CINCINNATI, Jan. 14.—Private advic*s from Chattanooga indicate the concentration of large forces in front of Foster, in East Tennessee, and Gratt, at Chattanooga. It is believed that the campaign will open with an attempt to recover Knoxville, and that the bulk of Lee’s army will be transferred to thatarmy, Lee him:elf taking the general command of the Western armies. This being 8 correct supposition, it is not im- probable that the rebel cupitol wili be removed farther South, and its defence entrusted to a strong garrison, while concentration for offen- sive operetions takes place inthe West. Ail the signs indicate this as the probable move- ment for the spring. General Grant left for Nashville, with a view, ii said, to prepare for the great conflict in East Tennessee. Carro, Jan. 12.—President Lincoln's last prociamution was better received than those preceeding it, and has been extensively pub- lished. Our informant thinks that @ m sjority of the people of Northern Mississippi and Geor- gia would side with ‘he Union bat for the rescence of armed Rebels. General Polk is at randon, Mississippi, in the absence of Joe Johnston. Forrest lately moved westof Holly Springs with 3,060 or 4,000 men. He has sent as mapy men Ssuth to be armed. Ferguson is in command at Luxahoma and Sardis with 2,210 tollowers. The Jews are leaving the Confederacy as fasts they can be furnished with papers by the quasi. Government, taking all the goid they ean procure. Qne of them lately paid 33,v00in Confederate money for $100 in gold. The report comes to Memphis, though it is not generally cretited, that the rebels have late- ly moved upon and cap*ured Pine Biutt, Ar- kansas. There are no particulars pretended to be turniehed.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 14—The Legisiatare of Kentucky yesterday passed bill prohibiting the importation of slaves into that State, The in- fiux of slaves bas had the effect of cheapening the price os the stock on haud and overflowing the market. A new and well executed counterfeit five on the State bank of Indiana has appeared. The police have made numerous arrests. The or- ‘anizition to circulate it exiends all over the Wee. The 44th Ohio, numbering 661 men, has re-enlisted en masse for the war. A Government Arrest in New York.

The rapid epread of eruptive contagious diseases renders some section on your part imperatively necessary, and must be my apology for calling your at- tention to this subject. Very respecitnlly, - & Richard WaLLaen, Mayor As an additional precautionary measure the necessity of immediate vaccination was urget upon the community through the daily news- papers, and the notice given toall unable to pay thatemch cervice would be gratuitously pei fcrmed by any of the several ward physi- cians ot this corporation, and in the short period of five months uo less than twenty-two hun- dred and eighty were attended to atan expense to theeity of €114¢, or fifty cents in each case, in addition to the annual compensation of tha physicians. Since then the conncils, as necessity required, have made appropriations of money for the enlargement of accommodations, and the care and treatment of such cases, and for that pur- pose have spent during this time $4,s1¢ 275 provided for the appointment ot another m-d- ical officer, whose exclusive duty it isto attend to diseases of that Kind, and taken care o: persons disposed to avail themselves of it, whether citizens or transients, and all follow-rs end attaches of the army other than enlisted men cr volunteers. Until lately the general Government mide no provision of this kind for certam emp!uy- ees and attaches of the a y (anentisted men) engaged in Various capacities in and abuat th: ifcations and other places: persons (so!- diers) once in service and discharged, and con- trabands (negroes) who having been in gervi-o of individuals had forfeited its protection aud were no longer entitled to be provided These, together with the vast nux wivisand children who to bands and parents.

Fearful that the reply of that o‘licer might not be satistactory, I addressed within two days thereafter the Se ‘yof War, and re- ceived from the War Depariment the subjoined avswer, from which )ou will perceive that not only has every possible precaution to prevent the spread of the contagion been taken, but likewise ample provision inade forthe care and treatment of all cases that may occur.

This direction has been given in order to prevent the spread of tt. ease, as the Surgeon Generzl reports tha: provision has been made for the care ot a who have any claim on the United whether white or colored soldiers, ployees. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Ep. M. Canny, Brigadier General, A. A. @. Unfortunately there is no provision tor tha & class of persons whose means enable them to dispense with the gratuity of the Federal Gov- ernment or Corporation, and as there is no ower in either to force their removal to the ospitals, they remain in families in the most populated portions of the city, eccasioning we spread of the disease and creating alarm. Very respectfully your obedient servant, RichaRp WaLtacu, Mayor. Mr. Lovejoy seposien from the committee the following resolution: Resolved, That in the judgment of this House it would be advisable, as a precautionary measure against the spread of small- pox inthe District, for the city authorities of Georgetown and Washington to furnish to all the families in said cities the means of vaccination at their places of residenge, and at the public expense where individuals are nnable or unwilling to defray the expense as a private charge, and that they require such children as for any reason have failed to be vaccinated, > absent themselves from the public schools until they shall have complied with the requi- sitions of the city government in this respect, and it is repectfully recommended to the authorities of said cities to take immediate ac. tion in this direction. The resolution was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Loyejoy, the Commitve for the District of Columbia was discharged from the further consideration of the subject. “THe FLowinG Bowl,” in whose - raise.
