four thousand. After five hours hard fight.

che aid Of cotton bales and the assistance of
three hundred negroes it was soon converted
into strongly fortified fort At one time
the rebels set Gro to the buildings expecting
thus to accomplish what their arms could not

work to battle the flames, and the fire was
soon rendered harmless. We suffered loss
Of seventeen killed, thirty nine wounded and
one missing, of whom five of the killed and
twelve Of the wounded were negroes. The
loss to the enemy, so far AZ ascertained, is
fifty three killed ond one hundred and sixty

NEWS FROM CHATrANoocA.

Our news from the Army Of the Gambler.
land is interesting and exciting. The reports
recently set aaoat by the Richmond press
and some Of our own enterprising cores.
pondents that Bragg was about to fall back
from his present position are evidently Gro.
neous. Bragg cannot afford to abandon his
position in front Of Chattanooga, and we
think never will do it until he does it by
compulsion, which We trust will be at no dis
tant day. The confessions of the rebels gen.
orally are that If they are defeated at this vi.
tai point the rebellion is virtually dead in the
Cult States, and they aver that the campaign
will not be closed without decisive and
bloody struggle for the possession Of Chat
ta,scoga and East Tennessee. Bragg is re-.
ceiving reinforcements and reorganizing his
forces preparatory to this desperate struggle,
and that it will be desperate we may vel,
consider. From the tenor Of our news We
should judge that battle vas likely to be
brought on most any day or hour That the
glorious army Of the Union is fully prepared
70 meet and successfully cope With the armed
hosts Of treason We do not doubt. Lot the
issue be made we do not fear il. .gg

IN this locality, and for all NO know in this
Sixth District. not the tirst initia,ory step has
been taken toward raising our quota Of lhe
last call for troops. We are even more IL the
dark as how to %. to work and what 70 do
than othsr Districts. With US, recruiting Of.
ficers have not even been appointed yet, and
the matter Of raising volunteers is as quiet
and unagitated as it was before the Prcsi-
dents call. There is no excuse for this that
we can sec.
Iowa has been most prompt in her re.
Spouse to previous calls, and we believe this
last could be answered and tho draft avoided,
if the proper steps were only taken and the
proper energy displayed by those who have
the authority and whose duty it is to set the
ball in motion. The time at longest was
short, and much Of it has already been vast
ed. If it shall be necessary to draft in Iowa
we feel assured that it will be because Of the
negligence Of officials, and not by any fault
Of the people.
The quota Of this District is, said to be
eight hundred and eight, and we have only
to the 9Th of January left to ill it. We hope
there may be waking up to prompt and en-
ergetic action in this important matter. u
The following remarks on this subject by
the Burlington HACK Eye are just to our
minds a~1ssf e ss5e..., ..s.5
We don't know whose business it is but
it seems to us that something ought to have
been done before this time towards informing
the people of the several Districts in our
State, and the several counties and localities
composing them, what number of volunteers
are required from each. Yifis has long since
been done in other States, and We can't dis,
cover any good reason why it is not done
here. Eaca county, each city and township,
when It is told just what it has to do, will
probably attempt to do it, But, so far as we
are aware, nobody has given them this infor.
nation, and every body is still in the dark.
II the quota Of Iowa is to be filed up by
volunteering, there must be united and au-
thorltative effort made to accomplish it. It
will rot be done If the proper officials fold
their hands and do nothing but await the ap.
pearance OF individual volunteers. The time |
before us is short. Though the number re.
CURED IS not very large, yet 1t is larger than
will be furnished unless some Systematic Ia. |
Dor be done to forward and encourage it. As |
matters now stand, localities which might |
Easily avoid the draft, if informed of their |
will not be enabled to do So
Will the proper authorities enlighten us |
Will they start the ball in the right direction,

IMPORTANT FROM TExAs-GKN.
BANKS SUCCESS.
We take the following from the nA,xs ,,,rn.

mary Of the Chicago Tribune sea i4t-a
Gen. Banks greatexpediton which recent.
ly left New Orleans for a destination not ain.
nounced but believed to be Mobile, has dis
embarked on the Rio Grand, and nov holds
the dividing line between Texas and Mexico.
By his armed occupation Of that river he
put an abrupt and complete end to the extern
sive rebel trade, which has been going on BY
way Of Matamoras, between the Confedera.es
and the rest Of the world, not to omit New
York. Millions Of dollars worth Of mum.
tons and stores have thus poured in every
month into the famished land of the rebel
lion. All this will be stopped forthwith, and
from Brownsville, General Banks will not
only be able to control this kind Of commerce,
but to make q clean sweep OF the rebel cause
in..Texas and commence her rehabilitation
forthwith. 1t is far the worst blow the cause
OF the Confederacy has received in the region
southwest Of the Mississippi. There are
other possible contingencies growing out Of
possible complications that may make the
presence Of this force on the Mexican border
Of marked importance to our interests abroad.
It is most carefully deliberated and strongly
taken.
