Edwin M. Stantem. Secretary of War : Sir: On the 23d instantat 11:30 a, m., General Grant ordered a demonstration against Mission Ridge, to develope the force holding it. The troops marched out, formed in order, and advanced in line of battle as if on parade. The rebels watched the formation and movement from their picket lines and rifle pits and from the summits of Mission Ridge, five hundred feet above us, and thought it was a review and drill, so open ly and deliberately, so regularly was it all done. The line advanced, preceded by skir ! mishcrs, and at i o'clock p. m. reached our picket lines, and opened a rattling vol ley upon the rebel pickets, who replied and ran into their advauoed line of rifle pit-. After them went our skirmishers, and into them, along the_eentre of thn line of 25,- 000 troops which General Thomas had so quickly displayed, until we opened fire. , Prisoners assert that they thought the whole movement was a review and general drill, and that it was too late tosend to their | camps for reinforcements, and that they ; were overwhelmed by force of numbers.— It was a surprint 1 in open daylight. At 3 p, in. tin' important advance posi tion of Orchard Knob, and the lines right and left were in our possession, and arrange ments were ordered for holding them dur ing the night. The next day at daylight. General Thomas had five thousand men across the Tennessee, and established on its south bank, and commenced the eon struction of a pontoon bridge about six i miles above Chattanooga. The rebel steamer Itunharwas repaired at the right uioirft'iit and rendered effective aid in this crossing, carrying over six thou sand men. By nightfall Gen. Thomas had seized ! the extremity of Mission Ridge nearest the ; river, and was intrenching himself. Gen. Howard, with a brigade, opened '• communication with him from Chattanoo ga, on the south side of the river. Sklr- j misliing and cannonading continued all j day on the left and centre, lien. I looker scaled the slopes of Lookout Mountain and from *tlie valley of liookout Creek, mid drove the rebels around tho point. II captured gome two thousand prisoners anil established himself high up the mountain side, in full view of Chattanooga. This raised tho blockade, and now steam ers were ordered from Bridgeport to Chat tanooga. They had only run to Kellev's Perry, whence ten miles of hauling over mountain roads and twice across the Ten nessee onto pontoon pridges, brought us our supplies. All night the point of Mission Ridge oh the extreme left, and the side of Lookout Mountain on the extreme right, blazed with tho camp fires of loyal troops. Tho day had been one dense of mist and rains, ami much of Gen. !looker » buttl had oemf'Ught above the cloud,, which i concealed him from our view, but from ] WTiictl Ills tilt! k( ; \ * h< At nightfall the sky cleared and the full ! moon, "the traitor's doom."shone upon the j beautiful scene, until 1 a. m.. when twink ling sparks upon the mountain side show ed that picket skirmishing was ioing on. Then it ceased. A brigade sent from ('liat tanooga crossed the Chattanooga creek and opened communication with Hooker. Gen. Grant's headquarters during the afternoon of the 2!id and the day of the j 24th, were in Wood's redoubt, except when : in the course of the day, he rode along the j advanced line, visiting the headquarters ] of tho several commanders to Chattanooga ] Valley. At daylight on the 25th the Stars and Stripes were descried on the Peak of Look out. The rebels had evacuated the moun tain. Hooker moved to descend the moun tain. and striking Mission Ridge at the Rossv-Jlc Gap to sweep on both sides and on its summit. The rebel troops were seen, as soon as it was light enough, streaming regiments nnd brigades along the narrow summit of j Mission Ridge, either coneentratingon the I right to overwhelm Sherman, or marching * for the railroad and raising the siege. They had evacuated the valley of Chat tanooga. Would they abandon that of; Chickatnauga ? The 20-pounders and 4 J -inch rifles of! Wood's redoubt opened on Mission Ridge. ; Orchard Knob sent its compliments to the Ridge, which with rifled l'arrotts answer- j cd, and tho cannonade thus commenced, continued all day. Shot and shell scream ed from Orchard Knob, and from Wood's ' . redoubt over the lands of Generals Grant i and Thomas anrl their staffs, who wen ■with us in this favorable position, from ' \ whence the whole bottle could be seen in i an ampithcatre. The headquarters tcerc ' , 112 under fire all day long. Cannonading and musketry were heard , from General Sherman, and Gen. How- j k ard marched the Eleventh Corp.- to join ; , Ik him. ■i General Thomas sent out skirmishers 1 ■b«vlto drove in the rebel pickets, and chased , them into their entrenchments, and at the j 5 foot of Mission Ridge Sherman made an . against Bragg's right, entrenched j j knob to that, ou which • ThCM " 1 Sherman reached tjffe -- ->f rraai ' and held his ground for, it 1 au hour, but was bloodily repulsed hy serves. A general advance was ordered, and a strong line of skirmishers, followed by a deployed line of battle some two miles in P length. At the signal of leaden shots from the headquarters on Orchard Knob, the line moved rapidly and orderly for ward . The rebel pickets discharged their muskets and ran iuto their rifle pits. Our skirmishers followed on their heels. The line of battle was not far behind. j I and we saw the gray rebels swarm out of j I the ledge line of rifle pits, in number; I I which surprised us, and over the base of j A the hill. A few turned and fired their ■ pieces, but the greater number collected into the many roads which cross obliquely , i its steep face. and went ontoUhelrtnp. j t Some regiments pressed on and swarm ed up the steep sides of the ridge, and here and there a color was advanced be yond the lines. The attempt appeared most dangerous, but the advance was sup ported, and the whole was ordered to storm the heights, upon which not less than forty pifeees of artillery, and no one knew how many muskets stood ready to slaughter the assailants. With cheers answering to cheers, the men swarmed upwards. They i gathered to the points least difficult of as- I ceut. and the line was broken. Color af- I ter color was planted on the summit, while j musket and cannon vomited their thunder j upon them. A well directed shot from Orchard Knob : exploded a rebel caisson on the summit, I and the gun was seen galloping to their right, its driver lashing his horses. A party of our soldiers intercepted them, and the gun was captured.with cheers. A fierce musketry figl.t broke out to the 1 left, where, between Th miasand Sherman. ■I mile or two of the ridge was still occupi- . j ed by the rebels. j Bragg left the house in which be had 1 I held his headquarter.-, and rode to the rear as our troops crowded the hill on cither j side of him. General Grant proceeded to ' the summit, aud there did we only know its j height. Some of the captured artillery was put Jin position. Artillerists were sent for to work the guns. Caissons were searched for ammunition. The rebel log breast- I works were torn to pieces and carried to the other side of the ridge and used in ibrining'barricades across. A strong line of infantry was formed in ! the rear of Btiird's line, hotly engaged in a musketry contest with the rebels to the j left, and a secure lodgement was soon ef- j fected. The other assault to the right of•our) cerftre gained the summit, and the rebels I threw down their arms and fled. Hooker coining in favorable# position | swept the right of the ridge and captured , many prisoners. Bragg's remaining troops left early in j | tho night, and the buttle of Chattantiogu, | j after daysof maneuvering and fighting was \ won. The strength of the rebellion in the j centre is broken. liwrnside is relieved from J j danger in East Tennessee. Kentucky and ! i Tennessee are rescio il. Georgia and thr j Southeast tire threatened in the rear, and I another victory is added to the chapter of u Unconditional Surrender Grant." ! To-night the estimates of captures is i several thousands of prisoners and thirty I pieces of artillery. i Our loss, for so great « victory, is not j j severe. Bragg is firing the railroad as he rc-! treats towards Dalton. Sherman is iu hot j pursuit. To-day T viewed the battle-field, which extends for six miles along Mission Ridge and for several miles on Lookout Moun- i tain. Probably not so irell ordereda battle has ■ been delivered during the war. Rut one | assault was repulsed ; but that assault, by ■ ••lling to that point the rebel reserves, prevented them repulsing any of the oth crs - , A few days since Bragg sent to General I | ' Irant a flag of truce advising him that it j ! would be prudent to remove any non-com- ; ! fat.tuts who might lie still in Chattanooga. No reply ha: 1 n returned, but the , | combatants having removed from this vi : cinity. it is probable that non-combatants I can remain without imprudence. M. C. MEWS, Quartermaster-General. ] MußnF.it WII.T. OUT.—K. C. Morris.a wealthy citizen of Madison, 111., has been j arrested, charged with murdering a man ! nearly nine years ago. The arrest was i , made on the affidavit of E. C. Clark.— ! j The Illinois State Register gives the fol j lowing particulars of the case : In 1855, Clark and Morris were out ; hunting together, and Clark's testimony is : j that they came across a man in the woods, and that Morris drew up his gun and shot him. Tho two together then buried the murdered victim and took a solemn oath never to reveal the secret. The oath has ! been kept for nearly nine years. But "murder will out." Clark's conscience continued to cry out against him and dis turb him with visions of ghost by night, i and compunctions of dread and horror by day. lie could stand it no longer, and ; hence the oath bound secret, so long lock- ! I ed up in his troubled breast, was publisli- I ed to the world. Morris, now the murder has been ex posed, accuses Clark of having committed the foul deed, but admit# that he helped to bury the victim, and that they had sworn together never to reveal the secret. It is said that Morris and Clark recently qnar- j reled about some business matters,and thus Clark made the expose on that account. After the preliminary examination be fore the justice of the peace, Clark and Morris both pointed out the place where they had buried the murdered man. His bones were found and exhumed. The name of the unfortunate victim has not yet been learned. We have also heard that the murdered man was a kind of railroad contractor, and that he had possession at the time of bis death some §7,000. which was divided be tween the two, but as to its correctness we cannot say.

The Judgeship. The protracted contest for the appoint , meiit of a Judge to lrll the vacancy in this I district, occasioned by the election of J udgc Agnew to the supreme bench, has been , terminated by the appointment, by Gov f ernor Curtin. of L. L. Maguffin, Esq., of . New Castle. We had hoped for a more favorrble con . summation of this contest, i We knetr that our county was entitled to this honor. We believed that a con ference of the district would secure us the I voice of a majority of the counties compo | sing it. We knew that, while Lawrence County had, on one or more occasions, endeavored to throw off Judge Agnew. we adhered to 1 him with tenacity. When his first term expired, our people, without distinction of 1 party, tendered him their united support 1 for re-election. This, in connection with ' other political considerations, had led us to believe that Heaver county would not turn her back on us now. In this, bow ever, we were disappointed. Wo met them at their own time and place, (and that too, at an unusual place out of the district.) We offered togo into a nomi nation. and to abide the result of it; hut this did not meet the views of the majori ty of that conference! They refused togo into nominationa at 11. And thus, we were obliged to return home as we went, with 1 the consolation, however, of having done our duty—of having done all in own pow er to retain harmony in the district. Failing to get justice at the hands of this conference, we next appealed to his Excellency, (lov. Curtin—we asked, behalf of the largest county in the district —and.which had given the largest Re publican vote at the late election, the ap pointment of E. 31'Junkin, Ksq., of this I place, a gentleman eminently qualified, ! both by nature and education, for the re sponsible position—who. although a relia ble Republican, is not a politician, in the common acceptation of that term, and would therefore bo the more acceptable to all parties, and enjoy the confidence of all; but again we have been disappointed. I'ndcr these circumstances it is a satis faction to know, that nothing has been left | undone that could honorably be done in Mr. M'-Junkin's behalf. It was not, after all, very remarkable that the Governor could not see his way clear to appoint Mr. M'Junkiu. Our county was the only one in the district that opposed his re-uomina- Ition; while Lawrence and Heaver, both] ■ supported him warmly; still he had many and warm friends here, and Mr. M'.Jun kin was one of them—and had it been generally known that lie desired a re-nom inatioti, our county would have been for 1 him. If he could not gratify us by the appoint ment of our favorite, still he could at least have done, as was suggested, appointed •we gentleman outside the district, to pc until wo could elect next fall—-had is been done, wo would not have felt so much like complaining j as it is, wc feel quite differently. Complaints, however. ; can do little good. Having no personal quarrel with Judge M'Guffin.- it is to be hoped, that while. In remain* on 'tin- bench, our people will treat him with that courtesy, due alike to him and-tho position he occupies. In the 1 mean time, we trust, such action will be taken as will best protect ourselves from a continuance of tho wrong which we all ! feel has been done us. And, in this, we expect to show a united people. All that is wanting to extricate us from the hu miliating position we now occupy, is un yielding firmness, and all will be well. Exemption from (lie Draft. Tho enormous number of drafted men who escaped military duty by reason of physical infirmity has produced a change in thfl regulations of the Provost Marshal General. Anew list of causcsof exemp tion is published, in which the catalogue , ; of available maladies is considerably re- j | duced. Near-sighted men, who flattered \ j themselves that their deficient eyesight j formed a perpetual bar against tho impo- ! ; sition of military obligations, are suddenly ! ' and hopelessly bereft of the consolation 1 1 derived from the infliction of "myopia;" ; ; for, under the new rule, myopic individ- i uals who are re illy too near, sighted for j efficient field service are transferred to the j ! Invalid .corps. •• XV u'-sighte ! do«' not ; exempt,'' the stern decree of the Mar--j i slml; hence, spectacles will not bo so pop- ; | ular hereafter. Fat men, however, who , ; are a proverbially jolly people, have a new 1 ■ cause for good humor, for it is ordained that "abdomens grossly "protuberant" or "excessive obesity," are sufficient for ex emption from any draft whatever. Imbe ciles. insane, epileptic and paralytic per sons are, of course exempt; but the list of maladies through tile possession of which a drastcd man may evade duty is so closely restricted and defined that the i next draft will (•oducc a larger proportion |of serviceable soldiers than the last Ex- ' 1 amining suyreons arc also required to re pert the number of men rejected under each of the forty-one.sections of the new set of regulations, from which it is to be inft'Tcd that a very curious official record of the comparative soundness of Ameri can constitutions may hereafter sec the 1 i light.— Commercial. i For the American Citizen.

'Hie winding process was in the head—the brains of the vagrants—the hot-bear was the motive power—its incense j the key.

"In abstractnoss," muttered the Coun sellor. The Major proceeded to elucidate: "Caius Marius, who was seven times consul of Home, was a great general, but a bad citizen.

FMWISATION TO TIIK UNITED STATUS. —The large and continuous emigration fi im Ireland tothcKnitcd States of Amer ica is naturally attracting a considerable share of attention. Week by week, and innnth after month, the people leave for Nov \ ork. some in returning grain ships, some in steamers, some as stow-aways, as « la-las opportunity serves. Nothing will stop them. Emigration has long been the 11 .-hinan's favorite resource, but now it is _, a national < >f course, this is not a \erv pleasant spectacle for Englishmen. \\ v. who have relinquished home politics in order to be free to advise the Govern ments of the world in the management of" M affairs, have the liiortifiction of seeing the 1 shores uf the I 'nited Kingdom abandoned, sometimes with a malediction, by our own people. Explanations, however plausible, can do little to reconcile us to the fact.— \\ e have been accustomed to repeat that a country from which people are anxious to escape must be badly governed. Now the test is brought home to us, and foreigners are saying, '• Physician, heal thyself." It is the best portion of the Irish population which is leaving us—the young, the hale, the hopeful, the energetic. The strong est influences are weak and ineffectual be fore the all-engrocing thought of Ameri ca. The priest, listened to so readily on ■ most other subjects, is powerless on this. L lie tries to detain the members of his flock, J" for Irs fellow-priests across the Atlantic I. j have informed him of the perils which faith encounters in the country of their j ' choice, lint in the end, his counsel be- Jl ing unheeded, he finds himself assisting in the arrangements for their departure and marching them up, with little bundles on their shoulders, to receive thb bishop's parting blessing. The most various causes arc assigned i for this universal and irresistable move ment.
