' If Congress is not expeditious in agreeing to the ComtitntionarameivUnent, I look for a second-proclamation, freeing every alave in the l oion, upon the p round of military necessity.

There is adiKticmal news, tliraigh rebel papers of Hhvhhan's niuveiuento, but nothing detinite. The rapture of Milledgeville seems to lie confirmed, but it is not known that Macon was raptured. The rebel theory U that the deiaonatratioai against that place ws a feint to cover a lnoveiueui against Augusta. There is a rumor by way of New York, that the right wing nf the army approaching tlie latter plare was reraised with severe loss. Another tlieorv is that rMiisKman'b movements toward Augusta and Mcon ivor Iwitli feints, and tliat be would asareb directly Irolu Milledgerille t Savannah, capturing tbe latter place, and receiving the cooperation of tlve naval forces. Making Savannah a base, he would then operate agninut the interior of Georgia, leaping the lines of communication between the West ami East cut. This movement continues to cause great e-scitement in the Confederacy, and baa given rise to bitter discussions ia Cougress and the press.

All the rebel j batteries that cotdd be brought to bear on us opened furiously, but shells cor grape siid cauls tcr, had tho power even to check our advance. Charging down in the rear f their breaslworks, we continually doubled tiieir left back on itself, guo after guu was abandoned to 11 as we crossed tlie open but fortified fi.-U, in the western part of the valley. After we had broken their lines and driven them about a anile, Averiji's Cavalry diished from their ambuscade, crossed in front of us, taking the flying grey-backs prisoners by the hundred. Now all tlds remember was on the north side of Fisher'a Creek, and within a mile and a half of our starting point. The enemy retreated to the south side of Fisher's Creek, and attempted to check us at the crest of a high wooded hill that flanked their main works. Now cams j the crisis ; our line were broken into utter confusion j in the two miles already paased over owing to the j fact that some men can outrun other men as well into , a fight,asoutof one. ihe best wind and tunb aid ( the fighting. The color bearers being alway picked j meu and carrying no heavy musket or catridge box, j were foremoat, and this moment faced six standof our j colors near the cret f the bill, under a sweeping J shower of bullets, without support enough to form a j guard for even a siugle stand. When they could g no further they halted, waving their colors and cheering, until men without resrard to regiment, scrambled j up to them and formed a hasty line for the new charge. 1 A line of braver men neTer were formed, than vol- f untarily rushed to the protection of t'mse waving ' colors. No sooner formed than with a cheer they digappeared in the heavy shade of the wooded hill top. j Their cheers were drowned by tne conuuuous ruar 01 j musketry that vainlv sought to give them check Mealed and breathless they gained the summit, firing as they ran up. Down went the enemy on the other side, with our boy close on their heels, shouting and shooting. The acene at this stage battles all description. We were in the midst of the rebel camp and of course inside of their fortifications. Crook's little army of 5,000 were almost surrounded by 2i),t0i demoralized grey-backs, who took advantage of every crest or open field to return our fire as they net tn.ui t u. Daylight was fast leaving us, and as we pressed j on it became almost impossible to tell friend from foe.

When we reached the turn pike it waa dark, but the red flashes from a riiige of: ground that run across the road showed us tiia Un 1 1 1 stin.l of the enemy. j Our jaded nun without halting, charged and drove j them off towards Woodstock. Geu. Sheridaii dashed past to tlie front, hair crazy with delight, telling us as j he passed that we had done well, and to bivouac for tlie night, and gladly did that little army stretch i'S i weary limbs on the ground, having neither dinner, supper nor blankets, but the wild enthusiasm of vie- J tory, was both food and covering. j We took 1,000 prisoner. 17 guns and 1,200 staud small arms, glory enough for one day. While Crook's I army rested and slept, the l'.th corps, that had scarce ; been in action all day continued the parsuit, assisted by the Cavalry and light Artillery. As ever, good -night. w. c. s.

Xoblk, who was elected Clerk of the Supreme CourL. The service never had a more efficient officer, ' and accomodating and genial gentleman, than Laz Noble;' the change in these partiulars, will not be felt, for Col. Tkrkbi.1-, is just as good. The Hviard Tri&uH, speak? the sentiments of all acquainted with him, in the follow ing notice: Whoever has no knowledge of Buck Terrell, has failed to get acquainted with one of the best men in Indiana. His head is as clear as a sound bell of the first metal, and he is as clever as he is well posted. The Colonel has been with the Governor since the beginning of the war, and he deserves his great popularity. Persons having business at his office, will find General Terrell a hightoned and courteous gentleman.

Gillero, finding the reels were about to surround Ltiu, commenced a retaeat, bringing his artillery and wagons out, with a portion of the Si, and with the 9ih, leaving the remainder of the 8ta and the 13th to protect tlie rear. The men and horses had now been three days without rations, excep fresh beef, without salt. . . At the west ena or lorrestown, tne re fired on onr troops from th woods; the packed mules some ISO of them tock fright and broke in every direction, the result of which was, that wo lost our artillery and waj'ins, and many of our men their horses and guns. Gen. ) Gillcm threw himself into the front rank, and assisted by the officers of the regiments, labored to form hi; men into a line, to make a stand and give battle, " bat all to no purpose. The men were panic stiicken; so were the numerous citizens aloug; and the very men who had fought so bravely and so daringly but the day before, and on former occasions, could not be brought to a stand.

There are a thousand and one rumors af!oat as to the forces opposing us, and as to the conduct of our tnen, but we have stated the leading facts as detailed to us by different olhcers in the command, who were present and witnessed all that occur red. On Sabbath evening, a train with five days rations, with ammunition and three hundred reenforcements of the 10th Michigan, of Ohio troops, and of Kirk's command, were sent up by Gen. Amnion to re-enforce Gen. Gillem, under command of Major Smith, a brave and gallant ofticer. These men and supplies got no fourther than Morristown, and then, after night, as we understand it, met with the troops of Gen. Gillem retreating, and fired into by the rebels from the woods, and from the tory honses in Morristown. This brought our own men in collision fur the moment, but the infautry were formed in line on the hiil this side of Morristown, and fought the enemy wiih obstinacy.

The General's ; Great Beprf sentative f Speech. 1 An . immense crowd, of titizens. assembletl last evening at the Fifth Ave nue Hotel to meet General Butler and show him all the honors merited br his distio2ruishel services to his eouutrv. We hare seldom seen such a brilliant assernblasre. In the course of the even ing t!iere were not less than 9,000! persons who passed through the hall. The meeting was called to order at about 11 o'clock, and Mr. James Wadsworth called upon General Butler to give his views on the recent election, when he addressed the people present as follows : PEF.CH OF GENERAL laiXKU. ) Mk. Wapswoutii, Laiii:s axi ukntleiMtN: The citizens of .New York have ; done me honor over-much. Their kind ! ness, extended in every form known to ( Christian Courtesy, overwhelms me, I i. nut 1 Mioutu uc sii;."pi.sevi 10 iieaoio 10 j add anything to their sunt of intelligence IM . . T - 71 I . , . . 1. . , is u siui greater nouor. 1 nai 1 eniei 1:1m i very distinct views upon the subjects to i which 3 0a have adverted, is most true. 1 "Peace hath her victories, no le;-s re- . i uowned than war." and of all the peacefid victories ever vet achieved in the in- I j tcrests of human freedom, that achieved in the peaceful quiet which almost ; 1 brooded over this land on the Mil of: November is the greatest. But before i 1 tve proceed for a moment to look upon I its material results, let us look at its 1 I moral. It has taught all the world who 1 shall look on ( and it is not now to be j j saiu that it is a vain toast that the eyes j j ot" all the world are upon us, ) and that ' e are able iu the stress and strain of a j I civil war like this, which has never been , .. ' . . . 1 seen belore, to carry on our institutions ; . e , - . .,- . , 1 : III tlf!lotlll nillAT. th:ir. v iaii i'liiiir. i re-elect our rulers as we weigh them in j the balance and find them either meri- 1 j torious or wanting, without to much of ; tioubie, disorder, riot or commotiou as j pertain to a constable election in a par- j ish iu England. The moral then is, that i a government embalmed iu the hearts of 1 the people, dependent upon the iutelli- 1 gence of the people, is the strongest ; government on earth ; strong iu the af j feetions, stronger still in the right arms j of tlie people. We have heretofore been told that it was necessary there should be either monarchy or despotism to j wield bayonets, yet we see bayonets wielded by hundreds of thousands ofi us, where other governments hare not. been able to wield by hundreds, and find them entirely subservient to the people's will. The natural results are not less striking. First in the fact that all disputed questions which have divide! the country are now settled by an almost unanimous verdict of the whole people. Does any one comidaiu that in tlie conunci 01 iiiuiiary operations lucre suouiu , . . '.. be the arrest of traitors i That question i,,,i, . i , , , ,., has been argued and settled, and the verdict ig guiUy j- Cheers. Does any one complain that the theory of the Constitution in relation to arming the peo 1 . . f a.' .1 1 , ple in defense of the country has been carried out, which enrolls all able bodied men to fight in defense of their country's life and liberties, and drafting us many as are necessary ? That question has been settled, and hereafter it will be more honorable to be drafted than to volunteer. Laughter. Docs anv one complain that tlie Government in its wisdom has organized troops irrespective of color, and believes that the black man's grave would fill as much space as " his color was white, when lie falls in battlo in defense of his country's libcrswept the country in a season of financial peril. These material results have been achieved. Now, then, what is the duty of the Government iu the present future? War cannot last always. The history of J nations shows the, experience of tlie world demonstrates that war must come i to an end. But how ? In what way ? ; A war such as this, prosecuted for the nurnose of breaking- down the nnwr of i t,ve wisdom of the land both for lead- '. cls "a louowers. can mere oe ant ex- - . .

I never eitvt to see, in arms or in civil affairs, a greater victory than, the one we have just achieved : and I tfiink we are now strong enough to mik that offer with due regard to onr interest, our dignity, ami our hou. r as a nation. .VppUnse. I tiWe it that the m st squeamish of all t ie Irien.ls of the country w .11 agree w itli us, w-lien they find that in truth we have "exhausted every resource of statesmanship" in attempting to obtain peace by an offer of amnesty and forgetiulness of tlie past, lnu'lel only by a suhunssion to the laws. We n ill thcu le ready to make war aye. war to the hill and such war as should lie made to decide tlie fate of a great nation. Therefore, while asking par ton for trespassing too long upon the festivities of this occasion, keeping the ladies iu waiting, in answer to what you were kind enough to suggest, 1 look upon this victory as one which has decide! tiie war decided it, if not iu a military point of of view, yet overwhelmingly as a civil victory, which, after all, "decide the fate of nations everywhere. To this it may be answered -ami to that answer I lake leave for a moment to call your attention, so that every one may work out the problem in his own mind much mora clearly tlian any snggestinns of mine coul I do if we carry on the war with the strength nd stringency w hich I hare suggested, how shall we ever live in the same land with the men with whom we thus tight T Let us go to tlie teachings of history, and draw from the history of that land which we were once proud to irwn "s the nmtlier-country. Every considerable estate in England in the wars under Cromwell, passed through the courts or commissioners of confiscation ; every considerable household fought against each otlier comtiderable household ; tlie people fought agaiust the nobles, a:il the nobles against the people. And yet, when the King came to his own again, the nation came together, cemented in friendship, never to be thereafter divided. Is there any difficulty, then, in 1cm A ing at the teachings of the Anglo-Saxon, to know how to live in quiet and peace, aye, iu amity and friendship, with those with whom we have been fighting? Is it not a wellknown rule of social action, that those with w hum we have fought bitterly, after the tight is over, are more nady than ever to be retaken by tlie baud? They are more endeared to us after a fair tight, and we are more ready to respect both them and their rights. Therefore, I see no difficulty in every good man of the South and every good nmn of the North corning together to let bygones lie bygones. I have already said that I desire the extinguishment of thu bad men, so far as this country is concerned. I am lad of this opportunity to tender to the citizens of icu York, who have so kiudlv come here this evening to do honor to the Government which I represent, my most sincere and heartfelt thauks for their loyal appreciation of the tflorts of tie Government in their behalf, and to say to them collectively, in reply to the suggestion, that the presence of the I'nited States troops here prevented all disorder, that far more did the inlhieuce of every (rood man, ail tending in one direction, aid to prevent disorder; and still further, the solemnity nf an occasion in which a nation's life was weighel in the ballance of a nation' power, which even bad men seemed to feel, rein lied tumult. A i led to this that the wicked could fiud neither countenance nor support from any good man of any party. To these we owe the peace of the city. I again return you my thanks. I am happy to bid you God speed on the in rrow, when I leave for the armies and operations iu the field. Loud applause. Three cheers were proposed for General Bafler, which were given with great enthusiasm and were thrice- repeated. The company then passed nu to visit Mr, and Miss I'utlt r, the General's wife and daughter, after w hich they adjourned to the banquet hall, where the festivities of the evening were carried into the early hours of the morning. Archbishop Purcell and the National Thanksgiving. Archbishop Pursell. of Cincinnati, has a letter in the Catholic Telegraph of the 10th exhorting tlie Catholics of his diocese to meet in tiieir respective churches on tlie day above specified, and assist in becoming sentiments of gratitude, penitence and prat er, at the great F.uchnristic, expirator and impetratory Sacrifice of the New Law. He concludes his letter as follows, tJ which we invite the attention of CatJiolics, as worthy of their consideration : "There is no justifying cause or reason to curse the Government or the Administration. They did not commence this war. They could scarcely bring themselves to believe that it was seriously commenced, even when forts had fallen and the blood of our people was shed by the bauds of the South. And when force had to be repelled b- force, when armies had to be raised and, therefore, troops to be drafted, raise the blockade of our rivers and stem the tide of aggression, what more did our Government do than was done in the South? Where in the North was the draft, the conscrption, enforced as ruthlessly and at indiscriminately as in the South ? "Werc was the citizens, pioperty confiscated., without compensation, for the alleged ' nsed of Government, as it was in the South ? We have conversed with Irish Catholic refu gees from Georgia, from Arkansas, from Alabama and other Southern States, and we know how they were strip ped of their money and their clothes, and cast into prison when they refused to go into the ranks of the Confederate army. Many an Irish laborer told us in the hospitals, here and elsewhtre, that when the war bro';e out in the So-ith. and the public works were suspended, they were cither violently conscripted, or had to enlist or starve. We do not adduce these facts to excite unkind feelings against the South, but to put to shame the journalists oT the North, especially the Freeman's J(rnal and M'tropolti'in lieevrcl of New York, who instigated our too confiding people themselves who patronized such jonrnalists and were duped and deceived by their malignity. It is time, therefore, now that the election is past, that all should return to their sober second thocght, and that we fhould rally round Ihe constituted authorities, the "powers" which the apostle commands us to obey, and thus presenting an undivided front to the enemy, re-establish the Union, without which there

Vot say you eh?" lurti?to Ei-kctiox Imoiokxts We heard of many instances of irrepressible patriotism "manifested during the progress of the election on Tuesday. One venerable blind man iu Pawtucket, aaer waiting long for the kind .remembrance of sonic more youthful patriot, sent word to the polling place that if a carriage was not for him, he should crawl down to the polls to dep jsit his vote for Lincoln and Johnson. In Fall Kiver there was a very touching case. Captain James Brady, a warm hearted, brave, and loyal Irishman, commanding a company, of the 20th Massachusetts regiment, was recently wounded in the Shenandah Valley, and is now at home at Fall Kiver, with one leg off and three IwtlU in his body. On election day he insixted upon giving one more shot at the enemy. Accordingly the shattered hero was placed upon a stretcher, covered with the American ensign, and borne by four men to the ward room, where he deposited his vote for Lincoln and Johnson, every man present standing uncovered meanwhile, and not a few eyes suffused' with tears. As the gallant captain was borne out, having discharged his patrioue duty, cheer after cheer attested the fact that the deed was appreciated. J'rofultnce Journal.
