Washington, Dec. 10,

Mr. Stewards diplomat report will b
ready for the press in few days.
The Evening Star has the following:
The authorities here have de.patche,
from Gen. Grant, at Chattanooga, dated
last night at 9 o'clock. They do not in
dictate any recent change in the state of
affairs there. Gen. Grant is in constant
and direct telegrapbic communication
with Gen. Foster at Knoxville, and had
there been fighting between Gen. Long.
streets forces, and ours pursuing him a.
the previous dispatches from Cincinnati
state, Grant would doubtless have sent
such dispatches. The fact that he saws
nothing about such an engagement, in
duces the belief that the statements via
Cincinnati, referred to above, are much
exaggerated.
Two hundred and twelve rebel deserters

evening, and brought down from City
Point free negro who was captured at
Gettysburg. and was recently liberated
by the rebel authorities and also two
surgeons who had been sometime in
prison at Atlanta, GA. While the latter
were in prison at Richmond, the rebel
authorities showed them through all the
prisons in and about the city. They re-
port that they found our prisoners quite
con Portable. and well fed, though they
we're partly furnished from provisions sent
from the loyal States.
The Richmond Wing, Of December II j,
says on Thursday last an explosion took
place at the Chesterfield coal pit, from
the admission of gas in Raccoon pit near
Glover Hill. twenty-nine miles from
Richmond. Sixteen men we're killed and
three injured. The accident occasioned
tremendous explosion. The flames from
the kissing gas ascended some hundreds
OF feet above the orifce of the pit.
