Longstrest's Division was drawn of from
Bragg's army to attack Burnside. The lat.
ter was obliged to fall back on Knoxville,
which it is said he can hold against any force
the rebels can bring against him. There had
been considerable fighting. The arrival Of
Sherman's command enables Grant TO rein
force Burnside, and the latest report is that
the rebels were falling back from Knoxville.
The very latest news we have from Chatta.
nooga is to tho effect that taking advantage
Of the advance Of Longstreet's division Grant
has moved forward to attack Bragg, and that
tho latter is in full retreat southwark. Grant
was following swiftly, and great battle was
expected between the two armies on the Gath.
There was splendid reconnaissance by Gen.
Thomas in which the enemy was severely
handled, losing two hundred prisoners, and
we gaining position Of great Importance.

CORNELL CoLLEGE.-ln our present lack OF
good educational facilities, we take pleasure
in recommending to parents and students,
Cornell College, located at Mt. Vernon, Linn
County, in this State. This institution is
rapidly growing in public favor, and very
justly too, from the fact that it keeps pace
with the demands Of the age, both as regards
discipline and educational facilities. The
town is easy Of access, and very moral,--no
grcg-shops or gambling holes being allowed
within its limits. The main College editice
is one Of the finest buildings in the State,
being ono hundred feet in length, fifty.
Ave in width, and four stories high, and is
wholly devoted to school purposes. The
course Of instruction here obtanable ia equal
to that afforded at any similar institution in
the West Tuition varies from $500 to
$3.50 per term,-with ornamental branches
extra. Good board can be obtained from
81 rs to $500 per week. The next term
opens December 3D., and if the parents Of
some of the youth that are now running our
streets in idleness, and contracting habits
that had better remain unlcarned, would send
them to this College during the coming win.
ter, If for no longer time, it would he greatly
to the advantage Of the young people. Send
for catalogue, and from it you can obtain
full particulars as to the course Of study, dis

RETAlIATroy-The question Of retaliation
for the manner in which our prisoners are
treated in Richmond is the subject of consid-
cradle discussion at Washington. 1t is said
that the President opposes retaliation, while
some of the members of his Cabinet are in
favor of it. Because rebels show themselves
to be devoid Of every principle Of christian
manhood, that is no reason why We should
degrade ourselves to the same level. 1t wo'd
certainly prove the truth of the prediction
that war tends to barbarism if We should
adopt such an inhuman practice. It would
not alleviate the sufferings of starving Union
prisoners in Libby prison . single iota to
know that rebel captive at Camp Douglas
was experiencing all the horrors of . similar
fate There 10 God merciful and just. and
He will never favor the cause that resorts to
such means to fulfill its ends. Think Of starv
ing man to death in this land of plenty !
The thought is horrible. IF the man be 4
convicted traitor shoot or hang him, but new
Or stArve him.
This action Of the leaders of the rebellion
will recoil upon their own heads. 1t must
array against them every christian people,
and even tho great mass Of the Southern
people themselves must turn from the s;c.nsn.
ing sight Of starving prisoners viii, loathing
and disgust. Surely eause must be wicked,
desperate, barbarous. when it desccnds to
such inenmy. Such acts will but nerve the
Northern heart to fercer and more unre-
lentng warfare; retrbution will be swifter,
death dealing blows will fall fast and sure,
untempered by mercy, from the realization
of the fact that while We are striking for orr
glorious flag and common country, we are at
the same time crushing out as vile race Of
miscreants as ever polluted Gods earth with
their unhaliowed footsteps.
