Extra Session of The Massachusetts, Lcgisl-
fa{urc.


BosroN, Nov. Ii.
An extra session of the Massachusetts Leg
islaturc assembled at noon to-day.
Gov. Andrew, in a message, reviews the
Legislative acts regarding bounties for re-
cruits, and says: SIT has been represented to
me by officers engaged in the recruiting SER
vice, as well as many citizens and magistrates,
that these bountes do not offer sufficient pc
cuniary inducements to enable the required
number to be raised within the two months
which scarcely remain TO Us.
AT the request of several Municipal Gov
ernncnts and of divers patriotic and public
spirited people of the Commonwealth, have
therefore called together the General Court
for the single and special purpose OF devising
means to secure the contingent of volunteers
assigned to Massachusetts, and TO take such
action in the premises us in their wisdom may
be found expedient."
In relation to volunteering Gov. Andrew
says: Il am prepared, therefore, to assist in
committing the Commonwealth to policy OF
the payment of regular wages to the Massa-
chusetts volunteers, in addition to all other
pay, allowances, bountes and advantages hitll-
erto enjoyed
The employment OF colorel soldiers is
strongly advocated in the address, and the
bravery OF the 54th Massachusetts, regiment
in making the assault on Fort Wagner is elo-
quently referred to in proof OF their fitness for
infantry service.
The Governors address was referred to a
special Legislative Committee, which met I'M
mediately after the House adjourned, and a
bill was introduced proposing to give all sol
diers hereafter enlisted or re-enlisted $40 per
month from the State Treasury, instead of the
bounties now offered. Action upon this prop
osition was deferred till tomorrow

plelc.
A Union scout Just from Richmond and the
forts South reports that Lee is actually in
command of Braggs army and that Bragg.

He says it was decided few days since. at Il
rebel Cabinet meeting. to abandon Virginia at
the first intimation OF the intention of Meade
to advance upon Richmond.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says -
Our correspondent writes from the front to-
day that there has been fresh disposition OF
our forces for strategical purposes. Our
forces do not occupy Fredericksburg, Gen.
Kilpatrick's cavalry only having visited there
on the day of our advance. If the rebels
maintaiIf their position between Culpeppcr
and the Rapidan, it is quite probable that a
battle may yet be fought. This is Lees chos-
en- ground, according to his official report of
our advance few weeks since when Meade
fell back"
The Tribunc's headquarters army of Poto.
mac dispatch, of the 9th, says:-A portion of
the enemy's infantry, with artillery, was en-
countered last night about sunset near Gull

aud wounded; but small portion were killed.
The disposition of our forces has been care
fully made with reference TO the possibility of
any attack on our TANKS or rear.

account Of singular story about two suspic-

about Sandusky Bay, supposed to be prva-

aided BIZ their sympathizers there and in the

and commence piracy on the lakes and pillage

ordered forthwith TO the island. 1t may be
scare. There is, however, more plausibility in
such an enterprise than in the alleged conspir-

Chattanooga letter to the Tribune says
The work of removing families that cannot

go to Nashville, from thence they find their
way to various parts OF the North. There are
left here certain number of residents whose
unionsm is altogether fishy. They too have
received notice to leave. Some of them plead
for mercy, that mercy which when Bragg oc-
cupied the place, they would not show to the
Union men, whose hardships have made East
Tennessee the bloody ground of the war
Their appeal will scarcely be effective. They

Tennessee had been attacked, and half of the
garrison and battery had been captured.
The dispatch did not state the probable num-

The Republican of this afternoon saws Gen.
Burnside telegraphs that the disaster referred
to occurred at Rodgersville, in Hawkins coun-
ty, Tenn. This place is the termination of
the branch railroad OF East Tennessee,
and is fifteen miles from Knoxville. Gen.
Burnside says the rebels captured 600 men
and cannon. He does not mention the num-
Der OF killed and wounded. His main army is
where it was when the attack was made on
Rodgersville, in an impregnable position and
in good spirits, subject TO the orders of Gen.
Grant, who is perfectly well satisfied with its
situation.

ton has been made or communicated
Adlt. Gen. Thomas in communication to
the War Department, dated Natchez, says: 1t
is significant fact that while transports on the
river have been fired into by the rebels, not a
single shot has been fired from that part of the
river banks covered by leased plantations, ex-
tending for seventy-iive miles above vicks-
burg, which shows the Importance to COM
merce OF lining the river with loyal popula-
ton. He says that on the 18th of October the
gathering of cotton was in full operation.
This experiment, adopted hastily and from
necessity with many msgivings, of employing
freedmen at wages on leased plantations, he
now regards as complete success.
