REcRuITING.-From every quarter in
the loyal States We learn that recruiting
under the liberal bounties offered by the
National and State Governments is pro-
crossing in the most satisfactory manner.
The Western States are proving their pat
riotism in the noblest manner. The New
York Herald says that about thousand
men were enlisted last week in that city
and in Brooklyn, and thinks the quota of
the State will certainly be filled by the 9th
OF January. The INDUCEMENTS to enlist are
exit aordinary; for, with the seven hun
dred and seventy-seven dc liars which the
volunteer receives he can buy farm out
West for his family, stock it, and locate
it comfortably. And this with the almost
certainty that he himself will be spared to
enjoy ii; for it is not probable that any of
the men now volunteering will ever see ac-
tive service. The present call once filled
up, the rebels will acknowledge the useless
ness of further resistance. To persevere
longer would be to doom themselves and
their families to hopeless beggary, if not
to extinction.

OPERATIONS IN FRONT OF CHATTA-
NooGA-Very full semi-ofticial dispatches
descriptive Of the operations in front Of
Chattanooga have been received at Wash
ington. They speak in terms of the most
enthusiastic admiration Of the conduct of
the troops, and particularly Of that of the
divisions Of Generals Wood and Sheridan,
now embraced in the command Of General
Hooker. These men, excited by their sue
cess in carrying the riAe-pils on the slope
of Missionary Ridge. which they had been
ordered to take at all hazards, rushed up
the precipice beyond and carried the crest
of the hill, capturing some thirty cannon
and thousands Of prisoners. Neither Grant
nor Thomas believed that the hill could be
carried by direct attack, no orders for
the assault were given, and the officers
were almost literally swept along in the
current of soldiers under their command.
The hill beside being exceedingly steep,
was enfladed by artillery, both to the right
and left. and the men were also exposed
10 heavy fire from the rifle-pi in front.
This was regarded by the Rebels as by far
the strongest part of their lines as indeed
all but impregnable, and Gems. Bragg and
Breckenridge were so confident that they
should be able to hold their ground, that
they stayed almost to the last, and narrow
ly escaped being taken prisoners. Not
outstanding the terrible fire to which the
assaulting columns were exposed the casu-
allies were extremely small. A few hun
dred only are reported. The number of
Rebels taken prisoners is reported at 5000, |
but it will be largely increased by stray
glers, of whom large numbers had been and
were still coming in.

We are happy to announce the reception
OF prospectus of this institution. The
plan OF the Institution is very comprehen

Rev. John Newman, d. D., is an eminen
teacher, for ten years Professor of Latir
and Literature in Union College.
The Vice President, Rev. S. A. Knspp
is also an experienced and distinguished
educator.
The institution is intended to be much If
advance of any in this country for female
education. The location, the grounds, the
buildings, the furniture, the apparatus, anG
in short, everything pertaining to it is o.
the best style.
We notice the German system Of Lee

OF instruction, Textbook and recitation, and
that they have secured the services of such
eminent Professors as Taylor Lewis, LII

Strong. S. t. d., &c.
Sustained by capital and talent beyond
what has ever been enlisted in such an
enterprise in the United States, and with
the liberal and systematic management pro,
posed, the Ripley Female College must
take high rank among the great educa.
tional Institutions of this country.
Considering the advantages afforded the
