GENERAL RosECRANs PURIFYING HIS ARMY
Gen. Rosecrans is applying the severest dis
cipline to incompetent and cowardly officers in
his army. One of his late orders dismisses
from the service several captains and lieuten-
ants for c1wardce, another for drunkenness
on the field, and a third field order reads -
''Ihat Col. VIM. b. Cassidy, 69th Ohio volun-
teers, is, for drunkenness on the morning Of
the 31st ult., at the most critical moment Of
the battle, when his regiment was engaged
with the enemy, thereby rendering him inca
pable Of receiving or giving orders, and i'm
periling the safety OF his entire command,
dishonorably dismissed from the service Of
the United States"

Too FAST A GENERAL.-The operations of
the little army under Gems. Blunt and Her.
ron in western Arkansas, in December last
their marches, their battles, and their stupen-
douS achievements, were the wonder of the
whole country. We supposed that that at
least was an army that would never disappoint
the country. Butjust after these two officers
had given Hndman the most tremendous
whipping at Prairie Groye-after their troops
had marched from Fayetteville across
the Boston Mountains TO Van Buren,,
had captured that place, and, gazing
across the Arkansas river, had caught a
glimpse of the routed rebels flying as fast
as their legs could carry them toward Ar
kansas-atter Blunt and Heron had cap
tured steamboats,, transports, and abundant
supplies, and found plenty of forage-atter
the way was open and clear to Little Rock
and the complete occupation of ARKANSAS
Gen. ScOied, who 4aRhed both Blunt and
Heron, arrived on the field, took command
Of the army, stopped its progress, and planted
1t on the banks of the Arkansas river. 1t
has not been heard of since. Gen. ScOiield
was sick at St. Louis while the irrepressible
Blunt was performing his exploits. We fear
the journey to Van Buren, brotght him down
again. We fear he is sick-as some imagine
the country to be-of West Point. OF that
trouble Blunt was altogether free. Scofield,
however, has succeeded in throwing away the
fruits of the fighters victories. As
the latter performed such wonders while in
command, we do not see why he was not al
lowed to finish his work

DEATH OF AN AUTHoR.-MrS. Katharine
Thomson, better known as ''Grace Wharton"
died at Dover, England, on the 18th ultimo
She was the widow Of DIR. A. Todd Thomson,
an eminent physician. Her first work,
Life OF Wolsey," was written for the Society
for the Diffusion of Useful knowledge Her
first novel, called Constance" was published
anonymously and met with great success.
1t was a very animated picture Of country
life forty years ago, and painted the char
acter OF DIR. Parr, with whom Mrs. Thorn
son was well acquainted. The next two
novels, published with her name, were
less popular, and Mrs. Thomson turned to BIZ
ography. 'The Life Of Raleigh" ''The Ne
moirs of the Court Of Henry the Eighth"
were tOl0wedby memoirs of Sarah, Duchess
of Marlborough" The research and reading
requisite for these works, gave her material
for series OF historical novels-''Ane Be-
leyn," "Raglan Castle" The White Mask"
''Ihe Cheyalier." In addition to these
works she published Olives of the Jocobites, -
and two novels, Piracy, or the Appari-
tlon,' and ''Widows and Widowers." The
death Of DIR. Thomson, in 1919, put stop
Tor time to her literary pursuits. On Mrs.
IhomsOns return to England, after some
years residence abroad she published a novel,
Court Secrets, founded on the well known
story OF KaSpar Hauser, ''FaultS ON both
Sides, and memoirs of Villiers, Duke of
Buckingham" Her later works were written
conJontly with her son, and published under
the MONS de plume of Grace and Philip Whar-
ton, 1.-The Queens of Society" and ''Wits and
BeauX." he Literature of Society,"" only
just given to the world, was Mrs. Thomsons

elements hare not followed. One reason has
been that each award has been terminable Iy
4 few months notice, at the will OF either
party but divisions were made according to
the terms of each, as we understand it, until
the expiration of each. Questions of inter
probation have arisen, and these have prevent
ed final settlement of the books; but, from
this report, we are glad to learn that Mr.. j.
II. Clifford has been agreed upon as their ar
bitter. Now suppose that an award shall be
made for five or ten years, and both parties
! enter into bonds to abide by it; and suppose,
further, that an umpire be agreed upon, or
be appointed by the supreme court, to whom
shall be submitted all questions Of interpreta-
ton, and whose Judgment on them shall be
final, does not common sense teach that the
end Of this controversy will have been reach
ed? and also that substantial justice to both
will be done?
But enough. We rejoice in the prosperity
of the western road, and respect the ability
which controls its affairs. But when its mama
gers enter the state house, their stock selling
Tor 1872 in the market, and ask legislation to
remedy their petty grievances, and that, too in
the face of such a righteous proposition from
the Worcester road as that we have been con-
sidering, it does not comport with our idea of
the duty of a journalist to be silent,

From NGurfreesbOro'.- Another Battle
Imminent.

From the Few Albany Ledger, Jan. 10.
From officers OF Gen. Rosccrans army who
arrived here yesterday, we learn that our adj
vance is some eight miles beyond Murtrees-
boro', where substantial works Of defence are
being erected. The pursuit Of Bragg's army
was not followed up, on account of the Grip
pied condition of the Union troops after the
five or six days hard fighting in front OF Muir
treesboro' and the Stone river.
1t is currently believed by our leading Off
GERS that the rebels have lately been heavily
reinforced from their army at Richmond. De-
serters, of whom many hundreds have lately
come into our lines, state that Gen. Long
street has certainly superseded Bragg, and
that he brought with him from Lees army not
less than 10000 reintorCements. They also
state that Gen. Longstreet has given orders to
place his army i'll the best possible condition,
with view to an early attack on Gen. Rose
Grams position.
The opinion was generally held by the rebel
generals, according to the stories of deserters,
that General RoSecrans had lost one half Of
his army in the late fights; and that it was
impossible for him to receive reinforcements
at an early day, on account Of all his lines Of
communication being destroyed. 1t was
therefore argued by them that with the REIN
torcements they had received from Richmond,
they could easily fall upon and destroy Rose
Grams army, aud then occupy Nashville and
Middle Tennessee with comparative ease.
1t was the general opinion i'll our army that
they would soon be attacked blythe rebels, i'll
which event terrible battle will be fought
The rebels regard their cause in the southwest
as desperate, and believe that the only thing
which will save them will be the defeat of
Rosecrans and the total destruction of his
army With this object in view, Longstreet
was sent out to supersede Bragg, and will be
furnished with all the achievements that can
be spared from Richmond
We have no doubt that another great battle
will soon be fought near MurtreeSboro and it
is not improbable that it may be commenced
this week. An attack is certainly anticipated
by Gen. RoseCrans ana he is making every
preparation to receive and repel the enemy.
Some uneasineSs is telt as to the ability of
our armyto again cope with the rebels We
are told by well informed officers that there is
no cause Of any apprehension of disaster to
our arms. Gen. RosecranS understands the
situation thoroughly.
He has lately been reinforced to make his
army as effective as he desires, and is conf
dent Of victory when the great struggle comes
of.
The headquarters of Gen. LongStreet are at
Shclbyville, bis army being extended from
that point to Tullahoma, over a country
highly favorable for aggressive military move
ments, and covering alt the main roads
through that section. Gen. Rosecrans' pres
ent position is said to be one of great natural
strength, and easily defensibe.

DESPERATE STRUGGLE OF A SLAVE MorH-
Err FOR HER FREEDoM.-Some slave traders
from Henderson, Ky, arrived at the capitol
house, Saturday, from Lexington, where they
had purchased several negroes, among which
were Il woman named Harriet, and her infant
child. The slaves were placed in basement
room for safety. as it was known that Harriet
had astrong repugnance to going away, having
been separated from her husband and other
children.
She is large, powerful woman, apparently
about thirty years old and possesses strong
domestic instincts. About eleven O'Clock,
when most Of the guests had retired, Harriet
with her child clasped to her bosom, dashed
trantically from the basement to the hall, and
finding the door locked raised her clinched
hand, and with powerful blows smashed the
lights surrounding it, shivered two sections of
two-inch sash, forced herself through the APP
erture, and with lacerated hand and arm
streaming with blood fled as if for life.
Subsequently she was found exhausted from
loss of blood and almost frozen, crouched in
the corner of a stable, whittier she had been
traced by her blood upon the snow. The
door sill and wall at the Capital Hotel are sat
urated with this slave mothers blood, a mute
but eloquent appeal, and there it will remain,
''for not al. Neptune's ocean can wash this
blood clean" and senators and law makers
shall see it as they go and come from the leg
islatiye halls, another evidence of the instinc-
tive and ineradicable love and aspiration for
freedom.
