TON AND HURLIEo THE OFFICERS or THE
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION FROM THEfT 20.
siTIoE lie thought il would nottske
much force to do IL.
Merrick's friends, including those from
Chicago, are, understand, all fer 'evo-
luton, and, in the Committee, supported
the most ultra Of the two propositions.
First. To demand of the President
Of the United States on armistice,' and
the sending Of Commissioners to eath Of
the revolted States, asking them to meet
in National Convention.
Second. That the troops were calist-
ed on a " fraudulent pretense"--anI not
to restore the Union, but to free the
slayos-und thst consequently the Gov
crnor Of the State be directed to order all
of the Illinois troops home.
The Committee has not yet desidcd
which resolution they will present 10 the
meeting. But this makes no mattg, rs
they are all in the same boat. The cnly
difference Is that the radicals have the
pluck TO say what they mean, while the
conservatives dare not say or do what
they think or believe.
| again assert that the Proclamation is
mere pretense. Last year the same
course was sought to be initiated by the
seceesionists in the Constitutional Con-
yention, aud would have been but for the
fact that they dared not at that time show
THAR hands. They thought the time had
not come to do 81 with safety to them

EDS. TRIBUNE:
Perhaps it will interest your readers to
hear what part the Chosseurs took in the
late engagement at Fredericksburg.
On Thursday afternoon at four o'clock
we crossed the river, under cover of our
guns. The cd Rhode Island and 36th
N. Y, preceded us, and took the advance
through the night. The Chasseurs were
left to guard the bridges. On Friday
morning we advanced about a quarter Of
mile, but were kept in reserve. On Sat-
urdSy, Gen. Birney falling to 20 to the
support of the Generals reserves, Gen.
Morton's division was ordered to the left
for that purpose. We were under a
heavy fire Of she'll and grape for nine
hours, before we were relieved; and,
strange to say, not one man in the regi-
ment was injured, although one man had
the heel Of his boot knocked off by n
piece Of she'll; another had his havre-
sack torn to pieces by the same she'll
The LIST Long Island were Immediately in
uur rear and their loss was pretty heavy,
so you see that fortune favors the braye.'
On Saturday we were relieved, at 8 p.
NJ, and returned to our position in line.
On Monday morning we were ordered to
the front for picket duty, and were under
tho impression that we would be relieved
at night, but no relief coming at 0 o'clock
we made up our minds to stay the bal
anco of the night on duty.
At about 2 o'clock, We received orders
10 draw in our pickets and fall back
Tho reserve had started and the "vidct-
ties" were sent after them as fast as they
came in.
Our company (K) was left to bring up
the rear. We were dePloyed as skirm-
ishcrs, of course, and under the skillful
management of Capt. Higinbothum, the
rear was brought up without exciting the
least suspicion.
When we reached the river, we found
that the army had crossed and not until
then did we know that the troops were
recrossing the river.
Capt, II. has boen complimented very
highly by the Colonel, for the skill and
GOODNESS he displayed in bringing up the
rear.
Colonel Thaler has also been highly
complimentcd by the General command
ing the division.
/ will send you IAN extract of letter,
in the New York Herald, that will show
how highly Col. Thalcr and his "chas-
seurs" have been complimentod,
The health of the company is good.-
We are we'll fed and well clothed, and al
ways ready when duty calls.

FROM THE lOIst.
NEAR MuRrREKspoRo, Jan. 4.

NEAR MURFREEspoRo, Jan. 4.
DEAR FRIENDS:
Another great battle has been fought.
For eight long days has hostilities been
kept up, and now that the roar of cannon
has ceased, and the clatter of small arms
silenced, we feel relieved and breathe
frecr. We have imagined the noise and
confusion of battle, but our Imagination
failed to come up with the realities of the
past week.
4 The day aitor Christmas, we started out
from camp-the second day out we re-
pulsed the rebels at Nolinsvillc, after n
ten hours fight. The force continued on
its way toward Murfreesboro, after rest
ing over Sunday, abeut six miles frem
Nolinsville. A days march brought our
men within six miles Of Murireesboro.-
The next day the fighting commenced,
and the second day no harder e shting was
ever done on this continent, than was
done on that day. Our ammunition train
was on the right flank. which, through the
negligence of Gen. Johnson, was COM
pletely turned, and before we could get
our train out of the road, the enemy's
cavalry charged on our cavalry, drove
them off and captured the rear of our
train, and your humble servant among
the crew.
You can imagine our "feelinks" as we
were wheeled OF as portable property
turned over and in possession of the
Southern contedsracy, The charge,
made by their cavalry, was terrible, go
While watching the advancing fire ofthe
enemy, the seeesh cavalry bore in sight,
the stars and bars iuttering in the wind.
On they came, firing, cursing and yelling
like a set of fiends let loose from pande-
monium. Our cavalry were falling on
every side, until at length coming up
with tho rear Of our train, with their cnck-
ed revolvers pointed in the drivers faces,
ordered our teams TO about face, but be-
fore we had proceeded over a quarter of
a mile, our cavalry had rallied and were
charging down on the rebels, and il now
came their turn to run, and il was as in
teres,ing to us. as any sight we ever saw
they looked like criminals flying from
the wrath to come, with lightning speed.

In another column our readers will find
q full account Of the gallant 40th Ohio
Regiment, and their brave and daring
Colonel, Wn. II. GiBsoN. The regiment
was raised in this section of country, and
contained four companies from Seneca
county. II participated in the battles Of
Stone River and Murfrcesbore, and was
in tho hottest part Of the conflict. The
loss they sustained was severe. They
fought desperately, behaved admirably
and acquitted themselves with honor and
credit to their country. Their daring
Colonel was at tho head Of his regiment
and where the battle was raging with the
greatest fury, for five successive days.
He gallantly faced the enemy, and dorea.
ted them in every instance, wherever
they made their appearance. Colonel
GBsoN has proved to his friends In scue-
ca county, and his country, that he is an
efficient commander and brave officer.
llo made some very narrow escape from
being taken n prisoner and boing killed
but ~ good luck generally fOyors the
the brave, tho Colonel came out of the
conflict without receiving u scratch. He
had two horses shot from under him, and
ut ono timo when the battle was most ter

slaughtered and falling around him, he
was nearly surrounded by rebels, aud so
close were they TO him, that a rebel Off

The Presidents Message.

A private letter received at Washing.
ton from Paris, dated December llth, re-
marks that the impression among the
French is that the policy Of Dronyn De
L'Huys can not last, and change of
ministry is not unlikely before February.
Thut at the last council at the Tuleries,
the Presidents Meosago was pronounced
wise and all tho South could ask. Upon
the same authority, the letter states, that
the Emperor had abandoned his penchant
for the rebel confederacy. Another good
sign is that the Monitcur has been
thrown on The defensive by the universal
disspprobotion which the proposal for an
armistice encountered. Que article even
stated the Government had never ex-
pccted the blockade was TO be suspended
during the armistice. The Presidents
Message produced an excellent effect,
and has not been successfully assailed
in any quarter; while his enrnestuess,
moderation and forbearanco have capti-
vated all who looked at it fairly.

states that the Bulletin Of This A. NJ. has

TO the effect that Con. Sherman had with
drawn his forcts from the field Of the late

expedition was coming up the river with
Com. Farragut's feet. II had been
previously stated that Gen. McClornand
had gone south, intending 10 take COM

true that an attack was made a. stated,
and there has been somo hard fighting,
but the engagement was not general. On
the center column. Blair and Morgan L.
Smith carried the works commanding the
hights, but were compelled 10 retire, not
icing supported by the right or left. The
loss on our s'do will not amount to moro
than 1900 killed and wounded. All bear
testimony that General Frank Blair, al
ter Gen. Smith b9d been wounded, man
aged the division well. His horse was
shot under him, aud when the 4th Iowa
and 18th lllinois made their charge on
the cnciry's works, In went himself and

The Pennn. senate.

Wo nsticc that there is quite an excite
ment sprung up in the Senate OF Penn
sylyania, between the two parties. A
resolution was presented in the Senate
on the 18th by Mr.. Lowry, stating that
in consequence of numerous innammato-
ry articles having lately appeared, and
that danger of violence was to be nppre.
hended in the election of u United States
Senator, the Senate adjourned for three
days. Should The resolution pass, an
election, il is said, cannot take place, and
the position remains vacant for one year.
The dispatch states thet the city Of Har-
risburg is filled with thousands of stran-
gers, and great excitement prevails.
