THE NEWS.
There is nothing late from the opera
tions of Gen. Grant’s army now in fall
after the demoralized pack ofßragg’s
■whipped fugitives. Gen. Grant sends
Tvord to the Department that he has cap
tured a lot of the Vicksburg paroled rob-;
■ els, nud is in a quandary as. to. 'tho dispo
sition he .shall make of them., Gen. Bher
yuan pet a model by shooting
some of them -at Jackson. The official
Statement of our loss in the capture of
liookout Mountain and the storming of
JHsrionary Ridge is set down at.3,200.
The Army of the Potomac at latest ac
counts was all across the Hapidan and still
lidvnncing. Our cavalry have had several
ekhmishes with the rebel outposts, driving
them In and back to Orange Court House
Vhci c a battle is expected unless Lee
ghall start for Kichiaond-
Tiieixj is a wild rebel report from Char
leston na Mobile that the former pest of
treason has been burning sixty-three hours,
that Gilmore’s shells are making it worse,
*and that the remaining walls of Sumter
have fallen, burying up the rebels. Later
dates through Federal sources, however,
make the story improbable. The news is
100 good to be true.
Formidable forces of rebels are organiz
ing in Louisiana -and Mississippi to plant
batteries and impede the navigation of the
■river, and from the magnitude of these
preparations it seems likely that the Father
-ofTVkUas will not long go nnvexed to the
sea. There is work ahead for the gunboats.
A brilliant rcconnoissance in "Western
Louisiana has resulted in the capture of the
fith Texas regiment. t
Tiie news from Gen. Banks' expedition
continues cheering. Corpus Christ!, capi
tal cf Nueces county, 230 miles southwest
of Galveston, and Aifanm City and other
minor places hare been captured.
Steamboat navigation on the Mississippi
3s a tiling of fearful uncertainty. Our dis
patches contain accounts of the burning of
two Imats, one of them accompanied by
loss of life, the wnlrinp of a third, and two
more running the ganntlet of guerilla fire.
Daring the past week there have been re
ceived in this city, of live and dressed, not
less than 109,290—the largest receipts ever
known in this market in one week. Since
the Ist of October the receipts foot up 536,-
471—an increase over the receipts of the
corrwponding period in 186*3 of 165,959.
THE GALLANT 12th ILLINOIS,
9 Home again. Home with the bronze
and scars of service, with soldier memories
Ptond with unwritten volumes of thrilling
experience in camp and field, with a record
of vulor as imperishable as the annals ot
this war, with a shining list of honored
dead,' with its invalided • braves, so
came buck our gallant Twelfth
Illinois Cavaliy, on Saturday night, wel
comed home again to Chicago by thou
sands of expectant citizens, who thronged
the streets even at the midnight hour of
their arrival, and with loyal cheers escort
ed them to die more formal and material
welcome at Biyan Hall. As a whole, the
.ovation was as just to jthese noble men as
3t wusxreditable to our city.
. And by thowtry, must it not be a trying
time for a Copperhead, these occasions
when the great heart of the people gashes
with generous impulse towards our return
ing heroes. If it be thus with those who,
sword in hand, have crashed the rebellion
ty striking down anfied enemies, who
have beaten in the rebels, staying at no
barrier of prejudice or compromise; if
thus splendidly the people endorse its war
rior sons, what a reverse of scorn and con
tumely awaits the men who have done
nothing for their country in its peril, who
liavc had no word but of detraction, no
deed but of treason in the hour when the
country called for all the fruits of loyalty.
No men havebetterearned their furlough |
tbnn the noble Twelfth. Than this, no
regiment butter deserves to have the vacan
cies in Its ranks filled up promptly with
our best ColonelHasbrouck Da
vis is every inch a soldier, and bis men have
a pride in him. The Twelfth is a splendid
regiment, and its commander has pride
in it With this happy reciprocity,
all that is needed is for Illinois to fill every
vacant saddle and send these veteran troop
ers back to the army to open a fresh ac
count with the rapscallions of Jeff Davis,
and be in at the death.
|3T The charter election in New York city
conics off the first day in December—next
Tuesday.
Xo Our prisoners at Richmond.
Washington, Nov. 28.—The Sanitary’ Com
inlsoion has this day dispatched from Balti
more another large invoice of clothing and
supplies for Union prisoners in Richmond.
They have advices of the distribution of their
previous contributions by the rebel authori
ties. Additional government supplies will
be forwarded as soon as evidence is received
of the proper distribution of what has already
been furnished.
From St* Louis.
St. Louis, Nov. 29.—The steamer Silver
wave from St Louis to Nashville, with a full
cargo of Government stores, and about 100
horses, sunk, yesterday morning, about twen
ty-five miles above Cairo. It is thought she
cannot be raised.
The weather is very cold here since yester
day morning, the thermometer ranging from
10 to 15 degrees below freezing point Ice
begins to appear in the river.
From New York.
New York. Nov. 29.—From returns re
ceived at the Assistant Provost Marshal Gen
eral’s office it appears that the nnmbcr of sol
diers enlisted in this city under the new call
for volunteers during the pest week is about
800. As the recruiting business was not fair
ly in operation until Monday last, this is con
sidered a very encouraging result for the first
week.
liidions Asking for Protection.
Springfield. Mo., Nov. 38.—A delegation
of Cherokee Indians, headed by Capt Christy,
acting Chicly paid their respects to Gen. Mc-
Neil fo-day, by order of their national coun
cil. Capt Christy recounted the Bufferings
of tbe Indians from roving banditti, and asked
for protection against their depredations. He
desired authority to raise a regiment of cav
alry and adopt guerrilla warfare, as the only,
means of ridding themselves of mounted ma
rauders, and also asked that districts allotted
for bcttiement should be better protected to
enable the Indians to cultivate the soil and
eccurc more comfortable homes.
Gem McNeil replied that he bad represent
ed the condition of the Indians to the proper
authorities, and recommended some meas
ures for their improvement, and would af
ford them all protection in his power.
Increase of Xax on Spirit**.
Washington, Not. 27. —The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Ims concluded to recom
mend In hie report to the Secy, of the Treas.
n large increase in the excise tux on distilled
spirits. The present tax is considered
shsnrdlT low as compared with that levied
upon other goods, while in England it yields
2Q per cent and upwards of the gross revenue
of that country. In our own it yelds less
than 10 per ct,, and as it is deemed necessary to
increase taxation to make the law meet the
expectation of Congress, there Is no article
on which it can be better levied than on this.
Therefore the Commissioner will ask that the
tax bo Increased to 50 or CO, probably the lat
te: man.
From Nashville.
Nahhviixe, Not. 28. —Capt Cox, mate and
dtrk of the steamer Hukc, were arrested here
to-night and wm be tried by a Military Com
mission charged with crossing the rebel Cob
Hawkins and 300 of his men from the
morth to the south side of the Cumberland
River, near Fort Douclson.
tho Ohio cavalry,
wounded in the late fight, will not recover!
Ctol. Long encountered a portion of Wheeler’s
<savulry at Cleveland, yesterday, and after a
severe fight the rebels were routed. The loss
is not stated. There was a heavy ruin last
night, and the Cumberland river Is risinir
rapidly, with nine feet water on the shoals.
Bobel Slilpmcnfs,
New York,’ Nov. 28. —The British steamer
Corsica, from Nassau, was thoroughly
searched by the Custom House officers list
night, as well as all the baggage of passen
gers. Large amounts of specie, rebel money
and a rebel mull were found on the steamer

THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Washington, Not. 29,1863.
Communications between Washington and
Meade's army arc completely cut off No
telegraphic connection,* and no couriers get
through save by running the gauntlet
through a country already, swarming with
guerillas. A courier, however, got through
this afternoon, bringing details of the army's
operations down to noon of yesterday (Satur
day.) .
' These operations are all preliminary.
Meade seems to be gradually pushing the
rebel army on Gordonsrille, and it is believ
ed that if Lee means to fight at all a pitched
battle must be imminent. :
Onr army has abundance of rations, and is
animated at once by lie pursuit of a retreat
ing enemy, and by the inspiring news it
heard just before beginning its movements
from Chattanooga.
After one p. m. Friday, firing along the
whole line became very severe and lasted un
til dark. The rebels fell bade from the Rapi
dan, on Friday night, to front ns at Orange
Court House. Firing was heard all day yes
terday from onr center and left, and occas
ionally to-day.
Boats with a million rations went down the
Potomac from Alexandria, to-day. ■
The N. Y. Time* correspondent sends the
following; > .
Saturday Morning—3 - o’clock.—The ene
my have apparently fiOten back. There has
been some Bkpmishlnging,. bnt no cannona
ding this forenoon., Lient CoL ; Herron, of
the 734Penn., was* killed yesterday of the
fid corps. -
Rappahannock Station, Not. 28,1 P.M.
—The progress made by Gen. Meade is highly
encouraging, and if successful, a new base of
supplies will be established la a few days,
from •which' the army will operate with moat
damaging eflect to the Confederacy.
We ore having a heavy and disagreeable
rain.
7P, M.—The Army of the Potomac has
finally severed its line of communication with
Washington, and nothing has come through
from it since yesterday morning. ■
If there had been a general engagement yes
terday, the wounded would have been sent to
the rear and conveyed to Washington by the
raHroad. from this point.
As no wounded men have been sent here,
it Is certain that no battle has been fought
The heavy cannonading yesterday was proba
bly of no greater importance than artillery
firing frequently, which makes a great deal of
noise, hnt docs little execution. i
This morning cannonading was heard faint
er than yesterday, bnt during the day it has
been perfectly quiet • • , .
The rain ceased before dark, and probable
that the quantity which fell to-day will no f t
interfere with the movements of the army,
except for a few hoars, in emancipating it
self from Washington.
The Army of the Potomac is In position to
operate most disastrously against the reb
els. 7 .
Should it also emancipate the Union pris
oners now enduring ages of misery in a sin
gle month in Richmond, it will accomplish
one of the greatest achievements performed
by any army during the war.
OPERATIONS TO THE 28TH.
Washington, Nov. 29.—The Army of the
Potomac advanced at six o’clock on the
morning of the 27th, from near Germania,
Culpepper, and Jacob’s Ford, and formed in
line of battle, the center resting on the Fred
ericksburg turnpike, near Robertson’s tav
ern.
The left advanced along the plank road,
forming a curve towards Gordonsville;-and
the west terminating near Rapidan, south
west of Jacob's Ford. ' As the center' ad
vanced it came npon the enemy's pickets and
skirmish line. jt
Subsequently the enemy's line was strength
ened by the arrival of reinforcements from 1
Ewell's corps, on the Rapidan front About
one o'clock slow and irregular cannonading
commenced on the road leading to Orange
Court House, and considerable firing be
tween the skirmishers. The enemy did-not
reply With artillery at 4 o'clock.
It was announced that Hill's corps, which
had previously rested on the Rapidan east of
the railroad, was approaching on the center,
and half an hour later heavy musketry was
heard on the right, showing that the 3d corps
forming that wing, was engaged.
Onr casualties were few fix the center. The
only officer of rank at that time known to
be killed is Lieut. Cob Hcsscr, 72d Pennsyl
vania regiment. n -
The battle ground Is in a wilderness, with
but little open country, consequently an ac
curate description of onr position cannot be
given, but it will be perceived that
wc have the enemy's fortified position
skirting Rapidan on the right, and can
compel them to give battle if they intend to
fight on ground less unfavorable to ns. Jcft
Davis, owing to the unfavorable weather of
yesterday, did not review the rebel army as
Intended, and he is said to have returned to
Richmond on Thursday, Gen. Gregg’s
cavalry and batteries had a severe fight with
the enemy's right wing of cavalry Thursday
P. iL We drove them back upon their in
fantry lines, when wc were compelled to fall
back with loss said to be about 250 killed.
The sth corps coming up, the enemy in turn
were compelled to retreat
About CO were wounded in the Sd corps, 5
killed and 7 mortally wounded oot th» right
Gen. French, with the 3d. corps, when advan
cing, encountered Ewell’s corps before be
connected with the center; and after a severe
fight held his position, but lost heavily. He,
however, captured 900 rebels.
The Ctix corps was theuthrown forward,and
filled the gap between the center and right
A train of the sth corps advancing on the
plant road was attacked on the flank by reb
el cavalry, who destroyed fifteen or twenty
wagons and killed two men and several males.
On Friday morning It was found that the re
bels had fallen back from onr center to two
miles nearer Orange Court House, and the
above Intelligence is up to the evening of
Friday, and was brought to Washington by
a special messenger, who came-near being
captured by guerillas.
The additional information which has also
come to hand to-night through another
source states that tbe line was formed on
Friday, about noon, on the road leading to
Orange Court House.
Gen. Greggs cavalry, on the left, had a se
vere fight with the rebel cavalry, and drove
them back upon their infantry and then fell
back himself upon the sth corps, who in turn
drove the rebel infantry back and took their
position as the left wing.
Warren's 2d corps on the turnpike
drove the rebel skirmishers beyond Rob
ertson's tavern, and formed on the right
Gcxl Prince's division, consisting of the 8d
corps, met a heavy body of Ewell’s corps and
fought them several hours, until tbe remain
der of the corps came up,and later the Gth corps
The Sd, particularly Gen. Prince’s lost hea
vily, wich la estimated at 500 in killed and
wounded, and many prisoners. Bat he pun
ished the enemy severely in killed and wound
ed, and took, as Gen. French reports, 900 pri
soners.
Our forces on the center had no severe
fighting, and consequently our loss there was
small, excepting in Gen. Gregg's cavalry di
vision.
It was discovered that the enemy's centre
had fallen Their skirmishers ore In the
woods a mile or so, nearly to Orange court
house.
Heavy guns were heard there all the fore
noon, not tending to confirm the troth of the
report that the enemy used no artillery on
onr front on Friday, and we but very little,
owing to the densely wooded and nearly
level character of the ground*
It is known that there was very heavy
skirmishing on the turnpike at 9 o'clock
Stiurday morning, but no particulars have
been received.
The heavy rain, it was thought, would
hinder any offensive field operation on Satur
day.
It was reported that Kilpatrick’s cavalry di
vision, under Gen. Coster, attempted to cross
under the enemy's battery at Racoon Ford,
on Friday, but was driven back.
Washington, Not. 28.—N0 intelligence
respecting the army of the Potomac has been
received to-day at headquarters up to 2 p. m.
The Star says that yesterday morning our
cavalry pushed forward as far as Locust
Grove, where they met the advance of the
rebel cavalry, and the latter were driven
across Trussel creek or river, and forwards
across Mill Run. A body of rebel infantry
.was posted between that point and Orange
Court House, and the whole rebel force
moved off in the direction of the latterplacc.
Locust Grove is fonr miles south of Gerinauia
ford, in Orange county, within a short dis
tance of the wilderness where Hooker fought
bis battle. Mill Ran is two miles from Lo
cust Grove, and thence to Mountain River,
where tbe rebel General Early, with Ewell’s
-old corps, is said to be in force, is about six
miles. Orange Court Honse Is eight or ten
mile* further on in a southwest direction.
■ New York, Nov. 28.—The Washington
special to the New York Time* says:
E. A. Paul writes the following:
Germania Ford, Nov. 20, 13 m.—The
whole army is now crossing the Rapldan at
Culpepper, Germania- and Jacob's Fords.
There was a little skirmishing at Culpepper
Ford and Jacob's MDls Ford, the rebel pick
ets retiring as we advanced. The enemy had
erected very strong works opposite Germania
Ford, but our artillery on the left bank flank
ed them, and they were soon abandoned.
Later—Germania Ford, Not. 37, oa. m.
—The army were crossing the Rapldan all
last night. Crossings were effected with bnt
little opposition. There was no severe fight
ing—only u little skirmishing.
SECOND DISPATCH.
-Washington, Nov. 27.—We have intelli
gence from the front up to 0:30 this morning.
At that hour onr whole army, trains and all,
were across the river; and double-quicking to
meet the enemy. One. corps took the road
toward Chanccllorsville, ana another toward
Orange Court House. The men are In Jubi
lant spirits and anxious to meet the rebels.
Lee's troops have evacuated Fredericksburg
Heights, which are now occupied by our cav
alry. The opinion of the army officers is
that the rebels have intrenched themselves
between Orange Court House and Gordons
viile, and will risk a battle there.
The Ha'ald’* Washington dispatch of the
27th says; While great anxiety Is Jelt here
to learn the immediate result of the advance
of the Army of the Potomac across the Rap
idan, no donbts or fears arc entertained In re
gard to tho success of the mQTQment;
CHICAGO, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1863.
FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Washington-, Not. 29,1303.
OUR RICHMOND PRISONERS.
A foil and detailed report has been made
by a committee of onr released surgeons from
Richmond. It Is calculated to create a pro
found sensation In the country, and will pre
pare the world to have little sympathy with
the pirate crew whose craft Is nearly wrecked.
The treatment of onr brave officers and men
will live among such recorded barbarisms as
the Black Hole of Calcutta. |
TBEASDBT MATTEB3.
Indications are that the amount for which
the Treasniy’ifl to. bo,called on to carry'on
the war and sustain the several branches of
the Government, through [the ensuing fiscal
year, will be very considerably less th*n has ’
.been anticipated. . The exact figures of the
War Department estimates ora understood to
amount to $535,000,000, and of the Navy De
partment to $142,000,000. An approximate
statement for other expenses will be: -
For the Interior, Treasury and other De
partments $30,000,000.
Interest on the Public Debt $08,000,000.
Diplomatic expenses are Increased, but this
will be balanced by the decrease in the
amounts asked by the Land and Indian
Bureaus. The estimate for interest on tho
Public Debt is believed to be large. . The
debt is largely increased in the item of 5-20
Bonds, hnd decreased in certificates of ia
debetedness.. The 7-Sos fall due* during tho
fiscal year, for which these are
made, hut as yet it is undecided whether to
pay them in gold or paper, and as they are
convertible into Sixes of *Bl it is uncertain
how largo on estimate, or whether any is
needed for their redemption. The whole
amount of these 7-SOs, payable the ensuing
year, is sl39,ooo,ooo—partly duo tho 19tb of
August, 'and part tho Ist of October, 1804.
These certificates of indebtedness cannot be
given as their amount will depend on the
mufrberyet to be issued. It is estimated,
however, that they will amout toahontsl4s,-
000,000. In addition to this the’temporary
loan is due any time on sixty days notice..
This loan has been reduced by payments
within the last month from over $100,000,000
tp less than $60,000,000.
Reports from Surveyor Gen. ClarkrOf Mex
ico, fully establish the truth of the reports
of rich deposits of gold in Arizona.
THE CENSUS BUBEAU.
The Census Bureau will have three volumes
of a full report of the* United States census
for 1600, ready next week.
THE NEXT BOUSE.
The copperhead candidates for Clerk are
Edward Wendell (old contract printer under
Buchanan,) Thos. J. Florence, of Philadelphia,
and Emerson Ethridge.
GEN. BUBN3TDE.
Much solicitude is felt here for the condi
tion of Gen. Bnruside'sforces. It is believed
that when the facts arc all knows, it will bo
scen that there were satisfactory reasons for- 7
not furnishing him reinforcements.
CONVALESCENT CAMP;
Cot McKellany has returned from his com
mand of tbc convalescent camp. - Gen, Aber
crombie succeeds him.
A question whether to put glib letters on
National Banks notes is yet undecided. Ob
jections are made to tbc appliance-of such.
Its advantage is an absolute safeguard against
, counterfeiting, by photographs.
CONFISCATION.
Judge Underwood, just arrived' from Nor
folk, where he held Court three and de
creed the confiscation of fifteen rebel aristo
cratic estates, including Commodore Barron..
He opens Court in Alexandria next.Tuesday.
Thirty-five coses there are to bo disposed of
in Princess Ann»oonnty.
CAPTUnn BE A NEGBO COMPANY.
Ten miles from Norfolk a negro company
captured eight or ten guerillas, including a
rebel Major Burroughs.
THE CUSTOMS ESTIMATE.
Tbc customs estimates arc chiefly tc Befrom
seventy to seventy-five millions, enough to pay
the interest. In '62 It was between sixty-nine
and seventy milUbns. The increase ofdntles
has kept pace with the decrease of bulk, of
Importation.

(From Onr Regular Correspondent.]*
Washington, Nov. 23, 1863.
ESTIMATES FOB THE COMING FISCAL TBAB —
IMPOBTANT ITEMS.
From a hut reliable, source;.! am
enabled to giro you an approximation of the
amount of money required by Secretary
Chase to cany oh the Government for the en
suing fiscal year,, and also to announce in
creased duties on-certain articles. I will pre
mise by stating the estimates of internal rev
chhe-for the fiscalyear included between the.
80th of June, 1863 and the SOth of Jane, 1863,
were $150,000,000. These estimates have,
however, fallen short $73,000,000. The esti
mates for the fiscal year ending 1864, were
$200,000,000; tot they have fallen short over
$50,000,000. So that the estimates, for the
two years have .fallen short from $125,000,000
to $150,000,000;-
Tbc estimates for the navy are between
$100,000,000 and $140,000,000, and for tbe ar
my, $750,000,000. The balance, required for
the ordinary expenses of the Government,
will run the. total up to $1,000,000,000. So
that by the end of the new fiscal year the total
public debt.will not fall far short of $2,000,-
OCO 000.
tfhiswiUnessitate a large increase on the du
ties of sending articles of production, in order
to remit interest on the debt, cost of the Gov
ernment, &c. For instance, spirits on which
there is nowa duty of fifteen cents per gallon,
will have an increased duty of ten to twenty
cents per gallon; and ales, beer, &c., wiu
also have increased rates of duty. The Secre
tair ofthc Treasury will require for the next
fiscal year, (June 80,1864, to June 80, 1865,)
authority to raise a farther loan of from five to
eight hundred millions of dollars; some put
it as high as one thousand millions! I have
already written yon that the assessors of In
ternal revenue have bad a committee meeting
at Philadelphia, at which they agreed to have
a convention at Cleveland on 18th of Decem
ber. They hove recommended the Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue to raise the duties
on spirits, ales. «fcc,, &c. It is said that
Mr. Chose will ask for the new loan partly
in the shape of authority to sell bonds, and
partly in the shape of authority to make a
further issue of legal tender treasury notes.
Parties here, who have obtained an inkling of
the needs or the Treasurer have sent large or
ders to purchase whisky to Chicago, Milwau
kee, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and other points
in the West AH articles on which the duties
wIU he increased must necessarily advance..
It is also legitimate to presume that an ad
vance in property of aU descriptions, includ
ing prices ox goods, wares, provisions, real
estate, &c., will take place on account of the
new issue and the general increase in the vol
ume of the currency. Those who have goods
of any kind or description on hand must real
ize large profits. -
ADVANCE ON DUTIES.
Merchants may make np their minds to a
huge advance in duties of whiskey, ales,
&c. Knowing this, speculators are at work in
theWest,and large orders have been sent out.
Com must advance in view of the advance in
spirits, and the bad crop this year. Inotificd

THE EXCHANGE OP PRISONERS—TREATMENT OP
COLORED PRISONERS.
The exchange of prisoners has entirely
ceased, because the rebels refuse to accord to
ours who fall into their hands In all cases the
usages of civilized warfare. They have also
acted with perfidy in many instances, in re
lation to their men paroled by ns. One of
the principal causes of the stoppage of the
exchange however, is their treatment of col
ored prisoners of ours, whom they have used
with the barbarity of beathen times—selling
them into slavery and otherwise maltreating
them. Ibis, of course, has had Its effect in
stopping .the recruitment of - colored men, a
very important matter in the present stage
of the war. Failing In all hia .attempts to
have colored ' prisoners exchanged on fair
terms, and to have them treated as human
beings, Mr. Lincoln himself has peremptorily
ordered that no further exchanges should be made
till Hits and cVter matters icere settled on a fair
basis. The President is determined that every
man, black or white, who takes up arms for
tho flag, shall bo treated in all respects as
such. In the meantime, the rebel author
ities have allowed provisions and clothing to
go forward to our prisoners in their hands,
to be distributed by commissioners named by
us.
■Washington, Nov, 28.— There ore now at
tho Parole camp at Annapolis and Camp
Chase, Ohio, fourteen hundred paroled Union
prisoners, enlisted men, paroled since the Ist
of September last The .last declaration of
exchange by. onr Government included only
those prisoners paroled to that date. Why
our Government does not declare thcp,e men
exchanged is not known, as the rcbois have
declared all those captured by Grant to be.
exchanged. Official figures • show/ that the
rebels arc greatly in arreor ka these ex
changes.
The report that Gen. Meredith has been re
lieved as Commissioner of JLxchangc, travels
faster than the policy of tho War Department
He will be retained so lorn .-as Quid is retained.
The present determination of the Govern-;
ment is to make no m.ore exchanges nhtil.tho
mill lory status rights of our colored
troops are definitely settled.
For several days past, Capt. Schutc’s delcc-
lives have been on the track of a notorious
rebel ordnance officer named Lengstav, who
came from Richmond to Washington to col
lect rents, perhaps for renegade “Wash
ingtonians’* now in Dixie. His mission was
successful. He gathered $150,000 and was on
his way South via Baltimore, where he was
arrested by the detectives. Coh Fish, Pro
vost-Marshal of that city, sent him South via
Harper’s Ferry, with all the money on him.
There is much desire to know here why a*
rebel army officer with so large a pile is sent ■
to a destination ho desires,to reach at our -
Government’s expense.
. Washington, Nov. 28.—The condition of
the President, who has been confined to his
chamber for several days by sickness, seem
ed to he much Improved to-day, and to prom
ise an early recovery., There is nothing In
the symptoms of his ailment to excite the'
fears of his friends.
A committee of competent engineers has,
hy direction of the Secretary of the Navy,
made a thorough examination of the iron
clad Sangamon, lying at the Washington Na
vy Yard, and pronounced her in all respects
sea-worthy.

FROM CINCINNATI.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Cincinnati, Nov. 28,1863.
A dispatch was received in this city this
morning by Chief of Police James Ruffin,
stating that Gen. John H. Morgan and six
others escaped from the Colnmbns Peniten
tiary last night.
The names of the prisoners who escaped with
Morgan arc os follows: Capt. J. C. Bennett,
Capt. S. B. Taylor, Capt Ralph Sheldon,
Capt. L. H. Hines, Capt L. D.. Hokersmlth,
Capt. G. S. Magee. Colonel Dick Morgan,
and the sis captains who were confined in the
lower range of cells, had, by means of two
small knives, dug through the floors of their
cells, which Is composed of cement and nine
incher of brick work. Underneath the cells,
is an air chamber, extending the whole length -
of the building. Of this fact.-the prisoners
seem' to have been aware. Qaco in the air
chamber, one of them could crawl to its. ter
minus and dig down in the. soft earth with
his knife until the bottom of the foundation
of the wall was reached; then, digging out
under, the thing was completed. Meanwhile,
ropes had been manufactured of the bed tick
ing. and all arrangements were complete for
their final escape. Everything being in read-,
inefis by hist evening, only a little strategy
was necessary for the .escape of.Qencral.Mpr
gan. He occupied a cell on the.sccond range,
mst over the one occupied by Ids brother
Dick.
Last evening, as.tho prisoners were being
locked up for the- night the Morgans were
allowed to exchange cells with each other.
After Dick had seen everything prepared, he
permitted his brother John to take his place.
Some time during the night the prisoners
crawled through the hole they had dag under
Ihc wall, but had skillfully concealed, taking
their rope with them. They escaped from
the prison immediately between the mala
building and the female department. Once
in the yard, and their escape was com
paratively easy. They went to the southwest
corner of the enter wall, near the big gate,
and threw their rope over the top,•■where it
secured itself on one of the spikes. On this
rope, and by the aid of some timbers near at
hand, they clambered to the.top, and. easily
dcsccncd on the outside. There arc noguorda
on the outer walls after a certain hour. The
prisoners were dressed ir* citizens’ clothes and
not in prison habiliments,
Capt Hines, who Ip, a mason an 3 bricklayer,
seems to have had tharge of the work which
resulted in the escape of the prisoners.

Thereception giva * to the Twelfth on Saturday
evening,-was, from fit ■st to last, one grand bnrst of
patriotic admiration aud enthusiasm. The oppor
tunity of- welcoming, talking to, taking by the
hntidfl, and looking in the frees of the brave boys
wboso gallant deeds hav o mado every honest pulse
In the State beat with ft livelier throb,—of asking
them, “How was it ab ont that cutting through
at Harper’s Ferry V* 'ow near did you get to
Blchmond?” of looking upon tho old flags, tom
and tattered, that had been carried by the brave.
tiflwda ttat now held tbe m ,«through the smoke and
peril of a score of hard tongiht battles—all the sur
roundings of the occasion, in fret, were calculated
to arouso the liveliest emotloi uin people not ac
customed to let their feelings ;take them by storm.
And the emotion.w&s aroused. .Themingledsopnds
of music and shouts of welcomi > which announced
to distant parts of the city the at rival of the regi
ment at thc-P: Ft.-W. &C. depot, at Up. m. called'
thousands Into the streets to grec*' the heroes of
theovatlon. •Onthcirmarchtotht place of enter
tainment huzzas of applauding % ’elcome hailed
them from every door and window * from almost
every foot of curb stone.
Arrived at Bryan_HaH, the most am. pie provision
bad bean made for their accomodattoi ». Kind and
bright ayes spoke a sweeter welcome .to the tired
and hungry boys than could bo extra cted from
whole dictionaries of words, and when theywere
fairly seated at tables which groaned bea eath■ the
weight of a rich and ample repasthandredi l of nim
ble little feet • and hands were busy In at
tending to their wants,- and Ups- meltfn& * with
persuasion encouraged them to do- foil Just Ice to
the viands which tempted them.- And'theboyi vnot
permitting themselves to be seduced by any out
side distractions from what was to them the gi eat
feature of the occasion—the supper,—ate—as
intended they should—evidently with a keen and
hearty sense of enjoyment, not attainable by thm-e
whose appetites-lack thestimnloos of themamh
and thobivouack.
But we cannot-dwell on the-details of tho occa
sion. Everything pertaining, to tho entertainment
passed off without the least daw to mar the general
Joy that pervaded an hearts and shone from all
eyes. Little reunions that were constantly occur
ring; now between two old friends, anon between
some brother and his expectant sister, or again
between those whose relations had evidently been
more than fraternal, were calculated to trouble
little fountains of sympathy in many who, perhaps,
had supposed that tender emotions-were long
since dead within them.-
After the eupper came ■ speeches; first of John
Wentworth, who was compelled to open hia voice
by an Irrepressible call- for “Long John," that
would not taken denial.
Ho mafic a few characteristic remarks and then
called for Colonel Davis, who expressed the thnntra
of the soldiers to the ladies who bad entertained
them in some eloquent words, and thrilled the
crowd with the announcement that the twelfth had
with a few exceptions enlisted as a regiment for
another three years, and-only asked that they
might be assisted to organize and leave for the
field of service as soon as possible- •
Adjutant General Fuller .■who -tallowed Colonel
that he had been sent to Chlcaga to* ex*
press the thanks of the State to the Twelfth for
its gallantry and bravery. .They were an honor to
the State, and It was fitting that the State should
honor them. In hia lost Interview with CoL Da
vie, before he left for the field of service, he knew
as well as he now knew, that the Twelfth would
never disgrace the State. He alluded in eloquent
terms to some passages in the history or the
“Twelfth,** and spoke of Its once having been in
the power of the regiment, as has since been as
certained, when within five miles of .Richmond, to
capture Jeff.Davis,andhls whole Cabinet. In con
clusion, he said, “Colonel Davis, I like yoorstyle”
The exercises closed with cheers for the regiment,
the colonel, the ladles, and -finally with patriotic
songs, in which as many of the audience as could
bear their own voices joined with a will.

The regiment was organized at Comp Douglas,
io this city, under orders bearing.date September,
It ßl, but its formation was not really commenced .
till, about the beginning of December, Just two years.
ago. It remained there till the following March, at
which time the-rbster contained tho names of near-,
ly five hundred one-half, or perhaps twer
thirds of whoiu wcre recruited m, If not from, Chi-,
cago. __
fii 1862, the regiment moved to Campßnt
ler st Springfield, and was formerly organized
there, frlefc that station about Jane 26th TorMar
tinsbnnr.Virginiav remaining there till Qen.. tee’s
first raid Into Maryland, when the place was evac
uated under Gem. Julios White after severalacrere
skirmishes. The regiment then went to Harper’s
Ferry and remained there till the night before tho
surrender, when it cut its way out through the ranks
of the rebels. On tho succeeding mendng it cn
countered Longstreet’s ammunition train on the
Hagerstown road and captured the largest portion,
taking It to Greencastle, Pennsylvania. It then
returned to Join Gen. McClellm'a army, and
reached during the last day’*-battle at Antic
tarn It was then stationed at Williamsport for
some months, after which it moved to Dumfries
Station, Virginia, where, nndw Lieut. CoU Davis,
a successful stand was made against the attack of
the Confederate Gen. Smart, whoso force was
obliged to retreat, tho regiment sustaining bat
little loss. The Army of the Potomac was then on
the Rappahannock, and the position at Dumfries,
was on the extreme left wing; the cavalry was on
the look-out for Stuart's raid, defending the tear
and protecting communication with the base of
the base of the army movement. The regiment then,
went into winter quarters at Bone Plaines,
where it remained till the time of Stone*
man’s raid. Then, under the lead of Lieut..
Col. Davis, K undertook an independent
excursion, and stands credited with havhH* ■
done the best service of any detachment on that j
mission. It Is not necessary to go into details of ;
this matter, with which the public is already so a- :
miliar; Uis sufficient to say that the regiment went
nearer to Richmond than any other body of our
troops, and bivoacked In their advanced poet dur- ■
ini? one night. After that achievement it was sent |
toTHouccster, opposite Yorktown, to join the com- ;
nacd of General King, where U remateed awhile,
tho Lieutenant Colonel making his well remember
ed visit to Chicago to look after the recruiting of a
third battalion, which had just been authorized.
During bis absence that portion of the
which was fit to march was ordered to join the m n
anny;abouttwo hundred dismounted men were
eft behind at Gloucester.
pp ben Col, Davis returned to Washington jj C re
ccivtdordere to bring them forward, the rejri!
pen’, was pnee pore united. When- he reached (u
NUSIBERI42.
place, he coaid find no horse?, Vat receiving jicr- -
mission from Ocn. Dix to go into the enemy’s i
coofitrv in quest of animals on which to monnt bis- 1
men, he made a most snccessfhl raid. Soon after
this an expedition was sent to Sonth Anna to de
stroy the bridge there, and rebel’ property in gen
eral ; this was under the command of Col. Spear of
the 11th Pennsylvania cavalry. Col. Davis was as
signed to the command of a battalion of Massa
chusetts cavalry together with his own, and co-op
eratcd with Col. Shear in the raid. They succeeded
!n destroying the bridges and in capturings great
.many horses with a number of prisoners; promi
nent among whom were Gen. Vra. Fitz Hugh Lee,
Captains Sawyer and Flynn: several other officers
of rank were captured. The regiment was es
pecially complimented by Gens. King and Dix. for
its conduct oaring that raid. Tho regiment then
Joined Meade's army, being assigned to Buford’s
command. .
Tho regiment was at Gettysburg and shared in
tho honors of that contest. Since that time it has
been separated Into two parts, till the order cam£ to
return to Illinois for reorganization. Detachments
have been In every caralry fight that has bceir
fought. One detachment was with Gen. Kilpat
rick, and shared In seventeen engagements in the •
space of three or four days, while Aleado wa? press- *
!ng Lee across tho river, after the battle of Gettys
burg, they performed feats; too, at Brandy Station,
at Aldle, and Mlddleborough,
It is upon this record that the regiment is sent
home to ne filled up, standing, as it does, with one
of the very highest character of anyone corps in
the service, when filled it will probably be attach
ed to the army <# Grant, or It may see service in
Texan fields. The headquarters of tho regiment
have been at Washington for Unco weeks past,
while the different detachments have been gather
edin.
Thegrcatfr portion of tho monwiUbc accommo
dated at tho Armory till their farldngh papers can
bo made out, the others will go to - Camp Douglas.
Thirty days will be allowed for rest and recupera
tion, and In tho course of that time tho officers hope
to be able to raise the strength of the regiment to
tho foil complement of 1,200 men. Tho foil boun
ties will be paid to those wishing to Join this
much honored regiment. The regiment having re
enllated for three years or daring the war, every
man wDI receive tho $lO3 bounty pald’to veteran
soldiers.
Their horses and accoutrements have been
turned over to the Government Quartermaster,and
