Tbe lending topic of discussion for the last few
days Is tbe Chief Justiceship. Hon. Montg Jtuury
Blair alleges that ho is sure of getting the ap
pointment. In the event of the failure of Gover
nor Cha.se to receive the appointment, Jude
Davis will probably get it. The President is
understood to hold that Maryland Is entitled to
be represented on tbe Bench. If be adheres to
that idea, Mr. Blair stands a pretty good chance
of being appointed Assoclute Justice.
The M
The President's Message is in print, and will
be, in point of length, about the same as last
year. Tho President takes a very hopeful view
of the situation, both in regard to tlmncial and
military operations. He purposes that the ex
penses of the war be paid by direct taxation,
thereby maintaining our national credit.
He also advocates an amendment to the Con
stitution entirely abolishing slavery, and shows
that, so lur as men are concerned, we have now
a larger uble-bodiod population than whoa the
war began; and that the country is far fro n
lieing exhausted either In men or money. The
mestage will be delivered on Tuesday. The
Treufury report is apt yet completed, and will

driven him beyond the Coosawbatchco Fo-tcr
leaving his dead and wounded on the field.
The tone of the papers of S.itttrd ty is much
more jubilant than hithorto. They sta'a that
not only has Sherman not taken Millen, but that
ho was badly beaten beforo that place. They
also bonstingly proclaim that he will never bring

IXPEDITION OF GEN. FOSTER.
Attempt to Tap tho Charleston and
Savannah Railroad.
ITS PROBABLE SUCCESS.
Hilton Head, November 30, II A. M. I havo
come round to Hilton Head this morning, and
titid that Foster's expedition landed at Boyd's
Point, on tbe Broud river, yesterday morning,
and were to strike the Savannah and Charleston
Railroad at Grnhamsvllle, twolve miles from tbo
point of debarkation.
They marched out yesterday, finding nothing
to oppose them but cavalry, who didn't oppose,
hut skedaddled. This morning I hive heard
heavy tiring In the direction of tho railroad. Ttie
captain ol the steam transport Hoiuhton, Just from
tlie front, having left lioyd's Point at U-3d A. M-,
says that the report was current when he left that
our forces had captured seven miles of tho rail
road, and were still advancing.
He says the tiring this morning Is very heavy.
I do not credit tlie story of too captaro of so
much of tbe railroad. '1 he country is very im
practicable for the movoment of troops, and Fos
ter could scarcely have got on so fast.
At Hilton Head we are all hopeful of Foster's
success In taking the railroad and holding it, thus
cutting olf communication between Charleston
and Savannah. cw York Times.

Kasiivili b, Saturday, December 3 Aftor two
days of wet weather, tbe cionds disappeared this
morniDg, and the day has been magniticent. I
have been on our right all day. Our lino of bat
tle extends around the suburbs ol the city, our
right and left respectively resting on the Cumber
land river.
Tbe enemy's line of battle Is Just two miles
from the city. Quite heavy skirmishing in front
ol General A. J. Mnuh and Woj l h is been going
on all the afternoon by sharpshooters on both
sides. On the right of our centre, near Widow
Acklin's plaeo, the enemy's skirmishers bejauv!
troublesome, (taking refuge behind houses on
Franklin, Granny U nite, and Hillsbaro nikes.
Two bouses were burned, several injured and
ruined by our artillery.
We used considerable artillery this afternoon
on our rifjbtand right centre, but elicited no reply
from the ltebel artillery. Tbe sunposriou is that
they are short of this knd of ammunition. Seve
ral of our men were killed to-day by their sharp
shooters, including two members of tbe Uth Ohio
Lattery.
The enemy's line can be scon quite plainly with
the naked eye.
All railroaiiing south of this city has ceased to
exist. Murfreesnoro, Bridgeport, and Chatta
nooga nre deemed safe. K vents of some moment
are anticipated to-morrow. It ui ty be cou-idere i
an impossibility for the Rebels to cross tuo river
either on our right or left, as Cotniuodore Fileu
b here w ith a licet of gunboats.
Jolinsonville bas been evacuted. Everything
Was removed from all the rallroidsin safety.
Thirty-three locomotives uud trains were scut
North this morning.
Nashville and the surrounding country for miles
baa been converted iuto a huge fortress. The
destruction of Hebel property in defense of tho
city will be almost Incalculable. As aim st all
the rich property-owners hereabouts are Rebel
sympathiAcrs, the rage manifested by this portion
of the community at tbe approach of the KetK-1
iirniy, necessitating the destruction of their pro
perty, is unbounded.
General Frank Cheatham, commanding one of
the Rebel corps, bas bis beadquart rs at the bouse
ol Mr. bdmonson, on tbe Murfreesuoro pike, four
miles from the city. He told Kdinonsoa that
Hood had orders to go to Nashville or to bell.
There is plenty of water in the river fur boating
purposes.
Vague rumors are afloat about Forrest crossing
tbe river, and Breckinridge Joining Hood, all Oi'
which are untrue. The situation of our forces is
considered perfectly satisfactory. ..V. I'. Imkh. .

" Mathv. maticam.y F. rricinvT Kv.i.toioN."
Ist night tho Walnut Street Tlieairo was
crowded by a motley audience to listen to a
fanatical disciple of a new "physiological" reli
gion. The method of five cents cn'nneo feo
mnst have proved remunerative, probably more
so than the lectures which tbe Reverend ( r) Doc
tor ( ?) Landls took every occasion to advoi tise
In the course of bis lecture or sermon on
"Tlenuty." Alter Ms singing, accompanied by a
delegation of six female disciples, the rcmiin
dcr of the audience listening in silence
he commenced his sermon by announcing tlie
text, "He made ull things beautiful " The 1jc
tor ( :) announced that no only thing was tr, ir
religious. If we adopted the physiological laws,
then we would become beautitiil, beautiful in
ptr-oual apKiiiaure, beautiful! beautiiul t beta
tifi.l! Tbe reverend ( r) spiukor in ten minutes
nsed the word "beautiful" thirty times, or once
in every twenty seconds. If we wou'd think
beautiliilly then, as our body la lomplrcly
changed every seven years. In that space of dm !
the hideous no.es which no v ulsiiguiu us would
become beautiful. The Christianity of to-day
was a nonsensical, God-lor-ak' n .iil'iir, and it
would take the sledge ha.nmer of the Almighty
to ki.o k new Ideas into Us followers, lis n 1
dress was greeted with bursts of laughter, and
oc usionally be was applauded by the gi1
leries. He tlieroiiKin offered up a prayer th it
God would forgive tho disturbers) of his services.
After the kirvice he requested the audience to
listen to a few remarks. He thereupon c nn
ir.enced a strong personal attack on our "weak"
Mayor. He said he bad si nt a deputation of four
ladles (?) to his Honor's oillec, to request a police
forro to maintain order. His Honor informed
the ladies ( ?) that bo hud a detective alter that
uiun Landis, for six months, and would have him
arrested as soon as tie could get legal ground for
such an action. Mr 1,. stated that as ho had
heaid that the live cent fee was illegil, ho would
whip the devil (alluding to Mayor llonry) round
tlie slump, and hereafter a committee would
Maud at each door, and every one ivr give a'
least five cents. Thus ho would esc ipo tbe penalty
ol law-breaking. After which phmipic lliu audi
ence disbanded.
As there is a law ngabist working on the Sab
bath, and Imposing a tine for its breakage, we
request (but His Houor will see that it is en
foiced, as Iteverendl i) l.indis must have cleared
a very neat little sum by this exhlbbion of the
advantages of physiological law. Wo call upon
His Honor to execute tho law and c.aiiHe his ar
rest. As tho enterprise has proved so remunera
tive, we expect that this moral circus will be con
tinued. N'kw Wkinklh tiir Fashions. Among
tbe many qneer turns which fashion takes is tho
recent Introduction of square, buttons, an article
with which the ladies most plentifully trim their
cloaks and dresses. These buttons are of all
sizes up to an inch square. The hunt ton is tho
big button, about tho cl.o of a square on a
checker-board. A little whilo ago and tho rago
as spherical buttons of three-quarters of an ineii
diameter, gilt or silvered, and with these they
ti iiiiined their "Garibaldi bodies" and their vivau
diere jackets in lavish profusion. Like gilded
tipples, they formed rows down tbo fronts ot tbe
jaunty-looking corsages. Now tho globular but
tons are out and square onos are in. They aro of
all material pearl, ivory, Jet, silver, and gilt, and
they cost it price dear enough to satisfy anybody.
Ve don't know that square buttons were ever
M'ore in fashion, though fashion us a gonerul
tiling Us constantly lepioduclng itself.
We saw a few duys iliicc, at the house of an
extensive importer, a case of ladies' belt buckles.
'1 bey are of the widest dimensions, and cany a
ribbon fully Ibreo inches wido. They were worn
in the tinns when ladies' waists were located but
a lew inches below the uxilla. They remained
unsold when the fashions changed, just twenty
eight years ago. They wero then packed up ami
consigned to a garret. They were recently re
produced for sale, and were taken by tho retail
trude with such rapidity that In a litiio whilo but
a lew leniained. The buckles in question sold at
a price snllieient to pay twenty-eight years' inte
rest on their original cost, and leave a very hand
some profit beside.
Tub Wkek of I'haviir. The secretaries of
the Kvangelical Alliance have issued their circular
invitation for the Week of Prayer, In January
next. I'liey request that those who propose to
unite in this concert of supplication and praise
will nuke arrangements as soon ns possible for
holding meetings in their respective neighbor
hoods. Tbcy say :
"The time lias again arrived to Invite Christians
of all countries to make arrangements for ob
serving a week of special and united prayer, at tbo
beginning of the coming year. Few niovein :uts
of tho Church of Christ have been more owned
and honored of the Lord than these annual sea
sons of nnited supplications. The Kvangelical
Alliance, therefore, feel IiDpcraiivo'y urged to
renew their invitation, in tbe hope of meeting a
yet larger response than in former yeivrs, and of
obtaining still more abundant spiritual and teai
poial blessings."
The time tixed for the purpose Is from January
1 to January 8.
Btabhino Affair. About 3 o'clock on Sun.
day morning, a freo tight occurred at a drinking
saloon in Ninth street, above Chesnut. Tbe
police rushed In, and found two men, giving the
names of George W. West und Georgo Seymorc,
cngdged in a desperate contest. The two belll
gnciits were conveyed to the Station House,
where It was discovered that West had a severe
stuli in tho back. He was conveyed to tho hos

SuooriNO Affair. Moses Hintz, one of the
hands on board a canal-buat lying at Meade
alley wharf, was arrested on Saturday afternoon
upon the charge of shooting a small boy aged
about eleven years. It seems that anumiicrof

imuoyiDg lliu'it. 1 u latter went down into tbo
cabin, procured a pis'ol, and tired at the lads,
