VoLUNTEERs.-Th whole number of
men credited to this county, at the Pro

Of this number 43 were recruited for the
old regiments, and Sc for the new This
leaves a deficit of i26 men that must be
raised before the 5th day of January, in
order that we may escape the draft
We are satisfied little effort on the
part of our business men, will relieve
our county from the hardships of a
draft. A subscription should be taken
up at once in order that bounty of at
least $25 per recruit could be added to
that given by the city. This additional
bounty would, we think, secure the num-
NThe truth is, our citizens are grow
ing careless. Recruiting officers from
other parts of the State are taking men
from US all the time who ought to be
credited to this township and county. In
dianapolis, in particular, has her agents
all over the State picking up white men
and negroes who are taken to the cap
ital, sworn in, and credited to Marion
county. The thirty or forty contrabands
who marched through our streets, a
couple of weeks ago, and who were
brought from Diamond Island, below
here, were credited to Indianapolis.
Other negroes are being recruited in
this part of the State and also credited
to the State capital We must watch as
we'll as work, or we will not get credit
for men who legitimately belong to this
county. We give this warning to those
whom it may concern. There are a
goodly number of men in Evansville

= Two miles further down the river Gen.
Reynolds, with the first corps, constructed
q bridge in the face of the enemy's rifle
pits, and effected q crossing. The resis-
tance was stubborn but Of short duration.
Theft The fire Of the artillery was too rapid and
doned the earthworks and fed, leaving in
the hands Of a party who crossed in boats
81 prisoners from the 18th Georgia and 9th
Louisiana, attached to JacksOn's command.
The prisoners report Jackson as command
ing the right wing of the Rebel army.
Yesterday the Second, COUGHS corps,
took position in the rear of Banks's Ford
with full facilities for crossing his own
corps and as many as might be ordered to
follow him. A good road was constructed
between Banks's and United States Fords,
and only orders were needed to put in har-
monious motion all the departments of this
great army.
Later intelligence brings in the cheering
news that the Eleventh and Twelfth corps
crossed the Rapidan at Germania at 3
o'clock yesterday, and that Gen. Mead,
with the Fifth corps, crossed at q point
lower down at S o'clock. The enemy was
everywhere taken by surprise, and nearly
every picket force was captured.
From three to five hundred prisoners and
wounded had been taken up to clock,
and the command was moving down in fine
order buoyant with hope and overlooking
ecstacy. The line Of march is in the direc-
ton OF Chancello louisville south west Of Fred
ericksburg.
Stoneman, with his full corps of cavalry,
is sweeping down in wide circle, deter
mined, with skill, energy and dash, to re-
trieve the liquidated laurels of the past fort
night. He delayed, dilly-dallied, and
finally failed in his expedition to an extent
that would have defeated the entire plan of
nfS h,rtT e. 80
the commanding General.
What the infantry has now accomplished
Stoneman should have done with his caval-
ny ten days ago, by bold dash across the
rivers and sweep to the enemy's rear. If
1t De so that he now covers over the disgrace
OF the past two weeks, by brilliant sue
cess in raid on the rebel lines Of commu-
nication, he may regain the confidence of
his friends; if not, his reputation will be
lost, and his carer as commander of cav
airy be at end.
y With the reins of his command we'll in
hand, Gen. Hooker rode along the entire
lines, and witnessed thecrossing at Kelly's
Ford. Then and there, and doubtless not
until then, he gave to his corps command
ers the plan Of pending movements. Up
to the time of crossing the river, the sever
under sealed orders; when all were well
out at sea, Hooker himself broke the seal.
From Kelly's to United States, and thence
to Banks Ford, the commander rode thro'
every portion and department of the army,
gave his orders, and saw that no scapegoat,
IN the shape Of tardy pontoons, lukewarm
officers or defective ammunition, stood
ready caparisoned to flee to the mountains
of public opinion with excuses for antici-
pating failure. Before night came Gen.
Hooker knew thoroughly what was trans
piring on both banks Of the Rapahannock.

Whether this was not actually SO. For the
nrst eighteen months of the contest, Eng
i1sh and French policy wavered greatly BY
reason OF II, but at last it was virtually SET
tied that there is no such need for cotton %
would either necessitate or justify interven.
ton. 1t is virtually concluded that how
ever long this war may continue, England
and France can take no part in it without
greater injury to themselves than benefit,
This decision really seals the doom of tho
Confederacy. Had the two great European
powers joined forces against us, though Ne
would have fought them to the last tho
final result might have been a temporarv
REIMBURSEMENT of some portion of our Ma
tional territory, more or less, to the Com
federate usurpation. AS things now are.
there is no more chance of this than there il
of submersion under the Atlantic. We
have the power to snbdue this rebellion
while it remains single-handed, and shall
surely do it. The great Republic win
prove itself to be possessed of the same vi
tai principle which has been shown by his
tory to belong to every other form Of ma
tional existence-the principle that 1t can
neuerbe dismembered by internal conv,slsions,
out only by external violeace. When this
war will cease, we do not venture to pre-
dict; neither can we say in what precise
condition it will leave the South. It il
enough to know that, without foreign in
reference, 1t never can cease until the old
national flag floats undisturbed from the
Lakes to the Gulf; and that this foreign in
reference has now become moral impos-
sibility. The only chance the rebellion
ever had has not been realized; it has van
ished forever. Nothing but pure despera-
ton keeps up the struggle.-N. Y. Times.
