the capture Of the garrison at Petersburg,
Hardy county. How this failed, the reader
already knows.
Rosser was to try and get into Cumbcr-
land and capture or destroy all the stores
here.
Both Lee and Rosscs failed, because Early
could not get to them the promised rein
forcements, with artillery, &c. This is what
the official rebel document says in regard to
the late movements and the different plans
adopted.
We have also become possessed of very
important information in regard to the
strength and position of rebel commands
and the avowed intentions of several rebel
officers high in position.
A report is is circulation relative to the
capture of the garrison at Jonesville, west
Virginia, leaving the inference that the
commander of the Department of West
Virginia Is responsible for our loss at that
place. Such is not the fact. The command
thus captured was within the limits of Gen.
Fosters department.
The weather continues very cold here,
and the slcighing is good.
We are in daily receipt OF favorable
evidences in regard to the effect of the
| Amnesty Proclamation among the rebel sol
diers. Deserters from almost all the rebe
commands enter our lines bringing us in
| formation of sometimes the highest import
ance They take the oath of allegiance
and then, instead of becoming burden tC
the Government, are usefully employed tC
the public benefit. Every opportunity is
| afforded them to avoid the chances of cap
| ture by rebel raiders.

HORRIBLE SUFFERING OF SOLDIERS
Four hundred of the 115th 11Tth and 119th
Indiana six months's volunteers were order
ed to report at Indianapolis, their term OF
service having expired. They left Tazewell
and were marched over :he mountains
throu5h the cold, some of them without
Shoes. on their feet, and with but little
clothing. They were compelled to march
day and night, with but scanty supply OF
food. and number of chem actually died
from starvation. In one party of one hun
dred and two, twenty-four dieo before
reaching Camp Nelson; and after reaching
that place, fifty men of the same party fell
down from sheer exhaustion and died in G
few hours.
Out of the five hundred who left Tazc
well, but three hundred and fifty reached
to this place, the remaining one hundred
and fifty having died from exposure and
the want of food and proper care. One
night two men belonging to Company \ o
the 115th Indiana had become so weak from
! starvation that they fell by the wayside
and actually died crying for dread. Thest
facts were related to us by both officers anC
privates belonging to the different regiments
named above. The men who arrived her,
presented a most pitiful appearance, being
but scantily clothed, and having been al
most without food for several days.-Loujs

NEW fOhk, SHn. ~.
The steamship Columbia, Captain De B.
Barton arrived at this port yesterday after.
noon, with New Orleans dates to the Sd
inst
Information had reached New Orleans
from three or four different directions that
all the rebel troops who have been operating
IN Western Louisiana, on the banks of the
Mississippi, and, in fact, the whole force of
the enemy were gathering in Central Texas
and uniting to form one large army, to
attack our new acquisitions on the coast OF
Texas. They will number at least twenty
thousand.
The most ample preparations had beer
made to meet this rebel force as well a
possible with the number of troops in tn,
department., and it was expected that new
of great interest from Texas would soon b,
received.
The Nineteenth Army Corps still remained
at New Iberia. Nearly every regiment haC
re enlisted as veterans. The agent of tn
State of Connecticut was at New Iberia
paying every man from that State who re
enlisted three hundred dollars. The Twelftl
| Connecticut had re-enlisted en- mGsse.

From Charleston,

BosToN, Jan. 12.-The TracclItr states
that letters have been received in this city
from a northern clergyman, who established
himself in Charleston, with his family, but
IL short time before the rebellion. He gives
touching details of the anguish and suffer
and pray for redemption even ut the bands
of the Yankees. In his opinion, the time is
rapidly approaching when it will be ncccs-
sary to give up the city 60 save the people
from absolute starvation. OF course, ali

Although our finances are still in healthy
condition, it is necessary to invite the seri-
Gus attention of the Legislature to the con-
sideration OF the means of maintaining them

The Governor then refers to She matter of
paving the interest on the State debt in coin
or It's equivalent. lie thinks that as we
could not refuse Government currency in
payment Of debts due tue State as il is our
duty 10 support the Government as Euro.
pean Governments pay their interest in

the legalized suspension of specie payments,
and as to continue payment of the Interest

would be justified In paying the State inter

an this point, as follows;

perhaps greater hatred for General Butler
than any other general in our army. In the

Latc From Charleston.


The Heraids Folly Island correspondent
says Gen. Gilmore has been amusing the
enemy by throwing Greek fire into the city.
On Sunday week twenty shells thus loaded
were pitched into the city, and every one
exploded. The result was that large fire
was kindled in the southern part of the city,
which burned with considerable fury during
the balance Of the day.
Heretofore Gen. Gilmore has not been
able to throw shells containing Greek fire
into the city, as they generally exploded in
a second or two after leaving the gun, but
by recent contryance. shells have been
made to land their fearful and destructive
contents just where they are wanted by our
artillerists, but where they are most unwel-
dome to Charcstonians. The city is now
regarded at our mercy. The fleet is perfect
ly quicsccnt.
The steamer Fulton brings Charles ton
news to the 3d instant.
The siege of Charleston was yet in pro-
gress. Twenty shells were thrown into the
city on Thursday, the 9TH inst, with what
result was not known.
Late Charleston papers give us an inside
view of matters in that city. Affairs present
by no means the cheerful aspect some would
have us believe. The Charleston Hotel is
closed, and notice is given that the Mills
House will shortly follow the example The
reason assigned for thus closing two Of the
most fashionable hotels in the South is the
great destituton of provisions of all kinds
necessary to conduct the establishments in a
manner agreeable even to the unlastidiouS
taste of the guests. The congregations Of
two churches publicly invite the congrega
| ton of third to join them in religious
worship, for the reason that the editices OF
the former are subject to danger from our
shells. Nearly all the warehouses situated
in the vicinity of the piers are cmptied o.
/ goods and abandoned.
