Burnside's Change of Base.

"A week of delay, inscparable from a
change in the command of great
army, has developed some new features
of the military plan, and it is now an
nounced that General Burnside is
changing his base. The new base is to
be Fredericksburg, on the Rappahan-
mock, which is in easy communication
also with Acquia Greek, on the Poto-
mac.
This position is one that will enable
the Government to supply the army
mOre easily than it could when it was
further inland. General Burnside is
now where General Mcdowell was six
or eight months ago, with the Potomac
and Rappahannock open, by which he
may be abundanlly supplied. We trust
that he may be supported by the whole
power of the Government and the peo-
pie, and that now having got good
base, he may be able to push OH tri-
nmphantly until he is able to change his
base once more and establish himself in
Richmond.

Col. Forney ON the Next Congress.

In bis letter to the Philadelphia
Press, Col. Forney gives the following
estimation of the complexion of the
next Congress:
A somewhat careful review of the
Congressional elections confirms me in
my original opinion that the admins
tration will have the next House of
Representatives by a clear working
majority, giving to the opposition a
number of votes from the border States
that will never be east with them.
As things stand the opposition have
elected say seveHty-one, and the Re
publicans and Union Democrats nearly
ninety, with Kentucky, Tennessee, part
of Virginia, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
California and New Hampshire to vote
Allowing that they get twenty ont of
all these States-a calculation based
upon the idea that the Unconditional
Union men will not carry a man in
either Kentucky, Maryland or Tennes-
see. which is calculation that will
never be realized-and the required six
or eight we shall easily carry in the
coming elections, put us decidedly in
possession of the popular branch of
Congress. We ought, however. to get
at least two emancipationists IN Mary
land, two in Western Virginia, two in
Kentucky. aud one in Tennessee and
if our friends are not divided, we shall
carry three in California, three or four
in Connecticut, and two in New Hamp
shire. The administration will thus
have fine margin left.

the guard house by the military, where
he was detained until the reply was
made. In the meantime his commu-
nication was conveyed to Gen. Long
street, whose troops are encamped q
short distance outside the city. As the
demand was made upon the civil au-
thorities, the Mayor sent an answer
which was evidently written at the did,
tation of Gen. Longstreet, to the effect
that the complaints enumerated should
be remedied SO far as firing on our pick
cts and furnishing supplies and materi-
al to the Confederate army was con-
cerned, also, that the rebels would dis
pute the occupying of the city by the
Government forces. He complained
of the short space of time allowed for
the moving of the women and children
and sick soldiers.
The giving of more time as requested
is now under consideration.
Permission has been given the citi.
zens to run one train from the city, but
only for the conveying of women and
children.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 23d.
The Herald's dispatch SAYS: "In
Falmouth great alarm was felt, espec.
tally by the females, many of whom
left the place and have gone back into
the country for safety. Fredericks
burg appears entirely deserted, and
last night not light was visible in the
whole city. Camp fires indicated the
occupation of considerable force IN ouI
front. The rebels have evidently re
ceived large accessions to their forces
in our front, and there is no doubt that
Lee and Longstreet are in our 1mmedi
ate vicinity. After the rebels have
been driven from their present position
il is thought they will give battle along
the Massaponax, s miles beyond the
city. There is no doubt but the rebel.
have availed themselves of the time al
lowed for the removal of the non-com
batants to carry off everything tina
could possibly be of service to them O
us. On Friday night loud explosions
were heard beyond Fredericksburg
but the cause has not yet been ascer
tanned.

Battle Of Corinth.
Rosecrd,as' Official Report.

AsO00SS NSeo SsO0SsNS AecOOTt.
In his official report to the War De.
partment, Gen. Rosecrans thus briefly
sums up the result of the battle Of
Corinth:
We fought the combined Rebel force
of Mississippi, commanded by Van
Dorm, Price, Lowell, Villipigue and
Rust in person, numbering according to
their own authority, $4,000 men.
We signally defeated them, with lit
tie more than half their numbers, and
they fed, leaving their dead and
wounded on the field.
The enemy's loss in killed was ], 423
officers and men; their loss in wounded,
taking the general average, amounts to
$500. We took 2,24S prisoners, among
whom are 1877 field officers, Captains
and subaIterns, representing SO regi-
ments of infantry. l6 regiments of cav
airy, Is batteries of artillery, and I bat
talions, making 81 regiments, battal-
ions and l3 batteries, beside separate
companies.
We took also fourteen stands of col.
ors, two pieces of artillery, $500 stand
of arms, $500 rounds of ammunition
and large lot Of accoutrements. The
enemy blew up several wagons between
Corinth and Chewalla, and beyond
Chewalla many ammunition wagons
and carriages were destroyed, and the
grond was strewn with tents, officers
mess chests, and small arms. We pur
sued them forty miles III force and sixty
miles with cavalry.
| Onr loss was onlp 3l3 killed, 1915
wounded, and 232 prisoners and miss
ing.
1t is said that the enemy were so de
moralized and alarmed at our advance
that they set fire to the stores at Tup
clio, but ending we were not close upon
them exlinguished the fire and removed
the public stores, except two carloads
of bacon, which they destroyed.
To signalize in this report all those
:, officers and men whose action in the
battle deserves mention, would neces
sarily lengthen this report. l must
therefore, refer to the sub-reports an(

PROCLAMATION.
THE DRAFT TO TAKE PEACE Pos1TIvEL,

THE DRAFT TO TAKE PEACE POSITIVELY
DECEMBER BOTH.
To tile People Of tile State Of Michigan:
1t is essential to the maintenance Of
the honor of the State by meeting its
obligations to the Federal Government
that the quota of the troops required
of Michigan under the call for 100000
men, should be speedily furnished. l
have felt great confidence that this
might be done without resort to draft,
but it will be impossible at the rate en-
listment have been making for the last
month and more. The number required
of each town and ward in the State
has been assigned upon the principle
of giving credit for all recruits fur
nished since the first of July last. Sub
stantial justice in this respect has been
done toward all. To be exact was i'm.
possible. and to go back of the first of
July was impracticable, both because
the order of the Secretary of War
did not authorize it; and because there
was no reliable record by which such
credit could be made up with any
chance of fairness.
1: is, therefore, indispensable that
the several town, and wards of cities,
shonld furnish the number of recruits
assigned to them, and l take this oc-
casion to assure the people that unless
the men are furnished by voluntary en-
listment they will be taken by the
draft.
For the purpose of still giving abun
dant opportunity to fill the quota of the
State by voluntary enlistment, recruit
ing will be continued as follows:
LIST. Recruits will be received for new
regiments now forming in the State
and for all the old regiments now in
the field, until, and including, the goth
day of December next. These mus
he enlisted for the term of three years
or during the war.
2nd. From the lst to the 10th DAYS
of December next, volunteer recruits
will be received for old regiments only
to SERGE for nine months, in pursuance
of the Act of Congress. ~
Sd. On the 3Oth of December next
the draft will commence, and proceed
until the requisite number is obtained
in all those towns and wards which
shall then be found delinquent.
Less than four thousand men ar,
now required to fill the entire quota O
the State, and earnestly hope that
they will be found to come forward
cheerfully and enlist for the acar as all
our troops thus far have done. And |
desire this not SO much because there
is anything discreditable in a draft, az
because it is exceedingly desirable that
all the troops from Michigan should
stand on the same footing in the army.
Let the people of Michigan make one
more loyal and vigorous effort and the
entire number required can be obtained
and the high reputation of the State
for patriotism and promptness will be
maintained. AUSTIN BLAIR.
