E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. TOWANDA: Thursday Morning, January 8, 1863. CAPTURE OF MURFREESBORO AND VICKS BURG. The result*>f the five day's battle at Mur freesboro is at length officially and most satis factorily announced. General Rosecrans des patched to the War Department a full history of the protracted contest, which ended on Sat urday iu the total defeat of the rebel army and their disorderly flight towards Tuilahoma. General Rosecrans says that he would occupy the town and push on the pursuit on Monday, wb'cii was commenced by the centre of our lines on Sunday. The fighting was almost continuous from Tuesday to Saturday. Oa Sunday morning the enemy commc-uced to re treat, and the movement was made known to General Rosecrans at seven o'clock. The loss es on our side are one thousand killed and five tbousauu five hundred wounded, iu hospital. The above cheering news from Tennessee is enhanced by the intelligence of the success of General Sherman at Vicksburg. Our troops are in possession of the city, after a series of desperate battles. The expedition landed on the Yu7.no river on the 2Gth u!t., under cover of the gunboats, after having shelled the rebel batteries at Haines' Bluff, which was formula bly fortified and well defended. The gunboat Benton was pretty severely riddled by the ene my's shot, and her commander, Capt. Gwiun, badly hurt. The enemy had seven batteries of rifled guns mounted on these bluffs, and made a stubborn resistance for more than an hour. • We have the authority of ILo Memphis Bulletin for the fact that fighting had been going on for five days, commencing on Wednes day. Up to Monday morniug General Sher man had captured three lines of the enemy's works. The firing on the fourth and last line of defence on the Jackson and Vicksburg road had ceased, and the indications were that this line—jnst two miles from Vicksburg—had sur rendered. Before taking the fortifications General Sherman sent a biigade to cut off communication with the city by the Shreve port Railroad—work which was successfully accomplished. lie was reinforced on Sunday night by nine thousand men from General Grant's army, byway of the river. The whole of the Union force at Vicksburg is now about forty thousand men. General Grant telegraphs to the War De partment a confirmation Gf the news of the occupation cf Vicksburg by our forces, from a rebel source—t'ue Grenada Appcr.l. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. Advices from Gen. Blunt states that lie occupied Van Buren, the Rebels having re treated on Tuesday night toward Arkadelphia abandoning their wounded at Fort Smith.— Our troops in the Indian Territory have driv en the Rebels under Coffee and Stewart across the Arkansas at Fort Gibson. The Indians are anxious to re-establish their loyal status. Ilindmau's correspondents was captured at Van Buren. His army is wretchedly desti tute. The newspapers have advices from Fortress Monroe of the departure of another important sea-going expedition. Gen. Xaglee's division was embarked on transports at Yorktown and Gloucester Point on the Gist, and spent their New Year's Pay at Hampton [loads. Many other transports, loaded with troops, stores, &e., arrived, and have joined the expedition. The ileet put to sea on the 31st, and com prises enough men of all arms to hold ai y point on the Southern coast. The destina tion is supposed to be North Carolina ; but as a number of iron-dads accompany it it may go to some important Southern port. The flagship is the steamer Woodbury, which has Gen. Naglee and staff on board. We have very important uews from East Tennessee. The Lynchburg Republican of Thursday states that a body of 5,000 Union cavalry, composed of one Pennsylvania regi ment, and others unknown, have destroyod iiine miles of the East Tennessee and Yirgin ia Railroad, burning the important bridges over the Ilolston ar.d Wutawga Rivers, and capturiug 200 Rebel cavalry who were guard ing the former. The Republican says it will take several weeks to repair the damages, at a time when the road is taxed to its utmost capacity. It characterizes the Yankee raid of nearly a hundred miles as one of unexpect ed daring and activity. A disparch to Chicago states that the Un ion Cavalry, under Col. Dickey, have destroy ed a long stretch of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, from Sultiilo to Okalona, in North- Eastern Mississippi. This, if true, is a very important fact, as it cuts Bragg off from Mobile. Balloon rcconnoissauce3 show that a con siderable portion of the Rebel forces in front of Fredericksburg have gone off—probably to help Bragg at Murfreesboro. If the story of the railroad breaking in East Tennessee is true, they have started too late. Navy has suffered a serious loss by the sinking cf the famous Monitor, south of Cape llatteras. She was going south, in tow of the steamer Rhode Island, when foul weather came on, the Mouitor sprung a leak early on Ibursday morning, and went down in a few hours. Two officers and uit:e men are missing, probably lost. Several men are ulso missing from the Rhode Island. Letter Irom Col. H. J. Bladill, 141 st P. Y. C'AMP BEFOKE FREDERICKSBURG, HOC. 24,15G2. We moved from our camp at 8 o clock on Saturday inorniDg, marched to the river, where we stacked our arms, and the men allowed to ; rest for an hour. i While in this position we had a fine view of • the battle that was raging below us. It com menced on the right in the morning at seven I o'clock, and at this time our forces were all ' engaged under General Sumner at Fredericks burg. We could see whole lines march up to the works of the etiemy, with a firm and un broken front, to be scattered aud driven back by the murderous Gre of the enemy. Thus line after line of oar brave troops were hurled against the impregnable breast works of the enemy, and were as often compelled to fall back, bitterly decimated. At this time the battle was opened on the left by Gen. Reynolds, of Franklin's Grand Division, and as usual the Reserves were push ed to the front. Right nobly did they bear themselves, as they marched across the ravine and deployed into liue of battle just beyond, on the crest of the hill. At this point the Gth Regiment was ordered to deploy four of its companies as skirmishers, and Capt. GORE was ordered to take command of them, push theui forward, and ascertain the positiou of the enemy, which was done as the Gth do everything, in gallant style. They drew the skirmishers of the enemy over the hill, across the railroad into the woods, where the skir mishers of the enemy were reinforced by their reserves. Ilere the tight became furious. The enemy being reinforced aud under cover of a thick wood, poured a ruinous fire of musketry into the skirmishers. They were reinforced, and the fight became general between the ene my's forces and Gen. .Meade's Division, (the Reserves.) The battle raged here for about two hours, furiously. Gen. Meade's Division sustained itself nobly against greatly superior numbers during all this time, and were at length compelled to fall back, for want of timely sup port, though nobly they done their duty. Let the record speak : they lost over 2,200 men. It was during this time that we were stand ing on the hill, silent but painful spectators of the battle raging just beyond us, that the bu gle sounded " fall in." Our men took their aims, and run tff ia a double quick to join their friends on the other side of the river, who were struggling so manfully with a much superior foe. Wo crossed the river on"The bridge (pon toon) o miles below the city,(Fredericksburg,) and marched directly to the field of battle.— The field in which the battle was raging now, was a mile and a quarter from the river. Our men marched in double quick time. I think it was the hardest march they ever made. The Oat was quite muddy, and the men sack to their shoe-tops every step. Each man carried his knapsack and all ids accoutrements, which but added to the difficulty of marching, and I believe that if we had not been marching to the battle field, I would not have been able to have gotten more than one-half of the men on in the same time. My line fell out, not to ex ceed sor 0. At this time the enemy discov ered our advance, and began to welcome us with solid shot, shell, grape and canister, with which they gave us a rather warm greeting. Several shell and solid shot .fell among our ranks, but prpvidentially, done but little in jury. I believe that Sergeant Jones of Com pany I>, was the only person that received any serious injury in our march from the river to the rood. lie was struck by a solid shot. It broke three of his ribs and injured him other wise internally, though not mortally. At this point we met the Reserves, who were retiring from the field. It was very hot at this point. The enemy had brought two batteries to bear, so that they enfiladed the road that we muJ cross to get into the field ; but there was no faltering by the men. They closed up in fine order, and crossed in double quick time, stepping aside only to avoid tramp ing on the dead or dying body of a fellow sol dicr, who had just fallen from the ranks of the Regiment immediately in front. The shell and shot fell around us like hail, and men fell as the grain falls before the sickle. It was a terrible ordeal through which to pass a Reg iment of new troops, who never had been un der fire. Rut they passed it nobly, gallantly: not a nmn faltered or hesitated, but closed up and pushed en. It was at this point thai a man lruui Co. G had his head taken off by a shell, and another severely wounded. Gy thi> time we bad reached within a hundred yards of the Reb's lines. They were advancing upon Randolph's Battery, for the purpose of charg ing on it, and would have captured it, had it not been for the timely approach of our Di vision. The enemy were driven back, and we took possession cf the Ridge. We occupied the right of the second line of hattie, —the first line composed of the 114 th, 20: 11 Indiana and 03d Pa. ; the 21 do.. 141 st, lOoth and 03 1 Pa. We marched on the field by the flank The way was so crowded by the retiring troops that it was impossible to march on in any other way. We formed our Hue of battle under a very heavy fire from the enemy'? batteries in front of us, who opened on us with grape and shell. The timi were ordered to cover, that is, to lie down on the ground to avoid the shell, etc. They lay there for 3 hours ou their '.aces, during which time eight shell struck in the ranksoimoug the men, and had they exploded,the companies among whom they fell would have been bitterly decimated. One struck in the 114 th Regiment, a few feet in advance of us, and killed and wounded nine men. Oar men lay in that position all the after noon. The enemy never ceased their fire upon us until vlark. We lay on our arms in this line until Monday morning 10 o'clock, expect ing an attack from the enemy every moment. I received an order during Sunday night to hand two hundred men and one field officer in to the ditch, in advance of our lines, and with in 20 rods of the enemy's line of pickets. I detailed Major Spalding and six commissioned officers to take command of them. They re lieved the pickets there at 5 o'clock Monday morning. It was in and near this ditch that the 57ih Reg't, P. V , suffered so terribly on Saturday. The ditch was still filled with the dead ar.d wounded. Our men helped some of them out during the morning. Our min occupied this ditch until 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning, when they left it, alter all the other troops had crossed. Maj. Spal ding deserves a great deal of praise for the coolness and efficiency manifested in extricat ing his command from their delicate position. During the time they were in front, our men rr.ado an arrangement with theßebs that they would not fire if they would Dot, which was acceded to, and the rest of the day passed in peace by the pickets. Daring the two nights we were lying ou the field, it was most painful to listeu to the piti ful cries of the wounded for help, and for wa ter, and 110 persou able to go to their assis tance. Thus it is that many of our poor, brave soldiers die—die from want and exposure. It is oue of the many barbarities of war—a cursed war that is desolating one of the mightiest and happiest nations the sun ever shone on. It is well for you at home, as yon sit around your happy firesides, to speculate on the suffer ing and the bravery of our soldiers - f to criti cise the conduct of meu and officers ; to pass an opinion upon the bravery of this man, on the capacity of that, for the position he holds —in fact to hold yourselves as censors of the men who are devoting their lives to the inter csts of their country ; but if you wonld come upon the field with us for a while, and share with us our couch in the mud, or on the hard ruts of the frozen ground, and share with us our meals of sour coffee and hard crackers, and march from 10 to 15 miles in the mud to your shoe-tops each day for a few days, I think you all would be less zealous in your criticisms in regard to the conduct of this war, and es pecially as to the tardiness with which it is conducted. The officers of my Regiment behaved well ; indeed, they behaved splendidly. It is one thing to rush iuto battle under the excitement of the moment, and become engaged with the enemy in a hand to hand fight, and be march ed off again before the excitement has time to subside, and to be compelled to stand under a heavy fire of grape, shell and musketry for 3 or 4 hours and not be permitted to fire a shot. It is what you seldom find old regiments wil ling to endure. But the Regiment bore it bravely, demonstrating beyond a question that they possess courage that will take them any where in the face of the e.irmy. I can scarcely particularize in regard to the conduct of my officers. Capt. Bark and Capt. Swartz were particularly cool and efficient. On the field they were what I expected they would be, brave and efficient officers. I am also highly pleased with the conduct of the younger officers, Captain Spalding, Lieut. Mercur, Lieuts. Reck and Clark. In fact, all of them done well. Capt. Spalding evinced peculiar courage and efficiency in the field. Of Lieut.. Mcrcur I cannot speak too highly. I that morning placed liiui in command of Company Iv, a try ing position for a young officer to be placed in for the first time. He acquitted himself as I believed he would, with great credit.— Lieuts. Peek and Clark also du ie themselves great credit. Lieut. Clark had sole command of his company, the other officers being absent sick. The officers of the three companies from the other counties behaved well. Captains Ccurdsiey and Tyler acted with great coolness and discretion They were equal to the emer gertcv of their position Lout Atkinson, who commanded Company (}, behaved finely, and so did ail the officers ol the companies. lam proud of their conduct as officers and men, and also am of the Ll■•gime-nt. We crossed tin* river on Satnrd >y with two days' rations. We were promptly supplied on Monday uight by our Quartermaster (Lieut. Torrey) with the needed supply for the next three days. We were under great obligations to him for his energy and thought fulness in getting our rations to us—a task not easy to be accomplished under the circumstances. To Major Spalding and the Adjutant is due a great deal oi' credit. They remained at their posts, on their horses, daring most of the af ternoon, ready lor any emergency that might arise. They evinced great coolness in assist ing in fcrming the Regiment 011 the field, a* d in encouraging the men in their extremely hard march from the river. The M ijor nar rowly escaped being hit with a shell, it glanc ing by his stirrup. To the Major and Adju tant I am under great obligations for their as sistance during the day. Lieut. Col. Wutkins, f regret to say, was unable to be with us, and no person could have regretted it more than he did. lie was in the hospital with typhoid fever at the* time, and taken by his father, Col. Mason, to Wash ington on the afternoon of the day we left camp. I very much missed his service-on the march and in the field. I hope he may not tie kept from us long. lie is a good and illi cient officer, and 1 miss him much. The people of Bradford may be proud of their friends who were in the fight in this Reg iment, on Saturday. They done themselves and their friends great credit. Would 1 could say they done their country as much service. 11. J. MADILL. Pennsylvanians in Gen, Eirney's Division. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. 15,", 2.

It was with peculiar delight, as a Pennsyl vanian,*that I led so many Pennsylvania reg iments to the support of the veteran " Re serves," and as that division was slowly and sullenly retiring before the overpowering foe, that we relieved it from the pursuit, aud re pulsed the enemy with terrible slaughter. All of these regiments are fully entitled to have officially awarded to them, trom the Ex ecutive power, the right to add " Fredericks burg" to the names already crowding their banners. May I ask you, amid your many duties, to have this compliment promptly paid them. I regret to say that Colonel Campbelle, Col.

Farewell Address of Gen. Butler to the Citizens of New-Orleans. NEW-YORK, January 1. IS-U. The steamer S. 11. Spaulding, from New- Orleans, with dates ot the 24th ultimo, ar rived this evening. Among her passengers is Major Gen. Butler and Staff, excepting Cvilo nel Jonas A. French and Captain John Clark, who remain. General Butler prior to leaving New Or leans, gave a reccj lion at the City Hall, where hundreds of citizens and officers waited on him. General Butler also issned a farewell ad dress to the citizens, in which he says that he leaves with ihe proud consciousness of carry ing with him the blessing of the humble and loyal, under the cottage roof and in the cabin of the slave, and is quite couteut to incur the sneers of the saloon or the curses of the rich. He concludes by saying that " months of ex perience and observation have forced the cou viction that the existence of slavery is incom patible with the safety of yourself or of the Union." On tha 24th General Banks issued an ad dress, appended to which is the President's proclamation of emancipation. In his address General Banks, alter rehear.-ing the objects and effects of the Piseident's proclamation, says : "It is manifest that the changes sug gested by the proclamation do not take place at any precise period, and General Banks calls upon all persons, citizens or slaves, to govern themselves accordingly. All unusual public demonstrations will be for the present suspended, and the provost marshals are en joined to prevent any disturbance of the pub lic peace. The slaves are advised to remain upon the plantations until their privileges are definitely established, resting assured that whatever benefits the Government intends, will be secured them." Gen. Banks also instructs the officers to se cure the strictest discipline in the camps. At tention is also called to the act of Congress forbiddiug the return of slaves by the army. The war is not waged for the overthrow of slavery, bnt to restore the constitutional re lation between the United States and each of the States. If slavery is to be preserved the war must cease, and the former constitutional relations again be established, for no military man, in the event of a continuance of the war, wili counsel the preservation of slavery ; the continuance of the war will leave no other permanent track of the rebellion but emanci pation. A contest in public, as in social life, strengthens and consolidates brotherly affec tion. It is a baseless nationality that has not tested its strength against domestic enemies. The success of local interest narrows the dest iny of a people, and is followed by secession, poverty, and degradation. The triumph of national interests widens the scope of human i history, and is attended with pence,prosperity, and power. It is out of such contests that great nations are born. (Jen. Banks concludes thus : " Let us fulfil the conditions of this last great trial and be come a nation,a grand nation,with sense enough to govern ourselves, and strength enough to stand against the world uni'ed." I p to the time of the sailing of the steam er nothing had transpired as to the intended movements of Gen. Banks, but it was known that a campaign had been commenced with Baton Rouge as the base of operations. LOSS OF THE" MONITOR. She Springs a Laak and Sinks off Cape Katteras. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 15G3.
