NEW York, Nov 28.-The morning
papers contain nothing additional from
Chattanooga
The Heralds correspondence of the
9th says, while great anxiety is felt to
have the result of the immediate adj
vance of the Army of the Potomac
across the Rspidan, no doubts are en-
tertained in regard to the success of the
movement.
The Washington Republican learns,
from official sources perhaps, that Meade
is pressing Lee hard, and several skir-
mishes have taken place, in which the
rebels have been defeated. Lee declines
an open battle, and is stubbornly falling
back Everything looks well for our
arms.
How tho Crossing or the RapIdan was
effected.
New YoRK, Nov. 28.-The Herald S
Army of the Potomac dispatch, dated ain
the Field, Nov 27th," States that the
Second Corps marched to Germania Ford
on the morning of the Goth inst, when
it crossed. The First and Fifth corps
crossed at Culpepper Ford. The Third
and Sixth corps crossed at Jacobs Mills
The Second corps crossed without en-
countering any serious opposition, and
resumed their march at 7 O clock on the
morning of the 9th. 1t is thought thai
the enemy occupies the fortified position
in the rear of Robertson's farm 10 miles

Saturday morning brought the Notifying
intelligence that John Morgan, with six
of his officers, had escaped from the
Ohio penitentiary at Columbus. ....Al-
though we have no very exalted opinion
of Johns prowess as a soldier, yet it is
great calamity that so untiring horse
thiefis again at large, and we advise
those in possession of good horses to
keep them well secured
Noon DIsPAToHEs.-By our noon
dispatches we learn by what means
Morgan and his men made their
escape. 1t appears that they burrowed
beneath their cell into the sewer that
leads to the river. Their escape speaks
lily for the security of the Ohio peniten-
tiary A reward of 81, 900 is offered for
Morgan's apprehension, which would be
easily effected were it not for the abund-
ance of acknowledgements who have sur
vived the late elections, and who will
doubtless aid him to escape.
NIGHT REPORT. is but little of
interest in Saturday nights report.
We have nothing further. from General
Grants movements, and but little
from the army of the Potomac......
Our cavalry advance had come up
with the rebel cavalry, who were driven
at all points, and Lees army seems
greatly indisposed to fight.
valuable prize has been captured at the
mouth of the Rio Grande-a British
blockade runner, with valuable cargo
and 100000 in gold Great events
have doubtless transpired since Satur-

again making demonstrations on the
Mississippi river, but as yet they have
failed to seriously interrupt navigation.
LIGHT PUNIsHMENT.-We see that Col.
Chas. w. Hall, of indianapolis, has been
sentenced to paya fine of $4,000 and
to be Imprisoned six months, for defraud-
ing the Government in the purchase of
horses. Charley used to be pretty
clever fellow, and perhaps was reasona-
bly, honest until he became connected
with Lincoln's Administration. He de-
serves worse punishment than was in
ficted by the Court, for being caught in
such cumpany-without having stolen
enough 10 make him respectable in the
eyes of such models as Cameron, Curtis,
Morgan (not JOHN, Butler, &c Yin.
sennes Sun.
Charley" is one of those Conserva-
tive Democrats who has had much to say
about the corruptions of the Lincoln Al
ministration He has also been greatly
exercised on the "nigger question"
His case, ike that of thousands of 9th
ers, only proves that the worst plumber
ers under Mr.. Lincoln's Administration
are those who have abused him and his
policy with the most yirulence.
We think, ourselves, Halls punish
ment is too light Ten years in the peni-
Tertiary would have been far better, and
more in proportion to the turpitude of
his conduct.
PERsoNAL-We had the pleasure, Sat-
urday, of meeting Captain CHARLES
CHURCHILL, of the 3Sth Illinois Regiment
