GI II rohgterin 'fanner. PITTSBURGH, JANUARY 13, 1863 The War. No very important events have occurred in the field since our last issue. Some alarm was excited last week by the enemy's movements in West Virginia, but the ru mor,. of his designs and operations in this inarter prove to have been greatly exag gerated. The raid which was attempted, having in view the cutting of the Baltimore Railroad and the capture of the Federal fore: , found on the route, has been an en tire failure. The rebels were obliged to retreat without effecting anything toward the accomplishment of their object. Bvery , thing is reported quiet in the direction of Cuiuherland Gap. The railroad is perfect : 3y safe, and open to unobstructed travel. DIE PRINCIPAL NEWS from the Army .of the Potomac is the issue of an order prohibiting all newspaper oorrespondents connected with the army from publishing the number or designation of regiments r6nlitiog in the army or leaving the same, the number of reilnlistments, of the num ber of men furloughed. THE FEDERAL . FORCES under General Grant have gone into Winter quarters. The Congratulatory'Order recently issued by this distinguished General cannot fail to interest our readers. It reminds one of the sententious and stirring addresses of Bonaparte to his enthusiastic and vieto- rious soldiers, while it is characterized by a spirit of disinterested patriotism which never animated the breast of the great French commander. The order is as fol . lows: HEADqUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF TRR MISSISSIPPI. IN Tilt FIELD, CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.,'Dec. 10. 1862. GENL•'RAL ORDERS No, 9.—The General commanding takes this opportunity of re turning his sincere thanks and congratula tions to the brave Armies of the Cumber land, the Ohio, the Tennessee, and their comrades from the Potomac, for the recent splendid and decisive successes achieved over the enemy. In a short time you have recovered from him the control of the Ten nessee River from Bridgeport to Knoxville. You dislodged him from his great strong hold upon Lookout Mountain, drove him from Chattanooga Valley, wrested from his determined grasp the possession of Mis sionary Ridge, repelled with heavy loss to him his repeated assaults upon Knox ville, forcing him to raise the siege there, driving him at all points, utterly routed and discomfited, beyond the limits of the State. By your noble heroism and determined courage, you have most effectually defeated the plans of the enemy for regaining pos session of the States of Kentucky and Ten nessee. You have secured positions from which no rebellious power can drive or dis lodge you. For all this the General Com manding thanks you collectively and indi •vidually. The loyal people of the United States thank and bless you. Their hopes and prayers for your success against this -unholy rebellion, are with you daily. Their faith in you will not be in vain. Their hopes will not be blasted. Their prayers to Almighty God will be answered. :You will yet go to other fields of strife; and with the invincible bravery and un flinching loyalty to justice and right which bare characterized you in the past, you will prove that no enemy can withstand you, and that no defenses, however' formidable, can check your onward march. By order of Maj.-Gen. U. S. GRANT. T. S. BOWERS, Ass't. Art.-General. CONSIDERABLE movements are reported ss in progress in the Department under Gen. Banks, though they are said to be of a character which does not permit their being at present made known to the public. News brought last week of an expedition having left New-Orleans for Mobile, has not been confirmed. Preparations are being made to meet the threatened movements of the enemy in Central Texas. Exchange of Prisoners. Gen. Butler succeeded in getting 500 isoners exchanged. The rebels then re sed to make any more exchanges, except terms unreasonable. They also refused bold any intercourse with Gen. Butler, being an outlaw, by the proolamation of eir President. The General has since been at Washington, conferring with the President and Secretary of War. The re sult is said to be, that his powers are en larged ; that all the prisoners we hold arb entrusted to him, and to be exchanged only by him. It is also said that there is to he a call for 100,000 volunteers for a short term of service, with which force General Butler is to take Richmond. _This .last re port needs confirmation. We do not know that Gen. Butler is the man to lead such an army. Such an army, however, should be raised, and greater still, and put under a competent military commander who would be well sustained. Gen, Butler is well qualified to manage the exchange of prison era and if the Government will carry out his counsels promptly, our brave men will sood be released from Libby prison. Congress. Congress was to have met for business on Tuesday the otb. Some members were in the seats, but not a quorum in either house. Many members were detained, by the cold and storm which had prevailed for three days. On Wednesday there was some little business done. Also Some little on Thurs day. The House then adjourned over till Monday. A resolution offered by Mr Rog ers, of N. J., recommending the sending of Commissioners to Richmond with proposi tions of compromise and peace, was laid on the table, by a vote of 77 to 42. Mr. Baldwin, of Massachusetts, offered a preamble setting forth that as organized treason, baying its headquarters at Rich mond, exists in defiant violation of the na tional Constitution, and has no claim to be treated otherwise than as outlaws, it was, therefore, Resolved, That any proposition of nego- tiation with the rebels ought to be rejected without hesitation or delay. The resolution was adopted. Yeas, 88; Nays, 24. The preamble was then agreed to by a unanimous vote. In the Senate petitions are offered re questing that clergymen drafted shall be employed as Chaplains, and in hospitals. The enrollment bill is yet under discussion. Mr. Wilson proposes that the draft shall be for but eighteen months service. The President has sent in a message asking that bounties to volunteers may be continued. JAN. 11.—SENATE.—Mr. Dixon, of Con necticut, presented a memorial from the Friends of New• York, praying for exemp tion from the draft. Mr. Doolittle, of Wis., presented three memorials of citizens of Wisconsin, pray ing Congress to abolish slavery in the Ter ritories Referred. Mr. Carlisle, of Virginia, announced, in appropriate terms, the death of his col league, Mr. Bowden, and moved the usual resolutions of condolence, and that the Sen ators wear crape for thirty days; and that, as a further mark of respect, the Senate ad 'ourn. . The resolutions were adopted, and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE.-Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, introduced, to-day, a bill, the consideration of which was postponed till Febritarynext, providing that within all the territory of the so called Confederate States which has been or may be conquered and subdued by the federal arms, all laws and parts of laws which permit -slavery are henceforth abol ished, and that slavery shall never again be established within the said territory; and that hereafter no portion of it shall be ad mitted into the Union as a State, or be rep resented in' its Congress, except by dele gates, if the same should be authorilad, until the people within the territory form ing such State shall by its organic law for ever prohibit slavery therein. Senator M'Dougal's joint resolution in relation to the French occupation of Mex ico, asserts that it is an act unfriendly to the United States,'and that it is the duty of the Government to demand the with drawal of her armed forces from the Mexi can territory; that unless the withdrawal shall take place prior to the 15th day of March next, it is the duty of this Govern ment to declare war against France. The Entolment Bill. The Senate on Friday, Bth inst., had up the consideration of the $3OO clause in the Enrolment bill. Four Senators spoke in favor of retaining the clause, while but one (Mr. Lane of Ind.) spoke against it. The following is part of Mr. Wilson's remarks. He is the author of the Conscription Bill : Mr. Wilson, though instructed by his Committee to report the amendment re pealing the commutation clause, proceeded to speak in favor of its retainment. He be. lieved the Secretary of War was for striking it out. We have enrolled large numbers of men who will not be drafted. We shall not need all of these men, and a large por tion of the States will furnish volunteers. I think we have in the army 600,000 men —400,000 effective soldiers. I do not think the rebels have over 225,000. I have good reason for the belief. I think this rebellion will be crushed out by Octo ber. I do not think our army will be de pleted of more than 15,000 veterans before July. We raised - 86,000 men under press ure of the draft and the power of commuta tion, and I believe if the bounties are ex tended to February we shall put into the field more than half the amount called for by the Government. I desire the commu• tation clause to be retained, and the term of service to be shortened to eighteen months, and shall moveso to amend the bill 'Nor the Presbyterian Banner Receipts for the Boards.

' and for all of which we are indeed very thank ful. • With the Apostle of old, "we rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at the last their care of us hath . flourished again;" we rejoice .as he did, no doubt, under his straightened circumstances ; Ist, because of wants sup plied; 2d, because of the good feeling man ifested, which is often more comforting, and cheering than the largest gifts; 3d, for a higher and nobler reason, because of the evidences of a gracious state, as witnessed in their regard, for the whole Word of God, and for vows solemnly taken before Presby tery and high heaven, to continue, &c and whatever else you may see needful tor the honor of religion and his comfort among you. Although ministers might possibly survive hard times, knowing how to be abased as well as to abound; notwith. standing, with Paul we may say, ~" Ye have well done in that ye did commuEicate with our afflictions, caused by the many de preciations;" and with him we may say truly of this people, " once and again have they sent unto our necessity," and we re ceived with grateful hearts the things that were brought by them, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice well plaasing and accepta ble unto God, and unto us. And that God may supply all their need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus, is the sin cere wish of their pastor, C. l PARK. GlailiAquague :Manse, Dec. 31st, 1863. The Hon. Caleb B. Smith, Judge of the United States Court for the District of Indiana, and late Secretary Of the Interior, died in his office in the Court room, on the evening of the Bth inst., of hermorrhage of the stomach. At the annual election for officers and directors of the Young Men's Mercantile Library Associa tion, held on the 11th itisL at their rooms, the fpowing 'named geiitlemen were chosen: Prefickal—Felix R.

Auditors—James Collord, James E. Dickson; A. Filson Da The Message of Governor Curtin, to the Leg islature of Pennsylvania, is a businesh document of much value. Its recommendations touching the interests of the State, show much thought of the public welfare, and are likely to meet with general approbation. For one - of them, how ever, we are sorry; as it amounts, in our estima tion, to a breach of faith. It is, that Pennsyl vania shall hereafter pay interest on her debt in a depreciated'currency. The most of her funded debt bears but five per cent. interest. The money was lent to her on faith in her honor. It was in funds equal to gold, and the expecta tion was, that both principal-and interest would be paid in such funds. It is true that U. S. Treasury notes are a legal tender, and the State finds it patriotic, if not necessary, to receive these notes for taxes. But it is to be noted also that taxes are laid, mainly, on the business and products of the country, which have risen, and will still rise, as the price of gold rises. Hence the taxes -should advance accordingly, so ,as to enable the state to buy gold to pay her interest. We hope that the Leg islature will maintain the honor of the State un tarnished. • The Governor has approved bills re-chartering eigkteen banks. He recommends an extension of the suspension law He thanks New-York and New-Jersey for prompt aid at the titne our State was invaded. He recommends increased taxation, and various other matters of public interest. The State debt is thirty-nine million four hun dred and ninety-six thousand five hundred and ninety six dollars. .'This debt we used to think enormous, but it is altogether dwarfed by the magnitude of the National debt. 10.35 26.00 11.50 4an. 11.—The Treasury Department has made arrangements for supplying the destitute inhab itants in the country along the lines occupied or traversed by the Army-of the Potomac, the in habitants to pay for the goods before they are shipped by the authorized traders. If they are then destroyed by guerrillas, the inhabitants, of course, bear the loss. This, it is believed, will tend to curtail the operations of the guerrillas. $ 83.68 The Senate has confirmed the promotions to Major-Generalship of Gene. Buford, Strong, and Whipple, all of whom received their commissions on their death-beds. Speaker Colfax has issued an order forbid ding the sale of liquor in the Rouse wing of the Capitol, and his order is beipg strictly enforced, $ 46.4 4 The President has ordered a court martial to assemble to try Surgeon Gen. Hammond on charges of mal-admiuistration in office. Jan. 12th.--The -proposition to revive the grade of. Lieut. General with a view of giving it to General Grant, still hangs fire in the House Military Committee. It is understood that when it is reported back to the House it will be opposed from some unexpected quarter. The present delay arises, however, from technical questions as 'to law, and from fears that its passage would be apt to take Gen. Grant out of the field. Oth ers favor it on the ground that it would be all the better if it did this, and put him in Halleck's office. -- $72.64 $38.50 T. H. Na.vni. The Senate administration members had a long caucus this afternoon. The time was mostly taken up in diieussing two special committees, one on Emancipation, the other.on the Conduct of the War. It was finally determined to create both into that on Emancipation, and will have referred to it all questions relating, to the .condi don of freedmen and the like. It is understood that Sumner is to be chairman. A long debate ensued on the proposition that in reviving Wade's Committee it should be made to embrace the ex penditures as well as the military conduct of the war. The proposition finally prevailed. Ben. Wade will of course be chairman again, and through this enlargeinent of duties wily have even a more important and responsible position than last year. It is reported that Harris, the Maryland Con gressman, died a day or two ago, at his residence is Maryiand. The report is not credited, how ever. Oen.

B.—Reliable information from Cumberland, Maryland, this morning, says that there are no rebels in the =fatty of Cumberland. They have retreated from the vicinity of Peters burg, and have gone in the 'direction of Staun ton. All is quiet along the whole line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and the trains are running regularly. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 .— Since the receipt of the newspaper telegram early this morning, announ cing the appearance of Fitz Lee and. Imboden with a rebel column, threatening Petersburg and Cumberland, Md., the Star says a dispatch has reached the headquarters of the army in this city, directly from Gen. Kelly, stating that the rebels have retreated from these vicinities. Sale of the Million Estate. WASHINGTON, January 11.—At the sale of con fiscated property in Virginia to-day, the Arling ton Estate was bid in by the Government. at $26,- 800. For this property the Government had three or four competitors. The Custis mill farm was purchased by M. E. Flannegan at $4,100. There were in all thirteen sales, amounting to 50,600.

CAIRO, January , 11.—The steamer Commercial, from Memphis, has arrived with S 5 bales of cot ton for New-York, and 100 for St. Louis. There is a rumor that Forrest has been re inforced, and contemplates an attack on Mem phis. The Growth of Chicago The following table compares the official re turns of the population of Chicago, showing an astonishing growth : 1830..

Items A Rebel Admission.—The rebetSecretary of the Navy, Mr. Mallory, gives full confirmation of the statements heretofore published, concerning the plot to release the rebel prisoners on Johnson's Island. He says in his official report: "During the months of July and August, I sent twenty seven commissioned officers and fiirty trustwor thy petty officers to the British Provinces, with orders to immediately organize an expedition and cooperate with army officers in an attempt to re lease the Confederate prisoners confined on John son's Island, in Lake Erie. From time to.time I learned that the arrangements made were such as to warrant the most complete success. A large amount of money had been expended, and just as our gallant naval officers were about to set sail on this expedition, the English authorities gave information to the enemy, and this prevented the execution of one of the best planned enterprises of the present war." Speed 67 Vessels in the Ntrog.—A table of com parative and average speeds now before us shows that the averagispeed of the old. U. 8. sailing ships was eleveseand st quarter knots an hour; of the older. steam navy, built from 1835 to 1858, dnly eight and four-tenths knots ; of the steamers built since the rebellion, eight and ihree-tenths knots. This last average is lowered by the 44 knots of nine monitors, but contains twelve side wheel steamers at 10, twenty-three gunboats at under 8, and fourteen others mostly built by pri vate contract, at 10, one being at only 8 knots. The blockade-runners and pirates make from 14 to 15 up to 20 knots an hour. This'a sufficiently humiliating story. The Bible Panorama. EDITORS GAZETTE :—Permit me to call the at tention of your readers to a painting now on ex hibition in our city, with the above title. It is really a meritorious work, and deserving of a liberal patronage. The Panorama begins by representing chaos, and God said " Let there be light, and there was light," and light appears, Tt carries the spectator on from the creation of dint, and his possession of the Garden of Eden, to his being driven out by. the Lord - God, and a flaming sword to guard the *ay to the Tree of Life. And thence on. in the development of the life of man, to the selling of JosePh into Egypt, and his wonderful elevation to the throne— coming down to the time of Solomon's . Temple, when the Queen of Sheba came to offer him gifts, spices and frankincense. The painting, as °'a. work of art., is will exe outed, and the time spent in seeing it will be passed both pleasantly and profitably. The representation of the Deluge, the thunder and lightning, followed by torrents or roin, the at tempted escape of the inhabitants from the croaching water, are all well portrayed. The Panorama is accompanied with suitable and ap propriate remarks by a lecturer, and altogether it is well adapted to excite anew.and more lively interest in the study of this Sacred Scrip tures; and if the commendation •of one who has had the pleasure of seeing, but has no in terest to serve in expressing his admiration, will induce others to visit it, be will be amplyrepaid. _Gazette.

' Address janl3•]t _ pROSPECTIUS FOR 1864. "310.1huie , 11 1 117*.m•Xcill * An independent Democratic Daily, Semi- Weekly and Weekly Newspaper. THE WORLD, to which the New-York Weekly Argus has been united, has to-day five tithes the aggregate circulation of any Democratic or conservative newspaper. It addresses weekly alone more than 100,000 subset them and constant purchasers, and reaches at least half a million readers , . With the steady increase in circulation which it now enjoys, these numbers will soon be doubled. Nothing less than this should satisfy those who believe that the only hope of restoring the Union and the authority of the Constitution over a now distracted and divided country. lies in wn sting power from the hands of those whose fanaticism has helped to provoke, invite, and prolong the war and that to amain pits& this end, no means is. so effective as the diffusion, through able and enterprising newspapers, of sound political knowledge among the working men, the thinking men, and the voting men of the North. Enterprise, industry and money will he liberally expend ed to make THE Wimp the BEST NEW SPA P ER IN AMER-' TC.a. Its news from every part of the world will be early and authentic. Wherever the telegraph extends, or rail roads run, or steamboats ply, it will gather the latest intel ligence. It has n large staff of accomplished correepondents with all the Federal armies, who will telegraph and write to us the latest news from the various scats of war. It has cor respondents and reporters in every political and commercial centre in America and Europe,- whose letters and dispatches will leave nothing worthy of note unknown to its readerit Tax Maexer REPORTS of the Wontai are more complete than those of any other newspaper. The Editors invite comparison in this respect and point to the reports of the Cattle Markets, the general and country Produce Markets, and the. Money Market in its colninns, as proof of its excel lence in this respect. The WORLD has also a special depart ment devoted to Agriculture, filled with editorial articles, communications from practical farmers, and selected twitter, making. a valuable arid useful paper for the Farmers and Mechanics of the country. The war in which the nation is engaged against armed and infatuated Rebels, and the radical policy of the administra tion which prnlongs it, have - ceneptred to bring together upon one platform all conservative, Union-loving and Con stitution loving men. of whatever former name and creed. Many of those who, within the limits of the Constitution, fought the battles of the ballot-box:ander the leadership ot those paint 'tie statesmen of other and better days, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, tog,efher with the masses whose principles were those ot such patriots as Andrew .Tacksen and William L. Marcy, Silas Wright end Stephen A. Douglas, now stand 'shoulder to shoulder upon the seine platform acid under the same banner. The platform is a plain one It Is to restore the &nien, maintain the Cnneti tution, and enforce the Laws. Whatever makes for this end, the exercite of force or the policy of conciliation, Tar. WORLD will advircate ; whatever makes against% Tar WORLD Will oppose. IL will oppose every enemy to THE. UNION, whether armed in rebellion at the South or insidiously planting• the seeds ei disunion and essential disloyalty at the North. It will oppose every violation of THE CONSTITUTION, which is the only hope and bond of Union, and opr only au thority for exhorting or compelling the allegiance of the South.. It will oppose every infraction of THE LA,W, in high places or in low, by reckless and mieguided Notleans, or by the administration which has been their example. It will fearlessly exercise the Freedom of the Press; it will constantly uphold and defend Freedom of Speech and Fresdonof the Ballet. To the lawless arts of the Administration its arbitrary and 'unjust arrests and eopatriations, its denial of the riot to the writ of habeas corpus, its illegal proclamations, iteebro gallon of State and Federal laws, its despotic occumnlatlons of ungranted power, and Its subversions of the safegnards of aid/ and personal liberty, it will constantly oppose the letter and the spirit of our surreme law and the advoc icy of sound doctrine, until American freemen shall be roused to the recovery of their rights, their liberties, their laws, and their limited and well-balanced government, by the resist lees decision of the ballot. PLOmildly impressed with the desire to contribute nil that it may to the great:work o' this generation—namely, to restore oar national unity, *ad to place the. United Stat.-s egalo foremost among the nations of the earth, aud first in the peace, prosperity, and liappinese of its people—Tite WORLD seeks from thole who desire such things, their sym pathy and support.' and, above all, the favor of Him who crowos every good work.
