Important from the Army of the Poto
mac--It Haa Returned to the North Side
of the Rapidan.-Lee , s Position too For
midable to be Carried by Assault.
ILILLDQIIASTAIIS ARMY POTOMAC, )
December 2, 1863. S
The army of the Potomac crossed the 4apidan in
three columns on the 26th of November, and con
centrated the following day . on Mine Run. The
enemy occupied the hill, on the opposite side of the
stream in fail force. ilia position,naturally a very
strong one, was found to be entrenched along his
entire line, his works being a continuation of those
on the Rapidan; to learn which was)the object of
this movement.
The entire casualties will not exceed one thous
and in killed, wounded and missing. A few men
who forded Mill Run and lay on picket daring the
night were frozen and several bodies of rebel skir
mishers were carried to their rear on stretchers the
same morning. With the exception of a few cavalry
the enemy did not attempt to annoy our rear on our
return.
The enemy's position was too formidable to be
carried by assault. The great difficulty of keeping
up the supplies of the troops at this season of the
year at any distance from the railroad, as well as
theimpractioability of the cavalry for military ope
rations, prevented a more extensive movement, and
the army returned to the north side of the Rapidan.
The falling back to our present position was accom
plished without loss of men or property.

The Exchange of Prisoners Correspon..

From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 30.1
Judge Quid recently received a letter from Briga
dier General Meredith, enclosing a communication
from Major General Bitoticook, of which the follow
ing is a copy:
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 13, 1863.
Brig. Gen. S. A. !Verge! an, Commissioner for
.22 - eltange of Prisoners :
host: 1 am not yet informed whether any, or how
far, relief may have reached our unfortunate prison
ers of war in Richmond and its vicinity, under the
orders of the Secretary of War to send supplies to
them of both food and clothing.
Mr. Ould should be notified, for the information of
his Government, that whatever steps may have been,
or may be, taken to extend relief (to the prisoners of
war at Richmond), must, on no consideration, be ap
pealed to by the enemy to relieve him from the ob
ligation to treat the prisoners according to the laws
of civilized warfare. .I.f, in other words, our prison
ers in Richmond fail to receive such supplies as the
laws alike of humanity and war require, the au
thorities in Richmond must be informed that it will
not be considered a valid explanation of excuse for
them to appeal to the fact, should it exist, that sup
plies from us have not reached there.
The action of our Government on this matter is
dictated purely by humanity, and is only an effort
to relieve our prisoners of suffering inflicted upon
them contrary to the claims of both humanity and
the laws of war, and must not be understood as re
lieving the authorities of Richmond from responsi
bility to the Christian world in the premises.
If the authorities in Richmond will send us these
prisoners we will not only feed and olothe them, but
will continue to supply food and clothing, as hereto
fore, to such prisoners as may be in our possession ;
and you will propose to Mr. Ould that in this case
we will agree, without any reserve, to respect the
parole they may give according to the laws of war,
from which they shall not be relieved in view of the
past difference or pending questions on the sub
ject of exchange, without the previously obtained
consent of the authorities represented by Mr. Ould,
as agent for the exchange under the cartel.
You will please no time in communicating a copy
of this note, certified by yourself, to Mr. Ould, and
will urge upon him its acceptance as due to the most
solemn consideration in the face of the civilized
world.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
E. A. HITCHCOCK,
Maj. Gen. Vole. Com'r for Exchange of Prisoners
Judge Ould replied as follows :
RICILISOND, Nov. 18, 1863.
_Brig. Gen. S. A. Meredith, Agent of Exchange:
Sin: The letter of General Hitchcock has been
received. Until the Confederate authorities appeal
to be relieved "from the obligations to treat prisoners
of war according to the laws of civilized warfare," or
" offer, as an explanation or excuse," for insufficient
food, that supplies have not been forwarded by your
Government, it is entirely unnecessary to discuss
what will be the of your authorities in either
contingency. Statements,' most infamously false,
have recently been made and circulated at the North
by persons whose calling should have imposed a re
spect for truth, which their own personal honor seems
to have failed to secure. Our regulations require
that prisoners shall receive the same rations as sol
diers in the field. Such your prisoners have received,
and will continue to receive. Do you ask more?
If so, what do you demand? We recognize, in the
fullest form, our obligation to treat your prisoners
with humanity, and to serve them with the same
food, in quantity and quality, as is given to our own
soldiers. If the supply is scant, you have only to
blame the system of warfare you have waged against
us. There is nothing in the action of the Confeder
ate Government which gives any sort of Countenance
to the charge of cruelty or inhumanity to your pri
soners. In the first place, we have importuned you
to agree to a fair and honest proposition' which would
secure the release of all of them. When that was
rejected, you have been permitted to send, without
stint or limitation, all kinds of supplies to them.
General Hitchcock requests that the prisoners now
in our hands be returned to your lines. This is not
accompanied by any proposition to release our
prisoners now in your hands. So far from that being
the case, he promises " to continue to supply food
and clothing as heretofore " to such. General Hitch
cock need not have urged yon to "lose no time in
communicating" his letter. No degree of haste
would have secured the assent of the Confederate
authorities to a proposition so flagrantly unequal.
We are ready to relieve your Government from
the burden of supplying " food and clothing as here
tofore" to our people in your hands, and if they are
sent to us, yours shall be returned to you—the ex
cess, one side or the other, to be on parole. I hope
you will " urge " on General Hitchcock the accep
tance of this proposition " as due to the most solemn
considerations in the face of the civilized world."
We are content that the " civilized world " should
draw its own conclusions when it contrasts the two
offers. I will thank you to forward this communi
cation to General Hitchcock, or inform him that the
Confederate authorities decline to accept his proposi
tion. Respectfully, your obedient servant,
R. OULD, Agent of Exchange. i
Reported Death of Breekturldge.
~ Dec. 3.
It is reported by deserters, CHATTANOOGA as well as by citizens
arriving here, that Gen. John C. Breckinridge has
died of the wounds he received at the fight at Ring
gold. A son of Breokinridgo and one of his cousins
are among the prisoners captured in the recent en
gagement.
Latest from Gen. Banks.
General Banks has captured Corpus Christi and
other places on the coast of Texas. One of the prin
cipal points taken by him is Arkansas City, near
the pass of that name. This is the place where
Taylor landed, previous to the occupation of Point
Isabel.
The capture of Arkansas City, was made by a force
which marched overland from Brownsville. They
met with bat little opposition. By this move Gen.
Banks secures possession of nearly one-third the
coast of the State of Texas.
DIRECT TAXATION RECOMMENDED.
The New York Journal of Commerce urges
upon the next Congress direct instead of in
direct taxation, and proposes as one method
of increasing the revenue—" a direct tax of
at least fifty millions of dollars should be laid
upon assessed property. It may be so ar
ranged as to be collected without any addi
tional machinery, and should be apportioned
among the several States according to the
provisions of the Constitution. This would
have been done two years ago but for more
party considerations. It will be felt as a
burden, but all taxation is burdensome, and
this would be a fair division of the weight.
The tax-payers would grumble, but this is
their privilege, and they could not complain
of injustice, since the assessment is one which
has been perfected by years of trial 'and ex
parlance."
COMBINATION OF COAL DEALERS.
The Bulletin Pumenzi.pme, Dec. 4.
publishes : We
have learned this afternoonthe followin
from the a g ent " of a
steamboat company that he has been endeavoring
to-day to purchase one thousand tons of coal, but
thus far unsuccessfully, lie has received informa
tion that a meeting of coal operators was held last
evening, at which it was resolved, in order to keep
up the present high price, to suspend mining opera
tion'. The suspension was to commence immediate
but It was finally determined that it should not
commence until the 14th of December."
.6017ZRIVElfraT E PILDEDIT OBES.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sri* writes, on the 23d of November, as follows:
' 4 As the opinion is semi-officially promulgated
and reiterated that the estimates of the budget for
the next fiscal year will be $1,200,000,000, (those
for the Navy - Department alone being about $l5O,
000,000;we can approximate the total Government
expenditnre from the beginning of the war to the
end of the fiscal year in 1865. For the several ses
sions they are as follows for definite objects: For
extra session of 1861, $265,150,000; for regular ses
sion of 1861, $894,000,000; for regular session of
1862-3, $973,120,000—t0ta1, $2,133,170,000 ; add for
estimates for the next fiscal year, $ 1 ,200,000,0011--
total, $3,333,170,000."
We beg our readers to dwell for a moment on these
figures. Our appropriations under Mr. Lincoln's
Administration already amount to two thousand
one hundred and thirty-three millions of dollars.—
The next fiscal year, beginning on the first day of
July, 1884, is to cost us twelve hundred millions
making a total of upwards of three thousand three
hundred and thirty-three millions. This may be
set down as the cost of Mr. Lincoln's Administration
—eclipsing the entire expenditures of the Govern
ment from its first organization, under Washington,
down to the close of Mr. Buchanan's term !
The total expenditures of the Government daring
the seventy-two years preceding the inauguration of
Mr. Lincoln's Administration was $2,235,677,161.
The bum of $424,516,447, included in this amount,
was for the reduction of the public debt, and should
be deducted in order to arrive at the gctual expendi
tures of the Government. Making this , deduction
we have, as the total actual expenditure, $1,811,-
161,714. This is what it cost us to support our Gov
ernment, carrying it through two foreign wars, from
the day on which George Washington was inaugu
rated down to the day on which James Buchanan
left the Presidential office—a slim much smaller than
has already been expended by Mr. Lincoln, and then
but little more than half as large as his Administra
tion will have cost us when he retires from office, on
the 4th of Match, 1865.
These are startling figures, bat they should be
pondered by the American people. Are we not!pay
ing dearly for four years of Abolition rule ?—Provi
dente Post.
USED UP
The New York Tribune thus describes Secretary
Seward as be appeared passing through that city :
The Secretary, never very robust or radiant with
health, looked uncommonly thin, pale and careworn,
as though the labors and responsibilities of office
were making inroads upon his constitution.
And yet this palsied, broken-down political hack,
trembling on the very verge of the grave, dared at
his home in Auburn, to threaten the people of the
North with anarchy, revolution and bloodshed, if
they refused to elevate Lincoln anew to the Presi
dential chair. lie declared that if the election went
against them, his partizans would not submit,—and
talked as if he were destined to live forever, and for
him there was no judgment and no just people nor
avenging God!
Previous to. Lincoln's election, he said it was the
road to tranquility and peace. Previous to his now
swift coming defeat at the next Presidential elec
tion, he proclaims that it will be the beginning of
greater and wider convulsions. He knew he cheated
and deceived the hopes of the people before. He
equally knows that he is seeking to cheat them
through their fears to-day.
VOTING IS NOT ENOUGH
The New York Times says
The people have pronounced grandly for breaking
down the rebellion by war. Now let them see to it
that the government has the means wherewith to do
it. Mere voting, without corresponding action,
would be hardly less than a mockery. If Valan
digham and Woodward and Seymour had been
elected, there might have been some consistency in
hesitating to respond to the call of the President for
more men. Such results might have been plausibly
held out as such a condemnation of the war policy
of the administration as to make any further in
crease of the army inexpedient. But the people
having sanctioned the policy, are bound to aid in its
consummation. The same ardor which they ex
hibited at the polls, they should now apply to the
raising of volunteers.
We fully agree with the Times. Mere voting,
without corresponding action, is no better than " a
mockery." Let those therefore who " voted " for
the Administration, throng to its support with arms
and in the field. The people who have sanctioned
the policy, let it be echoed and re-echoed in their
ears, " are bound to aid in its consummation.',
"The same ardor which they exhibited at the polls ,
they should now apply to the raising of volunteers."
There is now no excuse for a majority of between
five and six thousand in this county refusing to fill
up the quota required from the district. They will
still, if the vote was honest, have enough men left
at home to watch and meet the Copperheads. Be_
sides, if it be necessary for political purposes, the
very " loyal " men who enlist can be furloughed
home in time to vote!

THE WEATHER AND SNOW STORNS.—At Erie, Pa.,
on yesterday week, the ground was covered with
snow to the depth of eighteen inches. Sleigh bells
were also ringing merrily in Dunkirk, N. Y. on that
day. The train from Oswego to Syracuse on Tues
day morning was detained over an hour by the snow.
On the track along the northern half of the road the
snow was a foot in depth. At Cleveland, Ohio, on
Monday, the ground was covered with snow to the
depth of six inches. The young men and maidens
of St. Paul, Minnesota, are enjoying the luxury of
skating on a lake in that city known by the romantic
name of t , Lake Como." The weather in lowa is
very cold for the season. On the 28th ult., the ther
mometer stood at 15 degrees above zero. At Wheel
ing, West Virginia, the hydrants were so tightly fro
zen as to atop the supply of water. Wheeling creek
was also frozen over; and boys walking on the ice.
At Manchester, N. H., the cotton mills ex
tend for miles, lofty, compact, and handsome build
ings, surrounded by a population of twelve thousand
persons, all connected with the faotories. Handsome
streets, commanding brick buildings, and an air of
excessive neatness and comfort prevailing every
where, give indisputable evidence of prosperity and
contentment. Some, if not all of these establish
ments, have since the war made tremendous profits
—one of them in particular has realized a million of
dollars net within the last twelve months.
What a Godsend has the war been to the proprie
tors, and what ardent "loyalists" they are, praying
and pleading for a continuance of the war and the
good times it7brings to them. But what of the
laborers ?—is their wages increased in proportion
ABOLITION ISDI RUN MAUI
Rev. Dr. TYNG, in his speech at the late
negro meeting„❑ the Cooper Institute, New
York, said:
" In all those qualities that adorn the man
and dignify the woman, the black man and
the black woman shine as exalted and glorious
as any white man or white woman in the land.
(Applause.) The time has come when we are
to take them cordially by the hand and say of
every one of them, " It is my brother, it is my
sister, it is my fellow citizen." The very rights
that I have he shall have ; the very claims I
make for myself I will make for him ; the re
spect I demand he shall receive ; the coun
tenance I require I will myself extend to
him."
A lIIISTAILE
A rumor prevailed in town for several days
last week that Peter Walsh, Esq., one of the
representatives of this county in the Legis—
lature, had been killed on the railroad some—
where near Elmira, N. Y. We are glad of
the opportunity to state that such is not the
faot. We saw a brother of Mr. Walsh on
Friday, who informed us that Peter, in step—
ping from the wrong side of the car at Ithaca,
was considerably hurt, that one or two of his
ribs had been broken, but that he was in a
fair way of recovering. We hope, therefore,
not only to see Mr. Walsh in a short time
fully restored to health, but that he will be
enabled to discharge his duties the coming
Winter as efficiently as ever.—Luzerne Union.

WELL PAID VOLUNTEERS.
The Massachusetts volunteers, under the
bounty act just published by the General
Court, will probably be the best paid troops
in the world. The amount of bounty and pay
to be received for three years' service, by a
soldier who has previously been in the army
nine months or more, if he has a family of not
lees than three persons dependent on his labors
for support, is as follows : United States
bounty, $402 ; the Commonwealth's bounty,
$325; pay, $468 ; rations, $324 ; clothing,
$126; aid to family, $432 ; total, $2,077.
If instead of $325 in hand from the State he
accepts the offer of $2O per month increase of
pay, he will receive $445 more than the sum
above, making a total of $2,522.
sW - • The property of the late Senator
Douglrb at Chicago, known as Cottage Grove,
was sold on Saturday week, on a mortgage
foreclosure. The estate sold embraced about
sixty acres, on which there was an indebted
ness, principal and interest, of $83,963. The
prices realized fell far short of the real value,
the bulk of the property being bought in by
the mortgage.
A Goon Exam.Lß.—The Lebanon Courier states
that a gentleman of that place received a letter a
few days ago, enclosing $25 from some unknown in
dividual, who stated that the money was due.
Honest gentleman! Faithful, noble conscience!
Bully for both. Query : was it a printer's bill ?
We know of people to whom we wish a similar twinge
of conscience.

MORE TAXES
It is announced that the excise duties on
distilled spirits are to be largely increased,
and it is probable that this advance is but
one of many others. The revenue of the
country from foreign duties is still very con
siderable, but as the premium on gold 'goes
up imports will fall off, and the deficiency
will have to be supplied by direct taxation.

MAGIC TIME OBSERVERS.
Being a Hunting or Open Face or Lady's or Gentleman's
Watch Combined, with Patent Selt - Minding Improve
ment, a most Pleasing Novelty.
One of the prettiest, most convenient, and decidedly the
best and cheapest time-piece for general and reliable weever
offered. It has within it and connected with its machinery,
its own winding attachment, rendering a key entirely un
necessary. The cases of this Watch are composed of two
metals, the outer one being fine 16 carat gold. It has the
improved ruby action lever movement, and is warranted
an accurate time-piece. Price, superbly engraved, per case
of half dozen, $254. Sample Watches, in next morocco
boxer, $35.
SILVER WATCHES!
First Class Hunting Timepieces for accuracy of
movement, beauty material, and, above all,
cheapness in price, these watches must insure universal
approbation.
An imitation so faultless that it can hardly be detected
by the most experienced judges. The material being of
two metals, the ester one first quality Sterling Silver,
while the inner one is German Silver, it cannot be recog
nized by cutting or heavy engraving, making it, not only
in appearance, but in durability, the best resemblance of
SOLID STERLING SILVER in existence.
The sale of these Watches in the army is a source of
enormous profit, retailing, as they very readily do, at $2B
and upwards. Many hundred dollars can be made in a
single pay day by any one of ordinary business tact.

Dr. WhifileLd--Si r I had been afflicted with a very
severe cold on the breast for three or four week., and had
tried different domestic and patent remedies without any
benefit. From your recommendation I was induced to try
Mahler's Bitters. lam happy to say they had the desired
effect—and I am better than I have been for a long time.
I have also need the Bitters for a severe Diarhote and they
completely cured me. No one should be without them. I
am determined to have some in the hones all the time.
Yours respectfully,

Dr. Whitfield—Sir: This is to certify that I have been
afflicted with the Rheumatism for many years, and have
tried many things eald to be cures without any relief. I
am employed drying mod for the P. B. It, and having to
be In the damp and steam nearly all the time, I wan
afraid that rnever would get well again. One of my arms
has been so bad that I was afraid I would lose the use of
it altogether; it was so weak and painful that I bad to
raise it with my other hand whenever I wished to change
lta position. The bottle of Mishlees Herb Bitters I got
from you the other day, has so much relieved me that I
can now raise my arm without difficulty and it Is getting
as strong as ever.
From the wonderful improvement it has made in my
health, I can recommend Mishier's Herb Bitters with the
greatest confidence to all those affiicted with the Rheuma

The Secretary of the Treasury has not yet given notice
of any Intention to withdraw thle popular Loan from Sale
at Par, and until ten days notice is given, the undersigned,
as " General Subscription Agent," will continue to supply
the public.
7 be whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five Hun
dred Millions of Dollars. Nearly your Hundred Millions
have been already subscribed for and paid Into the Trees
riry, meetly within the last seven months. The large de..
mend from abroad, and the rapidly increasing home
demand for use as the basis for circulation by National
Banking Aseociations now organizing in all parts of the
country, will, in a very short period, absorb the balance.
Stales have lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions week
ly, frequently exceeding three millions daily, and as it to
I well known that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample
and unfailing resources in the Duties on Imports and In
ternal Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest bearing
Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it Is almost a certainty that
he will not And it necessary, for a long time to come,
to seek a market for any other long or permanent Loans,
THE INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARE
PAYABLE IN GOLD
Prudence and self interest must force the minds of those
contemplating the formation of National Banking Associ
ations, as well as the minds of all who have idle money on
their hands, to the prompt conchision that they should
lose no time in subscribing to this most popular Loan. It
will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a band-
some premium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty"
Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be sub
scribed for at par.
It is a Six per Cent. Loan, the Interest and Principal
payable in Coin, thus yielding over Nine per Cent. per an
num at the present rate of premium on coin.
The Government requires all duties on imports to be paid
in Coin; these duties have for a long time past amounted
to over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars daily, a sum near
ly three times greater than that required In the payment
of the interest on all the 5.20's and other permanent
Loans. So that it is hoped that the surplus Coln in the
Treasury, at no distant day, Will enable the United States
to 'amine specie payments upon all liabilities.
The Losn is called 5.20 from the fact that whilst the
Bonds may ran for 20 years, yet the Government has a
right to pay them off in Gold at par, at any time after 5
years.
The Interest is paid half-yearly, via: on the first days
of November and May.
Subscribers can bate Coupon Bonds, which are payable
to bearer, and are $5O, $lOO $5OO, and $lOOO ; or Registered
Bonds of same denominations, and in addition, $5,000 and
$lO,OOO. For Banking purposes and for investment of
Trust monies the Registered Bonds are preferable.
These 5 20's cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns or
counties, and the Government tax on them la only one and
a half per cent, on the amount of income, when the in
come of the bolder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per annum;
ail other investments, such as income from Mortgagee,
Railroad Stock and Bonds, etc, must pay from three to
live per cent. tax on the income.
Hanks and Bankers throughout the Country will con
tinue tedispose of the Bonds; and all orders by mall, or
otherwiSe, promptly attended to.
The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the delivery
of the Bonds is unavoidable, the demand being so great;
but as interest commenced from the day of subscription,
no loss Is occasioned, and every effort is being made to
diminish the delay. JAY COOKE,
