TUESDAY, DECEMBEE 29, 1603.
TBS DEABT XN ILLINOIS.
Because bo much is said of the arrears of
Cook comity, other comities of the State
seem in danger of believing that It all rests
with this county, and that they are them
selves released from exertions. TTo have
attempted to make prominent -correction
of this error heretofore, and desire to re
peat it, that there are not twenty counties
in Illinois that arc not in arrears of men.
-Among those that are the most bo in North
ern Illinois, are
Boreas. • DoKalb, ■ Bocklslaud.
•Carroll, Jo Daviess, Stephenson.
And other neighboring comities not
named arc nearly as much behind. The
-sth of January is near at hand, at which
time all bounties cease, and the draft must
take place. Let there be so hanging back
now. Let all our comities foil at work
with a will, and especially do all that can
be done to further the enrollment of col
ored troops, in the Illinois colored regi
ment. Let no day pass without the accom
plishing of a huge diminution in the num
ber of men called for. ‘With extra diligence
exercised, the entire quota may be filled.
TBE NEWS.
Col. Fry hab ordered the S3OO bounty for
the 17tL Illinois cavalry, of Gen. Farns
worth's new brigade, thus putting them on
the best basis, and furnishing a guarantee
that the ranks will soon be filled.
Slow work is being made in bringing in
recruits in this city. Let it be understood
that only a few more days remain, and
then conics the inevitable draft, and the
cessation of all bounties. In thie connec
tion we will state for the Infonnation of
those who are getting recruits under the
sl6 and $25 premium arrangement, that,
in order to secure the premium, all re
cruits must be enlisted at the recruiting of
fice of Provost Marshal James, at the City
Armory,
The exchange of prisoners does not yet
proceed smoothly. The rebels, poor in
everything else, arc still rich in impudent
assurance, and insist on all their demands
being complied with, involving a surren
der of all the Government claims in be
half of its black soldiers, and all the ad
vantage it possesses by excess of prisoners
in our bands. There can be but one way
to meet this matter, and that is with firm
ness and dignity, and meanwhile push on
the war.
“Twenty-throe blockade runners just in
atWamington.” There is a hint for the
octogenarian Gideon to act upon. Let
there be built, forthwith, six more iron
clads, each six hundred feet long, square
ends, and one hundred feet beam, each to
cost seventeen million doUars. We ebnij
stop these blockade runners by and by;
bound to doit, bat we must slop the
■mouths of the hungry “iron jobbers” first,
Do one thing at.a time. We have not yet
had an addition to our navy of vessels of
great speed and power, sacrificing much to
the first, and yet retaining enough to be
effective. Secretary Welles seems In favor
of chasing foxes withFicmish draft horses,
and so be fiiils to catch them.
There will.be a .meeting of colored men
at Warner’s Hall this evening, to "urge
greater zeal in recruiting for the Illinois
colored regiment Let there be a full
attendance.
“ All quiet on the Potomac,” and the
unnies arc apparently in winter quarters,
with no prospect of active operations on
any large scale for some time to come.
The Union tokens are on the increase in
Die South. Thus we hare from North
Carolina and Arkansas and West Tennes
see proofs of a growing loyalty, .whereof
there will be found nobettcrinccntive than
the brutal cruelties that are arMmg fresh
repulsive features to the great <wimn of the
rebellion. .
The weather was a roaring braggart yes
terday, and anew, blew, thac, and rained,
each by turns and nothing long, evidently
with the primal intention of getting up
a snow &U, but not achieving even
enough to whitewash the mud. Elsewhere
away from the lake there must have been
snow. Here we had nothing bat a day
mixed and miserable.
AN SBZPOBTANT MOVEMENT.
For some time post, we bave been cogni
zant of tbc fact that the rebels have been
concentrating a large force in the vicinity
ofJackson; Tenn., for the purpose ofa sud
den assault upon some of the river towns,
and that our own troops in the meantime
have not been idle. We bave refrained
from publishing anything concerning itfor
evident reasons. Bat now that the matter
has nearly culminated and some of the
facts have already been published inpapers
printed within our military districts,
theic can be no barm in alluding
to it. The available rebel force,
number's probably about 20,000, although
set by seme as high os 25,000, and is com
mai.ded by Forrest, Roddy and Chalmers,
and has been secretly and rapidly gathered
from various points along the Mississippi,
ns low down even ns Vicksburg and
Jackson, Miss. The force is concentrated
:il or near Jackson, Term., and is threat
ening an attack or series of attacks prob
ably upon Memphis, Union City, Colum
bus and possibly Paducah, with
a view of plunder, diversion of our
armies and suspension of river naviga
tion. Secretly as these moves have been
made, liowcver, they have not escaped the
vigilant eyes of our commanders in Ken
tucky and Tennessee, and a movement is
i. heady inaugurated and rapidly culmina
t ing which willnot alone thwart the designs
of the rebels, but unless almost miraculous
ly foiled result in the capture of the entire
force. The blow will be struck ere long,
and when it docs come there will be thun
der in North-western Tennessee.
An Engineer Smothered to Death Im a
Snow Bank*
(From the Rarise Journal-]
On the morning after the furious snow
storm of Wednesday night last, the P*sscn
•jer train of the Racine and Mississippi Ball
road going west, was preceded by a locomo
tive, which, with a snow plaw attached,
cleared the track of the huge banks of snow
that bod drifted across it during the night
previous. While running across Elkhom
■prairie, the engine came in contact with a :
*now bank, apparently of greater density
than ouv it bad hitherto encountered and
■which, In order to overcome, It was necessa
ry to clinrge upon with the engine at its
greatest speed. To acquire the necessary ver
locitv the locomotive backed a mile or so
from*tbc bank which impeded Us furtherpro
grees, and putting on full steam, ad
vanced at the rate of forty or fifty
miles an hour full upon 'it. As the
locomotive neared the scene of the
biicw haul:, the engineer, Mr. Samuel D. Pal

In that part of the engine known as the
“cab,” where he could seethe effect of the
collision; and, as tbc plunge Into the snow
vas rnndc, he, in some Inexplicable manner,
was drawn through the window, and buried
lo ti c depth of seven or eight* feet in its ac

in- nof the locomotive, did not miss him
from his post for u brief moment, and when
he did. the alarm was given, and search was

[Special Dispatch to tho Chicago Tribune,!
From Memphis I have the following in re
gard to affairs in the interior of West Ten
nessee:
Forrest is still conscripting the Inhabitants.
Many of these, however, refuse to take np
arms, and the consequence is, Forrest’s guard
house at Jackson is filled with men who have
been taken from their fiunilics. It is report
ed that the number of Union men now held
as prisoners there is 177. Many good Union
men, to escape Forrest’s conscription, have
taken to tho tfoods and are hiding in caves,
not daring to show their faces at home. There
is a feeling of most intense hatred between
the rebels and those who have affiliated with
the Union forces. The Union men arc hunt
ed diligently, and, if caught, subjected to
most brutal . treatment. Forrest designs
making fi raid into Western Ecntncky, for
the purpose of conscripting men and stealing
horses.
The guerillas under Murray and Payne
who were lately operating in the vicinity of
Balcigh and Union depot, gathered np their
traps and moved north to unite with Forrest.
Cob Ferguson is with Forrest at Jackson.
Richardson has not yet assumed command of
his Department He is doubtless keeping
out of Thomas’ way somewhere in Dime.
A large majority of the people arc heartily
tired of their presence, and most devoutly
wish for the expulsion of guerillas.
We have been under an embargo of heavy
wets during the past few days, and telegraph
ing has been among the impossibilities.
There is a slight let up now, however, and I
send yon the latest .news.
Dates from New Orleans of the 19th have
arrived, but the news is unimportant. Pa
pers of the 25th from Memphis con
tain nothing of interest except the proceed
ings of the Union meeting held at Little
Rock, at which Mr. Gaunt presented a
preamble and resolutions locking to
ward united action on the part of the
Union men of that State for bringing Arkan*
back into the Union with a new constitution
slavery left out.
Gen. Smith’s corps left Union City Tues
day last, and the General and staff followed
next day.
The artillery and pioneer train has also de
parted, They go first to Union City.
Capt, Frank Moore, of the 2d DL cavalry.
Is in command of the cavalry advance. The
entire cavalry of the force Is In command of
CoL Waring. Infantry and artillery under
Col. Mills, as I stated, would be a few days
since.
The creeks are much swollen by recent
rains, Tbc expedition will have to go by a
round-about way to reach Jackson. We
shall hear from the expedition soon, but the
rebels will probably get the first news in a
form they will be sure to remember.
Gen. Halleck having annulled so much of
Gen. Hnrlbnt’s order No. 57 as included the
IGth army corps now in Ky,, conscripts of
Columbus return to their homes, subject to
enrollment by the U. S. Provost Marshal.

complimentary order:

about which our Government has been con
tending, and their laws In regard to officers
and soldiers in negro regiments are recog
nized. They also refuse to receive a flag of
truce from General Butler, or negotiate with
him on the subject of an exchange, because
of Jeff, Davis’ proclamation outlawing Gene
ral Butler last year.

EXGHANOE OF PRISONERS.
Washington, Dee. 27.— TheRicbmond En
quirer of the 17th inst. says our Government
has abandoned every point, excepting the
treatment of negro prisoners. Now the sim
ple truth is, our Government has not aban
doned any point. It is known that Maj. Gen.
Sutler, who has superseded Gen. Meredith,
has no such instructions. The prisoners at
Forts Norfolk and McHenry and Point Look
out have been placed under his orders, and
lie Is authorized to conduct the exchanging
man for man and officer for olHccr of equal
rank with those paroled and sent forward by
himself The object is to make an even ex
change, os far as the prisoners In the rebel
possession will admit; and, governed by hu
mane motives, the effort will be made first to
procure the release of those who have for the
longest time been held us prisoners.
Colored troops and their officers, In con
ducting the exchange, will be placed on an
equality with all other troops, and so of col
ored men in civil enjoyment
This is one of the points hereafter to be
adjusted. The honor and dignity of the Gov
ernment, in the protection of snch negro
persons and their officers, will uot he eomptv
tnitfd, ,
The recent visit of Gen. Hitchcock to Fort
resa Monroe was to confer with -Gen. Butler

questions for further determination, the ex
cess being largely in our favor.

Cincinnati Market-Dec. 2S»
[Special DHpatsh to the Chicago Tribune.]
PnovisiONS—ln the absence of sales, or Indeed any
demand worthy of note, prices must be regarded to a
great extent nominal. Mess Fork 1s held at 319.500

Green hams in good demand-sales of 2,200 pieces at
9Kc. No reliable quotations can bo given for balk
meats. Hogs we have to] Brcport as flat

raging SCO s, could not have been sold at over 15.73,
end live at over $7.00; and yet, for those averaging
2Soto2iotts 87.20 was offered and 87.75 was asked.
3Ve find It difficult to give uniform quotations. How
ever, the receipts were about ZfiOO, but all those re
ceived eicce last Thursday were on the market, so
that there mas be 15,000 to 20,000 In the pens. The sales

Hocukstto, (N. Y.)—One of Mr. Lillie's Mammoth
Bask sales, purchased by T. H. Rochester. Kw„
President of the Rochester City Bank, of Mr. LUlic
himself, with a written sratementof lU buntlar-pn.of
qualities was forced open hr an ordinary mechanic
lo about twenty minutes. In tho presence of the bank
officers.
New Hatejt, (ConnectJcnt.V-Ono of Lillie's Safba
was tasted at the request of Mr. Sadler. Agent for
Lillie, lo the i rescues of a number ol respectable
citizen:--, in the office of Samuel S. Cummings, and
was drilled through with a cast
steel drill, without sharpening, in twenty mimics,
thv drlllbelng worked by band.
Oleatt. (Now York.)—At the banking boose of
Srowcll, Chamberlain A Co., by agreement, a stun of
money was placed in one of Lime'S Patent ChU:ed
Iron Fire aud Burglar-proof Safes, represented to be
proof against sledges, drills and chisels, containing
all tho latest Improvements, ttie money to be the
property of the person ondertsklsg to open it, he
placing In it the amount of tie original price of the
Safe, to be the property of Stowell, Chamberlain A
Co.. If the Safe was not broken open and the money
taken In one honr. In thirty seven minutes tho Safe
wesbrokea openand the money taken by the ope
rator.
Wtmsßjutitx, (Penn.)The Burglar-proof Safe of
Lillie's make, la the banking house of w. G. Sterling,
was Mtfwn open with powder, introduced through *
hole drilled through the chilled iron, and robbed of a
lanre amount of money. In speaking of this. Mr.
Sadleraaya.la hlaartlole of tho IBih, after sdmliUa*
the facts above stated, that it was the first successful
(iniiingofLiille’sChllledlroa Safes. A reference to
the few cases which have come to oar knowledge, as
contained In the statements above, will show how
much his word can he relied upon,
Stell Axotiieb.—While writing this, a letter ftom
a respectable merchant In YardJeyville has been
banded me. by which I learn that one ofLQue'sßur
fdar-preof Safes, belonging to John Tardier, coaland
amber merchant, ef that place, has Just been blows
open with pewder. The poweer was introduced
through a bole drilled through the chilled Iron with
a quarter Inch drill. The Iron was about one a half
Inches thick, and both hinges were broken off by the
shock.
So much forthe thoroughly burglar-proof qualities
of Lillie’s Chilled Iron Safes 'settled-not by assertion,
but by stubborn tacts.
Now for the Flrc-proof: la this connection we
would ear that there have been fewfi res In Philadel
phia or Its vicinity in which these Safe* have been
tested, bnt wc will refer to a few instances that have
come to our knowledge In other place*, and the no
tice of a certificate of a Safe in the store of McManus
& Ci oft, published by Mr. Sadler.
Uaxwuiaz., (Mo.)— Messrs. Hawes A Armstrong pur
chased one ofLillle’s Safes,guarantee • Arc ana dut
glar-proof. There store wag burned and the entire
contents of the Safe was utterly destroyed. Mr. Lillie
offered to reduce the Safa with another'of higher
price, hut tb ey cecllned, as the trial they had had sat
isfied th* in.
Sr. Joints, (Michigan.)— One of LHlle’s Safe>,owned
. by Jr hn Hicks, was situated In a frame building which
was burned down. In about three hours the whole
contents of the Safe were destroyed.
Paiiisvux*. (Ohio.)-Two story brick store of J.
S.Mathewswas destroyed by fire, and the contents
of ose of Lillie’s Safes entirely consumed.
Cap* JUt.-LJUlb’s Safe fa the Moant: Vorcoa
Hotel was, with Its contents, destroyed by the fire.
Cbtstai. Palace.—Lillie's Safe.made for the rest,
seven inches thick, was tested in the fire,'and the
whole contents destroyed.
Dajtvtllx.—ln one of Lillie's Safes a small quan
tity of money, intentionally loft in the Safe to test it,
was melted.
JT*or.-One of Lillie's Safes, in the store of Messrs*
w arucr.'wta destroyed by tho fire. The content* hwk
been forrnaateiy removed,
we might pubiisb a large number of certificates ai>
Bare»i hot we think the above
arc sufficient. After saying a wont as to the Safe that
S reserved the books In Second-street, In store of Me--
[anus * Croft, wc stall cease. Tbo>nUdla'-wjui*
small frame building, and the door ob whteu t ue Safe
stood still remains, scarcely scorched, so tlr*wtbe
ps pen would have been safe if placed In a sheet-Iron •
air-tight stove.
Now. to bring this matter to a practical twt#re
make the following offer:
We will place one of our Safes, which we sold la
IBM. for two hundred dollars, to Edward GaskiH,
bookbinder. and which we now have on band, tnvtag
replaced It by a large one. In a suitable furnace, with
one of Lillie's Safes, to be selected by blm oat of any
fold for that price in Philadelphia within seven years?
and subject them to the action of a fire made on; or
oak.ntae or hickory wood, until the contents of thi .5
Shan nedestruved; the party.tha contents of wi-**o
Eafeis destroyed to nayall expenses,and thwo’bsr
party to have both Safes the tire to be made »nd
trial condncted In the presence of a committee of five,
two to be cbosen by each and tbs tilth by the other
four. We will bo still farther. Mr. Sadler sold la
Jure, ISCO, to Wearer, Filler ft Co., a Safe of the 9 *s®
size, warranted to stand any fire that could occur la
tbeir building, which would be one of tbe bottesc
that could be made, their business being ship chan
dlery. Now we will allow him to place that Safe
ngalrst onrs. which Is only about half the size, and
Win waive all disputes as to the falrness-ofthe trial
of the different sizes, although thodlfference la at lease
fifty per cent. In bis favor.
The Safe selected by ns has already been through a
fire In the Girard Building*, fell through the door
fhom the fourth to the thlrdatory. and bus never been
repaired since the fire, so that Hr. Lillie has the ad-
vantage of one fire against two, as no Safe can pass
Ihrongl) a heavy fire without some damage. The fol
lowing certificate refers to this Safe:
