RedernI Spy.

The correspondent Of the Chicago Tri-
bune, writing from shellmOund, Tsnnes-
see, says the late attack upon HoOkers
army in Lookout Valley turns out to have
been,more destructive, on both sides, than
was at first supposed. Over three hundred
dead have been inferred. OF these, by far
the greater portion were rebels. Our loss
is estimated at full three hundred and fifty
killed and wounded.
The correspondent gives the following
interesting sketch of a Federal spy, and
of the rebel situation:
"Spies are among the most effective
agents in the hands of generals to enable
them to work out their plans successfully.
There is a certain degree of odium attach
ed to the profession which Is undeserv-
ed. An intelligent spy can do the loyal
cause more good than large army and Il
through pure motives Of patriotism, he
chooses TO risk his neck to give US Yalus-
BILE information, he should not be forced to
encounter obloquy besides. An instance
Of this kind of patriotism occurred to-day
which deserves to be perpetuated. A Lieu
tenant of the Seth Indiana Volunteers has
Just returned from a trip to Atlanta and
Rome, and has given me vivid desorip-
tion of the rebel situation. l wish | was
at liberty 10 give his name and some Of the
more startling revelations he makes, but l
would not compromise him, in case Of
capture, by the former course, and the lat
ter were designed for his employers and
should not be published. can say enough
to induce well founded conviction that
the end is approaching. He left Atlanta
on the 23d OF last month and has since Wis
tied every portion Of the rebel army. I
will not attempt to relate the means he
used to worm himself into the confidence
of the rebel officers, but he did 1t. Brsgg's
army, he estimates at $4,000 men, inolu-
ding all troops on detached service and at
ether stations than Rome, Atlanta and
Chattanooga Valley. He fully confirms
sll previous reports of dissatisfaction in
the army and out of it. The South can
never endure another campaign if the
present one is unsuccessful. There is not
food enough, he says, in the Confederacy
to furnish two months rslions for the
army and the citizens. The published lists
Of prices are not exaggerated
1.-THE Notifications at Atlanta and Rome
are not extensive; not more formidable
than those found at Chattanooga upon our
first occupation Of it. The country is nat
urally easily defended without extensive
fortifuations. If we succeed in disIodgipg
the rebels from Lookout Mountain and
Chattanooga, they will retire 10 the CoOsa
River. They have abandoned all hope of
taking Chattanooga, but, with the large
reinfOrcements they have received, and
are daily receiving from Virginia, they
expect to cross the Tennessee and take
possession Of the Nashville s Chattanooga
railroad, and thus compel the Union army
to fall BACK upon Knoxville and the Ohio
River, while they obtain peaceable repOs-
session Of Chattanooga.

The Johnson I.Iana ImhroglIo.

The sandusky Register Of yesterday
morning has the following:
"By the Cleveland papers Of last even
ing, and by the telegraphic report subse-
quently received, we learn that the devil
is to pay generally about Johnson's Island
and the prisoners there confined We had
no idea before what extensive devilment
there was on foot The Cleveland papers
have it that q gunboat had left the Canada
shore, was to capture the Island, release
the prisoners, sack Sandusky, and there
sfter play smash on the lake. To this end
the Herald nearly doubles the prisoners,
making them about 1000, and has them
all making preparations for q stampede,
&c. 1t also puts the whole alarm and sub
sequent order for troops on to Colone lPier-
SON, Commsndsnt Of the Post. The simple
truth is, the alarm originated elsewhere
than here and resulted in the subsequent
action, which is, perhaps, sll well enough.
There have been no signs here Of any sp-
preaching enemy, and no suspicious craft
seen about the entrance to the barbor, as
the Philadelphia dispatch from Cincinnati
has it.
"There has been an alarm, and that
alarm had reference to an expedition from
Canada. How far he prisoners confined
on the Island were supposed to be pri7y to
the matter, we do not know. Colonel Pier
sons action in the premises has been pred
icated upon fears entertained by himself
or others on the Island.
"Whether the fears were we'll or ill
founded, matters little. What with the
troops from Cleveland yesterday morning,
the full battery Of six guns which arrived
last evening, the U. s. Steamer Michigan
the Hoffman Battalion, and the Ssndusky
volunteer militia, we opine Johnson
Island is now pretty safe from piratical at
tack from without or disturbance from
within"

The maneuvering Of the armies Of
Meade and Lee give rise 10 various rumOrs
and surmises, such IS that Lee has left
the Northern army of Virginia, and is in
command of Bragg's army before Chatta-
noogs; that the rebel army is depleted and
will avoid battle; that if hard pressed it
will fall back to the entrenchments in and
about Richmond; that it had made defn-
ite preparations for winter quarters; that
our troops largely Outnumber theirs; that
Richmond is being evacuated; that if
Meade pushes on the rebels will bandOn
al Virginia. There are samples of al
most innumersble reports, rumors and
theories. They may, in whole or in part,
have foundation.
But it is not wise to build hopes on
vague, idle rumOrs and speculatiOns. 1t is
better to remember that we have to deal
with 8 subtle, willy foe, interruptions and
bitterly vindiclive. Appearances, in war
time, are very apt to be deceptive.
lis not probable that Lee has left the
Virginisn army. Il is not safe to rely
upon the statement that in point of mum
bers our srmy greatly exceeds his. His
falling back before our advancing columns
should not be taken and relied upon as an
evidence Of weakness, or unWillingness to
receive, or deliver battle. Lee is con-
summate strategist as his movements all
along have fully demonstrated. He may
be maneuvering for a choice Of ground,
and at the proper time hurl his legiOns
upon our battsllions.
The proper way is to regard nothing
Won, till it is won-to remember that we
are dealing with powerful and implaca-
bIe foe, and th1t the stern mandates Of
battle, Of bloody warfare, are alone COM
petent to subjugste him. II he is weak,
II he is disheartened, If he will retreat, if
be will decline the shock Of arms, If he
will svssuste Virginia, well. So much the
bstter will it be. But it is not best to
build high hopes upon an easy victory, to
have those hopes crushed when the strug-
gle comes. Food, clothing and comforts
may be scarce among the rebels. Those
are incidental circumstances and cOndi-
tions, which may serve to greater or less
eKtent to weaken or embarrass the enemy,
but they cannot be relied upon to conquer
him.
A great battle is TO be fought
before Lee and his army are over
eOne-befcre Richmond can be ours.
It is to be hoped that Meade will net
suffer himself and army to burroW
In winter quarters before resOrting to the
trial Of battle. Let the insolent foe be
overwhelmed by our victorious arms and
driven from Richmond and Virginia be-
fore the approaching winter lays its ban
upon further military operations.
We have not only the urgency Of the
general cause, but superadded to this, the
relief Of our suffering starving, dying
soldiers, In the filthy, noisome prisons Of
Richmond, to impel US to put forth Hercu.
lean efforts, and that right speedily.

Mr. Lincoln has brought his family into
Washington for the winter. Mrs. Lincoln
will keep house in very hospitable style
the coming season. Dinner parties, leeves,
SC, will abound after New Year. Wash
ington will be crowded with strangers,
some of them distinguished. The Presi-
dents house will be open to such people,
though it is limited in some quarters that
some kind Of check will be put upon the
mob. Heretofore, people who could not
enter q decent drawing-room in the ooun-
try, have wiped their dirty boots on the
carpet Of the magnificent East Room at
their pleasure. II it Is proposed that in
the future only clean, well-behsved men
shall be let into the Presidents levees, all
sensible people will be delighted in the
improvement.

The New Gold Fever--BriIIiant Promise Of
New REGIONS.


From the Rocky Mountain (Colorsdoy News.l
The gold mining region is extending in
every direction. New diggings, new dis
triots, new territories, with gold as the ba-
sis Of their existence, are springing up on
every side. A new map before US suggests
these thoughts. Upon it all the vast "mid-
die region" is blocked out into territories.
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada
Utah and IdRhoe shown in contrasted col
ors with definite metes and bounds, where
few years ago was marked the "Great
American Desert" or "Une1plOred Re-
gion." The march of progress has fairly
outstripped the widest dreams of the
"manifest destiny" enthusiast. Gold,
gold, is the moving cause, the potent wand
that has enticed to the arid plains and icy
mountains the tens Of thousands who are
fast laying the foundation for future
States.
The reports Of new mines are absolutely
bewildering. They are borne upon the
winds from the chilly north, upon the
southern breeze, and from the distant west
while yet the people are half wild with
excitement about the northern mines
Boise Bsnnsck, He'll Gate and Sinking
Wster-there comes still more astounding
news from Arazons. Men are picking out
from fifteen to twenty-seven hundred dol
lars per day each, with jack knife. They
do not pretend to save the dust" but on
ly for the big Jumps. During all this time
3 csmpany, that three years ago begun
with almost nothing, is pounding out al
most in sight Of where we write, from
twelve to fourteen thousand dollars in
each week of six days. This is fast ag9,
and the Yankee nation is several lengths
ahead.

NIIsaourI LeF.sInture.

This body met IN the 10Th inst, but for
lack of a quorum adjourned over till the
next day. Two United States Senators are
to be elected. Owing to certain differences
and dissgreements, the State is now un-
represented in the U. s. Senate. There is
an attempted coalition in progress between
some or all of the so-called Democratic, and
some professed Union members to secure
the election of COpperheads to the Senate.
1t is believed the object Of the foul alliance
will be defeated. B. Gratz Brown, and
General Ben. Loan are the choice of many
Of the radicals for the Senate. They are
reliable, unconditional Union men.

The srurhern C.nfsderncr.

Another letter has been found in JEFF.
Davis captured correspondence which
throws light on the maturing plans Of the
Conspiracy. The letter was written by
Senator Butler, Of South Carolina, (the
uncle of Brooks, who cudgelled Senator
sumner) in 1851, and unfOlds the fact
that the conspiraiors were then busily
scheming to inaugurate a rebellion. Can
greater bsaeness be imagined than that Of
these men, availing themselves Of the ad-
vantages of their high official position to
plot for the overthrow Of the Government.
How does this completely Of the conspira-
tors in 1851, cOmpOrt with the charge that
the rebellion was caused by the success
of the Republican party in 1860, in elect
ing Abraham Lincoln PRESIDENT
All who do not choose to be Wilfully
blind, can see that this conspiracy has
been maturing for years, and the cOnspir-
ators resolved to bring it to final cul-
mination during the Presidency of James
Buchanan. To this end they broke up the
Democratic party and thus undoubtedly
ensured the election of Mr.. Lincoln, and
seized upon that as a pretext for the re-
bslliOn. But that was hypOcritiOal pre-
tence. The rebellion was resolved upon,
was foregOne conclusion years before Mr..
Lincoln had been named in connection
with Presidency.
The knsvish letter Of Senator Butler is
as full Of treason ss any rebel document
written since the breaking out Of the re-
bellion. The following is the letter Of the
hOary headed traitor, written ten years,
nearly, before the rebel forces Ared on
Sumter:
