The States which Mr. Etheridge last night declared in writing his determination to disfranchise, on the ground that their credentials do not follow the phraseology of this law of the last session, in that they read that so and so were "duty elected," instead of "elected in accordance with the laws of the State," are Vermont Maryland, Western Virginia, Virginia, Oregon, Missouri, and California.

ngton telegrams, dated Sunday, and published in the Tribune, we get some idea of the boiling of this kettle of fifth in the Yankee Capitol: Over ninety Republican Union members of the House of Representatives, including two from Kentucky, Messrs. Smith and Anderson; three from Maryland, Messrs. Winter Davis, Creswell, and Thomas--all three from West Virginia, and one from Virginia, Joseph Segar, met in caucus last night. The Hon. Justin P. Morrill presided, and Messrs. Rollins, of New Hampshire, and Soyd, of Missouri, acted as Secretaries. The Hon. G. S. Orth, of Indiana, nominated the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of the State, for Speaker. The Hon. H M. Dawes, of Mass., nominated the Hon. Elihu. B. Washburne, of Illinois. Mr. Washburne declined the nomination, saying that the present situation of the country, when the Government was engaged in a gigantic struggle to crush out the red-handed and cruel rebellion, the wishes, and the interests, and desires of all loyal men should be s

to nothing else. Without anybody to annoy their flanks Grant and Thomas will now be free to turn their attention to making this the depot for future operations, which will be postponed not a day longer than is practicable to resume them. Tennessee is now permanently free from the rebels, for what force there may have been opposed to Burnside will make good their exit soon or not at all. Among the immediate consequences of this great achievement will be practically a large increase oand lodged in the Old Capitol prison. On Saturday night Capt. C. B. Ferguson, of the regular army, Cluel Quartermaster of Alexandria, was also arrested and sent to the Old Capitol.--These frauds have all been unearthed since Gen. Meigs went to Tennessee. An order has been issued by Gen. Butler permitting trade with Norfolk, but requiring of all persons who obtain a permit to take to or from that city and department any goods or merchandize to pay a duty of one per cent, upon the value of

He commences on the negro exchange question.--He says the United States is bound to protect its negro soldiers, and that the South does not recognize them as soldiers. He "knows" of two Mas- sachusetts negro soldiers who have been sold into slavery in Texas, and one negro chaplain who is still in jail at Columbia, S. C. It appears that be has applied for men who he does not know to be in the United States service: Within the past few days, upon a formal application made by Gen. Meredith, at my instance, to learn the history of two men who reported in be and are believed to be, officers of the Federal army, said to be in the hands of the enemy. Mr. Ould furnishes to General Meredith what purported to be the proceedings of a civil court in the State of Virginia, the testimony in the cases not being

oint not much nearer. Had Chattanooga, which must be his depot, a six months supply, the case would be different. Here we come back to the cause of the wretched generalship immediately succeeding the battle of Chickamauga. There are physical impossibilities, and some of the things that will be expected of Gen. Grant will doubtless be found to be among them. The General who has done so much will do all he can. This is worth bearing in mind. The Yankees claim that in the repulse near Ringgold, by Cleburne, they lost only 800, but give a list of seventy-four commissioned officers killed and wounded, one of the killed being Acting Brig. Gen. Creighton. Washington politics — the caucus for Speaker of the House — Emerson Etheridge Obstreperous. The Yankees are having the usual excitement in the Congress at Washington over the election of Speaker. It seems that Etheridge, the traitor, don't pull in the right direction, and that he has nearly sided with the Copperheads. Fro

reat. Here, according to the writer, thus lost 384 men, exclusive of the cavalry losses, which had not been reported. On the night of the 17th Burnside reached Knoxville, and at 11 o'clock next morning Long street's forces were deployed on the Kingston road and opened fire. Desultory artillery firing continued until 3 o'clock in the day, when a brigade of Confederates advanced and drove the Federal from Tape Hill. It was here that Gen. Sanders, the Yankee commander, was killed. The Yankee l. He was not disturbed in his work. Writing on the 19th, the correspondent says: The morning was smoky, so that little could be seen at daylight, but at sunrise a line of earth works was discovered across a plowed field to the left of the Kingston road, within a thousand yards of our position. The enemy's skirmishers had crept up to a wooded ravine running transversely across our western front, directly at the foot of the long slope, at the top of which stand our entrenchments.--They als

The credentials of Kansas and Missouri are not yet field according to Mr. Etheridge. Mr. Etheridge has also acknowledged that although he received some credentials in a defective form a month ago, he neglected to apprise those interested of the fact until last Friday (day before yesterday). He promised yesterday, in the presence of several members to abide by the decision of the Attorney General on the validity of the disputed question. As to what will be the upshot of the matter, difference of opinion exists. Some

de's old signal stations and have a fine view of all our movements. From Chattanooga — the victory of Lookout Mountain. The Northern papers generally do not boast much over the Lookout Mountain fight. They look upon the resistance made by the Confederates as too feeble to command any respect, or to boast of having overcome. The Yankee loss is estimated at 4,500 during all the fighting. The Chattanooga correspondent of the New York Tribune says: Those who to-day visited Missionary Ridge were astounded. Had 5,000 lives been the forfeit it would have been considered cheap, to say nothing of the other advantages won. While the during of our men in making the assault will stand without a parallel, I think there is an element in that splendid achievement to be attributed to the fact that the rebels had no heart to make the defence they might have made. I can attribute our small loss and the precipitate flight of the enemy to nothing else. Without anybody to annoy th
