OreNUG TUB CAMPAIGN.
It is useless to affect ignorance ot tbe fact
that an unusual degree of activity character
ires tbe movements of the armies compris
ing the military Division of the Mississippi,
particularly thoseof the 10th, 13th and 17th
Army Corps. It has been publicly stated in
dispatches and otherwise, that tbs country
between r Corinth and LaGrange, Tennes
6CC, b«w been abandoned, and the troops con
centrated at points on the river for embarks
tton.-' That' section, the theatre of eo many
bloody conflicts, and the final c ®
of so many brave eoldlcra, i» yielded
up to rebel domination. We have heretofore
held It with a grasp of iron, bat now that the
occasion for retaining it has passed, we relax
' ©nr hold and give it over to guerilla bands
and outlaws. In a military point of view it
has now no value. When the project was
entertained of supplying onr annlea In South
cm Tennessee and Northern Alabama from
Mcmphis,'we were compelled to keep open
the line to Corinth at all hazards; but now
that supplies can more readily be sent by the
river and the Northwestern Road to Nash
ville, and from thence to Pulaski by rail, and
from Stevenson by rail and river to Hunts
ville, there is no good .reason why
the ' soldiers, who, for many months,
have guarded railroads and performed garri
son duty, should not be sent to the front, and
tbe Charleston and Memphis railroad be allow
ed to run Itself, subject to such rules and regu
lations as Sol Street and Brig. Gen. Richard
son choose tb-devise.
Tbe military situation as we understand it,
is this: A few Hays ago, the cavalry of the
Department of the Tennessee, comprising a
larger force than has yet operated in a single
column, left for Holly Springs with the inten
lipn of moving on the same ora similar line as
that followed by Gen. Grant In his advance
upon Grenada in December, 1862—the
line of the Mississippi Central Railroad.
Troops xrom Cairo, troops from
Columbus, and all the soldier* in
Memphis, Moscow, Corinth, Grand Junction,
and other posts on the line of the Memphis
and Charleston railroad have been embarked
on transports with orders to rendezvous at
Vicksburg. There remains In Memphis
sufficient old regiments, besides the en
rolled militia, and to them is committed the
maintenance of order in West Tennessee.
A column composed of all or the 17tli and
ICth Army Corpß, except those who may be
needed to hold the defences of Vicksburg,
the whole under the leadership of McPher
son, will shortly, if it has not already,
start for Jackson, the capitol of Mississippi,
and thence move eastward and southward,
until it intersects the column of cavalry mov
ing along the Central .Railroad, and the col
umn of infantry which will move from Natch
ez into the interior simultaneously with the
departure of McPherson’s command.
It is yet too early to indicate the point
where these three columns will unite, hut
when united, it is known that General
Sherman will have chief command, with Mc-
Pherson and Hurlbut os .corps commanders.
If Mobile be the objective point, os is more
than Intimated in the public journals, tbc
place of junction will be some convenient
station on tbc Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
probably, if. the position be defensible, at
Meridian, the junction of ibe Mobile and
Ohio Railroad with the Southern Railroad
running eastward from Vicksburg. The dis
tance is but one'lmndrcd and forty miles
from the river, and supplies could be brought
with comparative case from that depot The
distance from Meridian to Mobile, by rail
road, is one hundred and thirty-four miles.
Thirty miles east of Meridian, in a direct
line, the Tombigbee River, which unites
with the Alabama forty miles above Mobile
Ray, is-reached,and fifty miles farther east
is Selma on the west bank of the Ala
bama, one of the .-most’important mill
taiy positions in the State of Alabama.
The concentration of these troops at Mcridi
an, would of necessity involve the occupa
tion of the Tombigbee, the Alabama, and the
city of Selma. We' would therefore have
these avenues of approach toMohlle—the two
rivers and the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
Selma Is a thriving town in Dallas county,
Alabama, about seventy miles west of Mont
com cry, and the southern, terminus of the
Alabama and Tennessee River Railroad. Be
fore the rebellion, it boasted a population of
three thousand souls, but , since the removal
of the Confederate foundries and arsenal from
Meridian, the number has doubtless largely
increased. It is surrounded by a rich and
populous district, and has always been
the centre of activelmsihesA' A railroad
extends westward towards Meridian, but until
the outbreak of the rebellion there was a gap
of thirty or forty miles unfinished, which the
rebel authorities have since constructed.
It, as Is more than. surmised by parties In
usually veil Informed ciroioo, the objective
point is Montgomery, and this hypothesis is
by so means an improbable one, the road is
open. It traverses a country abounding in
pork and the cereals, and its topography and
general features present no considerable
obstacles to the march of an invading army.
From Montgomery to Pensacola there Is
direct railroad communication, and also to
Atlanta, Borne, and Central Georgia.
Those "who have traversed the country
intervening the Tennessee in the
vicinity of Chattanooga and At
lanta, know that it is traversed by
parallel ranges of mountains, which can only
be passed, through natural gaps, easily de
fended, and presenting almost Insuperable
obstacles advance of alarge army. At
these gaps, wide enough to admit the pas
sage of some small river, railroad or carriage
woy, a few men can hold at bay a large army.
The bottle of Bmgold, where a brigade of
cavalry severely punished three fall divisions
under Gen. Hooker, is a case in point Now,
If a flank movement by way of Montgomery
can be inaugurated, and the rear of John
ston's, formerly Bragg's army, he
reached by this column which will concen
trate at Meridian, sound military policy
wonld seem to dictate that It is the proper
course to pursue. Tlte enemy finding his
left flank turned, wonld be compelled cither
to risk a battle at great odds, with a force in
rear and front, or yield the position, abandon
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, and retire
into South Carolina. Mobile wonld tbenfall
into our hands like a peacefully ripe, with
out battle and without bloodshed, and the
rebellion be narrowed down toamere provin
cial aflalr confined to South Carolina, North
Carolina and Virginia.
Even that small territory, if we may be
lieve the cheering accounts which reach ns
Irom the eld North State, is likely to bs the
theatre of a rebellion within a rebellion.
The Union dement is growing apace, and
curses both loud and deep are hurled against
the rebel authorities., ; The transition from
words to blows, and from a condition of
peace to a state of rebellion, is easy, os we
have-leamed to our cost.
Upon the whole, the military aspect iu the
Southwest is cheering, and there is little
doubt rtiflt the present year wQI witness the
last gasp of the great rebellion in that region,
and that thenceforward it will live only in
history.
IBON MANUFACTURES—OBES.
We propose in tkis and a few succeeding
articles to show that iron may be profitably
manufactured'at Chicago, on on extensive
scale, and to present reasons why such man
ufacture should be encouraged here. We be
speak for this subject the attention, not
merely of parties interested in iron directly,
but of all who are interested in the growth
of Chicago.
To make iron from ores successfully re
quires conditions well known to practical
operators, and not difficult of comprehension
by business men generally. They are:
Ist. An abundant supply of good ores, good
fael to reduce them, and limestone for flux;
cither on the spot, or bo located as to be readi
ly concentrated.
2d. Ample means of transportation.
■Sd. Intelligent labor at moderate prices.
4th. A reliable and extensive market; the
nearer the point of production the better.
sth, Adequate capital to undertake and
xany forward large enterprises, looking
rather to ultimate than to immediate returns.
Let us take up these points in their order,
And observe how Chicago compares with
•other localities, where iron is more profita
bly made. And,' first, as to ore, coal, and
limestone: Chicago is central to the most
extraordinary deposits of these materials in
the world. They lie, too, in convenient prox
imity or are connected with It by railroads,
and lakes, affording unlimited means
of cheap transportation..
Northward, on Lake Superior, are the rich
magnetic and specular ores, developed on a
of unequalled grandeur, and following
the outcrop of thejnimary rocks from Mar
quette westwerd along the south shore of the
lake, far Into Wisconsin. Their most south
erly appearance Js near the Falls of Black
Biver forty northeast of L&Crosse,
where they are found abundantly. These
ores yield from 60 to TO per cent of metallic
iron, and from their superior richness may be
profitably transported to great distances.
They are now carried to Cleveland, Bufifclo,
nnd even the interior of Pennsylvania, to mix
ttUlx poorer ores. They are inexhaustible,
ml distributed as to defy monop
oly, and eventually to reduce their cost to a
Unit not bbclt tbore the cwt of mining.
Into the heart of this iron region, a railroad
Is now being constructed, which, from the
known ability of the proprietor*, la certain
tiS he completed at an early juncture—proba
bly** thin the next six months. This rail
road runs from BaydeNoqnet to the Jack
son mine, connecting there with the line now
used in transporting the ores north to Mar
quette lor shipment When it is completed,
Chicago will be in immediate communication
with Lake Superior and Its mineral wealth.
The southern terminus of this road at Bay de
jsoquet, is 250.miles dne North from Chicago.
Vessels can ran either way with one wind,
and carry ore to Chicago profitably at $2.03
per ton. It can he delivered at Bay de Noquet,
including cost of mining, loading on cars,
freight, and profit to -mine owners, at $3.00
per ton: making the total cost of the ore de
livered atChicago/$5.00 per ton. The same
ore costs $7.50 per ton at Cleveland or Buffalo.
But it is not alone 'with Lake Superior
ores that we hive to do. .'A deposit less 1
known, though equally important tb the iron
interest here, exists* In the fossil, or dye
stone ore of Wisconsin. The principle mass
of this ore is located at Iron Bldge, Dodge
Co n Wisconsin, forty-fire, miles west of Mil
waukee, on the La Crosse: Railroad. It is
there exposed on the face of a line of bluff's
fronting the railroad for nearly throe-fourths
of a and ranging from ten to thirty feet
in thickness. This ore belongs to the same
class as that of Clinton county, New York,
Danville, Bloomsburg, on the Junhta, at
Hollid&ysbnrg, Penn., and along the foot of
the Cumberland Mountains, in Bast Tennes
see. It is folly described in the anna i) re
port of the Geological Snrrey of Wisconsin,
1657, and is noticed by Mr. Whitney in his
Metallic Wealth of ffie "United State* as follows:
** The most promising locality of ore in Wis
consin is in Dodge county, at the so-called
‘lron Ridge.’ It is per oxide, haring an
oolitic structure, and forming a heavy bed in ,
rocks, apparently of the age of the Clinton
group ofNew York. The quality seems to
be good and the quantity abundant The
iron ore of the Mississippi Valley must event
ually become of great importance since the
rapid growth of the population in numbers
and wealth, and indicates an immense firure
consumption of this metal, which can be no
where so economically manufactured as here.
The extension of a network of railroads
through the vast region west of the Mississip
pi, will create a demand for Iron which will
not fall to lead to the development of the
rich mineral resources of the Northwest”
The Iron Ridge ore bed is Immensely thicker
than any other deposit of similar ore known.
.It ranges form 10 to 20 feet in thickness. In
its unaltered condition It lies included be
tween massive grey limestone above and soil
bine shale below. Over a largo ex
tent of surface, however, the lime
stone has decayed, leaving the ore
'loose and uncovered, except by a few feet of
soil. Many millions of tons lie thus exposed,
.which can be handled as cheaply as common
earth. The amount of available ore in this
.bed is not less than 30,000,000 tons, or enough
'to stock ten iumacee, producing 23 tons per
: day each, for 150 years. It is ample to meet
' the demands of the Northwest for this class
■of ore for thirty years to come.
The chemical composition of this ore is
also very favorable. It contains from 45 to 50
‘per cent of mctalic iron, combined with water
silica, magnesia, alumnio, magncee, and lime,
in suebproportions as to form its own flux.
It yields in the furmcc a ton of iron, from
2# tons of ore, and requires less coal to
smelt it than any known ore.
.The' Northwestern Iron ’ Company have
erected a blast furnace at Mnyville, which is
now in successful operation, producing d iiiy
about nine tons of pig iron. Under the man
agement of Frederick Wilkes, Esq., Secretary
of the Company, an extensive scries of ex
periments have been made with the ore.
The result has been .a triumphant success.
Fig iron has been produced cheaper than it is
made elsewhere in this country, and rivaling
the cheapest iron of Europe. Not only his
the Iron Ridge ore been used In these experi
ments, hut It has been mixed with the Lake
Superior ore in various proportions, with the
best results. The Lake Superior ore makes a
soil and very tenacious iron which is hot
short The Iron Ridge ores yielded a very
dense hard iron, which is cold-short Com
bining the two in proportions of one-third to
one-half Lake Superior with the balance Iron
Ridge ore, apriinequalltyof iron is produced,
adapted to the varied uses ot the arts.
; It is a fact well knownlhat few ores work
ed alone produce an'iron adapted to many
uses. The skill of the Iron master Is - shown
in the fortunate combination of ores, as that
of the painter is exhibited In the blending of
colors.
; The location of this ore is remarkably fa
vorable. It i6%of a mile from the track of
the La Crosse R. 8,, ten miles from its junc
tion with the North Western, and can be
brought to Chicago either by the latter, or
by the Milwaukee, & Chicago R. R. The
distance by M. & ,C. B. R., is 123 miles, by
N. W. E, R. 150 miles. It can be delivered
io Chicago at s3xu per ton. One ton, com
bined with an equal amount of Lake Superi
or ore, yields a ton of pig iron of the best
quality. The cost of ores for a ton of this
iron, at Chicago, will be seen by the follow
in figures.

. As seen by the above figures, ore for a ton
of iron, costs §0.50 less here than at Cleave
land. Nearly the same difference will be
found at Buffalo. These ore the nearest
points with which Chicago lias to compete.
Good ore, the first essential element of suc
cessful iron-making is thus shown to exist
abundantly within striking distance of Chi
cago : and the cheapness of ores as compared
with other localities, .leaves a large margin
to apply on other items of expenditure. In
another article we propose to consider the
matter of fuel, for smelling these ores.
The Campaign In Bast Tennessee.
In a recent issue, a narrative was
given of some of the incidents con
nected with the late campaign in
East Tennessee. In that account there were
several inaccuracies, arising from the hurried
and desultory nature of the conversation with
Gen. White, which deserve to be corrected.
The supplies were not destroyed, as we in
timated, in the passage of tho Cumberland
Mountains. On the contrary they were, not
withstanding the difficulties of the ascent, all
saved, and used with tho greatest economy..
In this connection, a word of the Csth Illi
nois (Scotch) regiment and its gallant officers
may not be amiss.. This regiment constitutes
a part of the brigade under CoL Daniel Cam
eron, Jr., well known to onr citizens as'a
War Democrat of the fighting persuasion.
Cob Cameron with his command marched
with the expedition into East Tennessee, and
has participated in all the tolls and privations
and most of the battles which have occurred
in that section. Immediately prior to and
daring the investment of-Knoxville, Coir
Cameron was in command of the ; de
fenses oh the south, tide of the
river, and was repeatedly attacked by
superior forces, and always repnlsed the
enemy. The Scotch regiment ever dis
tinguished itself for its persistent, stubborn
bravery when assailed, and lor frequent spir
ited charges upon the enemy's lines when- he
advanced uncomfortably near. It is safe to
say that the services of CoL'Cameroh hnd his
command inthe redemption of East Tennessee
from rebel domination, hare been folly equal
to those of any other part of . Gen. Burnside’s
army of equal numbers.
The 112 th Illinois mounted Infantry was
also greatly distinguished daring the cam
paign, and especially " during the two days*
fighting after the occupation of Knoxville, at
the time the gallant Saunders fek. This reg
iment withstood and repnlsed many desper
ate assaults, losing, heavily each day, bat
never yielding an inch or abating a Jot of
their obstinacy until ordered to do so by the
officer in command, During tho siege, ObL
Hudson was absent, and the' command' de
volved upon Major Dow who gave ample
proof of his ability to fulfill the position.

Washington, Feb. 1,1861.
Tire SPIIUT DUTY.
A large delegation has arrived here from
various parts of tbe country, especially New
York, in order to operate with the Senate on
tbe spirit dnty amendment of Fernando
Wood. I learn their proposition is to raise
the doty on all spirits manufactured after the
Ist of January, 1864, to SL2O. Some would
he satisfied with SLOO. Tbis was Mr. Love
*oy’s proposition in the House previous to
the passage of Wood’s amendment, .and
rnade in the’ interest' of the”dlstnicrs.‘
The question, as*,respects this propo
sition, is the Government!
would not permanently lessen'the revenue;
to he derived from tbe bQI by the imposition
of so high a duty." The revenue on whisky,
nowever, will really come out of the profits
of the-retailers, which are now immense;
and it is argued that they can stand a reduc
tion of even'one dollar per gallon, and still
leave them a handsome profit. In England
and Ireland, notwithstanding the high duties
and higher cost of the artide, spirits are re
tailed at 3 cents to 4 cents per glass in the
drinking saloons; while excellent beer,ale
and porter can be had at 2 cents per imperial
pint, notwithstanding the heavy dnty on
malt and the high rates of pnhllcan licenses.
The holders of spirits, as a dernier resort,
threaten 1 to form a combination and retain
their stocks on hand in order to remunerate
tbcmsdver for the losses on their specula
tive purchases. This is a project, however,
very difficult of realization.
UEFOBTS OF SOUTIIEEN EXHAUSTION—UBGE ON
the enlistments.
There arc, as usual, various and conflicting
reports from the south. The “intelligent
contraband” is not yet ‘‘played out,” but
generally brings the most flattering news of
southern exhaustion and distress. Tbe last
individual of this species Is a body servant of
Jeff Davis. If wc were to believe all this fel
low tells, the prospects of tbe rebels were in
deed most gloomy, and a speedy end of the
war inevitable. One of his tales is that Vico
President Stephens had run away to Europe
' like a rat deserting a sinking ship. I put no
faith in such stories. On the contrary, the
i most reliable Information from persons who
hate travelled over the whole country is that
a most desperate resistance may be expected
- in the spring; that the conacripition is sweep
ing in lie operation and of course yields a
•huge number of men; that in the spring the
rebels intend opening the ball on as huge
a scale almost as ever. Tbe leaders are now
fighting for their necks, for their existence,
and hate and fury must - lead additional vigor
to their operations. For my part 1 believe
fully in the views ol the Governors and other
prominent men of the Western' and Middle
t States who urge on the Government the no
jcessUy of increasing our armies, so os to try
a series of vigorous blows to break up the ar
mies of the rebels, and scatter them to the
; winds. The object of the rebels is to pro
tract the war. They know that everyday’s
'delay is at on immense sacrifice in men, mo
ney and material to us, and must tend to re
tard their ultimate subjection. The financial
aspect of the war gathers more importance
daily. It is that which is trying the ability
bfMr. Chase and the best financial minds in
the country. It is that now in which the
rebels at the south and traitors at the north
—such as Wood, Brooks, Cox, Valanding
ham, and others—aim their blows. Breaks,
J. C. Allen, and others, demand that onr sol
diers and sailors be paid in gold, not for their
sake, but for the soke of aiding the rebels. It
will render the war more costly, they think,
and consequently proportionately unpopular.
Let ns pay no heed then to contraband sto
ries, or if we do let- them' urge us to more
active operations in the field. Lotus free
the difficulties of the situation like men. We
have long since had 100 much of their sixty
and ninety day business. The people have
no more patience with your optimists.
THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.
Tbc House committee have very properly
decided against Mr. Field’s claim to a scat
from Louisiana. In fact the farce was too
broad, to go down with the members. —
The only vote Field 1 had • was from
a very small fraction, situated outside
of the city limits of New Orleans, the milita
ry authorities haring forbidden the election
in the city. The fact is, the whole thing was
a transparent pro-slavery dodge. Where Is
the civil government of Louisiana ? : Is there
Properly any at this time ? Reman, of New
brk, true to his pro-slavery, rebel Instincts,
desired to Lave the military authorities cen
sured for preventing the election. Winter
Davis, on the other hand, offered a resolu
tion. to the effect that there is no legal au
thority to hold an election in Louisiana,' and
that an attempt to hold such is a usurpation
of the sovereign authority of the United
States, and was properly forbidden by the
military authorities. -Ur. Stevens, of Penn
sylvania. contended that Louisiana was not
in the Union, and very pertinently remarked
that if she were, by what right was a military
Governor appointed? The subject is to be
resumed again on Tuesday. '
lire h'ATIOKAI. AMD STATE BAMK SYSTEMS—
gIGhSOFTHE STATE DESTITUTION YIELDING.
IHb rumored that the New York banks are
about to send on a delegation here to ascer
tain whether Secretary Chase will consent to
a modification of the National Bank system.
I believe that one of the modifications for
which they contend is that the banks may be
allowed to retain tbeir old names under the
new law. In this connection I see it stated
that another large bank, with ten millions of
capital,is to be established bythe subscriptions
of the Associated Banks now in the New
JTork Clearing House. This would indicate
a backing down of the New Tork Sinks, and
also their intention to establish a regulator
of the exchange throughout the country.
Congress has the power to regulate this mat
ter of the bank contest entirely In their own
bands. Let them put a tax on the circulation
of the State Banks, and they will soon bring
them to terms The same principle or power
which mokes Treasury Notes a legal tender—
the power to siy what shall be the money of
the country—gives Congress the right to say
what shall not be that money. This is a self
evident proposition.

THU MONBOE DOCTBINE.
Mr. Hasson, of lowa, in the Senate, has
Introduced resolutions deprecating the inva

and expressing the conviction “ that such an
enterprise will be universally regarded in
.America as a menace to the dignity and per
manence of popular government; that it will
only result m adding a new element to the
causes which have retarded the prosperity of

Mr. Seward, In bis correspondence on this

accepting or deprecating the French occupa

the peep-show man said to his patrons.
DEATH OP HON. J. W. NOEL.
This gentleman's death was very appro
priately and beautifully announced in the
House on Friday by his colleague, Mr. Blow.
Messrs. Arnold, of 111., ondKollins, of Mo.,
also pronounced eulogies; as also did Mr.
Tbadacns Stevens, of Fa. The latter gentle
man sold that it ought to be written in let
ters of gold that John W. Noel was the first
man from a slave State who introduced a bill
for abolishing shivery. So conservative was
he, that when he asked for ten millions of
dollars as compensation for the freed slaves
of Missouri, and the Senate returned the bill
providing for gradual emancipation, he de
clared it to he unjust, and, os it prolonged
emancipation, could not receive, his support.
-Who wonld not take his chance before the
Father of ns all, than the . chance of the vain
hypocrites, the miserable wretches who pro
fees to hold their mission from on high, who
proclaim slavery to he a divine institution ?
GOLD SPECULATIONS. ,
Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, In the Senate in
tends in a day or two to report a bQI impos
ing more penalties on gold speculations.
That such a bill will have the effect of pre
venting the advance In the precious metals
is. evident from the fact that speculators
have their agents here, to advise them of the
nature of this and all such hills, in order to
be prepared to take advantage of their effect
on the market. The country should by every
means in Us power strengthen the hands of
Mr. -Chase-In order; that ho may safely ac
complish the hcrenlan task before him.
Every patriotic.man desires to see an effec
tual stop, if possible, put to those who grow
rich at the exp ease of ths country and the
great mass of the people.
ETCEUITTNG IN CHICAGO.
I find the following extract from a private
letter from the Colonel of an DUnois regi
mentintbe'CAronfefoofthismorning. It may
be of interest to tbo Tbidune readers:
The regiment arrived at Chicago on Monday last,
had a vi r/ warm reception, and the ladies had pre
pared an excellent dinner, andwll seemed to enjoy
themselves very much. The following day the re
enlisted men were all fnrlonghsd for thirty days,
and the officers assigned to recruiting sendee.
We have already over two hundred recroks en
listed, and expect that the regiment win be full in
about thirty days more. Copperbeadiembcrelsas
low as Confederate paper, only a little more so. .
Regiments are coming home and filling np rap
idly, and will be all foil before the spring campaign
opens. This is-vcxccediogly gratifying, and snows
plainly that onr Government was never before as
strong and the people so ml-ed as at present, at
least in the We it,~and I presume this Is the feeling
everywhere in a greater or less degree in all the
loyal States. The most amusing part of it tome
is, that the sons of the rabid Copperheads are en
listing in spite of their nnworthy sires, and the old
plea of minority being played, out, they cannot
help themselves.
In a few weetr we expect to rejoin the army, well
filled, and ready for active service.

AN ADDRESS TO THE REBEL
SOLDIERS.
They Effuse to be Forced to Be*
Enter the Rebel Service. ,
THE REBELLION ON ITS CRUTCHES.
Editors Cincinnati Commercial
The following address was procured by me
from some rebel soldiers in Calhoun county,
Alabama, a few days past I was on secret
service for the Government, and-was there
fore in disguise, and the rebels gave me the
address, supposing me to be a rebel soldier.
There is no mistake os to its genuineness;
and I know that it has circulated to a consid
erable extent among the -dissatisfied rebel
soldiers. The following is tho address:
Fellow soldiers of the army of the Cumber
land ! Three years ago we were called upon
to.volunteer. in the Confederate army for a
term of three years; and we all nobly respon
ded to the call, with the express understand
ing that we were to be discharged as soon as
our term of service expired. Indeed, we were
faithfully assured by all of our officials .that
such a course would be pursued.The Secre
tary of "War proclaimed that those “Who vol
unteered “for three years or during the
war,” would have to be discharged from the
army at the end .of three years. But to our
utter surprise, we are now told that we must
he conscripted and forced to enter the army
for another term of three years! Our feelings
are not to be consulted—we must be con
scripted! :
“Was such a thing over heard of before ?
Ho the annals of war furnish a single Instance
of volunteer soldiers being forced to continue
in the service after the expiration, of their
term of service? Surely not* If we search
the history of the world, .from the days of
Adam down to. the present, we will find that
in every instance, a volunteer soldier was dis
charged as soon os his term of service expir
ed, unless he, of his own accord, re-enlisted as
a volunteer; and are we, Americans, once the
boost and pride of the world—ore we to be
treated worse than the. heathen of the dark
ages of the world treated their soldiers ? Are
we to be made the worst slaves ever known
to the world ? And are we to become the
laughing-stock of the world?
Fellow Soldiers ! is it not clear to every
! rational mind, that onr pompous and merci
less rulers are daily stealing away our rights
and liberties, and reducing us to the most ab
ject slavery ever known to the world ? And
; shall we cowardly submit to this palpable
infringement upon our most sacred rights?
We were told that we must come out to
fight for onr rights; yet our Inhuman leaders
are gradually robbing us of every right in
herited by nature or transmitted to us by our
predecessors. The Federals did not hesitate
:to discharge all their nine months’ troops
whoso term of service expired lost summer—
; they were promptly discharged, and their
places filled np by new levies; and shall we
puffer ourselves to be treated worse than our
enemies are treated? Ho, brave comrades,
let us assert our rights, and unflinchingly
maintain them. Let us show our beastly
rulers that they cannot thus enslave us be
cause wc ore private soldiers They have al
ready cunningly led ns to the very threshold
of destruction; they have practiced one de
ception after another upon us; they have told
us lies—horrible lies—to induce us to become
their abject slaves.
“Among the innumerable lies promulgated
by these unmitigated scamps, we call your
attention to the following: They told ns
, that the war would not last thre? months;
that foreign nations would recognize us os
an independent people, and help ns fight;
that the Yankees could not fight; that one of
ns could whip ten Yankees: that Vicksburg
could never betaken; thatCiiattonoogacould
never be taken; that the Peace parly of the
Horth would force Lincoln to make peace
with the South; that we soldiers should be
discharged as soon as our time .expired, and
that wc would not bo heavily taxed. These
are but a few ol the many hypocritical lies
proclaimed by those conspirators who have
precipitated us into- irretrievable revolution.
Shall we submit to be beguiled by these un
pardonable usurpers, and permit our families
to starve to death, through want of our labor
at home? Are we not. aware that if our ab
sence from families be protracted another
term of three years, many of them, will suffer
wretchedly for the necessaries of life, If they
do not starve entirely to death? And'are
wo not bound by the most sacred laws known
to man to provide for onr families? And
should we permit a set of usurping profli
gates to prevent us from complying with this
law? By the late laws of Congress, onr
families are to he taxed to an almost unlim
ited extent; and If we submit to become
conscripts,' the last ray .of hope will have to
be expelled from onr hearts, for we can tlich
hope for nothing but an untimely state of
abject slavey, not only of ourselves, batalso
of oar families!
“ Notv is the tine to assert onr rights, for
If we wait longer our doom will be forever
scaled! We who write this address are de
termined to demand onr rights, and, if neces-
saiy, we will demand them at the point of the
bayonet! Wc'are not enemies to the South;
bat we arc lovers of our rights, liberties, and
families; and if we must lose all our sacred
rights, and permit onr families to starve, in
order to sustain onr wicked, leaders in their
deceptive course, we prefer to return to our
allegiance to the old Government, accept of
Lincoln’s pardon, and let the leaders and their
Confederacy go to bell together! This may
be hard language for men who have fought
in many a hard battle to use; but silent en
durance ceases to be a virtue, and confident
arc we that the Government of the United
States can treat ns no worse than we are be
ing treated by onr heartless olficlals in the
ficld'as well as at Bichmond.
“But we are told that if we will let the
authorities conscript ns, the war will soon
close, favorable to onr side! Can any ra
tional man credit such a perfidious lie? Docs
not this conscripting business plainly say to
the world that we are fast playing out?, that
onr weakness is rapidly manifesting itself
even to onr own deluded minds ? -Fellow
soldlcrs, we have been too often deceived by
these wily liars to place the slightest confi
dence in anything they tell ns! They arc but
invented lies to enable them to tie the cord
of despotism tighter around onr wrists!
Every intelligent soldier among ns knows
that we are already whipped; and why not
acknowledge it at once ? why not show onr
leaders that we know we are whipped as well
as they do ? President Davis virtually ac
knowledges this fact; so do the Secretory of
War ana the Secretary of tho Treasury!
What use is there for ns to contend against a
dead cnrrcncy and an empty commissary in
the face of the best army ever marshaled for
combat? Think of these things, fellow-sol
diers, and decide what shall be your course.
Wc have made up onr minds to go home as

Battle Between Cortina and Katz.
fCorrespondence of the N. T. Tribtmc.l
. Temur ETBrnro, 9 o’clock, Jan. 12,1851.
The “norther” haying blown out this fore
noon a fight has came off to-night. ; From the
best information it appears that some *irp p in
“t® afternoon, why I have been nnable to as
certain, Cardenas, an officer, of Cortina’s
command was shot In the court of the Gov
ernment House, which is occupied by Tin lit
In a short time Cortina, whose troops were
in the “ JfVoza de CupeSa," tamed out his men
and planted some of his cannon In the streets
near the Leandol’s Coffee House. Ruiz then
posted his guns in the street near.the church,
at the north comer of the “ F'aza 2 rtneipaV*
About dusk the ball opened by a cannonade
In the very heart of the city, without any pre
vious notice haying been given, the Intervals
between the cannon shots being filled by the
irregular rifle practice on the part of the sol
diers on both sides, many of whom are perch
ed on the house-tops, which is still kept np.
it seems that Rnlz has two guns of large caU
~,er > pt is said they are 2-f-poaadera,) while
Cortina has five,- none of which arc of a larger
caliber than nine pounds. The . cannon arc
not fired very rapidly, and appear, to be.doing
much more damage 10 the bricks and mortar
than to the opposing forces. The same may
be said of the rifle practice. On the whole,
the fight seems to go on precisely like -that
which took place here between Caplstrdn and
Caiyajal (and which was witnessed by your
correspondent) two years ago, only, there is
rather more of a cannonade. .
„/Wednesday Morning, 1 o’clock:— The
firing still continues, havmg : been. supended
for about half auhourupon the'crossing over
of a body of troops from- Brownsville, sent
by Gen. Herron to protect the American Con
sulate, after which it was resumed, and still
continues. It is rumored that Cortina here
made a charge and captured one of Ruiz’si
guns, which seems to be worked with more
activity than before. It is of no use to sit]
uplonger. The fig! t will keepup all night
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—The fight Is
over and Cortina is master of the situation.
Ruiz’s forces have been utterly routed, and
Ruiz himself; with all his principal adherents,
ere saidto be in Brownsville.
'When I retired last night the firing was
progressing as usual, and a was kept up, as
I leam, during the whole night. Three regi
ments were sent over by Gen. Herron, toge
ther with four pieces of horse-artUlory, to
protect the Consulate. A large crowd stood
on the bank at Brownsville, witnessing the
combat as though it were a panorama. This
morning the troops returned, filled with coin
and with valuables of all sorts deposited In
the Consul’s office for safety. The Consul
and family went along. The firing still con
tinued, though chiefly with small arms.
Ruiz and his troops, which were both more
numerous and better disciplined than those
of. Cortina, seemed to have been penned np
in the block In which the Government Honse
Is situated, and to have stood at bay, though
firing but little for some hours. At last they
cave way, a portion marching down the river
in good order, and though fired on, moving
steadily forward without returning a shot
and the rest breaking in wild confusion and
running towards the Cruz ferry (opposite
Brownsville) and other points on the river.
Some were pursued by a few of Cortina’s
men and made to surrender. Others es
caped by swimming the river, A few man
aged to cross the ferry. Ex-Gov. Albino Lo
pez was si ot through tho head.-
On the v. hoL-, considering the length of the
conflict acd the amount of firing, there have
been but few killed—in all perhaps not over
25, but that cannot be - known with certainty
for some days.
How for the explanation of tho result It
appears fram the statements of Ruiz’s friends
now In Brownsville that when the adjust
ment {arrffjlo) between Ruiz and Serna was
made, a printed copy of which was sent yon,
it was further agreed that the ammunition at
Matomoras was to be divided between their
commanding officers. This ammunition was
there, and had been for some time in the
charge of Cortina. The crhiolino* state that
Cortina delivered over to them therisht num
ber of boxes of ammunition, which 'they re
ceived without inspection. When the fight
began they opened the boxes, and then found
them to contain only common balls of a size
unsuitable to Rniz’s gone, rifle balls, and no
powder. Of course when Ruiz, though at the
head of a superior force, found that after hav
ing fired away all the cartridges in his cais
sons and in the cartonch boxes of his men be
could get no more, it was madne s to think
of fighting longer. He is said to have bad
I,CCo while Cortina had only 500 men. As
Serna Is not far off he will now probably re
turn and act as Governor. If not, Cortina
will assume to either occupy or fill the office,
and Juarez will probably recognize the de fac
to Government As the combatants are all
Liberals, be can do no better. So much for.
the last revolution in “Heroic Matomoras.”

CHICAGO DBY GOODS EHAKKET.
'WfiDJTBSDAT EYXXGTO, Feb. 3. ISC4.
The market for Pry .Goods continues firm and, for
the season, unusually bnik. Since the date of our
lastfevlew there haa been no material change In pri
ces. Standard Brown Sheetings are Arm at 43o—the
Jobbers of New York selling at the same price, and
the roannftictnrcrs asking 45c. Pleached Goods are
also steady: bnt we see In New York letters that pri
ces there are higher—Stark’s Mills being firm there at
ftfcc. New styles ol Prints are in active request and
prices are higher- 24& c being the outside qndtallon,
wbicb Is the ruling price in Now York.
Since oar last review the well known Arm of Cooley,
Farwell * Co., has been dissolved by the withdrawal
of Mr. Coolsy from it. The business, however, goes
cn as usual, under the name of Farwell, Field * Co.—
Mr. Levi Z. Idler, for many years cashier of the old
Arm, and Mr. S. N. Kellogg, formerly of St. Louis, en
tering with Mr. J. V. Farwell and Mr. Marshall Field
as partners. Mr. Cooley'was the buyer of the estab
lishment, and he now retlrsa from business altogether,
a consummation ho has desired for several years past.
We have no doubt that the new flm will meet with
that deterred success to which the old attained. The
men arc all merchants of known integrity—
gtVc have also to notsachanfein the young.enter
prising and brotherly firm of Bowen Brothers. They
have moved from their old quarters to a new marble
structure, erected especially for them, at 19 aod 21
Lake street, where they will open a stock complete
In all respects for every class of buyers. They bad
long since outgrown their former building, and .they
have now very spacious apartments for the exhibition
of their merchandise—the structure being W by 130
feet, five stories blgb, with basement and attics addi
tional-making one of the finest mercantile establish
ments In the West. We are Informed that they will
open lor the spring trade one thousand packages of
goods bought two months ago, before the recent nd
vacce In prices, which they can well afford to sell at
or below New Yorkpriccs of the present date. We
notice also that they have received and are still re*
reiving consignments of new products from all parts
of the country, of which they arc the agents, end
which will give buyers every advantage. It is proper
to state that they still continue the Crockery Depart
ment, which will be foand complete in every descrip
tion of that class of goods.

CHICAGO CATTLE MARKET.
WEDSBDAT EVISnfO, Feb. 3,1W4.
HOGS.—With a more liberal, although still very lim
ited supply, there has been Increased activity In the
yards to-day.' The total receipts amount to a Utile
orcrZCCOhogs. the whole of which were closed off In
one third of the time It took yesterday to sell about
one-fomlhof the number, and at an advance too,upon
our previous quotations of 15&25 C. per 100 lbs.
There Is no want either of activity or firmness In
the market; the chief troahle is that the receipts are
considerably below the demand, with the prospect of
tbs disparity being Increased rather than lessened.
From the most careful Inquiries made among the
breeders of, Bogs through this and the surrounding
districts, It would seem :that of the live bogs still re
maining In the country lar the largest supply will
come from Missouri; and this, at the rate at which
Hogs are being dressed, and sent In dally, will probably
be very small. In the sales of to-day the largest and
best lots were 6i> bogs bought by W.M. TlMen, av
eraging l£3 ns at ZSjBO, and £67 sold by Tamer &
Hewitt, of Canton, Illinois, to Used A Sherman, av
eraging 358 Be,'at $6.25 per 100 As,

BEEF CATTLE; The market, as usual, hnq been
very poorly supplied; all hough the receipts amounted
to Dearly 700 bead of Beef Cattle, of these 358 bees
purchased previous to arrival here fbr the Cincinnati
market, thus leaving ooljksome BS6 head available
fbr buyers. These were, however, very speedly
bought, mostly on Government account, and at
prices which Indicate an advance before
yesterday’s quotations of lOQISc FIOO Bs. The enter
ed ealea at the various yards amount to 299 head, at
prices ranging from SBX#O4A*. 9 100 Bs. We also note
the eale at the Fort Wayne Yards of six very magnifi
cent steers, reared by J. Walwork, and avenging
nearly 2,400 Bs, for the sum of one thousand dollars.
They were purchased by J. Fausctt, who is at present
dolnghlsbeattoprovldcagoodsnpplyofbeefcatilefor
the nnny of the Potomac, and are tebe sent off at once
to headquarters at Washington. Without reference
to what has or may be done In the way of feeding ex
tra stock, we may say that six better fed Durham
steers never left the Fort Wayne Yards. In addition
to these Fawsett 1s also Bending ’a fine Buffalo, for
which he paid $200.09, weighing 1 bs. At Sner
man’s Yards we also noticed four very extra Durham
steers, elz years old, averaging a little over 3,000 Bs
each, reared by A. Sandusky, of Vermillion county,
Illinois, for which £llOO were offered and refused,
they are In very fine condition and will, there la Utile
doubt, meet with a purchaser at once.
