FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1863.
The jHews.
From the Department of the Ohio we
have good news. General Burnside has
been able to hold his, position at Knox
ville, iiTenn., against Longstreet, and the
latter, finding that he could not effect any-
thing in that quarter, has fallen back to
await reinforcements and prevent himself
troqi being .cut off by the advancing army
trom Chattanooga, i Where Longs treet’s
reinforcements are to- come from is not
stated. It is evident 'from the manner in
which Gen. Meadd'is pushing Lee back
towards that no men can be*
spared from that army, and the severe
drubbing which Bragg has received from
Gen, Thomas’ army, in front ’of Chatta
nooga, renders it certain that he can get
none from that quarter. Burnside’s po
sition is therefore perfectly secure.
The last engagement at Chattanooga
has been a most brilliant one for the arms
of the .Union; Over six thousand priso
ners have been captured, 50 pieces of
artillery, over seven thousand stand of
small arms and 10 battle-flags have been
captured, besides driving the enemy over
twenty-seven miles from the position oc
cupied when the battle commenced. Our
loss'fjas been about 4,000 men, while that
of the enemy has been, much heavier.—
General Bragg will'attempt a stand at
Tunnell Hill. A new campaign is being
projected and will be out during
the present mpnth.
From the Army of the Potomac we
have but little news. The present move-1
meats of Gen. Meade are withheld from
the public for the reason that several of|
his plans have been frustrated by pre-;
mature publication in the daily papers.—
It is evidently the design of Gen. Meade to
force-Gen. Lee to a battle. There will be:
some hard fighting in that neighborhood i
ere long. We hope the next battle may:
be a repetition of Gettysburg.
We hare nothing from Gen, Butler in
North Carolina. He is evidently prepa
ring to co-operate witn Gen. Meade or
Gen. Burnside. In either case he will
make his mark.
From Charleston we have. rumors that
the city has been burning for several days
and that the fire is kept up by shells con
stantly thrown into it by Gen. Gilmore. It
is also reported that the greater portion
of the garrison of Fort Sumter were killed
by‘the falling of the remaining wall of the
Fort, under which they had taken shelter.
Gen. Banks is doing good work down
in Texas. He took possession of Corpus
Christ!, a few days since, and has put
a stop to running the blockade by cap
turing a number of vessels', among them
a British ship loaded with valuable stores
and several thousand dollars in gold for
the rebels in that section.
Taking all these things into considera
ation, the rebel cause appears rather
hopeles at this, time. 1 The days of the
Contederaqy are numbered.
Enlarged and Improved.—ThePitts
burgU Evening Chronicle, one of the very
brat daily papers published, has been ma
terially enlarged, and improved, notwith
standing the increased price of Almost every
article required by publishers. We al
ways regarded it as one of the best neivs
papers on our "exchange list, and ,the va
riety, in the way of selections, evinces
care and good judgment. Those who
want a real live daily newspaper—one
which, will not only give them the latest

•BU“There wa» » sight to be seen in broad day
light a few days ago, in . front of the Presidential
mansion, which gave those w|o witnessed it a shock
ing idea of {he onward strides which the vice of
intemperance hashtadein good society daring the
last few years. A woman clad in the richest and
most fashionable garments, -pith diamonds flash
ing from her slender fingers ;in the slant Western
sunshine, sat upon the stone > balustrade, unable to
proceed on her homeward wplk without betraying
herself. At last she rose and started on, sway
ing to and fro, and yet soonjrested utterly unable
ito proceed. The carriage of a 'foreign'minister
1 passed, by—the poor woman] was noticed—and it
turned, stopped, took in thejlady, and carried her
;to her luxurious home. Par the ladv is wealthy
and occupies a high social position,. [but she was
drunk iu tne streets of Washington. ’*
The qbove is extracted from the
Washington correvpondence of the New
York Independent. If is a lamentable
picture of high life jin the Capitol of
the Nation, and deeply to be regretted.
But it is no more lamjentable than the
ignorance, prejudice and falsehood which
characterizes the opponents of the present
Administration, The paper from which
we clip the above extract, prefaces it with
a few editorial remarks in which it charges
the Administration with being the cause
of this woman getting drunk. Could
ignorance or prejudice! concoct-a more
base or silly falsehood, jit shows to what
extremes bad men will go to accomplish
their purposes. The editor who indicted
the article referred to, if he knows any
thing, knows well enough that the Ad
ministration bad no more to do with that
woman’s -being drunk, than it lias to do
with the irise and fall of j the water s of the
Juniata. The desire tojinjure and vilify,
when there was no cause, is too transparent
in this instance. As well might the Ad
ministration be charged with causing the
editor to falsifiy as -with making a
womam drunk. It will be well for the
editor, at last, if lie can |succeed in shift
ing from his shoulders, placing upon
those of the Anmimstrajtion, all the sins
of which he has been guilty. The an
nouncement has not yet been made, otfi
cialy, that the Administration is the scape
goat of the Nation or of jindividuals.
of John Morgan.
John Morgan and fivp oflicers confined
with him in the Ohio Penitentiary, at Co
lumbus, Fricjay night last, by
digging through the floor| of their cell, get
ting into a sewer, coming out at the river,
dressing themselves as citizens, (in clothes
furnished by their sympathizers) getting
on the railroad and making their way to
Toronto, Canada, where Itlicy arririved on
Monday last. The Philadelphia Inquirer
makes the following allusion to the escape
of this noted guerilla:—l
ith such expedition was ibis hegira arranged
hy his hosts of friends and tidmirers, that lie ar
rived in Toronto in titne to reafl the fust announce
ment of his escape in the evening papers of that
city." Although Morgan led ai successful career as
a guerilla, and baffled for twenty mouths all at
tempts at his overthrow or capture, it must be ac
knowledged that his movements of the past three
Mays constitute the most brilliant raid of Ids entire
record. Captured in Ohio, Confined in the State
Penitentiary, guarded hy her Soldiers, surrounded
by officers of the State and General Government,
this incipient “ mudsill" dug himself out of jail!
crawled through a common sewer, clambered up
the banks of the muddy Scihta, and successfully
ran the gauntlet of one hundred and fifty miles of
a crowded railroad thoroughfare: As a’sequel to
this exploit, he will probably: proceed to Halifax
and book himself for Wilmington, North Carolina,
via. the “Anglo-Rebel regular Nassau line.”
P. S A Toronto paper,denies that Mor
gan has arrived there. ’
A “ Volcanic Demon” is Richmond.— The
Richmond Examiner of the 24th alleges the dis
coveir of a plot which has been recently matured
for the liberation of the ■ Union prisoners in that
city, and adds that General Foster, recently com
manding the Department;.of Worth Carolina and
East Virginia, was aware of the existence of such a
plot and gave it aid and countenance, promising to
have a force of cavalry ready to protect the rear of the
released prisoners, and to supply them with arms
tO enable them to cut thejr way to Fortress Mon
roe. The Examiner continues: ‘'The plot, it lias
jieen further learned, included jthe destruction of
the arsenals, government works, the important
bridges across the James’ andi the gunboats at tbe
navy yard at Rocketts. We will not intimate that
this destructive programme could have been carried
out, but would rather congratulate the citizens of
Richmond on their delivery frokn the barest iiossi
bility of such frightful scenes aii must have ensued
had t(ie plot ripened into openj revolt. Few who
slept soundly in their homes ad: night were aware
or even dreamed of the volcanicidemon that feigned
slumber .in their midst, only wuanting for the signal
to burst the cords of mililary restraint and riot in
flame and blood."
Alabama luon INTEK»ST».-a-From a war of the
character in which we are now engaged, says the
Selma (Alabama) Disjuitch, there are but few
i beneficial results to be obtained. Among the few
benefits of this desolating war: looms up the im
.mense developments of our mineral resources. By
the falling back ofßragg tothe jSeorgia line we lost
the use of all the extensive of Tennessee and
Northern Georgia, which left |ts but the almost
untried ore fields of Alabama ajnd North Carolina,
the Western Virginia works being lost to us early
in the war. Alabama, tliough jrich iri minerals of
aU.kiuds, had lacked the necessary energy and en
terprise to develop its w’ealth. r ” ,

Profitable Investments.
The Philadelphia Korth American gives
some excellent advice to those who wish
to invest money. It is well for all who
are in funds to heed the counsel. It
says: —
“Though money has been temporarily scarce,
capital continues abundant; arid the recent tum
ble in the stock market has brought capitalists to
a realizing sense of the unreliable character of
many of the securities dealt in. It is greatly to
the credit of the Government that its loans, of all
the securities daily dealt in on the market, have
maintained their integrity of price better than
almost anything else. Its Five Twenty year six
; per cent, loan, rile interest on which is promptly
; paid in gold, has been subscribed to, although the
pressure in the money market, at an average of
more than two inillions per day. And what is not
j the least gratifying fact in connection with the
: daily large Subscriptions to this popular loan,
; scarcely any of it is returned to the market for
1 sale. It is taken for investment, and is held with
unfaltering confidence in its reliability. And why
I should it not be? It is seen that the Government
; now, after two years of the most gigantic war that
, the world has ever known, experiences no difficulty
; in commanding the necessary means to prosecute
; it, or in paying regularly the interest in gold as it
: falls due. If this can.be done while the war is
| being waged, who can anticipate any difficulty in
; readily accomplishing it when the war shall be
, ended ? What better investment then, for capital.
; than the “ Five Twenty” Government loan ? But
I if aiiy doudt, let him refer to' the statistics furn
| ished by the census tables of the variousiuttions of
. the world. The facts which they present will
' prove the most satisfactory majde of dispelling the
numberless gloomy apprehensions which are being
continually conjured up by those who are disposed
j to exaggerate the extent of thejcalamity occasioned
|by our rebellion. A reference to the state of most
i of the prosperous nations of the old world clearly
i disproves such a position, and shows that the high
| cst conditions of national advancement have not
| been materially affected by the extended wars in
I which those nations have beep immemorially en
: (-'aged, and that a heavy national indebtedness has
not proved an unmitigated cvi|.
| “ For instance, Great Britain, France and the
1 Netherlands will undoubtedly be conceded to rep
resent the highest prosperity that has been attained
by any of the European nations. And yet no
nations have been called upon to endure fiercer or
more prolonged wars, domestic and foreign, than
they. The effect has been, unquestionably, to
incur an enormous national indebtedness; but
neither their wars nor their indebtedness have had
the effect to destroy their elasticity, nor to cheek
the progress of their general prosperity. The re
sult would have been different, probably, if these
nations had beet) falling into decay, instead of
being, as they really were, in a state of develop
ment ; and in this respect their case resembles our
own, with enormous advantages in our favor.—
These nations, while undergoing the trials of war,
were opposed by the evils of an immense exodus
of their pcqple. caused by the density of their pop
ulation, the impossibility to provide occupation for
them, the low price of labor, and the scarcity of
territory. Compared with our own eouutrv. thev
possessed slight room for future development: thev
were settled in every part, and no vast tcrriVorv,
lay invitingly open to encourage enterprise and
settlement. Their great problem has ever been
what to do with their surplus population, which,
iu its turn, has sought new fields for adventure
and self support in countries like our own. where
an illimitable territory waits to he developed, and
where incalculable resources invite industrv and
energy. The encouragement to be derived from
these facts and comparisons of, circumstances is
very great, and to the mind of any dispassionate
reasoner is conclusive that the course of this great
country is onward and upward, and that its credit
will live unimpaired to the end.”
“ Murder Will Oct."—E. C. Morris, a weal
thy citizen of Madison. Illinois, has been arrested,
charged with murdeing a map nearly nine years
ago. The arrest was made on the affidavit of E.C.
Clark. The Illinois State Register gives the fol
lowing particulars of the case;—ln 185.5, Clark and
Morris were out hnnting together, and Clark’s tes
timony is that they came across a man in the woods,
and that Morris drew up his-gun and shot him.
The two together then buried the murdered victim
and took a solemn oath never to reveal the secret.
The oath has been keptfor nearly nine years. But,
“murder will out.” Clark’s conscience continued
to cry out against him and disturbhim with visions
of ghosts by night and compunctions of dread and
horror by day. Ho could stand it no longer and
hence the oath bound secret, so long locked up in
his troubled breast, was published to the world.
Morris, now that the murder has been exposed,
accuses Clark of hvaing committed the foul deed,
but admits that he helped to bury the victim, and
that they had sworn together never to reveal the
secret. It is said that Morris and Clark recently
quarreled about some business matters, and that
Clark made the expose on this account. After
the preliminary examination before the justice of
the peace, Clark and Morris both pointed out the
place where they had .buried the murdered man.
His bones were found- and exhumed. The name
ol the unfortunate victim has not been learned.,
We have also heard that the murdered man was
a kind of a railroad contractor, and that he had in
his possession at the time of his death some $7,000,
which was divied between the two, but as to its
correctness we cannot say.
