REWARDS. = About eleven months ago, eigfl-

were detailed, by the late Gen. Mitchell, Tor
special duty, and accordingly penetrated Geor-
gia, in citizens dresses for the destruction Of
railroads. and otherwise to damage the cnemy;
but the Confederates captured them, hung
seven, and confined the remainder in jail. On
Monday. six Of the number arrived at Wash
jngton, having been sent to Fortress Monroe
under flag Of truce The others, it is sup
posed escaped from prison. By request, these
returned soldiers had an interview with the
Judge Advocate, Gen. Holt, and also with the
Secretary OF War, III the presence Of mum
Der Of army officers The Secretary presented
each Of them with medal, such as was aulho-
rized by the late Congress TOR meritorious con-
duct, these being the first bestowals Of that
character. He in addition, gave to each a
hundred dollars, and ordered the payment Of
the arrearages due them, and a sum equivalent
to that taken from them by the Confederates.
He also requested Gov Tod to appoint these
men eutenants Of volunteers. La the event
of the Governor not doing so, they will be bre-
veted lieutenants in the regular service. They
subsequently had an interview with the Presi-

The Washington Chronicle, says" Rich

Miss Mary Thomas, came into the lines few
days since from Aldie, Virginia. They came
North for the purpose Of purchasing articles
of family necessity for themselves and friends.

opinion that the more destitute the people Of
the South are the better are the Federal pros
poets, directed them to be returned yesterday"
Gov. Andrew, Of Mass, concludes bis Fast

probably thinks is to be found somewhere be-

he shapes in this superscriptural tormt:-

Jesse Hunt, in Baltimore, arrested on Wed

WAR NEWS.
There is no confirmation OF the report that
Federal gunboats and transports had reached
Yazoo river, above Haines' Bluff but instead,
the Intelligence is received that the expedition
proper has come to stand still, and that the
Federal land and naval forces are acting on the
defensive. The injuries received by the gun-
boat Chilicothe, in the late engagement. were
more severe than at first reported. The bate
ry Wilson has been dismounted and the guns
returned TO the gunboat DeKalb. This bate
ry was constructed on the 18th inst. and was
to have been used by the Federal troops to be-
siege Fort Pemberton Reinforcements were
expected The Confederates were engaged in
strengthening the fort, but the river was ris
ing, and it was expected would soon overflow
the works. The reported evacuation Of Haines'

new route.
4 report comes from Cairo that seven Of
the vessels of Admiral Farragut's S feet succeed
ed in passing tho batteries at Port Hudson,
and that five Of them had gone ur the Red
river. 1t is also reported that the Admiral's
flag ship, the Hartford, had recaptused the
Tndianola. These reports may be an exagger-
alton of the previous dispatches from the
Southwest, in reference to Admiral Farraguts
On Monday last, the Confederates attacked
the garrison at Winfield, North Carolina, the
gunboat which has usually been stationed there
being temporarily absent. Reinforcements
have been sent to their relief from Suffolk, but
it was believed that if relief did uos arrive in
time, the besieged would be starved out and
forced to surrender. Sixty-ono Confedetates
were surrounded and captured near Trent,
North Carolina, on Sunday last.
1t is reported that Gen. Sterling Price has
arrived al Little Rock, Arkansas, and will soon
take the field at the head Of the Confederate
army recently under the command of Gen.

in other sections Of the State.
The Confederate account Of the operations
Of the negro brigade in Florida is up to the
] 9th inst. The force occupied jacksonville ON
the 10th, and on the Ilth the Confederates
made an attack, and the negroes retreated to
the gunboats. On the 18th they had again
landed and were engaged in tortltylng the town.

We have ascertained from converse
tons with the authorities at Pest Head
quarters, that, within the present year,
it will, in all probability, become neces-
ssry for the Government to prGDriate,
for public use, third or more of all the
business room in this city.
In view of this inevitable necessity,
conssquen upon the very large increase
of the Army in front, we would suggest
to merchants the prOpriety of looking
forward and putting their business in
such q shape as to meet the emergency.
We are assured, by the proper authOri-
ties, that, as far as practicable, the sub
stantisl business interests of the city
will be protected.
The enormous business carried on by
the Quartermssters, Ordinance, and Com
missary Departments, at this Post, now
duplicated by the advent of fresh ar
mics, will require : commensurate in
crease of room. Loyal citizens will be
relieved of the additional levy if pos
sible, but, as all the rebel property in
the city, would be insufficient TO satisfy
the demand, all of them can not hope to
escape. They must, therefore, be pre-
n.rad IN faka fbe chances

with the rebels to the left, and secure
Judgment was soon effected The other
assault, TO the right of our center, gained
the summit, aud the rebels threw down
their arms and fed. General Hc5ker,
coming into q favorable position, swept
The right of the ridge and captured many
prisoners.
Bragg's remaining troops left early in
the night, and the battle Of Chattanooga,
after three days of maneuYering and
fighting, was won. The strength of the
rebellion in the center was broker;
Burnside relieved from danger; East
Tennessee, Kentucky and Tennessee
rescued; Georgia and the South west
threatened in the rear, and another
victory added to the chapter of Uncon-
ditional Surrender Grant"
Tonight the estimate of captures is
several thousand prisoners $ud thirty
pieces of artillery. The loss for so great
a victory is not severe.
Bragg is firing the railroad as he re-
treats toward Dalton. Sherman is In bot
pursuit.
To day viewed the battlefield, which
extends for six miles along Mission Ridge
and for several miles on Lookout Moun-
tain. Probably not so well-directed or
welI-ordered battle has been delivered
during the war. Bat one assault was re-
pulsed, but that assault, by calling to
that point the rebel reserves, prevented
them repulsing any Of the others.
A few days since Gen. Bragg sent to
Gen, Grant a flag of truce, advising him
that it would be prudent TO remove any
non-combstsnts who might still be in
Chattanooga.
No reply has been returned, but the
combatants having removed from this Vi
ciniiy, it probable that non combatants
can remain without imprudence.

paid this bounty, or the settlement can
not receive the conformation of the Sec.
ond Comptroller. II is probable thst at
sn early day in the approaching session,
Congress will take action on the whole
subject of bounties, as the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury is much larger
than heretofore.
Arrangements will be made 10 send
copies to some of the principal cities in
advance Of its transmission to Congress,
together with the other reports of the
heads Of departments; but it is not GER
tain with regard to thatof the Secretary
of War. The manuscript of all the
documents is for the most part in the
hands of the public printer, aud the es-
Inmates of the Secretary of the Treasury
will, as usual, be laid before Congress On
the day of its meeting, but the financial
report will not perhaps ill several days
thereafter.
The Presidents message has not yet
been completed, owing to his sickness.
1t may almost certainly be stated that
this document will first find its way to
the country over the telegraph wires as
on previous occasions.
The statement that General Forey or
the French Minister was furnished by
the State Department with Gen. Scott's
military maps of Mexico, or any other
information preparatory to the French
invasion of that country, is errOne Gus.
Neither Gen. Forey nor the Frensh Min
lister, nor any other person, ever asked
for or received any such information.
The military authorities received q
telegram this morning from Gen. Foster,
who was at Cumberland Gap. By the
forces previously sent thither from
Burnside to guard that important point,
the few troops under the former might
perhaps be able to inaict some damage
in the rear of Gen. LOngsireet, who is

A NOBLE DEED.

Far upon the mountain toward the city

noted object. To this, after the struggle
OF Tuesday and Tuesday night our
wounded were conveyed. Butthere were
no surgeons to wait upon them. Colonel
Scribner heard of their condition. His
noble nature was moved. The tolls Of
the day were disregSrded. he entered
the hospital, and with faithful few 10
assist, he labored until far into the small
hours of night like an angel of mercy, in
soothing the pains OF the sufferers, allie
waiting, as far as il was possible, their
agony, and binding up their bleeding
wounds.
In may varied experience thus far,
have known no accident of the war more
touching, more worthy of remembrance.
and more honorable to human nature,
than this of 4 brave man who had led
his troops unhinchingly through half
dozen battles, forgetting his own some
what feeble health, entering the house Of
anguish, standing over the wounded and
with the tenderness Of q woman minis
tering 20 their wants. The nation may
hereafter shower hOnors on his head for
bis heroism on the field Of battle, but
the recording angel who notes alike the
good and bad accounts Of all, will place
