(Par City of Londoo.)
NEW YORE, Nov. 26.

The Confederates are said to be mining exten-
sively in Petersburg, and immense quantities of
powder have been received there from the South.
General Lee reports that in an attack on the
night of the 17th General Pickett captured one
colonel, two captains, two lieutenants, and 113 men.
The Richmond Enquirer state, that on the 18th
inst. the Federals made desperate but unsuccess-
ful attempts to retake the ground gained by General
Pickett.

General Breckenridge reports that his cavalry,
under Generals Basil Duke and Vaughan, routed
the Federal forces under Gillem at Bull's Gap on
the 14th, capturing several hundred prisoners, 10
stand of colours, 6 pieces of artillery, 50 loaded
waggons, and a large number of small arum.
Other accounts state that Breckenridge had pur-
sued Gillem to Strawberry Plains, and captured
850 prisoners and 150 waggons, and that Gillem
finally retreated in the night to the fortifications of
Knoxville.

The Confederates attacked the Federate at Fayet-
villa, Arkansas, on the 28th ult., but were repulsed.
The town was then closely invested until the 3rd
inst., when the Confederates were reinforced by
6,000 men of Prioe's forces. The Confederates
were held in check until the following day, when
Generals Curtis and Blunt arrived, and the Confe-
derates retreated with the loss of 1,000 men.

The Richmond &ntinel of the 21st ult. contains a
letter from Vice-President Stephens to Senator
Semmes, of Louisiana, which states he does not
favour any convention of the States, as has been
reported, unless the proposal for such a convention
should come from the Federal government. Mr.
Stephens adds that the old Union and constitution
are dead for ever, ereept so far as the constitution
has been preserved by the Confederacy. There is
for the Union m it was no resurrection by any power
short of that which brought Lazarus from the tomb.
He concludes by stating that his views have not
changed since 1861, that he then considered the
issue before the South to be independence or sub-
jugation ; and that when Georgia seceded be, in
full consciousness of all prospective trials, sacri-
fices, and responsibilities, pledged himself to stand
by her, and he should keep his pledge.
