NEWS SUMMARY.
BY TELEGRAPH,
Morning Report. Gen. SchoEeld has
left St Louis for Washington city, and
probably reached the Federal capital
yesterday. We will probably learn the
- i . ,.
uuuie oi nts successor belore we go to
Press The great necessity for sailors
in our navy has compelled the Navy De
partment to retain many on vessels
whoae time has expired, and fears are
entertained by naval officers that evil
consequences may result. Additional
bounties should be offered for sailors as
for soldiers, that the full complements
maybe kept on all our vessels of war
Mr- Ashley, of Ohio, would, on yes
terday, introduce a billjintoJCongress for
reorganizing State Governments in dis
loyal States, in accordance with the sug
gestions of the President's Message and
Proclamation The Army of the Po
tomac has not gone into winter quarters,
as reported, and it is not certain that it
w!11 do so Nebraska and Colorado
will soon be admitted into the Union as
States, and a new Territory will be form
ed out of a portion of the former
Gen. Buford, one of our most efficient
and dashing cavalry officers, is reported
to be dangerously ill, and grave fears
for his recovery are entertained by his
physicians An expedition sent out
from Yorktown a few days ago, broke up
a camp of rebels at Charles City, Vir
ginia, between Williamsburg and City
Point, on the Jams rivtr, killing and
capturing a number of rebels. Our loss
was trifling A convention of United
States Assessors is in session at Cleve
land, Ohio. We are not advised as to
the object of the convention From
East Tennossae, we have a confirmation
of the rimor of the disaster and heavy
loss suffered by Longstreet in his retreat
from Knoxville. He has lost 3,000 pris
oners and deserters, and had been com
pelled to abandon his siege guns after
burning the carriages. Tho guns had
fallen into our hands. His army is rep
resented to be in a most demoralized and
disheartened condition. He was last
reported at Rezersville, probably Rogers
ville, still a long way from railroad com
munication Burnside's army at
Knoxville had plenty of provisions when
the siege was raised, and two heavy
trains, with supplies, were met between
Cumberland and Knoxville A fire
occurred at 5 o'clock yesterday morning
in the machine shops of the Ohio & Mis
sissippi R. R. at Vincennes, which re
sulted in the destruction of two buildings.
A heavy snow storm, and the favorable
direction of the wind prevented a much
greater los3.
Noon Report. By arrivals from bo
low we have New Orleans dates of the
7th and Mem
Larire Quantities of cctton
arrive at New Orleans, chiefly for Gov
ernment Trade restrictions at Mem
phis were becoming even more rigid
j than formerly, and the work of conscrip-
: tion went on briskly The steamer
i Von Phul was fired into near Bayou
: Sara, on the 8tk and her Captain and
three of her crew were killed and four
passengers were wounded. A gunboat
silenced the batteries, which were com
posed of 0 and 12-pounders A report
that prevailed that the iron clads were
about to return from Charleston Harbor
is contradicted, and Admiral Dahlgren
is reported to be preparing for impor
tant work Charleston presents a
gloomy and dismal appearance at night,
no gas being allowed on the streets or
lights in the houses.
By last night's Mail. We have ad
ditional particulars of the occupation of
Elizabeth City, which is likely to prove
an important affair The Chesepeake
has been heard from, and is probably re
captured ere now.

Blander of the 29th regiment, reached
" - c f . . . 1.
iju uiusb uunursujs service. ae Was in
all the battles near Chatta'nooga, and the
terrible lojs in his regiment, 171 killed,
wounded and prisoners, nearly half of
all that went into the fight, at Chica
mauga. proves tlwt the courage made so
auspicious at Sbiloh has not degener
ated. He brings with him the boiy of
his nephew, Captain Dunn, killed at
Chicamauga. He also brings the grati
fying news that three-fourths of his reg
iment have re-inlisted for three years
more, and obtained furlough to come
home in a body for the holidays.
Col. Albert Heath, of the 100th regi
ment, was also in the city yesterday on
his way home to recover from a severe
wound received in the victory at Mission
ary Ridge. He was struck by a large
fragment of a twelve pouud shell on the
breast, tearing loose several ri'o., and
jamming the upper part of the breast
bone in upon the bones of the shoulder,
injuring the lungs and causing a deform
ity which will require much time and
Buffering, we fear, to remove. He speaks
in the most enthusiastic term of bis reg
iment, which stood for two hours under
a fire in which they lost one hundred and
thirty men, without moving back an inch,
or being able to return a single shot
Not a man attempted to retreat, even
to carry off the wounded. When the
Colonel fell several of the men
came to him and desired to take him to
the rear, but they were ordered back to
the rank3. It was their first real battle,
and they bore themselves through it as
Hoosiers should. The Colonel also says
that every man would re-enlist for three
years if it were not that they have still
two years to serve, and a re-enlistment
is unnecessary to take them through the
war. Even as it is, many express a
strong desire to co in for the new term
and a big bounty. The next day after
the battle at Missionary Ridge, even be
fore the roll had been called after the
fight, the regiment was ordered up to
Knoxville to support Burnside, and it
was there at the time the Colonel left
Chatt anooga, last Thursday. He says
the reports of the demoralization in
Bragg's army are by no means exagge
rated; that it is doubtful if more than
one-third of its effective strength remains-
t Ilmx U .mmuLiii. ra tail ur
deserters with arms, who won't o-ivo
themselves up to our forces, but live
upon the rebels in the vicinity, and band
together to resist any attempt to force
them back into the army. But deserters
are constantly coming in, and he has no
doubt that fully 10,000 have been or will
be taken from the rebel army in this
way, and by direct capture, before the
campaign can be renewed.
He expresses very decided belief that
Lsngstreet will rejoin Bragg, and doubts
if we have the means to prevent it. He
says Gen. Grant is still suffering from
his fall at New Orleans, has grown thin
and stooping, and shows marks of so
great a loss of health and strength as to
create fears of his recovery, though he
still works as indefatigably as ever.
When it was announced at Grant's head
quarters that Bragg had been removed
and Hardee put in command of the rebel
army, the General quietly remarked, "He
mJ cnoice, an opinion that seems to
be very generally entertained in both ar
mies. The abuse of our dead and woun
ded at Chicfamauga by the rebels, of
w hich so fearul an account appeared in
the Cincinnati Commercial recently, was
even worse than reported; the correspon
dent didn't tell all the truth; probably
was afraid to tell it all for fear some of
it would not be credited. Indianapolii

Ledger Office 40 Park Row, )
New York, Dec. 7, 1863
To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune :
Sir: My attention has been called to
a statement in your paper to the effect
that I have made a " return on the New
York Assessors list, 'no income;' " and
this you call " one of the beauties of th
Income Tax." I do not know what mo
tive could have promoted vou to o-ivr. os
culation to such an extraordinary false
hood, jf you will inquire of G. P. Put
man, Esq., the Collector of Internal Rev
enue in the District where I reside, you
will find that I was one of the very first
persons in this city to pay my Income
Tax; and if you will investigate still
furtner I venture to assert that you will
find the sum much larger than paid by
the publisher of any other weekly paper
ifl the United States. The statement
that I had paid twenty thousand dollars
for a certain horse is also false. 1 have
bought no such horse, and consequently
paid no such price. This, however, is
immaterial; I am accustomed to the pub
lication of such yarns, and care nothing
about them; but I demand, as a right,
that the libellous fabrication about "the
non-payment of an income tax be cor
rected at once.

Vixcinxes, Dec. 16th. A fire occur
red at the machine shops of the 0. & M.
R. R. in this place this morning at 5
o'clock, burning two of the buildings,
namely, a store house and lumber shed.
The damage is estimated at $3,000- A
severe snow storm was raging at the
time, and the wind was strong from the
Northeast, which prevented the flames
from extending to the other buildings
and causing great destruction of proper
ty. The workmen and citizens came
promptly to the rescue, and the fire was
soon extinguished.
Gen. Schoffleld en route to Washing
tonFears of it Mutiny among the
Sailors at New Orleans An Import-,
ant Bill to be Introduced into Con
gress. Special to Tribune.
Washington, Dec. 15 Gen. Schoffleld
is on his way to Washington and is ex
pected to arrive to night or to-morrow
There is no news that can be published
from the Army of the Potomac and no
present prospect of a change of com
manders. That the army will again
start for Richmond this winter is highly
improbable.
A letter received here from a naval
officer on board the flagship Pensacola,
at New Orleans, states that the embers
of mutiny is fast gathering among the
sailors of that harbor. It seems a great
many of these sailors iplisted for one
year and their tern has expired, but the
Navy Department, being pressed for
men, is obliged to issue an order that no
3oldiers be allowed to come home, even
if their time has expired, until relieved
by others. This order is said to be felt
very severely by a portion of ou-sailors,
and the officer who writes fears mutiny
may be the result.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, will introduce to- i
day an important bill nrnvirlinrr in n.
cordance with the suggestions of the Pres
ident's Message and Proclamation, for
the establishment of provisional militarv
Governments over districts of country
in rebellion, authorizing loyal citizens
of such districts to organize State Gov
ernments. The Bill of Mr. Ashley confers upon
the President the power to appoint for
every district in rebellion a military
Governor, who is to have civil adminis
tration until State governments can be
formed and Senators and Representa
tives to Congress elected.
Whenever the people desire a reorgan
ization of the State government, themil
itary Governor is to order an enrollment
of loyal elections. As soon as the num
ber of the latter shall be equal to one
tenth of the voters at the Presidential
election in 1860, the military Governor
shall order an olotinn v- - Ci.nc
vention which shnll hp nnl,n.;,

United States, or the President's procla

After the constitution is subjected to '
the people for its adoption, Senators and j
Representatives may be chosen. Ali
laws of former Constitutions of these
districts, making distinctions between i
black and white persons, shall be abro- I

will soon report bills to bring Nebraska,
Uah, and Colorado into the Union as
States, and also to create a new Terri
ntory out of some portion of Nebraska.
The bill to increase the pay of the ar
my meets with general favor.
C.ur.o, Dec. 15. New Orleans papers
of the 7th received, contain but little
news.
The U. S. steamer Bermuda, with a
cargo, and the steamer Antioc arrived
on the 6th. The cargoes, consisting of
cotton, were handed over to the U. S.
prize court
Thirteen hundred and fifty-seven bales
of cotton from Skipwith's Landing, some
distance above Vicksburg, was received
on the 4th, understood to be from New
York, and not offered at New Orleans.
sales on tue otn were oou oaies ai
725(;73 for middling. The Memphis
cotton market was more active on the
12th, but prices low; sales 350 bale3 at
65(5,67c.
The military order preventing the peo
ple from bringing in cotton is still in
force.
During the past week still more strin
gent measures have been put in opera
tion. The Banks have been ordered to
pay out no gold to depositors or on
checks.
Total sales of cotton during the week,
725 bales. Shipped froii the port, 1,174
The military authorities are seizing all
the Jiorses and mules in Memphis, for
o.al permit, aiSnoJ Lj. the commanding
General, as necessary for lawful purpo
ses, paying the owners fair prices for
them.
The conscription is being rigorously
enforced, in accordance with recent or
ders. A destructive fire occurred on the
night of the lifts. Loss not ascertained.
The steamer Von Phul arrived from
New Orleans on the 7th with 79 hogs
heads of sugar and 338 barrels of molas
ses. She was not fired into while goino
down, as reported, but on her way up, on
the 8th, was attacked twice above Bayou
Sara.
The firing was from a battery of 6
and 12 pounders on the Louisiana shore,
throwing shell and round shot: Capt
Gorman, commander of the boat, was
killed by the first shot. Three others of
the crew wfirp killpd Four passen
gers were wounded. Forty-three shots
were fired. Three passed through the
hull, others struck the boilers, and five
raked the boat from stem to stern.
A gunboat was conveying the Von
Phul, and at the same time of the firing
was within 200 yards of her and silenced
two rebel guns.
The steamer Perry arrived from Mem-
Ehis with 300 bales of cotton for 8t

New Yokk, Dec. 16. The Herald'
