L0UIsIANA NEWS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.
The New Orleans Era contains details
of General Lees great cavalry expedition,
fully confirming the previous reports as to
its success. Colonel Fonda, 18th Illinois,
was in command of one column and pro-
ceeded to Port Hudson, thence to Jackson.
On the 10Th, ten miles from jackson he
surprised rebel camp, dispersed it and
captured ffty-three prisoners; one hundred
horses, twenty-five army wagons and
large amount of military stores. He then
moved forward and Joined the main column
under General Lee, who thus reinforced
marched upon Liberty. Another column
had been started from Baton Rouge for Lib
erty under Col. Marsh, I'd Illinois cavalry.
This column reached Liberty and sur
prised the rebel General Hodge in COM
mand there. He barely escaped capture
by jumping from back window. All the
members of his staff we're taken, including
Lieutenant Davis, a nephew Of Jetfs.
Colonel Marsh remained here until the
arrival of General Lee when two expedi-
tions were dispatched still further into the
enemy's lines. One going to Brook Haven,
under Colonel Fonda, and the other to
Summit, under Colonel Buford.
At Brook Haven train of cars loaded
with all kinds of military stores, was cap
tured and destroyed, also several buildings
containing Qusrtermssters stores. We
also captured fifty prisoners, section of
artillery and forty wagons loaded with
stores.
Colonel Buford found large quantity
of stores at Summit, and as the place was
surprised, he secured the whole and de-
stroyed it. He then returned TO Liberty
with twenty-five prisoners and some valu-
able trophies from this successful raid.
While these expeditions were absent,
General Lee was attacked at Liberty by
Col. Scott, and most vigorous fight was
Kept up for two hours, and although Lees
forces were outnumbered by SCOTS, the
rebels were finally obliged to retire The
result of the fight was the capture of
twenty-eight prisoners, one twelve-pound
howitzer, and thirty left dead on the
field. The expedition then returned to
Baton Rouge. Our loss was not over
twenty.
A fire occurred at Baton Rouge on the
22d, in building formerly used as a cot
ton mandatory but latterly as a Govern
ment stable. Over $4,000 worth of pro-
perty was burned, consisting of mules,
horses and harness.

From tho chicago rriB ssaAssss 1t.
One of the most cool, premeditatsted
and eold-blooded murders thst has recent.
ly occurred in the city eff Chicago, was per-
petrsted yesterday.
A msn named Frank Spindler, residing
on Bunker sire t, three doors from Halsted,
produced the death of his wife under the
following circumstances:
Yesterday morning while they were at
breakfast, the wife observed her husband
to 90 to the tea pot and put something in
to it. She thought nothing of it at the
time, and drank of the tea without sus-
piclon. He, however, hurried away, pre-
tending that he was in too great haste to
walt for breakfast. Soon after drinking
the tea Mrs. Spindler was taken violently
iii with great pain, vomiting and convul-
sions. During the forenoon a woman liv-
ing near by called in, during the time she
was there her little girl went to
the tea pot and drank some of the tea,
and was likewise soon taken i'll. Mrs
Spindler then surpected that she was
poisoned, and related the circumstances
to her neighbor, who Immediately took
the tes pot and the remaining tea away
when Spindler came home and ordered
her to give it to him which she refused
to do. he then attempted to take it from
her by force, but she resisted and succeed
ed in getting away with it DR.. Meal
lister was called and found the symptoms
to be those produced by mineral poison,
and on examining the contents of the Tea
pot found it to contain large quantities of
arsenic. About four o'clock in the even
ing the woman died. Spindler finding
that he had been detected attempted to
make his escape. But Superintendent
Turtle was quickly notified and officer
Miller of his detective staff, detailed to ar
rest, and he was taken about eight o'clock
in the evening The motives for the mur-
der snd the other circumstances of the case
will doubtless be developed at the Coron-
ers inquest to be held to-day.

WAsHINGToN Dec

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2
The general regulations for the purchase
of the products of the insurrectionsry
States on Government account, Just pro
mulgated, provide for the appointment Of
agents by the Secretary of the Treasury,
at the following designated markets or
places of purchase, namely, New Orleans,
Memphis, Nashville, Norfolk, Beaufort,
Port Royal and Pensacola. The price to
be paid for sny of the products purchased
shall be agreed upon between the seller
and the purchasing agent, but in no case
to exceed the market value in the city Of
New York, according to the latest quota
tions.
The following, dated Headquarters Army
of the Potomac, November 30, has Just
been received:
The utmost quiet had prevailed along
the lines for several days past, until yes
terday afternoon, when our batteries at
Fort Hill opered fire for the entertain
ment of our English visitors. At first the
enemy did not reply, bnt after a short
time they opened from several points, and
for time perfect shower of shot and
shell fell in and around Fort Hill. Un-
fortunately just at this time, some of the
troops on duty in this vicinity, we're be-
ing relieved, and several casualties oc-
CURED. Lieutenant Colonel Stafford, of
the seth New York, was wounded, and it
is said he cannot recover.
Towards dark the artillery ceased, but
the pickets kept up their exchanges all
night. Tonight they are engaged in the
same neighborhood.
Deserters continue to come into our lines
daily. They all seem heartily tired of the
war. They speak of the discomfort and
Generalization prevailing in the rebel
ranks, and express their belief in thespeedy
disruption Of the Confederacy.
Governor Bradford and a number of
prominent citizens of Maryland arrived
here to-day. They came to present the
flags of several Maryland regiments in the
st6 Corps, and the presentation is expect
ed to take place tomorrow.

FROM SOUTHERN PAPERS----SHER
MANS MOVEMENTS.
d


NEW YORK, Dec. 2.
Files of Georgia papers up to the 25th,
and Richmond papers to the 29th, are re-
ceived.
While Major General Sherman is no
doubt steadily advancing across the State
of Georgia in full accordance with the
programme which he had prepared for
himself before leaving Atlanta, if iudg-
ment was formed of his movements by the
records of these frightened Rebel newspa-
per men, we might consider his course very
erratic. His army is omnipresent, and then
again it is no where. 1t is here there and
everywhere, stretching its terrific lines
across the State, and anon it has vanished
entirely.
Richmond papers of last Tuesday say the
Rebels still occupy Macon, and that on
Saturday lsst -ShA-,laa-.- bod aPP-aaetaod
Augusta. II is clsimed for the fftieth
time, that Kilpstrick's cavalry were re-
pulsed at the Oconee River, on the 21st
ultimo.
The Augusta Chronicle says that on the
same day the Yankees left the line of the
Southern Railroad, going southwark, which
means that General Slocum was moving
his column to form 8 junction with that of
Howard.
Sherman's movements have cut Govern
or Brown off from the interior with the
eastern portion of the State, and the presi-
dent Of the State Senate, Mr.. Wright, ap-
psrently delighted, in one respect at least,
by this occurrence, has taken advantage Of
it and assumed the Ex-oficio Gubernstor-
isl control over Eastern Georgia, and
issued, from Augusta, proclamation re-
voking the Governors orders regarding
the militia
Mr.. Wright directs the militia to report
to him, not to General Smith, as Brown
had ordered
General Wade Hampton, from Virginia,
and General Bragg, from North Carolina,
are reinforcing the Georgia rebels.

STOCK QUOTATIONS.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2.
There is generally better feeling in
stock market. The impression prevails
that the long expected opportunity for a
speculative movement is at hand
Government securities maintain the spec
ulative interest, which was temporarily
checked for the past two days by the
new loan. The success of yesterdays ne
gotiations has strengthened prices.
The Railroad list is higher throughout
The demand is especially active in the
Reading Illinois Central, and Cleveland
& pittsburgh.

Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, visited
the Board to-day. His business at New
York is said to be connected with negotis-
tions for the payment, earlier than antici-
pated, of coupons of Missouri bonds, which
had been in arrear since January, 1861.
The gold market was more animated this
morning at an advance of 293 per cent.
on the closing rate of last evening. The
news from Tennessee is not construed so
favorably as yesterday. Later in the day
the advance was lost.
Many rumors are shoat concerning Sher-
