THU NEWS.
Oar Indianapolis dispatch announces the
death of Hon, Caleb B. Smith, United States
District Judge for the Northern District of
Indiana. Deceased a few months since left a
ecotlntbc Cabinet to take his place on the
bench. No particulars are given as to his
death.
Judge Gaton, of thcHlinois Supreme Court,
has resigned, and the vacancy has been
filled by the appointtment of C. Beckwith,
Esq., a deservedly prominent and able
member of the Chicago Bar.
Gen. Curtis, a brave, loyal, and thorough
paced officer, as wc are inf>rmed by the dis
patches, assumes command of the new de
partment of Kansas, which is thus cat loose
from the body of death in Missouri.
Wc would call the especial attention of the
large hearted and charitable citizens of Chi
cago, to the communication of Bcv, Bobert
Cellycr upon the inside of this issue, relative
to the condition of the refugees at Leaven
worth, Lawrence, Fort Scott and other places
in Kansas. Thoroughly destitute, stripped
of all their property, and in the most wretch
ed condition imaginable, this fearihl storm
has visited them with new horrors. Some
thing must be done to relieve them immedi
ately, before death overtakes their whole
number. tLcttbesamecharitywhichrelicved
Kansas, suffering from the cruelties of gue
rillas, be dealt out to these poor victims who
have been compelled to flee from the same
rebel hordes, for their devotion to the Union
cause.
A special to the Cincinnati Coaunercid, da
ted Cumberland Gap, Cth. says:
44 An overwhelming force under Samuel Jones
attacked onr troops at Jonosville, Virginia, on
feunday, (xmelsilng of about 270 men of the 16th
- JUlnolß cavalry, commanded by Major Bears, and
■ 36 men of Scarfs Ohio battery, Including Lieuten
ant Algiers. A desperate resistance continued
from 7 o'clock in the morning until 3 o'clock in
Ihe afternoon, and was followed by the surrender
onr men. Oar .casualties on the field amounted
to about to fettled and 30 wounded. We also lost
- one cun belonging to Scarfs bauear and two small
howitzers. The attacking force numbered about
... ' Tjtc defeat and capture of half the ICth HL
-cavalry and three guns with the gunners, is
to be deplored. But we do not see how the
attacking force can be called“overwhel
ming” if it consisted of no greater number
than 4CO rebels. We don’t think that the best
400 rebels in all scceesia can do what this dis
patch alleges .If our men are allowed :to
light- There is an error somewhere. Either
our officers foiled in their duty or the attack
ing force was fir greater than is stated. We
dislike another statement in the dispatch
which reads thus; “ The force captured was
guarding the key to the rigionof country
which was onr main reliance for forage.”
Why was the “key” to so Important a re
gion for forage left in the charge of so slim a
force as a battalion of cavalry, one gun and
two small howitzers J*
SOLt>nSXMTOTIKGFOa CONG3U3SS
MKK AND PBESIDEXT.
Amongthe reported proceedings in Con
gress yesterday, we observe the followin'*-
very important item; *
Massachusetts, from the Com
mlttec on Elections, reported a bill fixing * uni
form time for holding the election for Represent*.
r!l“. -F .Cosgrcsswmd enabling soldiers to vote
Sd“v4S"k" Wa! or<teed to be printed
A bill of this character ought by all means
lobe enacted. Congress )m the constitu
tional power to regulate naturalizations and
fix the terms of citizenship. It 2ms the pow
. cr also to fix a uniform time for holding the
election for Representatives to Congress.
Heretofore this important matter h nß been
neglected. The State -Legislatures have been
allowed to set any time they pleased. In
some States the members of Congress arc
elected in the summer or fall preceding the
time of taking their seats, as in Tennessee,
but in other States members are elected six
teen months ahead, as in Missouri, In Ohio
and Indiana they are elected fourteen months
and In Illinois and Hew York thirteen months
in advance of taking their seats. This should
be reformed. The members of Congress
should be elected in October or November of
the tame year they take their scats. Last
full was the proper time to have elected mem
bers to sit in the present Congress In order
to have the representation fresh from the,
people. Twelve members from Ohio elected*
in October, ISC2, were repudiated last fall by
their own constituencies—some of them by
immense majorities, but they utterly disre
gard all popular will and vote steady on the
Copperhead side ofcvay qtfestionthat comes
up So, too, we find six members from this
State representing districts that gave large
Union majorities last fall voting with the*en
emies of the country against all measures in
tended to aid in putting down the rebellion.
But more Important still, is the other fea
ture of Mr. Dawes r blU,which enables the sol
, diers of all the States to vote for members of
Congress. Union men will hall with delight
the passage of this MIL ’Who has more right
to vote for members of Congress thnn the sol
diers J Who has shown greater patriotism?
■Who has more at stake in the legislation of
• Congress f A Copperhead Congress could,
and would, disband the army, and make no
appropriation for back pay or bounty. The
payment of soldiers’ pensions might be repu
diated ; the “greenback” currency of the
country might bo discredited, and even the
interest on the National debt might not be
provided for. The soldiers bave a vital in
terest in all these as well as in the terms of
.peace that may bo made with the rebels.
But the laws of most of the States have made
no provision for the volunteer citizen to
part in the election of the National legisla
ture. In lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mis
souri and Ohio the soldiers Are allowed to
vote, hut In Illinois, Mlfhfgrmj Indiana,
Tcnnsvivania and Now York they are denied
that right.
This bill or another one, should make pro
vision for soldiers voting for President and
Tice President. Congress has the same con
trol over the election of Presidential electors
as over the election of Representatives to
Congress and naturalization. All the argu
ments in behalf of soldiers Voting for the lat
ter holds equally good'as to the former. The
citizen soldier has just as much constitu
tional right to vote for President and Repre
sentatives as the etfiy-at-home citizen, and
ought not to be deprived of it

CONDITION OF TENNESSEE.
Genera] Burnside, Just from Tennessee, bad
a lengthy interview with the President yes
terday, and, I learn, gave him a very hopeful
account of the condition of aflalra In that
• State. The General, I understand, stated
that he found as loyal men in East Tennessee
jis ho met with In any State of the Union.
The loyal men there arc so without an “If”
or a “but,” and are perfectly willing to let
slavery elide, if it is thought necessary, for
the salvation of the country, that the Institu
tion should be abolished. 1 also learn tb«t,
Gcrcral Boss, (brother of the Copperhead
member of Congress ot that name, from Illi
nois,) who Is organizing the Tennessee mil
itia, at Memphis, under the direction of Ma
jor General Hurlbut, writes in the most "en
couraging manner of the prospects of the
Union cause in that State, He is confident
that Tennessee win be as fully in the Union
In less than ninety days as Missouri or Mary
land. Should this prove truet, the key-stone
of the Southern arch will have been removed,
and thc whole fabric must necessarily fall \o
pieces. The President’s Proclamation is
having an excellent effect on Tennessee, All
loyal men, and many of the rebellious, accept
it gladly.
GENERAL RUTILE AND THE EXCHANGE OF
rmsosEßs.
Gen. Butler also had a lengthy interview
with the PrcElaent yesterday, principally
upon the subject of the refusal of the rebel
authorities to treat with him on the snbjcct
of the exchange of prisoners. .I notlcc that
the Chronicle of this morning states that the
General will he sustained bythc Government
as sole commissioner In the business of ex
change; and that “ail the rebel prisoners
have been ordered sent within his jurisdic
tion at Point Lookout, with the understand
ing that none of them shall be exchan-cd ex
eept through him,” X have reasons to know
that the shove ia at least premature- that
the President, though desirous of sustaining
Gen. Butler to the extent of his ability, hiS
not yet fully determined upon the course ho
will pursue in the mutter. In that course he
will be guided solely by his desire for the
weilare of onr soldiers in the hands of the
rebels, and the honor of the country. As lar
as Davis’ writ ol outlawry is concerned, ho
(Davis) is as much an ontiaw to’onr Govern
ment as Bnller is to Davis’. The President’s
Proclamation has outlawed Davis turns elf.
and of the two outlaws, Butler stands upon
at-least as good a footing as Davis.
THE KAHOKAL BASKS AKD THE
BAKKEBS.
The actioi of the New York Merchants’,
iy change Bank, in throwing ont the notes
of tho~Fftst National Bank of this citv is
looked upon as proceeding from jealousy on
the part of the state Banks to these new in
stitutions. It would seem so. from the act
alone that the Slate Banks all are glad to
take the Legal Tender money.of the Govern
ment. Are not the notes of these National
Banks as good as Legal Tender’s? Let ns
sec. A hanker buys U. S. stocks at par or
above par, as the case may be, with Le-ai
Tender notes. He deposita these stocks with
thcU. S. Treasurer, and on them receives
ninety per cent, of circulating notes, thus
leaving a margin of ten per cent as security
for depreciation. Is itlikely that these notes
wmffllhdow Legal Tender, unless in the
event that tic Treasurer resumes specie uav
ment on them? But in that case the banks
would be compelled to do tbc same. When
they refuse to do so ose would think U would
be time enough for the New Tork Banks to
thrqwont their bills. This act of the Kew
York Banks I trust will call the attention of
Congress to the necessity of the State
Banka. Let these piebald institutions help
topay as large a share of the burdens of this
war as possible. If they are taxed a tittle too
heavily no great harm is done: in fact much
good will result if their bills arc all retired
irom circulation. In' that case we would
have a uniform currency, which would help
to sustain our national credit; the whole
country would be benefited, aud nor one
would regret if it were to a considerable ex
tent at the expense of a few bloated corpo
rations. I. Icarn that Mr. Washbnrne, of
your State, will at an early day bring in a
bill providing for . heavily taxing the State
Banks. His action in this matter will doubt
less be hailed with general satisfaction.

The late scare about the guerilla attack on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was a ridic
ulous force. Militaiy officers stated that
Gen. Kelley had telegraphed them «***- ho
was going to be attacked the next morning
at both New Creek and Harper’s Ferry. All
trains were accordingly stopped, and troops
were rapidly concentrated. The truth was
that a force of perhaps 1,500 half starred
guerillas had come down towards Winches
ter, and a detachment of them had captured,
on last Monday, a supply train of about 80
wagons, sent put from New Creek without
a sufficient guard. This was the whole- ex
tent of the guerilla invasion. If the War
Department .has old women to find districts
for, it should seek them more distant from
guerilla alarms.

The statement that Gen. Burnside has been

statement is mode on the authority of Gen.
Burnside himself. He has, however, been

that he would have beeu returned to Ohio
but for his own objection. It is also stated,
though with what foundation cannot be as

THE AGRICULTURAL. BUREAU.
..Tables of the coming agricultural reports
state the crop of clover seed for 1863 in
nine of the principal clover seed pro*
States; to be 800,448 bushels,
being a decrease from that of last year of two
hundred and twenty- eight thousand three
hundred Jand. forty-two - bushels. This de
crease is attributed to drouth, scarcity of fod
der and hay and early foil frosts. The Com--
mission of the Agricultural Department ad

THE ZOUSTT QUESTION,
Gen. Garfield yesterday voted alone against
the whole House on the bill extending boun
ties to the Ist of March, both to veterans and
to new volunteers. To-day large numbers of
the members who voted for that measure are
hutton-holing Senators and begging them to
smother it; It is considered as amounting
to almost an abandonment of the draft, and
as giving far larger drafts on' the Treasury
fbnp the President asks for or regards neces
sary. The Semite referred the bill to the
Finance Committee, where it is probably cer
tain to be killed. Fessenden, Sherman, Con
ncss and other prominent members are op
posed to it ;

The Democrats tried to oppose It by parlia

forts and rights.

Dayton, 0., Jan. 7.—The inquest upon the
body of Mrs. Klippengcr was concluded to
day, after examining- Samuel Stevenson,
train dispatcher, and atr. Brooke, operator
of the depot office at Cincinnati.
■ The testimony of these two ‘ wit
nesses conflicted with that of the
Carlisle operator, who testified that when he
reported to the Cincinnati office that
Potter was going on the side track, he add
ed, “ wait and I will see.” Brooks testified
that he did not hear the.words, “wait, and I
will £9 and see.” Ho acted on the report of
the operator at Carlisle that Potter was on
the side track and Immediately ordered San
ders to leave Dayton.
The verdict of the jury was that the de
ceased came to her death through ihc negli
gence of Sam Stevenson. It is not known
certainly that Potter’s train was at Carlisle
station, and held therewith positive orders
before telegraphing Sanders to leave Dayton.
The Carlisle operator was dismissed this

The Federal troops have commenced their
match, and arc approaching the frontiers of
Holstein and Lauenbuig from ail sides. The
Hanoverians, after being* reviewed' by their
King and exhorted by him to uphola their
well-earned fame, are massed at Barbara and
other places on the opposite side of the Elbe,
and breathe nothing but war. The Saxons
were to be famished with the German (block,
red, and gold) cockade, but King Johann has
since thought proper to annul the order.
They have passed Madgebura, and will leave
the railroad carriages In Mecklenburg and
and march into Lauenburg on foot The
march of the Austrians will be more quiet, os
‘the Schleswig: Holstein agitation is by no
means palatable at Vienna. For tho present'
their force will be limited to a corps of 5,500
men; but preparations have been made for
forwarding a further reinforcement of 15,000
men should the Danes make any resistance.
In order to be prepared for the arrival and
due housing of troops In this city a commis
sion has been appointed. The first step was
a public invitation to those inclined to re
ceive troops in their houses to send in their
addresses, and the number of men they were
prepared, to accommodate, but the remunera
tion offered (twelve schillings currency pep
diem) was deemed so unsatisfactory that but
very few. responded to the summons, so that
it was found absolutely needful to raise the
price offered from twelve to sixteen schil
lings. This succeeded better, and there are
now quarters ready and disposable for 5,000
men, which wQI nearly cover the Austrians
announced,. and the rest will be billeted in
the surrounding villages.
The Prince of Augoatenberg wanted, very
much to remove his nead quarters and provi
sional seat of Government to this city-—a pro
posal, however, that was fortunately over
ruled In a moet decided manner by Austria
and He now talks of removing to
Brunswick. :
Gen. Pleury, .Master of the Horse to the
Emperor of the French, passed through this
city yesterday on a special mission to the
King of Denmark. •
* I believe lam justified in announcing that
the Danish troops in Altono, and other parts
of Holstein, have received orders to retreat
.ou the approach at the Federal troops, -in &
Seaceabie manner, and without any hostile
emon&trations
TERRIBLE PAATtKE IK EUKOART,
The following is an extract of a private let
ter dated.
■■■ ' - Pesth, Not. 20.
My Dear Feiexd :—What a contrast be- -
tween the present mpment and that to which
lam now reverting. You ask me for a true
account of our position. 'lt is a miserable
onc-*-famine with all Its terrors and frightful
consequences. For near qnon two years not
a drop of rain! The sun rising from a shy
without - a cloudy and setting behind a
vail of fiery • dual 1 At the end of
three months 1 of spring, this year, the
crops lay withering upon a soil dried up to
ashes: skeleton flocks wandered moaning*
round the sapless, shadowlcss trees, and the
peasant came at lust to Watch the destruction
of all his hopes, the min-of Ms very exist
ence, with the stupidity: of a stoicism that is
the offspring of despair. - •
■ Some few herdsmen bethought them of
driving their flocks up to the more billy ,
country, or finding some fortunate valleys
spared by lingering damps, and hoped to find
food for their flocks -from sapling trees, bat
at what a price ? At that of paying with half
a herd lor the questionable nourishment of
the rest I Disease, soon followed
hunger, or rather they went step by step to
ccthcr, only that the one did the work more
slowly, and the other with more fatal promp
titude. , * .
You do not require mo tell yob the Inevit
able result; commerce .and trade are at a
stand-still; toe husbandman baa neither cat
tle nor com wherewith to fertilize his barren'
land for the season to come; ninny have al
ready walled up the doors and windows of
their houses, and have emigrated to Galicia
and Transylvania, hoping to earn food by
work, very possibly, however, never to re
turn again, to their homes, or, it may be, con
demned to exist on that hardest of all pro
vielonß, tho charity of the stranger.-
It is not an exaggeration to say that Hun
gary is by $13,C00,000 or $13,000,000 the poor
er for this awful infliction, and it must not
either.be lost sight of that it has struck a race
of men who, though ready to die on an open
.battle field, arc ignorant of these kinds of
trials, and scared by the idea of death-bringing
hunger, whereof they have till now not even
heard tnc name.
Hebei on Bock island,
I From the Davenport Gazette, 6th.)
It maypcriians be aplty to deprive the lov
ers of sensational nows of any of the exciting
intelligence from which they derive so much
pleasure In hearing and rehearsing, but truth
compels us to say that the rumored death of
from twenty to forty rebel prisoners on Rock
Island from freezing on the last night of the
old year and following days, bad no founda
tion in fact. Mtfre than this, not a single
prisoner has ever had a limb, a finger, nose
or ear frozen, save two or three who had the
last named member “ nipped’* while engaged
in carrying water. Not a death has resulted,
either, from the effects of the cold; physi
cians think that the general health hex been
much improved by the cold weather/Tnough
of course some have felt toe extreme cold of
the past few days very severely. Daring the
thirty day spending on Saturday last, there
were 102 deaths among the prisoners; Most
of these resulted from diseases contracted
before the arrival of their victims at Rock
Island. The prisoners are well cared for,
having the same rations as our own soldiers,
when well, and careful attention when sick.
Some of them are now actually suffering
from surfeit, the result of eating so much
more meat, &c., than tint to which they had
been accustomed for months previous. On-
Thursday last the supply ofcoal at some of
the barracks was exhausted, in consequence
of the failure ofthe contractor to provide a
sufficient supply; the officers in charge at
once made up the deficiency from their own
quarters. To meet the requirements of the
present cold snap, 5,0C0 additional army
blankets, and a like number of overcoats,
drawers, sock?, are being provided; a
part of these have been received and toe rest
are on the way. • Such. arc tho/aefe, as we
have received them from the best authority.

Value of « Promise of Blarrlage*
A case of almost romantic interest bos re
cently been decided by the Supreme Court of
this Commonwealth. One of the members
of. a late well known firm in San Francisco,
purchased an estate with money which he
had. secretly and fraudulently abstracted from
the funds of the company. On the 11th of
April, 1853, his wife died, and on the 21th of
June following *he addressed a letter to a
lady of Massachusetts, offering himself. In
marriage, and informing her that she might
regard the estate he uad purchased as Her
homestead.
Hip lacly accepted a deed of the place, and
promised to. marry , the grantor, but the mar
riage was prevented by his death. In Oresron,
where be bad gone on business. Meanwhile,
the firm iu-Son Francisco became Insolvent,
and brought a snit in equity to recover this
estate, which had been, purchased with part
nership funds, that they might apply tbe
avails towards tbe payment of their creditors.
The argument was, that the estate, having,
been conveyed os a mere gift, without any'
consideration, might be recovered.
But the Court decided that the conveyance
was for a perfectly valid consideration, name
ly, a promise of marriage. A woman who
voluntarily made an agreement to marry, say
the Court, cannot without indelicacy, and
so not without exposing hwrself to unfavora
ble observation, and to some loss of pabllc
fovorandrespect/seek elsewhere, except for
good and substantial reasons for withdraw
ing from on engagement . by which she
has bound herself, for preferment' la mar
riage ; and thus her promise • and agreement.

“The last American telegrams reported
