He' denounced Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, vindicated Bragg, and remarked that "all is well" with the Army of In concluding, he said that, if circumstances should render it necessary for the army to evacuate Murfreesboro, the battle for. Tennessee would take place :,bctvire s en Tullahoma and Winchester. He left Murfreesboro. Sunday morning, upon the early train for Mobile and the Army of the. Mississippi. It is said that Jeff will review and harangue the troops in-the South West, and take his departure about next Friday for Stlyttll-. nah and Charleston. • ADVANCE OF THE ENEMY.. It is certain that the enemy's pickets advanced to ward our lines from the centre in force. From Gen. • Negley's quarters their vedettes were seen all day, and many - private flags of truce took place. About the same good temper as was exhibited at Battle creek-is manifested by, both sides, and the rebels are apparently in good spirits. Of the present position of their fortes, General Hardee's corps is at Eagleville, between Triune and : Murfreesboro; General' Polk's is at Murfreesboro; and it is said that General Kirby Smith's army will constitute the right wing. Their' lines thus extend from a little north of Murfreesboro to Esgleville, south of Nashville, where General Hardee's corps forms the extreme left.of their army. Our cavalry are still operating in front of their lines. General Johnston is yet at hlurfreesboro.. All the • official orders bear the official signature of General Bragg. General Gideon. J. Pillow arrived at Murfreesboro Sunday evening. He will be restored to active duty, and Will immediately take the.field.

There is a decided. improvement in the discipline of this army, partly owing-to the .rigor of General Boseerani and partly to. the-increased attention of regimental officers. Last week, thousands of sol diers were running around the city, and the average. arrests were a hundred a day. So far, this week, but twenty soldiers have been brought before the. provost marshal, and several of- this number-had passes.acci dentally incorrectly:signed. • Some gentleman, wri ting from this city to • the Oineinnati Gaireficodeals unkindly.with the provost marshal for placing in the jail Federal soldiers guilty of misdemeanors: ; if he knew as much about the- soldiers as some other's, he would never have penned such an• article.

Battle of Prairie Grove—Splendid March of General Herron's Army-7,000 Unionists against 26,000 Rebels—Brilliant Bayonet Charges—Opportune Arrival of General Blimt—Glorious Union Triumph. PRAIRIE GROVE, Ark., Dec. 8, 1862. • SITUATION OF BLUNT'S ARMY. There has just been another great battle in North- • western Arkansas, exceeding in fierceness the fa mous 'contest at Pea Ridge, as was remarked by some of the veterans who were present on both of the occasions alluded to. •The details areas follows: ..Gen. Blunt had advanced some twenty miles south of Fayetteville, Arkansas with his forces, and there drawn the attack of. Hindman, who ad vanced upon him rapidly from Van Buren with 30,000 troops and 22-pieces Of artillery. Blunt, with his little command of 10,000 men, at Caneliiii, would be but a mouthful for such an army of well-disci plined soldiery as this. He knew his- danger, and sent hurried messages-to Gen. Herron,. who has the • command of the 241 and 3d divisions of .tke Army of the Frontier,. and was. at-,that. time •at Wilson'tv Greek, fourteen miles south of Springfield, Missouri. The moment Gen. Herron received . the intelligence of Gen. Blunt's danger, he set • his army in motion, and made forced. marches, accomplishing the feat of pushing his infantry Mai:Liles in three days, and his cavalry 130 miles in two days and a half. ATTACK UPON HERROWS ADVANCE... On 'the morning of the 7th inst., as the advance guard, consisting of the Ist - Arkansas Cavalry, and. a portion of the 6th and 7th Missouri Cavalry, were entering a wood upon the south bank of Illinois creek, ten miles south of Fayetteville, they were fired upon from ambush,. and thrown into a panic • that resulted in a total rout and a loss of their bag gage train of twenty-four wagons. They went flying back ' two or three miles, until they met the main. body, when they rallied once more., Major Hubbard; of Rea Ridge fame, with a portion f two companies of the Ist Missouri, tried to stem the tide of the re bels, but without suecess. Their superior numbers bore down everything 'before them, among others this little band. Major Hubbard himself and two of his lieutenants were captured, and: the remainder forced to retreat at double quick. -Our. infantry were soon brought forward and a few pieces of artillery got into position, that sent the bold scoundrels back as rapidly as they came. Gen. Herren followed up his advantage as -quickly as possible, and soon found. himself in contact with :the:malitrebel force. This splendid army, contrary to our expectations, was well clothed, well. armed, and well red, and better- drilled than our own sol diery. It consisted of a corps of 26,000 men, com manded by Gen.. Hindman, and was. in. four divi sions, commanded respectively by Gene. Parsons, Marmaduke -Rhone, and Frost, and was supported• by'a'pruit'oeartillery of 22 guns. Besides this, they bad tremendous advantage in position. The: battle-field was a magnificent•stretch of open ground, skirted 'on the east by an abrupt hill covered with. thick woods.. On this bluff; .concealed. by the forest,. were posted the rebels in bill force. GALL26IT r COPTDPOT OF OUR TROOPS. • Our:forees Only numbered -6,500 or 7,000,- and con sisted of.the following infantry, the 94th and 37th. IllinOis, the 19th 'and 20th lowa, the 26th Indiana, and 20th Wisconsin.: , In addition to these were four Q u ays,llery,who i e tweet= •Ourmen were worn d'ownwiths. oisg an co forced march, and some of them. trad:been,without• feed for twenty-four hmire. 'However, when theba ll • opened they deployed into the field with loud huzzari,. and went at the work in hand 'with great bravery. It took some little time to get into position and' place the batteries in the most commandingloca- Dees, and it was fully 10 o'clock A. M. before the artillery duel was in full voice. As may be imagined forty or fifty cannon, well-manned and discharged.ris rapidly as possible, make ft tremendous racket. This. wag kept up until dark, when by that time green. troops who had never seen a cannon before, laid down within a'yard of the gun and slept throughout undisturbed.' We did not lose a•single man•through-- out the whole day by artillery, though a score or two of horses were killed. Our gunners were much more 'skillful and precise in their. aim than.those of the rebels, which was shown by theresult; Upon the bluff or ridge, occupied by the Secesh, were many fine farm-houses which.had.beem.ereeted upon the elevation to escape the dam sandvapors of the plain below. From the rear of: two of these houses was kept up a well-directed fire of eight or nine guns. Gen.. - Merton ordered the whole fire of cur artillery to be. directed upon the onemeareat to. us, and silenced it in ten minutes. The 20th Wis consin Infantry, led by Lieut. Col. Bertram, then charged up the. hill and took the battery upon. a• 'double quick. They-had no sooner gaino-dr posses .Bion of" the well-earned prize than.the-rebels . arosein. - Myriads from the bushes in the rear of: the garden. thelsitteryin question, and.poured'a fire into the ranks of our boys that sent their columns. reeling back down .the . declivity again, with great loss of life and limb: ; Within twenty minutes af terwardithe 18th lowans, with the gallantry characteristic of , the soldiery of that State, essayed the vain feat with similar- ill-. success. This battery was afterwards entirely disabled, the horses killed, and gun-carriages broken.in pieces by. the fire of one of our batteries, who hit their mark thus precisely at a distance of twomiles with mi's siles discharged from Pareottguns, and the fourcaia sons filled with ammunition were-subsequently cap 'lured, and brought away. Thos different rebel bat, -teiles were silenced one by one, until the booming of cannon had nearly ceased: • • DESPERATE FIGHTING .0E TRE.REBELS. •The enemy perceived thritnothing could be accom plished at long range, se: they massed themselves upon our front and both Baulks, and commenced ad . vancing to capture-our batteries. Immense hordes came out of the woods on, our left, and spread:upon the field, looking from a distance like a neat of 'ants. Our infantry appeared &mese handful in comparison with this multitude, but they held them in. check while Cole's battery ton up end stuck their guns un der their very noses, and fired canister into them with such deadly effect aeto cause them first•to.pause yin their career, and then lie down, and finally to re -treat hastily back. again they made their! appear ' ance still further on the left in n number equal apparently to our entire force. Their batteries again opened fire briskly, and for a time- the for ' tunes - of the battle seemed against us. The ire ,mense. and overwhelming odds enabled them to harass and approach from three directions. The greatest discouraging circumstance, however, was in the fact that a new battery had opened a tre mendous fire at our extreme right, nearly two miles from our centre. This was at 3 o'clock in the after noon. A. good portion of our infantry was fearfully cut up and nearly disheartened. Everything nearly pointed toward a defeat of our forces. Murphy 7 s battery, a portion of BackoPs, and the Peoria bat tery kept up a galling fire into the opposing forces. The men were again rallied, and at 334 o'clock the flippity whiz of the shells, the booming of the can non, and the continuous roll of the musketry told us that our boys were - determined to hold the field, if possible, till dark. The rebels fought despesately, and seemed no, more to regard a shower of bullets or a storm of grape than if it. had been but a summer wipd. No. sooner had a solid shot ploughed its way through their co lumns, or a shell opened a gap in their lines, than the vacancies were filled again .by others, They ad vanced steadily once more upon our let, and thew , we knew would be the hardest tug of the day.

Ile hat no sooner reported back when another message-caret requesting an interview with GenEi.liluntand-Hes‘ ron. This consumed three hours more, and , by that time their army was at a safe distance. This is only, a specimen of the teky cunning of Gen. man. The ruse was perfectly transparent. Yet the game Ifad progressed too far to be stopped wlthout transgressing the etiquette of war before their intea-• tion was fully divined. RESULTS OF THE VICTOR-Y.. This defeat has been a most disastrous affair to the. rebels. The country about Forts Smith and Van Buren has been gleaned of every particle of forage .and provisions for a distance of fifty miles; so NorM `enr Arkansas and Southern Missouri is regarded br them as a sort of promised land, flowing with sor ghum and hominy. The rebel expedition waflcexo• fully fitted out with comfortable clothing, an abun dant supply of food, and the best of arms and ammu nition. The muskets were a perfect copy of the En field gun, and stamped 9 0. S. A., Richmond, Va.," though they undoubtedly were made in England. large number of them were captured. and alt showed the mostperfect finish and workmanship. The paok ages of cartridges were stamped" J. 1). Lowe, Bir mingham." A portion of sorne few of their regiments were composed of conscripts, and when these men were exposed to' a tire, they had a regiment of ca valry posted behind them, with orders to shoot them down if they did not fight. -Every arrangement aril exertion was made to place the chances of victory beyond a peradventure. They.are now beaten back beyond the Boston Mountains, again dthheartened, and completfly demoralized.

An English Bark Provides the Pirate Whit Four Hu/mired Tons of Coal. A letter from Grenada, West Indies, to a mercan tile house in blew York, gives the following repoet of the pirate ship Alabama "GRENADA, December 6, 1862. "The American whaling schooner V. L. rlpari of Provincetown, Capt. Harvey Sparks, arrived here yesterday from the island of Blanquilla, about one hundred and seventy miles to the westward of this place and under the Venezuelan Government. She repo rts that whilst lying there at anchor. on the evening of 21st ult„the Confederate pirate steamer Alabama and the F.nglish bark Agrippina„ of Scarboro, England, coal-laden, arrived•there front Martinique. The Alabama took on board from the Agrippina four hundred tone of coal, and both rea- • solesailed again on the evening of the-25th. • "'Captain Sparks also reports having been detain ed on board the Alabama as a prisoner during her stay, and his vessel strictly guarded. He was told by enptain Semmes, had he caught Mu:LC:one milers from the land under canvas, he would have burned his vessel. The Alabama has a heavy broadshil4 and two large rifted pivot-guns, and had destroyed twenty-three vessels ; the last one was on• the atk of November--a Boston ship, from the East-Indies, with a very valuable cargo." United States Steamers at Havana—Seca/S -alon Sympathizers and General Duane— The Sugar Crop—Rebel Cotton. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—The steamship Union at. rived this morning from Havana on the 15th. She left the United States steamers Wachuaett and SO nora, of Admiral Wilkes' squadron, at Havana. AZ werelvell. There is no later news from Mexico. .The new Captain General Duke has arrived at Havana, and General Serrard had left for Spain. The Secession sympathizers at Havana proposed joinbrr in the ovation to him, by accompanying him to the en trance of the harbor.ia arsteamer, but he requested them not to do so, and ereneral Dulce forbade it. • There -were still 40,000 boxes' of - the old crop of sugar on hand. The unusually heavy rains had injured and re tarded the new crop which will be small. There were. no arrivals of ' rebel vessels, save two with cotton—one was from Matamoros. The President's Proclamation. TO:the Editor of The Press: SIR The President's, proclamation is 'a masterly . blow at the vitals of the rebellibn. The , howling of the . fungus aristocracy shows that it. has struck home. ,They originated the instkrreetion ) and they • are carrying it on. They began years ago. , They made an attempt to defy the Government after com miffing the egregious Yazoo fraud. They tried- it ' again after the discovery of gold in the Creek and. Cherokee country, when they assailed. theindians, to get possession of their lands and improvements. They were prevented from breaking out of the Union on the question of the tariff only by the iron. will of. General Jackson, supported by-the will of the nation. They were on the pointof -doing the same on the question of introducing slavery into- the Territories, and now -they arc endeavoring to ruin the country under pretence of interference-with their slaves, of which none but a few fanatics had an idea. Only about three hundred and seventy thousand— about one-tenth of the white population.of the.slaye States—possess slaves, a large portion not owning; but only hiring them when the enumeration was made; they alone have an interest in .the question; the mass of. the people have no. interest-in it, but rather against it, because the presence of slaves in terferes with the demand for their, labor, and conse quently is injurious to them. The mass of the people—nine-tenths of the population—are not af fected by the proclamation; they have no slaves to lose under any contingency. The fungi are the slave-owners, and they alone will be affected if the terms offere d the proclamation asrec-not complied with; they deserve it.. By returning,- however, to their situation of equal .members of. the great re publie they will avoid the forfeiture of. their pro perty and the liberation of .their slaves, retaining the security afforded by the powerful protection of. the whole Union against all _danger, ittreign or do 'nestle, which they have long enjoyed: The synopsis of the proclamation is : Stop' your • •. n: stealth: burnin. house and mur months •' if you do not,,you will be fir • • upon wi 4i hot shot, you upstarts who have the slaves, instead Of the men who have no slaves.' at is ajuat met*. Nue, . intlieting the punishment upon the • guilty, sparing the dupes- who have been seduced and the cowards who had not. the spirit to resist the domi neering braggarts who coerced. them into the levies to fight for a cause not theirs,,but for the benefit of the few oppressors. The proclamatiosktumonncea a just measure. The leaders. of the insurrection are aimed at.. The whole disturbance is theirdetng, and they are to be exterminated. in punishment for their treason and of the blood they have caused to be shed but the extreme penalty is not to be enforced egainat the dupes and fools who have no interest in the slave question, except as they are,deprived of a market for their labor; but they deserve to, suffer. for. their cringing to the adventurers, the upstarts,.who. call themselves their superiors—the craven:l, they submit to be dragged out. by conscription, to fight battles in which they have no concern-ragooned" by Bragg, Buckner, Davis, and other such impostors, who pretend that the people, are with them, and are in favor of their rascality.; whereas,- in- truth,Ahe peo-. ple are the victims of:violence -and -robbery, forced ranks,into the .. of ethe rebel army_,_ and kept th e re, at. the PIMA - oki the bayonet. To ,encourage_ attachment to the - reiW.of thieves, the inhabitants are apprised that if idriVen (as they.will be) out of Kentucky' they will:burn • Lexington ; and Frank fortll3eithey. go. Their blandishment is burning hou , seizing property and persons; They are horrified with the. idea that the consequence of the proclamation will-be that the slaves will cut their throats. But they rejoice, and thank the Lord for their having shot and bayoneted thousands of our brave soldiers; murdering them, for murder it waa, even if done in tight, because it was in violation of the Constitution and laws, and they have hanged .many persons • for entertaining : Union principles. They , complain of their towns having been burned. We have burped no towns, except two or three, the inhabitants of , which, pretending. to be non-com batants, fired upon our steamboats and killed our people. Theycomplain of pillage. None has been committed by our soldiers, beyond, the inevitable tiking of some vegetables,norn, or provisions; yet they hold out to their troops the inducement of plundering Louisville, Washington,. Philadelphia, New York, and . Boston; they have plundered in Maryland and in Pennsylvania, where they ran at full speed into and out of town, plundering them and the country as they passed; and they say that they are determined to make our cities, and the Northern States, taste the evils of war. In their bogus Congress and to their newspapers they. inveigh bitterly against General. Butler, for having prifclaimed that trulla who insult his sol diers at New - Orleans shall be punished as such women are punishable by the ordinances of that place. The penalty they pretend was intended, is the invention of their own, prurient imaginations. He never could have designs what they said he.did. The soldiers would have been too much disgusted by the spitting to lay hands on the creatures.; men would have strong stomachs who could visit the in fliction, which the Confederate ribalda indicate, upon women spewing and making grimaces about the streets. The ejection of saliva does net seem , to have abated, undeterred, if not provoked b,- threats of the consequences they expected ; when, owever, it became known that General Butler did not mean that, but meant committal to the calaboose, the water-brash ceased. He is not the man to prescribe what, they attributed to him-_-sic tae rain,voPis. The. wholething, pulling op their skirts and, tal,shows that. none but indeeenffemales were guilty of the black guardism ; there was no' occasion tar raising their dresses when passing; the se:tilers were the persons to danger of •contagion. The fungi call the Butler proclamation an insult to the South ern • Wigs. If the Southern ladies' shake their skirts and spit at men in theatreets, their brim stones must be a preclos set. The gaseous rebels themselves insult their own women by classi fying them with the dispayers of their sek, vim are not to be deterred by expectations of conseqt}enoes the journalists and the bogus Congress assured them would result from their conduct. It is_ a toirning shame that members of the bogus ,CongreaJ3 and their leading oewspaperS should, in order to,-dispa rage General Butler, Assimilate indecent' female s with respectable women in the Sonthe States, - niany - of whom !fire conspicuous foci refine ment, and attractions, ir,spite of their .association with thieves, pirates; perjurers., and traitors.
