Great activity prevailed yesterday
in the Quartermaster's Department in
this city. About all the drays in the
city, besides numerous army wagons,
we're brought into requisition, and vast
amount of commissary stores and forage
was moved from the ware house to the
river
The promptness with which the heavy
requisition was filed clearly manifested
the order, system and efficiency that rules
and reigns in that department, apper-
tanning alike % the chief and all his
staff

New YEARS EVE AMI. New YEARS
DAY-The death of the old year and the
advent of the new year were celebrated
in this city in various ways, according
with the tates and whims of our diverse
population.
On New Years Eve services were held
in several of the churches. Crowds
went to hear Artemus Ward sneak his
piece, Others made night hideous by
burning "villanious gunpowder," Shile
many others mingled in the wild ''mazes
Of the giddy dance.
On New Years Day as great diversity
of means of enjoyment was sought out
Some went hunting, some visiting. while
few daring spirits as will be seen by
our marriage notices, determined to
try the realities of double-blessedness
A great many people kept open house,
and great many good things were de-
youred. There was but little drinking
and rowdyism, going on, and early in
the evening the town was unusually
quiet
All seemed to feel it was a momentous
year on which we are just entered, and
hence the ordinary exhuberance of Joy
that generally prevails during the holi-
days was somewhat suppressed by the
deep anxiety which presses every heart.

B1rThe news by telegraph this morn
ing is of The most interesting character.
The Emancipation proclamation of the
President viii be read with deep inter-
est, mingled with hope and anxiety.
The news from below Louisville is
very cheering, and inspires the hope
that that prince of horse thieves, John
Morgan, before now is either captured or
killed, and his followers destroyed or
dispersed.
The forces now in pursuit of him are
well mounted, and well acquainted with
the country. If the river has risen
enough to delay his crossing, the chances
of his capture are exceedingly good
He has already lost near 200 men, his
caissons, ammunition wagons and much
other property.
The great matter of interest, however,
is the terrific battle that has been fought
near Murfreesboro, of which we haev
such meager and unsatisfactory ac-
counts. 1t is evident that the fight has
been generally in our favor, though
doubtless, as in all other engagements,
where our troops have been compelled
to attack rebel entertainments, the loss
on our side has been heavy.
We shall await the particulars with
the deepest anxiety, but with stron,
faith in the judgment of the hero of Co
rinth, and the bravery and prowess of
the veteran troops he commands.
