HEADQUARTERS

'AAf 10 vi W@ANAfy 80
SIR I enclose you a letter of instructions to
Gen. Stevens, commanding the second brigade
of this division, of Dec. 9th. The simple object
Of this dash was to destroy the batteries which
the enemy appeared TO have erected on the
C0osaw river, for the obstruction of the naviga-
ton and passage Of that stream, and also to
| punish him for the insult of firing into the
steamer Mayfower, on her recent passage up
the stream to sound the depth Of the channel
The affair succeeded perfectly and the enemy
were driven out of their entertainments, their
batteries demolished, and the property found
there destroyed with little or no loss Of life on
our side. When the object Of the expedition
was executed, Gen. Stevens returned to Port
Royal Island. As soon as his report reaches me
it will be forwarded to you.
LONDON, December 26.-The German papers
state that France alone has expressed views on
the American conflict. They also state that the
circular of NJ. ThOUvenel was not communicated
to all European powers, and therefore it is not
certain whether a reply viii be given to it.
PARIS, December 26.-The Constitutional
proves by legal arguments that the detention Of
Messrs. Mason and SlideH was a violation of in
ternational rights.
New YORK, January 9-The provost mar
shall general has issued an order requiring all
publishers Of newspapers in the State Of Mis-
souri,, the st. Louis city papers excepted, to fur
nish his Office with a copy Of each issue for IN
spection, a failure to comply with which win
render the paper liable to suspension.
Great excitement occurred 4 in the Chamber of
Commerce this afternoon, on the occasion of the
election of officers, which resulted in the with
drawal Of the Union members. Measures were
subsequently set on foot for the establishment of
a Union Chamber Of Commerce, which will be
Immediately carried cut. The trouble occurred
in consequence of secession members refusing
by their votes to admit a number of Union ap-
plicants for membership.

Abolition Ourrages on the potomac.

From the Winchester (Va) Republican, January IOl
From Romney we have had exciting news.
Gen. Reynolds, now in command, in order to
inspire his cut-throats with entire confidence in
his ruttianism and brutality, has been guilty Of
conduct the most hardened savage would shud-
der at. Murder and arson are among the least
of the crimes he INDUCES in for pastime; such
lat least is the cOrroborating evidence every wit
ness is burdened with from that quarter. On
Thursday last it appears that the Yankees, some
thousand strong, left Romney and surprised the
militia, 600 in number, under Col. Monroe. at
Hanging Rock, Que mile this side Of Col. Blues.
and fourteen this side of ROmney, the enemy
capturing two Of our guns, and securing what
has been regarded heretofore as an i~mpreqnable
position. We lost none in killed, wounded. or
prisoners. Not being able to account for so
strange a result ourselves, we would refer our
readers to Mrs. Randolph's receipt for cooking a
hare. After taking possession Of this position,
the enemy next visited the farm Of Col. Blue.
killing all his stock and burning his barn and
all of his OutbUildings. Some report bis dwell
ling as burned also, but this lacks confirmation.
On their return towards ROmney, old Mr.. Reed.
a worthy and loyal citizen, was shot, unfortunate
" not m%Ortally, and then locked in his house.
which was fired and burned to the ground over
his head. Some two thousand Of these despe-
radOes hold possession Of Hanging Rock, while
Romney is occupied by about 6000. Whether
they VIII be suffered to winter there, time will
tell. We at least have no fear of their attempt
ing TO come here.

KENTuoKY ITEMS.

The following items Of news the Courier takes
from the Louisville Journal of the 10th inst:
The river IS rising at this point, with six feet
water in the canal last evening. The weather
is mild, cloudy and damp.
A dense fog has prevailed on the river the last
twenty-four hours, which has caused an almost
total suspension of navigation for the time.
Col. Whittaker's Kentucky regiment has gone
forward from New Haven in the direction OF
Munfordsyille. Capt. Billing, the efficient quar-
termaster OF the regiment, arrived in the city last
evening on business connected with his office.
A locomotive passed over the railroad bridge
across Green river, at Munfordsville, on Wednes-
day-the FIRST passage OF the kind since the
completion Of the structure.
Camel coal has been discovered at Crab
Orchard, Ky, by the troops there, and the in
h~abitants are astonished at ii. One man said
that several years ago he had dug a well on an
adjoining farm, through the Z" same sort of stuff, %
but it had never occurred to him that it was
Camel coal.
Michael Mckinney, who deserted from Buck
ner,s army recently, and subsequently oined the
Federal troops at Danville, Ky, was so true to
his rebel principles that he stole $3.50 from his
sutler a few days ago and fed to Cincinnati
He was pursued and arrested, however, and
taken back to Danville, where be WILDE tried fol
| desertiOn and robbery.
