Address “CHICAGO TRIBUNE" Ciilca o, 111 Cljtcaga Qlrtbnnt TUESDAY, DECEMBER C. 1564. THE NEWS, Setting aside as unconfirmed two conflict ing rumors in our dispatches elsewhere, one to the effect that Sherman has already reached the coast, and the other, less reliable, of a crowning disaster to his_ army, the most straight-forward news from Sherman’s pro gress must be conceded to be that received through Union chancels at Fortress Monroe, l*y steamer from the Savannah river, on Thursday, Dec. Ist, when, it is stated, Shcr-. man’s advance was in the very suburbs of that city, and the crisis near. Still this is the for warding a shore rumor, whlchindecd might liare been the cause of immense excite ment in Savannah on that day and yet have been only a rumor. The reader can have very little help of ours in learning from our dispatches where ♦Sherman is. He is evidently about to emerge sifto the light, and we shall know all that un til then must be a mystery. We can readily “believe the point on the coast which he will strike was undecided, and left to ho'con* trolled by contingencies. may l»e and their issue, cannot now long be post -3«-ued, cud the susi>cnse is such as has at •j ached to few undeveloped events of the war thus far. Our advices from Nashville at 7 o'clock last evening, when the situation was reported un changed. The enemy have drawn their Jincs nearer and extended them, and are Intrench* sng themselves. The state of allairs in Ten nessee is' due that will call for sharp digfating and the exercise of all the high military qualities the country has i-ptiHin -to believe belong to Gen. Thomas. Since the battle of Franklin there has been 3io fighting, but vigorous preparations on Loih sides fur another conflict on whose re- J'V.lt will hang the fate of Hood's campaign. Our Cairo dispatch gives a largo and varied budget oj news from points below. A dispatch elsewhere says Hood has orders lo go to Nashville or to hell. Uc is doubtless \]Kcted at both places, and will find the least bar tiers to his progress in taking the two plae. s named in reversed order. Gencr.il Dis is following up the Southerners an New York with a rough hand. They get little sympathy at Richmond, it will be seen, ji.un paragraphs in our dispatches elsewhere. Nor indeed should they. A man or woman who defends the rebellion should live under 5t and shard its burdens, and to eneak away ante loyal communities and under ttidr she!- let revile loyalty is a meanness even the reb els despise. And yet it is chivalry. RON. JUONTGOMEEIY BLAIS. It is reported that the President intends to appoint the Hon. Montgomery Blair Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. We cannot believe that Mr, Lincoln will so directly ran counter to the views and wishes of the party which nominated and* elected him. What ever variance of opinion may exist as to tbe proper man for that exalted post, there is no difference regarding the man who ought not lo have it. Mr. Blair was the especial mark of the resolution of the Baltimore Conven tion which declares thaVThe Cabinet shonld 1m a unit in supporting the principles laid down in the platform there adopted. It was certainly not the intention of the party, in inviting Mr. Blair to leave the Cabinet, where he could remain but a few years at "best, to tender him the position bf Chief Jus-* lice for life! The President accorded him snore consideration than was necessary In al. Sowing him to name his successor. Tbe Supreme Court Is the tribunal of last resort, where all the great questions involved 5u the war and the reconstruction of the Gov ernment are to be settled. Wc want no man nt the head of that Court whose measure Is found in the Rockville speech. There was a story current In Washington once that when the President read bis emancipation procla* jimlion of Sept. 22,15G2, to his Cabinet (re. marking at the same time that be did not read it for the purpose of eliciting discussion because his mind was made up), Mr. Blair was the only member who had the bad grace lo raise an oigmncnt against it. The story was generally credited at the time, and it is certainly not devoid of probability. Be that as it may, we say frankly that the President could not find a man In public life more dis tasteful to his political friends, for the ap pointment of Chief Justice, than Montgom ery Blair. CONGRESS. Both houses of Congress assembled jester clay, a quorum being present, and the bus!* or the session, as will be seen elsewhere, liaviug already been entered npon. The Pres ident's Message will be delivered to-day, and will be given in our next issue. The present Congress has accumulated among the people 3io very large stock of gratitude for shining public eeiriccs. It is never too late to mend, and the few months that yet remain to the Thirty-eighth Congress is an opportunity offered for the bettering of Its records in divert important particulars, which loyal constituents will not fail to appreciate. Though not the offspring and choice of the recently expressed popular will, at the State elections, it wiH be entirely in order and not unwise for tbe present Congress to avaH" themtclvcs of the tuition therein .furnished, and, as nearly os possible, to meet the popu lardcsire. in advance even of the accession of the representatives elect. If it is now well understood that a consis tent course of policy is looked for in the Thirty-Ninth Congress, in consecutive and persist* nl action which'shall tell against the waning rebellion, and tbe extinction of its originating, cause there will be no infrlngment 3o com) daiu of, in any action of the session now begun, looking to the same end. The peo ple have voted for a vigorous war. They had been diligently plied for months by an inge jiious and untiring opposition, with all the discouragements to be dniwn from harsh war measures, restrictions of personal liberty, de predation of currency, und oneroustaxes. They have met and answered all these, with si splendid pibof of loyalty that forever de monstrates the stability of our form of Gov ernment. Not only do the people approve and sustain all the past acts of the Government in tbe direction of a rigorous conduct of. the war, but they demand fresh zeal on Its part, and pledge themselves to greater and all needed Mcrificcs, They ask of this Congress to sec ond will) all the )K>ssible aids of legislation c very measure that will weaken the rebellion. It is no time for buncombe. The disorders that Congress is subject to, Grab and Gab, should be exorcised in tbe presence of this popular loyr.l sentiment, -to which the first is an outrage os cruel os the last is bitterly in sulting. Go to work for tbe nation, gentle men. Tbe age expects it of you. The peo ple have prepared to secure it from those who come after you, but this is no bar to your own similar action. FBOM ST. LOUIS. A Disturbance Between Soldiers and Citizens—Political—Unorilla Ult> [Special Bispatfhlto the Chicago Tribune.] St. Louis, Monday, Dec. 5. A desperate fight between citizens and sol diers occurred at Rock Sprang last night, in •which bowle knives, bayonets and pistols were fn-cly used. A number were stabbed and otherwise injured, and we are told one or more fatally. The soldiers engaged In the _affuir belonged to Company A, 54th Illinois. .Seven of them were arrested and are now un dergoing an examination before Provost Mar .filial Hill.

[Special Dispatch to the Western Presss.] Washington, Monday, Dec. 5. THE PRESIDENT’S MEftiA.CE. The President's message is not yet closed up, and*U is not known that he has read it consecutively to any one. He has however read to a few congressmen detached frag ments, and from their statements some fea tures of the message are elicited. The Presi dent says that as to his war policy he has been shut up, as the course he must pursue, by the elections. These hare overwhelming ly instructed him to seek for peace onlv by forcing rebels and traitors back into submis sion to the lawful authorities. Accordingly there most he no relaxation In the vigorous prosecution of the war. In the mean time he will be glad to receive proposals for peace on the basis ofa return to their allegiance, and the aban donment of slaveiy from a State or part of a State; but he proposes to hhnself no degrad ations with the organization of traitors at Richmond. He felicitates himself and the na tion that, .in spite of secession, more votes were cast at this Presidential election than at the last, extending though it did over the States now in rebellion; and he draws from this the moral, that for the purpose of carry ing on tbe war the resources of the North are as great as ever. To give stability to tbe finances he urges a heavy and discriminatin'*’ taxation. The paragraphs arc still unfinished relative to the present movement of Sherman's army and the general military situation. The President's Message is the shortest ho has yet-written. It only makes about twelve pages octavo in the large Congressional docu ments. T. THE REBEL PAIR. Government has declined to permit the reb el sympathizer's in Llveriwol to remit the proceeds of tbe Fair held there, amounting to seventeen thousand pounds sterling to the rebel prisoners at the North. THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP. Tbe lowa delegation waited on President Lincoln in a bodv urging the appoint ment of Mr. Chase as Chief Jus tice. Other State delegations will do tbe same, Massachusetts probably leading. For the last three weeks Mr. Chase has been stay »!ng away from his family every member of which is at his residence here, solely to avoid tbe possibility of being supposed to be in any way seeking to affect the question of the Chief.Justiceship by his personal influence. Now that the decision must be made within a day or two at -farthest, he is coming on. He is expected by Saturday at farthest. There is no doubt that the question will be settled before his arrivaL THE BRITISH LEGATION. Lord Lyons is going home, but the rumors about his going on account of diplomatic troubles, arc wholly unfounded. He goes on account of continued ill-health interfering al most completely with the discharge of his duties. He leaves to-morrow. Congress will call for the correspondence of Lora Lyons, who does not expect lo return. The First Secretary of the Legation has recently ar rived, and will be in charge. He is consider ed friendly to the North. Lord Lyons' per sonal effects will be sold at auction. THE SCTREME COURT. Judge Davis, of Illinois, is 1 detained from taking his plkce on the 'Supreme bench by painful but not serious Illness. Judges Nel son and Catron were also both absent, so that there was no quorum. The court ad journed over till to-morrow. The Chief Jus ticeship remains unsettled, and a nomination is not now looked for until after the message shall have gone into Congress, and the court shall have organized. Leading gentlemen from Illinois unite in saying that tbere is no Jrobabnity whatever of the appointment of ndge Davis. With this impression the ef forts of Judge Swain’s friends in his behalf are redoubk-u. Meantime, the pressure from Congress' and from the country is almost without exception for Mr. Chase. THE OPENING OF CONGRESS. The galleries of both Senate and Ilonso wcre-crowdcd, and largenumbors of outsiders thronged the floor. The usual scene of hand shaking, and congratulations, and interchange of inquiries about majorities, and felicitating over the result, or condolence with the de feated,'occupied the hour before meeting. Both Houses were comparatively thin, hut still had considerably over a quorum. TheSenatedidnothlngofanymoment. The jtroceedings of the House, however, developed two features of interest. When the members frsm the new fledged State of Louisiana pre sented their credentials an effort was made to give them the right to speak on the merits of their case. “Their case has no merits,” growled Thad. Stevens, and the House seemed inclined to the same view, for departing from the usual custom, It only gave them the privilege of the floor. The'lrrepressible whisky question forced itself In before the Message. The last is de layed till to-morrow, but Mr. Washburne took time by the forelock and got his old re solution for a lax on stock on hand sent to the Ways and Means Committee by a vote of 93 to 51. There Is not, however, the slightest probability that the action of Congress, in this matter, will be reversed. No proposition to tax stocks on band can be got through the Senate, and even the action of the Hourc on It is doubtfoL Cox, in view of the debt of gratitude he owes the people for their late treatment of him, wanted to cheapen their coffee and sugar for them by a resolution. In order to secure the cheapening, he wanted the duties removed or made payable in greenbacks. His resolution was sent to the waste basket of tbe "Ways and Means Committee, and the House rested from its labors. GEN. HANCOCK'S COUPS. Gen. Hancock issues the following explan ation of the way to get office in tbe Ist corps of tbe army: All persons desiring commis sions in the Ist corps to be organized under the recent order of the War Department, must make application In writing to the Ad jutant General of the army, at Washington. settingYorth their present address, date and rank of their original entry into service, the regimental organizations in which they nave cervcd, date and causes of their discharge, their rank at tbe lime they were mustered cut of service, and if they think propper ad ding military recommendations from their former commanders. Applicants must have been two years In service, and have been honorably discharged, and be physically qualified. Their military record will be ex amined hi the Adjutant General’s Office, whence it wDI be referred to Mai. Gen. Han cock for the purpose of ascertaining their fit ness for the position to which they desire to he appointed. After passing examination, officers will receive their appointment, and they may then be required to proceed at once to raise veterans under the'ordcr. When a sufficient number has been received and mus tered in, the officer will also be mustered in, to rank from the date of his original appoint ment. Gen. Hancock issuesa condensed statement* of the wav in which men can get into the Ist Corps of the army; Men are enlisted and mastered only in tills city. iSertmd~Vetcranß, served two years and honorably discharged, may enlist for one, two or three years. Third —Those enlisting will receive the-Gov ernment bounty of S3OO, and Inaddition $lO3 for one, S2OO for two, and $390 for three years. .FcmrtA—They will be credited to the dis trict where they reside, and be entitled to lo cal bounties. Fifth—T rce transportation will be famished to Washington by any Provost Marshal. Sixth —The best aims in the possession of the Government will be furnished these troops. TONSON COME AGAIN. The greatest bore in existence, Wm. C. Jewett, came at Congressmen tot-day with a printed circular laid on every‘desk. He would still like us to quit fighting and have European powers settle our troubles for us. Mr. Speed accepts the' Attorney General ship. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad doable track is at last completed. SIIEttJIAA’S MOVEMENT. Rebel Reports—Onr Cavalry—Sherman will Reach the Coast In Safety—The UeKolallon Created through Georgia by Our Army—Farms Stripped, Ne groes Taken Away, Etc., Etc, [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Washington, Monday, Dec. S,ISW. The latest reliable netfe from Sherman for tunately comes through loyal sources. An officer who left the harbor of Savannah on the Ist inst., with 700 of our paroled prison era, nnlvcd bero tLie evening. Ho eaya that at tile time he left the people of Savannah were in a state of the greatest excitement and consternation over the approach of Sher man’s army. His advance guard was said to be only or four five miles from the city limits It was known'' that the fortifications on the west side of the city were insignificant, and the capture of the city seemed to be beyond all question an easy task. There were no means of ascertaining the strength of the rebel garrison, but it was believed tt be quite small. There seems therefore, to be good reason to hope that by this time Savannah has (alien or is besieged. Richmond papers.of the 3d have been re* ccivcd. They contain a dispatch from Gen. Bragg, dated Augusta, Go.,' 2d Instant, in which lie claims to have badly repulsed Gen. Foster a second time, the fight having been at Coosabatchie, 10 miles from Focataligo. Gen. poster, it will be remembered, went up Broad*river from Hilton Head, to operate cn tbc Charleston and Savannah railroad. Bragg also alleges that at that date, Friday night, Dec. 2d, Sherman hed not taken Mil ieu, Ga., nor attempted It. a The Richmond Examiner of Saturday pro-'' fcsscstohavc information causing it to be believed tbatShcrraan will not reach,the sea coast with half his army. The Examintr, however, gives no data for its belief. The Richmond papers of Saturday claim that Sherman's army is not yet all across the Oconee, and lnsist that he is far enough from Savannah, while that place has a eufiicient garrison. Washington, Monday, Dec. s.—News from Savannah, received here to-day from South ern sources* leaves no room for -doubt that Sherman has succeeded in reaching the coast with hie entire army. The Baltimore American has Richmond pa. pers of Saturday, the 3d, but they do not ap pcar to have as late Georgia news as that received by steamer from Savannah, except the following, from -Gen. Bragg, which refers to an engagement. Richmond papers say the Yankees who landed at Fort Royal and moved into the in- tenor, with the expectation of meeting Sher man's advance, encountered a body of Con federate troops at Aplachoalo and Grahams ville. The enemy were badly beaten and driven from the field, leaving their dead on the ground.' -The telegraph conveying this information does not stale the direction in which the vneraywere driven, but we pre sume they were driven hack towards Bean fort. Latzb. —The following dispatch has been received. It is dated yesterday, Savannah: I have just returned from the front. Tbe enemy was badly whipped, and had retired to the Coosawatchie. Another point on the railroad is threatened, but I don't apprehend any eerlSn* attack. (Signed) B. Shago. Grahamsrille, where we arc reported as having been repulsed by the rebels, is one of tbe stations on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. It Is SI miles northeast of Savan nah and 70 miles from Charleston. Our forces, however, are .evidently still above Grahamsrille, holding a position on'the Coosawatchie. It will be remembered that the news already published from Hilton Head says that Foster had captured Poeotaligo bridge, which is farther inland than Gra hamsvillc, being 49 miles from Savannah and 55 from Charleston. New York, Monday, Dec. s.—The Rich mond DUtatch of Dec. 2d says: A cavalry light. In which we were victorious, took place in East Georgia on Tuesday. The Yankee cavalry, under Kilpatrick, were attempting to cross the Savannah River, when they were attacked by 'Wheeler, and after an obstinate fight driven back in the direction of Millen* losing very heavilv.

By the arrival of tha- steamer Mem phaln, Captain Larry names, Clerks C. C. Jor dan and J. H. Blood, wc have Memphis dates to the 3d, in the afternoon. The Mcnephan brought up 50 bales cotton. The Memphis Democrat states that General N. B. BuJbrd has ordered all lines around Helena closed to everybody.

Cljicaga tribune. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 18W. WHAT IS WANTED. The great problem of the war lies In front of Richmond. The army commanded by Gen. Lee is now, as it has been near three years, the great bulwark of the rebellion. It has to be crushed! So long as It presents a front of defiance to ns the rebellion lives. When it shall be destroyed or dispersed there will not be life enough remaining in the Gov ernment of Jeff. Davis to perplex us long. The alpha and the omega of the Southern Confederacy lies behind that line of entrench ments which stands between Gen. Grant and the rebel capital. Much has been done to ward the task of demolishing that army. Last spring it was a victorious army. It was an audacious army. It had twice invaded the loyal States. _ It had tron many conspicuous triumphs. Although bloodily repulsed at Antietam and Gettys burg, It had not been pursued. Its fame was world-wide, and its prestige had been scarcely marred. Gen. Grant has taken the conceit out of it. He has advanced upon it and pushed it backward to a point within sight of the spires of Richmond. He has fomrht it wherever he could get a fight out of it, and he now holds it be sieged. Ho has established himself on its principal line of communication with the cot ton States, and he only wants an augmenta tion of his force to cut the remaining lines, and either disperse or starve it to a surrender. The recent draft for five hundred thousand men has been frittered away in its results, jwrtly by defects in the law, but chiefly by the re-adjustment of quotas. Instead of a draft, it was a settlement of balances. Sev eral Stales bad furnished an excess of troops, and they raised but few men under the call. Other Slates, which were in arrears, suddenly presented a vast claim Tor saQore furnished prior to the passage of the first enrollment act, and that claim was allowed by Congress »s the price of securing the repeal of the commutation danse. All the States—those •in as well as those in ar rears—went to work whittling down their respective quotas 60011 06 ihcy were made known, and they succeeded remarkably. Wherever a mistake had been made accruing to the advantage of the gene, wl Government, it was found ontand cor rected. The errors accruing to the advantage of the States themselves were not discovered. The law under which the draft was made, when it was finally made, was fatally .defect ive In providing no meansto prevent desertion between the time of the draft and the time the Government actually takes possession of the soldier. These drawbacks, taken togeth er, reduced the number of men realized to the a: my under the call, to less than 200,000, all of whom go out of the service next fall. Measures must be takcu at-once to add a hundred thousand men to Gen. Grant’s armjk If hcjbad them now he could take Richmond any day in the week by posting them across the Danville Railroad and coming up on the re ar of Lee’s army. But'a new draft Is not ruflicicnt. VTe must .have a system of con tinuoUevccruiting whidh shall meet the con tluvons drain upon our armies. If each coun ty in the loyal States should famish one man per day, the net result would be one thousand per day, and that is not an excessive task. The home vote cast on the Bih of November last was greater in the aggregate than that cast four vears ago, in the Northern Slates, show ing that the male population above the age of twenty-one years has steadily increased, not withstanding the demands of the war. The term of service of the troops who volunteered in the fall of ISG2/and who cgjplitutc the bulk of our armies to day, expires next fall, and -unless the campaign of next summer shall be of the most decisive character, the places of these men must be filled. The people have’ voted for the^rosccution of the war to the full attainment of the ob jects for which it was begun. They voted with the knowledge that the prosecution of the war involves the raising of troops to carry it on. They voted for whatever things might be‘necessary to carry it on, and they Remand tbftt the Government shall come down to Us work, relying firmly upon their patriotism and their endurance. We want more troops, and wc want a steady supply in place of the annual spasmodic effort, to keep our armies up to the proper standard. aHUXABV STATISTICS OF TUB UNITED STATES. Wchavc received a copy of The Military Statistics of the United States of America,” being a report made to the Statistical Con gress at Berlin, by E. B. Elliott, AAnary to the United States Sanitary Commission and a delegate to tub fougiMo. xl is printed at Berlin and dedicated to our Minister in Prus sia, Hon. Dorman B. Judd. The volume con tains many Interesting military statistics up to the close of the year 1803, especially those which relate to the mortality, sickness and other casualties, and to certain physiological characteristics of the soldiers In our armies, from which wc summarize the following in tercstingfuctfc: The general rate of mortality experienced by the volunteer regiments of the army for fifteen months ending in the foil of ISC3, was about 72 per annum to 1,000 average nmneri cal strength 20 from killed In action ordy ing of wounds {received therein, and 52 frem disease and accident. From comparison of the results of the nine earlier months of the war with thosa *°r the subsequent six mouths, the rates of mortality increased both from disease and violence with officers and men, In the Eastern"as well as in the Western regiments. The rate of increase from violence, however, was much greater than from disease. During this time the Wes tern rates from wounds for officers and men together, were respectively nearly five times audxmc and a half times the Eastern rates and from disease nearly three times and twice •those rates. This excess is attributed to over exertion, as tbe result of long-continued and forced marches, and of frequent battles, and to inadequate supplies, in the neglect of hy gienic laws, and the malarious character of much of the country through which the Western armies traversed. The annual death rate, both in Europe and America, of civilians at tbe military age is t) or 10 per thousand. The annual death rate of the United States military forces in time .of peace Ims been 26 per thousand. The rate of the British army in time of peace has been about 17 per thousand. Daring the war with Mexico the overage rale was 118 per thou sand. Daring active operations on the Span ish Peninsula the rate was ICS per thousand; and !n the campaign of the Allies ugainst Russia the rate experienced in hospitals alone by the British forces was about 232 per thou aand. It appears, then, that tbe mortality of our armies during tbe present war, up to the winter of ’C3, was much greater than that _of civilians at home; greater th«m -with armies generally In time of peace, but very considerably less than that of cer tain other armies in lime of peace. The average strength of regizneste was for the first nine mouths 872, including officers and men, and for tbe lost of six months 764- The average strength -of the Eastern regi ments was 804 and 812, and of the Western 892 and 758. In the former period*! in 15 of tbe regimen tal force were returned as absent from their regiments, in the latter period lin C. Of the Eastern troops in the former period 1 in 16 and in "the latter.! in 0, and of Western troops 1 In 10 and 1 in 5 for these periods, respective ly were returned as absent. The cares of constant sickness like those of mortality were greater with the Western than with the Eastern forces, being in tbe two pe riods 55 and Co per cent greater, It is also de duced that in both periods and In. both sec tions of the army the rates have been greater with the men than with tbe officers. Out of 51,271 volunteers examined, one eighth were under the age of nineteen, one fifth under twenty, more than one-half under twenty-four, and a larger per cent under thirty. From these data thcwriterconcludes that a volunteer army must be recruited chiefly from the.yoong. In tfie British re cruiting service the preponderance of the young is much greater than the above, more £ years. The average height 0f25,878 recruits for our army was 5 feet 8 1-5 inches. The height of 'Toltmtcer soldiers in the Army of the Poto* mac was 5 feci 7 inches; the average height of recruits for the regular service 5 feet 8 inches. The average height of recruits for the British service is S feet 6 inches; of French soldiers 5 feci 5 inches. The observations concur In showing that at the time of enroll ment the conscripts lor the French army were younger and of less height than the recruits to the British, and the latter la turn of less age and height than _thc recruits to our army. The average circumference of the chests of soldiers in the army of the Potomac was 85 Inches, that of French soldiers is 85.4 indies of Scotch 89.8 inches. The average weight of the soldleraof the Army of the Potomac was 147>£ pounds tliftt of the French soldiers U 1421-5 pounds of British soldiers 181 pounds. Seven-tenths of the recruits from Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island were bom in the United States, and seven eighths of those from Indiana, lowa, Mich igan and kinncfloU; of the Eastern recruits two-thirds were natives of the States in which they were calls Id; of the Western one tenth only. Of the Eastern class, including both foreign bora and native, 17}{ per cent were natives of Ireland, 5 of England and Scotland, 4 of the British Dependencies, 8# from Germany. Of the Western class nearly 3 per cent were from Ireland, 4 from Eng land, Scotland and the British Dependencies, 4 from Germany. Ths British element appears to have been much greater with the Eastern than with the Western class; the German element on the contrary greater with the Western. Thi. highly Interesting report cone tides thus; “The smaller rates of mortality obftrvable» as compared with those oftheotherprotract cd wars cited, arc believed to be due in no gynnli degree to the organization, almost be fore the army bad assembled,'of systematic methods of Inquiry, as to the condition and necessities of the soldier; of advice os to the best means of preventing the recurrence of evils, which—discerned by the light of the published experience of other armies in active service—were believed seriously to threaten the efiiciencj of the new and Inex perienced forces; and of timely and mate rial relief to the sick and wounded soldiers, sustained by the voluntary and most liberal contributions in money and in kind, from the people of every part of the loyal States. “Thanks to the searching investigations and efficient labors of the Herberts and the Nightingales,, representatives of the practi cal philanthropy of Europe,new experiences of mortality from, disease and -of suffering were not Reeded to show the general char acter of the dangers which would beset the soldier but the impending evils could, to an mportant extent, be anticipated, and, not unfrequcntly even before their presence was clearly manifest, proper means of prevention and remedy be applied. “By the Institution—which cannot be too earnestly recommended—of still more exact and searching inquiries into the relative hy gcnlc condition of the several army corps and their subdivisions, and by the frequent, regular and prompt publication of the re sults, the rates of sickness, invaliding, and mortality from disease, indicated by the foregoing data, would be sensibly reduced 5 the efficiency in point of numbers, vigor and morale of the forces In the field augmented; and the rate at which recruiting, should progress, to supply continuous losses not only from deaths and invaliding, but from desertion, proportionately diminished.” HOOD AT FRANKLIN. Of course it is impossible to predict that a General who. fights often and recklessly, though always without a respectable plan, may not accidentally whip somebody. On this basis it may be predicated that a victory to Gen. Hood is at some time or other within the range of possibility. If there is a single General in the Confederate service, however, who deserves a vote of thanks at the hands of the Federal Government, it is this same Hood. He has stopped more of our bullets with his men, and given -freer course to our armies, than any other rebel commander. vn* strategy seems to consist in abandon ing the country he was appointed to defend, and In leading a small of Its defens ive works to hurl it against the iutrcncU mentsof alargcr one. His various fighting efforts, thus lar, have cost the rebels a great waste of men, with no compensative results. He is now within four miles of Nashville; bnt the army which utterly failed, with a loss of to one in a dozen fiery assaults on Scho field’s command, unintrenched, at Franklin, will hajdly do better, ifit hazard the attempt, with Thomas’ entire force, within the forti fied works at Nashville. Hangman Foote on tlie Monroe Hoe- trine* In the Confederate Congress on Monday* Mr. Foote, of Tennessee, offered a joint reso lution that the people and government of the Confederate States have as deep an interest in the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine as the people and government of the United States can have, and that their rights to assert and maintain it is unquestionable; but that whereas In the event of their early recognition. by the United States, they would recognize it as their true policy to unite with the United States in support of that doctrine, yet, if that recognition should be much, longer delayed, considerations of interest might cause them to lay aside those principles in exchange for material advantages to themselves. Mr. Foote spoke one hour on this. The Sentinel says: “The speech sounded hke singing psalms to a dead horse.” Tire National wtelilgencer, A Miss Carroll,» political lady of some no toriety, and a f.-cnchant and rather mascu line wrltcr,ls figuring toget hold of thcJfctioft al htieUiginctTy which, in defiance of all known laws, continues to live, without learning, when it ought to have been dead inng ago.

The Vandalia Union is ventilating the man ner in which voting was conducted in Fayette county at the recent election. It says: Some of these’ frauds arc coming to light, a few of which'wc will enumerate. In one township sev eral voted who had only been in the precinct three days; but the judges, who were worthies in tbe Democratic camp, decided it was all nght—that men had a right to vote any pl*e In tbe United States for President, irrespective of residence. In this same township the polls were kept open until twelve o'clock at night, and several voted whom the oldest residents in the township bad* never seen oy heard of before. In another town ship a ticket was put In the ballot box for a man whose name also appears on the poll-book, that was so sick as to be unable to leave his house, and who had not been near an election daring the day. The judges on being questioned, replied that he sent bis ticket with another man, whose name we will not give. In another township five men appeared and vot ed who were strangers to the Union men at the polls but one, and be is and was known to be a res ident of another township, and also voted in the township in which he resides. In this same precinct a boy voted who was bnt nineteen years of age. A Union man who was looking on and seeing these proceedings, bnt faadnot said a word, was addressed by a Copperhead Iq the following style: “By G—d, inhere la any fhss mode about this election, or if you Abolitionists say anything we will attend to you.' 1 In an other article the same paper says In one of the townships In this county, where men have been forced to leave because of oppres sion of Cllngman and his followers, and where the Judges of election were of coarse the most strict of tne Democratic sect, voting was carried on with a system, of which the partymils rejoicing over corruption and treason should be proud. Voting was carried on all forenoon with a board composed of the aforesaid Judges, one Copper beau and one Unlonman for clerks. More of the officers of the board had been sworn, and at noon they reorganized the board,, by taming ont the -Union man; and placing a Copperhead in his stead. Voting was conducted all tbe afternoon with the board reorganized, bnt the votes polled in the morning remained In the box and were regularly counted and returned os if the election had been legal throughout. There will be a day of reckoning after a while. If the Democracy of Fayette have concluded they cun practice every form of illegality, usurp power and carry ont the Sterling Price and Clingman TEOflc ol carrying elections, tbey will find them* selves mistaken. _ The Acir Era, published at Carbondale, the home of Gen. John A. Logan, referring to tbe election in Jackson and Williamson counties, In Mnrphrysboro precinct, In this county, we understood that thenotoriousDr.lsrcal Blanchard Esq-, had complete control of the ballot-box. .lie bud about SI,OOO bet on the election. One of the other Judges could neither read writing nor print There was one man appointed Judge who was suspected of being on honest man, and being a little late another was appointed in his place, and the polls opened at 7 o'clock Instead of 8 o'clock as required by law. At night when the voting was done. Dr. Blanchard carried the ballot box home with him and kept it all night before count ing the votes. The Union vote was the same as last fall, notwithstanding nearly two companies of soldiers had gone into the precinct who almost unanimously voted the Union ticket, while the Copperheads had no accessions to their ranks (un less it might be from Missouri) and yet last tell Mnrphrysboro gave JO Union majority, and this fall the Copperheads claim 98 majority 1 Can fraud l>c more palpable! Wc have stated the case just as it is presented to ns by good authority. In anoth er precinct In this coanty tbe ballot box was open ed and the votes counted three times daring the day, and tltal product gave 67 Copperhead majori ty, when it was asserted before the elcction'that there were not more than half a doacmCoppcrhcads .in the precinct I The result of all this is. the loyal people of the county are disfranchised, and we arc beat by about 4uo majority. In Williamson county—Josh Allen's own county—the Copper heads voted about 200 refuges who b*d no rf-ht to vote. In Marion, Josh Allen's home, they vot ed boys notyet in there “teens," and at least one “nigger.” Wc knew which the “nigger equality and miscegcn" parly is*-it is Josh Allen's party. Williamson, of coarse, gave a Copperhead major! ly, bnt Allen ran behind his ticket I Rich Mns ix Boston.—The Boston Trav eler publishes a list of one hundred and three persons In that city whoso annual incomes are above $25,000, as returned under the spe cial income tax. The tax payers in the Fourth District are assessed upon incomes of more than SIOO,OOO each, after the deductions allowed by law were made. One gentleman, Mr. Nathaniel Thayer, has the comfortable income of $305,150. There are about thirty persons in the same district who are taxed on incomes of $50,000 and under SIOO,OOO. py They have corrugated iron houses in New York. The material nsedfo a thin plate corrugated by the rapid action of a machine, and two of these separated by inter vening joints and filled in solid with cement or concrete, form a single wall of any desired thickness.

In a former issue your correspondent called attention to the policy of the Department Commander of Arkansas. The results indi cated its character as not only weak but cul pable. A year ot trial bad proved the occu pation of Arkansas a failure. It had rubbed the nation of many lives and much treasure. We lost strength and reputation. The condi tion having been before described, we will not repeat, the statements. As matters of com mon notoriety they have not been i efuted. Denied they may have been, as in the letter to the Tribune of the 19th. We notice this, though not to reply. It admits none. The tenor of its argument is that of a child’s: confining himself to a denial and as sertion of an opposite. The “fine point” has indeed been put on.”- There is more poe try than grace. To relieve ourselves from obligations from the writer’s “charitable suppositions,” and to Jmet any apprehension as to our status, we leavow Identification with any party; both with the opponents of Steele’s policy, and certainly with his partisans. For the former we have much respect. We arc bound to neither by personal or political ties, and thcrc forcjconsider ourselves independent testimo ny. We are possessed pf no cotton plantation on the river. We hold no contract for hay? at S3O per ton. We provide no horses for the Government. We are obliged to the General for no lucrative appointment. We have not drapk of his wines, nor raced with his horses. We have not partaken of his hospitality. Had we done so, it is possiblc'wc might have Seen the “spotless crest,” “bright sword” and “unstained character.” It appears, how ever, muehlike the standard “clap-trap” so profusely scattered through the communica tion. Thus: “brave and accomplished ofli ccr” —“noble officer”—“gallant commander” —“skillful leader”—“wise ruler”—true and tried gentleman”—“accomplished gentle man”—“tme patriot.” Let us insert, “A. scccnd Daniel!”—“Jenkins’ Ferry, the fierc est and bloodiest battle of the war.” Heav en preserve os from our friends!! Surrounded by a party of questionable char acter, Steele’s policy partook of its nature. He became strangely conservative. The Lit tle Rock Democrat was supposed to rcOeci his views. To the Unionists It became so obnox ious that the Unconditional Union was started, in strong opposition. The inference is obvi ous the conciliatory policy ran to extremes; the guerillas captured by the 22d Ohio were released, and their horses and arms ordered restored; one captured while lying in am bush, was set at liberty; the order banishing a party from Batcsvlllc was revoked; rations withheld frem soldiers supplied the citizens; permits were as easily obtained os loyalty proven the country rejoiced in«a greater plenty than before the occupation; traders felt the “golden showercotton and other speculators waxed rich; deserted plantations in the fertile valley of yie Arkansas were ex pected to yield the “golden fleece; if com mon report be true, officers In high position turned not aside; there was “feasting in high places;” this was 'the “goodly heritage;” “there was a sound of revelry by night.” The condition becanie on evil. The prats seemed helcWor trade and speculation. The country *as- yielded to the enemy. To the Unionists was the alternative —the army, or exile. The former was largely recruited. Many left. One writer estimated the refugees at 80,000 prior to August, 1604. The policy is opposed by the Unionists as hurtful. It was assailed in a letter of a general officer. We beard it condemned by another. Ills derided by the army. The fact that it is supported by every trader, speculator and contractor, and tenderly cherished by the whole disloyal ele ment of the States, makes It at least suspi cions. These lattcrclasses bring in the large majority,-in so far it may be called accepta ble to the people. As a redeeming feature, ladies of certain proclivities were heard to de clare they wished not to live in the Slate were Steele removed. Steele’s carreer is to a great extent identi fied with his policy. Properly speaking, he has no military history. As a Department Commander he is to be* considered. With tbe exception of his advance upon and retreat from Camden, wbcu disaster overtook him on the banks of tbe Saline, he never left the city. He lost the pontoon train and his transporta tion. We liftvc not heard it claimed os though we have conversed with many actors in the campaign. The General has tried to make the Army of Arkansas efficient. It has liberally supplied men and material. Tet it demands more. like another Moloch, it asks for continued sacrifices. The victims of last summer have not appeased it appetite. Dis ease wasted the strength of brigades. Of 3,000 stationed at Fine Bluff, 800 died. Inactivity was a greater enemy than hostile shell and bullet. Our resources were not husbanded. Hun dreds of sacks of oats and bales ofhay rotted on the banks of the White River, at Duvall's Bluff. There was forage in the country at our occupation, but it was not gathered in season and the enemy swept it off. Then came a scarcity. Horses ana mnlcs starved. Wc lost many. There was another element affecting the condition. For example, horse racing became a passion. Cavalrymen tried the speed of their horses on the track and through the streets. The cavalry became, to a great extent, powerless. We saw It in its strengih—when 7,000 under Davidson marched to join Steele. Itis not now as then. Were it the part of a commander, from a desire of personal case and pleasure, to waste the strength and spirit of a veteran army, the General has won that glory. ’Tis hardship, toil,” &c. The holding of four posts is the extent of our military occupation. This has absorbed the energies of a great army. A su perior army of Invasion has been reduced to the defensive. Though it was known Price was propping his invasion, he was not at tacked neither intercepted in his passage. -Ee crdfeeed the Arkansas with from 7,000 to 0,000 men. Let it suffice to create a panic in the city.- Mower, sent in anticipation to Steele's support, was detained nine days at Brownsville, and conld leave only when Price touched the Missouri line, and danger to Lit tle Bock had vanished. Rumors arc rife and apprehensions active. Panics arc os periodi cally frequent as nervous attacks in a council of old women. At one time Magruder is ad vancing—at another Kirby Smith is near; then Price and Shelby are feeling” the line. During these paroxysms of anxiety the enemy may be miles away. They may, foo, serve to mask but not conceal the inactivity. E. B. S. Tbc Iflassatliusctltt Foreign Substitutes The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says: Massachusetts is in trouble. Her importa tions of Swedes, Foies, Germans, Hungarians, by the cargo, to fiU’her quotas under the' various recent calls for troops, have turned out badly, and the War Department is think ing of refusing to give her credit for the scum thus foisted upon the public service. The fact is that nearly all these imported mercenaries nave deserted to the enemy, under the liberal terms of General Lce’sproctarnation, and that tuch as have yet been unable to desert are utterly unable or willing to fight. In a recent case, in the rifle-pits before Petersburg, they propped their arms and lay down fiat on their bellies In the trench while a charging column of rebels swept over them, carrying all that were in the party back to Petersburg as pris oners. They plead in excuse that they know nothing of our quarrel and have no interest in it; that they were hired in Europe for peace ful and non-belligerent labors on railroads, canals, &c., and that they have been utterly swindled and cheated in the manner of their being induced to enter the service. It would not be one of the worst of the President’s jokes should he refuse to recognize this absquatu lating foreign refuse as fit representatives of the hero sons of the Old Bay state, demand ing of Governor Andrew that another man should he furnished in place of every one of these deluded deserters. TheTecords of courts mtrtial in the case of forty-eight military officers are officially pro-, mitigated. These Include two lieutenant colonels, three majors, fifteen captains, elgh -11 cn first lieutenant s and eight second lieuten ants. They had committed various offences, such as making false returns, disobedience of 01 ders, fraudulently receiving money, misbe havior before the enemy, gambling and drink ing with enlisted men, - (EC. 9.

HOGS.—Receipts since the close of Saturday's mar* ket, 10,870 bogs; besides which about an equal nmn* ber were left overunsold. Entered sales, yesterday and to-day at all the yards of the city, 22.0 M bead, at fS.OCQU.sO. chlcSy at |IO.OC®IO.GS V IM ns. Since oar previous report there has been a very marked Improvement In the activity of the market, and upon the sales made we not© an advance ofSSQSSc per 110 ns on extra grades, and 6t l*JM5c per 100 frs epoa bacon togs. The weather yesterday had become much cooler, and consequently more tutted for trade; and at ax early boor In the morning it became apparent that boyrra were more than ordinarily eager, to operate even at an advance upon Saturday's quotations. Dro ver*, as usual, were not alow to take advantage of the opportunity thus offered of getting a riae upon the previous rates of the market, and accordingly bnainees was, for Sunday, very brisk, and the yards were at an early period of the day pretty well cleared at the ad vance above referred to. Although the weather had somewhat to do with this Increased activity of the market, itlll there were other Influences. For some days past there has been a tacit arrangement among packers to stop baying, until some change bad taken ptace In the movements of the provision market. This arrangement has, however, fallen jthrongh, [so (that (all feel themselves again at liberty to purchase stock ad llbltam. The claw of Hogs in the’market embraced'-* Car higher range of quality than ve hare had daring the season; and for really extra grades there hss been for days past an Inquiry which conld not he met. bat which, yesterday, was fully satisfied. And again wo note that aw Impression seems to he gaining ground dally that we arc to have a short crop of Hogs. Wo believe the opposite opinion has prevailed among Eastern opera* tors. Ik Is, however, clear that drovers from all parts ■of the Western districts affirm that the supply for thU season Is pretty much exhausted. We bare listened to these reports for some weeks past, hat, remember, hcrlng that the same cry was raised even earlier last year, although the opposite was the fhet, have been alow to give any publicity to them. All we have now to say is that the largest drovers without exception state that, from rations causes, the stock ot Hogs In the coontnUfl very limited and the receipts In future will be very restricted. Of the entered sales since Saturday we note that Wallwork A Mallory sold 4,130 hogs, principally of me*' dimn to prime (grades at a range 0f99*50&i9.60; John Adams 2,262 head, also chiefly mediem to prime grades at t?-52K(8i0,63K; John Grldley 1,473 bead, principally verycxtraqnalltles at |9.75#11A0; R.

The weather today has bees milder, and buyer* seem to hare less confidence In the adrance of yester day being maintained, hat with a rery small propor tion of Hogs remaining unsold, there baa been no quotable change to note.

A Committee appointed at an Inlorma! meeting of the Cotmmny. visited the Oil Territories cf Wtat Vir ginia. for the sole purpose of selecting the best Ol! Lands to be iwuad. They sought and obtained the aid of some ol the most practical Oil men ofpenntylvanla, and of West Vinrioia, and In company with them, to gether with two of the must eminent geologists ol the country,selected thclandsnow owned by the Com pany. First Is a lot of IK to 2 acres of land on Bane Neck, within about 50yards of the great Gllfillan Well, and upon which they has c struck oil In their drst well, at s depth of 25" L et, which continue* Cowing oil at in tervals of sto 10 minute*.

The Royalty is ono-hall the on. _ Seconc is a tract of 100 acres, called the Riley Farm, or better known an the gsoltihar Spring Farm," from a very Cm- sulphur spring situated on the premises and living quite alocal celebrity irom the curative T>roi>ertles of Us waters. This land lies on both side* of stream known at Sulphur Spring Run, and give# ■unmistakable evidence* of oil throughout lu entire length: It Is surrounded by the unsurpassed Oil Ten l tones oi Horse Keck- Ai*cd this xract is now bored to a depth of about seventy feet, mnd the work is prosecuted with vigor; the location *waichosrutorltby thcpractiaal oil men and gcolo grists whu assisted In selecting the lands, and there is scarcely a doubt ol a very large yielding well being Sound here. A good road runs entirely through this farm, and a large part oi the boring territory I* within three quar tern or a mile of the Ohio River. The average cost ol ■transporting the oil to the river from any port of this Arm, will not exceed twenty-five cents per barrel. That this Is a great advantage, will be readily perceiv ed, when from oil territory not more than three miles vlistant, U cost* one dollar and a-half per barrel to Jiao] it to tb» river.

To Commanding officers, Augusta: Please insert the following dispatch in all the newspapers in Augusta: All men of my command now in Georgia will rendezvous at Augusta, and those in South Carolina at Columbia, and wait orders. Wade Hampton,'Maj. Gen. A PORTION OF HAMPTON’S CAVALRI AI^EADT AT AUGUSTA. [From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Nov. 23,] Our citizens were gratified last evening by seeing among the troopg-arriving in our city a portion of Hampton’s splendid cavalry from Virginia. HAMPTON ON HAND. [From the Savannah Republican, Nov. 23L] This great hero of the saddle has published an order for all men of his command In Geor gia to rendezvous immediately at Augusta, and those in South Carolina at Colombia. DRACO MOVING TEN THOUSAND MEN FROM WILMINGTON TO AUGUSTA. [From the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel* No vember 24.] It will be seen from a dispatch In another column that General Brayq r.as left Wilmington idth reinfurcrmrjiis for this place. These, we arc told, number abotef ten thousand. These, in addition to those who started for Augusta from another section on Saturday, will make quite a formidable array. [From the Savannah Republican, Nov. 21L] We perceive, too, that General Bragg is en route for Augusta with a heavy force. These, with the foi ccs already on hand, are likely to give the Yankee General Sherman his hands lull, and make him regret for life that he over undertook a journey through Georgia. REINFORCEMENTS ARE CONSTANTLY ARRIVING AT AUGUSTA. [From the Augusta Cdnstitntionaliat, Nov. 24.] Reinforcements are constantly arriving in our city. The air responds to the shriek of tlie engine whistle day and night. The sol diers appear to be in excellent spirits and to enjoy the prospect of a fight ahead. The gloom which overspread our city a short time since has disappeared entirely. Everything wears a cheerful aspect. RONTORCXMENTS EXPECTED FROM LORD ISLAND. [From the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, No vember 25.] We understand from reliable authority that large reinforcements are expected in this city this evening from Lord Island. WHEELER AT AN UNMENTIONABLE POINT. [From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Nov. 25.] Wheeler, with many thousand men, has in-- terceptcd the enemy at a point at present un mentionable and is giving them no rest night or day. A LARGE CAVALRY FORCE IN SHERMAN’S REAR-, [From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Nor. S3.] Prisoners, captured from the enemy on the Georgia road state that the Intention of Sher man was to avoid Augusta and strike Macon propably—Savannah certainly. Atlanta is now in our possession. A strong force of cavalry is following Sherman, and it is not Impossible that the Invincible Forrest—Sher man’s evil genius—may ere like a wolf on his rear and flanks. THE GREAT COMMERCIAL CENTER OF THE CON- FEUEUACY A VAST MILITARY CAMP. [From the Augusta Const!tntionalists, Nov. 24.] Augusta, u lew day* since the great com mercial center of the Confederacy, now haa the appearance of a vast military camp. The stores are being closed and their owners arc shouldering their muskets. Our streets arc enlivened with the sound ol iustrumcnlaland martial music and the tramp of soldiery. Everything betokyis a united and determin ed purpose of resistance. PROCLAMATION OP THE MATOE—EVERYBODY INTO THE TRENCHES. Every resident of the city of Augusta capable of bearing arms is hereby required to reporthimself to Gen. Fry, headquarters, this (Tuesday), by four o’clock p. m. Merchants, business men and citizens of all classes, refugees, and all in our midst, of every age capable or rendering service, are required to report that they may be assigned to companies for the defense of our city against the enemy now rapidly approaching. Let none hang back or lalterin this hour of trial. Let our homes and hearthstones be the watchword to summon our entire people to the rescue, and let him who would hesitate find no countenance or sympathy from any source. The crisis la upon us, the tocsin is sounded, and it behooves every man worthy ofliving or dying a freeman, to do his duty to himself, his country, his posterity, and his God. R. H. Mat, Mayor. AUGUSTA TO BE DEFENDED TO THE LAST." [From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Nov. 23.] Of one thing at least our people may rest assured, and that Is that Augusta will be de fended to the last extremity. The ..force to make that defence stubborn and successful will be at hand and arc now gathering like the clans of Roderick Dbu. Gen. Fry Is pro gressing with most commendable energy, and Gen.

This being done promptly the work will be impregnable to au Yankee armies. A rccelptand bond will be given for all negroes so surrendered, with valoatTon, and they will be well taken care of and returned to their owners in time for the planting season. It is confidently hoped mat ail planters and cit izens who may have negroes will act promptly in this matter, and tbc completion of the work will be speedily accomplished. Planters will please send with their negroes such spades, shovels, axes and picks as they have, and for which they will be paid.

Sherman’s movement than the rebels themselves, and we know that they are stirred as they never have been before at the boldness of his advance. The Savannah journals are not brought to us now until after they arc two days old, for fear that we shall he {oo highly elated at the strait in which the Confederacy finds itself. The last authen tic information from the rebels tells us that Sherman is advancing in three columns, with a force estimated at 00,000 men, at least one half of whom are cavalry and mounted in fantry. Thepublic buildings ofMUledgeville, the capital of Georgia, have been hnmt, and the' Legislature, being in session at the time of Sherman’s advance force entering the town, .adjourned in confusion, some of.the tnembers paying as high as one thousand dollars for transportations distance of eight miles. Ton are able to form an idea of the reign of terror that now obtains in Georgia and South Carolina, from the files of news papers which I forward. A levy en nlasse has been ordered, and Beauregard is in command of the troops. There seems to be most per turbation because Sherman has -shrouded his objective point in mystery, by sending out immense bands of mounted men to ravage the country pn the flanks of his main col- On* Monday last he was at Gordon, winfkitillery, about fifteen miles from Mil. Icdgville, and had fortified the Georgia Cen tral Railroad between Gordon and Griswold ville, cutting off 2,500 of onr prisoners that were to have been brought up from-Camp Sumter, at Andersonville. To impede his progress, the bridges over the Oconee river, bare been destroyed and the country devas tated in his front, so that he shall be unable to subsist upon it. The -roads have been to a great extent rendered impassable by felled, trees and pitfalls, and the rebels claim that during the past three days the progress of the Union troops east ward has not exceeded six miles. Iney also claim that their cavalry are picking np large numbers of our stragglers, hv dashing on onr rear and flanks. From all that I can learn, I believe Sherman’s main body to be within 125 miles of Savannah, with nothing to oppose him save ihc militia and such other unorgan ized forces as the emergency has brought to gether, and that the chances of h!s reaching the seaboard are at present altogether In his furor. Should he be delayed, by artificial ob structions of the road, long enough for Lee to detach a part of his army to confront him, Grant in that case would be able to drive the rebels out of Virginia, and Sherman would doubtless find a mode of retreat, from the bear! of rcbcldom, eouthweatwardlv to Mo bile. A tremendously bold game Ca in pro gress on the military chessboard; and ii is easy to see that the enemy believe ut to be in out hands. H- J. W. SIITCING OF TOE FLORIDA. Full Particulars of (he Collision, The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the N. T. World gives the following particulars of the sinking of the pirate Florida: On the 18th instant the Florida, then lying at anchor in Hampton Roads, was ordered by the Navy Department to be taken up the James river and ancbored.nnder the guns of the ram Atlanta, off Newport News.- She. was commanded by Acting Master Jonathan Baker, who had a crew of ten mem and there were besides Third Assistant Engineer Lan non, an Acting Ensign, and four firemen. On the 19th the Florida went to Norfolk to coal, and just before starting was run into by steamer Alliance and very seri ously damaged. The transport struck her on her bow, knocking off her head-chains and booms, and otherwise injuring her. She was in very Lad condition when captured, and all the time since her arrival here Ac has leaked so badly as to keep the steam-pump engaged* continually. The collision with the Amauce greatly increased the volume of the water which constantly poured into her, causing her to fill at the rate of eight Inches an hour. On the arrival of the Florida, at Newport News an additional pump was secured from the Atlanta, and the two were kept uninter ruptedly at work.- The position of the ves sel was about half a mile from the shore and three quarters of a mile below the Atlanta. Here she had remained since the 20th. A very strict watch had been kept day and night, as it was supposed that measures might be .taken bythe rebels to attempt her destruc tion from the shore. About 9 o’clock on Sunday evening, one of the pumps on board suddenly gave out, throwing an additional burden upon the re maining one, though the water was for a time apparently kept down as before. At 13)£ o’clock Mr. Baker inspected the pomp, and observing that the water then gain ing, retired. An hoar afterwards the engi neer in charge reported to him that he comd not keep the vessel clear, and that the water was gaining constantly. The commander Im mediately called all hands, the deck pumps were rigged, and they commenced bailing ac tively. The Atlanta Was also signalled with-. out delay, and two boats’ crews were harried from the ram to the aid of the sinking vessel, before they arrived, however, the water had risen considerably above the fire-room floor, so that it was found necessary to put the fires out. Thd pump .engine was ttiua a topped, and Ibe water kept pouring In at a fearM rate. It was impossible, at any time after it w astound tbc ill-fated ship was staking, to move her toward tbc shore, as there was but seven pounds pressure of steam—just sufficient to work tbc pumps. Neither were there means at hand for towing her ashore. From the fact. that the boilers of tbo Florida were con structed for burning soft coal, and there was only hard coal* on board, it took, under any circumstances, a long time to get up sufficient steam to work her engines. In a few minutes after sending the‘two boats to the Florida, Capt. Woodward, of the Atlanta, came himself on board to see wbat could be done to keep her afloat. But it was apparent that she must soon sink, and the men were ordered to save their effects, and prepare to leave her to her fate. The Florida kept rapidly filling, so that at 7 o’clock the water was a foot above the berth deck. At the same time that Mr. Dakar signaled the Atlanta he scut a telegraphic message to Admiral Porter at this plape that the Florida was sinking. The Admiral immediately or dered the tug Page to steam up to the Flori da, and W»w her into shoal water toward the shore. The tug came alongside at 7:15, but. the Florida was by this time so near sinking that It was deemed dangerous to attach it, os in going down she would take the tug along with her. i few minutes after, with eight feet of water in her, she careened over and' disappeared stem foremost. Mr. Baker and Capt. 'Woodwaid remained alongside In the tug until she went trader. The Florida had all her guns and every thing on board, just os. when she was cap tured. The cause of her sinking is considered undoubtedly to be the collision with the transport steamer, and It is supposed that the Government will call upon the owner of that vessel lor damages. The New Incendiary Shellx* Hdqrs. An my or tiib James, I Neau RicHkoKD, Va., Nor. 20, ’OL) The day before yesterday some highly in teresting experiments were made from Fort Brady, at the left of our lines on this side of the James, with an incendiary shell jvhlch, I believe, bears the name of. its inventor, Mr. A. Bemey, of the Greek fire notoriety. One hundred pound shells were fired from our battery, undercharge of Capt. 11. H. Pierce, of the First Conn. Artillery. Five frame houses, distance near a mile, were successive ly fired and burned to the ground.. The cel lar of one of these had, it appeared, been used as a sort of magazine, as shells -exploded ex tensively during its conflagration. To-day another trial was undertaken, or rather was to havc-bben undertaken had not our parapets been all down and some changes going on at tbe fort rendered It undesirable to provoke too protracted a fire from tbe rebel batteries across tbe James upon Fort Brady. A few ordinary shells were sent over to the “Johnnies,” however, with the com pliments of Capt. Pierce, and one of the in cendiary fellows was exploded in close prox imity to a large house m the, rebel lines in full view of our battery, but not near enough to it to accomplish Us ignition. We succeed ed, however, in drawing the fire from all.of the three batteries which the rebels have been so busily engaged in plant ing across the James for some weeks past, twelve guns In all, and they poured tbe shell very lively for near two hours into Fort Brady. We have elicited this feet, that.Oiey have 7 and 8-incb guns, 10-ineh Columbians and Whitworth guns mounted oter there, and that is about all, except that we can fire any building or •ollcclion of build-, iugs which is within range of our guns. In this connection it is Interesting to state that every bouse in Petersburg ties In easy reach of our works, and that wc also possess guns which are able, from our advanced position, to reach the very heart of the city of Rich mond. It will thus be seen what wc‘can do, and it may be my province hereafter to state either what we will clo or have already done toward causing the rebels to feel the hardships of war. Tbe rebels have bad a number of tbcirmost experienced sharpshooters perambulating their lines for some time past, armed with some captured guns of ours, for the purpose of discovering Gen. Butler In one of his ndes along tbe lines, and at some time shooting him—knowing this fromundoubted testimony. Gen. Lee was yesterday seen on the parapet of Fort Gilmer from onr own Fort Burnham (Harrison), and could have been treated to the same entertainment which he has not only sanctioned, but actually Is pursuing toward Gen. Butler; but no sneb cowardly act would be allowed by Gen. Butler with reference to Gen. Lee. Will the Richmond papers please determine which is the Beast” and which is the humane and Christian gentleman F’ Not thatlMan, but Another Man, The telegraphic dispatches in relation to the English “Peace Manifesto/’ say that it was brought to this country by Joseph Par ker. This is a mistake. The Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary was Joseph Barker, somewhat notorious in this country years ago as an infidel lecturer and controversialist. Mr. Barker has been everything by turns, and nothing long.” He first appeared before the English people as a Wesleyan Methodist'preacher. He then took up the Unitarian doctrine. From that belief he turned to. the doctrines of infidelity, and became a shining light among the Amer ican free thinkers. His debate in this city with the Rct. Dr. Berg, some years ago, upon the authority of the Bible and the Doctrines of Christianity, will be remembered by our citizens. Daring his residence In this country* Barker was also an ultra Abolitionist, and his denunciations of slavery were as bitter as those of Wendell Phillips and Wm Loyd Ga? risen. After having enjoyed a wide celebrity among the Friends of Reason,” and having gone through the country lecturing upon Slavery and Christianity as “twinborbarians,” Barker fell from grace even among his ad mirers. After a life of Western adventure he went back to England, where he was again “converted” to Christianity and be came a dissenting preacher. At the breaking out of the rebellion he took up the defense ol slavery with a vehemence osatrongas that which he had once used in denouncing it. Ho became an itinerant lecturer employed by the “Southern Independence Association” to disseminate secession doctrines amon» the English people. He now appears as the am bassador from Lis masters with this “peace petition.” Barker is a good speaker and able m debate, but he is a man utterly devoid of principle. Such a fellow seems to be a pro per tool lor the English secessionists, to whom an unscrupulous creature who posses ses talent but no honesty may be made very useful. Houses Scarce In Washington, The 'Washington Chronicle says: “The need of dwellings loathe city of Washington is great; the population is con stantly on the Increase, and already the ex orbitant rentals charged for all classes of habitations tenants to sub-let their premises to an extent seldom approximated by larger cities farther north. A few facts speak for themselves. On Massachusetts ave nue a gentleman put up two buildings under one roof, which, at the present high “Tates of materials, did not cost over S3OOO. They have rented for sixty dollars per month. “A gentleman purchased a frame house with lot for fourteen hundred dollars, which he immediately let to a responsible tenant for one hundred and fifty dollars per month. There are hundreds of cabins erected in the suburbs of the city, not more than ten feet square, some of them having hut one room, which rent for from twenty to thirty dollars per month, and the worst feature in the case is, that more persons complain because nei ther house nor apartments can be had at any. price, rather than, at the high price they have to pay for them. A notable instance illus trates the present condition of affairs in this regard: Two months ago we conversed with a gentleman who was erecting a row of flue dwellings on speculation. He said he intend ed to sell each house for $5,000, and was then rather doubtful or obtaining so large a stun. 1 To-day they are not quite finished, bat are all sold at $7,000 each.” fg" The Pekin a report from the Chiscse Government on the extinc tion of the rebellion, which ends with the fol lowing words: v “It is therefore most needful that thanks be offered to the gods for their assistance. Wherefore the Board of Rites is directed to examing into the service rendered by the dif ferent gods, and to report to us. Porceedlngs at (be Dedication of Hl« Union UUcgt ■■Mr. Chaw’s Ota* tfon. Editors Chicago Tribune; A large and appreciative audience havlag assembled on the Ist inst. in the new and magnificent edifice of Mt. Union College, tbs meeting was called to order by Rev. O.- N. Hartshorn, L L I), President of the College, and the’organization was perfected by elect ing Col. Harris, editor of the Ohio Parmer, President, Col. S. C. Porter, Col. Wm. Sted man, CoL E.-Ball and Judge Ambler, Vice- Presidents, and J. T. Brooks, Esq., Hon. J. K. Runkcnbrod and Prof. I. 0. Chapman, Secretaries. After music by the Mt. Union Choir, and prayer by Rev. Dr. Reid, of Cin cinnati, Hon. 8. P. Chase was introduced and proceeded to deliver a very appropriate and truly masterly oration, In a manner eloquent ly impressive. His theme involved ths na ture, means and value of education, and its importance to Ihcpreservationand prosperity of our country. He traced the remote causes of the insane and fiendish rebellion in our country to the radical defects in Southern education. He demonstrated- that our free and republican institutions could rot prosper, nor long exist without fondly chcrisliiDg and liberally supporting our common schools and colleges. He argued at length the paramount claims of science and higher education, and that every bqy and girl of the land without distinction, is justly and equally entitled to thorough primary and" collegiate instruction in the same schools at the expense of the State and that, under the fostering patron age of the Christian Church. More than one third of the aggregate endowment funds of all the Colleges of Ohio were ob tained last while quelling rebels and nobly sustaining our free institu tions. The speaker then compared the rela tive objects, growth, and usefulness of Ameri can and European colleges, and closed by referring to tbc history, character and success of Mt. Vernon College, and by invokingupon its brightening future the continued munifi cence of an appreciating public, and tbc pro tection of on All-wise Providence. The meeting took a recess until evening, when thcpcoplereasscmbledtohearaddresses from Rev. J. M. Reed,-D.D.. editor of the IVcifcm Cliruium Advocate and late President of Geneva College, N. Y.,ond from Hon E. E. White, A. M. State School Commissioner, of Ohio. At the close of these addresses, which were of a very high order and delivered with a marked and happy effect, the religious dedicatory services appropriate to this reju* venating occasion were conducted by Rev. Dr. Reid, and the benediction pronounced by Rev. J. N. Baird. D. D., of the Pittsburg Confer ence. During the interim of the afternoon and evening addresses, Rev. John McCarty, the collcgq agent, sold scholarships amount ing to hij|wecn three and four thousand dol lars besides the reception of some very ac ceptable donations. The college is located In a very moral, healthy and enterprising com munity near Alliance, and is now engaged in teeming a permanent endowment and has already received amounts indicating entire euececss.

It Is (Tom experience that Constitution Water has emanated, and we now say lot no man doubt when a single bottle has been known to cure diseases which the best medical talent la this country has failed to relieve. A remedy poescaeine the virtue* of Constitution Water cannot t>c classed under “quack "preparatleiM a* it Is now used by tie most scientific practitioners la this city. It la only second class physicians that cry down popular remedies, while the better skilled use of every means to accomplish a core; and the toe* ccs* ol the ptivslciaa Increases us his knowledge ofdll- Ccrcnt remedies enables him to produce a cure, whilo others fall in the attempt. Science Is satisfied with the truth. (jive Constitution Water a fair trial—we mean you who are nndcr some specialists care from year to year, and wc particularly ailude to ladies who are constant ly resorting to local treatment and all aorta of local applications for diseases, with as much ehhneo of crea os there wbuld he from local application to th* ttiroat (or diseases of the brain. Wc have always been careful to use language in oar circular that could not shock the most delicate organl* nation, bat we receive so many communications from persons fur which Constitution Water Is adapted, and of whose disease no mention has been mode, that ww have come to the conclusion that if the remedy Is ca pable of producing a core, no matter what the mavbc.it should be made known. The medicine to pot up for the public, and there should be no excep tions. We would say. Constitution Water Is not like a slid* ed pill, made to suit the eye and taste; It is a mediclua In everv sense of the term, placed In urn bands of the people "for thelrrcllef. and If taken according to the direction*. It will In every case produce a radical cure. Wc would say that the directions In regard to diet, dM. relate only to the disease under which they occur. DIABETES Is a disease of the Stomach and Liver, acting through the Kidnetß, and Is, without doubt, the moat obstinate disease, except Consumption, that affects the bnmax ocnstltntion. We have no space for dUottsslng causes* bnt wiU’atate that the effect of the disease Is the con version of the starchy principle (or vegetable porlloa of the food) Into sugar, which stimulates the kidneys to an extensive secretion of water. Many persons suf fer from this disease who are Ignorant of It; that Is, they pasa large quantities during the day, and are obliged to get up from one to fifteen or twenty time* during the night. Xo notice is taken ol It until thetn attention U called to the large discharge of water. often when It Is so far advanced aa to be beyond the control ot ordinary remedies. Another symptom to the great thirst which, when the disease Totally estab lished, 1» Intolerable—the patient diinfb; constantly without being satisfied: also dryness of the mouth, cracklnzofthellpa-asweetbrrath. In the more ad vanced cases, and finally loss of appetite, emaciation, and the patient gradually sinks from exhaustion. CONSTITUTION WATER Is without doubt the only known remedy for DTABzm and we have as much confidence that it Is a specific a* we have that opium will produce sleep, and truthfQQy say that it haa cured every case in which it has beta used. Stone In the Bladder, Calcnlas, Gravel, Brick Dost Deposit, and Macons or Milky Discharges after Urinating. Disease occurring from one and the same cause wfS be entirely cured by the Constitution Water. IT taken for any length of time. In Dysmenorrhea, of Palnfni Menstnatlm ind Menorrhagia, or FrolUd Flowing. Both diseases occurring from a faulty secretion of the menstrual fluid—ln the one case being too little, and accompanied by a severe pain, and the other a too pro fuse secretion, which will be cored sneedllr bv the Constitution iV.ler. J That disease koovn u TAT.T.WO OF THE WOMB, which la the result of a relaxation of the »ir»ni«»ntTof that organ, and Is known by a sense of heaviness dragging pains In the back and sides, and at times ao* companfed by sharp lancinating or shoo tin* palna through the parts, will. In all casca.be removed by th« medicine. TBere la another dais oL symptoms arista* from IR RITATION OF THE WOMB, which physicians call Nervousness, which word coyen up much Ignorance, and In nine cases oat often, the doctor doesnot really know whether the symptoms are the disease, or the disease the symptoms.

Irritatioa of the Neck of Uie Bladder, In9am* nation of the Kidneys, Catarrh of and Earning, or Painful Frinatlnj. For these diseases It to truly a sovereign remedy, and tpo much cannot bo said In Its praise. A single desw has been known to relieve the most urgent symptom*. Are you troubled with that distressing pain ta thw small of the back ano through the hlpe? A teaspoon.- ftti a day of Constitution water will relieve yon Hk% magic. PBITSICIAXS Have long since given up the use of buchu, enbebs and Juniper in the treatment of these diseases, and only use them for the wantofsbetter remedy.

Sometime daring the month of November through mail was dispatched from Galesburg to Chicago on the regular night train from Gales* burg, on the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Bail* rood, which foiled to reach its destination. Clark Corr, Esq., Postmaster at Galesburg, conferred with the Postmaster at Chicago to ascertain, if lotsible, the whereabouts of the missing moil bag. t was certain that it had been properly made up in tbeJSalesbnrg office, and doly placed on board the baggage car, as is the usual custom. All ef forts since made by the two officials to discover it have failed until a day or two ago. The maimer in which the theft was discovered and the robber arrested is somewhat singular, and shows, yet again, how readily some men work to their own undoing. On Saturday afternoon a man called at the Thin! National Bans, of this city, on the comer of Dearborn and Bandolpb street, with a check for S4OO bearing the firm signature of Bowen Bros., wholesale dealers in drygoods. One of the firm—Mr. J. 11. Bowen—ls President of the Bank, and happened to be behind the counter when the check was presented. The teller band* cd the check to Hr. Bowen asking him if it was “all right,'* and be immediately saw that the sig nature had been forged. Bw asked the visitor where he got the check from, and was answered, “from a caiUe-dcalcr, in Kalamazoo, in payment for a lot of hogs.” Hr. Bowen seemed to believe his story, and asked him to accompany him across tuo street that they might see the persons inter ested. The visitor consented, and the two walked qnielly over to the Central Police Station, where the tttarerofthe check was given in charge. On searching him were found seventeen letters con taining as many drafts, and other memonm* H.® of considerable value. Bis room at the Batch Bouse was also searched, and twenty-two acr containing a draft, making in, fJ4 representing a value of The name of the robber is John B.

Report of the Secretary—Progress Bade Dur ing tbe Tear—Reminiscences of tbe Past—Tbe Honored Dead* Address of W- H. Brown, 2sq— Early History of the Anti-Slav ery Kovement an South ern Illinois- There waa a fair attendance at the Lecture Boom of the New Jerusalem Temple, Adams stnnt, between Wabash and Michigan avenues, last evening, on the occasion of the anniversary meeting of the Chicago Historical Society. It has never been the aim ol the members of this society to popularize It, in the general acceptation of the tenu, so that the comparatively small attendance did not argue a want of Interest in the objects to promote which the society was organized. Ba eldm those learned In historical lore connected with the society, there were gentlemen from abroad, among whom were noticed L A. Lanham. D. D., President of the Historical Society of our sister State of Wisconsin, and others more or less distinguished. Of our own prominent fellow citizens there were f toand othere! Haven, Bart- At 8 o'clock, J. Y. S caramon, Esq„ took the Chair and called tho Society to order. Rev Wm Barry, the' Secretary, was introduced and present ed the following review of the operations of the Society for the year just passed: TH* SECnETABT'S BEPORT. In presenting this ninth annual report, the Sec retory has the satisfaction -of noticing a year of general activity and success. Although grim war has still dleolated our homes and saddened oar hearts, it has been a year, strange to say, of grate ful conpensatlon In unexampled benefit to the public Institutions of Illinois—especially of onr munificent city. The observatory, the museum of Natural Histoiy, to say nothing of tho numerous benefactions and enterprises, so honorable to our churches, colleges, Board of Trade, and other In stitutions, will bo enduring monuments of tho spirited bounty of this city of yesterday. W Lit tier has written of one State of the Union: “And what her rugged soil denies. The harvest of the mind snpplle-.“ Happy it is for lllinois.that tho golden harvests of her bounteous nature! andjalmost unparalleled wade, are tints made typical and prophetic of yet richer fruits In her intellectual and nforal future. May it be said of this State as ol the poets: “The riches of tbe Coaumo wealth. Arc free strong minds and hearts ofbeiUh. And more to her than cold or grain. The canning hands and collared bruin.” It has been customary to notice this Society's proceedings in reference to a three-fold division of its labors: Find, in the sphere of antiquarian or archeological research; second, its library col lections and, thisd. its contributions to onr mod ern history, local or national. As regards tho first. It is sad to confess how little is done or even attempted in Illinois in behalf of those ancient re mains which unnumbered ages have banded down to ns. Here they -arc in imposing numbers and and array—their origin, are, builders, history, alike a riddle. A little has been done by us else where—in Ohio and Wisconsin, for instance—to rescue these interesting monuments from rain, or to save to science some knowledge of their forms, structure and contents. Yet in Illinois the-hand of the preserver is still, while the hand of the de stroyer 1b never stayed. Recent research is strengthening a theory, suggested some years slateln the Society's reports, that the forms and arrangement of tbe moenda may have been de signedly historical, the premeditated signs of his torical. Ideas or facte. Should some later Cham pollion decipher these supposed hieroglyphics of the now unknown race that built tasm, how deplorable would bo felt the loss of a single Tnound, as of a leaf torn out of the presto ns chronicles of man's earliest ages. The subject-of the antiquity of man which is now at tracting earnest attention throughout Europe, may yet need the light to be thrown by these mys tic evrobole,.not wholly lost to us on-our Western prairies. By our Western lake and river sides, in the tumult of war and rush of Western settlement and trade, one may not plead with success the claims of these silent voices of* the great prgr historic past. May wc not bop? that some earn est, far-seeing minds will yet be the successful ad vocates of these traditionary monuments, staving at least the violence that would mar and deitroy them, or yet belter, preserving them to the science of the future, as they have been trans mitted unimpaired to us. Let not our Christian civilization be reproached as the vandal destroyer of monuments which the ages and the untutored red men have reverentially spared. In passing to notice the stadety'slibrary with its varied collections of the post year, the best sum mary will lie afforded by presenting a tabular view of the annual and total collections, as follows: JSB3-L Total. Books bound....- -172 13.392 Unbound Books and Pamphlets.... 5,932 57,874 Old and rare Newspapers 86 356 Files of Newspapers 149 1,109 Files of Serials. 271 1,844 Maps and Charts. 25 1,129 Prints and Photographs 22 181 Contributions to tbe Cabinet, indi vidual and collective. 24 97 Collection of Miscellanies 33 120 Totals .1 10,505 80,702 To convey a foil view of the character and sources of the over ten thousand additions made the past year, the generous benefactions of SSO contributors, is simply impossible. Yet to tail wholly of the attempt, merely for its inadequacy, would be unjust. Many of these memorials of an eventful year have been received from the Executives of States, as of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, lowa, Ohio and Illinois: and while the Provincial Government of .Canada has most obligingly completed our files of its pub lished documents from ISSB to 16C3, the General Government of the United States, to the vigilant Representative from this .District, has fa vored ns with the entire published documents of the last Congress, with many of the present one. Then the relations of exchange with other insti tutions have brought ns, as. usual, esteemed publications from numerous sources. Among them are the American Philosophical So ciety st Philadelphia, the American Geo graphical and Statistical Society of New rone, the Academies or Institutes of Natu ral Science at Philadelphia, SL Louis, Sa lem, Mass., San Francisco and Canada and the Mercantile Library Associations of New York, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, SV Louis, Wilmington, Delaware, Milwaukee and San Francisco.

Where the xntcresta and honor of our growing Stato arc so sensibly affected as here, it iaremark able to observe that no collection of acomplete or anlhoriaed character has ever yet been made of the statistics °f Illinois. Such should not be long said °%A. S, 2 t0 of Bnch “asnitode and promise as this The Secretary may glance, in passing, at a pleas ing incident of the year-the late visit to our city and rooms of Mr. Goldwln Smith, Professor of History at Oxford, England, the earnest fnond of America in her present gigantic straggle. The Society appropriately commemorated lho occa slon, by plecinu MreSmith, with hie consent, on Its list oi Honorary Members. While on his re peoted visits to the Society's rooms, Unexpressed, with his esteem of its design and labors, tbe pari titular hope that It might be tho medium of col lecting and sending to England {where our mate rial prosperity 1b already well known) “Informs: tipn upon the progress of religion, science and education—the proofs of our Intellectual and moral manhood—which would be prized there by our friends above all else." But, (omitting other matters of minor interest) wc have time bat to notice one other prominent event of the year, which Is likely ta effect most sensibly the Socicty'sfaturc. Near a. year ago, a few generous members of this society commenced a private subscription to secure a lot and building forouralrcady unmanageable collection. Circma-' stances arrested their work near its happy end; bat the society at its annual meeting, three weeks ago, resuscictlcd and adopted the project, com mitting the subscription to energetic hands. In two weeks from that time the lot was secured—l2o feitby :3J 'cct, on the northwest corner of Ontario and Dearborn streets, at a cost in cash of $18,000: while more than SIO,OOO had been obtained beyond that Lino, nt, towards tbe erection of abuildiug. It now remains, only to augment tills last named amount till adequate to the erection of a commodi ous and safe fire-proot building—say 40 feet by 06 or £0 fett, to place this institution on a footing eomircnf un tc with Its parposi s, audgratifylng to onr natural sensibilities for the good ana honor of Chicago and the Northwest. The Secretary may be allowed in this connection to call up some striking reminhc -nces. In 1337, (twenty-seven years ago) when Chicago was in its municipal childhood—jnst five years old—there were in the bulled States only sir public Libraries, whose number of full-bound volumes exceeded that of this Society as reported this evening. The largest library then existing, was at Philadelphia, oi lorty-four thousand volumes, followed next by thatatUarvaid College, having forty-two thou sand. The Library of the Boston Anthcneura (next in order) numbered less than thirty thou sand. In the quarter of a century since elapsed, the number ol libraries in the United States, haring over ten thousand volumes, has risen from twenty ,to one hundred end fo Or; while the entire king dom of Great Britain and Ireland had, in 1650, but forty-three, and Trance, in the same year, but thirty-eight libraries above the some standard. Of the 104 in the United States, three exceed 100,000— that of Harvard College being the largest (110,000;) two haveßo,oooor more; two6o,OlK). This Socie ty occupies a place midway in the scale, being the fifty-sixth, out of IM. Tuts Arises, however, irom our rigorous teslof »hai is called a hound book —excluding those simply stitched and pressed, with covers of paper or pasteboard. In the num ber of what we call unbound books and pamphlets,- we are exceeded, as before observed, bv two insti tutions only. We recall these facts not in the spirit of vain toasting, bnt to call to mind (what we owe in part to the generous Aston, Pcabodys and Bateses of our times, bnt yet more to the geheraLenihualisni of an intelligent and free people) the bibliograph ical and literary advancement of America, within a quarter of a century; and this as a promise, and a monition, too, of what Is likely to await our own city. If, within a little inore than eight and a half years, without endowment, and In the face of dis couragements not few nor light, this young, strug gling neophyte has been placed where ills, what may we not nope for in Its yet to to unfolded fu ture- when a common lovifi and pride, sensitive regard for oar city's wel fare ,may attract to this now humble ministration to the common good, Dpt only the benefactions of large-hearted affluence, bnt the co operative good will of the many men of learning, science, art and genius, of all nationalities, rapidly congregating here. Do we mistake In the belief that on appropriate repository for this Society's collections, with suitable provision for their ar rangement and core, and for'a tasteful and commo dious reading room, which may be the attractive resort, when, desired, of the cultivated of both sexes, indeed of all who thirst for knowledge, is now a felt want which should not be disappointed, and the satisfaction of which would soon and rich ly repay the outlay it may require f We say repay. Yes, a foil revenue comes from such giving as this, a rich. harvest from this sow ing. Who. on entering some time-honored libra ry, and seeing above its well-filled and venerable alcoves the inscribed names of individuals. Whose generous benefactions once filled those shelves with the -'treasures of old en wisdom, for the benefit of future ages, has not warmed towards those long buried benefactors, and felt that is this pleasant communion of the dead and the living, perpetuate and never broken, was secured the true apotheosis, the genuine Immortality of beneficent influence. If, therefore, these pressing cares of ours, wheth er of commercial or professional life, which crowd on most, debar us from complete appropriation to ourselves of the intended benefits of on institution like this, will it not console us that the good we do will be gladly seized and garnered by net weight ot meat, seller slfaklng offal, !C@lSc.
