PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DEC MBER 18, 1862. Wilkie Collins , new novel, curiously entitled " No Name," which hak been simultaneously published in Iflekens , All The Year Round, and IlarperTs Weekly (in the latter with original illustrations),' is nearly concluded. The present number of Ilaq)er , B Weekly contains the first portion of" Somebody's Luggage," being the Christmas ,number of Dickens' periodical. As far as we can judge• from the 'instalment thus placed before usi there is • a gOod deal of:" Bo' , iu this tale, or collection of tales strung • like 'pearls upon the thread, of a, slight connecting story. Of late years Dickens has generally had assistance in these Christmas - talessometimes has not written at all. Thatyery surprising Mrs. Henry Wocid, an Eng lishwoman of indepeudeni means, who has written over a dozen novels in thi last six years, and finally obtained reputation, sudden;,: but permanent, by " East Lynne,'' which has been dramatized by five dittbrent adapters, is winding up "'Kerr:lees Pride,” in °meld,. Week, (to be republished by Peter son,) and has just completed "Mrs. Halliburton's . Troubles,” another novel of society, which' Dick & Fitzgerald, of New York; - harc just,republishedx one Ir olume, avo., at one--fifteenth ofdlikEnglish price. D. & Frhave given a large sum!?forgadvance sheets, as Peterson has in the other instance, and thus can anticipateall•other publishers on this side of the water, We have only had time, as yet to glance , through it as we cut the pages, but could see that this was another story of English society—the story' of a widow, left with several_ children to bring up, and their father's' debts to pay, anddoing both, amid many struggles, with success and credit. When we' read the book, a peep into which has interested us much, we shall say more of Meanwhile, all the world may'read it, for - Mrs. Wood never yet- wrote a feeble or purposeless chapter:- The fair sex are in the' ascendant. Two or three months ago a new novel, publishect-enonymously in London, startled the .world. „It was called "Lady Au(lley's Secret," and actually went into a second edition, on'the 'firat day, and, we believe, into seven in as any weeks. By degrees the authorship be came known. Miss M. A. Braddon was .announced as the successful writer, and next it transpired thei the striking sensational novel "Aurora Floyd," now publishing in Temple Bar, was hers also. Wo shall have " Aurora -Floyd," early' in January; . from T. B. Peterson, who will republish it. Miss Braddon has this month commenced a new story, in Temple Bar, entitled "John. Marchmontts Legacy," whiah: Messrs: Peterson-will republish, in. twelve monthly numbers,—the first to appear on. Monday next: The female novelists are. in. great force. Besides Mrs. Olipluint, whose "Chronicles of Carlingford" exhibit nlinost tragic lower;. Miss. Mulockywhose "Mistress anti Maid" so singularly improves about the middle of the story, arid - becomes , admirable: fa the close ; Miss Evans, whose "Itoniole," tkotigli able, is not to be named on the same day with "Adam Bede ;" Mrs. Sfowe, who has also proved feeble on Italian soil ; Marion Harkmd,who always •writes with grace, earnestness and religious feeling, : a new star must be admitteditito.this bright cluster, namely, Miss Thackeray,. daughter of the .eyniek. novelist and essayist, a. young lady whose chtirm ingly natural and' truly womanly " Story of Eliza beth," has been, for the last four months, one of the greatest attractions of the dornliill Magazine. Origi nally ,announced to 'ifo n completed in- three parts, it' has grown under the.fair writer's hand, and bids fair to reach the extent of a volume when republished. • SOME OF .THE PERIODICALS. We admit that "periodical" is' a somewhat inde finite, though sufficiently intelligible, designation for a class• of publications, (to-day, quarterly reviews and monthly magazines,) seeing that in strict par• lance, a weekly or even a daily journal is truly a periodical. Newspaper writers, however, cannot al ways be purists in language orexpression. We now proceed to notice the National Quarterly Review, No. XI., received from T. B. Pugh : The American re prints of the last numbers of ttie London Quarterly and the Edinburgh Review, received from W. B. Zie ber, South Third street : The Banker's Magazine and Hunt's Merchant's Magazine, received directly front their . puhlishers; and the Conthill Magazine and Temple Bar, both received from S. C. Upham, 403 Chestnut street. Dto. 606 ARCH Street Vrtss. THURSDAY, DECEMBER :18,1862. News of Literature. The majority of these are of foreign growth, but by far the best among them is the National Quarterly Review, edited by EdWard L Sears, A. Dl„ .. which has no equal in this Country, no "superior abroad. * the editor is a gentleman of talent as well as culture, with goodtaste, much tact, and a pure and thorougl? IS , expressive style. The subjects discussed in the pre sent number, whichtommences the sixth volume, are, 1. the Arts and Sciences Among the Ancient •Egyp tians, in which the latest and most recondite writers on the subject, in English, Latin, Italian, and Ger . can_jregliliausted. 2.13ac0n af;.et Essayist, in which he and tersely analyzsd. Reviewer, however;has no rl6t to say "Lord 'I ' , Bacon,. for the-great-V*l— Bacon was 'first fiord Verulam; and finally" Viscpunt St. Albans- The present Chancellor of Englarid is Richard' tethell, Lord Westbury. Who would _call him Lord Bethel'? But rine might do so as correctly as to.speak of Visconnt St. Albans as Lord Bacon. 3. The Writings and . Loves of Burns is a paper of great merit and , interest; for its extent the best exhibit, we . have seen of the genius of Burns and the manner in which its chords were struck by his 'affections; in parts, its bold eloquence reminds us of Wilson's immortal disquisition on the peasant poet. 4. Genius, Talent, and Tact are discussed in a manner resembling Leigh Hunt's Essays in The In- - quirer—a periodical which ought not have died. 6. A chat, at once learned and amusing, anecdotal and Critical, on " Publishers, good, bad, and indifferent,” tells us many things whip we had not known and reminds us of some which we had forgotten. In the enumeration of good publishers, J. B. Lippincott of this city should have been included. 6. New Eng- I land Individualism is a dissertation . on the literary character of America. 7. Andre and Arnold is a sketch of the men rather personally than histori cally. The remaining three articles are severally Notices of new books, and inquiry into the ques tion Ought our Great Atlantic Cities be Fortified? (in which the exposed situation of Philadelphia is considered,)' and a very candid discussion on, Direct and Indirect Taxes at home and . abroad. - The positions laid down by the reviewers in this last article are so-important, bearing, as they do, on the true principle of taxation, that we shall discuss them, at an early day, as gravely as they deserve. The distinctive , character of the National Quarterly Review is this—lt has no isms, but takes a catholic view of whatever it selects for consideration. In times more favorable to literature, its circulation Would inevitably have been large ; even now, the publication is remunerative, and increasingly so, to the credit of the reading public. - . . •- In the London Quarterly Review, one article is espe cially devoted to the question of the day, our civil - war, and the eiltic who writes about it attributes our national misfortune to two causes—first, the not having an hereditary monarch in this country, and, next, to the misconduct of Mr. Buchanan as Presi dent; indeed, the "aged public unetionary" is de cidedly branded by the British reviewer as all but cc- lively co-operating in the treason which eventuated in Secession. Among the general articles the most no ticeable is a running commentary on Modern Politi cal Memoirs of England; this is worth perusal, 'its' , well as a very able and analytic review .of -,Vietal - ' Hugo's wonderful romance, "Les Misertibles Arising 'out of . the long account, Victor Hugo and Adolphe Thiers, romancist and historian, is along and detailed criticism on the battle of Waterloo ; showing how 'variously a subject looks when viewed through British and French spectacles. The remain.;', ing articles are of average merit. The Edinburgh Review, like the Quarterly, has, an article on America. It is long; but not tedious, _for it exhibits 8o much palpable ignorance as to be amusing, and its chief points are, that the creation of Western Virginia into a State would irritate the South, and that Palmeriton ought to continue hies policy of rolieeognizing Rebeldom. With the - ex. ception of two other article!, (on Mrs. Oliphant's Life of Edward Irving, and'Hopir at Home and Abroad, in which not a word is said 61, the fact that hope' are grown in twenty-eight_ out of thirty-five American States I) this Edinburgh should be called the ..ardiquarian Review. Herculaneum, the Legend of St. Swithin, Halicarnassus, Prince Eugene, the I Mussulmans in Sicily, and so on, form its staple,` this time. We should have preferred . a lids periodi cal. At the same time, most of these articles are learned and replete with information. *. Temple"Bizr, the English* shilling (25c.) magazine, edited by G. A. Sala, opens well this month, with three chapters of "John Marchmont's Legacy," a new domestic novel, by Miss Braddon. Further portions of "Aurora Floyd," now near completioni are given, and three chapters of SaWs own "Cap= - tain Dangerous," who, to say the truth, has heed.* bore for some months. A History of Comedy, in eleven pages, resembles The Iliad in a - nutshell.' Sala's own "Breakfast in Bed," with -Mavtit's• Spelling-book for a text-book, is very Thickerayish. Mr. Heraud's notice of John • Dryden—" glorious John Pl-48, sensible and welf-written. There is a poem here, called "If !" signed Thomas Hood. This is not the deceased author of the " Song of the . Shirt," but his only son, who, if he had any sense of literary propriety, would have signed "Thomas Hood, junior." Perhaps, as he properly should, he, calculates that the decided inferiority of his own productions can prevent their possibly being mis taken for his father's. In the Comfit/tillage:zinc, Miss Evans' Italian tale; "Rom°la," happily approaches its end. There is an, Ariterican Oticie about Campaigning with General Pope; also a further portion of "TrollciPa's" new novel, and, to our taste, worth all the rest; 'a littla More of bliss Thackeray's "Story of Elizabeth." There,,too; : is the twenty-sixth. Roundabout Paper, about Dessein's, Slerne's hotel at Calais. In this, evidently growing younger with advancing years,blr. Thaokpiny; aotually born in 1806, and continually credited, iikeontemporary biographies, - as having been bornAzi 1811;:speaks of himself as having been "a boy in the Easter vacation of 1830." A4Cordirig to the youngest date of birth, he was nineteen in 1830, and had actunllypublished a novel in the New Month ly in .1828. In 1821, as he has mentioned -in a late paper, he read his first novel—so, he .must then have been. a year or two old. Moreover, in 1831, as he has Idmself recorded, he lived at Wiemar; _was intimate wit - 110°6111e, and purchased Schillerls sword. The term,- "a bOy,". is vague—but We may take it as meaning a youth -of 10 or 12 years old. - Rare, then, is Thaekeray,' at fweive, hobnobbing with Goethe, who was 63 , yearit old..

ROSECRANS I gave you as detailed an account Of the disgrace ful surprise at, and, surrender of, Hartsville imme diately after telegraphing you, as it was possiblefor me to Obtain. "Some of the Northern papers, and all of the authorities here,nre endeavoring to re lieve the people of an idea that such an' event has transpired in reality. Therefore, I went to Galla tin yesterday, and the first person I saw; was the :quartermaster of the teith Illinois, who managed to escape after -the surrender_ had taken place.. His statement, in the main, is precisely" what I have communicated, without any embellishments. The quartermaster himself admitted that our men but ;half did their duty. In coming from Gallatin, I ' noticed that two small bridges, in important dis-' tries, however, were unguarded—the bridge over : thT creek and the one over Manscho's creek. Persons unacquainted with an army little suspect the many evils which grow out of apparently little things. For instance, the system of straggling—so often condemned, but seldom punished—is, as a general thing, productive of serious results. It•'is perfectly natural that soldiers should straggle, and those Who make a practice of it will steal. General Rosearans has issued a good order, which I trust he will enforce : . • HEADQUARTERS 14TILI1tMY CORPS, DEPARTMENT OF THE, CUMBERLAND, NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 3, 1862. GENERAL ORDERS No. 30. - . The following regulations will govern the conduct - of all foraging expeditions from this army : I. Details must be Made the day before, and the expedition will start at daylight. The officer com rhanding will be furnished with a copy of this and of General Orders No. 17 from these headquarters. 11. The officer commanding the escort shall have Command of the whole expedition, and will be held responsible for the acts or omissions of every man Who goes with it: The quartermaiter and all his assistants are, therefore, to yield him implicit obe- Men& • 111. The brigade or regimental quartermaster, or, if he:be sick or absent, an officer to, represent him,- shall, under direction of-the officer commanding, -. have immediate charge of the working parties ; the !details for which must be made separate and dia -'itinct from those of the military escort. Four men, in addition to the teamsters, will be detailed to each.- 'wagon'. They will remain with, forage for, and load it; and none but they will .be allowed to do so.. -They will carry their arms, ammunition, and equip- Inent,and must march on foot as soon as the wagons' tare loaded. A proper number of officers and non-, commissioned officers will -be detailed to superin- ?tend the working parties. . ../Y....When a 'regiment or brigade - is detailed for lofting duty, whether as escort or fatigue .party, -every officer able for duty must accompany it. This rule is positive: Rolls'must be made out, beforehand, of all the . officers and men detailed for the expedition, and ; mine but they will be allowed.to go with it. No ;citizen- whatever will be permitted to fail in with • •1, tither in or outside the lines. The mils must be called at the picket line, both going out and corning in, and all not belonging to the 'expedition, found with it, aciabeturned over to the grand guard, and sent imme diatel7l to the protxtst marshal. Absentees, if caught beforethe return of the exPedition, will be tied be . hind the wagons, and thus' marched back to camp, and then turned over to the provost marshal. ,The commanding officer, when his command shall :Tiatre "passed report the fact to the com mander of the grand guard; after which, no one claiming to belong to the expedition will be allowed to pass out. A similar report will be- made on .the 'refit= of the expedition; . after which, every strag gler from it, coming in, twill be arrested. , The rolls will again be,ealled after every halt, and aleast three times besides, in the course of the day. VI. Advance, rear guards, amt./tankers will be thrown out on the march, and every precaution be taken• .agatnat surprise. Whenever a halt is ordered, vi dedes-and sentries will be posted in advance of these otitguards; and if there are woods in the neighbor ',hood they will be patroled. The' main body of the escort 'will be distributed in the manner best calcu lated to protect the train, and repel an attack if at , tempted. % A Ritual cavalry force should, if possible, form part of the escort. These rules are imperative, and must be rigidly ob serired. It is of no consequence whether danger be anticipated or not—our troops need practice and twining in these particulars, and must have it. GREAT CHANGE IN PUBLIC SENTIMENT. There is a more healthy feeling among the people here than has been exhibited for a long time past. There are several reasons, however, for this change. One is, between forty and fifty female Secessionists have taken their departure for a clime more con genial to their peculiar inclinations. The cause has been, to an-alarming extent, damaged by this class, snd their exit has given an increase to the solidity of Union sentiment. Also, the departure of thirty two young men on parole, at least rids the city of so many traitors. The provost marshal, some 'time ago, issued'an order that all those persons on parole in the city.have an opportunity of renewing their allegiance Jo the Government and that those who declined must go to Vicksburg to be exchanged. The result was that sixty-four took the oath, and thirty7two were sent South. In connection with this subject, I must state that I believe General .Itosecrans means to circulate an the.good possible. ;Be Bemire - to pretty well understand the people, and :intends to give all a chalice who desire to forsake an. allegiance with the:febellion. The following fine order spealcs for itself: HEADQUAISTEREI 14TH ARMY Comes, DZEARTMENT OP THE OIIMEERLAND NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 14, 14 • 2 GENERAL ORDERS, N0.'31. The general commanding has received several ap plications froin Kentuckians; who have abandoned the rebel armies, for permission , to return to their , homes; and he is informed• that large numbers of others would make the same request to him, did they dare hope for a favorable reply. 'Under these circumstances the general feels called upon to define his views with relation to all this class of men, and to say what he is prepared to do in 'such cases. This war is waged for the preservation of the Union of our fathers. To preserve that Union the rebellious States' must be coerced into submission. This is the one great end we have in view—and this end must and shall - be attained. Without passion, - from a sense of duty, trusting in, the God who, ab hors pride and all , injustice, we march onward to- That the people - of the South have been deluded by ambitious demagogues,' dedeived by. lying Isis representations, carried away, some by natural sym pathies, others by an irresistible current of circum— stances—that many have been forced into , a . partici pation in the rebellion—We well know. We both know and deplore the cruel necessities of the situn tion made for them by - their rulers. We abhor the grinding despotism, which has ,devoured' their sub, stance, depopulated. their .valleys, converted peace ful neighborhoods into haunts of banditti,-and sub stituted. a' reign, of oppression and terror for the mild Government under which, but two short years .ago, , they were so happily living. We pity them we hai,re pitied them, even while duty compelled us. to unsheath the sword against them ; and thoug,4 so long as :they confront us in arms, ..our. swords shall never be returned to their scabbards, we yet will gladly hail the day when this desolating and unnatural war shall cease. • For this reason, the .General commanding ie dis posed to hold out everyencouragement to these mis guided men to lay down their arms abandon the desperate cause in which they are embarked; return to their homes and faniffies, and resume once more the: tranquil occupations of peace. : -All that will be exacted of those, who will honestly dd be to take the non-combatant's parole, and give proper security that they will keep it. So long as they faithfully observe this, parole, obey the laws, and deport themselves as peaceable citizens, they shall not be molested by any officer or soldier belonging to this army. • - - But if, false to their pledges and .ungrateful for the -generosity shown them, they arc found convey ing information to the enemy;. trafficking with him, aiding him with supplies, or money, or in any other way violating the spirit of their engagements; they will be i summarily dealt with, as spiesor . perjured traitors, with the utmost rigor, allowed by the laws of war. By command of Itlaj.. Gem Roseerane. JULIUS P. G-ARESCHE, Asst Adjt. General and Chief of Staff. Ofti lat ".RUMORS OF SRIRMISHING. There were reports in' the city all day of extensic'e skirmishingin front, but, up to this time-11 P. M. nothing corroborative of such rumors has been re ceived at headquarters. GEN. ROSSEAU'S Gen. Rosseau's line- division entered the city at an - early hour thit morning. It has been encamped across the river for the past four or five days. Gem Negley and staff left the city, this morning, for the field. Gen. Negley will command a division in the centre—Thomas' cOrps armee. PROCLAMATION FROM GOV. JOHNSON. The. Governor will issue a "proclaniation," to morrow, which will make some of the Secessionists sick, I can assure you. It is not quite ready yet. THE 13UELL COURT MARTIAL. The' examination in the case of Gen. Buell is, pro gressing at the Capitol. Gem McCook gave in. his evidence yesterday. . B. C. T. PRICE'S ARMY JOINED 13RAGG` AND SOIIN- STON. NAM:MILLE, Tenn., Dee. 13,11862 It is generally conjectured that. Gen. Rosecrans will have two armies to meet instead of one. Cer tainly some of the army of Gen. Price have arrived at Murfreesboro. From contraband information we learn that two Mississippi regiments have arrived in Tennessee, and, as a confirmation of this rumor, two out of seven prisoners .captured yesterday and brought before the provost marshal, belonged to that army, and stated that they had just arrived from Oxford, Mississippi. To-day a letter was captured, the contents of which were conclusive. The writer says : "The Catholic-Jew will be a little astonished should he chance to meet some of his Corinthirlends bargaining for their rights in Tennessee." I read, the whole letter, but was not permitted to take seesiOn of it, as the general tenor was of a description . most important to the authorities, It contained an unusual amount of sentences oftheusual garisy style - of (the rebels, and possicly the entire communica— tion was wind. HOwever, the enemy will not stand at Murfreesboro unless-reinforced.. Should thei.be as••• stated by the bulk of the Southwestern Confederates, as matters now stand, Gen. Rosecrans' has a decided advantage. For, should such an eventtranspire, the - Army of the Cumberland will.fall: back, under the protection of the guns of Forts Negley,. Casino, and Confiscation, and laugh at the whole Southern com bination. The rebels, of late, have had things pretty much their own way in Middle Tennessee, and have the knack of getting up rather lively, excursions But if they. think to eucre our "Catholic-Jew," as they arc pleased to term him, I am inclined to be sieve that they will get ungraciously tripped up; as General Rormerfi'ne will hazard no rash performance, even if the whole country attack hini..for tardiness. GEN. ROSECRANS , ABILITY TO COMMAND.' Gen. Rosecrans, no doubt, has yet to earn for him self the name of - a great Military. man: In - military: circles and among the people his ability is comment ad upon, and, in comparison to that of Gen.. questioned. But ail know him to be a fighting sol dier, and' none quelition his patriotic ardor. His brilliant manceuvring .at -Corinth has placed- hint fairly-in the estimation of the army, and L.have yet to acquaint myself with-any who are disinclined to ., . • • command oLa.great, anny,and this great army is com - pinearro- F -th.- excellent soldiers. The discipline of - the; nen,when he took command, was not particularly conuriend able; hut, thanks to his zeal. and severity, he has almost remedied this serious complaint. In conclu sion-, let me :confess that I .shall be most awfully mistaken if Gen. Rosecrans fails to lead the Army , • In. • •• t • ,z • • ~y-. GEN. AIITCIIgLL Gen. Mitchell has taken command of the post, and Gen. Negley, with his division, has gone into the field, and is encamped upon . therranklin pike. Gen. Mitchell is a graduate of West Point, and often go .a by the name of "Kansas Mitchell." He has the re putation of being a man of ability and honesty. I trust that he will bear in mind that there is a Mili tary Governor of this State. If he does, he will get along Well. For Governor Johnson will leave the military business wholly to him, and he can do just as he pleases. But if he; in common with his prede cessors, meddles with the civil bUsiness, why, of course, the same unpleasant, complicated state of things which has existed for the, past six months must necessarily take place. No general has yet 'made a "hit," who has studiously opposed the Mill taiy Governor. That's a fact. THE LATE SURPRISE. The more we learn about •the late disaster at Hartsville, the more thoroughly disgusted are we with the whole affair. It was a• complete surprise, notwithstanding the audacity of the attacking party. Moreover, Colonel Moore, "the man who wanted to see John Morgan," was informed, by white men, that the rebels meant to attack him Saturday night. When the fight did take place, the two Ohio regi ments broke and ran, leaving the 104th Illinois to do - the work alone, as far as infantry was concerned. The Illinois soldiers, and those connected with the battery and cavalry, fought well, and, had the two Ohio regiments, behaved themselves, no defeat would have occurred. Nineteen hundred of the paroled men arrived at the provost marshal's office to-day. They will go to Camp Chase to-morrow morning, and will be attached to the night-cap bri gade. JOHN MORGAN ATTER ROUSSEAU. General ROUsseau; who has been in camp at Edge field for some days past,' had a narrow escape yester day. About two miles from Edgefield a bend in the Cumberland river takes place, and the water is very kiur.. Near this bend resides the family of one of the leading Union men of Davidson county. The Gene ral, While his division was encamped across the river, took histneals with this family, and yesterday visited the people, and left the house about ten minutia belbre John Morgan and three officers en tered. One of the ladies of the family knew him, but had no opportunity of communicating with our pickets, who were only a quarter of. a mile distant. Morgan remarked that • his object was •to. capture Tiousseau. This is a fact, although lam not at li berty to give all the names. Our excellent postmaa ter, however, lives near that bend. GENERAL STEADMAN. • I can assure you thatiheloyal people were much refreshed last night upon the arrival of the train from Louisville, after a day's delay. General Jim Steadman arrived in the city last evening, and re that his brigade is doing duty at the South Tunnel. Ike thinks it an impossibility for 'John Morgan to get in upon the railroad if the different detachments perform their duty. Gen. Steadman is one of the most patriotic soldiers in the army. He is a strong Administration man, and is prepared to acquiesce in anything which shall tend to crush the rebellion. All who are acquaintedwith him will recollect that he was one of the most partisan Loco focos in the country, and believed that a man who would vote against the Democratic party had no claim upon his Creator. But now, he says: "If those Democrats in the North don't behave them selves, let the President send after me and my Dutch brigade." . B. C. T. THE BUELL COURT MARTIAL. NASHVILLE, TENN., Dec. 14, 1862 The examination of General Buell progresses slowly. I hear rumors of what is going on, but do not know where the leak is. But they do say that one of the results will be that "Major-brigadier ) 7 General Gilbert will lose that other star, and that a certain major general, in this department, will lose something by the examination. I am reliably in formed that one of the commission got talkative last evening, and remarked that, as far as Buell was concerned, things were getting less brilliant .• General Buell, wife, and step-daughter, Miss Mason,) are at the St. Cloud Hotel.• They have beat visited to-day by many of the most prorninent Secessionists in the city, several of whom have hardly dared to show their heads since the Federal occupation of Nashville. ' " B. C. T. ' A MEAN TRICE :DR'AGGL-OUR 'SOLDIERS ROBBED Gen. Bragg, eommanding at - Murfreesboro, sent in - seventeen hundred and fifty paroled Union prisoners ;last night.

GENERAL : Your letter enclosing list of prisonnrs captured at Hartsville,. and paroled by you, has been received. It is reported to me that the flag of truce presented itself about dark, and during a' skirmish. As it will be impossible to verify the roll of prison ers to-night, or say anything "of their condition,.•l have directed the prisoners-to be: receipted for until the rolls can be verified, when they wilibe returned duly'receipted,' We lake care of your prisoners, feed Mem, make them comfortable, and conduct them to the proper place"of exchange. Ours were sujiciently clad, and I think aught lo have been treated in a similar man ner. Sending these - prisoners here, and imposing them on my humanity without a' previous agreement; is a violation of the spirit and letter of the cartel. I regret to notice this act "of injustice' and dis courtesy, which is aggravated by their not being sent to, us at.a proper hour of the day, when all the busi ness' could be conducted without , inconvenience to either party. - ' - Paroled prisoners will hereafter be received only in accordance with the terms of the cartel. .

MOO r' S• DISGRACE The:whole number of prison:era waa 1,152,:0f whom :1,605 were captured at Hartssille The remainder were picked up at various times and pikes within the past month, The testimony of paroled officers is , explicit that the disaster at Hartsville was attributable solely to the negligence, incapacity, andelacrity , of Colonel Moore to surrender. Captain Lewis and Captain Bertassy, who behaved gallantly according to abund ant testimony, assure me that while they were on picket duty, on the 4th instant, a negro slave waded the' river, and, with much' agitation, notified them that he`overheard his Master say that the garrison at Hartsville would be attacked on Sunday, the 7th. This was reported to Colonel Moore, but he was in different and neglected his duty. Saturday evening, 6thinotant; the same negro- made his way into the 'namp, and was conveyed to -the officer of the day, major of the 104th Illinois; to whom he stated that the enemy were within four miles of the camp, , and would 'attack at daylight next morning. Other of ficers confirm this statement. BRILLIANT. CAVALRY . BASIL As soon as our cavalry was equipped with Colt's revolving rittesi Brig: Gen: D: S. Stanle thought he would, try them .on.. Moving:out .tieon Franklin `pike yesterday morning, he met rebel , cavalry out posts, about ten - miles. from Nashville, and drove them in upon "a strong body cf . cavalry. After skir mishing all day, Gen. Stanlek drove the enemy through Triune, charging through three camps, to a . point within, seven: miles 'of Murfrees boro. Retracing his course, Gen.- Stanley finally halted and' bivouacked, contemplating a surprise upon Franklin. This" morning he attacked the rebel cavalry who held it. After a little skir mishing the enemy fell back into town and fought under cover of - the houses. Major Wyn lifoop, of the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry, finally made a gallant and drove the rebels pell-mell into Diade. The town was occupied - long enough to de stroy a valuable mill which the, rebels had been operating, and the expedition returned safely to camp this evening, having lost but one man, who was wounded on picket duty, and four horses killed. The rebel loss was five killed, including a lieutenant of the Texas Rangers, teawounded, fifteen prisoners, and a number of horses. . , The object of the expedition was to reconnoitre to ascertain if the. enemy was , really. swinging around to our.right. No such movement was discovered. General Stanley reports.thitt they all acted hand somely. The. 7th Permsylvania and Major Wyn-. koop were especially complimented by him. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Surprise of the Enemy at the Recent Hove anent—Flag of Truce—Exchange of Vaned and Wounded—General Stuart Thinks "Banks Has Gene South"—Coudition and Behavior of Our Troops, ec, C. HEADQUARTERS OE THE ARMY OF TILE FOTO- , mac, Dec. 17.—Yesterday morning, when daylight appeared, the enemy seemed to be astonished that our army had succeeded in returning to this side of the Rappahannock. We returned without losing'a single man or a gun in the retrograde movement. A few soldiers who had straggled off made their appearance 'on the "river bank after the pontoon bridges had been removed, but they were brought over in small boats. • A. few cavalry men, who were guarding a house inMibited by a private family, were not, during the night, aware of our crossing, but in the morning they safely swam the river. "The pickets of the contending armies being sepa rated by only a few yards, rendered it necessary that everything on our part should be conducted with the utmost caution. Those on the outposts were un aware of the movement until just before daylight, when an officer went to each individual man, and in - a low tone ordered him to fall back. After they got sufficiently far oil' to be out of danger, they were or dered to quicken their pace and reach the bridges.. About nine o'clock yesterday morning the enemy _advanced their skirmishers along the entire line, and by noon had established their pickets near the river bank. We had a large number of dead on what was re garded as neutral ground, and as soon as it was linown that our forceilhad evacuated, the soldiers of the enemy commenced robbing the lifeless bodies. This was plainly seen through a field-glass, as well an i indiatitictly with the naked eye. -About 10 or 11 o'clock, females; neatly dressed, were seen walking the streets of-Fredericksburg. Thely had doubtless been annealed - in their houses during the time the city was occunied by our troops, and had availed themselves of the first opportunity to make their reappearance... On On Monday the pickets in front of the left wing agreed upon an armistice among 'themselves, and freely intermingled, exchanging their dead comrades who lay on neutral ground. During the -time a general of our army rode by, and put an end to these proceedings. The result was that both parties bur mediately commenced firing, when nine of our men were killed. After the general had left, the-friendly relations of the pickets - were renewed, and "butter nut and blue uniforms freely mixed. About this time Gen. Franklin despatched a flag of truce, which the enemy immediately recognized, and the exchange of dead bodies was resumed and continued until completed. Yesterday afternoon Gen. Lee sent a flag of truce to Gen. Burnside asking him to detail men to bury his dead in front of Gen. Sumner's grand division. This was done. The wounded, with the exception of those whom the enemy obtained, have all been brought to this side of the Rappahannock, and, as rapidly as posed., ble, are being sent to Washington. During the flag of truce. General Stuart, of the rebel army, in answer to a question, stated that Banks' expedition had gone South, but he did not seem to know exactly Mare. The entire army is now encamped on the same ground which .they previously occupied. They are as comfortable for the present as they.can' be in shelter tents. Our army has been oonsiderably.ie inforced since the battle, and no, danger whatever is attached to their present position. It is the opinion of military men that had we even Succeeded in taking the first ridge of works, the op portunity for slaughter by the enemy would.ha.ve been far greater than previously. Our men, it may be repeated, behaved with the greatest gallantry; but no troops in the world could withstand a severe concentrated fire of heavy ordnance and musketry, under cover of theft. fortifi cations.

Private Young Private Hager Private Dunlapp Private Stewart Private Bidilor THE IRON-CLAD MONTAUK* Trial Trip of the Iron-Clad Battery Mew. tank Important Experiments in Ord.-. stance Practice—Complete: Success of tke Montauk—lnspection by a Naval Comm4s sion.. Yesterday morning, in compliance with ordees from the Navy Department, the. United States iron clad battery Montauk started on her trial trip. Is order that there should be no doubt about the result of the important experiments, Secretary Welles ap pointed a naval commission to witness the trial trip. and report upon it. The commission consisted of the following .officers, all gentlemen 'of the highest pre fessional reputation in the service: Commodore Stephen 0. Rowan, coramander of the . iron-clad frigate Roanoke; Captain Rogers, late of "the Galena ' • and Captain John Rogers, of the Erics son battery Catskill. The following distin guished officers were also on board : Capt. Lacoffiski,.. of the imperial navy of Russia; Capt. Erzenleor,' naval constructor in the same service, and a Russian ego .nel of ordnance ; Commodore Gregory, Engineer Stimers, Capt. Worden, and others. • At 10 o'clock all embarked on the Montauk, at the navy yard, and at 103, o'clock, amid a severe shower of drizzling rain, the.vesser Shoved o ff unaided, and headed up the North river. Her engines were put in quick motion, and, with twenty-seven. pounds of steam on, gave fifty revolutions a minute. This was the first report. The distance from the navy yard to theßattery was accomplished at the rate of. about five and a half miles an hour. Soon after the speed was increased to six, and she was ordered to be driven even faster, when the boilers began to foam. As the revolutions can be put up to seventy, at least, with • the remaining untested power of steam, the•speed of • the Montauk will be almost exactly that of the Passaic, seven miles an hour. The tide was against her yesterday, and also a very stiff. breeze, • but- their influence in retarding a craft so low, down and so "settled,e was not very great. We. stopped ' at the foot of Thirteenth street to take on board Mr. Orr, one of . Mr. Ericsson's representatives, whe come to see how things worked. At 12 o'clock, off Thirty fifth street, 35 pounds of steam only produced 48 re. volution!, 27 pounds having previously obtained 50, or two revolutions more ;.but the, foaming of the boilers had not commenced dining the first half hour. From Thirty-fifth street up 'the river" the progress Was even and satisfactory.. Six miles an hour was easily accomplished, notwithstanding_ the newness of the boilers. The trip of the Passaic did not seem to, familiarize steamboat travellers 'with Iron-clads, for they evinced all the characteristics of pristine curiosity as we passed. After a cold sail we reached the Palisades at about one o'clock, and made pre parations to anchor; soundings were taken, and fif teen fathems of chain run out, which secured the vessel. The Naval Oomiaission then adjourned to the turret; and directed the initiatory movements for Bring. Powder was taken from a steamtug, which brought it from Bedioe's island. About half past two or three o'clock firing com menced. Three hollow shots, two solid ones, and two shellswere sent into the bosom of the Palisades. They actually shook the entire shore for hundreds of yards, and where the solid shot fell rocks. and gravel, for nearly a quarter of a mile, rolled into the river. A gentleman came from shore and states that the shots tore up the earth fearfully. He also informed parties on board that during the Passaic's trial one of her shots struck a tremendous rock, and sent it in fragments in the. air. The commission intended firing ten shots, but only fired seven, as stated, it being rather dark' to continue. The trial trip of the Passaic was made under the au spices of Captain Ericsson, who' did not object to a minute report of - it. . The Montauk is ,in the hands of the Government, and Captain Worden, its representative, does not wish particulars printed. ' But the following statement of the results of the experiment can give no comfort or information to the enemy First. The various prineiples involved in the ex periment are proved practicable. • Second. That. the terret.port-hole need not be widened is now established beyond all doubt. Third. The Montauk, in her present shape, will go to sea, on active service, this week. Commodore Rowan and Capt.- Rogers both expressed themselves individually highly satisfied with the general sue ce.ss.ef the experiments. Not a bolt gave way du ring the entire - tries. The_epmmission, of course, suggest improvements in various dOsala r ur_hiztx can be effected in forty-eight hours. The work of the day being over, preparations were made to return. The pilot, however, did not wish to incur the responsibility of anchoring off the Bat tery with the length of chain available, and as steam ing up to the navy yard at so late an hour was out of the question, it was deemed best to leave the vessel off the Palisades. The party on board then returned to the city in tow-boat, all in exeellen.thumor. The . Montauk will arrive oft the navy yard to-day• at 9A. M., and prepare to leave for . sea. She will probably be off in two or three days. Annexed is a list of her officers : . John L. Worden, commander; Charles 11. Cush man; lieutenant commander and executive officer; Pierre Girstud, master ; J. J. McKinley and G. P. Avery, ensigns; S. F. Browne, assistant paymaster; S. N.

Press: Sun: For the benefit of the sick or wounded Soldiers in any of the military hospitals of the coun try, who will be compelled to pass through this city .when en route for home, I desire the use of your columns to state that the most ample provisions have been made for such soldiers as will be com pelled to wait a train connection in this city. In the immediate vicinity of the railroad depot, a build ing has been erected by two of our most liberal and enterprising. citizens—Captain E. Byers and John Simons. This building has been furnished in the most complete manner, with cooking 'apparatus, sleeping apartment, and accommodations to bathe. The sleepingapartmentis coinfortable as any of the chambers in our. best hotels-carpeted, heated, and lighted, and ventilated in a manner at once for the comfort of the sick. Any sick or woundeilsoldier whose routg home may pass through this city, need only inform the conductor of the train on which he is a passenger, that he' must stop for a train connection in Harrisburg. The faot will be telegraphed 1w the conductor to the superin tendent of the Sick Sold' iers' Rest at Harrisburg ; and when the train reaches this pity, persons will be in waiting to conduct sick soldiers at once to the esta blishment.' • It is important that this fact should be known in all the hospitals of the country, and therefore) de ',sire the fact to be announced through the medium of the great circulation of The Press. The Sick Soldiers' Rest is a free hospitality, offered by Messrs. Byers Sr. Simons to the brave defenders of the Union, as an evidence of their appreciation ..of valor and patriotism. am, str, truly vourit Laind, F Bonvaldt, F Schafer,G Fields G Rtugh, G Moßithers, G Dlacinter, G- Copt Walker, let Lieut BLaskey, 2d Lieut Fletcher, H Corporal EC --- Ban, H Stark, 11 Williams, H.
