The War News.

FROM CHATTANOOGA AND EAST TENNESSEE.
A Chattanooga dispatch of the 10th says all
is quiet on our front. The rebel battery on
Lookout mountain has been quite vigorously
worked to-day, firing alternately on Rockers
camp, Moccasin Point, and the Chattanooga
camps. Rebel shells are also occasionally
thrown into this town. The rebel fire, al
though a plunglng one, is neither accurate nor
effective. No casualties are reported here.
Our Moccasin Point batteries have splendid
range of the rebel camps in the Chattanooga
valley, on the east side of Lookout mountain.
The movements of the rebels at one time
favored the idea that they would advance in
large force on Rockers position, and endeav-
or to drive him out of it, but the strength Of
that position, and the advantageous way in
which Hooker has disposed of his forces, has
undoubtedly led the rebels to abandon the
project The latest information received
from our scouts is contradictory OF former re-
ports.
1t is now said that the Western Atlantic
railroad is being worked to its full capacity,
bringing reinforcements to Bragg, and that
the road from Chickamauga station for eight
miles south is lined with rebel camps. The
campaign will not be closed without u decided
and bloody struggle for the possession of
Chattanooga and East Tennessee.
Intelligence from East Tennessee 10 the

From WASHING tOn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lin the U. S. dis
trict court for the eastern district of Virginia,
sitting at Alexandria, Judge Underwood this
morning delivered an opinion i'll the case of
the United States VS.. Hugh Latham, under
the cuniiscation act, in which he confiscates
the real estate OF the defendant in fee simple.
This decision gives an entirely different con-
Struction of the law as it is rendered by other
courts.
Among the treaties to come before the SEN
ate for ratification, is one made last summer
by the commissioners of Indian affairs with
the chiefs of the Greeks, by which those who
joined the rebels are permitted to return to
their allegiance, but are to be forever dlsquali-
fed from holding offices of honor, emolument
or trust among the Indians, and the treaty en-
cages to abolish slavery, as the Cherokee
nation has already done, and to colonize freed
men on land of the Greeks.
The first ard second battalions of invalid
corps were to-day received by the president.
Their appearance and military movements
were a theme of general praise.
The Union says it has learned from an au-
thentic source that the small poX prevails to a
considerable extent at Point Lookout, Nd,
the depot for confederate prisoners, and as
many as eighteen had died in a single day.
The delay in filling orders for tive-twentes
is caused by the preparation of plates for the
fourth series OF bonds, which will be finished
i'm a ta, i r. doli'n,'ias ,:;h 49,. l.,
promptly made. The subscriptions to-day
amount to S656,000.

volunteers, recently commanding the coored
troops in northeastern Louisiana, has received

REBEL MOVEMENT IN ARKANSAS,
The Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat of the
Sd inst says :-Desertere report Marmaduke
fallen back south of the Little Missouri river,
and Joined Price. The whole southern force
is six or eight thousand. Marnaduke's men
are securing the country dressed in federal
uniform to detect Union sympathizers, many
OF whom have been shot.
THE TEXAS EXPEDITION.
A successful reconnaissance of the whole
Texas coast has been made by the gunboat
TennesS> e; also the mouth Of the Rio Grande
passes, the bars, &c., most valuable intOrma-
ton as to the depth of water, &C., being OBJ
tanned, as well as views of rebel works and
forces off Sabine Pass and Galveston, Brazos
river, and other points, During the cruise
small blockade runner, with arms, ammuni-
tien, &C., from Havana, was captured, and an
other destroyed. Firing was heard off Sa-
bne Pass, supposed in honor of the arrival of
Magruder at that place.
The government has received information
that few days before the capture OF Browns
vile by Gen. Banks, large cargo of Enfield
rifles was landed there.
IMPORTANT FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Five thousand North Carolina and Georgia
Unionists have just joined Gen. Fosters army
at Knoxville. These men formed themselves
into an army, poorly armed and equipped,
but with real courage and patriotism they
have dared to give battle with rebel "regu
lars at place called Warm Springs, north
of Asheville, Buncombc county, North CARROLL
ma, and near the Tennessee line. These
brave men were making their way towards
Knoxville, when they were attacked on the
DOth of nut hnr nv Il urt Of tha OSfb North
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1863-11-18

1t may be remembered that certain portions
of the cargoes contracted for by the rebel
agent, Huse, with that blockade-running
concern, the Mercantile Trading Company"
spoken of in their recently intercepted cor
respondence, were to come by way of Mata-
moras, and thence be Struggled into rebel
dom, across the friendly area of Texas. That
port has for some time been convenient en-
frep0t tor rebel traders, through which stores
beyond computation have found their way to
the heart of the confederacy. Smuggling by
this route will be etfectually checked hv the
safe arrival of Gen. Banks expedition, and
his successful occupation Of the line of the
Rio Grande. The closing of this avenue of
eGmmanpHGf551V2ne 81 tie 6GSSekade oil viii
mington, will materially shorten the breath of
the rebellion, and reduce the resources upon
a constant supply Of Yhich it depends for pro-
longing its evil life. The expedition, on its
way from Southwest Pass to its destination,
passed in sight OF blockade runners by the
score, watching opportunities to sail in with
their contraband goods, or having succeeded
in it, were coming away with ship loads of
cotton, with which their inward bound cargoes
were paid No doubt they were astonishcd
not little, when they saw strong Union
force taking possession of this extreme south
western boundary of the rebel dominlons,
which they had found so useful and profitable
to their trade-a trade that will now have to
find new channels, or submit to destruction.
General Magruder is now command of the
rebel forces in Texas, having not a large
force, but one to which the people there sub
NIT without much complaint This valiant
general whom the rebel authorities sent to
Texas to be disposed OF, has occasional re-
views and state days, when he appears in
exhlerated condition which was normal to the
him while he was serving his superiors in
Virginia. We trust that our soldiers who
have gained a foothold there, will be so far
sustained that they will be able to narrow
Magruder's field Of operations, and compel
him to hold his next reviews in some of the
healthy mountain passes of western Texas.

From California and Mexico.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 17.-Tasco, ninety
miles west from Mexico, garrisoned by
French and Mexican troops, was captured by
guerrillGs Oct. 9th, and three hundred pris-
oners were taken. This is claimed to be the
commencement of a series of movements for
harrassing the French outposts. There has
been a severe rain storm i'll this city since
Saturday, with southeast gale. The ship
ping suffers.
Inc ship Aquila, having the monitor Ca
manche for cargo, broke from her mOorings
last night, stove in her bottom, and sunk with
her bow in forty feet, and her stern III twenty
feot OF water. Every effort was made to save
her cargo, under the discouraging circum-
stances.
The British ship Oscar sustained serious
damage, and is full of water.

v ORC E S T f r 4;


The legislature completed its special work
Yesterday. and meets this morning for formal
adjournment. The members have devoted
themselves to the particular business of the
session with much energy, and their discus
a sions have had the unusual merit of direct
ness and brevity. The volunteer bill as final
ly passed, appropriates THREE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS to each volunteer UNI
der the call of October 18th, to be paid 10 him
in full when he is duly mustered into the SER
vice of the United States; or he may at his
discretion receive FIFTY DOLLARS at the time
of enlistment, and TWENTY DOLLARS monthly
in addition to all other pay, bounties, allow
ances and relief. The other amendments
are incidental to the bill, and do not affect its
essential character. The bill will unQueston-
ably receive the appreciation of the governor,
and its official PRONUNCIATION will end the i'm
mediate responsibility of the state authorities
under the Call. The burden of labor and re-
sponsbity is now transferred to the inhabit-
ants of the cities and towns of the common
wealth. We do not believe it will be evaded
VI toSl vi III Ailc pACSeulS VI
There isn't man that reads who does not
understand the precise extent of the indispen-
sable work laid upon his town or his ward,
and also the extent Of the personal in
fuence he can or ought to exert in per-
forming it. The one OF two senators whose
discordant voices were lifted against strength
ening our armies are no representatives Of
public sentiment or of public purpose. They
stand alone, without sympathizers, without
followers. Elected to their places of infu-
ence and power at time when political feel
ing blinded some earnest men to the real du
ties of the times, they linger in their seats
long after their constituencies have become
ashamed OF them, and abandoned them to the
consequences of their folly. They vex and
harrass the ears of patriotic men by their set
tied hostility 10 every plan for prosecuting the
war and promoting the cause of civilization
and good government; but their unpatriotic
words fall without influence, while the good
