THE MONEY 2TIAKKET. The price of gold in New York, paper Ijfing the standard, is, though alarming,no evidence that the creditor the Government is ruined, nor that Trcasmy notes are not worth within a small traction of their face, in. coin. The"commercial appreciation of gold, or, to speak more correctly, the de predation in the price— not the mine—of Government paper, is the result, first, of nnsatisfactoiy military operations; and, secondly, of the constant tendency of the New York stock-market to discount what ever militates against the Government credit. In this case, the defeat at Yides iring, the disaster at Galveston, and a cer tain doubt of the ability of Bosecrans to pursue bis advantages or hold his position, are the items of a military character that arc in full operation; but their effect is probably slight wteji compared with the anticipations of effects of the pas sage of the bill authorizing the issue of three hundred millions more of legal ten der notes, and eight hundred millions of small 'bonds, to which the Committee of ‘Ways and Means in - the House seem to be committed. Ri gbtfully foreseeing that the meeviT':s v.hlch have the Committee’s ap probation iye full i f peril, not only to the rational credit, bra W'the progress of our arms, and jhflt u hood, such as they ask to ■ be pcrmitled*tc pour over the land, would ?uiiDicrge all- In iv, ary and all real prosper ity, th£ banke rs and uipitalists of the com- metropolis are only. In the exaggerated price that they are putting upon ' the precious metals, U.-tify ing, in the most convincing manner, tbeir opinion of the Committee's action. They are discounting the danger. With this jtnt as a warning to the legislators who do not and will not see the effect of the plan to which the committee has given its assent, Congress ought to bo content, and forthwith fall back upon some expedient, the bare talking of which will not throw the country into a panic. If the law makers are wise, they will, as the veryfirst step in what is before them, dear the chan nels of trade of near two hundred millions of bank notes, by a stringent tax; nnd then, if nothing better can be devised, ac cept Hr. Chase’s plan. That, though open to weighty objections, is so infinitely prefera ble to the scheme of the Committee, that, wc do not see how any loyal and intelli gent man can hesitate between the two. The country probably has not long to wait for the business of the panic-makers to be destroyed by facts that all can under stand. As soon as the returns, under the Internal Revenue Law, begin to go for ward, or as soon, at least, as intelligent fi nanciers can see that the income from all that that law taxes, will surpass all expec tations. and that, from that source alone, a considerable noctsM* .of the current expen ses of the war may be paid, alter discharg ing the interest on the accumulated debt, there will .be no doubt of the solvency of the Republic, if the national liabilities can be kept within the largest sum that alarmists have marked down as the probable cost of the war. We do not pretend to say what the law will yield; bat from our knowledge of the operation of a far less comprehensive act in England, and from the peculiarities of the business done in our country, wc have no hesitation in saying that those who have been most confidcnt-of a large revenue from that source will be surprised to know how much the lads exceed their anticipa tions. *Wc are willing to hazard the prediction, that, if blundering legislators can be per suaded not to ruin their country by their mistaken measures, until such time as the Revenue Law has been a year in opera tion, they could not then ruin it if they would. KICKED AGAIN. The Copperheads of the North display toward the institutions under which they were reared, toward the States that have protected and honored them, and toward their neighbors and former friends, :i spirit in which bitterness, hate, malignity and all the other forms of diabolism strive far the xnastciy; but as soon as their faces are turned toward the rebels, no bom slaves living in daily dread of the kick or lash, could equal them in mean, systematic and abject abasement Hound dogs called bads from the pursuit of their prey, and scourged by the hand of master, are examples of nobility, compared with these men who are crawling in the dost at the feet of the lords of the plantation and the lash, and begging, like the subjects of the Persian monarchy, the honor of having their necks trod upon by their sovereign lord and master. It Is probable that thrift follows their fawning; but it it comforting to know that the decencies of civilization arc not yet, among their other crimes, so outraged by the rebels, that tiny dare give the world to understand that the servility, the trea son and the intense meanness displayed by the sympathisers of the North, are repaid in any other .way tlian by the conteznp and scorn that they deserve. Our readers have teen made familiar with the plan of compromise and peace which owes its origin to the muddy brains and doubtful honesty of Booby Brooks of New York—the plan that made New Jer sey the pivotal point of a new attempt to -restore the Union by the old method— giving slavery and secession all they have ever demanded, and guarantys that they may hereafter have all that their effrontery or necessities can ask.' The plan was worthy of its author, who is the dirtiest specimen of humanity in North America. But such as it was, it has. gone South, and there, from the organ of the rebel domina tion has elicited a reply that we print here with, and that we commend to the suppli ants who arc invoking the nigger-drivers, the man-sellers and women-whippers to hold still while they testily their affection for them by an embrace of brotherly love and the holy kiss of peace. Spumed again—kicked, cuffed, spit upon —hooted but of doors! When, we-ask, will these degenerate sons of the North see the humiliation of the position in which they choose to stand before their country men and the world? When will they leant that personal honor, national safety and the preservation of the institutions under whidi they and their children are free, have no other word for them than that which commands the war to go on until a pcaceis conquered, and the now insolent and defiant enemy is beaten down* THE NINETEENTH ILLINOIS, “Who will, save the left?” said Gen. Kegley, at Murfreesboro, when his eye saw that a superhuman effort must be made to roll back the advancing rebel tide. “The Nineteenth Illinois!” replied CoL Scott “The Nineteenth it is, then, —Forward!” It was a fearful charge. Raising the shout that Toncmjf had taught them, poising their muskets, and striking into that 'Tope” thctlhey have practised so long, away they went in the face of that fearful fire. Across a rapid stream waist deep, up a pre cipitous bank, the lop of which bristled with rebel bayonets, over difficult ground, up to the very muzzles of the enemy’s guns, careless of the shot and shell that plunged through their ranks, regardless of the musketry that rained lead upon them, unmindful of the brave men who fell in the bloody track they made. The enemy Wondered, hesitated, faltered, fled. The Nineteenth had won! The left was saved 1 Heroically done, Nineteenth—you are vindicated at last Pursued by secesh hate and West Point malice; stigmatised as thieves and ruffians; your Colonel dis missed from the army in spite of his ser vices that were invaluable—at onse the ob ject and the victim of secesh peijury and Unicmtimidity; your regiment put under ban, broken up into squads and officially disgraced; your officers hooted at as the coadjutors of plunderers—you-have your Brigadier General John B. Turchln, (Irvan B. Turcbin!nofl).the man to whom the Nineteenth owes the effectiveness that makes such charges, and with such re sults—the man whom eveiy soldier of that regiment remembers with affectionate ad miration that has its parallel nowhere else in the army—the man to whom brave CoL Scott and his subordinate offleersowe what they know of war—is at his home in Hyde Park near this city, a General in the ‘army, drawing a General’s pay, but doing noth ing. Overslaughed by Buell, he is suf fered to remain inactive while ignorance and pretension are promoted. One would think that such a soldier could be illy spared from the service of his country. The Nineteenth has proved his worth, and there is not a man in the regiment to-day who would not gladly lay its hard earned and blood-stained laurels at his feet. upnnASKiXG. The country, owes the Copperheads at Springfield and Indianapolis something for unmasking —for showing the malignity of the treason by which they arc animated, and the depth of the lihtrcd that they bear their country in the hour of its danger. At the moment when it was feared that Rosecrans’ campaign was ended by a do* feat at Murfreesboro, when the disaster at Vicksburg was suspected, and when the influence of both these supposed events had depressed the popular courage and shaken the popular belief in the final success of our arms, these men, sure of a rebel triumph, and hence of their own as cendancy, of the ignominious close of the war, of the powerlessness of the Govern ment, of the destruction of the Republic and of new combinations of its fragments .on man-selling as a basis, set up a howl of exultation that, though premature and causeless, told every citizen of Illinois Where their sympathies are, and -what 'the loyal men have to expect, should the malig nants realize what they then thought they foresaw. In this, at any rate, they did valuable service; and whatever pretences of patriotism and obedience they may hereafter make, the people will remember the absolute fiendishness of their shouts and the bloodthirstiness of their threats when they supposed that a victory over the Union men was in their grasp. Fore warned is forearmed- Men of Illinois, you see what the Copperheads intend! CAPTAIN S. a BENHASI. Capt. Spencer H. Benham, Commissary of Subsistence in the Army of the Southwest, where by his industry and capacity he has rendered invaluable service, left this city last evening for the command to which he is attached. Cant. Benham is a Mn«minn and a most intimate personal and political friend of the late Senator Douglas. To him the Senator’s plans, personal and political, were always unfolded, and he it was who dosed that great man's eyes when he died. It will, then, be gratifying to the Senator’s friends, to whom he intrusted a great legacy of loyalty, to know that Capt. Benham has not departed a hair’s breadth from the doc trine that Mr. Douglas announced in his lost speeches; that he is a war man who docs not think of peace until the rebels arc conquered, and the integrity of the Union is restored. In his campaigns he has seen Secession in all its phases, and if he hated it when he set out, he has had that hatred increased tenfold by a near and a better view of the monster against which he has fought. May the gallant Captain come safely home, is the wish of a host of friends. THE ABUT? OF THE MISSISSIPPI, Sherman, defeated, brings hack his shat tered columns to Memphis; Grant, an noyed by guerillas and all the while in dan ger of losing communication with his rear, laboring against a chronic impossibility of getting supplies over that poor apology of a railroad along which he advanced, Jias retired upon La Grange. The line of pur Southern advance in that Department is the Mississippi and Charleston railroad, and on that, between the Mississippi and the Tennessee, we shall probably rest until the army is reorganized and refitted fonhe field. These movements leave room for fear that Hosccrans, out of reaching dis tance of his late supporters on Ms right, may be enveloped in dangers that he cannot overcome. . The enemy lately before Grant, and the force wMch repulsed Sherman, by now consolidating and making common cause with Bragg who is not inaccessible to them, may cause Rosccrans to take the back track, if they do not defeat Mm in the field. There is danger in the situation. A WOBD FOB INDIANA. The loyal members of the Indiana Leg idature will need no apologists, if, to pre vent the mischief that the Copperheads threaten, they see fit to retire in a body from the capital and leave the malignants there powerless and alone. They have more than one precedent in the history of their opponents for such a step; and when it is necessary for them to take it, we are sure they will not hesitate. The men who are threatening revolution in the North, and in Indiana the assassination of the Governor, deserve no consideration at our friends hands. TVJiy Uvulcr was Removed. A special dispatch to the N. T. Times states that President Lincoln, with that frankness whlclTis one of the best features of his char acter, docs not deny to his friends that the re call of Gen. Butler was an error. Not only is there so charge on file against him which could he made the basis of any such action, but cadi day develops more clearly the fact that his administration of matters in the De partment of the Gulf has been pre-eminently a success In every respect. The interviews of Gen. Butler with the. President after his return were curious. That Gen. Butler had been treated unfairly, was undeniable by IhePresldcnt; but to repair the wrong was a problem difficult of solution. The General, without any departure from courtesy, spoke his sentiments with groat frankness, and an act ofjusticc, to be rc-asslgncd to his old command. The final answer i o this request has not yet been given, and it is not at all unlikely that itTmaybe granted, Gen. Banks in this ease being pro vided for in Texas. The history of the change is also carious. It originated in the Irish of Gen. Banks him* self to head an expedition to’ Texas; and his request to this effect was willingly granted by the President, who desired to consult his ■wishes. How this expedition of some 10,000 men grew into one 0f40,000, and carried with It the command of the entire Department of the Golf, Is not known In detail; but it is be lieved in official circles here to have been due to the skillful prestidigitation of a prominent member of the Cabinet, (Seward,) who had the whole matter arranged before its conse quences became apparent to the Presidential mind. The animus of the affair it is not best to expose. (Seward hates Sutler for some reason.) , It is certain that the President fully appre ciates the great capacity of Gen. Butler, and desires to do what will make his services most useful to the country, and at the some time to repair the wrong-done him. - Impobtaj>t Bill. —The members of the House Military Committee have authorized Hr.

Tlie Transports tor tbo Banks Expo* dStlon—lnvestigation I>y tUc Senate Committee^A Ship Broker —The BottenNlagara—Bow she cam o to be Chartered—The Illinois and TTllchisan Canal Bill—Railroad Pro jects In Congress. [From Our Own Correspondent] Washington, Jan, 10,1853. The facts in regard to the chartering of transports for the Banka expedition, recently investigated by a select committee of the Sen ate, arc substantially as follows: Secretary Stanton sent for Cornelias Vanderbilt of New York and requested him to procure, in great haste, the requisite number of steam and sail ing vessels (28 of each) for the transportation of Gen. Bonks 1 troops and stores. The ves sels were to be chartered for three months 1 service, if rcqnired for so long a period. Mr. Vanderbilt agreed to undertake the business, without fee or reward, and, so far as appears, he discharged Ids trust with the most patriotic zeal and upright intentions. Returning to New York he encountered a Mr. Southard, of the firm of Southard, Wright «fc Hussey, who appeared to have several sailing vessels of the right description, and moreover seemed to know all about the business which was re ! qulrcd to be done, inasmuch as he had trans ported horses and supplies for the British Government in times past with great success. Mr. Southard is a sharp, plausible, energetic Maine Yankee, who knows the. shipping busi ness from alpha to omega. Mr. Vanderbilt had found a jewel. To him he communicated his business, and, putting it on patriotic grounds, he told him tin? iT9rh must bo donQ absolutely fre-c 6f commission or other charge i to the government. This met the vicwS'-of the guileless Southard, who inveighed with much severity against those who could see nothing in the hour of our country's trouble but the opportunity to scrape together a few blood-stained dollars. He would give his time, bis experience, his energies, solely to the business, without compensation. A price was then fixed' Tor sailing vessels—three dol lars and a half per registered ton per month —which is half a-dollar less than the usual charter rate of the government -for similar results. Commodore Van Brunt, of the nary, had been detailed to inspect the vessels. Mr. Southard took hold of hl> work with great e-plrit,and very soon had his twenty six sailing vessels ready. They wore an excel lent lot, passing inspection without difficulty. The charter papers were signed, and Mr. Van derbilt congratulated himself that one-half of Ids job had been done In the most expeditious manner, and without charge to the govern ment He bad got an expedition off with out the usual sequel of exorbitant commis sions, fraud and peculation. It turns ontthut Mr. Southard had a son, who went around on I tiptoe, in advance of the old gentleman, and ! Informed the ship owners that they must pay him (Southard, Jr.,) Jilt• per cent, on every charter. Aud so they did—-the profits to the Southard family, on the expedition, amount ing to $15,0001 Mr. Vanderbilt does not know to this day tliat onccent of commissions was charged or received by anvbodv. The Southard transaction was sharp, but it appears that the government got what it bar gained for, namely, good vessels. Commo dore Van Brunt's inspection guaranteed that. It remains to notice the steamers of the expe dition, and particularly the Niagara,'which put into Delaware breakwater under protest before she had been out twentv-four hours The Niagara was owned by one Andrew Jack son Richardson, of>*ew York. She was built on Lake Ontario in 1844 and ran there several years. She was brought aronnffta NewTork aud has been laid up for some timeas unfit fur any kind of service. At the time she was ta ken for the Banks'expedition she was abso lutely unfit to go outside of the Narrows for any purpose, light or loaded. A New York shipping merchant or broker named Word, who haaa son in the expedition, muting that the Niagara was under charter, and that his son was to go in her, made a most determined effort to stop her sailing. He told his son that the first heavy sea that struck her would carry* her to the bottom. He protested, stormed and went, but all to no purpose. Perhaps if Mr. ward had had one one more day to work in he might have prevented her Failing, but she was gone before he could bring the proper evidence of her nnfeawortbmcss before the proper persons. When she got out to sea she filled' with water, and'sbe began to lurch fearful- Iv. Seme of the officers onboard knocked off tbc casings of ber main timber, and found them so rolton that they could take out hand fuls of the decayed wood and crush them as one would make a snowball They went im mediately to the "captain, and told him that the st earner would not hold together twenty four hours, aud demanded that he should put into the nearest harbor. This he refused to do. They then told him they should compel him to do so. Yielding to this "pressure,” he told them to reduce their desires to writ ing, In the form of a protest, which they did, and he then put inside Delaware breakwater. When the inspector of hulls at Philadelphia east eyes o& her, he forbade her leaving the port on any pretence whatever. He would not even allow her to return light to New York, declaring that it was criminal to expose the lives of her crew for an instant outside the Capes. * How did it happen that such an abominable old trough was token to transport a regiment of loyal troops from New York to New Or leans? Who is to blame? I would not un dertake to say. iThe facts must speak for themselves. Commodore Van Brunt refused io inspect tbe steamers, because he didn't know anything about steamers.' He was at home on uny description of sailing cruft, bnt steamboat inspection was a profession by it self and he would liavc nothing to do with It. Accordingly Mr. Vanderbilt had recourse to the inspection of the Board of Underwriters, wherehe found the Niagara recorded all right, having been duly examined lust July by Mr. Charles H. Haswcll, the Inspector of the Board. Tlds Mr. Haswcll was formerly an en gineer in the navy, and was dismissed the ser vice for deserting his ship at Gibraltar, some years ago. Mr, Richardson, who owns the remains of the Niagara, is a person of clerical appearance, severe, straight, and possessing the sir of one who knows that ho has treas ures laid up In heaven. It appears that Mr. Vanderbilt, astute as he is.wasas much taken In by the religious unction of Richardson, as he had been by the patriotic fervor of South ard. Mr. Richardson told him that the Niagara hid run so many years on Lake Ontario, remarking that was. th® place to : tcet the qualities ofa steamboat—“ Which was very true. He pointed to the Inspection of ! the Board of underwriters for her present condition. This seemed to ho conclusive in Mr. Vanderbilt's mind. The register of the Board is the guide of New York merchants, and he (Vanderbilt,) if he had wanted fifty steamers for his own use, wonldhavc selected them all by tbc Underwriters 1 inspection, and asked no further questions. 8o he took the Niagara without looking at her. Haswcll, the inspector, has a variety of excuses for the criminal carelessness of his Inspection, bnt of course nothing can palliate or justify his con duct H a vessel is rotten, it rotten, and there is nothing more to be said. Tbc inspec tion is made to determine the fact, and to pro tect life and property. The wood and iron are turned over to tbe inspector for the pur pose of determining whether they are fit to to to sea. If they are not fit to go to sea, and e says they are, he is morally responsible for the consequences. But Haswcll was not in the employment of the government. He is only responsible to those whom he serves. ‘ TUB ILLINOIS AND iTICHIGAN CANAL BILL. Doubtless the vote will have been taken in the House on the Canal bill before this letter reaches Chicago. If the bill is defeated it will be because forty other schemes for the expenditure of money have been brought on the carpet, each claiming as good a right to favorable consideration as this. The Military Committee of the House have reported in favor of four railroads—one from Washing ton to New York, one from Washington to Hagerstown, via Point of Bodes, and two others equally useless and unjustifiable, the friends of which insist that they shall go through by the same vote as thoCanallbul, The tendency of these measures Is to create alarm among members, and to kill them all. The Canal bill in on its'own merits would go through, notwithstanding Hr. P, A. Conk ling of New York has mime a report from the Naval Committee against it. Hr. Conkling’s constituents ought to feel grateful to him. He represents one of the New York City dis tricts, and be probably knows that the en largement of thcHlinois and New York canals is the only project which will avail to keep New York in advance of New Orleans In pop ulation and wealth.

Arrival of Members and Office Seekers at the Capital—Tlie New Senate and Assembly Chambers—The 'West Wlnir .oflho Capitol—Ac., Ac* [Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.] Mapi&ox, Wis., Jen. 13,1862. A large port of the members of the Legisla ture and hosts of outsiders have arrived and button-holing and private confabs are the or der of the day. Governor Salomon’s message is mostly in the hands of the printers. It is somewhat lengthy, but hardly equal in that respect to the message of Governor Yates. The new Assembly Chamber in the west wing of the capitol and the room in the east wing, .occupied for the last four winters as the Assembly. Chamber—now repaired and re arranged for the Senate—were lighted up last evening, and thrown open to the public. They were visited by a huge number of members, citizens and ladies, and .their general appear ance- and arrangement much admired. The style and manner of their famishing reflects much credit on the Superintendent of Public Property, Mr. Sawyer, formerly of Chicago, and his assistant, Mr. Benedict The Senate Chamber being in the form of a semicircle, the seat of the presiding officer has been re moved from Its old jdace on the center of the outer edge 6f the circle to the middle ofits chord, where the principal entrance used to be, and the seats of the members arranged to The room hss been re-carpeted and the walls repainted and it makes a splen did. Senate Chamber. Across the rotunda of the old • building an elevated passage way has been constructed directly from'thc floor of-thc Senate -to the new Assembly Chamber. This room is la the form of an ellipse, with the Speaker’s desk—modeled after the plan of the wing as to shspe—between the doors on the chord which bisects the ellipse., The seats of the members are also arranged in a .semi-el lipse, vith a few E£ats, within the lines thus made, directly facing the Speaker. There is a spadone gallery running round the room, supported by heavy brackets, from which pil lars spring to the celling. .There is a hand some cornice and centre pieces. The room is lighted at night by burners at the sides and a magnificent chandelier pendent from the-top of an elegantly ornamented dome. The room is handsomely carpeted. New desks have not been needed. Opening from the lobby of the chamber arc convenient rooms for the Speaker and Chief Clerk, and for the Sergcant-at-Arms and postofflee, while committee rooms open from the gallery. . The first floor of the cast wing Is occupied by the offices of the Governor and Secretary of State, wjiik* the commodious rooms of the west wing arc occupied by the Supreme Court and State Library, and tbo State Treas urer, the school land office, and that of the Superintendent of Public Properly being in the basement. Thc officc of the Superintend ent of Public Instruction Is to be moved into the old Senate Chamber. The Bank Comp trollers office will probably still • have to re* main outside the capitol. There has seldom been a cheaper contract made, or a job of public work better done than the west wing of the capitol just com pleted. It has cost only $85,000, being some $35,000 less than the coat of the cast wing, while it is thirteen feet longer, and the floor of the new assembly chamberhas UOyards more space than the old one. There is also more and better work done than on the east wing.. •Many anticipated a failure on the part of the contractors to execute the job at the price bid, but they have completed it in a manner entirely satisfactory t# the commissioners, and arc satisfied with what they liavc made. The contractors, Messrs. Moxiey and Harvey, deserve great credit for the fidelity and excel lent manner in which they hare done their work. Some $15,000 arc irftfroiu the appropria tion for the cast wing, and $35,000 added to that will suffice to construct one of the trans verse wings of the central building. The outer appearance of the capitol as it now stands, is not very symmetrical. No orders for the three regiments remaining in the State arc yet received, nor any reports of our casualties at Murfreesboro.

[From Our Own Reporter.] Nashville, Jan. 11,1863— 11 a. m. I arrived here night before hut, at 8 o’clock, after a two days' hard ride from Louisville. The party with which I came numbered some sixty, the majority of whom were Ohioans— surgeons aud nurses—going down nuder the charge of Surgeon General Smith of that State. A Philadelphia Christian association was also represented. At Muldraugh’s Hill occurred the ilrst break in our railway travel, and we were compelled to foot It from there toNolin, the point to which the cars came from Nashville—a distance of twenty miles. A few of the party were so fortunate os to secure conveyances, for which, in moat cases, the moderate sum of ten dollars per passen ger had to be paid. Getting to Nashville was bad enough, but now that I am In it, I am in more trouble than ever. I find myself befogged and con fused by the vast crowd of dead, wounded and living soldiers with which the city is filled. The wounded are in every hospital, and every building of good size is a hospital. ■ They arc in the boarding-houses and in the hotels; they arc "everywhere. The dead are in nil quarters. Every undertaker's shop Is crowded -wltl* cuQhie, |>Uea UCF upon tier. The living crowd the streets, the hotels, the public resorts, and every man's tale is altout the battle. Each man has some story of his regiment or his company. He saw just so much of the terrible straggle, and for him it was and is all the history or the fight. He who. from out the thousand stories that lloat about, attempts to chronicle an ac curate account of the affair from first to last, must take days at the task, and work with the pcrecvercncc of a beaver. 1 sliall not attempt the job. Other correspondents have doubtless croibls written extended details, and the readers of the Tribune have read how upon Stone Biver, in Tennessee, their sons, their brothers, their fathers, their husbands, their friends, struggled in unequal fight with a de termined enemy, and how after days of vary ing fortune—one time defeat, another success —they finally achieved a most splendid vic tory. The rebels were badly whipped, they were slaughtered by thousands, and thousands of them arc in our bands as prisoners of war. But this victory was purchased at a fearful cost. I put our total loss at 7,500, and upon good authority the statement was made. But since then the remnants of regiment upon reg iment have found their way to the cltr, and fn nearly every case more than half the*number that went into battle can never return, and I am led to the belief that my figures ought to have been doubled. When men talk of the loss in battle, with out the actual returns of company and regi mental officers upon which to base estimates, they talk of that which is about as problem atical as the future. When I get to the front, which will be on to-morrow, I shall visit every Northwestern regiment upon the ground, and if the thing be possible I shall quickly have on accurate list of the dead, wounded and missing in each regiment. AH day yesterday I tried to get such lists In ‘this city, but with the ex ception of that of the glorious old 10th, I could not procure them. In company with Messrs.; Maple and Moody, of the Sanitary Commission, I visited a great many of the Illinois wounded, and I saw at different times during the day scores of men who had parti cipated in the battle, from each of whom I got some news of this or that regiment, some story of a noble soul's heroism, some tale of a desperate charge, a sad repulse or a glori ous success, but from none could I get that which 1 most desired—lists of the dead, wounded and missing. And now, I shall go directly to headquarters, where I have hopes the sought-for information can be obtained. I cannot soy that this regiment or that regi ment did best, for they all did well—they could have done no better. Where the 19th, the 22d, the 51st, the 88th, the 30tb, the 73d, the 27tb, the 42<1, fought, the ground Is soaked in the blood of the sous of Illinois, and there is hardly a spot upon which some brave man has not given bis last sigh for hss country. I cannot say which of those regiments did best. Their praise la everybody's talk. They are covered all up in glory. But there were other Illinois troops iu the fight, for whom history has bright pages in store, but I am writing hurriedly and with little information at com mand, and cannot tell the whole story in one letter. During yesterday’s ramble, I heard num berless incidents of tho fight, accounts of escapes and deaths and wounds and charges and repulses and successes that would fill a volume. I saw Lieut. Trumbull D. Griffin of the Board of Trade Battery, Capt. VanTasscll of the S4th, Col. Scott, Gen, E. N. Kirk, and many, many others'; ■ Col. Scott is a Chicago boy, and I must be permitted to particularize." liis deeds on the' battle-field, however, have given bis name to the world. The and Sstb Illinois regi ments are proud, of their, deeds of noble daring. On Friday evening, at a time when the reb els were making the most terrific assaults upon our left, there came a moment when Gen. Negley’s practiced eye saw disaster, if quick and effecnial support were not given* He rode to the front and asked what regi ment would save the left Col. Scott said 44 the Nineteenth, sir!” 44 The Nineteenth, then, it is. Make the charge, Colonel,” ana away went the Nineteenth, their heroic lead er, sword in hand, in tho advance. Over the stream, into the Atortn of bullets, he&riug their heads to the leaden rain, against bayo net and club and canister and shell, they went, and the column of advancing rebels quailed, hesitated and fled before them. It was a terrific charge, and many a noble fellow of the 19th bought Its glory with his life; but the tide was turned, the enemy scattered, tho day’s battle won. It was in this charge, while valiantly leading the way, that CoL Scott got his wound. These bayonet charges are the events of battle that try men’s nerves, and our Illinois •troops seem to have established claims to more than an ordinary amount of the electro nerve principle. On Thursday, the 88th and 86th, Major Mil ler commanding, made a charge that sent scores of terrified rebels to death andfllght, and did much toward winning the day’s vic tory. They were drown up in line of.battle behind a fence, and in front, over an open 'field, came a column of yelling rebels, three regiments deep. -The boys or the SBth, with loaded guns, lay close to the ground until the enemy got to within forty yards, when they rose, took deliberate aim, and poured a volley Into them that knocked them over like ten pins. The rebels rallied, however, and again advanced. Our boys had as quickly reloaded, and os their enemy came close up, another volley sent scores tumbling to the ground. A charge was ordered, bayonets were fixed, and at the rebel devils went the 88th and 86th, with a shout and a rush that quickly cleared tire field. Here was one of the hottest con tested fights of Thursday, the rebels making desperate efforts to dispossess us of this field. And they finally succeeded, but not till hun dreds of their men had perished, and an over whelming force rushed to the work. The SBth were the last to withdraw, and then they came on order and in good order. Major Cbandlcroutdld himself De mode a reputation. He bad two horses shot under . him. One shot went through and through the horse, cutting each tail of the Majors coat, hanging each side the poor animal. The boys tell a good one on the Major just here, winch, as his reputation at home is perfectly safe, will,perhaps do to put In print. They say that as the horse sank down, the Major sprang to his feet with the exclamation, “Give ’em h—l, boys, Pm not dead yet” I have obtained the names of * few of tho killed and wounded of this regiment: Killed —Lieut. Gulick, Co. C; Orderly Scrgt. Lyford, Co. I. TVoundcd—Capt. Geo. w. Smith, Co. A: Lieut. McDonald, Go. K; Lieut. Chester, Co. G; Orderly Sergt. Griffen, Co. C; Corp. Palmer, Co. E; D. G. Watts, Co.

Condition ol Affairs llicre-AU the Government Property Safe. [From the St Louis Republican, istb.] "We held conversation last night with an in telligent gentleman, who left Springfield, Mi ssouri, last Saturday evening, after the excite ment of the raid of the rebels was over, and who traveled hither by the way of Sedaliaand tic Pacific road. From him we learn, that the rebel army, numbering about 0,000, under the command of Marmudnkc, Burbridgc, Shelby, McCook and McDonald, arrived in the nighborhood of Springfield, nnd secreted themselves in the bushes about :J o'clock of Thursday. The pickets were driven into Springfield before this hour, and Geo. Brown prepared at once to receive them. AH the available force was at once put in requisition—the militia were summoned—the convalescent?, occupying the hospitals, from iowo, Illinois, and other were called out and answered to the call—and by these means Gen. Brown wasable to gather around him about 2,500 men. The bailie commenced null a, m., the rebels hav ing three pieces of artillery, and a rapid can nonading was kept up between tbc two ar mies, the_Fcderal troops having two pieces of artillery. A determined attempt to capture the‘‘Citizen's Fort” by the rebels, was suc cesfully resisted; and brass piece, brought forward by Gca. Brown, was managed with excellent effect. The contest over this piece was very severe, and the artillerists suffered severely. In the effort to take It, Major Bowman, of the rebel army, formerly in the United States army, was kiUcd by the captain in command of the gun. Shortly after Gen. Brown received an ex ceedingly severe wound, and was incapaci tated from further service, and was succeeded by Col Crabb, who repelled, the attack of the. rebels a first and second time, and this termi nated the battle at Springfield. The Federal loss in killed, and those who died soon after word, was thirty, nnd about fifty wounded. Ou the side of the rebels, there were forty killed and thirty wounded, besides those who were carried off the field as they fell. The rebels, it is proper to say, had not been with Hindman for mouths past.' They were not in the battle of Prairie Grove, but made this raid from Pocahontas, and were, no doubt, In-search of provisions. In this they were wholly disappointed. All the Government stores, of every kind, were at once transferred by Gen. Brown to Fort No. 1, and were pro tected by the troops. Gen. Brown's wound Is a severe, and It Is feared fatal one. An Enfield ball struck him in the fleshy part of the arm just below the shoulder, and shattered the bone very much, causing very great , loss of blood- The sur geons In charge at once determined upon an excision of the bone, and a large portion of the fleshy port of the arm was taken with it, making it difficult for a connexion to be form ed again, and the worst results were appre hended. Geu. Herron, (our Informant learned,) at the head of 5,000 cavalry, reached Springfield on Monday evening, and at once pushed off his force in the direction of White River,with the intention of intercepting the rebel force in their retreat to Arkansas. He was confi dent of being able to accomplish this ob'e^t: .Meanwhile, he learned that Gen. FltzHenry Warren, at the head of 8,500 troops—he had been posted at Houston, in Texas county—had encountered the rebels under Marmaduke, 8,000 strong, on the road to Rolla, and was forced back to Lebanon, In 'Laclede county. But this repulse, we donbt not, was only tem porary. Marmaduke will havecnoughto do to make his way to Arkansas, without penetra ting further into Missouri. A small party of guerillas wore met within six miles of Sedalia, but they only inquired the news from Springfield, and the party passed on. * * * SENATORIAL CAUCUS. Resolutions Signed by Twenty-*lx Republican Senators Sent to the President. The following Is the paper drawn by Senator Colhraer, and presented to the President on the 18th of December last, by the committee of nine, of which he was chairman. It is proper to say that the injunction of secrecy has been removed. • ' ■ A meeting of the Republican members of the Senate oi the United States, at which they were all present but two, after full consulta tion, came unanimously to the following con- present not voting: 1. The only coarse of sustaining this Gov ernment, and restoring and preserving the na tional existence, and perpetuatingthc national ; integrity, is bya vigorous and successful pros ecution of the war—thesame being a patriotic and just war on the part of this nation, pro duced by, and rendered necessary to suppress, a causeless and atrocious rebellion. 2d. The theory of our government, and tho early and uniform practical construction thereof, is that the President should be aided by a Cabinet Council agreeing with htm in pa litlcal principles and general policy, and that all important public measures and appoint ments should be the result of their combined wisdom, and deliberation. This most, obvi ously necessary condition of things, without which no Administration can succeed, wc and the public believe does not exist, and. there fore, such' selection and changes in its mem bers should be • made as will secure to the country unity of purpose and action in all material and essential respects, more especial ly in the present crisis of public affairs. Sd. The Cabinet should bo cxclvsivelo com posed of statesmen who arc the cordial, reso lute, unwavering supporters of the principles and purposes first above stated. . 4th. It Is unwise and unsafe to commit tho direction, conduct or execution of any impor tant military operation, or separate general command or enterprise in this war, to any one who Is not a cordial believer and supporter of the same principles and purposes ’ first above stated. The Republican Senators of- the United* States, entertaining the most unqualified con fidence in the patriotism and Integrity of the President,' identified, as they are, with the suc cess of his administration, profoundly im pressed with the critical condition of national afiairs, and deeply convinced that the public confidence requires a practical regard to the above propositions and principles, feel it their duty, from the positions they occupy, respect fiflly to prescut them for Executive consider ation and action. ■ General Rosecrana has* established his headquarters in Murfreesboro, in house In,which the guerilla chief Morgan v,*as recently mamed by Bishop Gen.

[From the Richmond Examiner, 6th.] We have to perform an unwelcome task this morning, and to chill theglow of triumph which the intelligence hitherto, received from Murfreesboro has imparted to every patriotic heart. A reverse, the causes and extent un known, has been suffered army under Gen. Bragg. Tbe statements of its victorious career during the two days of the engagement already recounted, arc not contradicted. Rat, "since then, the force and position of thepar tics have been entirely changed. On the first day, Bragg drove the enemy from all parts of the field except one, and took 4,000 prisoners, whom we stiU have. On the second day he carried the remaining position. Bat the enemy were not routed, and did not retire Cir. Rosccrans assembled all his reinforcements and reserves, and, with their help, has taken Murfreesboro aud forced Bragg to retreat. Whether the .latter General fought a third battle before filling back, is not yet clearly ascertained. It is, however, moat lamentably certain that the enemy has carried his point, and retains all the advantages. except the loss of prisoners and arms result ing from the battle of Murfreesboro; and now he can succor Grant, clear out the cavalry, and perhaps resume operations on the Mississippi. It must he confessed, that a good deal of for titude is required to support so painful a dis appointment with equanimity. Certainly, after such official statements as those General Bragg has made, on th»* lost day of the past yearand the beginning of thepresent, this se quel could not ue rationally anticipated. It is true that wc may not have yet heard the end of it. Behind General Bragg is General Johnston. Although he can nothopc to con centrate our troops from distant points with the same case and rapidity as tbe enemy, who have the rivers at their command, yet he have reinforcements, too, still to appear on the scene. Perhaps, then, the tale is not told; aud perhaps there may he another act in the drama of Murfreesboro, on which the curtain has not risen.- So far, the news has come in , what may be called the classical style of the Southwest. When the Southwestern army fights a battle, we first bear that it has gained ouc of the most stupendous victories on rec ord ; that regiments from Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, &c., have exhibited an irresistible aud superhuman power, unknown in history this side of Sparta and Route. As for the Generals, they usually got all their clothes shot off, and replaced them with asuifc of glory. The enemy is, of course, simply an nihilated. Next day more dispatches come, still very good, but not quite so good as the first. The telegrams of the third day are in variably such ns to make a mist, a muddle, and a fog of the .whole nffidr. Bnt we are still assured that our troops are victorious; and only alter several days more does the unpleas ant truth leak ont, that they are not quite victorious, hut have, in fact, lost a little ground, after gaining some very brilliant suc cesses. So far as we know .anytldng about the battle of Murfreesboro, it Is the parallel and repetition of Shiloh. Even the number of prisoners are giveiWhc same ciphers. But we have not yet ceased to hope for something to break the melancholy monotony, ana therefore dismiss this unpleasant theme for the present, with as little reluctance as the reader may imagine. GEN. LEX’S ADDRESS TO TUB REBEL ARiTT. Headquarters Army op Northern Va., ) Decemberai, 1662. f General Order No. 38.—1. The General commanding takes this occasion to express to the officers nnd soldiers of the army his high appreciation of the fortitude, valor and devo tion displayed by them, which, -binder the blessing of Almighty God, have added the victory of Fredericksburg to the long list of their triumphs. An arduous march,'performed with celerity under many disadvantages, exhibited the dis cipline and spirit of the troops and their eager ness to confront the foe. The immense army of the enemy completed its preparations fur the attack without inter ruption, and gave battle in its own time, and on ground of its own selection. It was encountered by less than 20,000 of this brave army, and its columns, crushed and broken, hurled back at every point with such fearful slaughter that escape from entire de struction became tbc boast of those who hod advanced in full confidence of victory. That this great result was achieved with a loss small in point of numbers, only aug ments the admiration with which the com manding General regards the prowess of the troops, and increases his gratitude to TTim who has given ns the victory. The war Is not yet ended- The enemy is still numerous and strong, and the country demands of the army a renewal of its heroic efforts in her behalf. Nobly bos It responded to her call in the past, and she will never ap peal in vain to Its courage and patriotism. The signal manifestations of Divine mercy that have distinguished the eventful and glo rious campaign of the year just closing, give assurance of nope that, under the guidance of the same Almighty hand, the coming year will be no Icsrfraitful of events that will in sure the safety, pcaCc and happiness of onr beloved country, and add new lustre to the already imperishable name of tbc army of Northern Virginia. B. £. Lee, General. THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS—THE OROANOP THE SOUTHERN CO.VPEDERCT ON THE SUBJECT. [From theßichmond Enquirer, Jan. 6.] In our issue of Saturday we gave some ac count of the meeting lately held In New York, at which resolutions were adopted calling upon New Jersey to Invite aCnnvcntion of nU the Yankee States, to meet at Louisville, in February next. According to this hopeful -scheme 41 the States In rebellion” were to be Invited to send delegates to represent them in this savory conclave, and in case they yielded to the proposition, an armistice of six months by sea and land, was to be proclaimed. We are told that the resolutions were. 44 unani mously” passed, and that Mr. Brooks,the ora tor of the occasion, was enthusiastically ap plauded. From tho above it plain enough that the valor of our soldiers and the skill of our Gen erals arc beginning to tell. Richmond, Ma nassas, Sbarpsburg and Fedcricksburg have almost wrought their lesson. Tho tide is be ginning to turn at the North In favor of peace. The glorious victories at Murfreesboro and Vicksburg, which have occurred since this meeting was held, will doubtless give a fresh impulse to the sentiment of which it is a man* ifestation. But while the North begins to see the folly and impossibility of attempting to conquer the South, they are not yet ready to grant our just demands. They hope still to chain us, by some specious compromise, to the corpse of the old Union, or, at least, to gain some advantage in determining boundary and commercial relations. It would be a fine thing for them, truly, to have the South agree to meet them in a convention which should recognize the Union as unbro ken, and look to its perpetuation. On this head? however, they may as well know the truth. On no terms whatever will the South consent to a political association with them. There is no concession which they can grant, or which human imagination can frame, which could render the idea aught but intolerable and revolting to the Southern mind. We separated from them because they sought to -put on us a brand of social anti political inferior! ty. ■ We would not reauite.with them If mey would,. One and all consent to occupy the same position Of deg radation which they aim to rivet on us. W® would not consent to hold the Northern States .even as provinces, On this subject there is hardly a ripple upon the surface of Southern sentiment. This was the feeling and the purpose, fixed antSfrcnalterable, of the South at a time when all was gloomand disas ter—when Roanoke, Donelson and New Or leans had surrendered to -the foe—and it seemed as if Providence had decreed to test to the utmost the fortitude of our people. But now, when Heaven has vouchsafed to us so many crowning victories, when the indepen dence of the South is an accomplished fact, and liberty fairly won the suggestion that the reward of all the sacrifices and sufferings of pur people is to be basely discarded for a con nection with Yankees, is not endurable, even os a jest. . • Wbcnthe North wants„peace, she can ob tain It by recognizing the independence of the Southern States, ana yielding the terms which Justice demands. Her proper mode to secure thi?result, go desirable to her, would beat once to withdraw her armies from Southern soil and send her Commissioners to this Capi tal. Not even to bring about an honorable peace can the South - make the slightest ad vance to the North. That was wisely and ■humanely done by the Confederate Govern ment before the war; any. step in this direction, however trivial, will bo sure to be misinterpreted by our enemies, and would only tend to prolong the i -It would be beneath the dignity :of the Con ! federate Government to take any notice of the I New York meeting, until the sentiment of which it is un indication shall ripen into a : sincere desire for peace, and come clothed with the authority of the United States, or some of the Northern States, acting Inde gendently, to make proposals on a basis of outhern independence as a fact accomplished. All propositions which Ignore cither oar es tablished independence or the only channels of foreign intercourse appointed by the Con federate constitution, can only meet with silent contempt. To pay Jany Tattention to them would at once lead the North to sup pose that we were so eager-for peace as to be ready to submit to-any terms. Their hopes and mad dreams of subjugation would at once revive. In the path of peace Itls not to be disguised that Lincoln and his Cabinet form a natural obstacle. Pacification is ruin and disgrace forever to them. They must oppose ft by virtue of their position. In view of this im pediment, perhaps the shortest road to peace would be for the State of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, ora portion of them, io act on their own account, to recall their quotas of troops from the. fields, drive the rump government which now lords it over thezn'to the conge nial soil of New England; and.then make their own separate treaty or treaties of peace with the South. It •is obvious ; that In the States just mentioned, the Lincoln govern ment Is viewed bv a large majority as a vile tyranny, and they .may soon come to think its destruction Is demanded by their highest interests..' Those States will be .blind to every motive of profit and advantage if they do not adopt this policy.. This is their only mode to escape the burden of a gigantic debt fastened- on their shoulders by New England fanaticism and cupidity; and as New England ban'reaped the profits of the war, they, may. conclude to turn over to her the burden of •payment. • v • • - tlaving thus cleared away the rubbish,. they, may proceed to found a government which will give them some promise of stability, or der, conservatism and peace with the South •ern Confederacy as well as the' rest of the world. It Isuotat all impossible that this war may finally end by tbe separate action of these Northern States repudiating Lincoln and NowFnglantltogether. They mast soon feel that the old Union is gone forever, their Constitution rendered a bye-word and a mock ery by their own rnlers, and in this temper of mind it Is every way reasonable that they should look out for their own safety and not stand upon niceties in dcdHng with tho guilty agents who, to carry ont selfish ends, have involved them in a ruinous war. The thing would he easily accomplished by two or three States acting together. If Illinois and Indiana tired of selling corn at ten cents per bushel, should form a separate treaty with the Con federate Government, ills evident that Lin coln has not the power to coerce them, and the war would at once break down. They are “masters of the situation” did they but know it. _ The Two Springfields. [From tho St. Louis Democrat. 13th.} TVe yesterday announced the occupation of both of these places by the rebels. We have now the agreeable opportunity to correct our statement with regard to tho Springfield of Missouri. The enemy was here repulsed. Wc arc, however, compelled to admit that we have no such good news to announce from the other Springfield—that ofDlmols. Our advices from that point indicate that the enemy U still there in full possession, and carrying on his [operations with a high hand. Death of Rev. Lyman Beecher. . Key. Lyman Bcccher, father of the Beecher, died at his residence in Brooklyn, N. T., on Saturday evening aged eighty-seven • years. Dr, Beecher, so long- famous among American preachers, was bom Oct. 13,1775, in New Haven. His father was a blacksmith, and a notable man of his day; hhpiothcrdicd a few days after his birth, and ti&was a puny child, not expected to live. He grew up, however, on a farm, was sent to college, where he distinguished himself, loss by his scholarship than by vigorous powers of argu ment; was graduated la 1797, licensed to preach the next year, and-installed in 1799 pastor at East Hampton, Long Island, with a salaraiy of S3OO per annum. In 1810 he removed to Litchfield, Conn.; in 1620 he removed to Boston; in 1833 he re moved to Cincinnati to take the Presidency of Lane Theological Seminary, and fill at the same time the pulpit of the Second Presbyte rian Church of that city. In 1853 he returned to Boston, and afterwards removed to Brook lyn. He was three times married, and was the father of thirteen children. Of hU first wife, Roxana Foote—the mother of Catharine, Ed ward, Mrs. Stowe, Charles and Henry Ward— a woman of extraordinary mind*and equally extraordinary acquirements, the Doctor used to make this remark: “ She was the only per son I ever met whom I felt to bo fully ray equal in an argument.” They were in tho habit of reasoning together over the tea table, on the prominent questions of theology and philosophy. Safe Kobbekt. —The store'of Selah A. Whitney, at Taylor’s Falls, Minn., was broken open on New Tear’s nightondthesmnofs6,ooo abstracted therefrom, of which $2,000 was in gold, S6OO in Treasury demand notes, $3,500 in legal tender United States Treasury notes, and'the rest in currency. The robbers left on tbe floor of the store a New York draft for $1,500, but abstracted some flue dress goods, probably as ablind. They blew open the safe with powder, and seem to be old hands at the business. Mr. Whitney had this money saved up to meet his indebtedness here and else where. His indebtedness in this city amounts to some $2,G00, audit is hoped those who hold claims' against him, will not trouble Mm in his extremity. All the citizens of Taylor’s Falls feel great sympathy for him._ He has offered $1,200 reward for the recovery of the money, etc. A Persistent Tort.— The Philadelphia JSuUetin says that Charles Ingersoil, who was a guest at Fort Lafayette, by the urgent re quest of the government, at a mectiogof lead ing Democrats of that city on Thursday, Mr. Charles Ingorsoll, in the course of some re marks, “stated that if he were a member of the State House of Representatives, where the Democrats have a majority, he would vote against supplies for the government, and he recommends that the Democrats in the House pursue that course.” Moee Expeditions^—A New York corres pondent of the Boston Journal states that “ a new expedition is on hand from this port. Secrecy and dispatch are now the watchwords. Boston and Maine steamboat men are here, and arc as active and bnsy as bees before swarming time.' Capt.
