the most difficult and daring raids of the war has
just been made by part of the army of the from
tier. Saturday, Gen Heron started with por-
ton of his cavalry and infantry for the other
side of the Boston Mountains. Gen. Blunt left
Cane Hill at the same time by another ronte.
The columns about 5000 strong went in light
marching order, with six days cooked rations
and marched AZ miles without stopping. Gen.
Heron took two batteries without caissons. The
artillery and baggage wagons were drawn across
the mountains by twelve horse teams. At day
light yesterday the commands joined at Lees
Creek three miles south of the mountains, where
the cavalry and artillery, numbering 1000, started
for Van Buren,, leaving the infantry TO follow as
fast as possible. Rebel regiments of cavalry were
encountered at Dripping Springs.
Aftera sharp skirmish they We're put to flight,
leaving seven killed and many wounded on the
field. Our loss was none killed, and but few
wounded Our forces Immediately followed the
flying rebels 10 Van Buren,, where splendid
charge was made, led by Generals Blunt and
Heron in person. resulting in a complete VIC
tory over the enemy. The rebel cavalry rushed
aboard some steamers and escaped to the other
side of the river. Two steamers and over one
hundred prisoners (among them several officers
and Hindman's express messenger) were cap
tured. third boat was run ashore, which,
with those that took the rebels across the river,
will be destroyed. A large quantity of corn,
camp equippage, transportation. mules and
horses were also seiz ID. The full extent of the
captures is not yet known
When the messenge left the infantry and ar
tery were about eight miles in the rear, has

roads would allow. The people of that section
were taken entirely by surprise, and terribly
frightened. Hindman is on the other side of the
river, with his whole force, unable and unwilling
TO engage us. The pathway to the Arkansas riv-
er has now been opened, and if the gunboats

stuart,s Late Unfortunate Raid.

New YORK, Dec. pa special from Wash
ington states that last evening the rebel cavalry
were near Chantilly, six miles from Fairfax
Court House. In passing Stoughton's forces
last night, though covered by wood, and flying
quickly, Stuart got discharge of artillery and
musketry. Six dead horses were found this
morning, and there were tokens of the removal
of the wounded. The twenty five ambuances
and wagons they removed were empty, and the
forty prisoners in their Iain were motley crew
of suffers, citizens, and soldiers. Canby's fight
at Dumfrees was a very handsome one on his
side. With inferior numbers he repealed the at
tack of greatly superior force of rebels.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 Intelligence from
Alexandria represents that some of Stuart's cav
airy force, with artillery, were yesterday campcd
twelve miles from there, not far from Burke S
station, on the line of the Orange and Alexan-
dria railroad. Two rebel cavalry men, wearing
uniforms similar to our own, came into and rode
about Alexandria, Sunday. They did not re-
main long.

The COMING PROCLAMATION The presi.
dent has been strongly pressed to place the pro.
clamation of freedomupon high moral grounds,
and TO init oduce into the instrument unequivo.
cal language testifying to the negroes right to
freedom upon the precise principles expounded
6y the emancipationists of both Old and New
England. This claim Is resisted, for the reasons
that policy requires that the proclamation be is
sued as war measure, and not a measure Of
morality and that law and justice require that
the slave should be enabled to plead the procla-
nation hereafter II necessary to establish 1u-
dieially their title to freedom. They can do this,
the president says, on proclamation proceeding
as war measure from the commander.in-chief
OF the army, but not on one issuing from the
bosom Of philanthropy Y Tribune.

EMANCIPATIoN.-The words which have rep
resented and do now represent the ideas in which
every man, woman, and child in our country has
deep interest, such as 'war," Union" econ
federacy," are being supplanted by that which
heads this auicle-emancipaton. 1t has not
been the choice of our president, nor of a ma
jority of our people, to have it so. They would
have won success, had it been possible, without
recognizing the existence of slavery. They
sought only to reconstruct, and honestly stroye
to bring it about on the old conditions. Fail
ure" has been written upon the attempt And
now, signaed as yet by no national declara-
ton of regard for the rights of "hulnan
nature" such as cheer US in the state
papers of our revolutionary era, acknowl-
edging only military necessity which we can
not evade, we grudgngly offer on and after
the coming new year, freedom to the bondmen.
No thoughtful man can witness such wondrous
change without desiring to know how such trans
formations have succeeded elsewhere without
careful study of the several experiments which
this generation has witnessed; and an intense
desire 10 learn from them the lessons of faith and
courage which we most need to know. But at
array of volumes and reports would appal
man of ordinary leisure; and we find
''facts" so contradictory of each other that few
have the needed opportunities, saying nothing of
ability, to Sift the testimony until the refined
gold of truth rewards their trial. Happily mind

of singular impartialitv, of profound religious
convictions. and with every advantage Of posi-
ton, has been scrutinizing all the testimony and

A MAGNIFIcENT RESULT Those who arc
always croaking about The lukewarmness of the
loyal states, may comfort themselves with the
following facts:-A the meeting of the United
States sanitary commission held in New York
city last week, it appeared that besides immense
supplies of hospital stores distributed, they had
received $525,000 in money, of which $50 900
are still in their treasurer's hands, and subject
to order The western sanitary commission
(of St. Louis,) which is an independent organ
ization, has received and distributed hospital
stores to the value of three hundred thousand dol
lars, and 100000 in money. It had on the
LIST Of December $4,000 on hand, and its expen-
ditdres are at the rate of $40, 600 month. The
whole Of this is by purely voluntary gift from
individuals Nor is this the whole Every state,
and almost every city and town, has It's separate
channels of munihcence for soldiers in the field,
or for their families at homc and what is done
by the above-named commissions is probably
less than half of the voluntary contributions in
the past eighteen months. We call this a mag.

AFTER THE BATTLE.-It was stated, after
Saturdays engagement at fredericksburg, that
the rebels had SO far exhausted their supplies of
artillery ammunition as to be compelled to fire
bars Of iron from their cannon. The New York
Times correspondent says: "These statements
are not only confirmed, but tbs certain that they
also fired stones, and whatever missiles were at
the time attainable The fact serves to Justify
Gen. Burnside in his purpose 10 fight again on
Sunday purpose which vas overruled by his
field officers. Had he renewed the battle, success
would most likely have crowned his efforts, and
the army of the Potomac might have won the
substantial fruits of victory of which it has so
often been deprived"
