depends upon an advance corresponding
to the cost of publication, in which previ

the Convention made arrangements
to meet more completely the in

association based cn the plan of
the Associated Press of New York, an or

[Special Dispatch to tbs Chicago Tribune.!
Inulallai’OUS, November 25,1862.
An editorial convention, representing the
leading papers of the West, was held here to
day, and adjourned tins evening, after a har
monious session.
Measures were adopted for the Improve
ment of the Associated Frees dispatches, par
ticularly of Congressional reports, which, last
season, were sent from New York to the
West in very unsatisfactory shape.
In consequence of the price of white papsr.
It was resolved that an advance in the price of
newspapers was imperative. It was resolved
to memorialize Congress in relation to certain
duties that operate injurioasly on publishers,
such as the high imposts on bleaching pow
ders.
A ■Western Associate Press was organized.
A Board of Directors was elected, consisting
o? J. Media of tic Chicago Tribune, R. Smith
of tbe Cincinnati Gazette, Geo. Knapp of the
St. Louis Republican, H. N. Walker of tbe.
Detroit Tree Fresa, J. D- Osborne of tbe
Louisville Journal, R. RiutUs of tbe Pitts
burgh Gazette, and J. E. Elder of tbe la*
dianapolis Sentinel.
Richard Smith was chosen President of tbe
Association, and J. MediU, Secretary and
Treasurer thereof. The Board of Directors
are authorized to transact ail business per
taining to the good of the Association.
Publishers of Western daily papers not rep
resesented are invited to become members.
A convention will be held annually.
Last night a thief entered the room in tbe
Bates House iu which slept Smith of the Cin
cinnati Gazette, Potter of the Commercial,
McLean of the Enquirer, and Oshorac of the
Louisville Journal, and robbed the first of a
gold watch and pocketbook, and tbe second of
a gold dollar and a quantity of ehicplas
ter?, postage stamps, railroad passes, &c.»
bnt missed his wallet, and robbed tbe third
of a diamond pin, pocket knife and combs,
and the last of everything portable, taking
ids gold watch worth §SOO, pocket book, coat,
breeches, drawers, vest, hat, boots and socks.
Osborn detected the scamp just as he escaped
from the room, and pursued him some dis
tance down stairs cn dhJtahiUc, shouting, “stop
thief I” The police got on the sceut of the
rascal, and traced him six miles out of town,
and nabbed him just as he was stepping aboard
the train. lie is now in prison. The stolen
property was all recovered. The editors pro
nounce dim a horrid specimen of-human de
pravity, None of the Chicago editors were
robbed, as they sat up and watched their
pockets by turns.
It snows here.

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.!
The ordnance report at the Navy Depart
ment will show that we have gnus capable of
destroying any iron clads of European pow
ers.
Onr exports, exclusive of gold, during the
last fiscal year, show a deficit as compared
with ISCO, of one hundred and thirty
four millions Ices than in ISBL The real
increase ol exports is over ?ixty-two millions,
showing well tor a country engaged in civil
war.
It is rumored that Secretary Chase will sug
gest to Congress, either in his report or sub*
eeqncntly, to empower him to issue more
T.SCs, and perhaps, also, more legal tender
notes.
QtThe Commissioner of Internal Revenue says
he shall not make any full report to Congress
until January. He will, however, give the
Secretary of the Treasury, certain statistics
and estimates. His estimate of receipts un
der the tax law is less than those published
in the papers. He thicks $’330,000,000 too
largo an estimate. The Commissioner has de
cided that a person who pays employes in a
postoffice, is a disbursing officer, within the
meaning of the tax law.
Gen. McDowell’s court did nothing to-day.
His letter to the President was received from
the with direction to inves
tigate. Pending the question of the method
of proccedurc the court adjourned.
The Medical Examiners appointed to-day
by the Commissioner of Pensions, are: James
Bruce, Galesburg; Ales. Hewetson SL Clair
vlllc; and Charles Beardsley, Oskaloosa,
lowa.
The following Western soldiers have died
in the hospitals here; H. K. Watkins, Co. K,
Sth'Mich; Martin Hall, Co. H, 27th Ind.; W.
P. Hurlbut, Co. K, 33d Mo,
it is known that Secretary Chase lias been
supposed to be a candidate for the United
States Senate from Ohio, to succeed to Ben.
Wade, whose term has nearly expired. The
'upporitjou was doubtless correct, but recent
events both in the course of the Administra
tion and in State politics, somewhat change
the aspect of affairs.
Gov. Chase hus recently written a letter to
Senator Wade, assuring him that he (Chase)
will not In any contingency be a candidate,
•unless events shall have first conclusively es
tablished the impossibility ot rc-elccting
Wade, This puts an entirely new phase on
the Senatorial contest in Ohio. Everything
now depends on what influence and combina
tions may be brought to bear to render Wade’s
re-election an impossibility, in order to enable
Chose to become a candidate IThe should then
desire it.
At a meeting of the military commission to
try Gen. Fitz John Porter, to-day, Judge Ad
vocate Holt said the Government was not
ready to proceed with the case. Four hours
afterward the military commission dissolved
and a court martial was ordered for the 27th
inet Probably the cause of the change
Is the knowledge of the fact that the
counsel of Porter were preparing to contest
the validity of the military commission to try
cases arising out of rules, and articles of war.
Gen. McClellan will probably be one of the
witnesses summoned.
Senator Wilkinson of Minnesota arrived
here to-day . and bad an Interview frith the
President and Commissioner Dole, with re
gard to punishment of Indians concerned in
the recent massacres and condemned to death
by military authorities. He is understood to
protest strongly against the efforts being
made by Quakers and others to have the In

which he professed to furnish. The Surgeon
General was on the point of givings heavy

confirmation.
The court, in Pitz John Porter’s case, met
and adjourned. It seems there is some bitch

was issued by tho Secretary of War, but has
not been forwarded from headquarters of the

is on fool to keep Pope from coming and to
quash the whole investigation, from pruden

Among the latest arrivals of Western Con
gressmen are Senator Trumbull and Messrs.
McKee and Dunn.
It has transpired that during John Van Ba

was very emphatically told that no peace

the alleged allegations ot Gen. Scott.
Mr. Buchanan says that ha should have had
nothing more to add had Gen. Scott, in his
rejoinder, himself to the topics
embraced In his original letter.
Gen. Scott has extended the topics, and
now for the first lime, and in a sarcastic and
unkindly spirit, refers to the alleged stealing
of the public arms by Secretary Floyd, and
their transportation to the South in anticipa
tion ot the rebellion.
The most conclusive answer to this allega-
tion, Mr. Buchanan remark*, is that, notwich*.
standing the boasting of Floyd at Richmond,
evidently with a view ol conciliating bis
allies, there cited by Gen. Scott as bis author
ity, no public arms were ever stolen.
Had Gku. Scott reflected for a moment he
could not have fallen into this blunder.

THE HELENA EXPEDITION.
j.From a Private Letter.]
Caibo, Nov. 33,150*
The Helena expedition sent oat under the
charge of Gen. Hovey was probably not in
tended to operate ogainst Vicksburg, but ul
timately to reach Little Rock. They took not
six, but one ganboab along, and sixteen trans
ports. The expedition landed at the mouth
of White River on .Tuesday, the ISth inst,
Fort Arkansas, where the are reported
to be in force and well fortified, is not far
jrom that point.
A rise is reported in White River, and as
quickly os possible the attack will be made,
and it will be attempted to reach Little Rock,
where the State Confederate Assembly is now
in session, as soon as the inarch can be ac
complished.
[Correspondence of Chicago Journal.]
Helena, Ark., Nov. 17,1SSL
At length the inactivity which is the bane
of the soldier’s life seems to be giving place
I to something different at this place. vVith
\ regard to the expedition, itself, the destination
being contraband, I can only say now that it is
of great importance, judging from the number
of troops that have gone, and the preparations
I made to carry it out. The troops began to
I embark at 4 p. m., on Saturday, the 15:b, and
were not all on board before noon yesterday,
(Snnday X6tb.) The following boats were
swarming with soldiers as they left the
I levee: tee Key West, Stephen Decatur, Te-
I cumeeb, Meteor, City Belle, Imperial, Hia
-1 watba. Nebraska, Gladiator, Ohio Belle,
1 Rocket, latan, J. B. Williams, Lake City and
Catahoula. The fleet was accompanied by
I the gunboat Carondeiet. The whole force
consisted of about 16,000 men, commanded by
I Gen. Hovey, and as they wore embarking,
} and when the boats dropped down the river,
the wild and exultant shouts of the soldiers
I were almost deafening. There need be no
I anxiety about this post during the absence ot
I the force that has gone, for there is an abnnd
-1 ant strength left to deal roughly with any
I rebel force that may be brought against it.
I Our fort is iu excellent condition and in good
1 hande. During the absence of Gen. Hovey,
) Col. Wm. Vaudever will be in command of
I the army remaining.

The following is the response made to Gen.
Sumners demand for the surrender of the
City of Frederick:
Match’s Office, I
FnEDEKiCKeBURCj Nov. 21.1552. f
Brevet Msj. Gen. E V. Sumner, commanding Uni
ted States Army:
Sm; I have received, at twenty minutes be
fore live o’clock this afternoon, youv commu
nication o* this date. In it you state that
under cover of the houses of this town, shots
have been fired upon the troops of your com
mand; that our mills and manufactories are
furnislung provisions and the materials for
clothing for armed bodies in rebellion against
the government of the United States; that
our railroads and other means of trausporta-
tion are removing supplies to the depots of
such troops; that this condition of things
must terminate; that by command of Major
Gen- Burnside, you demand the surrender of
this town into your hands as the representa
tive of the government of the United States,
at or Wlor« five' ocloclr this afternoon; that,
failing an affirmative re-jl* -{; 0 this demand by
the trine indic^y fl) sixteen hours will be per
mittp‘2, to elapse lor the removal from the
town of the ■women and children, the sick,
wounded and aged, which period having
elapsed, you wilj proceed to shell the town.”
In reply, I have to say that this cotnumcl-
cation did not reach me in time to convene
the Council for its consideration, and furnish
areply by the hour indicated—s o’clock d. m.
It was sent to me throuch the hands of the
commanding officer of the Army of the Con
federate States, rear this town, to whom it
was first delivered, by consent of Gen. Pat
rick, who brought it from you, as X am in
formed, and I am authorized by the comman
der of the Confederate army to say that
there was no delay In passing it through
his band to me. In recar’d to the matters
complained of by yon, the firing of shots
upon your troops occurred upon the north
ern suburbs of the town, and was the act of
the military officer commanding the Confed
erate forces near here, for which neither the
citizens nor ihe civil authorities of this town
are responsible. In regard to the other mat
ter of complaint, I am authorized by the
latter officer to state that the condition of
things therein complained ot will no longer
esist; that your troops shall not he fired on
from this town; that the mills and manufac
tories will not furnish any further supplies,
provisions or material for clothing for the
Confederate troops, nor will the railroads or
other means of transportation here convey
supplied from thn town to the depot of said
troope outside of the town.
The civil authorities of Fredericksburg
have no control; but lam assured by the mil
itary authorities of the Confederate army neat
here that nothing will be done by them to in
fringe the conditions hcreim named as to mat
ters within the town. But the latter author
ities inform ns that, while their troops will
cot occupy the town, they will not permit
yours to do so. You must be aware that
there will not be more than three or tour
hours of daylight within the sixteen hours
given hy you for the removal of the sice and
wounded, the women and children, the aged
and infirm, from the place; and I have to In
form you that, while there is no railroad
transportation accessible to the town, because
of the interruption thereof by your batteries,
all other means of transportation within the
town are so limited as to render the removal
of the class of persons spoken of within the
time indicated an utter impossibility. I have
convened the Council, which will remain in
session awaiting any further communication
yon may have to make.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant
31. Slaughter, 3layor.
Last night was a busy time in Fredericks
burg, removlngthe inhabitants. The military
authorities were also not Idle, as daylight tins
rooming revealed to view a line of earth
works to the right and left of the town—the
resnlt of last night's labor. The artillery is
now being placed In the most favorable posi
tions, while the encampments which are in
ran o-e of the enemy's guns are being removed
further hack from the river.
There are very strong reasons for not open
ing upon the city to-day, unless forced to do
so by the enemy.
New York, Nov. 25.—A special to the
Seraldj dated Aqnia Creek, November 34th,
says:
Reports from Burnside's arms to-day repre
sent everything quiet and unchanged. The
city of Fredericksburg has not yet been
shelled, for reasons satisfactory to the com
manding General.
The preparations for a further advance are
steadily progressing. The enemy are still in
f orce on the opposite side of the river, and
improving the lime to prepare for as rigorous
a resistance to our crossing as possible.
A locomotive and cars were placed upon the
track here to-day; and the road will be opened
to the Potomac to-morrow. The rebel sym
rathiiers continue to cut the military wires.
Washixgtox, Nov. 25.— For several days
post the Washington press has been industri
ously straining tp create excitement by sensa
tion paragraphs in reference to the proximity
of Stonewall Jackson's force to the city. Yes
terday it was reported that the advance of
Jackson’s army was at Drainesvillc, sixteen
miles from the city, pressing to attack some
of the cuter defenses. There Is no reliable
information that Jackson was in this direc
tion. A gentleman who came under parole to
tills city represents Jackson still in the valley
with a large force. _ _ ,
Our pickets are stationed on the -Maryland
shore, watching the movements of the rebel
pickets and their reserves. The Potomac, at
certain places between Harper's Ferry and
■Williamsport, is still fordable.
The Petersburgh Express ot the 21st says:
It seems now pretty well ascertained that
Burnside has withdrawn the bulk ofhis forces
from the Potomac to the Rappahannock. We
presume that a corresponding movement has
been made by Gen. Lee. The theatre of ope
rations has again been changed, and the Fred
ericksburg route to Richmond either felguedly
or really selected by the enemy. It is hard to
say what the Utter intend to do. Gen. Lee
has been trying to get a fight out of them for
weeks, but in vain. If he makes the attempt
to get to Richmond, there will necessarily be
a battle, and a bloodier one than any that has
been fought yet. Where or when it will be
is conjecture. ~ , , T ,
The Fredericksburg Semd of November
21st Bays: ,
During the afternoon the impression pre
vailed that the enemy was embarking in the
vicinity ot Aquia Creek. On Wednesday and
Thursday the Potomac River was covered
with vessels of all sizes and kinds, mainly, of
the transport order. That these were intend
ed to offthe axmy la an opinion enter*
1151.84
toincd by many Enough of the array will
be leit over the river to keep up apps irmcea.
We shall be surprised if by Saturday n\»bt the
main bulk of Burnside's force is not well on
its way to a new destination, though this is
conjecture to a great extent. We understand
that federal prisoners captured estimate thrir
number at over one hundred thousand, but
we doubt the figures.
New York, Nov. 25.—A Fortress Monroe
letter confirms the reported reconnoia -ncs to
the Chickahominy by our cavalry. A force of
the enemy was met, of whom two were killed
and six captured. We had not a man Injured.
Henry A. Wise commands the fortifications
about Rich to ond.
The New York IVf&ane’s Aquia Creek letter
says: Oar enemy rests oa a line extending
from Stafford Court House to tae SAppabm
nock.
A strange report is la circulation, that the
real advance will not take place from Fred
ericksburg, but the movement to the Rypp i
bannock is only a feint, while the decisive
blows will be struck from another direction.
Those who appear to believe the story cmnot,
however, give it any foundation.
A special to the N. T. Times, dated “Sigel’s
Headquarters, November 24th,” says:
u Such information has been received at
these headquarters this afternoon, as leaves no
further doubt that the entire northern por
tion of Virginia has been, abandoned by the
rebel troops. There are a few of White’s
guerillssroamlngabout Leesbarg, Mt. Gilead,
Hattiesburg and vicinity. Jackson has gone
toward Richmond.
A special to the Bh-dld, dated Harper’s Fer
ry, November 24th, says:
News of interest has reached me from the
headquarters of Stonewall Jackson as late as
Saturday last. Jackson then had his headquar
ters were at Berryvllle, and was there ia per
ron. Bis force was 30,000, and the number of
his guns sixty. Gen. Echol’s division was
wish him. Ou Friday evening, Jackson re
ceived .following telegram from Jeff.
Davis;
M K you do not leave the vollej at once and
come and help us to defend Richmond, it will
not be worth your while to come to lea defense
it alt”
Jackson’s reply is notknown, but Ms forces
were not in morion Saturday morning. Tue
inference is that be replied in the negative.
This was the fourth dispatch Jackson received
from Davis, calling on Mm to come to the de
fense of Richmond.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2-i—The Washington
filar of this evening has the following:
Fairfax Station, N0t.24.— -Henry Dcwsey,
Sth United S'ates infantry, a paroled prisoner
from Richmond, reports he saw conscripts
going out with tools to work on the fortifica
tions; also saw fifteen siege guns going oat 01
the city on trucks, passing through the
streets. The people there said they were pre
pared in front and rear.
The Hampton Legion, and 2,205 iufmtry,
with four pieces of artillery, came into War
rentonbythe BperrjviHc turnpike. Ha left
Warrenton on Friday and took the road to
Salem, where he arrived at night. The Inhab
itants there expected Jackson, that night, and
they prepared food for him
He left Richmond on the 10th of this month,
and saw about 11,030 infantry between Cal
peperand the Rappahannock,and the railroad
trains full of provisions coming from Gor
donsyllle to Culpepper. He arrived in War
renton on last Thursday. They say Jackson
will march to Washington in the rear of Barn
ride. He plso spoke at Salem with Lieut.
Halleck, nephew, gs he says, to the Command
ing General. The Lieutenant belongs to
Stuart’s Cavalry, was wounded in the arm,
and was hiddeu'io Salem in Maddock’s house
when our trooops were there.
All is quiet to-day about 801 l run, Chantil

requesting Gov. Stanly to order forthwith an
election for members to Congress. Large Un
ion and free labor meetings are being held at
various points in this department, and the ad

happy effect.
BaTbe recent expedition sent out from New
bern was entire successful. The Federal

New York, Nov. 2o —News received from
Raleigh, K. C., ISfh, says: The Legislature
of the State convened yesterday, and Governor
Vance sent in his message to-day. He takes
strong grounds for a vigorous prosecution of
the war, and proposes a reserved force of
10,CC0men for the State, to be discharged in
the spring, in time for their farming opera
tions. How to raise this force, he leaves to
the Legislature.
A nrivate letter says it is rumored at Kings

olina battalion of artillery encountered a

■3lie Kebd Force at Cumberland Gap*
[From. the Louisville Journal, 24th.]
The Lexington Observer and Reporter learns
that Tennesseeans coming through the Gaps
in the nighborhood of Cumberland Gap esti
mate the rebel force there variously at from
1,000 to 10,000. From the beet information
we can get, however, wa believe the whole
force of rebels at and in the immediate vicin
ity of the Gaps to be about one brigade—say
1,200 mea. About 150 cavalry are reported
to have gone from Big Creek to Cumberland
Guu a few days since—it U supposed for the
purpose of coming into Knox county foraging
and taking prisoners. It is reported that the
rebels hung lour citizens of Whitley county
during one of their raids about a week or two
since. _ _ .
