ed in the office of the Adjutant General, has
made the following communication to the
Press:
ADJUrANr GENERALS OFFICE. I
st. Paul, Dec. 2, 1868.
inclose, by request of the Adjutant General,
a table showing the aggregate quotas of the
several counties in this State, of volunteers and
drafted men. required by the General Govern
ment since the beginning of the war; and also,
the number still required to be furnished by
each county to complete its quota as nearly as
can be ascertained. This is inclusive of those
already furnished during the current year, as
they cannot be yet credited to their proper
residences.
The muster rolls and enlistment papers,
which are the official records of the troops
furnished by the State, do not generally fix the
residence OF the recruits.
In order to ascertain what had been done bv
each town, the assessors have heen requested
to furnish lists OF the names Of volunteers who
had gone from their towns. These lists were
furnished from nearly every town in the State
up to October, 1862, and should enable lis to
fix the exact number of men due from each
town to that date. Since then returns have
been received from but very few towns, but are
daily coming in, and it is hoped. will be suffi-
GENTLY complete to enable the quotas to be
fairly appOrtioned to each sub.district before
the draft
The numbers returned by the towns last wear,
and claimed as their contribution to the whole
number supplied by the State, were found to
exceed the whole number by about fifteen hun
dred. Hence. has arisen a necessity for com
pairing the returns, name by name. with the
muster rolls and with each other-a process re-
qulriDg great amount of time and labor This
was only partially done for the draft of 1862,
and Is yet to be completed. The result will
probably vary somewhat the numbers now
given.
In order to know how many men are still
required from any county. it is necessary to sub
tract from the number in the last column, the
number OF men furnished sincs October, 1862
allowing three one years men rs one volun-
teer Tor three years or the war.
1t must be understood that in all counties
there are particular towns which are more de-
hciens than Others and as each town is to he
subttlstrict, the fact that county as whole
has furnished all or nearly all Of ito quota, will
not excuse any town GOm making up its full
number. The returns from the towns of vol
untets prior to July, 1862, have never been cor
reeted by comparison with the muster rolls,
but are known ~ be largely in excess These
corrections will doubtless vary the figures here
given which must therefore b. regarded as
approximations only. As any excess which
any lowe may have may have will be put to its
credit and allowing on any future call, and a.
II VIII require our utmost efforts to secure the
required number Of men by volunteering, so no
town or county o@ght to relax in it's exertions,
because it stands well in the table now given

then the whole line blazes and roars and
rattles like echoing thunder. Another
line follows and joins in the attack,
and then another. The rebels reply
and fall back. Presently a charge is
made, and we know from the indescri-
bable yell which comes back to us above
the roar and tumult of battle, that it
has been successful We can see that
we have taken their camp. We drive
them through it-they rallying moment
in their rife-pts beyond the timber, but
only a moment, before our boys are after
them. Then the struggling lines of grey
backs cross the open field, and we can see
them hurrying and running and pushing
each other in their eagerness to escape.
They leap over the earthwOrks on the pro-
file of the mountain, and disappeared
Hurrah! there goes the stripes and
stars! and there's another" Two regi-
ments headed by the hOnOred emblem are
rushing for the honor of first entering the
rebel works
One is in a1vance-we don't know
which, and it is of no consequence-it is
on the parapet-the flag is planted-we
see blue-cOated private leap upon the
embankment and wave his hat. He is
calling for three cheers. Let us help him:
Hip-hip-hurrah. We swing our hats,
and are ready to laugh or cry for Joy. The
gallant boy on the mountain drops. Some
hostile bullet has slain him.

Rebel Accounts Of the Chickamauga
ATLANTA, Nov 27.-The city is full of
conflicting rumors of the battle OF Chicka-
mauga. We have lost many prisoners,
estimated at 5000 and upwards. All our
dead and seriously wounded are in the
hands of the enemy.
In the attack on Lookout Mountain the
enemys loss was greater than ours. They
drove US back by force of numbers. The
skirmishing commenced on Saturday, and
there was intense firing on Sunday and
Monday.
The enemy charged on Lookout Moua-
tain with 10000, the same time occupy
ing the attention of orr right wing at the.
foot Of Missionary Ridge. The corps of
Gen. Breckenridge met the shock with
unflinching courage and determination.
In the afternoon the enemy in increased
numbers by repeated attacks succeeded in
making an impression on our lines. At
5 O'Clock P. M. the left of the centre gave
way, the enemy pouring through the VAL
ley like food.
Our troops seeing themselves cut of,
got confused and retreated in, disorder.
After repeated charges we evacuated Mis-
sionary Ridge on Wednesday.
Our army is now at Chicksmauga. We
have 600 prisoners. Washington and
Cobbs batteries lost all their guns Gen.
Waltham was wounded
Our wounded are arriving here and be-
ing cared for. Gen. Bragg's headquarters
are now at Ringgold.

against England--lhe last and themost
cruel. Her offence is no, a violation
Of the letter Of tho law OF nations, but
a violation OF its spirit. 1t is a crime,
no, against conventional law, but
against liberty and the rights Of q COM
mon humanity, by beF course towards
America in the present crisis, Eng
land has placed herselfin opposition to
liberty, Improvement and progress.
The page Of history will blush to tell
how England, after having given US
the principles, the energy, and the
mind that made as great, grew envi-
Gus Of the power Of her own offspring,
and learned TO hate the results Of her
own good gifts how England selfishly
wished for the destruction Of a great
nation, towards which all peoples ofall
climes, were looking with hope and
JOY; how England Knocked at the dis.
tress Of nation which was struggling
TO uphold the principles Of Hampden,
Of Milton, and of Wilberforce; how
England, turning from the sons of the
Puritans, gave all her sympathy TO a
Slave-holding aristoeracy. When Po-
land, separate, subjugated nation,
rises up against her conqueror, Eng
land gives her neither sympathy nor
aid, and only arouses herself after
long apathy, sufficiently to send mild
note TO the Russian governmental
note so very mild that even Austria
can join in presenting it. Bat when
a band of internal conspirators, smart
ing from political defeat and mad with
sectional hatred, swelling in lofty pride
and immense riches over the down
srodden, white rs we'll as black, rise up
against their government, then Eng
land hastens with great alacrity to re.
cognize them as belligerents, to call them
oppressed and down trodden men strug-
Cling against tyrannieal government,
and TO give them substantial proofs Of
her sympathies. Liberty a nd bnman-
ity demand that such baseness should
not pass without just punishment.
American citizens are peculiarly called
upon to defend freedom and punish its
enemies. Our duty is plain. We
