A small body of onr forces have met with & misfortune in Virginia. Three hundred men, after a gallant fight, were overpowered and captured at Jonesville, a small town about twenty or tenty-five miles northeast of Tazewell From Washington 6 have a few unimportant items the capture of a blockade runner ; the names of the gentlemen composing the Senate Finance Committee ; a proposed amendment to the Confiscation law; the effect of tha President's Proclamation upon the Norfolk rebels ; gossip about General Burnside and Halleck ; the action of the House Committee on Ways and Means, and aj statement of our losses at Chancellorville From Chattanooga we learn that Wheeler pitched into a Federal train and captured it, but before he could reap the benefit of his " dash," he was pitched into by two regiments of Ohio and Missouri troops, and compelled to disgorge his ill-gotten gains with a loss of two hundred prisoners A Maryland company has been disposed of by the rebels new Rectortown, Virginia. Nibht Report. The Congressional proceedings yesterday were quito interesting and important. A proposition to beg for peace from the rebels, was tabled by nearly a two-thirds vote. Several important amendments to the Conscription Act were adopted. The $300 clause will be considered in the Senate today. The House has adjourned over until Monday An important case, involving the site of a city in California, has been decided in the General Land Office, adversely to the claimant and in favor of the inhabitants of the city Hon. Caleb B. Smith, Judge of the United. StatesDistrict Court for Indiana, died at Indianapolis last evening Arch Bishop Hughes was buried yesterday with imposing and solemn ceremonies The quota of Indianapolis is reported full, through the instrumentality i the negroes driven from the borders. Bully for the Capital. Got. Morton's Eligibility. We copy from the Indianapolis Journal, on onr first page, an article relative to Gov. Morton's eligibility to a second term as Governor of the State. In some way, we know not how, our friends at the Capital credit us with having originated the idea of his ineligibility. We have said nothing in regard to the matter heretofore, nor should we now, had not the Indianapolis Journal " broken tha iee" with the article we have eopied in fall, For our part we have never entertained any doubt3 as to Gov. Morton's eligibility. There can be no possible reason assigned, so far as we can see, why he is not in every particular " legally qualified to be chosen." Grating that the Constitution meant, what it does not soy, that no man shall act as Governor " more than four years in any period of ight years," Gov. Morton is still eligible, for he will not have filled the position of Gevernor, at the time of his election and inauguration, the "four years" con templated by the Constitution. But if we really believed, which ice do not, that the Governor, in case he is elected, could not hold the office for a period longer than eight or nine days after his inauguration the time the dutiee of Governor were discharged by Hon. Henry S. Lane he would still be our first choice as the Union candidate for that position, in the ensuing canvass. His nomination is tho only way in which the people can have the opportunity of approving or condemning his administration of the Gubernatorial office. We want the issue placed before them in a distinct and unequivocal manner; and in no way can it be so well done as by presenting the Governor himself for their suffrages. No resolutions of a State Convention, however positively they might indorse his administration, would answer the purpose. We prefer U have the Governor himself go before the people, and say to them, " Hero I am ; sueh

has been my policy. If you approve, elect me: if not, east your, votes for another. ' Gov. Morton has gained an enviable notoriety all over the Union for the en-

eil in wlCK'.iRjr me uiwta suns mnicum power of his Stato in defense of the Government. It is for the people of Indiana to say whether his reputation shall become the property of their State. It can only become so by nominating him for Governor and electing him by an overwhelming majority. It is for the people to say whether the Governor as Henry Ward Beecher eloquently said of the General Government has been carried upon the wave of popular senti ment a3 the ocean caariea a ship of war; or whether he has immortalized our State in spite of tho inherent meanness of its citizens. Gov. Morton has been compelled to assume fearful responsi bilities, by reason of tho contemptible demagoguery of political strictsters. These responsibilities should bo lifted from his shoulders by the action of a large majority of the people of tliis State, and in no way can they extend the helping hand so easily and emphatically as by casting a ballot for him for their next Governor. Such an act is equivalent to saying " well done thou good and faithful servant," while it will also servo as a lasting rebuke to the time-servers who hae been dogging his footsteps for the past four.years, and doing all they could to thwart his plans and disgrace the State. Feeling thus as to h"i3 merits, and having no 3oubts as to his eligibility, we have not cared to discuss tho question as to how long he can hold tho position of Governor whether for nine day3 cr four years. We think it not improbable that the people will call upon him, before his term as Governor expires, to assume some position more dignified even than tho one he now fills, and the convention thalineets on the 22d inst., should be very eareful in the' selection of a can didato for Lieut. Governor. He should be a man that possesses the same kind of administrative ability which has accomplished such wonders during the past three years. We have no foars, whatever, in regard to this whole question of eligibility. The Governor is eligible and he will be elect ed; and if he is eligible and is elected, in the name of common sense what can prevent him discharging the duties of the office. Repudiation. The people may not think it, but the question of repudiation will enter largely into the canvass of this year. If they do not believe it, let them read the "article from the Covington Friend, which we print in another column. The Covington Friend is ono of the leading Democratic papers of the State. Its editor i3 one of the recognized leaders of the party, and there is little danger that what he says is' informal. He speaks from tho card. He utters what the other leaders of the party think. It is, perhaps, true that the article in the Friend is put out as a feeler, for the purpose of ascertaining whether tho party will go that kind of doctrine; but the party will go anything, if it is iabeled Democracy, and administered by political quacks as the genuine Dr. Jacob Townsend. We are not surprised that the Democratic party favors the repudiation of the interest dae on our State bonds, Jeff. Davis is its ideal of a Democrat, and is he not the father of repudiation? Mississippi repudiated her State Debt, and has Mississippi ever been anything else than "Democratic and rebellious? Arkansas repudiated her bonds and did Arkansas ever cast any other than a Democratic electoral vote? It is according to the eternal fitness of things, then, that tho Democracy of Indiana prove the genuineness of their political faith, and its identitv with tVi RoiTthprn nrtiolo Kt? urging that oar State also repudiate her honest debts. The talk about Winslow, Lanier ft Co. paying the interest on our bonds in violation of law, and that they ought to lose the money they advanced for that reason, is not decent quibbling. Our rUate owed the money, and had the money with which to pay, yet the Democratic officials refused to apply the funds in their hands to that legitimate object. The reason of this is obvious. They could make more money speculating with them, and leaving the State debt unpaid. To such an extent has this been done, that the agent of the State, we understand, has had a row with the Treasurer, Mr. Brett, because the latter would not place all the money in tha State treasury at his disposal to gamble. with in Wall street Mr. Brett believes in moderation in all things, and can't see why Mr. Walker is not satisfied with having the use of $100,000 or $150,000 of the State money. We think, with Mr. Brett, that the demands of the Agent of State are unreasonable, unless he makes a fair divide with the other Democratic officials a point on which they seem to have doubts. All that can be said of Winslow, Lanier & Co., is, that they are more jealous for the reputation of our State, than some of the officials to whose keeping her honor has unfortunately been entrusted. The people will see that their liberality is not betrayed. Lkt the March Proceed. A dis patch from Washington city says: General Butler has heen in consultation with the President, Secretary of War and General llalleck most of the day. He proposes that the President issue a proclamation for 100,000 volunteers for a limited number of days for the special purpose of a crusade on Uiehmond, and liberating our starving prisoners there. He says he can with that number take the whole concern and thus clean out the ribel nest. It is not known what will be done in the matter. The idea of raising an army for the express purpose of taking liichmond was, we believe, first pot forth in the Journal and we are glad to see General Butler endorsing it, even if he does not give us credit for it. fSF Gen. Cass is gaid to h Rn f0Kithat he cannot live tnnch longer. He ja in his eighty -first year.

Writing to Membgb jCoxcREss. As Congress is now in session, it will he ; well to remind the public of as impl ant change in the franking privilegeHeretofore, as it will be remembered, all letters to and from members of Congress i passed through the mails free of pastage. Now, however, it must be borne in mind that only the letters from a member of I Congress can pass free of postage. AH.!

correspondence with a member of Congress must be paid, a3 are all the letters to a private individual. This is an important fact, tho remem berance of which will save much delay in the transaction of business both of a public and private haractcr. The provisions of the law enforcing this pre-pay" ment of the letters to members of Congress, will also have the effect of reliev ing the members of thr.t body from much annoyance and useless labor, as it will exempt them from the duty of attending to a vast correspondence, which, in nine cases out of ten, owed its proportions to the fact that "a letter to a member went free." It will also add largely to the public revenue a fact of which the department will not complain. Sad Accidevt at Lbaybrvobtb. Mr. Edward Caldwell, of Leavenworth, attended a festival at the Presbyterian Church in that town on Christmas eveaccompanied by his wife and his little son Eugene. In leaving the church, at the conclusion of the ceremonies, the steps by which the entry to the building was made, gave way and precipitated Mr. Caldwell and his child, which he held in his arms, to the ground, the child's head striking with such force upon a stone as to fracture its skull, from the effects of which the little sufferer died on Saturday evening. In their sad bereavement the afflicted parents bafe the warmest sympathies of their large circle of friends. JCST" The election, on the 4th inst, of Directors of the Terre Haute and Richmond railroad resulted in tho choice of Chauncy Rose, Dumas Denning, James Farrington, Chas.Wood, W. K. Ettwardbl F. Nippert, W. R. McKeen, and L. G Warren, of Terre Haute, and E. J. Peck, of Indianapolis. The Board of Directors was organized by the election of E. J. Peck, President; Chaa. Wood, Secretary; John Scott, Treasurer, and R. E. S. Richer, Superintendent. This road has declared a dividend of seven per cent (free of Government tax) on the earnings of the past six months, which shows it the best managed as well 1 as the most successful road in the West, j With such directors and officers as con. duct its affairs, how can it be otherwise? The Interest on the State Delit. We sec from the State Sentinel that Governor Morton advertises that, through Winslow, Lanier ft Co., the interest on the State Debt for last July, and the interest falling due in January next, will be paid. If Messrs. Winslow, Lanier ft Co., have concluded to pay such interest we are glad of it. As it is a voluntary a t e . i r, . ... payment, mauo ior me iMate, without au-

. 1 . . 1 , . ' . . and others, in their contracts to aid the ; General Government in sustaining its credit before the world in suppressing the j rebellion. If Winslow, Lanier ft Co. labor under tho impression that the people of this Stato will quietly submit to authority not conferred upon Governor Morton, and ! fill contracts which he illegitimately en- j tors into, they ru:iy find it dillieult to.get j their money returned. If this trouble j should ensue, as we verily heiipve it will, i we shall have no sympathy with them if they should jiever receive a fin-thing of : their advances; we shall not deplore it, for the reason that they aro cognizant of the fact that the whole transaction be-' tween them and Governor Morton is fraudulent and without the authority of law. We e are ot the ooimon that the neonlr , of Indiana have not so far forgot their own State pride, or the dignity of their manhood, as to permit a lot of officious and selfish intermeddlcrs to assume the ' care and keeping of their ajFairs, As a proper rebuke to such audacious imper- j tinence, we trust and hope that a prompt refusal will be given, against the recognition of any part or portion of this transaction, and thereby let Governor Morton, and Winslow, Lanier ft Co., know that it is better that they attend to their own business and let that of others alone. In this connection, we desire to say that the foregoing is but a part and parcel of Governor Morton's system. He hat managed to commit the commissioners of some of the couuties, so far as to have them appropriate money out of the treasuries of their counties for purposes not known to law, to aid the Governor to accomplish his own corrupt purposes. Every dollar thus acquired from county i t -I.. i -ii J ouarua, was ouiaineu illegally, was a iraua 4l, "I u einris ; forrtlll On r ." 1 . .1 . . - . 1 iuuu iiaueu iu mo uisposai or lue Uov- i ernor, to aid in advancing his schemes to agg.-andize himself. We hope the honest, oppressed tax-payers of each of these counties will refuse to submit to a taxation that will refund to the treasury one dollar of tho money so abstracted, and compel the individuals composing such boards, and the treasurers of such counties, out of their individual means, to return to the treasury the sums thev caused to be drawn therefrom for such ! purposes. We hope' to heir cf a suit being brought against them fur thi.s money. The morality of the officers in the Re- ! publican party seems to have run riot in all kinds of outrages; let them be made to answer from their estates for the amount oi wincn,oy inf-ir malleasancein i olfice, the people were plundered.

NOTICE. Notice of Leasing Abandoned Plantations. BY DIRECTION OF THE 8BCBETABY OF the Treasury, and in pnr-uance of thw order of the Secretary or War, I have assumed the supervision of leasing abandoned lands, tenements and houses in insurrectionary States within the First Agency, which embraces Tennessee, Arkansas and bo much of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama as is within the lines of the army operating from the North. I shall go dowu tho Mississippi at once, to make th,o necessary arrangements for leasing plantationo and! providing them with the labor of freydnien. Information as to terms, Lc, will be published as soon as possible. In the meantime, pyrsons desirous of leasing plantations ftr the coming year, may feel assured that every effort will be made to insure protection to those working such lands, and to allow profits commensurate to the enterprise. Persons with small means disposed to devote their personal labor with those employed by them, will bo particularly encouraged. It is estimated by those who havo examined the subject, that the capital required for working one hundred acres will be about $3,000 and tho net profits about 810,000 nt present prices of the staples. Agricultural Implements and all other art icbs nsed in cultivating tho plantations, must be furnished by the lessees. The frecdmen will lie forwarded to places convenient for employment, and it is supposed that actually as are wanted can be found ready to labor. Agents will be immediately appointed, authorised to lease to those who apply at Goodrich's Lauding Vicksburg, Natchez, and snch other places as may lie convenient to persons interested.

These Spectacles are a perfect preventative by use ing thm constantly, causing lbs eye to gain its healthy power and retain it to old age. Having had very considerable experience also in caterai t eyes, In adapting glasses to snch vision, would impress on (he minds of all persons needing glasses of auy description, to apply for snch only to a regular Optician, ranking that his sole study ami business for years, he alone being able to know from the peculiar anatomy of tha eye the nature of the defect, w nether arising from weaknessof s ght, flattening of the pop 11. or other misfortune occurring lo the vision. The eye be ing tho aaaat delicate organ, and cf the AMI vital importance to tbe heppiuess and prosperity of mau, should never be tampered with, either by the indhidiiRl orby those who, for mere profit, take upon themeelves the selling of Optical Instruments, and who know nothing of the anatomy, of th eye, orhov.- to discover the proper glasses to suit the peculiarity ol the different sights ef those needing spectacles. Thousands have lost their vision tutirely from not applying to those only qualified to know the different defect in each individual's sight and how to remedy it by wearing the proper kind of spectacles. I. Bitteuberg, having had over twenty-iiv? vears esprienc as a regular Btactkal optician, can assure those giving him their yatronage that by applying to him they can get the very right kind of glascs ad.tpted to their case, and in a!mt every one secure good eye sight to old ag.-.
