OPERATIONS IN TEN
NESSEE.

Wheeler's successful operations in Middle Ten
nessee are confirmed He crossed the river at
Cotton Port, above Chattanooga, on the 5Oth OF
September under heavy fire, and routed the ene-
my, and entered the Sequachie Valley. He met
a wagon train, 900, well guarded and attacked
them A hard fight ensued, and he captured
everything including several hundred prisoners.
He killed the mules and burnt the wagons and
stores. He next sent Wharton to McMinnVille to
invest the place, and then followed with his entire
force He captured the garrison, including two
regiments of Yankee infantry and cavalry, and
/ thirty days rations for Rosencranzs army, which
he destroyed
He paroled all the prisoners, and exchanged his
worn down horses for good ones. He then dash
ed on and destroyed the bridge over Stone and
Duck River, while Wharton threatened Murfrees:
boro. Wharton then joined Wheeler at Shelby
! vile. The enemy reinforced, and fought
! and drove Wheeler back. He retreated across
the Tennessee River near CORTLAND, Ala.
In addition to the above, gentleman who left
Rome on Friday, says that Wheeler and his COM
mand had arrived safe ct Rome, having brought
out 900 horses in addition to the 1000 killed;
that they captured and destroyed about 300 wa
CONS and stores to the value of 81 900. 1t
is further stated that Wheeers loss was not
over 800, and that he lost no cannon, and had

The TAX IN KINDA correspondent of the
Fayetteville Observer writes as follows:
Messrs Editors: As agent for the collection
Of the taxes in kind in the fourth Congressional
District deem it expedent, in much the
law has been much abused by sundry politicians
and newspapers, to express through your columns
the true sentiment Of all the people with whom
have had to deal. 1t is, Messrs. Editors, "That
it is the best law ever passed by Congress-" It is
true that at first many objected to it on account
Of the trouble necessarily connected with it, but
now that they are familiar with it's operations
'ail are agreed" Many enquiring who of the
candidates for Congress are opposed are in IA
vor Of the law? I am satisfied that the majority
of the tax payers believe it impartial necessity,
just as our brave young men thought of the con-
scription law after the sober second thought. Our
young men have made their sacrifice by going in
to the army, and our farmers are perfectly willing
to make theirs by feeding them, and thus sustain
the currency and help to- make one gigantic stroke
for freedom! Let no Congress candidate be de-
ceved of his "hobby" when he proposes to abolish
the 1.-THE law. tits true it be judiciously
amended. Let the soldiers wives and widows be
left enough fer support, whether it takes much or
little, and the potutoe clause be dropped, and the
law is perfect. But your own able editorials
speak in its behalf than can.
[ am your obedient servant, A FARMER:

Washington specials-Prospeots
Frightening.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Specials to the
Tribune say, with the return of good
weather the rebels made their appearance
in greater force on the Rappahaunock aud
are materially strengthening their position
Hooker is on the alert.
Hooker's system of furloughs to private
soldiers works admirably. Furlougbed
soldiers almost invariably return punctu-
ally. Desertions are becoming more and
more unfrequent.
A Times special says that nothing is
positively known in regard to distant mill
tary operations, only that the Government
are in high spirits and sanguine of success.
Notwithstanding the numerous positive as
sertious that Generals Butler aud Fremont
are assignedto high commands, it is prob
ably not true that either has received any
authoritive answer. twill probably prove
that the the settlement of each of their
cases depends somewhat upon the other,
and that their commands, if they get any,
will be cooperative.
II IS said that Gen. ROuss0u has received
from the War Department authority to
raise ten regiments of mounted infantry
to operate in the west against Forrest and
Morgan and other guerrilla chiefs
The Secretary of the Treasury will not
probably recede from tho position lie has
taken in refusing to receive postal currency
in payment for Custom House dues.
The fifty millions procternal revenue
currency authorized in the finance bill,
willprobably be substituted for postal cur.
rency, which was inadvertently made
equivalent to demand notes, and postal
currency be withheld from further issue
and withdrawn as rapidly rs possible from
circulation without Inconvenience TO the
public.

with several inches of siush under foot.
Notwithstanding the miserable coudi.

done almost exclusively by women, some
of whom carried baskets which seemed too
heavy for the broad shoulders of man.
The prices of vegetables aud meats have
advanced considerably of late. Butter
commands from 80 to 50 cents per pound
eggs, since the commencement of Lent.
have been selling at Is to 90 cents, but on
Saturday they sold for Is cents, chickens,
20 cents pair; potatoes, one dollar per
bushel, or 25 cents per peck; apples, 80
cents peck onions, 81 IS per bnshel, or
373 cents peck. Onions are selling in
Cincinnati at So per bushel, and they are
being extensively bought up on speculation.
Hominy, cents per quart beans, ditto;
dried apples, 5 cents per quart; dried
peaches, 10 cents; sausage sells at III
cents per pound, and pork and beef at 10
cents; beess. pRrsuips, aud turnips sell at
20 cents per peck. Almost eveSy other ar
ticle has advanced in about the same pro-
portion as above indicated.
We have lately heard complaints on the
part of consumers that grocers residing in
the city are in the habit of buying up pro-
visions during the week to sell upon market
days, thus increasing the prices of mar
keting. The market ordinances do not
reach this sort of forestalliug. The pro-
visions only apply to those who buy up
provisions within market hours.
