it-frst that il is TOO far of, and second that our
citizens have now and have had from time imme

spoken Of. Have those who make use of the
first objection ever reflected that il s bat little.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tzlbune.]
INDIANAPOLIS, Sunday, Dec. 4.
1t is now deemed certain that there will be
no extra convocation Of the Legislature prior
to the extra session. Governor Morton has
been hard at work on his message since his
return from the East. It will be lengthy
document, and will fully dischsz all subjects
On which legislation Is demanded By public
interests. It Is probable that the fees and
ra1ar1Cs or nll the state officers Will be largely
increased, In proportion to the increased cost
Of living, and the high prices Of everything.
Petitions ore already being prepared in
many counties Of the Slate, asking for the
passage of such an enactment.
Hon. Laz. Noble, late Adjutant General, is
preparing his report of the business Of the
Office during the last two years. It will con.
tain the latest roster Of each regiment in the
field and statement Of those mustered out
by reason Of expiration Of time Of service, to-
gcther with details Of all matters connected
with the organization, equipment and muster

General, discharges the duties of the Office
in the most courteous and business-like
right place. Candidates for The few offices in

bounty jumpers and their agents came off
yesterday under the supervision Of Col. War

cyolutions were mucll the same as the two
former ones. A big nIggcr with bell, and
b:thd, and guards were all there. This class
Of scoundrcls is rapidly disappearing from
our city. They don't like the treatment.
This city las been rather quiet Of late. No
one has been murdered for several days, and
bnrglaries arc rare. To the Provost Guard,
and not the city police, is due the gratitude
Of the citizens, for this season Of quiet,
Troops continue to be forwarded to tile

General l.eesk Raid aud 18th Illinois

General Lee's Raid aud 18th Illinois
Cavalry.
The account given in the New Orleans Times
of the late bri1liunt cavalry raid in Louisiana,
under command Of General Les, is deficient In
some particulars, which we are able TO supply
from lettersjust received from Baton Rouge.
The command started on the raid In three
different dctachments: The 1eth Illinois cav
7.iry. Lieut.. Col Dox commanding, with the
11th New York and 4th Wisconsin, forming a
brigade, under command Of Cal. Davis, Of the
1oth Illinois, accompanied Gen. Lee. Colonel
Fonda, with the 11S:h Illinois mounted ntan-
try, and Lieut.. Col. Marsh, ID Illinois cavalry,
each took separate routes for Liberty, Miss.
In the engagement at that place, which re-
suited In the utter deleat and flight Of the
rebels, The fighting was done By Col. Davis
brigade.
The action *as begun by IN attack of the
rebels in large force on detachment Of our
11bops under command Of Col. Dox, who was
soon reinforced by the advance Of Col Davis,
with his brigade. THE skill and gnllantry oi
Col. Davis, In the disposition Of his force and
his attack Of the enemy, after having dis
mounted his brigade, are spoken Of in high
terms Of commeudation. The rebels wert
handsomely driven, though under the com
mand Of Colonel Scott, Of Lonisiana, describ
I'd as an active energetic soldier, who has Civ

in this action to have been for the first time
whipped. The ID Illinois, Colonel Marsl

and, without disparagcment to other regi
ment, their conduct was such Us to he proud
