The Ncuh.
The dippnlehes received Inst night nrc
intensely inlcroatinf? to every loyiil Atneri
r:nn. As confidently expected, the Prai
dent did, on t lie first ol Jnnunry, issue his
Kmnneipntion lroctntn:it!on. The net is
done the decree has gone forth. The first
of Jnniiiiry, 18(53, for wenl or for woe, lins
been made the mn.st eventful day In Amer
ican history. The news of the prominent
event of this day will thrill the world. The
Intelligence will 1m jeeeived everywhere
with hushed and bated breath. Heaven
grant llmt the good contemplated niny be
realized I
A prent battle Imp been fought at or
near Murfrcrsboro, 'IVnn. The final result
U not fully known. On the 2filh nit. the
Federal lorres moved from Nashville, in
threo columns, towards the rebel strong
hold. McCook had command of the right,
Crittenden of the left, nnd Thomas of the
enter. Ditrinir the day, there was some
artillery skirmishing, tho enemy giving
back. At dark, the Federal troops occu
pied Nnlimville, which place, as wc under
stand it, is seventeen miles from Nufhville,
nnd ten miles from Murfrccshoro. On the
1:7th, the Federals drove the enemy all day,
carrying I he bridges over Stewart's Creek,
on Jiflirsnn and Murfriesboro turnpike, in
gallant style. Tho army rested on tho
night of the 27th twenly miles from Nash
ville. Tlio 28th was Sunday, nnd both ar
mies rested. On the 29lh the Federal urmy
was in motion, but no fighting occurred
save artillery skirmishing. On tho .'10th,
there was heavy tikir midline, but the rebels
were driven back. The Federals captured
100 prisoners, und the rebel loss is report
ed heavy. Ours was seventy-five killed
nnd wounded. On the Hist there was
heavy lighting. Our right gave back.
The rebel cavalry captured a number of
McOookVummiinitloii wagons. Thoabove
item is mere report. Another report is
that ho occupied ut night the position oc
cupied in the morning. Up to two o'clock
tho rebel forces wero masked on our right
nnd center. At one time our center began
to give way, but Rosecrnn'a veteran 'divis
ion was thrown into the breach and turned
the tide of battle. Tim fight then shifted
from tho right nnd center to tho left, and
the fighting was terrific. The day closed
by the rebels holding the ground occupied
by us in tho morning. The day's work
was in their favor. January 1st was a
duy of fearful fighting the result was de
cidedly in our favor. The fight was no
doubt renewed on the 2d, but we have no
uccount of the result.
The tidings from Vicksbnrg nrc cheer
ing. Fighting commenced on tho 24lh,
und had continued for five days Federals
nlowly but surely gaining. All the rebel
entrenchments had been carried but one
We had captured 10 guns nnd 700 priso
ners. Vicksbnrg Is surely ours.
Tho Monitor Is said to hnvo foundered
at sea. Tho clipper ship Noonday, hav

graph, has been wreeked, eight miles from
Farrnllone, nnd sunk in forty fathoms of
water. The steamer Activo hns gone to
the spot where the Noonday sunk with the
intention of grappling to find her, nnd at

wire will probably be saved.

Major-General Porter.
Wd condense the following statement
from a long;, article in tub- Sacramento
Union' of Jan. 3dil
There nrfc'twot charges 6f a serious nnv
turcprWertttl ngaln&Vthis General1 by 'II.
S. Roberts, Rritrndier General of U. S.
Voluntreis, nnd Inspector General of Mnj.
General Pope's army. The first charge is
for n disobedience of orders, or u violation
of the ninth article of war. There are five
specifications innilo under this chnrge. Un
der these specifications, five different orders
sent to him by Major General Pope nre
fully set forth, every one of which it is al
leged ho disobeyed. These orders were
sent him while Pope's forces were contend
ing with the enemy, unci while his situntion
was a erilical one, nnd needed the hnrtnnni.
ous co-operation of all the divisions and
corps.
Tho second charge is for disobedience of
orders, in neglecting and refusing to attack
the enemy when ordered, or n violation of
fifty-second article of war. There ure four
specification under this charge.
If theso charges nrc true, Gen. Porter is
either an Imbecile or a traitor. The evi
dence, so far as it has been published, is
damaging to the patriotism nnd loyally of
the Major General. The following is n
summary of Lieut. Col. Smith's testimony,
ns civen hv the Union. This witness was
on Pope's stair, and curried his orders to
the rcscusant General :
He related the conversation with Gen.
Poiter on the afternoon before Friday'n
battlu ut Hull Run. From Porter h ex
pression, and from his tone, and look, und
manners, he became convinced that it was
liw purpose to fail to ca operate with Gen.
Pope. On seeing Pope that night he told
him tlint. ho win certain Porter was u trai
tor, and would rail him. flu further testi
fiul to his belief that hud Porter attacked
the enemy'1 right Hank, as ordeitd, the ef
fect would have become u rout.
In the erns-exnminiition, Col. Smith wo
indeed to give his reason for this belief.
Ilis reasons were that the enemy, consisting
of several divNions of I tie rebel army, be
came detached from the main force, which
was beyond and toward Thornui-hlnroGiip.
Every iinpcurancc during the day indicoled
that nearly all the force they had on ihe
field was in our fiont ; that about the time
Porter should hnvc made his attack, the
enemy had become so exhausted as ttr be
obliged to irivo back ; thut an attack on
his right flunk at that time musl have over
powered him, und by cutting his line of ro
Kent, and holding him up to thu northeast
region, Hull Run must have caused his
rout. IJeing asked whether he knew the
the ground on the enemy's right was ap
proachable for Porter Jo make smell an at
tack, Col. Smith replied that he believed it
to he from the general chniacter ol the
country there, nnd because on Sat in day the
enemy moved over this ground to attack
our left.
If such ho the true state of the case, it
is no wonder that Pope was defeated in
the memorable struggle ut Hull Run. No
wonder that ho was compelled to seek
protection behind the entrenchments about
Warrington. Nnpofcon himself would
have failed under such circumstances.
Tiih Aiimy. We collate the following
interesting facts from tho Report of the
Secretary of War : On the 29th of No
vember, thero were 775,1130 men in the ar
my of the United States. When tho quo
tas nre full, there will bo 1.000,000. Under
tho culls of July and August there arc
120,000 new troops in the field, of which
399.000 nre volunteers, nnd of them 832,
000 have volunteered for Ihrco yours, or
the war ; 49.990 iccruitB have been added
to the old regiments. The expense for en
rollment, recruiting nnd subsisting volun
teers, regnlars nnd militia, was S20.692.283.
All of tho troops have been paid to June
30th many to August 30th ; the nmount
niiid to till classes, S9G.G0C.G47. Since
June 30th, in nddition to the ubove, S38,
f)97.819 havo been paid them.
There are 151 hospitnls, nnd .r)8,l7.r pa
tients in them. Thero ure under tieatment
about 90.000 soldiers. The expense of
the Surgical Department during the year
has been $2,44f,894, exclusive of the Sani
tary Fund. There ure ten orgunized mili
tary departments.
The Secretary given a cheering account
of tho results of tlio Inst year, and holds
that, notwithstanding tho occasional de
feats of the Union forces nt different points,
that tnoro territory has been conquered or
redeemed, by the Union nrmy, than was
ever witnessed upon so largo a theater, in
tho same brief period, against so formida
ble an enemy.
The Secretary asserts positively that the
contrnbaeds have been of groat service to
the Union army. They have not been an
expense over and above the value of their
services to the Government. Ho recom
mends thnt'th6yrbe used 'in fatigue duty
and in every jollier service where-they ''can
relieve UniorvBnlrilera.
The Report 'is loiic, but fulf r f pregnant
suggestions nnd interesting mutter.-
Anotiikk Inrank Pkimo.v. " Hutch
Henry," aim Henry Hleecher, the person
who shot Mr. Reee, on Hulto Creek, n
short time since, is in custody, awaiting the
completion of the arrangements to send
him to the Insane Asylum at Portland.
He is hopelessly Insane, nnd the mifnrtui
nnte nfl'ulr on Dutto Creek shows him to be
n dnngerom person. If we understand the
facts aright, he was sent, not long since,
from Lowiftton to Portland, ns nn Insane
person ; wns examined by two physicians
and put into jiil there. He set the jail on
firp, and was, by some fwciti poem, sulfered
to escape. He enmo to this county, wan
dered about, in the mountains nwhile, amu
sing himself by driving stock hither and
thither, nnd now. nflcr having dungeronsly
wounded one of our citizens, is to be sent
back to Portland, with u consequent ex
pense to this county of over three hundred
dollars. Such nrc the bnnilicent operation
of our Iniinc Law ! Why was he not
kept at Portland whiVi there? Hid the
examining physicians pronounce him sane ?
or was he sufieied to go at large simply be
cause, by firing the j.ill, he showed himself
to be n dangerous man ? Are none but the
quiet nnd harmless to bo kept In the State
establishment ?
