Appended

of the killed, wounded and missing,

with particular in each caao as far as ascer­

tained: The 3.rth Indiana crossed theTonnesseo river at Shell Mound, on the 4th day of Soptombor, 1863, and oncampod at the foot of Raccoon Mountain. September 5th we took up our lino of march at S^o clock p. m. Alter proceeding about 9 miles without in'erruption went into camp. September (5th vve marched about four miles, and camped at ho foot of Whiteside Mountain. Soptember -th wc marchod at daylight in the direction of Chattanooga and encamped 3^ miles from Trenton. September 9th wo moved forward at 6 o'clock a. m., passed Chattanooga on our loft and encamped about 4 mileo south of the town. September 10th wo marchod at 9 o'clock a. m., and encamp* ed within 0 miles of Ringgold at 4 o'clock p. nu September llth we moved forward in the morning, tho 35th Indiana supporting the 8th Kentucky, skirmished briskly w»th the enemy, following closely to their rear until ^o'clock, when we went into camp. September 12th we returned through Ringgold, passing Chattanooga on our right, and the 35th being the next rear to the rear, encamped on the Rome road at 8 o'clock p. m. September 13th wo formed in line of battle at daylight, and at 11 o'clock wo made a reconnoisnaDM and found the enemy in force

drove them about 4 miles, and returned to camp, near Gordon's Mills. September 14th we resumed our lino of march at seven o'olock, aud proceeding west, halted about 5 .mjfies.from camp and lay in* thick woods about 6o'clock p. m., we moved forward and we»t into camp at Cross Roads, in the

Chattanooga Valley, at the base of Lookout Mountain no enemy seen. September- 15th we marched at 11 o'clock a. going south, went into camp after marching 6 miles, our Vgade (the 3d) in advance here the enemy's camp Urea could be seen, but no interWon. September Wthwe lay all day

je uau masked a heavy

force in our front, and about 4 o'clock opened on us with artillery and musketry. Tho firing continued until near sundown, when we were ordered to retire. This was accomplished under a most destructive fire, in which we lost several of our beat men. Our line was again formed on a hill in our roar. From this wo marched in the direction of Chattanooga, and camped within four miles of the towu.

The conduct of both officers and men du ring these engagements was all that could be desired. It would bo impossible for mo to make any distiction, as each officer and man bore his part with distinguished bravery. I must, however, except Lt. John Dugan, of Co. K., who basely desertod his company on the 19th inst., and has not been heard of sinco. I recommend his dismissal from the service for cowardice.

Very respectfully. JOHN P. DUFFICY, Major Commanding Regiment.

From Gen. McGinuts DivisionThings nt Ilrnshler City. Tho following letter wo take from tho Stato Journal. It will doubtless be read with interest by those who have friends in the llth Indiana, and also by others.

BRASHEAR Orrr, LA., Sept. 525, 1863. From Vicksburg to Natchez, from Natchez to Carrollton, La., Rnd from thence to this city of few houses and fewer inhabitants, has the old division removed since ray last epistle. And so long a time has elapsed since so doing that it will hardly interest you for me to enter into particulars as to the trip to thia place.

Brashear City, on Berwick Bay, is not a place of much importance, Bavo in a military point of view. It is connected by railway with New Orleans, distant ninety miles.

As to tho 3d division, its general health ia good. We have, by long exposure, become acclimated, and do not Buffer from excessive heat auy rnoro thau we did as citizens from unusual heat in tho North.

Gen. Hovey is yet North. Rumor has that he has been assigned to some other command. All hero would bo sorry to lose

Brig. Gen. McGinnia is now in command of the Division, vico Lee-assigned to the cavalry service.

The 1st Brigade is commanded by Col. iS. T. Spicely, of the 24th Indiana, a brave and true man, and what is better, a war Democrat. The 2d Brigade is undor command of Col. Slack, of the 47th Indiana.

Rumor has it that the 1st Brigade lias turned out another Brigadier. It is reported here that Col. R. A. Cameron, of the 34th Indiana, is the lucky man.

Lieut. Colonel Barter, of the 24th Indiana, returned last evening. He was severely wounded in the battle of Champion Hill, and has been home on furlough ever since. All seemed pleased to again eee him at lne old jjost. Major J. F. Gill has gone home on fur-

°lfr! R. B. Jessup, of the 24th Indiana, haa tendered hia resignation as Surgeon of that regiment. Dr. Jesaup haa long been«wlth the 24th, and has done his duty in every reepoct. For months, paat he has been aoting as alea ical Director of tho Division. Dr. Oornnger, of tho llth Indiana, will doubtless succeed him in that position, as be is the next in rank of the division.

Col. T- H. Brinfchurat Is in command ef the 46th. 1st Lieut. G. W. Cassel, Co. B, 2nd Lieut. W.H. H. Rader,Co. G.andOapt. W. S. Marehill, Oo. G, late of Gen. McGinnia' staff, have tendered their resignations and gone northward.

Od. Macaulay commanding the llth, Lieut. Ool. W. H. Darnell hat just returned, bringing with him a magnificent stand of col-

.adal who is foolish enough

,f tnom a hold upon his fingers. They pinch outrageously, as the writer can testify to hia sorrow. It is all humbHg, though, about their being such great luxuries. It ia rather more shell than meat when it comes to eating.

Fresh oysters in the shell are also to be had here by paying ono dollar per hundred. Cheap enough.

One can livo here. We have_ plenty of "rations," and add thereto occasionally^ by confiscating some poor "hog," "sheep," or "fowl," that may bo caught straying around "without a pass." And occasionally onions potatoes and othor vegetables are "went for," causing much grumbling among the good Union planters who live around.

Wo are under Eastern rule now, and with them the "oath of allegiance" has not yet lost its coloring.

Here wo had our first glimpse at "salt water." Vast were tho "cussings" at first, when the boys n.ot knowing of its flavor, would gulp down a mouthful, teo saltish to quench thirst. Tho only way to obtain water here is by sinking wells, and even then the water haa a strong, brackish taste.

An expedition into Texas seems to bo tho order of the day. The 19th Army Corps haa already crossed the Bay and started on the march. The 1st Division, 19th Army Corps, is crossing to-day. The 3d Division jgoes over to-morrow.

Tho Bay at thia point ia not more than half a mile wide. A littlo town called'Berwick is situated on tho other side.

Corps d' Afrique aro numorous here, for drill and military discipline present a fine appearance. Negroes make good soldics, nnd there is no use disgi^ping the fact and uuder the lead of proper officers will do good service.

Eastern and "Western men at first did not agreo. They did not likoono another. Bui this useless and unnecessary rancor is faBt dyIng away. This is as it should be. Soldiers fighting together in the samo cause should work together harmoniously.

Much speculation rife as to the prospect of a war with Franco, on account of her "doings" in Mexico. The French are_ roported as fortifying at Matamoras. It might bo possiblo that this expedition would turn up somewhere ne^re there. 1 see by a late paper that Dan. VoorheeB, the man of Copperhead principles, came near being hung by tho 63d Indiana. It is only regretted here that the officers interfered to Bave his worthless life. Better for Indiana, in time to como, had that ropo been alowed to do its work.

Gov. Morton haa recently had another Agent from Indiana here to look after the welfare of liis poldiers. Mr. Kimball is laid Agent. tVro. Syarc, Co. G, llth Indiana, died in the hospital at. Carrollton, Lousisiana, Aug. 28tb, 1863.

The President's Call for 800.000 Men.

The call by tho President for 300,000 more meu will not tako the people by surprise. The draft which was oxecutsd partially, did not furnish the army moro than sixty thousand or seventy thousand men. This number served to strengthen tho army of the Potomac very mateiially and tho release of the forcea of General GRANT on the Mississippi, enabled the Government to make strong and formidable tho army of RORKGRANB, at an ill appointed time in some respects.

In the conflict of Chioamauga, the lattor Goneral lost sixteen thousand men, and came very nearly losing the position for which his movemonta had boon so splendidly mado. Had ft portion of the forces of GKANT been sent to him at the proper time, instead of having been sent to Texas, or in some other direction of no importance, tho battles of Chicainauga would probably liavo terminated differently, and tho heavy loss of the Federal army havo beeu saved. The army of ROSECRANB haa tunc beon mado the most formidable which has yet boon commanded on this continent, but it should have been made so three montlm earlier.

But tho call of tho President does not indicate any extraordinary urgency for troopa at this hour for the purposo of strengthening the Federal armiea, but it 'coins to contemplate moro particularly tho expiration of tho time for which a largo portion of our troops were recruited, and to prepare against the emergency which will then arise.

In a war of the magnitudo of tho present ono, all operations connected with it aro necessarily slow, and tho conflict will, in all probability, last a year longer, and perhaps for a still greater period. Of course the Government will keep its armies in the field until the conflict eloses favorable to itself.

Under this call the quota'of Indiana will at an early day bo announced. But the late arrangements of Gov. MORTON- to raise fifteen additional regiment® wi:t not be interfered with in any manner, and our quota will not exceed that uumber. If the quota of each State is not forthcoming by the first week in anuary the draft will be resorted to as a means of filling the requirement.

It becomes the duty of all patriotic men te use everv energy to assist tho authorities in raising the number required by the President's call. It will, without any kind ol donbt, be the last and final call for troops, for the rebellion must soon fail beyond possibility. Its strength is almost exhausted, and one more gigantio effort by the Federal Govornment must aud icill crush tho power, which has for three years past, filled the land with mourning, aud disturbed the business relations of two continents.

Tho movements of Gen. Lme near Washington will seoessarily be of short duration, and can be of no commercial advantage to the confederate cause. But the movement* which Gens. ROSKCRANB and GRANT will at an early day make, will doubtless result in irre-

By accidental assignment, Gen. CRUIT'S brigade fought under Gen. THOMAS during the whole fight and the world knows the splendid Yalor of his command, and the daring of its achioYements.

The Removal of Gen. Rosecraus.

The New York Tribune has information from Washington which it considers reliable, to the effect that General ROSXORAKS ia to be superseded as commander of the Army of the Cumberland.

Wo4trust this information will prove incorrect. It such, however, is the case, the oause for such a course by the War Depart* ment must have originated in tho General's conduct during the battles of Chiokamauga. But it will be hard to make the oountry be lieve that General RoscoaANsdid not perform the part of a wise, skillful, and bravo commander, not only during the conflict, but in all his movements which led to the taking of Chattanooga.

Should he be removed, Ganeral GRANT will doubtless be his successor. The latter General has met with eminent success in all his military movements, and haa accomplished the most important results, but he has not' by any means demonstrated his uperiority over General ROSSORANS, in meeting the enemy in the field, and fighting with a persistency which. leads to victory over stubborn and deperate foe«:

We have confidence, however, in the President, and beliove that should he remove General ROSSCRANS, he will have some satisfactory reason for doing so. It is to be hoped, however, that the report is unfounded, but the fact that General GRANT has gene to Chattanooga tends to give it credit.

A Bold Consul.

The British Consul at Savannah ia having a controversy with Gov, BROWN of Georgia, on the impressment of British citizens in the Rebel army, in which his rebel excellency is told some plain troths. In one of his letters Mr. FULLBRTON says:

Her Majesty's Government considers that the plainest notions of reason and justice forbid that a foreigner, admitted to reside for peaceful purposes in a Statt jorming part of aftdtral Union, Bhould be compelled by that State to take an active part in hostilities against other States which, when he became a resident, were members of the same confederacy. While acknowledging the right of the State, under present circumstances, to the services of British subjects for patrol or police duty, her Majesty's Government objects to any further extension of such service. 1 have, consequently, under instructions, felt myself compelled to advise those drafted to acquiesce in the duty until they are required to loave their immediate homei, or to meet tho United States' forces in actual conflict in that event to throw down their arrnt and rofuse to render a servico, the performance of which would run directly in the teeth of her Majesty's proclamation, and render them liablo to the severe penalties denounced against a violation of the strict neutrality so strongly insiited on in that document.

Hero it will be seen that the British Consul tells Governor BROWN to his face that Georgia is still a part of the Federal Union, and that British subjects forced into the Rebel army have been instructed to throy down their arms rather than to contend against the United States soldiers. And he elsewhere says he ia authorized to say that in case these romonstrances fail, "the Governments in Europo interested in this question will unite in making such representations as will socure to aliens this desired exemption." These must be bitter observations to Gov. BROWN, but it may do him good to digest them.

The Ironsides.

Mr. Fuller, editor of the Baltimore American, who is now corresponding with that paper from Charleston, describes a visit to the noble Ironsides, the grandest man of war afloat: "I had the pleasure yesterday of a visit to the Ironsides, and of an inspection of her interior. She is undoubtedly tho best and most powerfully armored vessel that has yet been constructed, and the nation may be well Batisfied those now building of the same class, though differing in plan, have as many excellencies and so few defects. Had we now two other such vessels capable of the same service as the Ironsides, the problem of taking Charleston would be of comparative easy solution. There is not a rebel battery on these shores which the Ironsides cannot in one hour's firing completely silence. During the attack on Morris Island she drove the gunners from the guns at Wagner half a score of times, and quieted Gregg with a broadside. At the last general bombard ment she did the same at Moultrie, and if the way was cleared from obstructions, I believe she could Bteam with impunity up to Charleston, and conquer the city by her impregnability and pondereus broadsides.

In all her service here not a man has been killed or wounded by the enemy on board of her, notwithstanding she has at times been under the concentrated fire of the rebel batteries at twelve hundred yards distance.— From stem to stern she bears the *cara and deep indentions of the enemy's balls, but as yet her defensive strength haa been uninjured. whilst her offensive power Ia increased through pratice and the perfect safety which the crew feel when she ia in fighting trim.— Each broadside of the Ironside consists of aeveu 11-inch Dahlgren guns and one 200 pound rifled Parrott. The weight of metal thrown by her from one broadside fire is within a fraction ot fifteen hundred pounds, or three thousand pound for both broadaides.— Ne vessel that has ever yet been in action haa thrown an eqnal weight of metal, and it is yet to be proven that the armament of the Ironsides haa not reached the extreme range to which the caliber of gone can be taken without detracting from their eerriceeblenees and capability forjictive firing. As it Is, however, the Ironsides is undoubtedly the pride of our Iron-clad navy, and we can only regret that w# have no others of equal powi ere of defense and offense."

OAIRO, Oct. 20.—The steamer Anglo Saxon and Sunny Side, with 250 bales of cotton, arrived yeiterday.

The Memphis Bulletin of the 17th, gives additional particulars of tho military operations on Memphis &: Charleston Railroad.

Our force at Collierville was less than five hundred, without artillery, commanded by Lieut. James, of the 3 United States Cavalry, and member of General Sherman 'a staff, and not Sherman himself, as previously reported. Opposed to us were eleven rebel regiments, under Chalmers and Richardson, numbering, it is said, 8,000, with 9 pieces of artillery. Our loss was fourteen killed and 94 wounded and missing. Rebel loss about 150. During the pursuit of Chalmers by Col. Hatch, the latter came up with tho former at Ingraham's Mill, three miles south of Bayhalia, where after two hours fight the rebels were dislodged from a very strong position, their guns being advantageously posted, and their infantry well coverod. The position was carried by Ool. Phillips brigade, the 7 th ill. and 7th Kansas leading the charge. The enemy lost upwards of fifty killed and wounded. They then retreated 30 miles south, to Tallahatchie, where bo took a strong position near a littlo town called Wyatt. Deep trenches have been mado ontirely around the town and reinforcements had arrived. The enemy occupied the river side with 3,500 to 4,000 men and 9 pieces of artillery.

Col. Hatch had about 2200 men, two brigades under Col. Phillips, Col. Merrier's and 8 pieces of artillery in tho centre. Tho ene my made two desperate charges on our right and loft which was ropulsed with considerable loss, they leaving their dead in our hands. Night coming on, the battle ceased, but about 9 o'clock Col. Hatch charged on the

During six day's fighting and skirmishing from the battlo of Collioraville to this last affair, about six hundred rebels were killed, a largo number takon prisoners, and a considorablo quantity of arms captured.

Little Rock advices to the 14th say that tho rebel army is scattered in every direction and an extraordinary revival of Union sentiment has taken place among the people. Over a thousand men joined the Federal army at Littlo Rock, and people aro coming in daily and taking the oath of allegiance.

FROM NEW YORK.

NKW YORK October 20,— Tho PoBt's Washington lottor lias a rumor that one corps of Lee's army bos gone to Chattanooga, but there are no actual facts upon which to make Buch a statement.

There is talk in military circles of an early repeal of tho three hundred dollar section of the conscription act, by Congress. This will bo urged in December, and it is not improbable that in the next draft exemption by money will bo impossible. Somo persons advoceto a now law fixing the exemption price aB high as $600 or oven $1,500, and providing that drafted men who go to tbe army shall receive the money fo raised in their districts. This scheme is said to have originated with Mr. Chase.

WasiniieTOx, October 30.—The Government has official advices from Genoral Burnside that his marches and victories in East Tennessee and Virginia are eminently satisfactory, and that in almost every case tho rebels have boen whipped and routed.

Gejieral Burnside declaroa that tuere is not a more loyal people living than arofonnd in East Tennessee.

An amended circular has been pent out from tho Provost Marshal General's office, by which it appears that for every recruit who is a veteran volunteer, a bounty and protsium amounting to $402 will bo paid nnd to all others not veterans $302. These are for tho old organizations. The object is to encourage volunteering, as those who aro draftod recoivo only $100 bounty. Men enlisted under this order will be permitted to eelbct tbeir own regiments, which, howover, must bo one of tho old regiment now in the field.

Thox nas Jefferaon Boynton, late U. S. Attorney for the southern district of Florida^ was to-«day appointed Judge of tho same district, in place of Marion.

There seems to boa well founded bolief that, iJ any change shall be mado, General Grant will be the successor of Genoral Rosocrans.

T'oere is probably no truth in the rumor that General Meade is in hot pursuit of the rebels, or that they have reatreated beyond tha Rappahannock. 4

PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. WASHIXQTOX, Oct. 17.—The following proclamation has been issued by President Lincoln. rROCLAiTATION.

Whereas, the tennre of service of part of the volunteer forces of tbe United States will expire during tho coming year aed whereas, in addition to the men raised by the present draft, it is deemed expedient to call out three hundred thousand volunteers for three years or the war, not, however, exceeding three years

Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of tho United States, and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, therefore of the militia of the several States whon called into actual serAice, do issue this, my proclamation, calling upon the Governors of the different States, to raise and have enlisted into the United States service, for tho various companies and regiments in tho field, from their respective States, their quotas of 300,000 men. I further proclaim that all the volunteers that are called out and duly enlisted, shall recoivo pay, pension and bounty as heretofore communicated to the Governors of the States, by the War Departmenf through the Provo9t Marshal General's offiee, by special letter.

I furthor proclaim that all volunteers received under this call, as well aa all others not heretofore credited shall be duly credited and deductod from quotas established for the next draft.

I further proclaim if any State shall fail to raise tho quotas assigned to it by tho War Department under this call, then a draft for tbe deficiency in said quota shall bo made in the State, or in the districts of said State for their duo proportion of said quota, and the aid draft shall commence on tho fifth day of Sanuary 1864.

I further proclaim that nothing in this proclamation shall interfere with existing orders, or with those which may be issued for tho present draft in the States where it is not yet boen commenced.

The quotas of tho States and districts will be assigned by the War Department through the Provost Marshal's office, duo regard being had for the men heretofore furnished, whether by volunteering or drafting, and the recruiting will be condneted in wccordanco with such instructions as bavo been, or may be issued by that Department. In issuing this proclamation I address myself uot only to tho Governor's of the several States, but also to the good and loyal people thereof, in voking their cbeorful and effective aid to the measures thus adopted with a view to reinforce our victorious armies now in the field, and bring our military operations to a prosporous end, thus closing forever tho fountains of sedition and cruel war.

In witness whoroof I haveborounto set my band, and caused tho seal of the United States to bo affixed.

Dono at the city of Washington, this I7th day of October 1663, and of tho Innepondonce of the United States tho 88th year. [Signed,] ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

Here ia an interesting dialogue between a Mississippi darkey, with awfully large fest, and a soldier:—

Soldier—"Say, can you danco Y" NjCgro—"No, sah," Soldier—"Well, what do you do with those feet, then

Negro—"Dam (looking doviyj) Oh, 1 walks wid dem." Soldier—"Well, what do you do with them at nights 1"

Negro—"Do wid 'urn nights? Why—why —what does you all want to know what I does wid 'um night for 1"

Soldier—"Why, I wanted to know wliother you leave them out doors or sleep with tbem."

Negro—"Why. I sloops wid 'em, ob course." Soldier—"Do you sleep with them one at a time, or bring them both Into the same bed V"

Negro—"Ob course I gets 'em bof into de same bed." "And sleep on the floor yourself?" pursues tbe inquiring soldier.

This last is a Trifle too broad, and the darkey commencee to suspect the soldior is quizzing him, and the boys, noticing that he wavers, give vent to the long-suppressed laughter in shouts which mado everthing ring.

KIERINU THE SABBATH.—The follow m0M* picture of the method adopted by many of|}( spending the Sunday in Detroit, which we copy from the Free Prtss, Is an accurate in", many particulars as if drawn on a plo««»nt Sabbath in other placoa than Detroit-.

Sunday, as usual, brought with it a general auspension of business except in the liquor traae. Lager beer by the hogsbssd saw tbr aun rise that day for the last timo- The drf ferent gardens in the city wherfl this floioia retailed were filled to their utmost capacity, and only vacated when the supply run sift. The physical system of many were ao completely spiritualized that they became obliv ious of all things earthly, and only thonght of lager. Crowds gathered around tables luxuriously set forth with limburger, -eourkrout, pretzels, switser kase and lager, to discuss the welfare of the nation inDatch, and occasionally curse the revenue ta in English.

Mothers, desirous of giving their children a little recreation, after a week's confine ment in tbe close air of the city, among narrow streets, and in unwholesome alleyB, take them to those gardens where fresh air is to be had, combined nth sound moral influen ces, and witness thnr innocent gambols thro' the bottom of arflaaB, gently tapping them on the head, wien importuned for a drop of the ambor liqrJr that Imparts such a healthy flush to their heeks ana ruddy hue to their nasAl organ.

Evenings, ifter too mueli haa been imbibed to make Toomotion graceful, the men roll into differen music halls, and there listen to tho sweet tnjlody of sacred music on a horn, occasionally varying tho monotony by taking 4 one themselves. At twelve o'clock or later, they adjourn and awake in the morning invigorated by tho bealthy exerciso of tbe previous day, and willing to labor another week for the pleasure of earning enough to live through another Sabbath.

McssngR of a trying Soldier to hi* Family. The following extract is from a letter of a private soldior, who enlisted in the 8f»th Regiment, at this place. Hia name was ASA S. MASON. He waseaptured by the rebeln with somo others, at Thompson's Station, in Tennessee^ and takes tbencoto Lynchburg, Va., where he died on tbe 36th of March.

Just previous to his death ho dictated the following message to his family, which we are requested to publish:

Dear Wife and Children—I cannet hope to see you again, and will have a few line* written to you by one of ray nearest friend.*, who has remained with me during my sickness. My highest desiie would bo to *ee you all, bat I must soon moot death, and arn willing to die. I yield my life, like thousands of others, in a glorious cause. I have lived a defoted Christian, and prayed for you all oontonally. Educate my children, and learn them to love their country and l»« Christians, f*" ...
