Morning Report. Gov. Bradford, of Maryland, in his message, just transmitted to the Legislature, speaks very encouragingly of the financial condition of that State, and expresses the belief that the prosperity of the State would have been greatly enhanced had slavery been xtinguished years ago The sale of rebel property throughout the loyal States will commence at once Commissioners have been appointed to settle claims arising under the late Indian hostilities in the Northwest. The Commissioners have awarded $1,378,458. Over 800 men, women and children, were butchered by the Indians. Noon Report. The Africa arrived at Halifax yesterday, from Liverpool on the 26th. The only item of news, thus far transmitted, is the mere announcement of the death of Thackeray From New Orleans we learn that another secret expedition left that place, supposed to be destined to operate against Mobile. Terrific rains have fallen in New Orleans, submerging the streets of the city to the depth of from one to two feet. Colored Yolunteers. Considerable complaint having been made by papers m different parts of the 3tate as to the manner in which the colored troops have been enlisted some even going so far as to charge the Governor with complicity in the matter Wm. P. Fishback, commandant of the colored battalion publishes the following card in the Indianapolis Journal. Complaints hsving been made as to the manner of recruiting and mustering the battalion of colored troops being raised in this State, I deem it a matter of justice to the military authorities of tne state to make public such facts concerning the alleged causes of complaint as are within my knowledge. The authority to enlist men for this battallion has been given to the various recruiting officers under my direction. I have inTariably instructed them that the place of the recruit's residence should receive the credit of his enlistment, unless the county or township where he lived refused to pay him the usual bounty, in which case he can select the place of his enlistment, and give credit for the same to the locality paying the bounty which induced him to volunteer. In this matter the Governor and the military authorities of Indianapolis had no voice, and such instructions as I gava were based upon opinions expressed by the mustering officers of the United States, that the recruit could enlist and be credited as a volunteer in any county of his selection. And this is just, so far as colored troops are concerned, for this reason: The Government does not pay them the bounty white soldiers receive, and their monthly pay is considerably less than that of other troops; so that colored men liable to the draft, were left tc enlist with out bounty, or go where private or local subscription had provided a bounty for them. The grievances .complained of have originated in secret bargains made by various townships agents with recruiting officers by which colored troops have been transferred from one locality to the credit of another. Counties interested in procuring the proper credits for their volunteers can accomplish their object by having some one present when the men are mustered to see that the musterin roll shows the proper credits. Some counties have taken this precaution, and without it there is no feasible method of obviating the difficulty. I will further state that when these complaints were first made, the Governor directed me to give further instructions to all recruiting officers, requiring them to give the place of each recruit's residence the credit of his enlistment Wm. P. Fisbback, Comd't January 6, 1864. The dissatisfaction in different parts of the State, has been greatly aggravated by the silly boasting of the Indianapolitan over their sharpness. For our part, aa we said before, if our people were so indifferent as not to look after their own interests, they deserved to be " waked up." But Mr. Fishback's card does not give the whole truth. It is true the negroes ought to be allowed to select the county bat will pay them the largest bounty in which to enlist, but that county ouht to pay all the expenses of the recruit from where he is persuaded to enlist to the time he is sworn in by the proper officer which should be done in the

county receiving the benefit of his enlist- j the Turn-key entered they.knoekec; him ment But what are the facts in the j down and ran out. In the hall they cis,-a Agents from Marion county have j were confronted by the sheriffs wife, who recruited negroes in other counties, was also knocked down, when the men worn them in, and then drawn Govern- j escaped to the street and at once separvunt transportation to take them to the ; ated, and up to a late hour on WednesCapital where they were credited on the day night had not been caught They quota of Marion county. In truth, af- were a bad set of men, and every effort ter the negro is sworn in, it is no longer is being made to recapture them. The

optionary with him whether he will go or stay, whether he will bo credited to this

or that county. He is absolutely in the j KunB of tr rpnmitinf. nfrirr to be

cre dited Where M th:nks proper. It IS questionable, in many instances, if the negro ever receives the bounty proposed by Marion county. We think it not improbable, if the matter could be elotely investigated, no small part of the bounty would be found in the pockets of the recruiting officers. We still think our friends at the Capital are sAarj, and we ar pleased to see that their modesty does not prevent them boasting of it Another Attempt to Escape from tbk Military Prison. On Saturday night the rebel prisoners confined in the military prisons at Louisville made an other attempt to escape by tunneling under the walls of the prison. They commenced digging in the same tunnel start, ed some time since, when a similar attempt to escape was made, the particulars of which were published in the Journal at the time. They were digging during Saturday night, some seven feet further, and but for tho timely discovery they would no doubt have succeeded in digging from the inner to the outer prison. The officer in going his rounds Sanday morning discovered one of the pris. oners .coming out of the tunneL The facts were immediately related to the commandant of the prison, who had two of the prisoners, the chief ones in the op perations, placed in irons. False Rumors Omeially Corrected. The following letter from Gen. Carrington is interesting, because it effectu ally silences many unpleasant rumors which are atloat through the State, rela tive to the sufferings of our soldiers at the Capital. At the request of Gov. Morton, Gen. Carrington visited all the camps in the vicinity of the city on Wed nesday, and the following is the report of his observations: Isdiaxapolis, Ind., Jan. 6, 1864. Sir: In accordance with your request, I have visited all camps near this city, to learn their condition during the pres ent cola term. J. he following is the re suit: CAMP MORTON. Troops on duty the Invalid Corps, Col. Stevens. L nusual health prevails. Only one death since September, and that a case of congestive chills after illness of several weeks. No deaths or serious injury from the extreme cold. All reports to tnat enect are without toundation, The guard is relieved hourly, when nec essary, and as much oftener as the soldier advises the corporal, by call, that he suffers on his beat. Hot coffee is served to the men when relieved, and pains are taken to prevent suffering and needless exposure. The officers detailed for daily duty are held to the rules of picket service, and have no rest or relaxation during tie twenty-four hours. They are exposed with the men, and all alike deserve credit. The only cases that could have given currency to the reports as to suffering, are, one where in the change from two hours to one, a sentry was accidentally retained on his po3t, but without injury; and another where double duty was required of a soldier for misconduct on guard. This case is under investigation by Col. Stevens; but this man was not frozen, and is as well as usual THE PRISONERS AND 8ICK Less sickness than usual. No sufferers by frost. I visited nearly every barracks and the hospitals. The men'were cheerful and thankful. Of fifty letters sent out nearly every one spoke kindly of their treatment. One prisoner said to me, "It would be extravagant to ask for anything else." Seven hundred extra blankets and many shoes had been issued. They lack for nothing indispensable to personal health and comfort CAMP CARRIXGTOX. Troop3 on duty, two Invalid companies and new recruits. The extreme cold weather came on while the barracks were being re-built. No recruits arrived; wood was impressed, when necessary, for their comfort, and there has been neither death nor injury from cold. CAMP SHANKS. Same force and condition as Camp Garrington. soldiers' home Troops on duty, 2d Battalion, 63d Indiana volunteers, Major TindalL Only two sick men out of four hutidred. No suffering from cold, but the men well provided for. There has been more suffering to soldiers in their coming to the eity, than from all duty whatever. All unnecessary guard duty is avoided. At all the camps the proper effort is made to promote their comfort, and the measures taken would satisfy any parent or guardian who should visit their son or ward in camp. Camp life cannot be home life; but few camps in winter can be more comfortable than the above named. CAM? FREMOXT. The colored troops at Camp Fremont suffered more than any others the first night of the cold spell, but were at once amply provided for, and none suffered permanent injury. Yours, respectfully, Hexry B. Carrikgton, Brig. Gen. U. S. V. His Excellency, Gov. O. P. Morton, In dianapolis, Ind. Lieut Col. Morgan, of a negro regiment, at the Christmas dinner at headquarters in Xashville, offered his hand to the Lieutenant Colonel of the 102d Ohio, with whom he had had, when Lieutenant, some friendly acquaintance. The latter refused to take his hand, saying he '"didn't recognize these nigger officers." Louisville Democrat. The Lieutenant Colonel of the 102d Ohio by this act not only disgraced himself but the State he represents, and the uniform he wears. We cannot see for the life of us, why it is more disgraceful to command a regiment of negroes flighting for the preservation of our government, than to command a plantation of negroes on a cotton, sugar or tobacco plantation, and yet the latter are considered the aristocracy and the chivalry of the world.

Bf-atb of Jndsre Caleb B. Smith.

Lajt night, at half past seven o'clock, Caleb B. Smith, Jud;re of the United States Court for the District of Indiana, and late Secretary of the Interior, died in bis office in the Court Room, of hemorrhage of the stomach, so suddenly that j this announcement will surprise most . who see it He left home in the morning with his son, to attend Court, which was in session, and appeared to be in his usual health, which, however, for some mouths past ha3 not been very robust On arriving at the Court House he went nto his private room to rest a few min utes before opening Court, and while sitting before the fire was seized with a fit of coughing, which, in seme unexplained way, ruptured a blood vessel, and caused a profuse and almost choking flow of blood. He was alone at the time, but in a few minutes Postmaster Coiner entered the room, and discovering the condition of the Judge, notified those who could best assist in the matter, and had him removed to the bed in the private office of Mr. District Attorney Hanna. Doctors Jameson and Wright were called in, and the utmost efforts of these experienced physicians were directed to the stooDine of the floar of blood. They succeded partially, but not till more than a gallon had been thrown up, and the patient fearfully, if not iatallv, reduced in strength and vital energy. After the checking of the hemorrage, the Judge remaiued calm, and, it was hoped, in a condition which rendered recovery possible. But late in the afternoon a paroxysm of coughing seized him aain and renewed the hemorr'age, and attacking a system already so greatly reduced, speedily rendered death inevitable. Some time before dark it was considered certain that he could not live through the night, and those unhappy fears were realized only too soon. As his condition made it impossible to move him, he died in the Court building, like John Qnincy Adams, in the discharge of his duty, laboring in the cause of justice and good government to the last moment of his life. A nobler record than this can no man have, that he died in his duty, and at his post. At the hour we write, it is impossible to give a sketch of the life and career of Judge Smith, but we shall do so to-morrow. Ind. Journal, Stk. The Tribune prints the follow ing: "The Rev. S. A. Hale, of Dover, N. H, recently visited the Army of the Potomac and called upon Gen. Meade. He writes to a New Hampshire paper that he asked Meado to explain his last campaign, and the General was kind enough to reply as follows: 'I went over the river to fight, and if my orders had been obeyed I am confident that Lee's army might have been defeated. My plan was to cross at German ia Ford, take the road to Orange Court House, and push on rapidly, and if Lee should send forces to stop me, to attack him in force and destroy that portion of bis army before he could concentrate the whole of it to oppose me, but one of my corps commanders failed me. He was commanded to march at six o'clock in the morning, but did not march until eight o'clock. He was directed if Lee sent forces to oppose him, to attack at once. Lee did send Ewell down the Orange Court House road iust as I exDected. but my General stood and looked at him j all day and did not fight; so we lost 24 hours and gave Lee notice and time to concentrate his armv and take so strong a position that it could not be carried witbout great loss and a risk of losing our army. Such a fight would have damaged us and encouraged the rebels, and prolonged the war, and I gave the order to retreat The corps commander referred to was Gen. French, who was probably too drnnk to know or do his dutv. KlT-The New York Daily Ne ws resents the supposition made by some of the journals that Mr. Fernando Wood was preparing to act a patriotic part in Congress. Notwithstanding the vote of Mr. Wood for the resolution to pay negro soldiers, and his failure to vote with Mr. Harris against the war resolutions of Mr. Green Clay Smith, the Jeics asserts that Mr. Wood " is for peace." "The Richmond Enquirer says that while oysters and milk were held at snch priees in that city on Christmas, that white men refused to purchase, they were readily bought by the negroes. What do the Copperhead fraternity think of that ? Negroes enjoying luxuries in Richmond, that white men are not able to buy. Two Deep. The Cincinnati Gazette, in a long article compiled from its exchanges about the great storm and the cold, contains the following paragraph relative to the situation oi our city: At Evansville, Indiana, the snow was two or three feet deep on Thursday evening, and the storm was still in progress. Not so deep, Gazette by about 22 or 28 inches. It was two or three inches the Jownal had it You must not stretch our inches to feet Gov. Seymour's message to the Legislature of New York is a flank movement on Gen. McClellan that he had better keep his eye on, or it may prove as disastrous to his Presidential prospects as was Stuart's celebrated flanking operations on the Peninsula to his anticipations of military glory. Gov. Seymour is bidding high for the nomination by the Peace men he may be successful. We are informed that there were forty-one cases of small-pox and varaoloid in the penitentiary at Jeffersonville this morning, and about fifty cases in the town. A number of deaths, we learn, have occurred. The disease is also very malignant in the military prison at Louisville, and a large number of the prisoners have been removed to other quarters. N. A. Ledger, 4A. feVAmong the persons mentioned as well fitted for the Supreme Bench, we hear Joseph H. Brown, Esq.. of Williamsport, highly spoken of. He is an I able lawyer, and we believe would be the j unanimous choice of the Union men of the Fourth District His claims will be I submitted to the Union State Convention, and we hope to see him the successful candidate for the nomination.

We learn'that a boy was killed last Tuesday a week, in the southeast part of Allen county, Indi- : aaa, in the following manner: A party of men were threshing clover seed in a barn with a machine driven by horse power. The boy being in the mow over ' the machine, probably for the purpose of throwing down the clover to thresh, fell ; ; through the tloor ot the mow into the : machine and was cat in two below the i knees, at the thighs, his body severed, and head taken off parts of the mutiUtter corpse being thrown some distance j with the clover straw.

Notice of Leasing Abandoned Plantations. BT DIRECTION OE TBK SECRETARY OF the Treasury, and in pursuance of the order of the Secretary of War, I have assumed the inpefyision of leasing abandoned lands, tenements and houses in insurrectionary States within the First Agency, which embraces Tennessee, Arkansas and so much of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama as Is within the Unas of the army operating from the North. I shall go down tho Mississippi at once, to make the necessary arrangements for leasing plantations and providing them with the labor of freedmen. Information as to terms, Ac, will be published as soon as possible. In tho meantime, parsons desirous of leasing plantations for the coming year, may feel assured that every effort will be made U insure protection to those working such lands, and to allow profits commensurate t ) ths enterprise. ' Persens with small means disposed to devote their personal labor with those employed by them, will be particularly encouraged. It is estimated by those who have examined the subject, that the capital required for working one huudred acres will be about $3,000 and the net profits about 510,000 at present prices of the staples. Agricultural implements and all other articles used in cultivating the plantations, must bo furnished by the lessees. The freedmen will he forwarded to places convenient for employment, and it is supposed that as many as are wanted can be found ready to lalor. Agents will be immediately appointed, authorised to lease to those who apply at Goodrich's Lauding Vicksburg, Natchez, and such other places us may be convenient to persons interested.
