follows from Gen. Lees army in Virginia:

CONFEDERATE BoNDs.-Bonds of the 100 mil
lion loan sold in Richmond last week at ST. 5o,
and the Is million loan at 1857 122. This IS a
decided advance, and shows that confidence IN
Confederate securities is increasing. After the
blockade running is stopped, Confederate bonds
will command much higher Premium than they
do at present.

TREASURY MATTERS.
Indications are that the amount for which
the Treasury is to be called on to carry on the
war and sustain the several branches Of the
Government, through the ensuing fiscal year,
will be very considerably less than has been
anticipated. The exact figures of the Wan
Department estimates are understood to amount
to 1886, 900, 900, and of the Navy Depart
nent to $142, 900, 900. An approximate state
ment for ether expenses will be:
For the Interior, Treasury and other De
partments s36, 900, 900.
Interest on Public Debt sos, 600, 600.
Diplomatic expenses are increased, but this
will be balanced bythed decrease in the amounts
asked by the Land and Indian Bureaus. The
estimate for interest On the Public Debt is be-
lieved to be large. The Debt is largely in
creased III the item of 500 Bonds, and de-
creased in certificates OF indebtedness. The
7-30s fall due during the fiscal year, for which
these estimates are made, but as yet it is IN
decided whether to pay them in gold or paper,
and as they are convertible into Skies of 81
it is uncertain how large an estimate, or
whether any ia needed for their rec emption.
The whole amount Of these 7-30s, payable tho
ensuing year, is $139, 900, 0O0-psrtly due
the 18th of August, and part the first ofOctn-
Der, 1864. These certificates Of .indebtod-
ness cannot be given as their amount will de-
pend on the number yet to be issued. 1t is
estimated, however, that they will amount to
about $145, 600, 900. In addition to this the
temporary loan 10 due any time on sixty days
notice. This loan has been reduced by pay
monts within the last month frem over $780,
900, 900 30 less than $50, 900, 900.

The army of Chattanooga has boeu doub-
led since the battle of ChickamAuga. The ar
my Of Gen. Bragg has been reduced one corps
viz that of Longstreet. In numbers, there
fore it would appear that our army was able
to advance and annihilate Gen. Bragg, if he
would stand to be thus treated, all would DO
right. But he is much inferior in force to us,
he will not stand. Well if he will retreat, let
Grant follow! Easily said, net easily done. 1t
takes the whole of the 18th corps, Hocum to dc
guard duty between urfreesboro and Bridge
port a distance of not more than 80 miles. II
Grant should adv ance from Chattanooga it
would require a garrison of at least {, 1000
men, there to be left. Should Bragg fall back
to Atlanta a place distant from Chattanooga
100 miles and he should be followed by Grant,
it would require another corps to guard these
1870 miles to secure our communication and
supplies. Bragg we will suppose to be con-
centrated at Atlanta, he will then have q force
superior to Grant.
But the army at Chattanooga is just now
beginning to get its full rations ofhard bread,
fresh meat, coffee and sugar, and only enough
from day to day, not sufficient to make an ad-
vance with. Then again the horses and mules
are the merest skeletons, thousands have died
and hundreds have been killed.
Gen, Bragg stayed too long for his own
good before Chattanooga, without striking .
blow. Our communications will soon be per-
feet, this he has seen within a few days, and
he doubtless was about packing his knspsack
when Grant struck him the last successful
blow. So far SO good, but the country must
not be disappointed if this victory be not fol-
lowed up at once.

EsCAPED.-The rebel Gen. Morgan and six
of his officers escaped from the Ohio Peniten-
tiary at Columbus a few days since, aud made
tracks for Canada. A thousand dollars reward
was offered for the rs-eapture Of Morgan, but
it wasOf no avail. The last heard of the run
away was his arrival at Toronto, G. W., by
the Great Western Railway.
There is little doubt that Morgan had out
side assistance in sluding pursuit and making
his way to Canada, after he had mined his
way out. The copperhead sympathizers with
Vallsndigham, and the rebellion wsuld con
slider themselves as doing the cause Of their
master great service in aiding the escape of
this most malignant, dangerous and enter
prising Of the Kentucky Rebels.

A POOR

The Racine Journal in quite . lengthy and
labored article attempts to excuse or pAlliate
its own and its party's hostility to the Gov
eminent, OF the ground that the Chicago
Tribune the other day published a severe crit
icism on Major Gen. HalIsck. The Journal
thinks the Peaee-ValIandigham democracy
should now be wholly exculpate1, for their
everlasting fault,finding with every act Of the
administration, and their open sympathy With
the rebels, OF else the editor of the Tribune
should be "sent over the border"
We are sorry that the editor Of the Jouraol
has put himself in a position that he feels
called upon to offer such = poor excuse for his
course. We can easily remember, fsr the
time is not SO very long ago, when he called
himself q war democrat, and thought all loyal
democrats should come out from a party that
had declared against the war for the Union
and thereby placed itself upon a disunion and
secession pIatform-whsn he published a long
letter to the same effect, and endorsed it ed
itorially, from Capt. CHARLEY WALKER, for
merly of this city, and then q strong democrat.
If the editor Of the Journal was conscious Of
the loyalty and patriotism, he would not deem
it necessary to justify it by quoting from the
Chicago Trjbuns an article that no himself
believes to be untimely and injudicious, to
put no harsher term upon it, But the edito-
rails of the Chicago Tribune can be no excuse.

Republican Or Union party. While we believe
the Tribune to be thoroughly and entirely 10y
al to the Government, the Union and the Ad-
ministration, we do not approve orendorse all
its editorials. 1t advocates in its own way
the vigorous prosecution Of the war-the
speedy suppression of the Rebellion by force
of arms. and the re-establishment of the I'm
ion, and the supremacy Of the laws and tn,
Constitution over every foot Of the Territory
Of the Union. The very fact that the Tri6
une does freely and even severely ~eriticise thu
acts rs well as the chosen officers Of the AID
ministration, is sufficient answer to the chargt
of tho Journal, that every criticism Of the acts
! Of the administration is charged upon demo-
} Gratis as reasonable. The Gntmus in judging
of words Is to be taken int consideration, a
much as when judging Of deeds.
The Tribune, Or any ether friend Of the ad-
/ ministration might ~criticise, and even fine

/. tions, and with the view of aiding and assist
ing the Government in its efforts, while al

NEW YORK, Nov. 80.

The Philadelphia Enquirer to-day publish
es q report of Gen. Meade's advance furnish
ed by one of its correspondents at Verdiers
vile, a post village in Orange county, Virginia,
twelve miles from Orange Court House. The
dispatch furnishing the information, dated
Saturday noon, when our cavalry and artillery
were driving the rebels down the turnpike
towards Orange Court House, and within eight
mics of that place.
Nothing but skirnishing had taken place
since the army had crossed the Rapidan, and
our losses are slight and are confined to the
cavalry. Our left wing was extended out to
the wilderness and Spottsylvania City. The
rebels make but feeble resistance and fall back
whenever they are pressed.
1t is reported that TIE rebel force at Freder-
ickshurg has retreated towards Richmond
Thus we hold the roads that run direct from
Fredericksburg to Gordonsville.
We have succeeded in cutting the rebel left
from the main army, and it is hoped that many
have already been taken prisoners.
The rains have annoyed the army to a
great extent, but delayed them only a very few
hours.

Gently published address to the people Of Ar
kansas, by General Gait, who had been a
secessionist and also in the rebel army, but
who is now thoroughly convinced of the error
and crime into which he, and the majority of
his class among the Southern people, fell. We
now give the following equally remarkable
statement of another Arkansan convert to 10y
atty and Union. w. H. Fishback, a member
of the convention which voted Arkansas cut
of the Union, in 1861, in a speech at the
Union meeting at Little Rock on the 31st ult.,
said:
Il am a native of Virginia, and an old res
ident of this State. have been one of yOu.
The same direction has been given to my pref
udice. | was taught to believe, and did be-
Iieve, that everything manufactured in New
England was made to cheat with that the
religion of the people was hypocricy that
their touch was contamination. Fellow citi-
zens,I have seen New England and its people.
| nave been welcomed at the house of the rich
an exile, without a decent coat 10 my BACK,
or money in my pocket. l have always met
the warmest Southern hospitality at the houses
of their middle classes and, my fellow-citi-
zens, in one sense of the word, they have no
poor. l have walked with awe and a con-
demning conscience through the school houS-
es found at every corner of a cross road, | saw
her barren hills covered with plenty l saw
her sturdy sons, every one of them all educa-
ted man, hasten to shoulder their muskets and
place themselves in the ranks of the defend
ers of their country and | heard them max
ing excuses for the South, much in the spirit
that a kind elder brother would for their wild
younger brother and l discovered, as you
have, that they are net towards. And fell
low-citizens, New England is a representative
of the North"
The speech was of nearly two hours in
and the speaker concluded by saying
that there was 10 power on earth or below it
that could destroy this Government, for TWEEN
ty millions of people, like those Of New Eng
land, have said-this Union must and shaHb

The weather is very cool. The army is in

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 9O.-There has been
no fighting in Northern Georgia for the past
two days. Our troops hold the country as far
as Ringgold and Cleveland. The enemy is
below Tunnel Hill. The Campaign is proba-
bly, ended.
No news from Burnside at HEADQUARTERS.
The siege of Knoxville is no doubt raised ere
now, and the rebel force in East Tennessee,
can only escape by a miracle Of miraculous
fighting.
The fruits Of the victory are 5000 prisoners,
48 guns, 1000 stand of small arms and a large
quantity Of stores. Our total casualties will
not exceed /, 900.

ing the assurances that he had a short time
before election, that the State would go large
ly for Palmer, while reliable gentlemen di-
rect from the army assured him that the sol
diers would all vote for Palmer.
The editor of the Meas, in a few more years,
lthe keeps on will get his name up for fore
sight and prediction. In the fall of 1860 he
predicted in the most positive terms the over
whelming defeat of Abe Lincoln, and as soon
as it was ascertained that he was elected, he
predicted just as positively that the lost Prss-
ident of the United States had been cleo
ted.
The prospect u.s. now, that a long line of
Presidents are to be elected in the United
States under happier auspices than was Presi-
dent Lincoln, when the Union, rid of the
blighting, whitening curse Of Slavery, shall
rise to a degree Of prosperity and progress
never before known in the history of nations.

Ink QUoTAs n ENLIsTNRNTs.-There is a
matter that needs a little looking into in con-
nection with the quota assigned to
this county. During the latter part Of the
summer Lieut.. John E. Henry, enlisted in
this city over forty men for battery D, 1st
Wis. Heavy Artillery, just mustered into the
service. We should have had credit for that
number in he late draft, but we did not. In
Madison, we notice that a number of drafted
men, equal to the enlistments in that place
since that draft was ordered, were exempted
from the operations of the draft. This should
have been done here but was not, and we
should therefore be credited with the number
on the present call. Sheriff Fox authorized
TO enlist men for the old regiments, has sent
away quite a number Of recruits, We do not
know how many. These too should be cred
tied to the county at large OF to the towns or
wards to which they belong, All these taken
from the 159 called for from Kenosh. Co.
will very materially lessen that number.
What steps are to be taken to fill up the
call with volunteers Should we not have q
