WASHINGTON, Oct. z.
Tribunes special:
The Republican of tonight says official
dispatches of the LIST, just received to-day,
represent the military situation. before
Chattanooga as satisfactory as the most
hopeful could wish. Bragg makes no ad
vance, and does not dare to.
The statement in the rebel papers that
Gen. Burnside has retreated from Jones'
boro' to Knoxville is not true. Col. Baker
and his mounted rangers have been scout
ing the country after gneFrillas. They
last night succeeded in capturing Lieuten-
ant Augustine, of Moseby's band, and
about 40 citizens and guerrillss, beyond
Vienna, who we're sent in and lodged in
the Old Capitol prison. Yesterday 40
horses were stolen by guerrillss. A force
has been sent after them.
Recruiting for colored regiments is pro-
ceeding with great rapidity in Maryland.
Loyal masters receive certificates for each
enlisted slave, for $500, payable after the
Constitution of Maryland shall have been
SO amended as to rermit it.
Hersld's special:
A rumor has been circulated that the
Secretary of the Treasury needs more
money, and is about to ssk for another
temporary loan. This is mistake. All
necessary provisions have been made to
meet demands upon the Treasury, at least
throughout the present month, without an
other loan; in fact only one-half Of the
loan has been drawn. The aggregate re-
ceipts for internal revenue thus far in
round numbers are S54, 100000. The esti-
mated revenue from this source for the
year will be S80,OO0,00O
The Cabinet was in session for several
hours to-day 1t is understood the eondi-
ton of affairs in the Department of Mis-
souri, was among the principal topics un-
der consideration. It~is pretty well set
tied there will be a change in the military
commander of the Department, but it has
not been decided how far the civil Cover
norship may be interfered with. There is
an evident disposition TO give the military
command Of the Department to Gen. B. F..
Butler.
Two Government detectives arrived
here night before last from Richmond,
where they have been confined under sent
ence of death as spies, having escaped
from prison and worked their way through
the rebel lines. They speak of most cruel
treatment to prisoners and unprecedented
suffering on the part of the poorer classes
in sections through which they travelled.
Last night q gang of guerrillas surprised
| the guard at Camp Beckwith near Lang
ley, three miles from the Chain Bridge, and
fired into the tents Of the men, stampeding
the entire camp. Two of them were killed
and several wounded. The guerrillas es-
capped without loss, carrying off with them
a number Of prisoners and 90 horses.

While the cOpperhead procession was
passing the house Of a colored family
in Ashland last Friday, where the
mother Of the family had died and the
funeral possession was about to start for
the cemetery, some. of the copperheads, to
their disgrace, yelled out at those in dis
tress over the loss of their parent, in the
most insulting manner, crying Niggerl
Niger Niger sc. 1t is our opinion
that those who engaged in such shameful
conduct as the above were the Higgers of
the occasion, and it would be well for
them to take lessons of decency and pro-
priety from this Christian colored family.
No decent oolored man would disgrace
himself BY assOciating with niggers Of the

CISCINNATI, october 3.
The Commercial has advices from Chatta-
nooga on Saturday last
The estimate at Headquarters of the losses
at the battles of Chickamauga were Killed,
I,S0O wounded, 500; prisoners, $500 ;
total, 1880. It was the opinion that had
the right wing helc its own the result of the
battle would have been decisive Union vic
tory.
The success of General Thomas on the left
was much greater than represented in any
published account OF the battle. Thomas
routed Longstreet's corps, and was in condi-
tion to pursue the enemy but for the disor-
gsnization of she right wing.
No surprise is fell in the army Of failure
should the enemy resume the attack.
The enemy's loss is believed to be twenty
thousand.
Our army is in superb fighting trim. They
are compoet in organization, well supplied
with provisions and ammunition, and full Of

The Richmond Sentinel, of the 29th ult.,
says the House of Delegates yesterday, in the
most summary manner, disposed of resolu-
ton for inquiring into the tone and temper
of the people of the United States on the sub
ject of peace, with view to responding if
favorable. The House knew what everybody
knows, such resolutions are both idle and
misehievous, for they will only be taken by
our enemies as evincing more or less readi-
ness on our part for reconstruction. The
House, by unanimous vote, pur its foot on
the resolution, and without word of discus
sion or moment Of delay, in this they but

The substitution of guu.cotton FOR gun
powder is being discussed in England
anS Austria, At a meeting Of the British
Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence reports we're read claiming the fol-
lowing advantages in such 3 change;
That it makes no smoke, leaves no resid-
mum in the gun to foul il, that a gun is
less injured by repeated discharges with
gun-eotton than with gunpoWder. and that
this subject is not injured By damp as
gunpowdsr is. These sre great sdvants-
ges-sO great indeed as to commend the
use Of gun-cotton to every war making
power; but to these must be added vet
others-nsmely, that one pound Of gun
edition is equal in effect to three pounds
Of gunpoWder-relieving artillery trains
therefore Of tWo-thirds Of their burdens;
and that the cost Of its manufacture is
considerably less, if we compare the
price Of quantities which produce equal

Pay and Expenses of Clerhs in Richmond.

Pay and Expenses of CIerhs in Richmond.
The Richmond Examiner thus discourses
of the suffering of the department clerks
from high prices -..a
/" It is simply impossible for the Clerks
in the Departments here to live on heir
present salaries when they have any one
to depend upon them. They have mansg-
ed thus far to provide themselves food and
shelter by the aid Of such means as they
had, or by the assistance of friends. But
their money is now gone and their ward
robes worn out, while prices have gone up
higher than ever. Il will be absolutely
necessary greatly to increase their sala-
ries unless prices come down. Take an
example The ladies who are employed as
nOte-signers receive SIS per month. It is
q matter Of favor alone if they can get their
board for that sum. Their clothing, wash
ing, medical attendance, if sick, and other
necessary expenses, have to be contributed
by their friends This, when shoes are
$50 or $40 per pair, requires, necessarily,
large sum. A clerk, in one of the De-
partments, gets 81 800. II single man,
he pays, at present rates, from $50 to $50
per month for room and S75 per month
for private board; washing, SO per month;
fuel, extra.

rounds cen be fired with gun-cotton where
only thirty can be fired with gunpowder,
from the fact that the last heats the gun
while the former does not One hundred
rounds were fred from a six-pounder IN
thirty-four minutes, and twenty-five de-
grees Fahrenheit; while one hundred
rounds with gunpoWder took one hundred
minutes, and raised the temperature to
such degree that water was instantly
evsporated The firing with the gun pow
der was therefore discontinued; but the
rapid firing with the gun-eotion was con-
tinued up to one hundred and eighty
rounds witout any Inconvenience.
The report to the British Association adds
thst-
"The absence of fouling allows all the
mechanism of gun to have much more
exactness than where allowance is made
for fOuling. The absence of smoke pro-
notes rapid firing and exact aim. There
are no poisonous gasses and the men suffer
less Inconvenience from firing. In case
mate, where ventilation was prevented, af-
ter fifteen rounds Of powder, taking aim
was impossible, aud in forty-six rounds a
gunner fell in convulsions and the rest
were stu1e6ed. At fifty rounds in eighty
minutes, firing was impossible with pow
der; while continuous firing with gun
cotton was sustained for fifty rounds with
perfect ease and without any inconven-
ienee. The fact of smaller recoil from q
gun charged with gun-cotton is establish
ed by direct experiment Its value is two
thirds of the reeoil from gunpowder, the
projectile effect being equal. The COM
parative advantage of gun cotton and gum
powder for producing high velociiss are
shown in the following experiment with a
Krupp's cast steel gun, six FOUNDER: Or
binary eharg', 3Ooz. powder produced 1888
feet per second charge Of l35oz. gun-cot-
ton produced 1868 feet. The fact of the
recoil being less in the ratio Of two to
three enables less weight Of gun 10 be
IS well as a shorter gun. Bronze
and castirOn guns have been fred 1000
rounds without in the least affecting the
endurance of the gun"
Shells filled with gun-cotton are broken
into more than double the number of piec-
es than shells filed with gunpowder; and
il has been noticed that the thicker and
stronger the shell the smaller and more
numerous are the fragments into which it
is broken.
Gun-cotton is a preparation produced
by the sotiOn of dilute nitric acid and sui
phurio acid upon cotton. 1t was first
brought TO public notice in 1886 by Pro-
fessOr schonbein, Of Basle, in swilzer-
land.

The Testimonial > to General Mcclellan.
The Army Of the Potomac does not sp-
pear to receive with the greatest enthusi-
asm the proposition to purchase some tes-
timOnial for General Mcclellan. The Off
GERS and men of the sixtieih New York
regiment have expressed their opinion up
on this movement in series Of resOlu-
tiOns, as follows:
HRssoEVe5, That we believe said circular
and memorial which it intends is designed
not only to pledge those contributing to it
in manner that will influence their fn-
ture actions, but also their friends in the
North, for the political aggrandizement of
General Mcclellan, who, we have yet to
learn, is deserving of political pre-emi-
nence.
q RssOlVed, That believing history will
do Justice to the really deserving, and the
people honor the worthy, we are of the
opinion that the means now proposed to
sustain General Mcclellan ought to be
frowned upon by every soldier in the ar
my, and that it necessarily implies his
need Of such an expression to sustain him
in the estimation Of the people.
"Besolutd, That knowing well the polit-
icsl associates of General Mcclellan,
among whom Fitz John Porter is baneful-
ly conspicuous, we can but deem this cir
cular, asking memorial, an insult to
both officers and soldiers, who, we trust,
are most eager to furnish means, pecunia-
~, physical and mental, to restore by
force Of arms the former prestige of our
National Government"

The rebel authorities and newspaper Wri-

the battles in Georgia. On the other hand,
they mourn loss Of from 10,OOOto $4,000
and men, who cannot he replaced. Breck-
inridges division lost thirteen out Of six
teen hundred men, and other divisions are
said to have suffered no less severely; and,
indeed, the Richmond Examiner says that
even If the campaign should end with the
capture Of Chattanooga, Hthe victory
would be comparatively unimpOrtant."
