The info", nce we draw is that our i army, under R: ':ecrans, has been success ful, but if so 4 victory has been dearly bought. The iEditughter on both sides is reported awful,4hile the large number of officers reported tilled and wounded is out of all proporti4. The intrepidity of Gen.

One of these enthusiasts, in 4 fit of exultation, shouts himself hoarse in praises of Abraham Lin coln, and closefilhis rhapsody with 11, "The yeziiibfdubileo has come: Return yd ransomed sinners home." These AbolitiOnists appear to be incept'. ble of either for' etting follies, or of learn ing wisdom. T ey began their crusade against the Soui by declaring that a aim - ple intimation ir mas to the slaves to as sert their freed' m would be immediately followed by tingir uprising. As soon as rebellion threit'ened, they told us that it was all sham ;! that the Southerners could`, not go to war; because their slaves then would take ad*, ntage of the times, and raise themselves from bondage. ' After twelve monthia carnage and death, these blinded enthiniiilitts discovered that instead of slavery being a source of danker and weakness to the South, it was a positive means of prote'etion and strength. Since this convictio,i Was partially realized by them, they lis t ;), been clamoring for legis lation and 11 have to effect I what force of 1 rms has failed to accom plish. Well, iiOw the radicals have got their great panacea; their last desperate move has beeniniade, and we are glad of - it. Should the War continue, as it is likely to, we do not , expect, nor will the people submit, to hear; ,lie abolitionists opposing another draft, because of the war not be ing carried on t i to suit them. They have now succeeded iti diverting the contest to . snit their purposes, and we ought to see Greeley and hisl‘nine hundred thousand" panting patriotitj rushing in overwhelming numbers to thet4cenes of conflicts. Gov. Andrew, of MO ~ need not now hamper his loyalty with conditions. In reply to the last call upon his State for troops, that functionary objeCted to furnishing them, because the contest was not carried on to his liking. Bit, now - that he and his, set have succeeded in changing it to snit them, the people who do not agree with them i t, will be anxioni to 'see him redeem his promise and hav "Massachusetts swarm" with the over , yfhelming multitude who were only waitiig within her borders to come down likel an avalanche upon the rebels wheneverdthe trumpet of emancipa tion tmmmonedhthem to the onset. The blast has been giyen ; "the year of jubilee I has come ;" all et Abolition creation is on. I tiptoe, welcoroitig the ransomed -to the promised land. ;' 1 Bat just here the ugly' re flection arises I 'that President Lincoln's Washington Citirkproclamation will not be very effective' in; the City of, Ricbmtind.. We remember jhis proclamation ordering the rebels to li4 down their arms in sixty or ninety days Itl but instead of obeying that moderate 1 , equest they only raised' their arms higher. This present pro clamation, we apprehend, will prove to, be as great a, fail4e . As well might the President read te riot act from the portico ' of the White IlliuSe, or issue a warrant for the arrest eri Stonewall Jackson, :In fact the only 1 ytay we can enforce the President's ediet by whipping the enemy, and wherever that is done, there will be no need of prcicilamations. Some inquiring "sympathiser with tree tt son," which me as every one who is not an Abolitionist; may inquire how we pro pose to settle the contest, if we have no il faith in a measure so much-landed by our opponents ? ClTir plan for bringing the contest to a trb. , tiopliant termination is for !, the governmeroo see that , no one shall be entrusted With any position in the civil or military aerie of the country who does not fally:ehdorse its policy.

Let theqevernment look that there is no cause for,' Oonrts martial hereafter, , by having in ite i service "tine men"— men like Fremont and Pope, who have, upon frequent i'loccasions, demonstrated t their confidencEiltn the utility of proclama tions. In ordef to leave no "blots nor blotches" in theiproposed reform, let the 1 President duce d to particulars, and look _ to the rank and 1, eof the army.

These men didn't enlist to fight for eman cipation, bat for the Union. Abolition ists have succeeded in diverting the war from its original purpose, to snit them-. Selves, and. "the unalterable rule of right" and "eternal fitness of things," pro claim that they should insist nylon the entire' hardships, privations and dangers, as well as the emoluments of the war. But whether these patriots do in sist or not, we do it for them; all.separate interests in the struggle hereafter we dis claim, and shall insist upon Abolitionism having its full share in enforieing its darling dogma. So let the leaders, the Greeleys Sad! the rest, sound their rally, and see whether Abolitionists will rush to the res cue ;and fight an, issue of their own crea tion; or will they not rather stay at home to secure big contracts and, call every one a traitor who objects to their operations? We shall see. S T. PEACE PROPOSITIONS The mere suggestion ofi , peace throws the more violent of the Abolitionists into a fit of indignation and rage. Hon. James •Brooks, cougyessman elect from the city . of New York, attended a meeting the other evening in Brooklyn, New Jersey, where he offered the following resolutions and spoke in relationto them:, Resolad, That the State of New Jersey, through her State government, be respect fully- requested to mterpose, in order to ar rest the - existing civil war: First, by in viting the non-slaveholding States—Dela ware, Maryland, Kentucky and Misaburi —to meet in convention in Louisville, Ky., on the day of February next. Second, By requesting the permission of the /Walden* of the United States to send commissioners to Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee, to invite them to meet in like national convention. And,!third, Be it farther resolved, that the President be requested by the State government of New Jersey to declare an armistice with or for such state or States as may accept this call for a national con vention... Reeo!red, - That a committee be created on the part of this association to present these resolutions to the Governor and Legislatu.e of New Jersey, and to urge upon that State, that, in consideration of her Revolutionary history and patriotic associations, she is entitled thus to lead in a national convention for -the restoration of these States. The general reader will be puzzled to find anything objectionable in these prop ositions, or in any similar ones intended to restore the government and secure the triumph of the national authority ; but the genius who presides over the Pitts burgh Gazette declares that they are just so much "treason," and doubts the pro priety of allowing, it; author to go un punished. Had such infatuated fools the power to punish opponents the " free North" would present a lamentable spec tacle. The tyranny, usurpation and op pression of the rebel government at Rich mond would be mild and lenient compared to their persecutions. No one, save a confirmed traitor to the unity of the gov ernment, can object to terms for its su premacy, and yet we have a newspaper in Pittsburgh denouncing such propositions as "treason," and suggesting ropes for those who favor them. Let the reader then carefully decide who are the traitors —those who faVor or those who oppose them. WEST VIRGINIA The President,after ten days' reflection and discussion, has signed the bill erecting a lie* State in an old one. The executive takes ground, and we allaustain him in it, that 'no State, however much she may be `sovereign" in the.estimation of her Leg islature and people, can diisolve her con nectioh with the general 'government, While enforcing this constitutional doc trine, at an expense of two millions of dollars a day, and , a sacrifice of life incom parable, we see this same executive recog nizing the absurd, and destructive doctrine of States separating themselves, and that, too, in opposition to tOplain and positive constitutional prohibition. He insists that Virginia is still in the Union, and at the same time encourages a:evolution to de stroy liar unity. Here is the beginning of secession indeed. fir Murfreesboro, the point to which Sidney Johnston conducted the flying rebel armywlien Grant took Fort, Donelson and forced the evacuation of Nashville, awl from which Rosecrans has now driven Bragg and Joseph Johnson, is a village thirty-two miles southeast from Nashville, on the Nashville and Chattanooga IL R. It is reported that Bragg has entrenched him, sell at Tullahoma, which is thirty-eight miles south of Murfreesboro, on the same. railroad, and is besides the point of junc tion of the McMinville branch. McMin vine, however, can be reached by . a turn pike road from Murfreesboro, not longer than the line from Tullahoma. It is in • this direction, towards Sparta, that Rose crans wants to move, no doubt.; and he may not, therfore, attempt to do more than hold the enemy in check at Tullaho ma, if he is really strongly entrenched' there. Gen. McClellan's Testimony in the Porter Case. Daring the investigation in the General Porter Court Martial, dispatches were shown General McClellan which he recog nized as those sent him, though contain ing slew errors of small importance.— They were received September Ist, '62. Q. You have stated that you never en tertained an idea that Gen. Porter would not be true to Gen. Pope, why then did' you send &eh a dispatch as that? Q. I sent it in accordance with the request of the President of the United States. He sent for me on that day, and told me that he had understood that there was an un kind feeling on the part of the army of the Potomac toward Gen. Pope, and request ed me to use my personal :influence to cor rect it, by telegraphhig either to, General Porter or to any other of ray Mends there. I told'him that I did not consider it neces sary; but I was perfectly, willing to do it. I had no doubt then in my own mind-That the army of the Potomac, and all conned; ted with . at, wo,uld, do their duty without anttu3deesity-for any -action on my part. From Nashville. Y 'a .

Spearial Correapondomee:of OinainitatiCommeraial ;ziesavitax, ' hive arrived a terrific 'battle; con Stone'd .Rivet; in front of Murfreesboro, on the West side of that town. It has raged with unretnit , ting fury,fOr two days, and at last raport Vies not yet decided. limas one of the most ferocious of modern times; sustained by both sidesivith splendid(deterininatiOri, General Rosecrans marched from Nash ville last Friday with about 46,000`efientive met{ and 100 pieces of artillery, and -air ,mished a ll .the way to the battle field, the enetny resisting bitterly. The whole of Tuesday was spent in roconnollming. The . mggy; ',wits found strongly poSted, with artillery, in a bend of Stone'iltiVer, his flanks resting on the West side of IdurLees . - - 'The center had also '4,,he advantage: of high ground, with a denae:growth of cedar, masking them completely;. Their Position gave them the advantage ?f a Crossfire; and , General McCook closed in 4 on theirleft on Wilkerson's Creeh., Negloy, of Thomisfl corps, worked, with- great difficulty, to the left of the rebel center. Rousseau's division was in reserve. C. ittenden's corps` was posted on comparatively clear ground on their left ; Palmer's and:Van Cleve's divisions in front in the woods, and held in reserve. A battle was expected all day on 'Tuesday, but the enemy merely skir mished and threw a few shells, one of which killed Orderly McDonald, of the Foutth United States Cavalry,, not ten feet from Gen. Rosecrans. That , afternoon the Anderson Pennsylvania Cavalry; on McCook's flank, was drawn into an am buscade, and its two Majora Rosen garten and Ward—were killed. Crittenden's corps lost four killed and two wounded that day, including Adjutant Elliott, of the 57th Ind., severely wounded. hfcCook's loss was about fifty. The same day the rebel cavalry made a dash on our rear at Lavergn, burned a few wagons and captured thirty-h i ve prisoners. That night dispositions were made to attack the ene my in the moraihg.. After dark the enemy were reported massing upon McCook, ob viously to strike our right wing. This cor rellponded with the wishes of ilea. Rose crane, who instructed Gen. McCook to hold him in check stubbornly', while the left wing was thrown into Murfreesboro behind the enemy. • At daybreak of the last day of Decem ber everything appeared working welL Battle had opened on our right, and our left wing was on hand at seven o'clock. Ominous sounds indicated that the fire was approaching on the right. Aides were despatched for information, and found the forests fall of flying negroes, with some straggling soldiers, who report ed whole regiments falling back rapidly. Meantime ohe of McCook's aids an nounced to General Rosecrans that Gen eral Johnson had permitted the three bat teries of his division to be captured by a sudden attack of the enemy, and that that fact had somewhat demoralized the troops. This was obvious. The brave General Sill, one of our best officers, was 'killed, General Kirk severely wounded, and General Willich killed, or missing, besides other valuable officers. General Rosecrans sent word pressing General McCook to hold th 6 front and he would help him. It would all work right. He now galloped to the front of Critten den's left, with his staff, to order the line of battle, when the enemy opened a fall battery and emptied two saddles of the escort. Van Cleve's division was sent to the right, Col. Beatty's brigade in front. The fire continued to approach on the right with alarming rapidity—extending to the center t and it was clear that the right was doubling upon the left. 'I he enemy had compelled us to make a complete change of front on that wing, and were pressing the center. Gen. Rosecrans, with splendid daring, dashed into the fire and sent his staff along the lines, started Beattey'a brigade for ward—some six batteries opened and sus tained a magnificent fire—directly a tre mendous shout was raised along the whole line. The enemy began to fall back rap idly. ' The General himself urged the troops forward. The rebels; thoroughly punished, were driven back fully a mile. The same splendid bravery was displayed in the centre, and the wboleline advanced. Meantime the enemy made formidable de monstrations on our left, while they .pre pared for another onslaught on our right. -Meantime orders had been issued to move our left upon the enemy. Before they had time to execute it they burst upon our center with awful far', audit began to break. Rousseau's divisions were carried into a breach magnificently by Weir glori ous leader, and the enemy again retreated hastily into the dense cedar thickets.— Again they . essayed our right, and again we were driven back. This time the num ber of our stragglers was formidable, and the prospect was discouraging, but there was no panic. The General, confident of success, continued to visit every part of the field, and with the aid of Thomas, Mc- Cook, Crittenden , Rousseau, Kegley, and Wood, the tide obattle was again turned. Early in the day, we were seriously em barrassed by the enterprise of rebel cav alry, who made some serious dashes upon some of McCook's ammunition and sub sistence trains, capturing a- number of wagons; and artillery ammunition was alarmingly scarce. At one time it was announced that not a single wagon.load of it could be found. Some of our batteries were quiet on that account. This misfor tune was caused by the capture of Mc- Cook's trains. About two o'clock the battle had shifted again from Tight to left; the enemy, dis covering the impossibility of succeeding in their;main design, had suddenly massed his forces on the left, emitting the river or moving under cover of high bluffs-from his right, and for about two holm-the fight raged with unremitting fury. The ad vantage: was with the enemy for a consid erable length of time, %hen they were checked by our murderous fire - of both musketry and artillery. The scene at this point was magnificent and terrible. Thd whole battle was in full view, the enemy deployiligright and left, bringing np their batteries in fine style, our own vomiting smoke and iron missiles . upon tliem with awful fury, and our gallant fellows moving to the front with unflinching courage, or lying flat upon their faces to escape the rebel fire, until the moment for action, , There' was not a place on the field that did not give men a satisfactory idea,of the manner of hot fire, solid shot, shell and Minie balls, which rattled around like Rosecrans himself was incessantly ex posed—it is wonderfnl that be escaped., His Chief of Staff, the noble Lieut. Col.' Garesche, had his: head taken off by a round .shot, and the blood' spattered the General and 'some of the staff. -Lieut. Lyman Kirk, just behind him, was lifted clear out of his saddle by_a bullet;which shattered his' left arm. Three orderlies, and thelant Sergeant Richmond, of the United States Cavalry, were killed within a few feet of him, and five or six horses in the staff and escort were struck.' • • Between four and ffve o'clock, the' ene rnyt apparently exhausted. by intrepid aid incessant' assault, took up a position not assailable without abundant artillery, and . the tire on both aides slaclned, and final ly ceased at dark, the ba ihaving lasted , eleven hours.

If McCook's forcelad held more firmly against Hardee's corps and . Cheatham's division when he fought Rosecrans, the plan of battle would have succeeded. 'At dark they had a heavy force on our right, leading to the belief that they in• tended to pursue.. Their cavalry, in the meantime, was ex cesiyely troublesome, cutting deeply into our train behind us, and we had not nay alryenough to protect us. The 4th regulars made onei splendid dash at them, capturing 67 and releasing 800 prisoners they . had taken from us, and recaptured 500 prisoners of the enemy. 'THE FIGHT ON NNW YEAR'D DAY Gen. Rosecrans, determined to begin the attack this morning, opened furiously withour left at dawn. . . The enemy, however, would not retire frog our right, and the battle worked that waY A't eleven o'clock matters were not flat tering on either side. At twelve our bat teries received new supplies of ammuni tion and was massed, and a terrible fire was opened. The enemy began to give way, Genera Thomas pressing on their centre and Crit tendon advancing on their left. The battle was more severe at that hour -than it had been, and the result was yet doubtful. Both sides were uneasy, but de termined. (ten Rosecrana feels its importance ,folly. If he is detested be will be defeated badly, because he will fight as long as he has a - brigade. If he is victorious the ene my will be destroyed. At this hour we are apprehensive. Some of our troops behaved badly, but most of them were heroes: I believe all but Walker's brigade, con 6atitus of the 17th and 31st Ohio, and two other regiments, were not in Wednesday's battle, being on guard, but they were en gaged to-day. The enemy seemed fully:as numerous as we. They did not use as much artillery. Gene. Joe Johnston and Bragg were in command. Prisoners say they lost heavily. Gen.. McCook was brave to a fault and self•poesessed. He narrowly escaped death many times. His horse was killed under him and he was severely hurt by ais horse falling under him. 11:15 later tidings of to-day's battle. The rebels aro destroying our wagon train on Murfreesboro pike.

GRANT AND THE JEWS Gen. Grant's order expelling the Jews "as a class" from the department is an outrage. Doubtless a good many of these people have done wrong; propably some of them have, as Gen. Grant declares, "violated every regulation of trade estab ' lished by the Treasury Department," but because some have done this, it is no rea son why Gen. Grant shou ld launch his orders against Jews "as a class." It is no violation of any order of the Treasury De partment, so far as we are at present ad vised, for a man to profess the law which was followed by Abraham, 'lsaac and Jacob. There are many men professing this faith who are quite as honest, upright, loyal and patriotic citizens as can be found in the country—yet, if they happen to be found in Gen. Grant's department they will be "expelled from it within twenty four hours." This, we repeat, is an out rage, for which no justification can be found in any rule of war or exigency of military affairs. Are there no Christians in Gen. -Grant's department who are " violating every re gulation of trade established by the Trea sury Department?" Are not the Chris tian cotton speculators and the horde of Christian traders and cormorants who are following in the wake of Gen. Grant's army for money-making purposes, as cul pable, ►'as a class," as the Jewish cotton speculators, traders and cormorants ? Bat what would be said should Gen. Grant issuelan , order expelling Christians, "as a claim," from his department within twenty four Loire 2 Bach an order would be as just and righteous and proper as the one he has *fed in relation to the Jews.

Is there any Democrat that will riot do as Mr. Douglas said he would, on this memorable occasion ? This speech of Mr. Douglas was widely circulated and ap proved by the Republican press at the time it was delivered. TLIE best cavalry in the service of the United States, we are informed, is that now in Missouri.

They have very little to do in Missouri time times.
