GENERAL RosEcRANs.-The Cincinnati
Gasette pays the following merted tribute to
this gallant and successful officer II says
General Rosecrans has, by the great victo-
ry achieved at Murfreesboro, reached a
higher round in the ladder of military fame,
than that occupied by any other American
General. His claim to this position is not
to be disputed. 1t is conceded to him by
the American people. He has fairly won his
reputation, in hard fought battles, and by
series of victories, won, not by accident or
good luck, but by that science GOODNESS, cal
Eculation and bravery, which 60 to make up
the military hero. On the brightest and
most creditable pages of the history of the
war, the name of RosEcRANs will appear
To him rightfully belongs most of the credit
for our earlier successes in Western Virginia.
But these are now overshadowod by Corinth
and Murfeersboro.

New York LEGIsLATuRE.-The Senate Of
New York State was chosen year ago, and
therefore now, as then, has ten republican
majority. The Assembly chosen this fall
is generally understood to be equally divided
-64 to Ca The politics of one member
conceded to the democracy, seems to be in
doubt. Should he, as is thought probable,
act with the republicans. it will give them
two majority in the Assembly. A United
States Senator is to be chosen by the Legis-
lature at this session. The choice is made
by each house separately, unless they sho' d
disagree, in which case joint convention
is held. The equal division of the lower
house Will make results very uncertain.

FROM TIE ARMY OF THE PoroMAc.-We
have the following by last nights mail:
Yesterday Capt. Chester, serg't Grant and
Private Harris, of the 18th N. Y. engineer
regiment were captured by the enemy ten
miles above Falmouth, on the Rappahan-
mock.
Major Cutting went over the river yester-
day with flag of truce. The object his mis-
sion is not known.
Communications are almost daily inter-
changed between the two armies, and flags
truce have already ceased to attract attention.
Prof loves balloons arc kept in constant
readiness for asccnsions, and very fine views
of the enemy's position have been secured
during the past week.
The river is swollen considerably by re-
cent storms. To night it is storming again.
All is quiet along the lines.
The Times special Washington dispatch
says the facts in regard to the charges in the
War Department seem to be these:
Stanton soon after his appointment, asked
for two additional assistants, to serve for one
year, within which time he expected to put
down the rebellion. The names Of Watson
and Tucker were accordingly sent in, and
they were appointed. Their term expires
about the Goth of the present month. tits
understood that Watson is not candidate
for re-appointment.
There are strong reasons for believing that
Chas. a. Dana, late Of the N. Y. Tribune,
will be nominated to the position.
Accompanying Gen. Hunter, who goes out
TO South Carolina at once, is Col. Montgom-
cry, of Kansas noteriety, he having a COM
mission from the War Department for rails
ing brigade of soldiers in that State.

FROM THE IOWA THIRD.

YocKSA CREEK, Miss 18th.
Dec. 4. The order of the I'd to move
forward early on the Sd has been counter
manded.
The heavy rains of the I'd made the roads
terrible, and the supply trains 60 through
slowly.
The rebels are backing down towards Jack
son in a hurry, and are pursued closely by
our cavalry. The advance (Corinth army
is ahead of us (4th Division), aad portion
of Logan's Division remains at Holly Springs.
We have few prisoners here, some 80
think. The weather is again good, and we
are all Warrington any disposition that Grant
sees fit to make of us. Forage trains are sent
out daily for supplies for our teams, of which
thorc is an abundance in this country, and
notice that the soldiers take the liberty to
lay in fine daily supply Of fresh pork.
Dec. 5. We move not as yet, but we are
waiting patiently for the word "go." Last
night it rained and showed terribly. The
wind blew the water through our tents and
made our situation gloomy and uncomforta-
BILE. To-day it is cloudy, high wind, rain
and snow, Out Of our tents it is cold and
muddy, within there is smoke enough to
make paradise for tribe of Esquimaux.-
We thank our fortune that we have tents,
convenience that many of our troops do not
have at the present time, and We are not
obliged to pack our dry (?) goods in the
present storm.
Dec 7. The storm has cleared off, and
for the last thrty-six hours, the roads have
been improving rapidly. Last night the
ground froze very hard and to-day it is cool
but very pleasant.
Yesterday We received a visit from some of
our companions in arms in the 9th Iowa,
who are IN Humans Division in Sherman's
army. The 4th division still remains here
in reserve, and may not move for sometime,
The cars now run to Holly Springs and viii
be pushed forward as fast as the road can be
repaired. The country through which the
road passes IS very rough, and consequently
there are many bridges upon it. These have
all been destroyed by the retreating rebels.
1t makes it very slow in setting the railroad
in running order.
Now that we are down in Dixie we find
that one Of the best things that has been
done for us was the order of the rebel com.
mander compelling the people to plant corn
instead of cotton. Had they planted cotton
instead Of corn our army at the present time
could not subsist their terms 1t requires
the full force Of the rolling stock upon the
railroad to transport ammunition and rations
for the soldiers. Indeed our forces have
now been compelled to halt in their pursuit
of the rebels because we could not transport
with teams bareback" from Jacksonville
near Holly Springs to supply the wants of
our men.
Capt. Ogg, Capt. O'Neil and Capt. Knight
all belonging to the Sd Iowa, and absent
since the battle Of Shiloh returned to-day.
Dec 8. The weather to-day is mild and
spring-likc, and it seems hard to lay in camp
doing nothing, or at least but little. Would

CRIMINAL TERM---DAvIs, J., PRESIDING.
FRIDAY-In the case of Timothy Raglan,
indicted for arson, in setting fire to the build
ing in Cape Elizabeth, owned by Mr.. VIM. IL.
Weeks, the jury returned verdict OF guilty.
DR.. John B. Hughes was tried on an indict-
ment charging him with procuring an abortion
on the body of Sarah c. Chickering. The
theory of the defense is that no operation was
performed by DIR. H., and that the abortion
was caused by falls, on the ice and sidewalk,
sustained by the woman. Mr.. O'Donnell made
the argument for the accused, and Mr.. Butler
for the State. The case was given to the jury
by Judge Davis, and Court adjourned to nine
O'clock Saturday morning.

The CoLoRED REGIMENTs-We are glad
to hear of quite a patriotic movement among
the colored population OF the city, in the direc-
ton OF enlisting in the service of their coun-
try. Probably those enlisting from Maine
will join the colored regiment, Col. Shaw now
in camp at Readville, Mass, which will con-
sist of recruits from various States.
The number Of applications to the Governor
for positions in the colored regiments, South
must be fabulous, since we hear of them al
most daily. But they come mostly from sold
iers who have stood the fights and fatigue OF
the war, and who certainly can claim, and
doubtless deserve, promotion.
The officers of the Massachusetts, colored
regiment, into which our citizens will doubt
less go, are soldiers who have seen constant
service for months, and this fact gives the
troops great advantages over fresh troops
commanded by green officers.

Monday morning next Gen. Wool, with two
members of his staff, will leave this city and
meet Gov. Buckingham at New Haven, from
whence, after being joined by U. S. Engineers,
the party will proceed to inspect Fort Trum-

The feasibility of erecting fort at Bridge
port is being considered.
The Louisville Journal of Tuesday states
that Forts Hermann and Henry, on the Ten
nessee river, were evacuated and destroyed
Thursday last by the federal troops, as they
are liable to overflow, and not desirable for
offensive or defensive operations. Their arlna-
ments, stores, &c, were removed to Fort Don
elson. 1t is said that other and stronger works
are to be erected in the same vicinity.
The cargo of the British steamer Queen of
the Wave, stranded and captured while at
tempting to run into Georgetown, S. c., is
very valuable, consisting in good part of am
munition. The vessel is said to have been
built by the builders of the Great Eastern, and
her machinery model of hers in miniature.
