Gen. Burnside was reinforced during the

IT. FALMOUTH, Va, Dec. 16-1:i5 Pm.
During last night the army of the Potomac
evacuated their position on the opposite side
OF the river. The movement was perilous
one, but it was conducted in safety. The
artillery was the first to cross the river. The
last of the infantry brought up the rear
shortly after daylight.
The enemy never discovered the movement
until it was too late to do us any damage
As soon as the last man had got safely across
the river the pontoon bridges were removed
thus cutting off all information between the
two shores.
Our wounded are all safe and on this side
There was a heavy wind all last night, ac-
companied with considerable rain, which as
sisted US in our movement and which pre-
ventea the rebels learning our intentions.

GEN. HOvEY,S EXPEDITION.

CAIRO, Nov. II,
Reliable Intelligence from below received
here to-day, states that Gen. Hovey's expo
dition from Helena into Mississippi, cut up
and destroyed a portion Of the Mississippi
Central Railroad, and burned and otherwise
injured the Mississippi and Tennessee Rail
road. In the progress of the expedition
they met the enemy at three different points,
in all OF which encounters our arms were
successful, and the rebels were driven before
our artillery as we'll as cavalry. Skirmishes
were first fought at Tallahatchie, second, at
Working river, and third, near Oakland. The
last was the most severe, and in it General
Hovey's men lost 10 horses, and a few men
wounded none were killed. One cannon
was lost, the horses being all shot. General
Hovey states that he did occupy Granada,
all other reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, without the loss of man. He
also captured rebel carrier with important
dispatches from one General to another, sta
ting that the tonfedcrates would certainly
fight at the Big Black river.

THE PIRATE ALABAMA.-It is not worth
while to conceal the fact that whole fleet
OF steamers are after the Alabama. The Van
dcrbilt sailed yesterday from the Lights y
direct to Fayal, and runs a fair chance OF
falling in with the pirate on the way. She
is expected to meet there two United States

ron, and the three will then take different
courses The names Of the steamers cannot

steam frigates, and one " ten-knot steamer,
all of which will be off IN few days. Al

- TIE Richmond Examiner in speaking O

THE Richmond Examiner in speaking of
the formidable preparations on foot for the
suppression of the rebellion says:
1.-THE preparations of the United States to
subjugate the South are now truly gigantic.
In the East, West, and North, ON land and
water, everywhere and on all sides. the move
ments of the Federal army and fleets indicate
a zeal hope, fanaticiSui, a desperate avid
ity, that should Danish from every Southern
er's mind all thought of an early peace, and
nerve every loyal Southern hand for a battle
in which there will be no quarter. Northern
Virginia is again overrun. Richmond, Pct
ersburg, Weldon, Charleston and Mobile are
once more threatened Texas. undefended,
lies helpless aud bleeding in the power CT
the enemy. Forces are being prepared in
Missouri and Kansas for the invasion OF Ar

and Knoxville, and the Mississippi and trib.

atoms as soon as the foods come"

GEN. BANKS EXPEDITION has beer
good deal of speculation as to the destina
ton of Gen. Banks Expedition which recent
ly sailed from New York City. The mystic
ny is at last explained. The forces landed in
North Carolina, formed a junction with the
troops at Suffolk, Va, and are now moving
westward to cut the railroad running South
from Richmond, and cooperate with Gen
Burnside for the possession Of the rebel Cap
ital. This expedition is the largest ever fit
ted out by the government, and we may rea
sonably expect soon to hear Of important re
suits accomplished by it.
LATER-Tuesday night brought us thu
above news, and the dispatches Of Wednes
day night fatty contradict the saying that tn,
expedition passed Po,t Royal, S. e. on thu
Sth inst bound southwark, and states thai
one of Banks vessels had broke its machin
cry and had been left in that port for repairs
We are inclined to the belief that the later
repor, is the correct one, but "you pays
you're money, and takes you're choice. -
We shall probably have something reliable
in day or two.

SORGHUM CONVENTION.

A Sorghum Convention was held last week
at Rockford, Illinois, the proceedings Of
which were Of highly interesting character.
The result of the discussion are briefly sta
ted in the Chicago Tribune as follows:
First, then, Sorghum in all parts of the
| Northwest, where the larger varieties of lndi.
an corn perfectly mature, is an acknowledged
success. Its adaptation to the soil and the
the climate, the ease with which It cat, be
cultivated, and the certainty ola remunera-
tive crop, are acknowledged proved by ex.
perience which has been long enough and
broad enough to satisfy ALL Second, though
the yield Of syrupis large, there the accounts
may vary with the variations Of the soil and
temperature, and the perfection Of the ma
| chinery used, the knowledge, care and skill
| of manipulators,) and profitable at any fig
ure that syrup is likely to reach, the qnes-
ton, Can crystalized sugar be probably
produced from the sorghum is yet an open
one that the Convention was unable to set
| tie. A large number Of samples of sugar
have been prodsced, butmostly the results
Of experiments made on small scale and
without r. rd to cost. Bat they prove the
possibility of making sugar from sorghum.
Its profitable production, in composition
with the cane, is another matter, for the So
luton of which, longer trial, more capital and
additional experiments are required. Third,
the amount Of syrup made in Illinois alone,
this year, is estimated at tmo millions ef Sa!-
lons Of which Winnebago county alone gave
fifty thousand gallons Fourth, in most Of
the rural districts, where the attention Of the
farmers has been turned to sorghum, the
domestic syrup has nearly or quite driven
cane molasses out of the market. The for
mcr is the clearest, the most toothseme, and
nova days, much the ch apest Fifth, the
consumption Of saccharine food among the
rural population. where sorghum is grown,
has largely increased-familics that formerly
contented themselves with four to six gallons
of molasses per annum each, now find a bar
rel of syrup none too much for the years
consumption-a fact of great Importance to
dentists and manufacturers of artificial teeth,
and not without its value to the political econ
omist. This we believe, is a fair summary
Of the conclusion arrived at. saying nothing
of the discussions which the manner Of plant
ing, cultivating. gathering and manufnctur-
ing provoked. The showing is eminently
satisfactory.

-. I,ANnS. r.--.

Peter Melendy, the Commissioner appoint
ed by the Governor to select and locate these
lands, with his assistant, Mr.. G. Childs Of
Dubuque, gave US call few days since
They have been engaged for some weeks
past on, and near the line of the Dubuque &
Sioux City railroad in the performance OF
their duties A very thorough examination
of the country has been made from Webster
county, through to the Missouri river, and in
the course of which, about 1905 of the
24O, 600 acres granted, have been located
The Commissioners came down to Des Moines
on business connected with their mission,
and after brief stop returned to their field
of laborS to locate the remainder of the grant
some 10000 acres. t.a / =
The Comm issioners are not only selecting
the lands, but are giving considerable atten-
ton to the Geological features of the coun.
try, its Botany, its Natural History, &c
They are well qualified for these duties, and
we look for aeyaluable and interesting report
upon their observations. 9 1t viii be submit.
ted to the Governor in January. 81
They give as glowing account of some
portions of the country over which they have
travelled. Among other points of interest
mentioned, is Stormy Lake, in Buena Vista
county. within mile or two of the surve, ell
line of the Dubuque and Sioux City railroad
This sheet of water is about three miles in
length by two in width, and lies upon the di
yiding ridge between the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers. With the exception Of grove
of fifteen or twenty acres of timber, which
bounds the shore for short distance, it lies
in the broad, open prairie, encircled by a
beautiful beach of sand and gravel. Its wa
tiers are clear, pure, and abounding in pike
and pickerel. 1t is a great place of resort
for wild geese, pelicans, ducks and other wild
fowls. There is no settlement within eight
cen miles of it. The Commissioners located
large tract of land about, and in the ilnmc-
date vicinity of this lake. It's proximity,
with the fine country around it, to the line
of the railroad, must ere long make the To-
cality point Of special attraction to settlers.
