E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. TOWANDA : Thursday Morning, January 2,1862. THE LATEST WAS NEWS. The news from Missouri contains intelligence of another success for the Union arms. On Saturday Gen. Prentiss, with four hundred and fifty men, dispersed nine hundred rebels under Col. Dorsey, at Mount Sion, Boone eonnty, killing and wounding one hundred and fifty, and taking thirty-five prisoners, ninety five horses aud one hundred and five guns, with a tow on onr side only three killed acd eleven vroanded. The rebels are coutinning their depredation on the North Missouri Rail road. They bnrned another train on Satur day, and they boast that they will destroy ev ery car on the road. Hon. Alfred Ely arrived at Washington at 1 o clock on Friday evening, from Baltimore, and proceeded at once to Willard's, where he was immediately recognized and warmly wel comed by a large number of frieuds. His ro bast appearance would hardly indicate that he bad been five months a prisoner <sf war.— After a half hoar of hearty haud Fhaki"g, he retired to his room at Willard's, accompanied by his brother and Hon. John B. Haskin. The provisions ol the bill for promoting the efficiency of the Navy by retiring all officers who have been m service forty five years, re cently passed by Cougress aud approved by the President, effect for.y-nine of onr commo dores, who are thos swept overboard The President, however with the consent of the Seoate. can continue in serviee ; aud it le nn d. rstood that he will thus continue Goidsbo rough. Dupout, McKean and Bell. We recce from Missouri a full confirms tioc of the report that Friee and his rebel ar my are again ou the full retreat in the direc tioo of Arkansas—this time, probaolv.tomake bit final exit from the State. His command is stated to have been throwr into the great- | est consternatiou and confusion by the news of Gen. Pope's snccesses, and the retreat com menced almost immediately. So fearful was be of pursuit that he bnrned all the bridges as fast as bis army passed them, and placed ob 6tructions in the roads. Ho was last heard from at Springfield. Gen. Siegel, according to the Volksblatt of Cincinnati,threatens to resign unless his desire to be appointed commander of an independent division, numbering fifteen or twenty thousand men, is complied with. The Columbns,(o ,) Journal learns that sev eral regiments are now on their way from Pennsylvania to re-enforce Gen. Rosecran's ; force now at Romney. Geo. Reynolds' is to take the command of a forward movement from that poiut at once ; we may, therefore look for a concerted movement between his j command and Geu. Bunks' Division. Our advices from Fortress Monroe are to Thursday on which day a great quantity of clothing, destined for the National pri oners In the rebel States, wern forward to Norfolk by a flag of truce. The gunboat. Keystone > State has arrived at Old Point, after another I unsuccessful cruise after the pirate Sumter, \ having two cases of small pox on board. The > late skirmish at Newark Bodge, was quite a brik affair, in which the rt-he* lost, iD ki'led I and wounded, some twenty hve or thirty meu , A correspondent at Halteras Inlet describes the condition of the National troops tuere as wretched. But few of them are sheltered in barracks, and nearly all of Col Hawkius'Reg fmeul are in old tents, —consequently the healb of the command is very bad. It is undoubt edly necessary that the place should he held, in order to prevent its becoming once more the harbor o? rebel pirates, bet the health and ef fectiveness of the troops holding it seems to depend upon tbeir being frequently changed In anticipation of an attack by the rebels, which has been recently threatened, prepara tions for defence have been made additionally to those at the Inlet A Dew cauip has been established several miles up the Island, and extra fortifications have been erected. Our troops are expecting an attack immediately by an expidition known to have been fitted oat ftt Norfolk. Dispatches from the National army officers in New Mexico have been received in Wash ington, which indicate that the Union causes ia prospering there. Forts Craig and Stan ton, OD the Mesil'a Border,have been retaken from the Texans bv Col. Carey, in command of that Military Department, and Fort Fill more was expected to be in his possession soon. Thence Col. Carey intended to match into Ar izona with sufficient force to drive ont the reb els. The Indians for the greater part arc peace ablr, and friendly to the Governmeat. There Ii a prospect tbut the Terriorial Legislature will repeal the Slave Code passed two years ago, Gov. Couuolly haviug recommended socb actions. THB PEATU OF H R. 11. PRIXCE ALBERT. — RJ the Prsi* we. BASE tidings of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, Puke of Sees Cobarg Gotba, ike., which took place in London, on the i otbjnst.. after a ci;ef illness, which was not until two days be fore it resulted in death, ills disease was gastric fever. Prince Albert was a Christian and a gentleman as well as a Prince, and was more illostrioa* by bi r. r te than .by his RELEASE Or MASON AN]) SLIDELL MA3ON en J SUDKLL.were released from Fort Warren, on the 29th olt. No official action ha been bad in relation to their surrender. It does not seem probable that Lord Lyons will pat them on board a British war vessel, as his government docs not regard the persons of the rebel emissaries as of any importance, but merely looks to the principle of the right of s°arch involved in their captnre, and settled by their surrender. It is likely that they will go to Europe in a Cunard steamship which leaves Boston on the Bth of January. If, however, after their release they shall be found ou Unit ed States soil, they will be subject to arrest by the United States Marshal, as traitors to the government. HEAVY SHIPMENTS or ARM* FROM Ersora. —The Hamburg steamer Tuetonia which ar rived at New York ou Tuesday, biought over seventy five thousand 6tand of arms, principal ly rifles, for the government. The arras are of various kinds ; a few of them are old muskets but nearly all are new and excellent terms.— The largest proportion of this shipment was procured in Austra. The arms are consigued to many different houses. The steamship Hansa, of the Bremen line, also brings to this port a cargo quite as large, a portion of tbern from France and England. The steamer Damascus, recently from Liv erpool, is now discharging a quantity of arms and lead. Of the former there are only a few thousand stand—less than five ; but there are one hundred of ingot lead, each cask weighing fourteen or fifteen hundred pounds. It is estimated that nearly a quarter of a mil lion 6tand of arms have been brought to this country during the past four monts by the Hamburg line of steamships. Besides the3e, a large amount of war material, including infan try and infantry equipments,have beeu import ed from Europe The Bremen line, which has kept up a monthly communication,has of course, through some of the cargoes have been verv large brought a less number. But during the four or five mouths past, it has undoubtedly brought a hundred aud filty tbouaaud stand, besides equipments. THE TEA, SCGAR AND COFFEE TAX BILL The new bill passed by both Houses of Con gress provides that, in lieu of the duties now imposed on those articles, there shall be col lected the following duties : Ist. Ou all teas twenty cents per pound. 3d. On raw sugar, commonly called muscovado or brown sugar, OD sugar not advanced above No. 12. (Dutch standard) by claying, boiling, clarifying, or other process, and on syrup or sugar-cane, and concentrated molasses or concentrated malado, two and a half cents per pontid, on white and clayed sugar, when advanced beyond the raw state above No. 12 (Dutch standard) by clari fying or other process and not yet refind,three cents per pcond ; ou refind sugars, whether loaf, lump, g'ound, or pulvt. .zed, five cents per pound ; on sugars after being refined, when thry are tinctured, colored, or in any way adulterated, and on sugar candy, eight cents per pound ; on molasses, six cenes per gallon, but all syrups of •ugar or sugar caue , concentrated molasses or concentrated maiarto entered -nder the name of molasses or any other name than syrup of scgar or of sugar cane, concentrated malado, are liable to for feiture to the United Stales, and are to be forfeited The bill takes effect from its pas sage. f&'The Fortress Monroe correspondent of etb Baltimore American gives currency to the as sertion that Ex Minister Faikner actnaullj carried dispatches from his colleagues in Fort Warren to the rebel authorities at Richmond, and that he coacealed several in the stem of his large pipe, and put a number in the shape and likeness of cigars. Rev Mr. Miner, Chaplain of the Second Maine Regiment, who has recently been re leased hv the rebels, siate that thre was no such officer as Lieut, liurd attached to that corps ; so that the story regarding Col Cor corans' escape may be set down as an in vention. THE Irish inhabitants of Montreal held a meeting on Monday week to consider the propriety of raising a miiitian baltahou for the British service, and D'Arcy McGee and others spoke in favor of the movement. The meeting was very boysterons, and considerable opposition was made by the Irishmen present Cheers were given for Thomas Francis Meager and for the Sixty-niuth New York Regiment, und a good deal of sympathy was exhibited for the American cause. When McGee pro fessed extra loyality to England the audience m*de some very -harp and cutting retorts. It is evident that England cannot depend posi tively on her Irish subjects iD the provinces. The Hon. Mr Ely, recently released from imprisonment in Richmond, and now in Washington, has prepared and furnished the press with a list of the Union prisoners in the bands of the rebels, giving the designation of company and regiment,where from,and present location of each man. _ COUNTERFEITING CONFEDERATE TREASURY NOTES —Somebody has been counterfeiting Confederate Treasury Notes. This is truly awful, but the South will hardly accuse a Yankee of committing that crime ; thev are too sharp to engage in any snch losing transac tion. But the question is, what should be done with 90 base a criminal ? Is there any punishment sufficiently degrading? If there be a penaly for stealing the coppers off the eyes of a dead contraband, let it be visited fourfold npon bim. If the South cannot in vent a punishment sufficiently degrading, let htm be sent North and uompelled to take the ->nfb of s'legiance Army Correspondence. CAMP BARRY, WASHINGTON, I December 20, 1861. | E. 0: GOODRICH, ESQ — Dear Sir; — Belie ving that you would like to hear now and then from your friends in the array, and knowing that almost anything from the seat of war wilt be of some interest to the readers of the Re porter, I sit down to give yon a brief sketch of tbe condition and movements of our troops ou the Potomac, as I understand them. Having had only a little over three months experience in military life, and being hemmed up in Camp nearly all the time, my knowledge of tbe ac tual condition of our whole army of the Poto mac is very limited. I have tbe honor of be longing to Battery F., Ist Light Artillery, N. Y. Y., commanded ly Capt. W. R. WILSON, from Wells. He is aQ able aud experienced officer. Our Battery forms part of the reserve corps under Gen. BARRY, and we hold ourselves rea dy for a f rward movement on short notice. But I think the probabilities are we shall re main here this winter We are eucamped on Capital Hill, about one mile east of the Capi tol. We have a sightly and healthy location. About a mile south of us is the eastern bank of the Potomac, with a long range of ever green hills, lining its southern bank, on the top of which are several forts of earthwork— one of which was built by the " Sickles Brig ade." And to the west we have a flue view of the city of Washington, and in the back groung the pine clad hills of the " Old Domin. ion," while on the north and east are good looking farms and comfortable dwellings. But almost every available spot of land within five mile 6 of us is used as encarnpmeuts for some of the volunteers. From the Dome of the Capi tol we can see Fort Corchran, U- ton's Hill, Fall's Church, and several other military Forts in Virginia. Wo can see from our Camp the 1 the encampments of about 30,000 men, now, and about that number have crossed into Vir ginia, passing by our Camp, since we have been here. Yesterday, the Artillery and Cavalry of Gen MFAGHKR'S Irish Brigade encamped along side of up. Uncle Srm's powder burns freely in this latitude, and his 32 pounder Pur rot Brass guns speak in thunder tones, and should it ever be our lot to meet the rebels, our frie'e's shall not blush for our cowardice, though th y may look in vain for our return. There is no alternative, we have got to figlu this rebellion down, and the sooner we com- 1 meuce in earnest, the better. Every month's delay weakens the influence of our Govern ' ment with the Powers of Europe, and r-n °ngti;- ens that of the Rebels. 1 can see nothing i be gained by this " trailing policy. 1 I don't like the cowardly ery of " no more B ill Run disasters" whet: ever a forward movement is suggcs.td ; give us an opportunity and sober, competent officers, and 1 will guaranty that the "Dull' runs to Richmond next time. We have got to leach Dixie's land of arrogance and pride, a lesson of humiliation ; for these j South era rebels are so thoroughly and entail- Plastically deluded that they will mnkp a des perate resistance to what they call " Northern Oppression," and if the old Proverb " Whom the God'* will to destroy they hist make mad'' be t rue, these rebtis will soon expire of their Own innate malice. But. we shall not leave ! them with the Gnds for chastisement. The Ibiu inst., there was a skirmish i Mumphrey's Ford. ia which 09 rebels were kil'ed and wnuuded, and among thtP one Co lonel, one Captain and one Lieutenauf. Our loss was 20 wonnded, and 7 of them mortally ; and, yesterday, the rebels attacked Col. GEART'S Camp, 28th Pa Regiment, at the Point of Rocks They had with tbera a battery of four gtins, and opeied fire on Col. GEARY'B Camp about 10 o'clock. They were replied to by two guns, the first shot disabling one of the rebel guns, and iu half an hour they were driveu buck, with a loss of 14 killed and many wounded. Col. GEARY did not lose a man. Testerday, Sergeant HENRY ADAMS, (Capt. GORE'S Company,) 6th Pa. Regiment, paid a risk to our Camp, and staid wkh us over night lie reports all quiet in Gen M'CALL'S Division, Fairfax couuty, \ a., and no prospect of an immediate change. Battery B, (Capt. PETTIT,) of our Regiment, has marching ordeis, and goes into Virginia, the 33d inst. Buttery E, of our Regiment, (Capt FRANK,) went into Virginia about two weeks ago ; and, beyond doubt, it will be our turn next. There has been several cases of small pox in our Regiment, and one in our Battery. As a general thing the health of the troops is good. And, we have no reason to complain of our usage, unless it should be sleeping out, in these little pent up tents, with out any stoves ; but the weather here has bceu so warm and pleasant that we could tru iv sing with the poet, " Deqfmber's as pleasant as May." Yours, Respectfully, NXWELL LEONARD. SAVAGE WARFARE— The Louisville Journal publishes the following: " Colonel Hiimpherv Marshall, ic a recent letter to the Nashville Louisville Courier, 'asks for a few hundred of Buckuer's Cherokee Indi ans to be sent to liiin to fight the mountain eers." He dated his letter from Sounding Gap, and was advancing into the mouutaius of Ken tucky. " This call upon Genera! Buckner by one of the principal rebel officers in Kentucky estab lishes the fact, which has been faintly deuied by some of our secessionists, that the rebel au thorities have brought regiments of Indians into southern Kentucky to fight our people. It establishes the atrocious fact in such away that even the secessionists themselves canuot gainsay it. The deed is an outrage upon all the laws of civilized warfare, and those guilty of it should be outlawed by th# comtpon con sent of all civilized men."

Besides these seveial others were slightly wounded. Twelfth Pennsylvania Regiment, Col. T'ggart Only one iuan was wounded, viz; Wrn. R. Fox, ol Co. K, in the leg. Col Tom Taylor, commanding the Ken tucky Rebel Rifles, was killed, and his saddle j brought away by Col E-iston. Taylor, it will be recollected, occasioned much excite : ment at the commencement of the war by un expectedly appearing at Arlingiou with u flag of truce, and afterward brought to head quarters, at Washington, blindfolded, audi subsequently conveyed outside of the lines, j the oiiject of his mission, an exchange of pris oners, being unaccomplished. 1 he detachment from Gen McCall's division, which took part in the battle, did not arrive ' it Dra.aesville until about noon, ai .!. r 1 maiacd tbe tH two and a half o'clock, when J the enemy appeared in force, com Jag from tl • ! direction ot Ceiitreviile.

This *a niimed.alely responded lo by Ka ton's battery with oiaiked effect. I'lu infantry on each side soon engaged in the coofl.ct, mid a times they were i:-jl more than s v'y yards apart. Alter fighting abount an hour i -hell from our side exploded the ammunition of one ot the rebel s caisson*. m living tearful huVvc three of the rebels having t'leir heads com pletely blown oil and others being horribly mutilated Ai this time the enemy wavered, aid showed a disposition to ion, when Gen Ord truve the cofu&uud te charge, which was gallantly obeyed, and at once the rebels pre eipitately fled. They were pursued lor up ward of a mile, when'Oen. MeCall arriving on the ground, ordered a recall to be sounded.— Onr troops theu fell back to the position just vacated by the enemy. Twenty one of the wounded rebels received surgfal treatment from Dr Lowman and his assistants, having been tukeu into a neighbor iug house lor that pnrpOae. They wouht have been brought to Get). McCall's camp had the ambulances arrived iu proper time. Ail f oui men killed and wounded were, however, brought away. A large number of trophies were secured by our troops, such us swords, pistols and arms. In the pockets of the dead rebels were found Richmond papers of the 19th inst.; but they contained uo items of particular interest. Severnl letiers were found on the bodies of the rebel officers, showing the feeling of in tense hostility prevailing in the South. In oue of them, dated Ceutr ville, Dec. 19th, ud dressed to a friend, and but partly finished, it was said that it was impossible lor the fed erain to remain much longer iu their present position ; that the effect of the news from England, and the pressure of Congress would compel Gen. MvCiellau to advance, and, that iu such an event, a victory on the part of the confederates, iu their present po siiion, would be certain. During the stam pede of the rebels, eight of tliem were taken prisoners, and brought to Washington to day Tliey state that they left Ceutreville very early on Friday morning in order to obtain foruge, und very unexpectedly met with our troops, who had uroceeded to the same point on similar business. They also said there was a larger number of killed"on the part of the rebels, than we supposed. Three of the pris oners, who had become bewildered in the re treat, came up to one of our regiments, not knowing that they were federal troops, and in quired the direction to Centcrville, but instead of being taKen prisoners, they were showu the way to Washington. the victory on the part of our troops is considered the more brilliant, as they had nver belore been iu actiou. They have been highly complimented, both by Mai -Gen. McClellau and Gen. McCaU. Four companies of the Ist Pennsylvania Cavalry were also with the brigade, but trie condition cf the country was such, being thick ly wooded, that they could uot reuder service to the extent they desired. Gen. Ord, while passing through the woods duriug the actiou, lost his sword, but was ira mediately supplied with another, which had been taken from a dead rebel officer. WASHINGTON, I>EC. 27, LS6T. The Confederates,aggrieved at their defeat at Draiuesville, are anxious to draw our forces in to auother engagement, in the hope of better success. They have been largely reinforced and are using meaus to draw out the Federal troops. There is no disposition on the part of Gen. AICCAIX to avoid an encounter, and any j . t advance on the part of the rebels will certain ly result in auother engagement. The recent engagement at Drnioesville is acknowledged, as the fads have now been re ceived from both sides, to have taen oac of the best contested e .counters we have yet had with the eueray. Gen. STUART and some of hia officers showed a heroic spirit, and Colonel KANE says that he could distinctly hear the officers urging the rebel army ou to battle. One officer, he sajs, implored the men to rush forward ;.'>ut, oftrr using every argument in his power, they failed to obey, when the officer, in a last desperate effort to make bis men advance upon our troops. rushed forward himself, when he was shot down, and his men were immediately dispersed. Colonel KAN* says that a prompt obedience to the commauds and entreaties of rhat officer, ou the part of bis men, would probably have tamed the for tunes of the da" against us. So near were the two armies together, that Colonel KASR dis linctiy heard the order given by that rebel officer, to aim at the officer (Col KA.VK) lead iug on the liucktaiis; and be attributes his own escape from death on the field wholly to the bravery of his o'-s rper sinking terror into the ranks of t! e enemy and causing th"na to refuse to obey the orders of their couunader. It will cause no surprise to hear of sr.olh-r engagement at any moment in the vicinity of Drainesville. Our pickets ir> that direction were driven in yesterday, and the rebel* hive been largely strengthened.

Durbon, long a resident of our v Huge, was accidentally ki'led last night about five o'clock, by the locomo tive of the freight train going East Up to the time of Ins death, Mr. Durbon was engag ed teaching school at Weli.-burgh, in which capacity iie lias been engaged for some time pa>', his family residing in this place He started on toot about half past, four o'clock to come to Ewnra, and had reached the bridge uear Mr Mllbr's house, about one and a half uides east ol tins place, wtiere the freight train and the l)U"k rk Express going west generally meets, and it is supposed that while avoiding the Express train and not seeing the freight train coming was struck by the latter train. Ilis body was found this morning in the creek near the Bridge His umbrella was found sticking in the c w catcher of the freight engine. This terrible bereavement will fall with crushing effect upon the family circle of which the deceased was the honored head, and their grief will be doubly felt by the sudden anil tragical manner, of his death. Mr. Durbon was a man of fio titprary at taiinnents, of strict moral character, amiable in his maimers, and of a modest and retiring disposition—in life he had manv friends, in death he has many mourners.— Elmira Giz. MRS. DOUGLAS. \ ery few people indeed have been placed in a more trying position and sacrificed mote for the sake of the Union than has Mrs. Douglas. She has persistently refus ed?to entertain the proposition forwarded to her by specul messenger under a fl ig of truce from the Governor of North Carolina, asking that the two sous of the late Senator Douglas t>e sent South to save their extensive e3tate in Mississippi from confiscation If she refuses, a large property would be taken from the ciiil' dren, and, •ti tier present reduced cifcumstau ces. they may thereby eventually be placed in straitened circumstances Here, then, was an appeal made directly to her tender regard for them, wtuch, if she should refuse, would wotk disastrously against them in after yeura But her answer was worthy of herself "and of ber late distinguished husband. If the rebels wish to make a ar upon defenceless chddren.and take away the allot little orphan boys, it must bc SO ; but she could not for an instant think of surrendering them to the enemies of their coun try and of their father. His last words were : " Tell them lo obey the Const tution and the laws of the country," and Mrs. Douglas will not make herself the instrument of disobeying his dying injunction. The ehiluren, she says, belong to Illinois and most remain in the North Illinois and the North, we take it, will s ee to it that they are not sufferers by the devoted ness and patriotism of their mother. 5qU" Dr Robert J.
