~Les's army have meet enough, but
the citisens starve in Richmond. No
fact could better illustrate the sternness
of the military rule 10 the south. The
agents of the government impress food
wherever they find il, for the support of
the army. They occupy the railroads for
the transportation of the food, which they
seize. The citizens can therefore find
hardly any food to purchase, and if it is
found in the country, they cannot &c.
it transported. Everything is for the
support OF the army. ya1 sd

News from Burnstde.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 23.-Maj. Gen. Foster
has arrived here, and will leave for Knox
vile to-day
Official advices from East Tennessee, up
to IL O'Clock, yesterday morning, was en-
couraging. The firing heard by our ex-
IRENE out-posts at Knoxville, was probably
at Cumberland Gap. Adjutant Stanley,
of the 10th Kentucky cavalry, has arrived
from the latter place, having left there yes
terday. He brings hopeful news relative
to our situation there.
Burnside was till holding out, and had
notified the citizens that he would certain
ly hold Knoxville. The rebel force oppos-
ing him is estimated at thirty-six thousand.
Knoxville is not closely invested. The
enemy have withdrawn from the south
side of the river, and we now forage there.
The artillery fighting on the 10Th and
Goth was very severe. The enemy sustain
ed heavy loss.
Brig. Gen'l Sanders, who was wounded
at Campbelrs Station, a few days ago, has
since died.
Col. Woodford is slightly wounded.
The Commercial says the withdrawal of
the enemy from the south side of Knoxville
Insignificant of adhesive repulse. Burnside
is holding Knoxville under instructions
from Grant, and it is not therefore, to be
supposed, that the forces under Thomas,
Hooker and Sherman, are wasting their
Tune during these momentous days.
We are in hourly expectation of receiv-
ing Intelligence of a most important char

EDWARD EYERETT'S ORATION
Future Harmony In the Union.

In the Grafton delivered by Mr.. Everett
at Gettysburg, which contains, besides a
most vivid and eloquent description of the
battles there, much wholesome and patri-
otto truth, we find discussion of the pro-
liability of future harmony and peace with
in the Union, after the armed forces of
the rebels are defeated and dispersed and
law again resumes its rightful suprema-
cy. His views on this point are ably pre-
sented, strongly fortified by examples
from the past, and, we need not say, are
worthy of consideration. We print it in
full:
Do not think that exaggerate the con-
sequences of yielding to the demands of
the leaders of the rebellion. I understate
them. They require of us not only all the
sacrifices [ have named, not only to cede
to them-a foreign and hostile power-all
the territory of the United States, at pre-
sent occupied by the rebel forces, but the
abandonment to them OF the vast regions
we have rescued from their grasp-of Ma
ryland, of part of Eastern Virginia and
the whole of Western Virginia, the sea-
coast of North and South Carolina; Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Missouri; Arkansas
and the larger portion of Mississippi and
Louisiana, in most Of which, with the ex-
ception Of lawless guerrillas, there is not a
rebel in arms; in all of which the great
majority of the people are loyal to the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Yesterday af.
ternoon ninety of Mosby's men approach.
ed within three miles of Bealton, with the
intention OF making a raid on the Railroad
being dressed in Federal uniforms. The
detachments of the 1st Pennsylvania and
9th Ohio cavalry, who were in the imme-
date neighborhood at the time, mistook
them for Federals, but soon discovered
their error, when the rebels fired volley
into them, by which several were wound
ed. The rebels were instantly pursued and
driven to Smokers Gap. Six of the gang
were captured. At the latest accounts our
cavalry had not returned.
John Minor Bolts, who is now at his res
ldence at Auburn, Culpepper county, pre-
vlOuS to our recent advance over the Rap
pahannock sent letter to the Richmond
Examiner on the subject of his arrest and
treatment. 1t is full ofinterest, and copy
has been saved for publication.
Impressions in regard to the enemy's
strength on the Rapidan are various. Some
maintain that Lees entire force does not
exceed 10000. Others state as high as Is, 900.

gentleman who has arrived here from
Fortress Monroe states that he there heard
that the correspondence OF the respective
agents for the exchange of prisoners has
mutual confidence. Their usefulness is
thereby impaired. and hence the opinion is
frequently expressed that if there could be
change of agents an exchange of nearly
all, If not all, the prisoners might be eff
fected.
The payments for all branches of the
public service for the fiscal year ending
with the last of June, were 1908, OOO, 900, of
which amount $500, 900, 900 was for the army,
and $3.50, 600, 900 for the Navy. A sufficien-
cy Of money has been placed in the hands
Of all the ay-masters to pay our armies up
to the present month.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Star says
it is not known in official circles here that
the Army Of the Potomac has not moved,
nor is it expected it will move to-day.
It is intimated that Gen. Thomas is about
taking advantage of Longstreet's move
ments against Burnside.
The Republican Star of this morning
says: this morning at dawn of day the
Grand Army of the Potomac broke camp
near the north bank of the Rapidan, and
with ten days cooked rations, in haver-
sacks and wagons, commenced an advance
movement of Gen. Meade. 1t is supposed
before noon to-day the whole of our army
will be beyond the Rapidan, and Lee must
fight or run. If Lee does not resist our
crossing, it is evident he is not strong
enough to fight outside of the Notifications
in the latter event he will fall back upon
Gordonsville or Richmond; most likely the
former.
The report that Lees armyis at Hanover
Junction is only speculative. 1t will soon
be known where it is, for Meade will not
stop until he finds it, if he has to go to the
walls of Richmond.

The Star account of the forward
s.. movement.

The Star of this afternoon will contain
the account of brilliant movement by
Major Gen. Thomas. The reconnaissance
in force made by Gen. Thomas has been
completed in the most brilliant snd salts
factory manner. The troops engaged were
the divisions of Gems. Wood and Sheridan
of the 4th Army Corps, under the immedi-
ate direction of Gen. Granger. The object
of the movement was not only to ascertain
the strength of the rebels but to occupy and
hold the two knobs in front of our lines
at least halfway between our lines and the
Missionary Ridge.
The principal attack was made by Gen.
Hazen's brigade, commanded by Gen.
on the left, and by Gen. Welch's brigade,
on the right, and by the whole division OF
Sheridan on the extreme front. of Fort
Wood, where Gen. Hazen's line of battle
formed Gen. Towards corps formed in a
solid column as reserve to the attacking
force. Only one field battery was brought
into action. Thisiwas played::on an elevated
knoll, in the centre of which Gen. Sheri-
dams line of battle was formed.
Before the order to advance was given
the troops moved out of their position just
before one p. m. and remained in line for
three quarters of an hour in full view Of
the enemy, at last everything being ready
Gen. Granger gave the order to advance,
and Gems Hager and. WEIGH pushed out
two p. m. and in five minutes the lines of
Gen Hager were hotly engaged, whilst the
artillery of Gen. Wood and Gen. Thomas
opened upon the rifle-pits and the camps
behind the line of fighting. The practice
of our gunners was splendid. The corps
and battery Of the enemy being about one
and three fourth miles behind, but our fire
brought no reply and it was evident that
the rebels had no heavy artillery in that
part of their encampments. Our troops
advanced as if on parade and occupied the
ground upon which they were at 20 minutes

The official census returns, of the city
of London, just published, show that only
three-quarters of a million out of the mil
lion and three-quarters of its population
were born there; the majority Of perman-
ent residents having come in from the ru-
raj counties to push their fortunes in the
metropolis. OF the twenty millions of per-
sons who compose the population of Eng
land and Wales, over two millions were
born in London, so that great numbers of
regular "Cockneys" have emgriated to
other parts to make room in the city for
their country Cousins. The increase of the
population of the city for ten years (ls5l
daily, or eight hundred and forty-seyen a
week, and as the excess of births over
deaths was only twelve daily, it is to be
inferred that nearly fifty persons settled
every day in the city over the number Of
those who emigrated to other places,

Information of such plot reached Gov.

soon had its guns ready to give the rene
