The REWARD OF VALoR.-The Knoxville
correspondent OF the Tribune says Of Col.
Frank Wolford, who was lately dismissed
from the service: "No man has shown
more steady devotion to the Union cause, or
has been exceeded in self denial and gallan.

wounded six times, and had sixteen horses
shot under him in battle" Yet this gall
liant officer, for presuming to speak in
public address-to denounce Mr.. ABRAHAM
LINCOLN for his broken pledges, and bis
monstrous usurpations, was dishonorably
dismissed from the army!

INC Outbreak i'm Illinois.

There is an ominous lack Of detail in the
tsleraphic information forwarded from the
scene of trouble in Illinois. All has been
withheld . to the origin, apd much, we
fear. a. to the extent of the disturbance.-
Surely it is safer to trust the people with .
Ali knosledse Of what has occurred ano
Of what threatens, than by imperfect ac-
count, or mysterious silence TO excite the
popular mind to vague suspicions and exag'
gerated surmise.
That formidable number of the people
of Illinois are in arms against the Federal
sold:ery is painfully apparent, The reports
By telegraph call them "rebels" and "eop'
perheads." But from the circumstance that
the Sheriff of one county is the leader Of
one band, and has been reinforced by others
under the direction Of the Sheriff OF another
county, it would seem that there has been
Q collision between the local authorities
and the Federal troops. The telegraph is
silent as to the immediate cause OF such
collision. Possibly the action of the local
judiciary has been interfered with by the
military power, apd the Courts have called
upon the Sheriff to enforce the State law.
If that is the case, the Sheriff 8 forces have
been collected as posse cOmitatus, with au'
thority to act The people of Illinois have
been much exasperated Of late BY the ire
quent mobbing of the Offices Of Democratic
papers, and of the residences of Democrat
ic citizens; and if the collision has result
ed from an attempt on the part of the local
Courts to punish an offence of that kind,
the masses would naturally support the &C
tons Of their county officers.

This is the vessel hourly expected to
make her debut in Hampton Roads. A
gentleman who came from there short
time ago says: go
She is avery formidable vessel, con-
structed with much skill. When her wood
work was finished she was taken across the
rive to the Tredegar works to have her
plating put on. The plates are about ten
feet long aud ten inches in width. They
are punched entirely through with holes for
the insertion of the bolts and overlap one
another when in position. ,sgair adT.E
3 Like Merrimac No. ], she is formidable
ram, but is somewhat smaller than the
great original, which in every other respect
she greatly resembles. Her roof runs up to
a peak, of such height that the sides rise
at sharp angle. When ready for action
her guards will probably not be over one
foot above the water. Being much smaller
SIZE will be far more manageable chan Mer-
rimac the first. Her ports were about six
feet above the waters edge. The ram was
well beaked, reaching about four feet above
the deck, and extending out six or eight
feet, and some eight feet under the water
line.
- 8'sEsas HER ARMAMENT s9aiG
. Although her armament was of course
not yet on board, its character was no Sc
cret. The entire public having access to the
vessel, it was easy to be seen what number
Of guns she was to carry, as we'll as their
approximate characte- From other in
formation however, can state that she
will carry will carry one bow, one stern
and three side guns. They are to be of the
same description as those mounted at Fort
Darling, their ability to pierce our iron
armored vessels having in the attack upon
that fortress been exemplihed--at least co
the satisfaction of the secesh. The balls to
be used are steel-pointed, ard were being
made on the day Of our departure, as well
as previously ~ J1hgah4 4Aks
She is no doubt, completed by this time
and ready for offensive operations, as a
very large gang Of workmen were employed
upon her. She is the pride of Richmonders
who rely upon her for the defense of the
city as mnch as upon their armies, 1t is
boastingly declared, and universally be-
lieved by them that "she viii! sweep the
James river" While this maybe bombast,
it is certain she has one feature Of formida
beness not possessed by Merrimac No. /
her armor plating extends below, the. water

WAR DEPARTMENT, Richmond, Jan. 10,
1864 General Thanks for your sug
gestions; they will be attended to. We
have virtually abandoned al territory
west of the Mississippi. Our leaders in
Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana are left
mainly 70 act according to the dictates of
their own judgment. Oar strategy in
future must be of the simplest and most
rational sort, our operations defensive.
We have lost much in Tennessee, bat
your hopes are well placed; and it will
be neglected. The enemy is strengthing
bis armies; 50 are we. Men seem to
spring out of the earth under our new
CONSUMPTION system, but very many are
not fit for service. The President will
reinforce Longstreet and Johnston first,
and then Lee will get what he wants.
The latter will have command of his
own and LOngstreets army. Johnston
will direct his own army, as will Besure-
gard. The three armies will be put in
as perfect a state of efficiency as possi-
bic. Partisan warfare will be rendered
almost useless. Longstreet will move
into East Tennessee; Johnston will CO.
operate Lee will still hold the enemy's
best army in TIE slough. I am told that
Thomas has urged Lincoln to move uD
the south bank of the James River-his
old home; but Butler is not competent.
and has not over twenty thousand men.
So you see we can prolong the war, and
that ia what we want to do. The enemy
does rot want it to end yet, either. We
will be accommodating. We are pinched
now, and suffer much, but relief is near
at hard. Cheer your men; tell them that
they will be with Longstreet soor,
marching on to our Canaan.
Foster is fOp. / knew him at West
Point You can handle him yourself.
Fortunately the enemy has no great Gen
eral at Washington or in the field. Grant
has been lucky, 50 has Meade; the latter
mss good blood in him, but it is dull and
dormant. Charleston and Savannah will
not be taken. Mobile will be rendered
to Farragut after = hard fight. The Pre-
sident, General Ely, aud all your old
friends join me in wishing you well. |
