    "other not liable" to miliary doty, a may lie
done where this system of raiting troops ii trull
'estnhliahed.
The proportions above (,'lvcn are nasp! npon
'the report! op to tlii time from the 7!1 Con
gressional dietriotl v. hero the draft ha been
completed, or hat moat nearly approached com
pletion. Since the pre tent rebellion began, about
200.000 soldiers, after entering service, have
been disohnrged on eorgron's certifloale of dis
ability. It ii probable that at leatt one-half of
theni were aunt for lervieo when received. It
may safely be said that at least 110.000,-
000 wm naelcMly expended in bringing them
' into the field, to say nothing of their subsequent
expense to the government.
In great Uritain, nndor the system of volun
tary enlistments, the rejeotioni average over 27
percent In France, from 1831 to 1842, the
number of exemption! annually waa 94.800 j
to that, to seoore the contingent of 80.000 men,
' 174.600 conscripts were annually examined.
Of the recruit who presented tlienierlves for
enliitment In nor regular army in 1835, 70 per
cent, were rejected for physical infirniitii's, ex
Clnetve of age or stature. Uetween the 1st of
January and lit of July last, more than one
balf were r jeoted. These were men who de
tired to he aooepted. These proportions are of
Interest in connection Willi the fact that lesa
than one-third of the drafted men who deiire
not to he accepted, haro beeo exempted on ao
Oonntof physical on III nei.
,,. There have been but few cases of inoompe
tenoy, fraud, neglect or alinso, iu the examina
tion of drafted men. These men have, how
ever, iu many ways been swindled by rogues
having no connection with the Board) nl en
rollment, as for example, the faot that certain
drafted men were physically unlit for service,
hss beoome known to thene sharpers, when it
was, perhaps.nnt known to the men themselves,
and they have ao far Imputed upon the credul
ity of the drafted men a to get from tliein
umi of money, to teoure an exemption to
which the rognos knew they were entitled and
would an rely reoeive.and the drafted men finding
thenieelvee exempted aa promised have some
times thought and given out that they secured
exemption by bribery of drafting officers,
wherein, they were legally entitled lo exemp
tion, and have tbemaelvea be n swindled by
harpers.
All has been done that teemed proper nnder
existing laws to check these evils, and to meet
properly the few oases of criminality and In
competency which have occurred among the
the officers of this Bureau.
All the expenaes up to this time on account
of this Burean, Including the enrollment, draft
nd pay of nSicera and perron connected with
it, are lot little over $1,200,000. These ex
' pendituret include all made on account of the
1 machinery which hat produced the arrest and
' return of 30.000 deserten.
The amount of money received from the
draft op to thit date it about ten times nt great
at all the expenses incurred on noonnnt of the
enrollment act thnse reaulting from the New
York riots are not, however, included in this
statement, as they are more properly ntlriho
tahle to other onuses and other persons than
to the, draft, nr the offioers of this Bureau.

The progren of Ihe war ha been renewed.
The early dispatches of hut week brought in
telligence of a complete victory for the Union
arms in the neighborhood of Chattanooga.
The later one are full of confirmation. On
the 23d the force nnder Gen. Grant' coin-
maud began to more nu the eueiny' work on
the northern dope and summit of Lookout
Mountain and Missiorinry Kidge. The battle
lasted with (light intermissions till the evening
of the 20th, resulting in the rout of the rebel
forces. Bragg retreated along the line nf the
Atlantic and Memphis ruilroad to Daltcn, mak
ing two or three attempts to make a stand on
the wny. Each effort of this kind seemed
more futile than the preceding one, and he
waa actually crushed along. The movement
upon the rifle pita and advance worka nf the
enemy was a series of Ihe most brilliant no
tions of the war. At one time an order was
given lo charge the pits upon tho slope of Mis
sionary Kidge. The men went at it with so
much enthusiasm that, the pits being carried
the whole mass, as by 0110 inspiration, without
any onmniuud, rushed on up the precipitous
crest of Ihe hill, diivlng the rebels pell-mell
from Iheir worksTiud dowu the opposite slope.
The officers were fairly swept along by the
irresistible masses. This particular force was
under Generals Wood and Sheridan iu Hook
er's corps. The whole army seems to have
been animated by the same spirit. Thu num
ber of prisoners captured is not lest than 6,'HX).
A largo number of guns and stands of small
nrini were captured, liragg's urmy, in the
hurry of flight, tthaiidunedayverythiug cnlculnt
ed to Impede its haste. Our loss's nre small.
Hiavy columns are in pursuit, and doubtless,
ore this, Ihe enemy haa been forced to accept
another butllo or continue hia retreat. Hook
er and Thomas are in command of the nd
vauoe pursuit. Bragg probnhly falls buck to
Daltuu with the view of joining Longetreet's
forces, now near Knoxville, with his own. If
he should be immediately pushed beyond Dal
ton, this will be Impossible, as the menus of
communication would then be broken. The
results of this battle must be incalculably dam
aging to tho Confederate ennse.
The Army of the Potomno began a move
ment on the Z5lh, with the design of crossing
the Hapidnn to offer battle to Lee. The move
ment was nindo in three coin 1 ns, to cross at
at many different place. A battle had doubt
less lettuu. as heavy cannonading had been
heard, Some successful skirmishing I report
ed. The design of Meade seems to be to gain
,ueuavWlt of the Virginia Control llnilrunj,
which will place him in possession of Freder
icksburg a a better and shutter base of com
munication. Lee must then fight, or retreat
by s circuitous route toward lticliiuoud. Th
tiring heard in the diieclioii of Beultou Station
seemed tu be receding, indicating Leo' retire
111. nt.
The latest news from Charleston la through
reliel sources. It is, substantially, that heavy
and very accurate firing upon the rebel fort
anil batlerie continues. Eighteen more Greek
lire shells had been thrown into Charleston, but
without serious result.
Gold closed dull at 141. Nov. 27th, at New

If the rebels do not find Ibe last week's dis

will lie before they get peace. If they have
got 2(10,000 soldiers, and bold a dozeu impor
tant, vital points, let them subtract from that
aggregate, the sum of all thu demoralization.
the discouragement, and disinters flowing out
of their late defeats, then divide the remainder
by the aggregate result of the battle of Look
out Mountain, and they will begin to "see it."
As they lost and wasted there, so they must
lose and waste and perish in the future pro-
gresiuf the war. This is the inexorable march
of fate, treading onward step by St. p, and, If
only luch by inch, just as surely as lime floats
into eternity. Let Ihe rebels calculate th
lime which may transpire before the last step
shall bring the heel of Justice down npon the
Inst writhing atom of Ihe Confederacy, and de
termine if the eoutest it to be profitably pro
longed.
XT The secessionists of thit State are tak
ing immense trouble to reorganize the demo
cratic party." If it will do them any good, let
theni reorganize till the archangel blows hit
trump it won't make them any more nntner-

Bragg's retreat from bi position lost it rep
resented as a perfect rout. Shormsn reached
Chickumangn station at 4 o'clock this morning
and captured 500 prisoners, four guns and a
number of pontoons. The enemy attempted
tn burn the 1riilgu behind him and partially
succeeded. He burned tho depot ami all the
stores at Chickamauga. Sherman crossed
Cliickamauga In Ihe forenoon. Hooker was
reported nt Ringgold this afternoon. Deserters
and prisoners are rapidly thinning the rebel
army. Thu number of guns captured thus far
reported is 52, Including thn celebrated Loom!
battery which was captured at Chickamauga.
Sherman's loss wa much lest than wasnre
viously reported, and will not exceed 500.
Nearly six thousand prisoners have been re
ported. Major Wilson, chief of staff, boa been
brought in. Breckinridge himself narrowly
escaped. A strong column is in pursuit of tho
enemy, and it ia not improbable that another
disastrous defeat will be forced npon him.

they were met by Sheriff Sancbei and under
Sheriff King, who expostulated with the orowd
and used every exertion iu his power to pre
serve the peace t f the city but tn nn effect.
The cititcna overpowered them without injury
and took poaseseinu of the jail. After two
hours labor with sledge hammers, rams, axes,
fee., they effected an entrauoe, when the fol
lowing named cutthroats were brought out aud
banged under the corridor in front of ths tail ;
Jose Olnss (Spanish) tried and acquitted for
