officer John T. Fender. who has just re-
turned from a business trip down the river,
that murder was committed on Monday
last near the town of Grandview, on the
Ohio river. 1t. appears that an old man
named Fullmer and a young man whose
name we could not learn, accompanied by
a woman of bad repute, started from john
sons Landing, in skiR. to go to Grand
view. 1t is supposed that on the way up
the two men got to quarrelIipg about the
woman aud an aGtay ensued. Fullmer
was found lying dead upon the beach near
Grapdyiew with several severe wounds
upon his head, evidently inflicted by a
stone. The supposed murderer, in COM

Special Washington Dlspatches


WASHINGTON, December "a special &c
the Times says:
Meade's army is quietly epcamPed in
the Rappahannock.
Lee occupies his old position at Orange
Court House, his advance line guarding
the Rapidan fords. The pickets are again
on friendly terms, but little duelling and
few casualties on either side.
Bushwhackers are beginning to swarm
again on our TANKS and rear.
JEFF Davis issued his animal message to
the rebel Congress on Monday. The doc
ument is mournful.
Deserters say Lees army does not ex-
coed 1000, and is raising huts for winter
quarters along the line of the Rapidan.
Gen. Meade will soon be relieved of his
command. His successor has not yet been
appointed. 1t is, however, known that the
President and Mr. Chase favor the restora-
ton of Hooker, while the Secretary Of War
hesitates between him and Thomas.
la the event of Thomas taking com.
maud, it is the general impression that
Hooker will succeed him in command OF
the Army ofIhe Cumberland.
There Is no truth in the rum0r that
Gen. Pleasantou Is assigned to the com.
mand OF the Army of the Potomac.
It has been determined to reorganize
that army.
Speaker Colfax is busily engaged In
making up his committees. AS there is a
great pressure for positions on the Com
mittes Of Ways and Meaus, 1t will be Sc
Iected with unusual care. Mr.. COlfax is
alive to the Importance OF placing upon it
the hest financial aud business talent in
the House.
1t is probable that Mr.. Stebbius, elected
as Democrat, aud conceded to be one of
the most skillful bankers in New York,
will be offered place on the Committee,
made vacant by COrniug's resignation.
Mr.. Stevens will retain bis position as
Chairman Of the Standing Committee.
The Senate has agreed upon sub-com-
mittee and il will DO announced to the
Senate Tomorrow. Hon. W. D. Kelly, of
Pa, will probably be Chairman of the
House Naval Committee.
The Treasury report recommends q duty
Of q per cent. on bank note circulation,
per cent, on cotton, Toe gallon on
crude petroleum. Go a gallon on distilled
spirits, zoe pound on leaf tobacco, and b
TO IL manufactured.
The Secretary recommends the issue OF
no more paper money, but asks leave to
borrow three hundred millions for the cur
rent fiscal year, and six hundred million
for the next fiscal year.
