has been received in that city to the effect that
a courier was recently captured near Chatta-
nooga, bearing an order from General Bragg to
General Longstreet, ordering the latter to eva
c,late Lookout Mountain This, however, was
thought by many in Washington to be ruse
on the part Of The Confederates, as they fired
several shots from that place on the following
morning, and the position is considered too I'M
portant to be given Up without desperate
struggle.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.
The capture of Corpus Christi has al
ready been reported, but the following
particulars are of interest from a special
dispatch TO the Philadelphis Bulletin, Gin
cinnati, Dec Sd:
Tie Memphis Argus has just received
from its special correspondent with the
BRACES Santiago Expedition, the following
news:
= The feet left the Brazos. Santiago Pass
on the evening Of Nov. 18th, and the fol-
lowing afternoon several regiments landed
on Mustang Island, and marched nearly
all night, reaching the vicinity of the rebel
works about daylight. Slight skirmishing
took place between our advance, which was
thrown across the island that no one might
escape, while the gunboat Monongahela
threw number of-11.inch shells among
the rebels, which Immediately caused a
panic.
Half an hour later, when Gen. Ransom
came mp with two regiments in line-of-
battle, the rebels threw a white shirt out
on the point of bsyonet, and made an
unconditional surrender Of this fort, troops
and munitions of war.
This capture Of company Of artillery
and a squadron of cavalry was effected
/ without the loss Of man.

= The aspect Of things is but little chang
ed, It win be seen, by tO-dsy's report
Meade is actually back, and Burnside is
probably relieved. The news from Grant
is still cORtraband. ..s
In this connection, We cannot help say
ing that for day or two we have been
oppressed with fear that things are not
going quite right with Grant. It is OBJ
seryable that we have not hsd any mRteri-
al report Of the progress made in pursuing
Bragg that not one syllable in explsna-
ton Of the battle Of RinggOld, in which
the lanented Creigelon and Crane fell
has yet come to hand that the telegraph,
day or two since, informed us that
Hooker had evacuated RinggOld, burning
bridges, &C. behind him, and thsta rumor,
once ortwice repeated if we do not mis-
take, has iniimated that Bragg is being
reinforced. Meantime the word is that
news from Chattanooga is contrabaDd
An this looks 70 us as If sOmsthing was
& going smiss with Grant. We hope eur sp-
prebensions will not be realized, but we
mean to be ready for bad tidings.

OflGtn OF the IsrOubf6 IN japan.
We give below, from the London and
China Telegraph: the particulars regarding 6
the killing of Mr.. Richardson, the iudivid-
uAl for whose life the British have exscted
such an extreme penalty from Japan.
Says the Telegraphs a@a (
One can not but regret, when such val
liable lives as those of Captains Jostling
and Wilmot, with eleven British seamen,
have been sacrificed, also $50 900 harmless
people burned out Of house and home in
Kagosims, that the cause should have
originated in the arrogance and disregard
for national customs Of q party Of our
countFymen, who we may say deliberately
rushed on their own destruction. The
japanese authorities intimated that il
was desirable that foreigners should not
be riding on the Tokaido, or great public
road, on the 18th of September lsst be-
cause It was probable that Diamids, with
their hosts of feudal retsiners, unaccus-
toned to the sight Of foreigners, would be
travelling on it. This was notified to the
community. 0n.the evening Of the 14fh,
Mr.. Richardson, young man, proceediD 6
home from China, with fortune, was vis-
iting Japan on the way. That same eve
ming he had intended returning to Shsng-
hal, BY Her Majestys dispatch boat Rey-
nard. At the request Of Mrs. BorroGsile,
Hong Kong merchants wife, also yis-
itcr to Japan, be prolonged his stay, and
accompanied her, Messrs Marshall and
Clarke, on their iBjudiciOHs ride to the To-
ksidO that evening. They met for 2
considerable extent Of the road Dai,
mios' retaineTs; and common sense ought
to hsve dictated to them to return, as they
knew perfectly well that they must shortly
come in conGact with Daimio himself
which they did-namely, Shimadzoo S.
bura, the father Of the Prince of Satsuma
and which, unfortunately, occurred at 0
point of the TOksido where it is suddenly
narrow; here the mounted party came il
direct collision with the Dsimio himself
! and in place Of getting of the road, which
they could have done with the greatest
ease, they remained upon it drawing II
one side only. They we're then attacked
when they Immediately got of the road
but by this time the fatal blows had been
received by Richardson. That any blows
were aimed at Mrs. Bsrrodaile, the Jsps
| nese deny; they never strike at women
Without cutting instruments, and fact
tend to support their statements, inssmuci
as Mrs. Borrodaile's hat, as stated, was
not cut in two, but picked up entire, hav
ing been lost by her in her flight. TIT
story about her riding into the sea, pre-
ferring drowning to murder, is in aivanc,
of the fact, her pony took her through {
swamp on his way to regain the road.

Which Of the two really was his errspd,

"<.SHA-ASAON1 OC0GMDcE
Special to the Tribune -...-.-.
A telegram from the front says that the
wounded will be sent to this city to-mor-
row.
General Butler has determined to make
the Department of Virginia and North
Carolina pay its way, as the Department
Of the Gulf did, while under his com
mand. He charges one per cent. on all
goods for the transportation Of which Q
permit is granted, and one dollar for ev-
cry pass into the interior. The money de-
rived from these sources he forms into the
Provost Marshtrs fund, which be purposes
TO administer for internal improvement.
General Butler has also determined to re-
quire the oath Of allegiance from every
person who desires TO remain within the
lines. Those who refuse will be sent
South.
General Butler is organizing. with
great rspidity, force Of colored cavalry.
1t is expected that this force will do good
service against guerrillas.
One of the most notorious leaders Of
these desperadoes, Major Burroughs, whose
capture by squad of colored infantry is
already recorded, stands good chance Of
being hung as a spy.
Special to the Times
Secretary Chase, at the last session, pro.
vided against snT contingency which
might arise from CJngress being opposed
to the Administration and prosecution OF
the war, without any further legislation
by this Congress. Secretary Chase had,
on the 1st Of December, $4,000, 600, ss
follows: Balance of 5-20s unsold, SIl5-
100000; balance, 10000, 600; loan, SlO-

Special 10 the World;
General Meade has not been superseded
/ yet, and he may not be at all, though
Generals SedgW wick and Hooker are conf
dentially talked Of as his successors. The
President is not well enough to give the
subject his attention, and it is probable
there will be much delay in the decision.
There is nothing of interest from the
srmy.
A few rebel pickets have again appeared
on the Rspidan.
Times special;
The Democratic members of the House
will assemble in caucus on Saturday nigh
10 nominate candidates for House officers
The race will be between Cox and Pendle
ton lboth from Ohio.
The report of q cotemporsry that Meadt
has been superseded is premature. Thert
is NO doubt change in the command o
the Army of the Potomac will soon occur
but few persons believe the new Chief vii
be chosen from the Army.
