouff. I Ihe weakened somewhat the cffectof its protest by its attempt {0 screen the President from the responsibility of this unconstitutional recommendation. It was never before suspected nor intimated that the President was not the author of his own mes sages; found its way into them which was not either originated or sanc tioned by .him.- 'Ho, and he alone, is respon siblofor .every recommendation offered to Congress In: pursuance of his constitutional duty. He will not attempt to evade that re sponsibility, nor thank anyone forattempt ing-lo evgd£iifi>rhim. He would scorn the suggestion lhatTie Is or could be a tool in the hands of others' Wc heartDy**ccond the proposition of the CcTutitutionanst for a Convention of the .press, to defend Us freedom andrights against tnls threatenedasaanlt of Executive tyranny. We very much fear that unless active measures be taken to prevent it a subservient Congress, which has heretofore manifested a disposition to register every.edict of the Executive will, may in secret-session strike this deadly blow at the freedom of the press, so Insidiously re commended In the President's message. STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE HOLDING OF SE- CHET SESSIONS. [From the-Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, No vember IC.J 'The Confederate House of Representatives has gone into*, secret session again. What secrets now ore in the wind ?—Jlontgomery MaU We shall, undoubtedly learn by and by, 'when we.find that the people have been de prived of some* constitutional right. Those who commit deeds of darkness always prefer to do them under cover. For Congress to consider in secret session any bill which affects the liberty of the citizen —except it be some bill which relates to army movements or matters—is atrocious. Nay, more, it is infamous. \DAVIS' ATTEMPT TO MUZZLE THE PRESS—A CONVENTION OF THE REBEL EDITORS TO OPPOSE THE USURPATION’ PROPOSED. [From the Angus ta__Chroniclo and Sentinel, Not. 19.] .•*We are glad to see that tbe press of the South is verr generally speaking out against the unconstitutional propositions oftheTrcsi dent to abridge its freedom by subjecting lt‘ .to bis own arbitrary control. Even the press of the Administration are loud In their denun ciation ot the Executive. They are forced to admittbatlt evinces an alarming disposition on the part of the President to usurp despotic power, in niter disregard of the guarontys of the constitution. They are startled and alarmed by the exhibition of executive intol erance ana desire to crash those journals which have had.the independence to criticise his-acta and policy. Much os they have been disposed tp yield the Administration an indis criminate support, they are not prepared to surrender the freedom secured to them by the constitution, and hold their rights to exist at the beck ana nod of the President and his military subordinates. The Columbia Carolinian which has not been a lukewarm supporter of the President of late, gives utterance to an emphatic pro test against this latest attempt at executive usurpation. MDERSONVILLE. Inliiunan Horrors and Brutalities. ELEVEN THOUSAND VICTIMS DEAD. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.] Of tbc condition of the prisoners in the stockade at Andersonville, their mode of ex istence, their privations, their destitution and their hopelessness, at an earlier stage of, this letter 1 bud not designed to write, pre-’ ferring to give the facts in the language of the simple daily memoranda of two of the de ceased prisoners, but there remains now only a few hoars before the departure of the mail, and it will be impossible to hav these diaries fully transcribed. I mast, therefore, content myself with a summary on these points, the facts having been obtained from at least a hundred witnesses. The stockade or pen in which the prisoners at Andersonville are con fined, is an enclosure of fourteen acres, five of, which were a morass. Here the men were” without shelter, and in many instances almost naked, huddled together without room for exercise. During the hot summer months thcrc.werc scattered about in this pea on aver age of at least 500 prisoners, who were suffer* ing from disease In almost every form incident to man in a climate to which he is unaccus tomed. Five acres of tho surface of the ground were covered with human excrement, exhaling a morbific influence which would prove fatal even to the rice plantation labor er, accustomed from infancy to breathing the malarious atmosphere of hlsnative savannahs. Constantly drenched by rains, receiving bad food, always poorly prepared and often raw, In many cases nakea and laboring under a mental depression verging on melancholy, feeling that their days were numbered, the prisoners were kept in their dreadful prison. Under these circumstances the mortality be came frlghtftd, and as a matter of defence from an epidemic, the rebel authorities were compelled to thin out the shambles early in September, by sending several thousand 01 the prisoners to a new stockade established at Savannah, where their sufferings were consid erably alleviated. Subsequently these men on tbc breaking out of the yellow fever at Sa vannah were removed to another prison pen at Milan. Before the change from Anderson viiie had been made'efetvn tKouxand vkiims had been burled, uncottined, in the shallow trenches near the prison. From the ofliclal rccordl transcribe the number of deaths daily, from July 23 to Sept 5, inclusive: July S3 July 3-1... July 56... July 20... July 27... July 23... July 29... July 80... July 81... Aug. 1... Aug. 2... Aug. 3... Anj,-. 4... Aug. 5... Aug. 6... Aug. 7... Aug, 8... Aug. 9..., Ane. 10... Aug. 11..., Ang.12... Aue.lß,„. Aug. 14..., Of the cruelty of Capt,-Wertz, the'rebel of* fleer having charge of the prison at Anderson ville, all the prisoners speak la unmeasured terms. His vindictiveness Is attributed to the fact that during one of tho Union raids in Alabama bis property was destroyed. It was a common thing for Capt. Wertz to place men in the chain-gang lor no greater offense than attempting to escape, and in two instances the unfortunate fellows died while in their fetters. H. J. W. TbeDavenport* Sued ms Swindlers. The English papers contain this account o f legal proceedings against the Davenport bro* ibers: At the Newcastlc-on-Tyne Police Court, on 3fonday morning, Mr. Robert Ward, proprie tor of the North of England Advertiser, applied for a summons against the Brothers Daven port, who have just completed a series of seances in that town, at one of which at least Mr. Ward had been present. He said that the Brothers Davenport, byprofcsslng to give manifestations of supernatural agencies, nad induccu a great number or people to attend their seances, and had thus obtained money to the amount of at least £IOO from the people of Newcastle, and that he himself had been amongst the number of those duped. At these seances, certain manifestations took place which the Brothers Davenport alleged to be supernatural, but which he believed to be nothing better than a swindle, and that, therefore, the moneypaid by those who at tended the seances had been obtained by false pretences. “He quoted a case from a newspaper where an old woman had been brought before the magistrates for obtaining a quantity of house hold furniture by pretended fortune telling, and submitted that the Brothers Davenport were equally liable to similar proceedings, lie also stated that there was an act ol Par liament on the statute books empowering the magistrates to punish all persons who ob tained m;ncy by prolessing to employ super natural agencies. The magistrates* clerk (Mr. Bulman) asked if ho would produce the act. Mr. Ward replied that ho was not pre pared to do so. as he had not expected it would be required of him. He believed these manifestations to be a thorough swindle, and that the parties showing them should be pun ished. The chairman (Mr. Wilson) said-tbat be himself did not believe in those silly exhi bitions, but bo did not think the bench had power to grant a summons In such a case. If people would be so foolish as to pay their money to see such manifestations, it could not be said that they bad been deluded by false pretenses. The application was conse quently refused.” Incendiary Plot in Washington. In addition to the regular guards employed about the public buildings, commissaries, de pot, etc., m this vicinity, the War Depart ment Bifles have been on duty since last even ing, In consequence of information received by the Government of ah incendiary plot, sim ilar to that attempted to be carried out In Now York on Friday evening. The guards at all the public buildings have been doubled, and a strict watch is kept at the hotels and public places, to guard against any attempt that may be made to execute the diabolical plans to accomplish, by sneaking incendiary operations,-what the rebels have failed to do by legitimate warfare. Considerable excite ment was occasioned about 10 o’clock lost night, by the proclamation, at tho places of public amusement of an order from the War Department, requiring all the employes of that department to repair forthwith to their posts. The summons was intended to have them assemble forgnard duty. The Treasury guards are to relieve the war Department Killes, and Incendiaries will have a small chance for successful operations here.— Cor Jf, YBeroia, Louisiana Legislature met on the Slstinst., and among the proceedings of the first day was the introduction of .a resolution to request the Secretary of the Treasury to remove Wm.

This land lies on both tides of a stream known oa Sulphur Spring Him, and gives unmistakable evidences of oil throughout na entire length; It Is surrounded by the unsurpassed Oil Terri tories of Horse Keck. Also, the Rawson's Run Terri tory, upon in quite close proximity, lithe cel ebrated Tack Well, and by the lands of the uall Creek Company, to which It adjoins. A good portion of the land la well fanned, the balance being covered with a heavy growth of tlrnbur; there U also on tb.s farm a very fine mine ot iron ore, which, from actual experi ment, yields CO per cent, of pore iron. A tv heeling Company la now desirous of arranging with us, to lest the extent of the mine, having already tested the quality of the ore, and this. cf itself may prove of great value to the Company, thoazh the Inna was purchased entirely on account of Su great oil value. This hundred acres la owned in fee by the Com pany, and they have already commenced operations thereon. There U also a ver* good house on thla prop ertr.which lilocnd nsefai for the working bands. The tiilnt tract cfland selected la known as the Trip let Homestead Farm, and Is situated on the waters of Calf Creek, and consists of two hundred acres, with larger amount of boring or bottom land than can Da found on any tractor equal extent In W»*t Virginia, and no lanes anywhere afford finer Indications of oil. Ibis land Iks between the waters of Cow Creek and Bui! Creek: on Cow Creek u located the territory of the Berglo OliCompany,alargeandwtalthy27ewYork Company, who are now actively developing their lands, with tho very finest prospects of (access'; their land also extends abqve na to call Creek, upon which they have several engines boring. Below as on Call Creek, and immediately adjoining, la the Molar A Sweeny On Company, m Pittsburg, who. In their first well, struck a fine lubricating oil at a depth of sixty, one (cet. This well Is within a few yards ol the west ern limits ol oar territory; our first well upon this tract U new bored to a d-pth of about seventv feet, and th* work Is prosecuted with vigor; the location was chosen lor It by the practical oil men and geolo gists who assisted in selecting the lands, «md there la scarcely a doubt ol a very large yielding well being found hers. A good road runs entirely thronah this farm, and a large part of the boring territory U within three quar ters of a mile of the Ohio Elver. The average coat of transporting the oil to the river from any part of this farm,will notexcced-twenty five cent* per barrel. That this h a great advantage, will berea'fllvnorcelv ed, when from oil territory not moretlitt three miles n costa one d9llar and a-half per barrel to baoTiVtoliii fitef.

The Knabe Plano In the Now Opera House. We take pleasure in referring our readers to the special claims of this most excellent Instrument, which has, In such Incredibly brief period, headed the list of its competitors, i cw Ul W lk S?™, lli i. ho Southern and Eastern Stales belorc the rebellion. It is scarcely a year tlnce Its advent la the Northwest Yet we now find it in almost evcir household, and its praise the universal theme in all musical circles I Such indeed has been the rapid progress of its sales that Messrs Julius Bauer Co~ the general i agents for the Northwest find their already caoa i clous ware rooms, at 99 Clark and 80 Washington i streets, entirely inadequate for their bualncssTand have therefore engaged one of the commodious and elegant marble front stores In the new Opera J House on Washington street, which is to be com -1 pleted by tbe first of March next and fitted up In magnlfident style with a special dew to the in terests of the Enabc piano, The interior win bo handsomely frescoed and decorated in tbe highest style of art, and a superb I suite of apartments fitted upon the second door for offices and conversation rooms. The well known character of Mr Bsnerwlllfallyjustifyour assertion that, when completed, these rooms will be second to none in the Union, while their prox imity to the opera rooms will constitute them the (irand rendeztous for all the destlngulshed musi cal talent of the country, We might also mention Ihe fact as an indsx to the just popularity of this piano, that Messrs. Bauer Co., hare recently opened one of the finest and largest wareroom* in ew V.ojk’ at 544 Broadway, tinder the personal supervision of John B. Bauer, Esq., formerly of our city, in ordermore directly to snpply tbe deni zens of Gotham, who are determined not to be be hind the great West in their proper appreciation of ihe good qualities of the Knabe. In conclusion, we need only remind our readers that these pianos hare received the first premiums at three ofour State Fairs’ held this year, viz Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, and would sug gest that a visit to the warcrooms of Messrs, Bauer Co., and a trial of their magnificent grand and square pianos would fully justify ‘the award of the above premiums.

The utmost confidence is felt here in the ability of General Thomas, and the strength •and efficiency of Ins noble army. Should Hood risk a battle, he will “go up.” The whole number in the refugee camp at Chattanooga is 4,299. Of this number f 074 are negroes, and 2,025 are whiles. The au thorities are sending the white refugees North as fast as possible, but no negroes. Twenty-five negro men, each with families ivcrc sent to the camp over the river, where they arc to be employed in chopping wood for the government. Maurice Scanlan, formerly a private in the 3d.t\ isconsm Battery, was found dead, hav ing evidently been murdered, near the Chat tanooga depot, in Nashville, on Sunday nl-ht He had probably been murdered for his mon ey, as he was known to have had SI,OOO in a belt around him, but when found he had no valuables on bfa person. Governor Brough, of Ohio, has written a letter to Colonel Royal Taylor, the Ohio at Chattanooga, informing him that the Adjutant General or the Stale has just completed the purchase of a large amount of supplies— among other articles. 1,000 bush els of onions and 1,000 bushels of dried fruit— most ofwhidb will be sent for distribution to the Ohio soldiers in that vicinity. Large quantities of pumpkins arrive by river daily. Some of them are brought by priTOte parties, but large numbers of them are intended for the hospitals at this post. By order of the Secretary of War,Ohatta nooga has been created a military post, and entitled to a Post Chaplain, who also acts as schoolmaster, in accordance with the revised regulations and the act of Congress of July litL 18G2. The Council of Admioistra tlon of the post have appointed Chaplain Van Horne to fill the office, and have sent a noti of the appointment to the Secretary TJe intense severity of the recent cold snap is shown by the fact that four children of a refugee family were frozen to death, on Tues day night at the Chat tanooga depot, in Nash- S l e l on th Protons a man named Patrick Cavanah, formerly of the 93th New York Infantry, was frozen to death in Edge -lleld, opposite Nashville. or two since a foraging party, consist ing of two hundred men and a large train of wagons, went oat from Calhoun, Ga., in the direction of a small village called Fairmount. and when near the latter place, on their re turn, were attacked by a party of rebels, un dertwo leaders named Tail and Fields. In “S® whfch ensued, the rebels were d :iven off, with a loss of three killed and left on the field, our men losing none. money-order business at Chattanooga and this city is proving a great success. Sol diers and employees of the Government find it very useful for remitting money home to their families. Citizens also find it very con venient for remitting small sums North. We would call the attention of soldiers and em ployees of the Government to this safe mode of making remittances to their families. All they have to do la to call at the post office and procure their money orders, and there is no possible chance for loss. Out of about 350 money orders issued at the Nashville Post Office, more than half of them are payable to women—wives of the parties sending the TIIE COASi: blockade.
