Revolution in Poland.

A threatening insurrection bad broken
out in the provinces around Warsaw, In
consequence as we supposed, OF the con
scription which had recently taken place
there. Two thousand of the conscripts
enrolled at Warsaw, had deserted, but
hostages were seized in their places
Three bands of insurgents had assembled
one in the direction of Minsk, eight
versts from Warsaw; the second at Blon-
ME, near Serock, and the third at Put
tuck. A Warsaw telegram of the Oath
ult, says On the night of the Odd at
tacts were everywhere made upon the
attachments Of troops separately canton
ed The insurgents killed all the troops
they found in the houses where they
were billeted,
The several detachments of military
having however. afterwards united, re-
pulsed the insurgents, and took many
prisoners, Thirty Russians were killed
and three simes that number wounded
in the combat
Col. Krglianponz was killed in wood.
Gen. Kenebicb was wounded.
More serious encounters haze taken
place. at P ock Plonek and Radzit, and
in the environs of Slodlec. Il
A general concentration OF troops is
taking place.
The whole kingdom Of Poland has
heen declared ~ a state of seige. NJ
TIE garrison of Warsaw has been in.
creased to forty thousand men, who had
been supplied with ball cartridges, and
Other energetic measures had been ia
ken.
The Journal St. Petersburg. of the
25th utimo publishes an account ct tho
insurrectionary movement entirely cog
frming the above kilograms, and stating
that the conflicts which have taken place
at Flock, Plonek, RaGzit and Sedlee,
were of a most serious character, 1t WIS
at Warsaw, on the night of the 22d,
that the insurgents attacked all the
troops separately cautioned, and, killed
several soldiers.
The Journal further states that the
Warsaw revolutionary party intended to
enact a second massacre OF St. Bartholo.
Aew on the night Of the 22d to the 23d
ultmo. AZ midnight, not only in the
city OF Warsaw itself, but in every town
throughout the province, all the detach-
menls of Russian troops were simutane-
ou,y attacked, and many soldiers stran-
ged in their beds. The insurgents also
burned several villages which were viror-
ousiy defended by the soldiers who final
ly everywhere repulsed the insurgents
with great loss.

RIVE Coffee.

The New York papers stale that sew
era. families in that City have been pois-
oned by the use of rye coffee A medical
writer who attended some Of the parties
so poisoned says
Nobody should be surprised at the oh
noxous effects of rye coffee for with the
rye itself grow ergot and other poisonous
plants, and unless their seed be carefully
separated from rye, poisoning is inevita-
BILE. Pure rye is certainly cheep and
innocent substitute for cotfee-the adul.
terations alone are to be feared in the ar
ticle. hope this disclosure will teach
the manufacturers of the article to be
more careful in the selection OF the new
material, otherwise the public will protect
itself more effectually.

aa- So inhuman and barbarious are
the excuses of the Yankee troops becom.
ing, that even many Of the Northern pa
pers are driven to tell ofthem. A CORES
pendent of the New York Herald writing
from Memphis, says:
The most startling reports daily reach
us of outrages by our soldiers all along
the line of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad. The Seventh Kansas reg
ment Of cavalry are particularly mention
ed as the perpetrators of outrages for
which their officers ought to be dismissed
from the service. Fences are pulled down
and burned, hogs, cattle and fowls killed,
horses and mules stolen, houses burhed,
and pillage and rapine are their common,
every day pursuits. Even ladiSs have
had their clothes on their personsthrown
over their heads, on the pretext that they
had money on their persons which they
would not give up. Such deso!ation as
has followed in their tracks in West
Tennessee con never be adequately sha'-
owed forth in words. 1t has to be seen
to be appreciated. Officers who fail to
command their men are guilty and should
be made suffer.

The last dispatches from Gen. Meadc's
army in Virginia make the Fridays skirmsh
decided success for the Union arms. Lee
hastily fled by night, leaving his wounded on
the battle field, and is now strongly entrcnch-
ed near VerdIersyille, about twelve miles from
Orange, on commanding positions. The en-
envy exhibit a determination to make dcs-
perate defence. The two armies are separ-
ated by Mine Run valley, crossing the Fred
ericksburg and Orange plank road. There
was the quiet of the calm before the storm on
Saturday and Sunday. The fact that Gen.
Meade was about TO attack the rebels in their
chosen position indicates the temper OF our
army. The next news must be deeply inter-
estng.
The exploit reported at Knoxville, by which
Longstreet was repulsed by Burnside and lost
a division OF 5000 men, Is pretty good evil
dence Of the safety Of Burnside. The wiley
old rebel will hardly be able to help his friends
in Virginia at this important juncture. But
as it is long lane that has no turning, posi-
bly, Longstreet will get out of his tight place
yet. To study means how will occupy his at.
tention for the present.

GREAT NEWS FROM KNOXVILLE.
The Rebels Beaten,
Burnside Captures a Whole Division

New YORK, Dec. 1.-The Tribune has
special dispatch, dated at Knoxville on Sat
urday, via Cumberland Gap Monday, saying
''We are now in the twelfth day of the
siege. The enemy has gained no advantage.
We are better prepared than the most SAN
guine expected.
Longstreet is de laying for reinforcement
from Virginia. The enemy made diver
sion on Wednesday upon our position over
the river; but after an hours fighting were
driven back.
On Tuesday detachment of the I'd Mich-
gan made a gallant charge and captured
rifle pit with five hundred yards OF rifle works,
but were subsequently compelled to give
way to superior force, with a great loss.
Major Bejangton was taken prisoner, Adju-
tant Noble and Lieut.. Salpen were killed.
Lieut.. Col. Mccormick, of the 18th Michi-
gan regiment, died Friday from wounds. 1t
has been comparatively quiet for the last
two days. 1t rained here slightly this morn

The War News,
GEN. MEADE AND HIS SUPPLIES.

GEN. MEADE AND HIS SUPPLIES.
There is much speculation as to where
Gen Meade will obtain supplies. Some
think it will be on the Fredericksburg rail-
road, by the way of Acquia Creek, while 9TH
ers more sanguine, are confident that Gen.
Meade will open communication with the
old depots on Pamunky river. A good num-
Der of steamers and sailing vessels are at
anchor in the Potomac river, between this
city and Alexandria, laden with supplivs,
ammunition, ratlonS and forage, and it is eX-
pected that advices will be received immedi-
ately which will decide their destination.
FRENCH TOBACCO IN RICHMOND.
1t is expected that fleet of transports I'M
der escort of French corvette will shortly
appear in the James river to take on board be-
tween 5000 and 10000 hogsheads of tobacco
belonging to the French government, which
was bought and paid for prior to the 4th of
March, 1861. This is the tobacco which has
been the subject of so much diplomatic cor
respOndence between France and the United
States. The recent visit of the French min
lister to Richmond is supposed to have had
something to do with this matter.
FROM MEMPHIS.
Memphis letter Of the 22d to the Tribune,
says that Order No. II, just issued, effectualy
closes the lines back of the town, drafts all
of the able bodied men into the ranks for
their own protection, and effectually pre-
vents supplies being sent to the rebels by SYM
pathizers.
Reports were current that rebel force of
10000 were threatening Memphis and Fort
Pillow, and affairs of magnitude were mo-
mentarily expected.
MATTERS IN GENERAL.
Pensions have just been granted to the
widows of two Iowa soldiers, who were
starved to death by the rebels in Macon,
Ga, in Oct. 1862. They were made prison.
erS at the battle of Shiloh.
On the 30th General Schenck sent south
by the way of Fortress Monroe, ex-governor
Thomas G. Pratt and Col Nicholson of An
napolis-a couple of Maryland rebel sympa-
thizers.
The secretary of war has decided to per-
init the surgeons recently liberated from the
jails of Richmond, to return home on fur
Tough of twenty days, to be extended to thirty
if necessary.
Maj. Gen. Foster arrived at Cumberland
gap Nov. 80, en- route for Knoxville.
Braggs main force is reported beyond Dali
ton, Ga. Rebel stragglers were coming into
the Union lines.
Fifteen hundred Chattanooga prisoners ar
rived at Louisville on the Both.
Guerrillas are very troublesome on Cum
berland river: boats are fired into, houses
and citizens robbed, and property carried off
or destroyed.

The REBEL CURRENCY.-The extraordina-
ry and increasing volume of the rebel curren-
cy, and its corresponding depreciation in val
ne, have suggested multitude of projects
among the rebel currency mongers for relief.
What gold and silver is in their country lies
idle in the vaults of the banks The men
cling to their silver like Shylock, and the
women to their gold and jewels Ten thou
sand difficulties environ the financial REFORM
ers, whichever way they turn. One writer
thus presents one of the difficulties =
the rate of interest now paid by the government
upon its coupon bonds is equally as onerous as if
paic IN gold and silver. Example: An importer
owes duties to the government to the amount of $50
in gold, which, ut market value is $1,000 in curren
ey. Does he pay the $50 in gold? No. Does he
pay the $1,000 in currency! No; he presents a cou-
pom from cotton bond; this coupon, instead of be-
ing redeemed at the treasury for its ancied value of
$50, comes i'll costing $1,000. The exporter for his
cotton receives English gold OF which he takes $3.50
s1ehahge and turns it into currency, realizing
S22O0, with which he buys a fifteen million cotton
bond with three years interest due on it, the cou-
Pohs aSsIegaunE Sl40' lie pays these, in lieu of
gold for hsexpo duties, coolly pocketng his bond
for $1,000 against the government and boasts of in
vesting in confederate bonds, as all true patriots
should. 1t is easy to see who gains by the opera
ton" 0P-"
The market report for Richmond for the
23d ultimo, reveals one of the fruits of the de-
based and corrupted currency. 1t is as fol-
lows:-
