Rumor.

We have report that our armies have
experienced reverse in East Tennessee,
and been repulsed from Knoxville, but
we place but little reliance on the story
Our forces were too strongly posted
there to be repulsed very easily. The
army Of the Potomac still maintains its
old position, but it is rumored that sew
eral important changes are to be made
in the disposition OF the different corps
There are no reasons to believe that LEE
intends another movement northward
this winter.
Re enlistments under the veteran order
are rapidly going on. Scores Of regi-
ments have been mustered into the ser.
vice, and every day increases their mum
Der. tI
Charleston can hold out but short
time longer. Many of the wealthies
families are already packing up their
buds preparatory to leaving the city.
The Pope of Rome has received a
deputation from the Confederate States
who presented letters from JEFF DAVIS
1t is believed that that the reception has
no official character, and that the letters
were merely complimentary.

Ill DEFICIENCIES in the means Of Of support
TO be supplied from the common fund,
might combine the two elements OF aid
from the public and compensation for
their own exertions, which we have in,
dicated Of course, disabled soldiers
who have homes and friends to go TO
will, when discharged from the army,
naturally repair thilher, as thousands
have already done, and rely for support
upon their pensions and the assistance Of
their relatives and neighbors. Tt is oil
the other class that we are speaking
those who are homeless and friendless, or
whose relatives and neighbors are unable
or unwilling to provide for their sup
port.
The asylums we would see establish
ed should not be regarded as cold chart
ties, but as debts due by the country to
its defenders in the hour Of its EXTREMIST
need. Nor should Legislative aid be
spurned. We only say it should not be
relied upon, and especially not to starr
the enterprise. The need is pressing
Despite his small pension, many SOL
der who has lost an arm or a leg, or a
hand in the service, is suffering for the
means Of comfortable maintenance.

EE- We have been permitted to take
the following extracts from private let
ter written by Mr.. JAMES V. BRowN, Co
L, 1st Iowa Cavalry, to his sister who
resides in Quasqueton. 1t shows the
mettle of our brave soldiers in the field,
and the noble feeling that animates and
encourages them to serve their country
in her sorest hour Of need. After allud
ing TO some local matters he proceeds to
say:
at would be morally impossible for
me to be away from the scene of action,
while my country needs my services,
and thousands are battling in her de.
fence. l could not stay in Iowa and
know that my comrades are contending
for liberty and right, while was doing
nothing but enjoying the fruits Of their
labor. You say that l have suffered
enough and fought long enough for my
share. Does my sister forget that every
one of The sons Of this noble country
owe their lives and services to their
country ? And would she be so selfish
as to have her brother desert his coun-
try, in this her time of need, only that
she might have him with her? Would
she have him forsake every sense Of
honor, and every obligation Of duty, TO
leave his conntrs's armies just as they
are becoming vicrorious Would she
have him lose all the glory apd laurels
which will be sure to fall to the lot OF
those who hol on to the end ? No, /
cannot think she could thus compromise
my honor You have heard and read
about noble minded women, who have
sacrificed all their hopes of happiness on
the altar Of their country, who have not
only given brothers, but husbands and
sons to the cause. Can not my sister be
as brave as any Of these I? The govern
ment offers splendid INDUCEMENTS. and
as long as others will not or cannot enter
the service, I for one viii not leave The
army until our banner floats triumphant
ly, over every city and town in the whole
Union"

Correspondence of the Guardian.

WASH SGToN, ID. c., Dec. 24th, 1863.
FRIEND RICH Business accumulates
so much in consequence Of this wal
that am kept necessarily employed du.
ring the day, and as meetings. lectures
calls and visits, give constant occupa
ton to the evening, and commonly en-.
croach on
"The wee short hours ayant the twal,"
find myself having less leisure than
when at Independence. This will ex-
plain the irregularity of my correspon
dence with the Guardian, though my
omission to write will not be regretted
BY your readers, if your space is filed
by such genial and interesting letters as
are sent by your contributor, 81. NJ
B." and others Of like character.
Congress has convened since I las,
wrote you, and il is very gratifying to
find its members presenting such de
cided majority Of Union men. The un
ionisp of this majority, too, is of radi-
cal and uncompromising complexion.
The choice Of Colfax for Speaker was
not only a most worthy one, but it also
fell upon member Of the press-a class
Of great power in this country, and who
for the most part have not received off
cial honors or emoluments. Ii is uni.
yersally conceded that no one in the
House would erceed Mr.. Colfax in those
qualities requisite for the difficult and
responsible position in which he is so
honorably placed. His organization OF
the various committees is proof OF his
knowledge of men and appreciation OF
ability.
The Presidents message, I suppose,
you have all "read and inwardly digest
ed" Perhaps no preceding message OF
the present incumbent or Of former Pres
deIts has been received with more gen.
ersl favor. The people appear TO regard
it as new attestation Of Mr.. Lincoln's
honesty Of purpose and devotion to the
country. The popular response is es-
pecially favorable to his declaration Of
adhesion 10 his Proclamation Of last Jan.
uary. The proclamation appended to
the late message has elected some crit
cism, though in the main that also seems
TO be accepted by the press and the coun.
try. Some OF the more radical anti sa-
very men think there is undue promi.
hence and significance given 10 The 81.

After all our authorities can do, there
will remain much that you alone can
supply. We have no more sacred duty
resting upon us than this. Let us dis.

The Board of Control is TO hold an
other meeting the Goth of June, when
we will try to right any wrongs that may
have been done. We will gladly receive
any information or suggestions from our
