+, CHICAGO, Sept. n, 1880 P. Mt is prob
BILE that the glorious news mentioned in
Saturdays dispatches as having been re-
ceived by the Government from the army
of the Cumberland, is founded upon an
other of those great strategic movements
that have characterized the whole of Rose
GRAMS Tennessee campaign. With the re-
Inducements that have reached him Rose
Grams has been enabled to out maneuver
Bragg, exposing the front of the latter and
compelling him to retire. The tenor of the
dispatches from that direction are quite
cheering, and bear indications of important
movements, the details of which are not
permitted to be made public at this juno
ture. The battle of the Chickamango
proves to have been in reality Union vic
tory. If in order to crush Rosecrans 1t is
necessary to temporarily draw so largely
upon Lee. Beareguard and others, and the
result was drawn battle, the importance
of a temporary Strengthening of Bragg be-
comes a permanent necessity. IT the tower
of the whole Southern force cannot more
than compel Rosecrans for the time being,
to assume the defensive, what must De
the result when Rosecrans is heavily re-
nforced by Grant and Burnsides and re-
sumes the offensive, and the Federal forces
elsewhere attack those points, now weak
ened to sustain Braggs campaign.
The movement of troops into East len
nessee, now being made, indicates that
most gigantic effort is being made to pene-
trate the heart of the Southern Confedera-
cy, and it is possible that old Rosey will
vet be the man who takes Richmond.
1t is asserted that Hooker is assigned to
q command in Georgia. Gen. SchOfield
will 90 by the board and it is believed that
Gen. Butler will succeed him. General
Blunt will probably be given separate
Department in Kansas and the country
south of that.
Col. Polk, late Senator from Missouri,
was captured near Bolivar by the marine
brigade on the 18TH inst, and is now held
as a prisoner of war by Gen. Buford at
Helena.
The colored troops at Helena are used
for guarding Quarter Master and Commits
sary stores. They are noted for good and
orderly conduct.
No further Vichsburg news. Reports
are that Gen. Grant is in serious condi-
tiou, having lost the use of one leg and
been compelled to is3ue his orders from his
bed. He is smoking as usual.
Gen. Dennis is still here.
Capt. G. NJ. Tallmade of the 18th Iowa,
Provost Marshal of this place, has been re-
ieved, and Capt. Robert Wheatley of the
50th Illinois, has been appointed to succeed
him, by order of Gen. Buford. 40.
VICKsBURG, Sept. 10, via CAIRO, Sept.
2S.-Adjutant-G General Thomas has return
ed from New Orleans and arrived at
NatcheZ. He testities to the progress the
colored troops are making. His whole en-
ergies are exerted in behalf of the success
of the enterprise. At Natchez all thing are
progressing with as much satisfaction as
could be expected. The city is clean,
healthy and well governed. The inhabit-
ants are pleased with arrangements as a
general thing. They are anxious to show
their loyalty. A great quantity of Con-
federate cotton is coming in. The place
has been strongly fortified and will forever
remain in the shadow of the Stars and
Stripes. Persons daily from the Confeder-
acy say that Mobile is well fortified
Ali the treasure has been removed.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29-S p. M.-The Evening
Journal has special despatch this eve
ming, from Washington, stating that the
present Draft will not bring into the field
more than $1,000 men, and that the Gov
eminent will be compelled to order another
expected to raise their quotas by vol
unteering. Iowa, however, will escape
both the draft and the necessity of volun-
teering, as she has furnished, according to
Adj't Gen'l Bakers estimate, an excess, up
to the 1st of last June, of over thirteen thou
sand men, oyer. all calls for volunteers.
The quota of the State under the Draft,
would be about $4,000, still leaving few
hundred in excees-if so, to this will be
added the troops in Camps Roberts and
Mcclellan, at Davenport, and other parts
Of the State, which have not yet been &C.
credited, there will be an excess Of about
5000 over all calls for volunteers and the
first draft.
These figures will doubtless be crafty
ing to the timorous as we'll as all persons
in any degree imbued with patriotic OF
State pride. Iowa will thus pay no com.
mutation tax. Over $5,OOO,6OO have al.
ready been received by the General Gov.
eminent from this source.
Measures are on foot to organize another
Iowa Cavalry regiment, which will mum.
Der as the Tenth. 1t is intended to have
the regiment ready for active service by
January LIST. There are quite number o.
candidates for the Colonelcy, but no ap.
pointment has yet been made. w,
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-Gold has been on the
Rampage here to-day. There is no regular
market. Buyers rates are nominally In
@142. Brokers pay 1881 for silver.
1t is probable that the proposed new Ma
tional Bank, at Ottumwa, if they perfec
their organization by the lst of November
can be furnished with the new Nationa
Bank Notes.
The advance in gold this morning, pro
duced considerable excitement in the
Breadstuffs markets, and prices ruled high
er on all descriptions. Wheat was in active
demand, closing hrm at $l,O74 tor NO. L.
The demand for corn is light, and is selling
at 1904. Oats in good request at $50 53c
High Wines were in active demand at SOC
Provisions dull.
A private letter received here to-day
dated Culpepper c. H., Va, Sept. Oath
says: The baggage trains have been sem
to the rear, and we expect to move forward
to attack the enemy, who is strongly forti-
fed on the south side of the Rapidan.
An evening paper has the following:
DECATUR, H., Sept. 29.-From one just
from below who is well posted, I am re.
Iably Informed that Sherman's army
corps has not gone to reinforce Rosecrans.
(Signed) JACK.
It is not generally believed.
The rise in gold is generally attributed
here more to spectators influence in Wal
street than to any unfavorable military
news.
