General Hooker in Chicago.

General Hooker was waited upon at
the fremont House. Chicago, on Friday
night, by Committee Of the Board Of
Trade and large number Of prominent
citizens. Col Tucker introduced the
General to the assemblsge His ap-
pearance was greeted with tremendous
applause When it had partially sub
sided, he advanced and spoke subgtan-
italy as follows:
"FELLow -CIyIzENs or CHICAGO. That
has happened to me tonight which has
not occurred TO me before during the
progress Of the war. / have been cap
tarcd | am surprised and taken Tn
I'll my arrival here, / had not the re-
motest conception that my coming was
TO be made the occasion for such 8 de-
monstration- And, gentlemen, return
you my sincere thanks for it. What
little service may have been able to
render my country on the feld-what-
ever of sacrifices I may have been call
ed upon to make, are amply repaid by
this manifestation Of your confidence
and. approval am sure you do not
expect q speech from me on this occa-
sion 1t is neither the time nor the
place for such and, above all, speaking
is not my profession.
But, gentlemen, ] cannot bid you
good night, without eongratulating you
upon the happy and favorable auspices
under which we meet May we not
trust that we stand upon the treshold
of still greater triumphs, and are rapid
ly nearing the grand consummation for
which our sacrifices have been made
and our blood been shedg Ia cOnclu-
sion, gentlemen, permit me 10 return
you my heartfelt thanks for the honor
your demonstration implies, and bid
you all a hearty God bless you. Good
night"
The General then retired, amid much
applause

The Surrender OF Dalton.

The surrender of Dalton IL no longer
matter Of conjecture. Col. johnson.
of the 18th ColOred, surrendered that
post and garrison on the 18th. Asthere
has been good deal said in reference
to Col JOhnson's conduct by officers in
this city, on lager beer, Billiard and
minstrel duty, we deem it proper to de
part from our usual custom BY discuss
ing, briefly, the terms Of the surrender
and the circumstances under which the
tO9n was turned over into the custody
Of the rebels.
Owing TO the inefiiciency Of the
Georgia home guard cavalry, the scouts
failed to notify the Colonel command
ing that an infantry force was in close
proximity 10 Dalton, and thus the Col

Rebel Letters.
Priuate Correspondence Of a Re5sl Captain.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Tines, writing from Morganza, La, Oct
|, says:
Through the kindness of Captain
Wilson, Assistant AdjulantGeneral Of
the forces, have been favored with
perusal of the correspondence captured
in the portfolio of the rebel Captain
Ratcliff
"The official letters all 90 to prove
that be has established line Of cOu-
riers from the Atchafalaya TO the Mis-
sissippi, by which letters and official
communications are carried TO the lat
ter, where, clanGestinely, in sbiifs and
dug-outs, they are transferred to the
other shore
"One offfcialletterf from Colonel Sager,
commanding rebel brigade, reviewing
results Of their operations east Of the
Atcbafalaya, is fair and full ackuowl>
edgment of their inability 60 inhict
any injury on the federal forces in this
parish, He says we have gained no
advantage by our recent operations in
Pointe Coupee. If we cannot be more
fortunate than we have been lately, it
would be 70 our advantage, as well as 10
the advantage of the citizens Of Pointe
Coupee, to withdraw from its borders
In another part Of his letter he says
1t is impossible, with the force az my
command to hold the enemy close 70
their works, and unless that can be done
it is better for the people not to exRs-
perase the enemy
= "The rebel commanders seem 70 have
agreed to this, and taken steps accord
inglY-nOt a. this Colonel AYERS, out Of
any consideration for the welfare Of the
people Of the parish, but because, with
General Lawlers strong recOnnoiteTine
parties operating against them, their
position was quite untenable The pTi
vate correspondence is interesting, from
the fact that, in a measure, it shows
what is the animUs o. the people in Re
gard TO the prospect Of a settlement Of
the war now desolating their country.
Some hearings rumor that Mcclellan
had Withdrawn from the Presidential
canvass and that Seymour had taken
his place were anxiously inquiFing If
such was the case, and whether he was
a peace man, asserting in every instance
their weariness Of the war, and praying
for peace.
"Although we have been informed
through the columns Of rebel newspa-
pers, that the fall Of Atlanta, 30 far as
affecting their military situation,
amounted to mill still their private
letters, expressing their real and honest
convictions 10 one another, prove that
il was a terrible blo8--a disaster tend
ing greatly not only 70 demoralize their
armies, but 10 augment the disadection
already existing 10 some extent among
a certain class of their people.

Vate letters Several men. living inside

S. $. C0K as Richmond. IHd.-iIe Is At
taeked and BeEten By Butcher Boys
How it Happened.


The Hon. s. S Cox was assaulted
while on his way to the railroad depot
IN Richmond, Indiana, on Saturday
evening last, BY some butcher boys from
Eaton, and badly bruised Il appears
that young man was in company with
Mr Cox who announced that ne had
been en- officer in the rebel army. This
caused a good deal Of excitement, and
il was determined to find and punish
this rebel officer While hunting for
him the boys came across Cox, whom
the ieadef denounced rs a rebel This
lead to the excitement which resulted
in Cox being knocked down and beaten.
He finally escaped into a saloon near
the depot snd some Union citizens OBJ
serving that a stranger (they did not
know Cox was in trouble, interfsred
and protected him from further injury.
To one Of these citizens Mr. Cox stated
that ne came 70 Richmond that day in
order 20 be absent from Columbus in
the evening, not Wishing 10 be present
during the Jollification meeting that
was to be held over his defeat, intend
ing 20 return on the evening train. In

with him, he said be did not know he
had been in the rebel army. He un-
derstood him 10 have a brother iIr the
Union army, and he made his acquaint-
ance through a letter of introduction
from a friend. Mr Cox left for home
on the evening train
The boys found therebel officer subse-
quently, and gave him a blow or two,
when he escaped
When the train left for Cincinnati in
the evening, there was considerable ex-
eitement about the matter. The at
tack upon Mr Cox was condemned BY
the citizens, and much regret was ex-
pressed 40 the occurrence.
Mr Cox was not there, as the In
quirer states, 20 address a Democratic
meeting We hGve given his own ex-
PLANTATION Of the affair, which shows
that bis visit had no connection with a
public meeting There is another YER
sion Of the affair, however, which, if
true. shows that MS visit wss not alto

We make the following extract from a
letter to the Chicago Journal from Pulaski
Tenn, giving an account of a forging
expedition:
At another place we called out the
