CAPTAIN ESTEP. Several new forts
have been constructed by our troops on
Moceasin Ridge, succession of four
spurs that run from Chattanooga Creek
to the Tennessee, on the west side of the
town of Chattanooga, and confronting
Lookout Mountain. These forts are to
be splendidly armed with large Parrot
guns, some of which are already in posi-
ton.
We are glad to learn that the 9Th In
were SO unfortunate as to lose their guns
at the battle of Chicamauga, are to be
assigned to one of these forts. Capt
Estep has had experience, and enjoys a
good reputation as an expert artillerist.
His company are veterans that will not
shrink from any trial The forts con-
structed on the spurs referred to, are
models of engineering skill, and from
their elevation, and the superior charac-
ter of their guns, much is expected in
the way of efecting a dislodgement of
the enemy from his lofty aerie on Look
out Mountain.

MORNING DisPATCHEs.-Our report yes
terday morning was exceedingly frag-
mentary in its character, that which we
received not being of an exciting nature.
1.-The Army Of the Potomac is stuck in
the mud, as everybody supposed it would
be. Six weeks of beautiful weather were
lost while the army was doing nothing,
and it makes its preparations for an ad-
vance just when the rains Deg1n to pour
down and the roads are rendered impas-
sable Strategy, my boy, strategy"
......A dispatch from Cincinnati says the
situation at Knoxville is satisfactory.
There was severe fighting on Saturday
Result unknown. Gen. Rosecrans has
accepted the Presidency of the Cincin-
natl Sanitary Fair Association.
NIGHT REPoRT-From Washington
we learn that the rebels have evacuated
Lookout Mountain, which is occupied
by our troops. This occasions prodi-
gious joy at the capital We could re
joice more extensively over the news
were we assured that the Stars state
ment in regard to Burnside is correct
That General Burnside has been able to
keep open all his Communication we
know is not so, and the ominous silence
in regard to the situation at Knoxville
strikes us unfavorably. Without know
ing anything positively, Braggs retreat
without heavier fighting looks to US as
though he had weakened his army
greatly in order to mass force against
Burnside that could not be successfully
resisted. We hope our fears may prove
groundless.......From Charleston we
have the same old story-something's
going TO be done. The markets wert
greatly unsettled because of the decline
in gold, and prices of all articles became
depressed. This, probably, was owing tt
the news of Grants success.

Communicated,
Something Must be Done!

GulSoIc JOuHndl-
Its a plain case that something is got
to be done. Pigeon township is not
raising its quota of volunteers, and at
the present ticks amt going to. Capt.
Williamson after month of incessant
effort has got only about fifty men, and
not half of that number is from this
township. With all that the other re-
cruiting officers have got, there are at
least one hundred (1OO) more volunteers
to be raised by the first of January, to
avoid the draft And l see you, Mr.. Ed
itor. are of the opinion that Congress is
going to repeal the $500 exemption
clause. / hope that in this instance you
will prove false prophet; but if Congress
should repeal that clause, do you think
we would be able to get substitutes for
any reasonable sum? You see l am
subject to the draft, and it's just impos-
SLIDE for me to 60. 1 can't do it But
if the quota amt raised, and the $500
exemption repealed, and 1 should be
drafted, and couldn't get substitute
WHAT'S to be done7 I know a hun
dred young men exactly in my fix.
They are earning three or four times as
much as they could by enIsting, and of
conrse it can't be expected they will do
it. Now, l think something ought to be
done. We ought to meet together and
see if we can't help in some way to save
ourselves from having to stand the risk
of the draft would rather give $500
than have to go into the army, and if
everybody, who is as afraid of the draft
as am, would give $50 or even S25,
with the help of the rich men, who are
not subject to the draft, but who have
got inst as much right to do something
for their country as those who are, a
fund might be raised to increase the
Government bounty sufficient to induce
plenty of men to volunteer to make up
the quota. There are plenty of people
who could go just as well as not, and
who would go if we were to offer
| them as much inducements as the peoi
pie are offering in other parts of the
country. Why, in Massachusetts, they
are giving every recruit $500 besides the
Government bounty; and even down in
Robinson township, Posey county, where
/ am from, the farmers, and farmers
sons, who, like me, are so fixed thai
they cannot go, have subscribed and
raised money enough to give every vol
unteer, necessary to make up their quota
500 in cash, besides what the Govern
ment pays. And they are going to raist
their quota. Twas down there the Other
day on visit, and know it.
Now | propose, Mr.. Editor, that We
all of us, and especially those of us whc
have got the great interest in it have
referred to, go to work here, and SCI
what we can do Perhaps if we coul(
offer each one of the 100 volunteers nov
needed $50 additional bounty, we coulc
get enough; and as l said before, Their
are plenty of US, who are subject to tn,
draft and cannot go, to do that. Sup
pose we try l will give one $50. VIII
will give another? HOME GUARD.

B We are requested to call the at
tention Of the friends of the soldiers to
the Importance of preparing in full
every description of mail matter sent by
them. you are not certain about the
weight of package it is but little trou-
Bile to ask your Postmaster to test it on
his scales. This will save both time and
money to the soldier, and relieve the
postal officers of a great source of an
noyance. To illustrate: At present,
Nashville, Tenn, is the point where the
mails for General Grants army centre; ;
thence they are taken by military con-
yeyance to the different corps The
postal law forbids Postmasters suffering
any mail upon which postage is due
leaving their custody before that postage
be paid A package or letter for SOL
der at Chattanooga is received at Nash
vile " due 6 cents" 1t is there detain-
ed until notice can be sent to the front,
the soldier found, and the sac cents for
4carded to the Postmaster; and all this
delay is occasioned by some careless
friend at home who negIects to pay the
proper postage.
Papers in the Western and Northwest
ern States are requested to give this a
place In their columns.

steamer Forest City, from Charleston
Bar Thursday noon, has arrived. She
reports a brisk cannonade going on,
which had continued without intermis-

seemed more brisk on Thursday. The
fire was directed against Sumter and

The U. S. steamers Pawnee and
Marblehead went up Stone river on
Thursday. The Marblehead was en-
gagged shelling the woods, it being stated
that the rebels had battery concealed
