VICTORY I
We announce .this morning very joyful
. .
. - .Murfreesboro has been captured by
General RosEcws. Vicksburg has been
taken by General W. T. SHERMAN. These
are great Tictories, although differently 'ite•
complished, and indicating different but de-,
cisive results. In many respects these two
achievements arc the model victories of the
war. The triumph of General RosEcnANs
is the annihilation of the rebel army in Ten,
nessee. The triumph of General . SHERMAN
gives us the complete control of the great
Mississippi . Valley. At Murfreesboro
we had desperate, long-continued, and
appalling valor. We marched to meet
the foe and gave , him battle. . WO
fought him in his own position. We
fought him from day to day, amid em
barrassing and depressing circumstances.
We threw our whole force on his armies,
repelling every assault, and moving con
stantly and ceaselessly to victory. This
victory we have gained. ' The prayers of
General BRAGG were untimely, and the
Happy . New Year, for which he' thanked
God, will be a gloomy festival. ROSECRANS
was not to be finished in a day. The Army
of the WeSt might be defeated, but the
courage of its foemen, and no panics like
those at Fredericksburg or Bull Run, could
be depended upon to do the . work.
.Vil•
have never seen such a reckless vgard
of life.. The long list of officip, whose
death We already hear r4ried, shows
ind sublime with what self-sacrific?

The ,n e, o . reg i...exit of the regular army,.

a col,..othat does honor to their great pro
e.Ot The volunteers almost excelled
ro ,
.- , it teir more disciplined brethren, and, among
the volunteers, we notice; with unfeigned,
and, certainly, without jealous pride, the
part tbit,,Pennsylvania took in the con
test. HEOLEY, and FIAMBRIGHT, and Ro-
SENGAETEN, have done honor to the States
whose sons they lead, and, in addition to
the. many glorious legends now recorded
upOn the banners of our State, we have to
add that lof Murfreesboro.
We can do little more this morning than
announce the great results that are else
where described. It is too soon to antici
pate the effect of these victories upon the
war. But if we can judge from what we
know of the rebel Armies in the West—
their sinking and enfeebled cause—their
despairing valor, and the extraordinary
methods that were taken to stimulate their
courage—the presence of their ablest. and
most trusted generals . upon • the field—the
presence of the great traitor himself a few
days previous to the battle—all conspired to
make the enemy fight like men who knew
that defeat was annihilation. If the victory
of - ROSE6nAtcS is pressed—and his despatch
.. • •
this morning shows that he is pursuing with
energrgid, judgment—Eastern Tennessee
will soon be relieved, and Richmond may
hear•the thunder of his cannon before the
winter is over. In any event, the situation.
of military affairs in the South and West is .
most promising. Vicksburg places the vast
regions beyond the Mississippi at our feet.
The fall of Mobile will complete ; the work.

thiii Morning, and in announcing these
splendid victories we cannot resist the
thought that they indicate a speedy termi
nation of the war, and el' honorable, glori
ous, and lasting peace.

In the case of Mr. B.Ridatiir, we haitiOcio
comments to make. We . - do - not7Wish to
jUdge him harshly, nor doWe seek tOltripugn
the motives that actuated him as a Council- •
Man. He seems to have been actuated by
two desires : The first to preserve his honor
as a man, the second to give Mr. HENRY C.
COAFIELD, his brother-in-law, a fine posi
tion. Whether he hie accomplished both of
theses desires we leive:hili friends to say, but
'certainly Mr. CoR7rELD is clerk. The
_af
fection of Mr: - Bitteurris towards that rela
• tive is a touching' spectacle. For his sake,
he has done what few men in the coninitinity
would do. Nominated and elected by a
Republican party, he refused to entera Re
publican caucus, and opposed the-Republican
nominee. After denouncing the Democratic
party before thousands of men as corrupt,
false, S and disloyal, he assists that party in,
an act of partisan, injustice, and defends
the wrong he . aided to perpetrate. His
brother-in-law - was chosen clerk, however,
and- Mr! BRIGUTLY is satisfied: - His • con :
duct in this matter is a question- of taste.
We are not to correct his sentiments nor - to'
gauge his ideas of honor. The world would
say to Mr. BitrinurLy that his course in this
whole business resembles perfidy and bad
faith ; and the world, we are very 'much
afraid, will Lot accept the advancement . of
Mr. CORFIELD as a sufficient excuse for his
brother-in-la w' s extraordinary, behavior.
Passing from all these subjects, we-Cannot
but-hope, on behalf of the city arid her inn
nicipal interests, that these representatile
May return to reason and cease their 4diell
loui folly. There are honest ano,tair men
enough in both' parties to do v L.ieis right,
and let justice be done" in

lie declared that the South had no just
cause for breaking up the integrity of a
great nation, but that the object of the South
in this contest was to maintain and perpe
tuate the bondage of human beings, " to re
tain the power to breed negroes, to lash ne
gres, to chain them, to buy and sell negroes,
to ,deny them the enjoyment of the com
monest family ties, to break their hearts by
rending them at their pleasure, to close their
mental eye against a glimpse of that know
ledge which separates us from the brute
creation, for in accordance with. their laws
it is a penal act to learn a negro to read."
He added : •
"I have heard, indeed, that there are 3.linisters'of
State who are in favor of the South ; that there are
-members of the aristocracy who are terrified at the
shadow of the great Republic at the other side of
the Atlantic ; that there 'are rich men whose views
of this questions are based altogether upon their
selfish interest; and that there are conductors of the li
public press who would barter the rights of millions
of their fellow-creatures that they might bask in
the smiles of the great. But. I know that there are,
Ministers of State who do not wish that this insur
rection should break up the American Union ; that
there are members of our aristocracy who are not
afraid of the shadow of a republic; that there are
many rich men who are not depraved by their
riches, and that there are public writers of eminence
and honor who will not barter human rights for the
patronage of the great; but most of all,.and before
all, I am sure that in Lancashire, where the work- .
ing men have seen themselves going down from
prosperity to ruin, from independence to subsistence
upon charity, the unenfranchised but not hopeless
-millions of this country will never sympathize with
a revolt which is intended to destroy the liberty of a
continent and to build on its ruins a mighty- fabric
of human bondage.
* ft • * #
" Is not this war the penalty which an inexorable
justice exacts from America, North and -South, for
the enormous guilt of cherishing this frightful ini
quity for the last eighty years'? Ido not blame any
man who takes the restoration of the Union to be
hopeless ; you have the authority of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer on that point; he is, as a speaker,
unsurpassed by any man in England; but, unfortu
nately, he made use of expressions in the north of
England nearly three months ago, and seeing ever
since then to have been engaged in trying to make
people understand what he meant. He is, how
ever,4nite welcome to think the struggle hopeless
for the North. I don't hold that opinion. The
leaders of this revolt oppose by their Constitution
th's simple thing-'—that over a territory some forty
times as large as England the blight and bondage of
slavery shall be forever perpetuated. I cannot my
self believe in such a fate befalling that fair land,
stricken though it now..be.by the ravages of war; I
cannot believibtbat eivilization-in- its: journey .with::
the sun will siuk s ipto - :endlels". Met to . gratify. the :
- ambition of the - leadefiallifrrevoll, who seek 'to.
wade through slaughter to a throne,"rind shut the
gates of mercy on mankind."
Upon another part .of 'the question; the
British construction and equipment of , the
pirate 'Alabama, which . Earl - RUSSELL . has
endeavored to slitri, in his correspondence
with Mr. ADADlS,,American Ambassador in
London, Mr. BnroimexPresses hiinself in
the clearest and plainest manner. • He is
not a Man to say, for any purpose, that
black is white or White black - but uses the
.<
very plainest words. Here is, his indict
ment• against the British Government on the
Alabama piracy
"With regard to the Alabama, in America they
say, I know not how truly, that she is a ship-of-war
which was built by a member of the British Parlia
ment, furnished with guns and ammunition of
English manufacture, manned and sailed almost en
tirely by Englishmen ; that the facts were rePre
seated to the collector of customs in Liverpool, who
pooh-pooh'd them ; that he was requested 'to send
up the facts to the customs in London, whose so
, licitOr was not a very wise nian, and was probably
in favor of breaking up the Republic ; that after
wards Mr. Collier, counsel for' the Admiralty, in
vestigated, the matter,. and distinctly stated his
opinion that what -was done -at 'Liverpool was a
direct infringement of the foreign enlistment act,
and that 'the customs' authorities at that port would
be responsible for the Consequence. When this
opinion was taken to the foreign office they were
rather astonished ; but their law officer's opinion
coineided with Mr. , Collier's and then, after those
delays 'which always take place when there is any
thing to be done by a Government office, a tele
graphic message was sent to Liverpool to stop the
vessel, but the message arrived too late. She has
never been in a Confederate port.. She hoists the
English flag when she.wants to come alongside any
ship, sets the ship on fire by night, and when any
other vessel conies down to help it she seizes it also,
and afterwards burns and robs it." •
Parliament will assemble in a few days,
and we may be stire that. Mr. BRIGTET and
Mr. COBDEN will manfully stand up in that
Assembly and declare the truth relative to
the American civil war, and the manner in
which,the British Ministry have conducted
their so-called " neutrality " in the contest,

Report of tile Judge Advocate.
L. C. TURNER, judge advocate, Charged with the

for alleged disloyalty, says in his official report that
there were four perrons imprisoned in the Old Capi

Messrs. D. A. IIIA.IIOXEY, Jorrx H. 111 nx r, D.

.on Nov. 11, 1862, before their discharge, at their own
request, among other things, that they would not at
any future time commence an action against officers
of any State, or of the United States, for causing
their arrest. This was after they had refused to
take an unconditional oath of allegiance, and after
certain civil officers of Illinois had been annoyed by
vexatious suits for certain arrests, and was volun

-The Court Martial of General Porter.
Lieutenant Colonel Brinton, 2d Pennsylvania
Cavalry, was examined in behalf of the defence.
He testified to the reception of an order from Gen.
Porter on the night of the 27th, at midnight, direct
ing.him to clear the road. In so doing, he found
the wagons in the road between Cedar Run and
Catlett's Station with their horses unhitched. The
night was dark,,and the bridge over Cedar Run im
passable. It was too dark to distinguish a wagon
fifteen yards distant. It would have been difficult
to march infantry, unless by file. Artillery could
not possibly have been moved, without previously
clearing away the wag Ons.
At this point, General Porter announced that he
would call no more witness es. Subsequently an or
derly to General Pope at that time was called for
the prosecution, and gave testimony as to the con
dition of the roads.
Gcneral Ring was called by the prosecution, and

line dining last night for sotne'hours. •
THE LAST BATTLE.
The rebeli attacked us in great 42roe yesterdai
morning along our entire line, - advancing under
our .. terrible fire in the most despirate manner.
Our men were in rifle-pits, and -resisted the dif
ferent onsets of the enemy in fine style, creating
great havoc among the rebels.
Observing the advantage gained, General Rose.
,
crane ordered a charge of the :whole army, and
drove the rebels across the Stone river in great
confusion, and with terrible slaughter. '
PENNSYLVANIANS FIRST TO CROSS.
The gallant 77th Pennsylvania Volunteers, from
Lancaster county, under command of their, fearless
and skilful leader, Colonel Hambright, were the first
to cross Stone river and engage the enemy on the
other aide. Their steadiness under fire was re
marked by all. They went at the rebeli 'With . a
" yell" that made the woods ring again.. Their .war
cry was " The Keystione must conquer t"
Having crossed the ricer, our - troops advanced
at once towards , Murfreesboro, shelled that village
before advancing. The" rebels agli'in fell back, and
our troops entered the city in triumph this morning.
• RETREAT OF THE REBELS.
* Most of . the rebels ran oft' last night towards Tul
lahoma, a disorganized mobbish army. --
They buried their dead partially, before leaving,
and also buried the bodies of some of our officers.
The body of brave General Sill was recovered
near the spot where he fell on New tear's Day, at
Spencer's Mill, to the left of the town.
, Were found in hundreds in the houses of Murfrees
boro, unattended and screaming for aid and atten
tion.
Many houses in the town-were demolished by our
shells, when our forces were advancing upon it for
the second time.
The rebels have ietreated rapidly, but Gen. Rose
cram has despatched Gen. Stanley with his gallant
light division after them. His. cavalry are now en
gaged with the rear guard of the enemy.
Spies who have •just arrived confirm the- repprts
of deserters that the main artorof the rebels is at.
Tullahoma in a terrible condition. _

shelled Murfreesboro this morning, and, there being
no reply, our forces Ivill occupy it at noon. The
rebels had undoubtedly left,'and our forces are re

were left on the field; and many. wounded.' Seven
Federals were wounded,
Captain Pinney, of the sth Wisconsin; L. Haat

are bUrning the cotton wherever they can get hold
of it. A number of Jews are concentrating here

occupied by the Union forces.
It is reported that Frank Ward, of Pittsburg, of
the Anderson Troop, was killed.
All reports ofßosecrans having retreated to Nash

The fight today is supposed to be in the vicinity
of Christiana. The intervention of rebel cavalry
between Nashville and Christiana makes It difficult

The Jackson
. (INllssissippl) Appeal, a rebel journal,
has .a..copespoltent who writes from "Camp, near
bllir`freesboro
"The Army of Tennessee is' at present organized
into three corps, commanded respectively by Lieu
tenant Generals Polk, Hardee, and Kirby Smith.
OUr ranks have been considerably recruited since
we came out of Kentucky, especially the Tennessee
regiments.' Governor Harris has been active in en
forcing the conscript law, and many of our shattered
regiments have thus swelled their ranks to, almost
primitive size. That gentleman, together with the
Min. Andrew Ewing, have been announced as volunz .
teer aids to General Bragg.
"There has been some excitement here of late,
inconsequence of the small-pox having made its
appearance in the army. All necessary precautions
have been adopted, however,
.to keep the disease
from spreading, and there is no ground at present for
serious apprehension. .
"In other respects the army is doing well and in
good health, and pretty comfortably. clad for the
coming winter, which,, from the snow which we
have already had, promises to be rather .severe.
Our generals and those of the enemy seem to
be making a trial of their skill in manceuvring,
and it appears doubtful at present what the result
will be. •
( .8 It may possibly be a great battle in this vicinity
,
though that event will depend on the movements of
the enemy. We are ready for them whenever they
offer the gage of battle. .- •
"General Joseph B. Johnston arrived at Mur
freesboro last night, to take charge, as we Under
stand,,of military operations in this quarter. General
Brifteg_Wili,probably•retnim.the-ictive :command' br
this army, though, it is rumored, he is to be sent to
Miseissippi. General Johnston's arrival will be
bailed withjoy by the soldiers Ind citizens. lle will
find the.diiscipline and &II:mu-ea - co/a of th_e_....my as
fine as he could anticipate. • - •
"An order from General Bragg was read to us a
few days ago; authori z ing the different battalions,
regiments, and - companies, engaged In the battle of
Perryville, to have its name inscribed on their ban
ne.rs; and, in addition to 8 Perryville,' General Cheat-
I hnin'if 'division is 'ordered to have the cross cannon
inverted inscribed, indicating its determined bravery,
and•eirpecially its gallant charge, which resulted in
the capture of three of the enemy's batteries.
" Speaking of banners reminds me of a circum
stance which shows how a trifling event will effect
Things of some importance. General Polk's battle
fiag at Shiloh 'was a blue field, with a large red
cross, containing thirteen white stars, the long bar
of-the. cross running horizontally, or with the fly.
Before we entered Kentucky tffe general concluded
to.modify his flag by bordering the edge of the red
cross with white,- and sent to Stanford's battery for
its flag all a pattern.
"Now, it happened, by some carelessness, that
the mules had gotten hold of our flag and torn off
one end containing two of the- stars i so, when the
new flags were distributed, each one in the division
was -found to contain eleven stars only, and thus
they.remain, the general, perhaps, never noticing
the difference."'
REBEL 'ACCOUNTS OF THE BATTLE OF

The. Memphis Argus of Saturday Dec. 27th, has
news from Little Rock to the 18th. Hindman, it
seems, claims to have gained a victory over Herron
at Prairie. Grove.
"Hindman, in his official report, states his forces
engaged in the fight to be about 15,000.• He made the
attack, as is already well knoWn, and left his bag
gage': trains twenty miles in the rear, fearing that

claims to have captured four hundred and eighty
foUr prisoners, forty wagons laden with arms and
army stores, and a battery of artillery. His own
loss he estimates at one thousand, but does not at
tempt to give that 'sustained by the other side. He
also claims to have remained on the field twenty
four hours, and says he was not pursued on his re
treat. ' •

"Matters are rather lively in Little Rock, and

A. REBEL WARNINGFROM MOBILE
[Prom th 'AioVie Advertiser, (Rebel,) 27th.)
c'We are iisfornied :from pretty good authority that
Adrniial Buchanan; who has just returned from a
ttip of observation down the bay, determined upon
an order which will materially add to the strength
of the fleet which has been built and equipped to aid
in the detente of Mobile. A creek craft, with a pow
erful battery arulpicked crew, ably and gallantly com
manded, is the addendum.
This is the event courrkr of four other floating en
gines of war which will soon take their station in the
bay, and oppose their iron sides to' the iron shot of
the Federal navy. The Federals will find out, after
awhile, that "some things can be done as well as
others," and that Southern men may develope
genius for naval construction and warfare, as they
have a splendid aptitude for fighting on terra firma.
Whither we gain these additions to our navy
through cracks in the enemy's blockade, or by other
means, we leave him to find out or to infer.
On one dark night, not very long since, the Oreto
slipped out, and in the self same night, by a single
chance, another craft, i'destined to remain here,
Blipped in, and all so'quietly as to deceive even the
Fort Morgan garrison: They would be incredulous
if we were to hint to them that some dark night;
while ridingat Jusehor Watching their prey on the
outer bar,' a black iron monster or two might sud
denly emerge frtins the pitchy darkness and dash into
theirribs with a crash that would send them shriek
ing after their comrades of theOumberland and Con
grestr. • •
Admiral Buchanan, they are aware, has some , lit
tle experience in this line, and makes some pretty
thorough jobs when he begins. And if these warn
ings should make outside guests watchful in front
let them guard well their rear and keep.a "bright
look cut behind, lest they get a punch in the stern
as well as the bow. • The power that produced the
Merrimac, the Arkansas, the Alabama, the "290,"
the Oreto, and the Fingal, is not exhausted in the
means or the will to multiply these successful exPeri
ments.

Werrespiihkeace of The Preas.7
Yourr, January 6,1863
THE 1.91313 OP THE -MONITOR
is, perhaps, even more talked *about to-day than the
great Murfreesboro battle, so unexpectedly did the
news come to us, and SO startling was the disaster.
Various theories are advanced at the navy yard
to account for the catastrophe, but the moat rea
sonable one is that the Monitor leaked at any
time, and could not-be made seaworthy. It is
truly a fortunate thing that oar other iron-clads are
better adapted to the perils of the deep, and not
be condemned because their famous little forerunner
has metwith ouch disaster; otherwise, more than
one importanf-"eipedition, ,, planned for the winter,
must needs be deferred a long time, if not given up
altogether.
THE TENNESSEE BATTLE
appears to be a hopeless puzzle to every one, and
people seem inclined to shciw no excitement until
the telegrams from the scene of action assume more
coherency than characterize them at present. It
cannot be denied, however, that there is much co
vert anxiety as to Bosecrans , fortunes, which will
carry the jubilation very high should victory, final
and decisive, favor our arms. Even the most igno
rant appear to realize that great results hang upon
this Vattle. If Bragg and Johnston are handsomely
defeated, the, rebellion in the Southwest will have
been permanently ended. If, on the other hand, our
splendid army of Western veterans should be routed,
the war in that part of
..the country will be carried
right into the loyal •States of Ohio and Illinois.
Knowing this, the people of this city, are, as you
may infer, somewhat anxious to hear about the fight
on Saturday:
IN THE CHURCHES,
yesterday, the great proclamation was duly remerri
bered, and inspired several very patriotic sermons.
Of course, Mr. Beecher was the clerical lion of the
day, and Plymouth Church had the elasticity of its
walls fully tested by the crowd of auditors. Beecher
took for his text the first eight verses of Revelations
xviii, wherein the fall of Babylon is treated of. He
stated that "Babylon" was a term signifying de
spotic oppression, and received a round of applause
for asserting that, "Of all nations on earth, there
was not one that stood so centrally the very Babylon
of Babylona, made rich and strong by grinding the
people and eating them up, as England." Of the
edict of freedom, Mr. Beecher said that
" He knew that the proclamation might not set
one slave free, for it was but the arrow. The army
was the bow, and with that arrow tyranny would
be alayed. The God of-justice was the God of bat
tle, and since they had conformed to the, decrees of
eternal justice, might'they not believe that now He
would give victoryl Although the freedom of the
slave was something yet to be achieved, yet there
was a great deal emancipated when our Govern
ment was set free. Our country had been in the
past like a merchant that had circulated a large
amount of paper and was now taking it in."
The Rev. Mr. Cheever preached a sermon of
the same tenor. In fact, the proclamation was
more or less praised in all the loyal churches, being
read as an introduction to the services in several of
them.

The real meaning of the new Governor, under
cover of considerable spread-eagle cant, is that he
designs taking the first step toward arraying the
State Government of New York against 'the Go
vernment of the United States, sending Fernando
Wood to Washington as Senator, and placing the
police and all other municipal officers of this ill
fated city into the hands of thieves and rowdies of

Major Francis B. Ward.
The telegraph brings the sad intelligence that
Major Frank B. Ward, of the Anderson Cavalry, was
killed in the battle in Tennessee, meagre details of
which have as yet been received. Major Ward was
among the first to put his name on the roll of the
Duquesne 'Grays, Company B, -of the 12th regi
ment, and served as a private in the three months'
campaign. Re re-enlisted as a private in the Ander
son Troop, well known as Buell's Body Guard. In
August last he returned from Huntsville, Ala., with
twelve others, to recruit the troop to a regiment.
Frank, along with others, served under McClellan
at Antietam,having been called suddenly into ac
tiveservice,from Carlisle,. during the Cumberland
Valiey excitement. The Anderson Cavalry formed
the:extreme right of .ThlcOlellanis pickets.
Frank recruited about one hundred and thirty
men in this county, all of whom accompanied the
regiment to Kentucky, after .its organization at
Carlisle. He was promoted from sergeant to cap
tain, and finally_ was commissioned as major:. There
is a matter connected with the history of Major
Ward, and known'to.the press but recently, to which
it may not be improper to , refer now briefly, to do
justice to him.
About October i he was dismissed from the service
for 'an Offence pf which he was entirely innocent.
Re was promptly Feinstatekand no.record- made of
his - dismissal orreinstatement. His : brother; Mr. W.
W. Ward, and-other friemurd-zgertnirn to resign the
moment he t ysix.h.storably reinstated, but he refused,
s t a ti ng mat he would die at the head of his brave
men, which it seems he has done. The colonel of
the Anderson Troop Regiment was not with it, and
the lieutenant. colonel is an invalid, thus leaving
Majors Ward 'and Rosengarten (son of a wealthy
Philadelphian) in command, and both have fallen at
their posts.
Major Ward was a son of Dr. William A. Ward,
dentist, an old and highly respectable citizen, and
died inlets twenty-first year. Previous to entering the
service he was in the employ of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company as- clerk. -He was 'held in the
highest esteem by his acquaintances, and a nobler
spirit has not fallen in this 'prolonged and bloody
war. Arrangements have been made to bring home
his body.—Pittsburg Despatch.' . .
