CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 20, 1864.
The intentions of Gen. Grant in the cam
paign in progress, are being rapidly devel-
oped.
AS it is announced from Chattanooga that
Longstreet is retreating from superior forces
it cannot be harmful to say that the main
body Of the Army of the Cumberland has
been pushed into East Tennessee, with the
design of crushing the rebels in that quar-
ter
If Longstreet saves himself it will be by
the diligent employment of his legs in get
ting out Of the way.
Logan's expedition was mre feint to
draw Johnstons attention towards Rome,
and Logans corps is where it can render eff
fective service.
Precisely what is expected of Sherman's
expedition is not yet known to the public,
but we have rebel authority that he has out.
generated Polk, and spread CONSERVATION
throughout Mississippi and Alabama.
Johnston has been alarmed by the move
ments between Huntsville and Knoxville
and has been unable to reinforce Polk. He
seems to have had a notion to make diver
sion in favor Of Longstreet, but to have fall
tered i'll his plans.
Chattanooga is 50 well fortified that it can
be securely held by small force while the
main body Of the army is after Longstreet
The situation before the battle of Mission
Ridge is reversed. Then the rebel army was
between the armies of the Ohio and Cumber-
land, now our forces are between the armies
Of Longstreet and johnson, and with the rail-
road between Knoxville and Chattanooga to
facilitate their movements.
We now have in effect the interior line of
operation
We will know within few days whether
LoDgstreet has escaped, if so whether it is
likely Johnson will receive immediate atten-
ton.
The bridge at Loudon, which is the only
break in our railroad communication be-
tween Knoxville and Chattanooga, is proba-
bly, finished by this time Fifteen hundred
men have been working on it since the IS.
The rebel party that captured Gen Scam
mon was overtaken by G. w. Gallup with
400 men of the 18th and 39th Kentucky reg
iments, on the 18th inst, and surprised. The
fight did not last more than three minutes,
in which the rebels had sixteen killed and
large number wounded. Besides sixty pris-
oners, eighty stand of arms and large num-
Der Of horses, which they had stolen, were
captured, together with all their supplies of
forage, subsistence and ammunition.

CAPT McDER1IoTr's CLAiN.-Capt Hugh
Nc Dermott of Co. B, 18th Wis. Y. |. has
presented claim for services and expenses
incurred in recruiting his company, to the
Legislature. There seems to be but one
opinion as to the justice of the claim, but
there seems to be two views in regard to the
legality Or policy of paying it. The matter
came up and was disposed of in the Senate
on Friday last as follows:
CAPT. MoDERMoTT's CLAIM.
On motion of Senator VAN WICK, Cap
tain Hugh McDermott's claim was taken up
The Senator again forcibly supported it's jus
tice and right.
Senator HARRIS believed that there was
a statute adopted at the extra session of 1861
which met this case, as also others of SINH
lar character, and read section 4, chapter 5
Of the statute i'll question: as also an amend
ment to the same with the object of showing
| that Captain Nc Dermott, was at least enti-
| tied to 1925 for one months service.
Senator CHANDLER stated that the COM
mittee on claims were prepOssessed in favor OF
the justice Of the Captains claim and be-
ieved that when the people were not SO
pressed with taxes, such claims would be al
lowed. With regard to the section and
amendment just read, he was of the opinion
that they gave Captain McDermott legal
right to no more than six days pay at $125
per month.
Senator EARNEST favored the payment
fthe claim, believing that it was SOUND
one
Senator CLARK opposed it as he hat
not yet heard any valid reasons for its pay
ment.
Senator LITTLEJOHN was of the opin
ion that the claims ofsoldiers who had serv
ed the State should be paid as well as off
GERS, and until the State could do this on prin
ciples of equity, heshould have to oppose sucF
claims as the present.
Senator MCDILL reminded Senators whf
protested to be bound against the claim by
/ questions of its legality that they had actet
affirmatively on claims having only princi
plies Of equity to recommend them.
Senator THOMAS referred to the statute
amendment already quoted, and held tina
there was no doubt that they legalized sucE
claims.
After Senator CHANDLER had justified
the consistency of the committee on Claims
in making their reports, the claim was dis
allowed, by IA noes to 10 ayes
Adjourned till 7:30 PM, Monday

could manufacture cheaper than they can in
New England, and another saving would
thus be made.
Ofcourse the great western staples-wheat
and corn would still be in excess of consump-
ton, and we should still have to export to
foreign nations, about the same that we do
now
We think we have followed this subject
far enough to satisfy anybody that what the
west needs more than anything else,t to turn
its waving fields into ''solid gold" is the es-
Enlistment of manufactures within her
own borders-a large manufacturing pop
ulation to consume the products Of her far
mers and furnish in return, the materials to
wcar-the things to work with and to eat
with and to play with. Of course manufac-
lures. are of slower growth, than almost any
other branch of industry. And they are es-
pecially Of slower growth at the west be-
cause Of the peculiar character of our PEG
pie. There are very few men of capital ii
the west who are willing to invest their
money in any thing so SLOW as wooden o.
cotton manufacture. Although the return
may be '16 per cent. in currency" western
capitalists are not satisfied with any sucl
return. There are few manufacturing es
Establishments among as, but they have beer
for most part inaugurated by persons will
little Or no capital, and their profits are eat
en- up by high interest. Western men o
capital are are almost invariably spectators
bankers, money brokers, &c ii species o
gamblers to whom slow though sure ant
steady stream of wealth flowing from lie
gitimate business has no attractions. TIL
consideration that such business woul'
benefit and bless hundreds if not thousand
Of others, enters not into the calculations q
lsuch capitalists.
Can the editor of the Milwaukee NeuS, an
other demagogues who delight to snarl an
sneer at New England and her prosperity
see any thing in these remarks that will &C
count for the anomaly complained OF, a
well as the theory that seI6shness and ia
naticism at Washington are the causes Of al
Iour wo? Of course not.

A CoPPERHRAD LIE NAILED.-lt will be
recollected that soon after the fall elections
the copperhead papers everywhere claimed
that the great Union Victory in Maryland
and other border States was only brought
about by the most outrageous and despotic
interference of the military. The matter has
been investigated by a congressional com
mittee. Washington dispatches have the
following:
Senator Towards report on the alleged
military interference with elections in Mary
land, Delaware, kentucky and Missouri, eff
fectualIy silences the copperhead clamor i'll
that behalf, showing not only that every 10y
al man was afforded an opportunity to vote
in those States, but that hundreds of secess-
ionists participated in the election without
interference Or intimidation, and in many in
stances elected candidates of their own per-
suason.
The report gives an elaborate history Of the
subject, presenting all military orders, and
State and Federal laws bearing upon the
same.
