ruE LATEST WAR NEWS.

Parson BrownIow has met the Rebels
in East Tennessee in battle, and de-
feated them. They acknowledge it. A dis
patch in the Memphis papers Of the I'd instant
states that on the LIST, Sunday, Brownlow, at
the head of 5000 Union troops. attacked the
enemy ut Morristown, Tenn, and was sgnally
victorious. Even this Rebel Dispatch calls it q
Union victory. No further particulars are
known.
We have, as on offset 10 the above, intel
ligence of disastrous nature from Missouri
Our authority is, however, The Memphis hra-
lanehe, q very questionable source. The news
il, this: that Gen. Rains has cut Col. Mont
eomcrys force to pieces, at some place care
fully omitted from the narrative, and has taken
him prisoner. Also, that Ben McCulloch has
surrounded Sige at Sedalia, and that the latter
would be forced to surrender or be destroyed.
The third item Of The Memphis Araianehe news
is, that Price is on the way to st. Louis, that
the people everywhere flock to his standard
and that he will have an army of 10000 when
he reaches his destination. This entire dispatch
is certainly exaggerated, and probably lie.
The rebels have for some time been In the
daiiy habit of coming out OF Fairfax Court
House in large bodies, then breaking up into
smaller scouting parties, and prowing about
our Hnes their highest ambition being to pick
up stray Union soldier. Becoming tired OF
this, aud thinking it quite time for some re-
TAXATION, S. Of the Sd New-Jersey Regiment
went out yesterday and stretched across
certain road two telegraph wires; then retired
littls way, and watched the trap Shortly
thereafter, body OF rebel cavalry came on at
speed they were equally surprised and
damaged. Being partly thrown from their
horses aud mostly thrown into confusion, they
ien an easy prey to our troops, who killed
some and took others prisoners. A few more
sharp lessons like this will have oehehcia'
effect on the rebel scouting parties.
A prisoner who was taken in the affair just
alludod 70 bod ia hi. pocket alp from q
Southern paper, in which occurs dispatch
from New Orleans, dated Nov. %. speaking OF
Il review of q, 600 men there, aud of tho pres
ence of regiment Of l,4OO FREQ blacks. As
all interesting item, il is also stated that one
of tho companies carried a black flag with the
motto--" We give and take no quarter"
A prisoner recently captured at Port Royal
stated that the ship Fiugal, from Glasgow,
with 40 rined cannon, aud a large cargo Of
small arms and ammunition, went up the Sa-
vannah River under cover Of fog since we
captured the forts and batteries at Hilton
Head. lie also says that there are 5000 rebel
troops at Savannah. No Que believes his
report
From Kentucky We learn that Gen. Zolli-
Golfer is on the south side Of the Cumberland
River with 1900 men aud some good artillery.
Gen. SchoG is Oh the other side, and will be
ready to engage bin as soon as the river re-
cedes. A fight is shortly expected.

The Tammany Hall General Committee met
last evening, but instead Of calling primary
elections, and adjourning sine die, as usual, ad-
iourned subject to the Call Of the Chair, till the
result of the official canvass is announced.
The big and little Indians were cheerful over
the defeat of Fernando Wood, and professed
to have some hope that Gunther might yet be
elected. We don't want to dispel their anna
BILE Illusion, but unless the Canvassers should
resort to most outrageous frauds, which they
will hardly attempt in view Of tho vast num-
Der OF checks which have been kept upon them
by persons specially employed for that purpose
it is not possible to deprive Mr.. Opdyke Of his
. election, so they might as well yield gracefully
to their memorable fate. 1t is now generally
understood that the clamor for Guntber was
originated by some Of those who, having staked
heavily upon his success, desired to hedge,
and thus retrieve their losses. Finding thai
the trick was too stale, they have given up the
Job, and the public are now well satisfied thai
the Mayor elect is George Opdyke. Neverthe
less, our friends, the Aldermen, will bea'
watching.

The Aldermen of our city met yesterday a;
q Board Of Canvassers, and, after brief SOS
sion, devoted mainly to the appointment of SIN
clerks, adjourned TO ii O'Clock to-day. The
returns were not touched, though Aid. Dayton
tried to have the canvass proceeded with.
May We not fairly urge the Aldermen-having
seen that nearly all the returns are on haGd, and
sent as many officers as may be needful after
those that are still mssing--to take up the
votes for Mayor and complete the canvass Of
these before adjourning tonight They can
do this if they will, and they ought to do it.
The City is agtated by whispers and rumors
that the Mayor elect is to be somehow swinded
out Of bis certificate. A leading Alderman is
confidently quoted as having given assurances
that Mr.. Gunfher will be declared elected.
This may be a sporting mans device to hedge
or draw his bets, or it may be something a
great deal worse; but it cannot be otherwise
to the City.
The result of the election for Mayor is per.
fectly settled and well known. The Express

fact that slaves escaping from the Rebels, and

to be followed by the immediate punishment OF

When the slave owner declares that his chat
tells arc tranquil, if not happy, we may be
almost certain that he lives in daily fear OF the
dagger. tie bowl, or the torch. Gen. Drayton,
comm anding the Third Military District in the
Department of South Carolina, has addressed
m Gov Pickans nm official Dispatch in which
he SAYS he has not heard of any act Of pill
laying, incendiarism, or violence, In any direc-
ton, from the slaves. He says few have
shown a spirit of INSTRUMENTATION, by refusing
to move higher up the country, but pretends to
think that this is owing to feeling Of dis
may and utter helplessness at being left
g alone"-that is, by the pusanimous fight Of
their masters. The General moreover cOolly
says that now, the fright of the slaves being
over, they are coming out of their hiding
places; and he has positively the colossal i'm
pudepce to declare that they have " resumed
their agricultural lsbors" without tho pres.
ence and the whip Of any oyerseer. This is o
very foolish lie, because every man connected
with .be great Port Royal Expedition know,
how stupendous the ialsehood is Hardly
not disclose state of dire terror On the part
of the whites with reference to tho slaves.
Four families, as we learn from perfectly re-
sponsble source, have been poisoned. and Of them
three have died The names of these families
are, two Cohens, one Moses, one Jacobs. 1t
is said, also, that ten of the suspected slaves
have been executed, in what manner we are
not informed. The dread engendered by such
cases as these is widespread, and no buster
or brayado can quito conceal tho tremor of the
voice which mortal fear induces.

Mr.. Trumbull yesterday introduced into the
Senate his bill for confscating rebels property,
and setting slaves free. This bill he explained
and advocated in long speech printed else
where in full. 1t provides for the absolute and
complete forfeiture to the United States Of
every species of property belonging to persons
who during the existence Of the present re-
beon, shall take up arms against the United
States. This forfeiture is to be enforced
against property in the rebelliOus districts
through the military power, and against prop
erty in other portions Of the United States
where the judicial power is not Obstructed by
the rebellion, through the Courts, and the pro-
ceeds of the property Of each individual seized
aud forfeited is to be subject to the just claims
of loyal creditors, to be held for the benefit OF
loyal citizens despoiled of property by the re-
beion, and to defray the expenses incurred Ill
its suppression. The bill also fOriets the claims
Of all rebels and those who give them did and
comfort to the persons they hold in Slavery.
The bill declares that slaves thus forfeited shall
be free, and makes it the duty of the President
te provide for the colonization of such as may
be willing to go to some tropical country where
they may have the protection of the Govern
ment, and be secured in oil the rights aud
privileges of freemen.
