Adjutant Thomas to Grants army to Or
ganize negro regiments he will obtain
more men in Georgia, in one month, than
all that have heretofore been put under

hold the country conquered, and thereby

General Thomas can obtain sufficient me-

January that, that the greatest folly Of his
life Was the issuing Of the Emancipation
Proclamation" Perhaps, he said 50, but
it is positively denied at II Washington. Phil

tcat Of the Presidents remark was, thathe
doubted the efficacy Of the Proclamation,
and feared that it would not produce the
good fruits claimed for it by the sanguine.
But no matter if he did use the language
alleged; he has since had abundant rea-
son to change his mind. As long ago as
last August he declared in his letter to the
people Of Illinois, that "the promise Of
Freedom being made must be kept" He
expressed no regret for .having issued it.

urged the President to the act, are being
fulfilled every day. It was the hardest

Horrible TRAGEDY.

London has been startled By fearful trage-
dy. A woman and two children were found
dead In public cab in which they took pass
agc on recent Saturday evening, from the
So terrible an event happening IN public We
hiclc, and on great thoroughfhre at o time
when It was densely thropged, and without
any outcry or violent manifestations Of any
sort by the victims, sent thrill Of horror
through the community. From the testi-
mony In the case it appeared that man with
his wife and two children engaged the cab,
the way he was directed to stop at the Green
Dragon tavern, when the man In the cab sent
him In for pot Of beer. The beer was rot
and drink By the inmates Of the cab, the man
on passing out the pot, turning It mouth
downward, splling whatever was left Of its
contents Upon the pavement. The driver
then went on TO- Holborn, where the man got
tn, directed him to 60 to the Royal Oak,
where he arrived only to find that his cab
contained three corpses! During two days
no trace of the murderer could be discovered,
but on the night Of the SECOND day he was de-
tected and arrested He proved to be a man
named 8. Fl. Hunt, employ ed in drug estah-
lishment, whose departure from home with
description Of the murdered persons, had ex-
cited the suspicious Of his peishbora. He
had fastened himself into his house, and when
he heard the police demanding admission,
took poison, from which he died soon after
they gained entrance and arrested him. he
lived unhappily with his wife, and to get rid
OF her destroyed his whole family, by poison
ing the beer which the cab driver bought for
him. The conception and execution Of the
triple murder under such circumstances was
one of the boldest and most startling in the
annals of crime.

f1Y which We 1eld Chattan00ga alter the
battle, will scarcely be realized BY the
public: Some aflr7n that We could not have
held it week longer, but for the splendid,
movement Of Smith and Hooker, which
gave us the Lookout Valley and the river
and settled the question Of supplies. It
Settled also knothar thing: that the rebels
were not stlong enough for their position;
and this faa Gen Grant has just made
real to the country by the glorious battle
1e has fought by which Bragg is routed,
xlnd Northern Georgia is made ours.
Several things may be anticipated to fol
low this victory very soon. Burnside will
be relieved, an6 the mountain ridge, with
its clusters Of valleys, extending through
Southwestern Virginia, Tennessee, North
Carolina, and Northern Georgia, viii be
confirmed in our possession.
Bragg is ruined Hestood only upon one
leg before this; Re will be done for ire
11ievably now. Nor have the rebels any
xery extended list of able generals to draw
from to supply his place Polk, Longstreet
and Breclinridge are about all Indeed
the Confederacy seems about IS badly re-
lluocd in generals as in currency andin the
supplies Of food to carry On the war.
But then they may console themselves
with this: that they are not likely to want
g,enera1s much Longer; and Il, between a

food and men, Of good generals, tighten
