By the above table it will be seen that if the
second ward can secure ten more volunteers,
whatever the other parts of the city may do,
it will be saved from the necessity of furnish
ing its deficiency of thi,ty-eight men. Three
more men will save the third ward from a
draft for seventeen, fifteen the sixth, and so
on. l earnestly invite every citizen to de-
vote the few remaining days before tile Sixth
of January to the work of filling the quota
No private interests, no other duty can be so
important. There is still time enough if
we will work. l appeal to our bust
ness men to do as they did on a previous
occasion, less important than this,-suspend
their business tor few hours each day, on
and after the LIST instant, aud devote that time
to the promotion of the highest interests OF
the city, and to the cause of the country.
Let working committees in the various wards
be organized to canvass the district and se-
cure volunteers. This city already leads our
sister cities in what it has accomplished. Six
days yet remain. Let that,time be rightly i'm
proved and the full quota can and will be Sc
cured. ID. WALDO LINCOLN.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-In his annual re-
port secretary Chase asked congress to re-
peal the provision directing him to make
loans for from ten to forty years, and empow-
er him instead to negotiate loans, on whatev-
er terms he may in his discretion deem best
for the public interest. This authority will
undoubtedly be given, end the secretary will
have power to issue $500, 100000 more of the
popular tive-twenty loan. If subscriptions to
this loan should continue to come in faster
than needed by the department, it is under
stood that permission will be given to agents
to receive subscriptions payable in install
menIs, as the amount shall be required, five
per cent. only to be deposited as guaranty,
thus saving the government large amount of
interest.

CHATTANOOGA, Dec. % Mag. Gen. H.
W. Haiteck, General'ia Chief;~-Col. Long,
OF the 4th Ohio cavalry, commanding the I'd
division of cavalry, reports, from Calhoun,
Tenn, Dec %, that the rebel Gen. Wheeler,
with 1900 or 1900 cavalry and mounted infan-
try, attacked Colonel Liebert, and captured u
supply train from Chattanooga for Knoxville,
about 10 this morning, at Charleston, on the
south bank of the HawaSee. The train escort
had reached the oncampment at Charleston,
last night, and Col. Liebert's Skirmishers were
wholly engaged with the enemy this morning,
before Colonel Long was apprsed of their APP
proach. He Immediately moved the small
force for duty in his camp at the time-l50
men-and crossed to Col Liebert's support.
The rebels shortly afterwards gave way, Col
Long pursuing them closely. Discovering
portion of their force cut off on the right, he
charged them with sabrcs, completely demol-
ishing and scattering them in great confusion
and in every direction. Several of the enemy
(number not known were xii ed and wound
cd, and l2l pris Oners were captured, includ-
ing five commissioned officers. The main
rebel column fed and was pursued for five
miles on the Dalton road, and when last seen
was fleeing precipitately. Colonel Longs loss
was one man slightly wounded. The officer
in command of the courier station at Cleveland
also reports that he was attacked early this
morning, Dec. IS, by a force of 100 rebels.
He drove them off, however.

WHAT THE BOYS SAW AND HEARD.
CUMBERLAND, Md, Dec. 30.-Gen. Kelley
has received information from Gen. Sullivan,
the latter getting it from nine deserters just
from the Shenandoah valley, that the rebel
Gen. Early, with 5000 men, is between New
Orleans and Mount jackson. Gen. Rosser
also has 700 rebel troops, and Gen. Imboden
1900 men. There is very great dissatisfaction
among the rebels, and the deserters heard
of the presidents proclamation, &C., with
surprise and fastened to come in. They de-
clare if the proclamation could be distributed
freely among rebel troops, thousands would
soon enter our lines. They say the procla-
nation is kept altogether from the men, al
though the officers know it. Gen. Kelley is
anxious that Gen. Early should extend his
march to Harper's Ferry or Martinsburg, as
he has made preparations to give him a suita-
bic reception.

The Mexican 0ne.tion.

New YORK, Dec. 3O..The Paris CORES
pendent OF the Times says the archduke
Macmillan considered the recognition of the
new Mexican monarchy by the United States
government Indispensable to his acceptance
of the throne. The proposal was formally
made by the French government to President
Lincoln's cabinet. A dispatch from Wash
ineton, in reply, was to the effect that the
American republic would never tolerate,
much less recognize, Il monarchy established
at their very doors. 1t is supposed this will
decide the archduke to abandon the idea of
accepting the throne of Mexico.
