NEw YoRK, Dec, 30.-The Tribune's dis
patch referring to the rebel raid says, as to
the raid itself, the closing and keeping tight
shut a line fifty miles long in such a country
as Virginia is an impossibility, save with the
use OF cavalry in quantities that our present
cavalry system doesn't admit OF.

Very Late from Richmond.
The Rebel Law Of Retaliation.
An Important Order.

We have glanced over a copy Of the Rich
mond Dipotch, Of the 4th instant, which con-
tains a highly important order from the Adju-
tant aud Inspector General Of the rebel gov
ernment, dated August /, 1862. 1t recapitu-
lstes the orders Of the President Of the United
States, Of Major General Pope, and OF Brig.
General stenwehr with regard to foraging on
the enemy, confscation, &C., and then adds the
following
In the event Of the capture Of Maj Gen. Pope,
or Brig. Gen. Steinwehr, or Of any commissioned
officer serving under them, the captives 80 taken
shall be held in close confinement So long as
the orders aforesaid shall be continued In force
and unrepealed by the competent military au.
thorities Of the United States, and in the event
Of the murder Of any unarmed citizen or inhab.
liant Of this Confederacy, by virtue or under
pretext Of any order hereiubefore recited,
whether with or without trial.-whether under
pretence Of such citizen being o aspy or hostage,
or any other pretence-it shall be the duty Of
the commanding general Of the forces Of this
Confederacy 10 cause Immediately TO be hung,
out OF the commissioned officers prisoners as
aforesaid, number equal TO the number Of our
own thus murdered by the enemy"
President JEFF. Davis writes letter strongly
endorsing the above general order, charging
that the United States waited until the cartel
for the exchange Of prisoners was agreed upon
before II declared war Of indiscrimlnate rob.
berry and murder, and has directed copy Of
the order to be addressed to the commanding
general Of the army Of the United States.
The Richmond Dispatch, briefly commenting
on this subject, says:
"The following order explains itself. A
day Of retribution Is at hand for the outrages
which have 50 long characterized the conduct
Of the enemy in their prosecution of the war"
HIGH PRICES IN RICHMoSD.-The same paper
says that sweet potatoes were selling iu the
markets on Saturday at SO cents piece. Those
that commanded that price were large speci.
mems. On the same day good sized tomatoes
were selling at $3.50 per dozen.
The Dispatch also complains Of Yankee out
RACES in Nausemond and Isle Of Wight counties,
and says that the people will suffer very mate
rally In the article Of bacon. 1t adds that a
perfect reign Of terror prevails in some por-
tions OF these counties, and the people are
leaving their homes by night and secreting
themselves in the forest by day, so that they
may escape the clutches of the invaders, and
reach. II possible, the Confederate lines. which
do not now extend beyond Blackwater.
