NEWS SUMMARY Morning Report. The powers delegated to Gen. Butler have even a wider ecope than heretofore announced. He is given the sole control of all the rebel prisoners in our hands, about 38,000, and they will be at once transferred to his Department, and measures will be taken to bring the rebel authorities to terms. Maj. Gen. Bariside left Washington yesterday to resume command of the Department of the Ohio at Knoxville The news from North Carolina gives an encouraging account of the operations of the policy of renting out abandoned plantations A bill is now before Congress to bring ail quartermasters, commissaries, paymasters, fce., before an examining board, to test their fitness for their positions We have promise of some excitement in the Army of the Potomac within the next three or four months. Its coming will be awaited with peculiar interest Early's great raid down the Shennandoah Valley) threatened for some time past, has fizzled. Gens. Bullivan and Averill were mot to be caught napping, and Early has postponed his operations In the frightful railroad accident which occurred near Dayton, on Tuesday, two persons were killed and 32 wounded .The receipts from the great Fair at Cincinnati is re" ported tt $200,000... ...The weather in the vicinity of Chattanooga is extremely cold, and some suffering is experienced by our soldiers Gov. Bramlette has issBed a proclamation, ordering the arrest of at least four rebel sympathizers for eTery Union man who may be carried off by guerrillas in Kentucky. This is a move in the right direction. Noon Report. Some twenty-five propositions have been submitted in Congress for the amendment of the Conscript act. The one before the Military Committee retaining the $300 clause,has the approval of the Provosb-Marshal General. The report that Rosecrans takes command of the Department of Missouri isagain contradicted. Gen. Meade has returned to the Army of the Potomac He will not, probably, be superseded A joint resolution has been introduced in Congress extending the payment of the large bounty to veteran volunteers, until the first of February Night Report. Kirby Smith and his subordinates are, it is said, planning an attack on Little Rock, hoping to be able to surprise the garrison there before they ean be reinforced. They tried that game at Helena and Pine Bluff, and failed Several veteran regiments are at Cairo route home, having re-enlisted The bodies of five soldiers of the 52d Indiana, who froze to death near Fort Pillew, have reached Cairo There is an intimation that the Ohio is closed above Southland. If this is so it will doubtless be closed here by this morning, or by noon. Ceu Gorman's Regiment. A private note from CoL Gorman, dated Vincennes January 5th. informs us that he had in eamp on that morning 750 men infant- ' ry and cavalry. There were five com-1 panies of infantry and three of cavalry represented. The Colonel thinks if he nu veu aaye more time, he could sueeeed m completing the organization of ' tne Kegiment. We are confident he conld. He has been so snccesgful thus tax, that there could be no doubt of his filling his Regiment to the maximum, if a little more time was granted him. We hope the Governor will devise some plan by which volunteering will be encouraged until the draft ia enforced.

fcliip Canals.

Ti KAvn i Ia n io nA.i ( i Ah rn 1 1 O ! part of some of the members oi Con gress to plunge the Government into a wild and reckless system of internal improvements. That the Illinois Canal and the Erie Canal enlargement should be forced upon the attention of Congress with such pertinacity, at this particular time, is satisfactory evidence to us that their originators realize that they can by no possibility succeed in their plots except at times when the attention of the people is absorbed by greater question and will not scrutinize schemes for public plunder with sufficient care to defect the rascality lying at their foundation. Why this indecent haste to saddle two such gigantic works as those contemplated upon a government already burdened with the weight of an enormous and constantly increasing public debt? Why not postpono the enterprise until it is definitely ascertained that we will occupy and possess a Mississippi River to con nect with the great lakes? What peculiar claims have Illinois and New York upon the Government, that the whole people should be taxed for their, special benefit? If it be necessary to link the Missisgippi to Lake Michigan by a ship canal mrouga Illinois; 11 11 is aDsoiuieiy essential, in a military point of view, to join New York to Lake Erie in a similar manner, why is it not equally important that tha Ohio river should be connected with the lakes by a ship canal through Indiana? We have a Wabash & Erie Canal that might b(- enlarged with profit to our city and the whole State, and wo insist, if the Government is to star' off in a mad chase after unprofitable and insane public improvements, that our SenatDra and Representatives in Congress see to it, that Indiana secures her share of the money spent and work doneSo far as military operations are concerned, or any benefit the Government will derive, there is no mora propriety in pledging its credit for the construction of the contemplated improvements, than ia enlarging the Wabash & Erie Canal from Evansville to Toledo. Scarcely an argument can be urged in their favor that will not apply equally well in favor of re-digging our little ditch. When we saw Mr. Washburne of Illinois announced as Chairman of the House Committee on Commerce, we were fearful that the great canal job would be pushed with an energy that would be difficult to defeat. Mr. Washburne lives in Northern Illinois. He is a man of immense wealth, which would be greatly increased by the construction of the contemplated work. He is, too, a man of untiring energy, and of great personal and family influence. His advocacy of the proposed appropriations by Congress, does not absolutely insure their passage, But greatly adds to the probability that they, will pass. "Logrolling" is an expressive term in the West. Our pioneer farmers understand the phrase well, and when we tell them that it is designed to secure the passage of the great Illinois and Now York schemes by " Legislative log rolling,'' they will fully comprehend the magnitude of the work required to defeat them. The Democrats in the House of Representatives constitute but a faction,Yet they are capable of doing immense harm to the Union party and the Government by their votes. ' They will sustain every measure, no matter what may be its character, if by so doing they can see an opportunity of bringing the Administration into disfavor with the people. They will vote for every swindle, and then saddle them upon the Unionists, on the well 'established principle that the party in power '8 responsible for the legislation. Hence, we look for all of these members to vote for the canal projects. They know the measures will be unpopular with the people, and for that reason they will sustain them, because the Union party will be held responsible for them. With the vote of the Democrats in their favor, added to the votes of the Representatives from New York and Illinois, the canal projectors have an excellent foundation on which to build a sir perstructare composed of members whose votes can be had for a consideration, and others who will do almost anything to oblige a friend. We say there is danger ahead. " There is death in the pot" It is proper that the Press of the country should e prompt to unmask and condemn this gigantic job. Let mem bers of Congress understand, that if they vote for the projects.they had better move at once into the States deriving the benefit of their votes. Our Government has no business sticking any more irons in the fire than are already there. Cato closed every one of his orations in fiery denunciation of Carthage Carthago Delendm est. So every bill brought before Congress, every speech made, and every vote given, should terminate with the equally emphatic declaration the "Rebellion must be put down." Let us be a nation of one idea until that great work is accomplished. On our first page we copy a mag nificent article from the Philadelphia Press. No one can read it without feeling the justice of the criticism upon Wendel Phillips, as well as the panegyric upon Mr. Lincoln. No Chief Magistrate was ever called upon to shoulder such responsibilities nor ever bore his burdens more patiently. Cautiously, yet firmly, has he pursued the even tenor of his way, unawed by the clamor of foes, and unmoved by the importunities of impatient friends. Providence seems to ave cn08en mm ,or 1116 trvinS position and endowed him Wlth an honest simplici ty that has won the hearts of the people. Report says that Gen. Grant is ambitions only tor the highest military honors. His acts show that his ambition is not simply to secure hut to merit thpm The papers call him the "coming man." A contemporary wants the people of the rebel Confederacy too look upon him as the coming man. A Philadelphia print nulla tVio shells which were sent singing into Charleston last Friday week, " Gillmore's Christmas Carols."

raeii. iui we suppose a lew woras lroui Company F, of the 2Uh, may be interestng to some of your readers, as we claim the section of country you live in to be our home, and we have friends there that think a good deal of us, we judge, from the treatment we received there last summer. Well, since we have been in this Department, we have seen some of the ups and downs of soldier life. In our first experiences in this Department at Carrollton near New Orleans, we had a fine time, and the boys enjoyed themselves amazingly, for everything in the eating line could be bought cheap for cash; but we soon got orders to leave there and go to Brashear City, where we made oranges and sweet potatoes suffer to somo extent. It is a very poor country around Breashear Cily, composed mostly ot bayous and swamps, and we were very glad to get orders to cros3 the bay to the west side and prepare for a march, it was said, to Tt.xas, and was called by the New Orleans papers the grand Texas overland expedition, which, I am sorry to acknowledge, has turned out a fizzle. We got orders and started on our march on the 3d of October, and kept on from day to dav, until we got to Vermillion Bayou. Here we went into camp, and the 1 9th Army Corps went ahead and ran afoul of soij.' Rebs at Carrion Crow Bayou. TKey made quite a noise with their big "guns," and routed the Rebs. We got orders (1st Brig., 3d Div.) to march to the front to the assistance of the 19th "boys." We marched all the on?, weary night; awful tired and foot-sore, we wished a good many times during the night we were back in Evansville. We caught up with the 19th boys in the morning, and went into camp in the front. Before we had got our small shebangs up, we wwe called into Hue by a forage party coaling, running pell mell towards camp. We waited very patiently in line of battle for the rebels to come, but they only made a dash on our pickets, and retired. We stopped in camp on CarionCrow Prairie a few days, end got orders to go forward to Opelousas. We advanced about four miles and found the rebels in force. We formed line of battle; our Regiment on the right; 11th Indiana in the center, and the 46th Indiana on the left; we put out a line of skirmishers in front, and advanced to meet the rebs. The skirmishing became very heavy at one time, and a very heavy force of rebs were in line in our front, when a section of Nimm's battery was ordered to the front. They came up and gave them a dose or two of their pills, which caused the rebs to skedaddle. We advanced and look possession of the town of Opelousas, and went from there to Parrc's Landing on the Bayou Latalfa, and went into camp for a few crayg, when we received orders to return to Opelousas. We stopped at Opelousas a few days and went back to Carrion Crow Prairie, and went into camp there with one Brigade of Gen. Burbridge's Division camped about four miles in our rear, as a rear guard. While in camp there on the 3d of November, our rear guard was attacked by a heavy force of rebs, and was badly cut up, before we could get to their assistance. As soon as it vras known in our camp that our rear guard was attacked, we fell into line, and went across the Prairie to their assistance. We arrived at the scene of action just in time to save the wagon train belonging to the rear guard. It was a scene that won't be very soon forgotten. Men running, drivers slashing, and mules snorting, all doing their best to get out of the way of the rebs, while in the rear of the train just emerging from the woods, was a line of rebel cavalry coming on a full charge. We were going at a double quick, in line of battle, to meet the foe. As soon as the rebs ot out on the prairie and saw ns in line of buttle advancing to meet them, they bfgau to hesitate about taking in the frain. The 46th Indiana got orders to give them a volley, which soon turned the attention of the rebs to the rear; but they captured a (rood many of the 60th and 67th Indiana Regimeuts. We were very much surprised, on going over the battle field, to find a good many guns laying on the field with the loads in them and capped already to fire. The owners had already surrendered without firing a gun. We were sorry to see Indiana boys guilty of such a trick. We were much surprised to see your correspondent of the 60th putting purs to an old bald-faced sorrel, doing his best to get in the rear of our Brigade, and when the fight was over, we were amused to see with what determination said correspondent rode back to his camp, to see the ruin the rebs had made. Next day we received orders to fall back on Vermillionville; stopped there a few days, and camo back to this place where we have put up winter quarters, with the calculation of stopping a few days. The lstand2d Divisions have gone to Texas. The 4th ha3 gone to New Orleans, and we nre tho only Division of the J3th Corps left here. We started a recruiting party from here the other day. Charley Urie is recruiting Sergeant for our Company. Please give Charley a warm oblige reception and a good wurd, and Yc JOBSXY. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. BRTJG5, &c.

The eye t ing the raost delicate organ, and of the m"f t vita! importance to the h -ppiaeas and pro;erity et man, should never be tamperel with, sjthisf by the individual or by those who, for mere profit, take upon themselves the selling of Optical Instruments, and who know nothing of the anatomy of the eye, or hew to discover the proper glttcs to suit the peculiarity ot the iMfcrent sights ef those needing spectacles. Ihonsands buve lost their vision entirely from not applying to those only qualified to know the different defects in each individual's sight aud how to remedy it by wearing the proper kind of spectacles. I. Httanbergi having ha 1 over twenty-five years experience as u regular practical optician, can assure those giving him th-ir patronage that by applying to him they cast gut the very right kind of glasses adapted to their esse, and in almeet every one secure good eye sight to old age. Ne-.r sighted persons can also obtain of him las latest improvement in spectacles snite.1 to them, being a new invention. 1 have also the most recently new Field Glass ,s, with Astromical eye pieces, beiug very suparior to the old opera glass arrangement. All kinds ot Optical Instruments repaired at the shortest notice, and those having purchased spectacles of me, aud having bad the misfortune to break one of tae lenses, can have it replaced gratuitously by applying to L RITTENBERG, 67 Main Street, Bet.
