THE EAST TENNESSEE EXPEDITION.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 9.
To Major General b. ". Haileek. General-in-
Chief Washington: have Just received a dis
patch from Gen. Granger that the Cavalry force
OF about 1000 men which he sent to East Tennes-
see on the 2lst ult., under command Of Gen. H
Carter, to destroy the East Tennessee railroad
bridges, &c., has been heard from. Gen. Grang-
er has Just received a dispatch from Gen. Carter
at Manchester, Kentucky, stating that on the
30th, he entirely destroyed the Union and Wau-
tugs bridges with ten miles Of railroad. $50
rebels were killed, wounded and taken prison.
ers, 200 stand Of arms and a large amount Of
-four, salt and other rebel stores, and also loco
motive and two cars were destroyed.
brisk skiTmish took place at the Wautuga
bridge and another OF JOnesyille. We lost but
10 men. The expedition, as characterized by
General Granger, has been one Of the most haz-
ardous and daring Ofthe war, and was attended
with great hardships and privatiOns, owing to
the almost impracticable nature Of the country,
the length Of the route, nearly two hundred
miles each way, and the inclement season. The
important results of this expedition can hardly
be Overrated, severing, as it has, the main rebel
army communication between Virginia and the
southwest. General Carter and his officers and
men deserve the thanks Of the country, Great
credit IL 80 due to Major General Granger, un-

STEAM FIRE ENGINES FoR THE Cry
Within six weeks from this time there will
be four steam FIRE engines equipped and in
the service of the City. We have one in
commission now. Within three weeks two
others will arrive from the Seneca Fails,
New York, Mandatory. Last Tuesday
evening, the City Council, at their regular
meeting, authorized the Fire and Water Com
mittee to purchase the fourth steamer of the
above mandatory, for the West Side. It
will be here within six weeks. Steamer No.
is kept at No. As engine house, on Frank
fort street No. viii be kept at No. SIS
house, on Champlain street, and No at No.
SIS house on Huntington street. Barns are
being built in the rear Of each of the above
houses, in which to keep the horses. No To-
cation is decided upon as yet for steamer No.
4. The latter steamer will cost something
more than those previously purchased, the
price being increased on account Of the in
creased price Of material, taxes, SO. The
manufacturers have to pay a Government
tax Of S1O0 on each machine The rubber
hose q 900 feet that has been ordered of the
Boston Betting Company, isexpected to-day.
It's cost is sl,25O.
Mr.. James Dickson, foreman Of engine No.
5, has been appointed engineer Of steamer
No. 2. The fremen and drivers will be cho-
sen from the above company. Some good
horses, suitable for the work, arc desired i'm
msdiateIy by the city, in order to get the
new steamers in operation.
Steamer No. has been tested at two or
three fires, and satisfies expectations with
regard to it. Mr.. Edward Lindsley is the
Engineer. The horses are barnessed con-
stantly, and from o'clock until II O'Clock
every evening, they are hitched to the ma
chine, ready to fly to the scene Of the FIRE
whenever the alarm is given. Every thing
is ready to start a IRE beneath the boiler, and
but few minutes are required to get up
steam after the match is applied The en-
gineer, fireman and two drivers, sleep in the
engine house every night: They take their
turns watching, the watches being three
hours in length. During the day time there
are three men with the machine constantly
eniy one man can be absent at once. When
the four machines are equipped and put in
service, We shall be pretty thoroughly pre-
pared for fires.
Some may lock with jealous eyes upon the
Steam fire engine, and consider it an inno-
TatiOn upon the rights Of the cherished
"murshine," but it is just such an innOva-
tion a. the locomotive was over the old fash
toned stage coach, the telegraph over the
post boy. It belongs to the progressive age

adopted it, and Cleveland would be voted

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LEcTUREs-RALPH
WALDO EMERsoE.-As the next lecture Of
the course is BY this vorld-rsnowned Amsri-
can author, we give below the following from
the Toronto Globe, and as the subject will
probably be the same here on Wednesday
evening, our readers can have q little
fOrstaste of what they may expect from the
talent and genius Of Emerson:
/" The President Of the Soeie ty, Mr.. J. D.
Edgar, occupied the chair, and in introdue-
ing the lecturer said, it was sufficient to
mention the.name Of Ralph Waldo Emerson
to an audience acquainted with modern lit
erature, as they were certain to be familiar
with hin from his works. (Applause.)
Mr.. Emerson on rising was warmly greet
ed. He said his subject was, " Glasses Of
Men," and went on TO remark, that children
divided things into certain classes in the same
way that men did in the merchants Office, or
in the artizan's workshop. Biologists have
names to various strata Of rock, and there
were a class Of men in the world who gave up
their whole tine in searching out old black
books, old pennies, or even foreign postage
stamps. Then there were the lovers Of bota-
nv, geology, music and other sciences. It
was we'll known that they all belonged
TO different classes. An antiquarian was in
toxicated when he got possession Of an old
coin, or q genuine Caxtou, and it was stated
of a French physician, that he was thrown
into raptures when a patient who was ex-
planning the nature Of his diseases, mention
ed the symptoms Of one which the physician
had thonght had been long extinct Every
man he said had his theory, and must ven
tilate it il he got the opportunity. There
was a certain theorist who used to maintain,
on all occasions, that the great panacea for
the calamities of England, was love for mu-
steal concerts. daughter and applause. !

enbore, end oarisyg .~P-~s~atsd- certain
classes Of men. They classified men from the
fact that thew had classified their own minds.
An present had no doubt observed when any
political or religious topic was introduced
into an assembly Of persons, how these per
sons instantly took sides-they became di-
vided into classes-While on the other hand,
masonry, political parties, and other So
eieties drew men closer together. Fish
ers liked the company Of fishers and
hunters the company Of hunters. The lee
turer then went on in eloquent terms to de-
scribe the different characteristics Of the
German, French, Irish, Sazons, Spaniards,
Italians and Scots, and proceeded to speak
at some length of the several tempera
ments, the bilious, sanguine, lymphatic
and nervous. He illustrated the several
classes in pleasing language, and was fire.

beautiful thoughts, and was listened to
with marked attention by an intel
iigent and highly appreciatiye audi
ence. This evening Mr.. Emerson will
lecture in the same place, on =" Talent"

FROM WAsHINGON,


Information from the Army of the Potomac,
shows that our pickets extend from Falmouth
TO King George Court House, about22 miles dis
tsnt.
Contrabands agree in stating that rebel incur
sions are nightly made below the Court House
for long distance, and negroes are carried away
and sent South. The greater portion, however,
Of the slaves in the long neck Of land between
the Rappahannock and the Potomac rivers, have
already made their escape to our lines, bringing
with them their masters teams and other prop
erty.

Carter and his command, are vithout parallel
in the history Of the war, and - eryethe thanks
Of the country. This expedition hls --=sd the
capacity Of our cavalry for bold and as.5hing
movements which donot doubt VII be initiated
by others.

General-in-Chief
A private letter from the blockadng feet of
Mobile, dated December sd, says that many de-
serters to the United States from the rebel forts
and neighbOrhood, state that general hardship
had commenced at Mobile, beef once q week,
and oysters only at other times. They have no
sugar, tea nor coffee.
The pirate Oreto is still in the harbOr. Moth
ing has been entering or leaving the harbor since
Captain Prebie's departure save one sloop with
cotton, which after getting out was captured by
our cruisers, and a cotton laden schooner which,
getting out under cover Of stormy night, found
her heart failing and endeayored to run back
breakers too near the guns Of Fort Morgan for
q squadron to come near. She set herself on
fire, and was utterly consumed.
Everything is dead and dismal in Mobile; the
place having become hardly worth taking.
General Ha leek has dispatched the following
to General ROsecrans:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE Army,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.
To Major General ROsecrans, Commanding
Army Of the Cumberland-Genersl:-R Rebel ac-
counts fully confirm your kilograms from the
battlefield. The victory was well earned, and
is one Of the most brilliant OF the war. You and
your brave army have won the gratitude Of your
country and the admiration Of the world The
field Of Murfreesboro is made historical, and fu-
ture generations will point out where so many
heroes fell glorously in defense OF the COnstitu-
ton and the Union. All honor to the Army Of
the Cumberland. Thanks TO the living tears
