Municipal ~Ad County BOuuties.

"a OGA
We T'.rned the other day, from reliable
sources, that the Common Council of the pat
riotic city Of Beloit had voted to submit to
the people of the city the proposition to raise
by loan the sum of sos 800 to-pay IN boun-
ties to volunteers, and that there was no
question that that this loan would be voted.-
AS the quota Of the city is "a under the next
draft, this would give to each volunteer the
sum of $500 In hand, in addition to the hbe-
raj Co. ernlnent bounty. We understand al
go that Rock County will probably offer coun-
ty bounty Of from fifty to seventy-hve dollars.
With such liberal inducements the quota will
speedily be filled.
We allude to this subject to urge upon the
authorities and prominent men Of this county
the urgent necessity Of similar action and at
once. There are thousands of men IN this
State whose circumstances and disposition
would incline them to enlist, could they re-
ceive a handsome bounty in hand, with which
70 clear off old debts, provide for their fami-
lies, or invest in some way. They are now
waiting for municipal and county bountieS,
and will enlist as soou as these are offered
The localities that act the most promptly III
this matter will secure their quotas with lit
tie trouble.
In New York city and Brooklyn, which
have an enor1nus quota to raise, enlistments
were comparatively slow until the additional
bounties were offered, but since then they
have been wonderfully increased, and average
a regiment a week. A like result would fol-
low here, with similar efforts on the part OF
our authorities.
There are few who will object to being
taxed for this purpose. The next draft, un-
less largely diminished by enlistments, will
fall heavily upon those of small means or
none at all. A large number of helpless fam
lies will thus be thrown upon the public fol
support unless public or private generosity
supplies the means of communication in pecu-
liarly severe cases. In that case, however,
s5e should haUe to be tarea II keep men out Of
the army! Is it not infinitely better to be
taxed te pay men who will voluntarily join
the army?
We clip the above from the Milwaukee
Sentinel, but it is equally applicable to this
city and county.

from 6dSI O1A44O0oSOs
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 3d-Midnight.
A special te the Journal says Gen. Wilcox
t~elegraphed to Gen. Burnside on the 3Oth
that at II A. NJ. of the 28th the rebels attack
ed his force and succeeded in driving our Skin
mishing line to the front on the Kingston
road and forced it back to Fort Sanders. We
afterwards gained our position.
There was sharp skirmishing all night.
On Sunday morning at o'clock, the reb-
els moved three brigades against Fort n
ders, and a portion thereof, Notwithstanding
our heavy fire, gained the ditch but could not
ascend the parapet.
We took 800 prisoners and three stand OF
colors. The rebel loss in killed and wounded
is over 800. Our entire loss is about TWEEN
ty.
Longstreet then accepted Burnside's offer for
a cessation of hostilities to enable the rebels to
attend to their wounded.
The wounded rebels were exchanged for
loyal soldiers wounded in previous engage
ments, and the rebel dead were sent through
our lines.
Col. Russ, commanding the assaulting par
ty, Col. McElvy, and Lieut.. Colonel Thomas
were killed.
A simultaneous assault was made upon the
right of our line, but the rebels were finally
driven back. Our loss on that side was about
forty. The rebel loss was much greater than
ours.
Our supplies are ample for the present.
The rebels have been reinforced by one OF
two of Bushrod Johnson's divisions.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.
The military authorities received a tele-
graph this morning from Gen, Foster who
was Joined at Cumberland Gap by the for
ces previously sent thither from Burnside tc
guard that important point.
The few troops under the former might
perhaps be able to inllict some damage on TIE
rear of Gen. Longstreet, who is retreating i'll
to Virginia.
General Sherman would reach the neigh
borhood of Knoxville to-day.
