Tha RahaI Press.

We devote several columns this morning to
the reproduction of extracts from late south
ern newspapers, including rebel accounts Of
the battle at Chattanooga, and the comments
thereon of the Richmoad Whig rebel ac-
counts Of LOngstreets Operations in East
Tennessee, and of the passage Of the Rapidan
by the Army of the Potomac, and the sharp
engagement of divisions on Friday last. We
give also report of the Richmond markets
on Saturday last some political news, General
Orders, &c. The Richmond Wings bitter
articles on JEFF. Davis, and his management
will excite much remark. But they are nc
sharper than those of the Richmond Enquirer,
Of November 9th, which says:
At present we know not the extent oil
the disaster, but we do know enough of the
past to forbid even hope fer the future, unless
the change so long desired in the army OF Gen
Bragg is Immediately made. Dependency
and gloom are fast setting down upon the peo-
pie, who see their cause sacrificed by incom-
petent officers, without even the hope of any
change"
The Enquirer, also says:
"That no officer, but Gen. Bragg, in the
Southwest, retains the confidence of the Pre-
Sident, alarms the public, and unless this i'm
pressionj is speadily removed, will eugender
despair. Pemberton's disaster at Vicksburg
nearly broke the public heart, and Bragg's al
Chattanooga will greatly depress the spirit oi
the deople." 80 5g aa ssrd
The Richmond Examiner says:
The result of General Bragg's useless and
unsuccessful attempt to hold worthless posi-
tion in front of Chattanooga, will not disap-
point any over sanguine anticipations of the
public mind. Such result has long been fore.
seen by all observers Of the situation, and the
country is prepared for it. Why he persisted
in remai9Ag there so long, is mistery only tc
be explained on the supposition of concerted
action between himself and the tardy Lieutenai
of East Tennessee
"T The Confederate army did very little harm
from Lookout Mountain to the Federal forces
in Chattanooga. The relative positions were
advantageous to the enemy. He had not
two miles of hauling for his supplies the Con
federates were forced to drag theirs ovel
nine miles of road that was rapidly killing
all the cattle of the army and the country"
The Richmond Dispatch says
The defeat of Bragg, has long been fore.
seen, has taken, 80 far as we can learn, no bo
dy by surprise"
That Bragg was out generated and whipped
aud that Longstreet was making but poor pro
gress in East Tennessee, considering the risl
in sending him there, and that the Confederacy
is in bad way generally, is freely admitted.

The country has been engaged in war rather
more than two and a half years. Suppose
that the North, in place of being where it now
is in the scale eff success, had been driven back
by degrees, losing first, Maryland and Della
ware, then Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Indiana, and Michigan and finally, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania and New Jersey, leaving a
clear field to the Union Army of the space oc-
cupied by the six New England States and the
Stats of New York. This by land. By water,
suppose that the great harbor of New York
was effectually sealed by the presence of a reb-
ell blockading feet and the ports of New
London, Providence, Boston, Portsmouth,
Portland, barred against the ingoing and out
going of our merchantmen by the same threat
ening presence. And suppose, further that our
currency should be worth but one-tenth of its
standard value in the purchase of the necessa-
ries of life our manufactures destroyed our
coal and iron mines in the hands of the foe :;
our people starving, and the laboring class de-
serting and going over to the enemy by tens of
Thousands. Suppose, for the moment, the
North was reduced to this very state. What
man in his sense would deny that we were in q
pretty bad case-in- desperate case, in fact |?
And would not the think ing portion of the
community feel disposed to consider the Gov
ernment worsted, practically? What man
would deny that the rebels had made most
fearful progress in the work of overthrowing
the Government ?
We have but to consider this hypothesis in
the light of actual facts, as applied to the condi-
tion of the South at the present time, and what
an overwhelming rebuke is administered to
grumblers. This view is commended to that
class of individuals which cannot see that any
progress has yet been made toward putting
down the rebeIlion.--l Wash. Chronicle.

CoNeREss.-This body convened at
Washington On Monday, the attendance of
members Of both branches embracing nearly
the entire number entitled to seats. The
House was organized promptly and without
any difhculty-HOn. SCHUYLEE UoIEAx, of
Indiana, being elected Speaker, Hon. E. Nc
PHERsON, Of Pa. Clerk, Mr.. ORDwAY, Of New
Hampshire, sergeant-at-A Arms. These gentle
men were all nominees Of the Administration
party, and the voting showed a clear majority
Ofifteen, which for all practical purposes is as
good as a majority Of hfty. Nearly all the
Border State Union members (including four
from Maryland and three from Kentucky vOt-
ed for the gentlemen nominated and elected,
and will heartily unite with the majority in Civ
ing the Administration, a generous and cordial
support. The oppisitiOn, which comprises
war Democrats, peace Democrats, couserva-
tiVeB, and the Secessionist returned from one Of
the Maryland districts, were not able to unite
on 9 candidate for any Office, and their votes
were decidedly scattering. The standing CON-
mittees Of the House not having been announ-
ced, that body has transacted no business al
yet, and in the Senate nothing Of interest has
occurred beyond the usual preliminary proceed
ings, comprising notices of intention to intro
ducs bills, introduction Of resolutions of in.
quiry, etc.

The OonsCriptiOn Act passed BY the last
Congress was decided improvement on any
law OF the kind ever before enacted It abOl-
iahed the numerous exemptions OF officials and
Others, confniDg the few Oxempts exclusively
to the unfortunate, and to protect the poer
and those Of moderate means from the effects
Of exhorbitant bids for substitutes on the part
OF the rich, limited to the sum Of $500 the
price OF Communication in money for service on
the part Of those drafted who were not prepa-
red to serve or furnish . substitute This $500
exemption clause has been furiously and inces-
sanity denounced as peculiarly oppressive up
on the poor by the opponents of the admins
tratiOn, and especially so by the Columbus
Crisis and the papers which follow its lead
their object, being Of course, to make politicaiI
capital. This class Of persons, in view Of the
pending draft, will no doubt be particularly
gratifed to learn there is = very fair prospect
Of the to them obnoxious $500 clause being
repealed, when they and their friends, if so
lucky as to draw prize, viii be compelled to
either serve or furnish q substitute II their
political friends in Congress support the meas
ure it will certainly pass, for there are quite q
number of UuiOn men who believing that all
who are liable to do military duty should be
required to respond personally or by substitute
if ifdrafted, will doubtless vote for it. The fol-
lowing dispatch is significant:
WAsHNGToa, Deo ga special to the Times
says: Provost MaTshal-General Fry, in his re-
port, will recommend to Congress, the repeal
of the $500 commutation clause, in the con-
Scription act. 1t is thought this will compel
every drafted man to furnish q substitute or
take his place in the ranks. curtaiIed list
Of disability, which now exempts perso ns from
military service, will also be urged in Con-
gress.
There seems to be a determin alton among
the members of both Houses to abolish the
communication clause. Most Of the bills thus
far given notice Of, look to this result.

Gov. Seymour is claimed by the War
Democrats TO beg their faith, and Gov. Bran.
lette Of Kentucky, they think, accords with
the New York Executive. To show the diff
erenee between them on one question take the
following-and no doubt the reader will ask
how it happens that Northern men can hug
Slavery SO much more fondly than Southern
Shareholders themselves:
What Governor Seymour says: "If it be
true that Slavery must be abolished to save
the Union, then the people of the South
should be alloaOsd to sOithdrGtO Themselves froHS
the Government which cannot give them the
protection guaranteed by its terms"
What Governor Bramlette says: {" Is It
not better, should such an issue be forced,
that zoe preservs our nationality, evsn 4vith the
loss, Of &avsry, than lose both our natiOnali-
ty and slave property"

In the fierce conflict near Knoxville on the
Ieth ::sit. 10 which the brave Gen. Saunders
was mortally wounded on our side and The
rebel General War6eId Of South Carolina
killed, our forces engaged particularly diG-
tinguisbed themselves by their uDdaunted
bravery, among tham being the 45th Ohio, in
which is Capt. Humphreys Company from
this county. The regiment suffered severely,
but We do not know to what extent the cas-
uaIty list embraces the Delaware county boys.
Speaking Of the contest, the correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial thus refers to the
bravery Of our men:
Gen. Burnside had himself placed the line
on Tuesday, and asked the boys to stay there,
and there they stayed. Gen. Saunders. to
whose division they belonged, was always in
the front line, and not one Of his soldiers
would desert him. All day long the roar Of
small arms was incessaut, and occasionally we
threw shells from Rebel Point, the hill imms-
diately on the right on the LenoiP Road, and
on which Is cur principal fort on the LETT
The rebels also used artillery during the day,
but without doing as any material damage
About three O'Clock in the afternoon the reb-
els charged our line with a large brigade, in
regimental front. The extreme right Of our
line being very weak, was forced back by
mere weight Of numbers, and this brought en-
. conflict Of few minutes ct close quarters.
Pistols were used by the rebels, and our bay
oDets being fixed was al that prevented rs
from being trampled under foot. The ofieer
commanding them, mounted on . powerful
bay horse, said to be Gen. Warfeld, Of South
Carolina, rode to the line Of the l12th Illinois,
and cried out, Surrender you damned Yam
KEGS! Give up that flag" Major Don. Of the
| II2th Illinois, was as coolly intrepid as the
rebel, and de6antly answered, You can'E
have 'em. Shoot him, boys shoot him l'-
No sooner said than done; the daring rebel
fell and not one in eur line but regretted
that so brave man should perish in 30 bad 4
cause Our line was too weak to Withstand
the onset of so superior force, and, being at
last 90 ordered, fell back slowly and in good
order from the bill they had held with such
brilliant valor for thirty-six hours. As they
came out from that conflict, the 45th Ohio,
lI2th Illinois, 18th Kentucky and 9Th Michi-
gan, baptised with blood and tried in q fur
mace ten times heated, were covered with 6
glory no time can diminish, and were hailed AZ
heroes, every man Of them, by the entire
army"

NEW YORK, December s.-The Richmond
Whig of the Sd instant, talks in the following
plain fashion
With no other motive or thought than to
advance the public interests we would again
suggest to the President the advantage of re-
constructing his Cabinet and calling to his aid
the Ablest and intelligent of the country. We
have Department of State that has not been
able, for nearly three years, to establish rela-
tions with any other State. a Treasury De-
partment that has failed to keep its finances
from running into ruin. A War Department
in the hands of Chief whose studies and
course of life has been purely and peculiarly
civic. A Post-ofiee Department with a very
shackling system of mails, ard Department
of Justice vacant. The business of esch de-
partnent severally shows the want of more
mastery hand, and the united powers of their
chief in cabinet council. Ifcouncils are ever
held they fail to apply the quantum of wisdom
that the council needs. We are getting into
deep waters, and feeling of dread s shaking
the souls of the people There is nothing the
President can do that will SO regain their
hearts, and stimulate their confidence in an af-
fection for him, as the calling to his side, as
his daily advisers, cabinet of the wisest and
most eminent men in the country, regardless
of what may have been their former political
associations. The time is propitious, the oc-
casion urgent, and the people anxiouSly sx-
peetant for his own continuing capacity for
usefulness in future, as we'll as on account Of
the sorely necessitous and exigent condition of
the country, we earnestly press this recon-
mendation. als .a

again. The recent advance toward
Richmond, from. which 20 much was
hoped two weeks ago, like all SINH
lar movements that have preceded
it, resulted IN the falling back of
our army to the position from which
it started, and it is nov generally
admitted they are preparing winter
quarters. It is not likely there will
be another attempt to advance this
winter, and indeed without it is un-
dertaken with a force sufficiently
large to place failnre beyond all
doubt, it is far batter the effort
should not be renewed. There are
reports that Mead is to be superce-
ded, which is probably the case,
though it is not known who will be
his successor.
There has been nothing of impor-
tance received from Chattanooga
since our last issue. The rout OF
Bragg vas most thorough, and he
was at last accounts making his
way South In order to place himself
beyond reach of the victorious for.
ces of Grant, The rebel press
makes no effort to conceal the mag.
nitude Of the disaster they have sus.
tanned, and gloom and desponden
cy prevails throughout their domin.
ions.
After besieging Knoxville fol
nearly two weeks Longstreet on the
29th inst. made furious assault OF
one of the most formidable works
defending the place, but was repul
sed by our brave boys with terrific
slaughter, and the same night com
menced a retreat towards Virginia
which was kept up at date of last
advices with our cavalry close il
his rear. The result is, that East
Tennessee is rescued, and the rebe
lines forced far back toward thu
gulf.
From Charleston the character O
the advices are unchanged. Firing
upon the rebel forts, with occasion
al throwing shell into the city, st
continue, but the results are not i'm
portant.
From other portions of the fel,
of military operations there is notl
ing of interest.
