NEWS SUMMARY.
BY TELEGRAPH,
Morning Report. Several of the
Noble county, Ohio, traitors, who at
tempted to resist the authority of the
Government last summer, have been
convicted in the U. S. District Court,
and fined in sums of $500 to $1,000
each Latest dispatches from Chatta
nooga report all quiet Our losses in
the late battles were 4,500, while the ene.
ray's loss was 6,450 in prisoners alone,
and 46 guns. Gen. Foster Jhas driven
the rebels from Clinch river, and is'pur
suing them, but the check Foster receiv
ed there, it is feared will let Longstreet
get off. The President's health is not
yet sufficiently restored to allow him to
weigh the merits of Meade's late cam
paign, and no decision will at present,
be made The Report of Seeretaay
Welles, it is said will be a most interest
ing and satisfactory document Our
Navy, it is said, consists of more than
650 .vessels Washington correspon
dents all agree that Hon. Hchuyler Col
fax's success in the contest for Speaker
of the next Congress is beyond all ques
tion Large quantities of cotton are
being found in Western Texas, and ef
forts will be at once made to get it into
the market Considerable Union senti
ment has also been developed in that
region The total lo.ss on our part in
the recent campaign across the Rapidan
is reported at 1,350 The President's
health is still feeble, but he is closing up
his Annual Message.
Noon Report. We have news from
the Richmond papers relative to affairs
on the Rapidan, but it develops noth
ing new... Thirteen large vessels
are said to have run the blockade at
Wilmington, on the 19th ult An At
lanta dispatch says Bragg's headquarters
were at Ringgold on the 28th, and ex.
presses great fears for Lonzstreet's
safety. It also says a column was mov-
ing from Chattanooga to Knoxville
The Radicals have achieved another tri-
umph in the Missouri Legislature by the
election of their candidate for State
Printer.
Night Report. Our dispatches of
Saturday evening contain some interest
ing items from rebel sources. Several
dispatches are copied from the Rich
mond papers, relative to. the fight at
Chattanooga, but no particulars are given
other than those already furnished our
readers by dispatches from Chattanooga.
The good people of Charleston are
having a lively time with Gilmore "s
-shells, which are continually dropping
into the city. No other intelligence
from that point is given other- than the
bombardment is steadily progressing
The rebels are manifesting a disposition
to assume the offensive on the Rapidan
and advanced on Meade. The result of
the movement is not announced From
North Carolina we have particulars of a
brilliant cavalry raid, resulting in the
capture ot a company of rebel
rillas.
guer-
Tlu- Wtk Dr:if!low shall the Law
be Changed ?
The slow rate recruiting is going on
mauy- portions of the country makes
i it pretty certain that the draft will have
to he relied on to raise the men called
j for by the President. Some townships
and com. ties have, by energy and liberal
; bounties, secured their quotas already,
' but we have heard of no State that can
, be said to be near M out of the woods."
The great States of Pennsylvania and
New York (outside of the city), so far as
we can learn, are making but little effort
to avoid the draft. The lust draft was
such a farce that the people of those
States regard tiie whole drafting system
as a mere matter of moonshine a scarc
er ow to frighten the timid into volun
teering. " I have three hundred dol
lars salted down to pay my exemption,
and I'm all right," saya one; "I've got
a touch of the rheumatiz, and I can't
go," says another; ' We are 35 years of
age," say a half dozen "let 'em draft
we are in favor of a draft, that's the way
to get men ; we are Opposed
to the sys
tem of volunteering to fill up the army."
All of these classes manifest but little in
terest in raising volunteers. The con
sequence is, the work hangs heavy on
the hands of the Governors, and the ar
mies are filling up at a rate that would
secure the recognition of the confederacy
the men. In addition to the indifference
of those who consider themselves ex
empt from military duty, on the part of
others there appears to be a general feel
ing of security, especially in this part of
the State, which says, in so many words,
" Well, I guess theTe won't be much of a
draft, after all. Governor Morton will
manage to fill Indiana's quota in some
way. It's well enough for recruiting of
ficers to work upon the fears of the timid,
and the pride of the patriotic, to fill up
their companies, bat that's about all that
will ever come of the draft in Indiana."
And so they pay no more attention to the
matter, nor will they, till they find them
selves drafted and notified to appear at
some military rendezvous, witnin a spe
cified time. Then they will regret their
folly, and cry lustily for substitutes; but
substitutes will be north nearly their
weight in gold in fact will be out of the
market No other course will be open
to the poor conscript then, but to shoul
der hi3 musket and march to the front,
to the tune of " Way down South in Dix
ie," or " When this Cruel War is Over."
But will the present conscript law be
changed ? Just as certain as Congress
assembles. What changes will be made?
First and foremost, the $300 exemption
clause will be stricken out This clause
has been a great source of objection to
our Democratic brethren, who claim to
be the peculiar friends of the poor, and
the Union men are resolved that the ob
jectionable feature shall be removed.
Second, the age classification will be
tkrift rvArl on no r ln'nltiln nil 1mrn.As tl. a
-""S -- " u.-iwccu iuc
a?es of twentv and fortv-fi vr in one r sirs

from which the draft will make its selec
tion of soldiers. This change is de
manded by justice. Men between the
ages or on ana 40 are 83 able, generally,
to endure the hardships of military
life, as those between the ages of
25 and 35. In four cases out of iive
the families of men between the ages of
35 and 45 are not as helpless as those of
men from 30 to 35. In the case of the
former, some of the children are suffi
ciently advanced in years to be of as
sistance to the mother, while in the case
of the latter, their families are compos
ed of very small children and are en
tirely dependent upon and utterly help
less in the'absence of the father. This
point needs no lengthy argument to sus
tain it It is apparent to even the casual
observer. Either, therefore, all men of
families should be exempt or none
Again : men over the age of 35 are bet
ter prepared to leave their business than
those under that age. Generally they
have secured homes for their families,
and their business is so well established
as to require but little effort to keep it
going during their absence. With the
young man, who is the possessor of noth
ing but a growing and helpless family;
who is just beginning a business, that
will be ruined if he is taken away from
it; who has no home provided for his lit
tle family from which they may not be
driven by some rapacious landlord how
different! The draft very nearly ruins
him, pecuniarily, and in case of his
death, destroys his family. Above all,
however, the men over 35 years of age
as a class, are better able to obtain sub
stitutes. Many of them have boys 'old
enough to go; all of them can raise the
money to pay for a substitute, while in
most instances men under 35 have not
the ability to pay large sums for substi
tutes. However great the sufferings of
their families they would have to go.
The present law makes another dis
tinction in which we could never see any
i Justice or good sense.
It provides that a
widower, however wealthy, who has one
or more children depending upon him
for support, shall be exempt, while the
poor man, with a sickly, helpless wife,
who is unable to take care of herself
! much less her children, if drafted is
j compelled to march. A widower can
nlcn easier make provision for one or
two children than can a man for a
sickly wife and helpless children. This
distinction in favor of the widower ought
to be abolished. Either the fewest pos
sible exemptions should be allowed, or
else they should be extremely liberal in
their provisions, in which case it is plain
the soldiers would not be forthcoming.
We think we may safely say that the
widowers, who are neglecting good offers
because they expect to escape the draft,
as the case now stands, had better not
let another good opportunity pass
: unimproved.
W e have thus hastily run over a few of
; the features of the present conscription
' law, which we think will be chanaed-

Statistics of the Bombardment of
Fort Sumter. The Richmond Enquirer
of the 11th inst, arrays in statistical
form the amount of shot and shell pour
ed upon Fort Sumter. The following
are its figures:
Since the bombardment of Sumter
commenced (on the 17th of August) up
to Thursday last, 15,588 shots had been
fired at it, of which 12,302 struck. Of
the garrison twenty-seven have been kill
ed, and sixty nine wounded. The flag
during the same time has been cut down
thirty-four times. The average weight
of shot being 200 pounds, the weight of
iron was 3,116,006 pounds, or 115,439
pounds of iron to each man killed, 30,
370 pounds of iron to each casualty.
If the charges of powder averaged fif
teen pounds, we have 233,745 pounds of
powder used, or 8,657 pounds of powder
iu each man KUIeJ, auti 2, -KM pounds of
powder each casualty. Sumter, in ruins,
laughs at her enemy, who still fears to
pass her battered walls. Charleston will
have a valuable iron mine in the ruins cf
Sumter, and even now, when iron is
scarce, and sells high industry at very
little risk, might make a fortune.
Beecuer on Lincoln. In his Thanks
giving sermon, H. W. Beecher spoke
thus of the President:
We owe a deep debt of gratitude to
God for the Chief Magistrate of our land.
He is wisely and surely pioneering the
way to the liberty of this nation. One
man there was whom God's hand had
ordained to break our foreign bondage.
If it were possibla to honor more than
him another whom God has ordained to
break the bondage of a worse oppression
in our land, then the second shonld be
greater than the first; but joined togeth
er, one and inseparable, we shall hereaf
ter hear on jubilees the shouts " Wash
ington and Lincoln the fathers."
Bra go's Army Train Captcred. It
: has been denied by good authority that
uen. uragg s irain was captured oy the
enemy, as stated in the ew York pa
pers. Yet the Lynchburg Virginian, a
few days ajro, had this paragraph:
" Bragg's Train Captured. We learn
through an officerr just from the West,
that the capture of Bragg's train, re
ported by Thomas in the Northern news
published to-day, is correct He says
the Yankees captured from five hundred
to seven hundred wagons, and burned
them within sjght of our army."

Special to Tribune.
Washington ,Dec. 4. All reports about
the removal of Meade that spring up be
fore the meeting of Congress, are pre
mature. Alter the .President obtains
strength sufficient to weigh the merits of
' J , ... . ,
we si un)s campaign jusi closed, a de
cision may be expected.
Une ot the most interesting reports
ever issued by a Secretary of the Navy
is now preparing by Mr. Welles. Tbe
estimate for all branches of naval and
marine corps will not exceed $142,000,
000. The itemf that increase the esti
mate to this figure, are the expenses of
construction and purchase ot the im
mense fleet which, now being the prop
erty of the Government, -will only cost
an annual maintenance and repairs.
The report will suggest many improve
ments in the management of navy mat
ters. Secretary Welles will devote some
space to discuss the question of iron
clads, and it is said the reason: for the
failure of the attack on Charleston is,
that the harbor obstructions are too great
to be overcome by vessels. Mr. Welles
will be able to count 650 or 700 vessels
as the property of the naval department
There is no doubt that Schayler Col
fax will be speaker of the House in the
38th Congress. Should the ballot be
taken in the caucus called for tvmorrow
evening, his majority will be decisive. It
is generally understood that the caucas
will postpone the nomination for other
officers till Monday evening. But this
possibly may not be the case.
The opposition candidate for Speaker,
without much doubt, will be Cocx, it be
ing understood that Ohio decidedly pre
fers him to Pendleton.
The estimates for the Department of
the Interior foot up $8,050,000. Of this
amount the Pension office estimates
$400,000 and the General Land office
about $600,000. The judiciary estimates
are cut down at least $500,000. The
Indian Bureau figures are also cut down.
In the Patent office the balance on hand
is $38,000. The Agricultural Depart

. splendid assortment of Optical Instruments,
which be will dispose of at greatly reduced
pries ; his goods being all of the very latest im
provements in manufacture, consisting of a very
larcT- variety of Spectacles from the m..-t common
to the very b-st, vii : The finest quality of Gold
Srct!i-.-s. th.-. ;ias.-s being constructed on the
most accurate adaptation of the Convex Coacavo
Perisc -pic principles. Also, silver or three dif
ferent grades or Glasses, No. 1 being on the same
priucii.le ai the Gold Spectacles. 'o 2 is a Peri
renal Lease; No. 3 being a fine Achromatic Lens,
mirror hape.
In addition to Hie alove I have a fine assort
ment or Steel, of the very b?st quality of Lenses,
the frames being grooved into tbe Glasses. Thi
fraaiM are so fine as to bo scarcely visible. No. 2
of steel is Perifocal No. 3 the globules of a
sm ik d Lense, adapted Tor weak sight where
strong lisht, snow or wind affects the vision.
These Spectacles are a perfect preventative by ose
iug them constantly, causing the eye to gain its
healthy power and retain it to old age.
Having had very considerable experience also in
cateraet eyes, in adapting glasses to snch vision,
would impress on the minds of all persons need
ing glasses of auy description, to apply for each
only to a regular Optician, making that his sole
study ai;d business for years, be alono being able
to know from the peculiar anatomy of the eye the
natur. of the defect, whether arising from weak
ness of s slit, flatt-ning of tbe pupil, or other
misfortune occurring to the visiaa. The eye be
ing the most delicate organ, and of the most vital
importance to tin- hppinest and prosperity of
man, should never be tampered with, either by
the individual or by those who, for mere profit.
! take upon themselves the selling of Optical In
I strumtnta, and who know nothing of the anatomy
of the eye, or how to discover tbe proper glasses to
I snit tbe peculiarity ol the different sights of those
! needing spectacles. Thousands have lost their
vision entirely from not applying to those only
qualified tc know the different defects in each in
dividnal's sight, and how to remedy it by wearing
the proper kind of spectacles. I. Bittenberg,
having bad over twenty-five years experience as a
regular practical optician, can assure those giving
, him their patronage that by apnlvine to him thev
can get the very right kind of glasses adapted to 1
their case, and in almest every one secure good
eye sight to old age. Neir sighted persons ran
also obtain of him t'u latest improvement ia
spectacles suited to them, being a new invention.

with Astromical eye pieces, being very superior
to tbe old opera glass arrangement. All kinds ot

tu- office, warehouse, and other buildings aPDur

The macliiniry of this Mill, thoueh at present
out of repair, is of the most superior character.
"-e:i niaiiunicturea lo ine order of
former proprietor, Mr. James Hewitt, with the
view or niaKicg a first class Mill, and
reg-d torost.
Since it was put in, the mUl, though conducted
by ageuis. in the absence of the owner, bas been
one of tho most successful money-making estab
lishnieats or tin- kind in Southern Indiana. For
the truth or tbi. we rake the liberty of referring
to Mr. Geo. Wolilin, Sheriff of Yanderburg coun
ty ; Mr. Newton Rca of Princeton, Gibson coun
ty, and Mr. Lyman T. Bayless, now of Mt. Vernon,
who have respectively managed the mill lor the
late proprietor.
This property, being contraliy situated jost
at the lower line ul the City Wharf, presents a
rare opportunity to purchasers, either for Mill
purposes, or as a most desirable Investment ia
real estate, which must rapidly enhance in value.
