that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will
be prosecuted for the object of practical
ly restoring the constitutional relations
between the United States and the peo-
pie thereof in which States that relation
is or may be suspended or disturbed; that
it is my purpose upon the next meeting
of Congress TO again recommend the
adoption of a practical measure tender

Or rejection of all the slave States, so
called, the people whereof may not then

and which States may then have volun-
tarily adopted, or thereafter may volun-
tarily adopt an immediate or gradual
adjustment of slavery within their re-
spectiye limits; and that the efforts to
colonize persons of African descent, with
their consent, upon the continent, or
elsewhere, with the previously obtained
consent of the Government exist
ing there, will be continued. That on
Die first daycf January, in the gear Of our
Lord, one thousand eight hundred and Sirty-
three, all persons held as SLAVES ,Oitaia any
STATE, or 'o,thin any designated part of STATE,

scented in the Congress of the United

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The joy which the glorious news from the
Burnside Expedition caused throughout the city
yesterday was greatly heightened by learning the
smallness of tho losses on our side. Forty-two
killed aud about one hundred and forty wound
ed comprise our casualties. The fall and able
letter of our special correspondent which we
print this morning, contains complete history
Of the affair, and will be read with lively in

Tie whole affair from the fret steady
advance toward the enemys batteries,
on Friday morning, to the taking Of
Ldentcn, on "Wednesday, was indeed bril-
liant. Blow after blow was struck, the Rebels
becoming more aud more bewidered each hour,
till general and long-continued panic seized
them and sent those of tnem who could escape
flying into the interior, leaving their arms,
equipments, aud baggage along the road, and
carrying most exaggerated stories Of thor own

prisoners; have destroyed hostle fleet; have

and have inspired our armies with courage,

FORT pONELsON ATTACKED.

We are moving now, in earnest! At late
hour last night we received the exciting news,
which will be found in another column, 10 the
elect that the attack upon Fort Done'son was
begun on Thursday aud that vigorous fghl
had been kept up through the day, at the close
Of which the fort in one part showed signs Of
weakness, and the Rebels had gained not az
inch of advantage.
On Wednesday, Gen. Grant, his star, and
body-guard the artillery and whole force OF
infantry, Left Fort Henry for Fort Dooelson.
This branch of the army numbered 10000.
On the same day eleven regiments lef, Padu'
cab, under convoy OF gunboats, 70 60 up the
Cumberland, making in all ~ attacking force
Of over 80, ZOO men.
On Tbursdsy morning, this force invested
the fort, almost entirely surrounding 1t. a
heavy cannonading and skirmishing Immediately
commenced The Rebel force within tie fort
was supposed TO number 1900. They were
cut off from all possibility Of ro-enforcenents.
Gems. Pillow, Floyd, Johnston, and BuckneI
we're said to be with them-grca. booty for vi
TO capture, If this be so. Early in the day
only one gunboat was in the fight, but neal
noon all of them came into play. The Caron
delet received l0-inch ball through her hull
which wounded some men, but did no materia
harm TO the vessel.
During the Days fight, which was suspended
at nightiall, our troops We'd with each other il
displays Of valor. They charged up to with
less than hundred yards Of tie walls, nnC
that, too, in face of heavy fire. The 25tl
Indiana Regiment is spoken Of with particular
commentator. The losses are not stated with
any accuracy Of detail. but the regiment just
named had forty wounded the 9TH Illinois and
9TH Iowa also suffered some Losses, being vel

certain. The fort would be stOrmed after In,

OF course the intelligence from this battle j,

MunfordyiIe. on the 7tb 9Th, and Oh inst,
and wa, at latest ndyces on its march to
Glasgow. Metcalf County, over the turDp ke
from Bardstown to that point Gen. MITCHELL
division, l2,0C0 strong, marched from Bacon
Creek to Munfordville, crossed over the bridge
on the morning of the 10th, and advanced over
the turnpike in the direction Of Bowling
Green. Gen. McCOOks DIVISION 10000 strong,
eucamped about Munfordyille, had also march
ing orders or the 18th, and has probably FOL
lowed MitcbeI's before this. Tho greater por-
ton of Gen. Buell's army is concentrating upon
n line Of operations only forty miles in width.
In conjunction with Gen. Grants forces on the
Tennessee and Cumberland, the advance of
Buell's divisions upon Glasgow secures the
nankiog Of the Rebels on both the right and left.
Gen. Buell. feels confident that in less than
three weeks the last Rebel will be driven out
of Kentucky. On Tuesday last Information
reached him that the center OF the Secession
army is preparing to e7acuate Bowling Green
and fall back on Clarksyille. This was
expected by Gen. Buell., "a the Dispersion o'
ZoiccGer's army, and tho planting OF Gen.
Grants division on the banks OF the Tennessee
and Cumberland, had rendered this position
untenable 1t is presumed at headquarters IN
Louisville that the Rebel forces will DO dis
tributed so as to defend tho two railroads from
Southern Kentucky 10 Nashville. All the
newly organized regiments in the Western
States have been ordered TO Kentucky, and
40. 900 additional troops will be in that State
in less than ten days. Eight OH" regiments
left Cincinnati since the 7th instant, bound as
stated. The re-enforcemeuts viii mostly be
used TO strengthen Gen. Grant aud for oPer,
atoms against Columbus. Documents captured
at Fort Henry revealed tho fact that Gen.
Polk really has but about 1900 effective men'
and these demorazed aud FESTIVE. Alto
gether, we may expect succession OF stirring
news from Kentucky during the next three
weeks

For months, good people have been clamor-
Gus for an exchange of prisoners, whereby
Cols. Corcoran, Wilcox, aud other noble
patriots, should be restored to freedom. The
object was most worthy, but il has seemed to
US that the order of business contemplated was
mistakc that in order TO effect satisfactory
exchange OF prisoners, we must first take some.
Within the last few days, we have been taking
hold of this matter in the night way, so thai
we are now ready to talk OF exchanges. To-day
we have twice as many prisoners as the Rebels
have including at least two Generals, Com
