With the progress of our arms there will also be
questions of momentous Importance springing ap

These will all be freely and fully discussed in the

We have reports of a considerable fight
ON the Rapidan to-day, but no particulars
have been received. The movement once
contemplated of occupying the nights at

doned by General Meade, and an advance
or cred to position forward of that

mined to accomplish this. One corps was

The Volunteer Movement-Extra
Bounties.

Among the counties in this State which
are paying extra bouuties to volunteers are
the following: Delaware. 800: Dear
born. 800: Union. $500; Noble, $50,
and IS per month to the wife and 81 per
month to each child OF the soldier; White,
500; Boone. $500; Shelby, 5000; FLOYD,
$50; Jasper. $50; Randolph, $50; John
son. 500; Warren, $40; Ohio, $50;
Switzerland. SlO); Monroe. 500; Hun
tington. $50; Jefferson. $500; Wayne.
800; Marion. SlO0, Ripley. 500. OF
course this is not one half the number
which are paying extra bounties. for near
ly all are doing SO. Here and there the
County Commissioners have refused to
vote an extra bounty. and as a consequence
we exnect to see such counties draited.--
The quotas o. he extra bounty counties
are rapidly filling aud the great majority
of them will get out OF the draft. In ma
ny localities the townships are giving extra
bountes in additionte the county boun-
ties. The city of Indianapolis gives $50
extra. and this. as well as Marion county
bounty. is paid to colored. as well as
white volunteers The city of Evansville
gives 800. New Albany has appropria-
ted S3 500 for this purpose. and so with
great many other towns and townships.
Besides these official bounties the peo-
pie Of hundreds of townships have sub
scribei sums sufficient to pay from $50 to
800 bounty to each man who is credited
TO that particular township. In this way
the volunteering has been ''hurried up"
throughout the State, until now there are
but few points where there is much danger
Of draft. We think we eau safely say
that not one-thiri Of the counties OF Indi-
ana will be drafted.-Ind Journal

FoRT MONROE, Dec. %.
A flag Of truce boat has arrived from
City Point with 500 Union prisoners in
exchange Tor those sent up by Gen. But
Ter. The rebel government refuses any
further exchange. unless all questions are
given up about which our government has
been contending. and their laws in regard
to officers and soldiers in negro regiments
are recognized. They also refuse to receive
a flag of truce from Gen. Butler, or nego-
tate with him on the subject Of exchange.
because of jeff. Davis proclamation out
having Gen. Butler, last year. 1t will
be remembered hat they are quite willing
to receive medicines from aud to cores
pond with him. Notwithstanding the
proclamation which they now make pre-
text for disseminating negotiations. and
they have already exchanged over 500
prisoners with Gen. Butler.
