described in the Harrisburg Telegraph:
The night WAS very dark, and rain began
to fall before they left the camp. After
marching through mud shoe, mouth deem.
and in many places TO their knees, they ar
rived, about al hour before daylight, on
the Potomac, at point called " Sir John q
Rum six miles from their present eaun.
The men after they halted. suffered severe
" from the cold, as no fires we're permit
ted to be made until the day had dawned.
After several hours rest. they crossed in
flat to the Virginia side. Here they found
two companies of the Sixty second Ohio
regiment encamped, guarding a bridge,
which had hcen lately erected in place Of
one burned by the rebels on the g., Of Jan
uary last.
Information had been received that sew
eral companies were on their march, via
Bath, to destroy the present structure SO
lately built, and to prevent their approach
the detachment was so suddenly called out
They arrived in Bath, about two and half
iules back of the river, and there learned
that sevsral companies, which had been
sncsmped beyond there on the Winchester
road, pulled up stakes and made hasty
r.trest on their approach They returned
n camp that night, taking different road
home, and crossed the river opposite Han
cock, seven or eight miles from Bath.

ST. LOUIS, December 6th, 1862.
The signs Of activity in the Southwest are
not to lie construed as proof that the rebels
really design any hostilities in TINT section.
The rebel army under Hindman and Marina
duke, which fed SO inglorlously across Boston
Mountain when Gen. SchoGeld threw down
the gauntlet and dared them give battle, first
at NeTtonia and then at Cross Hollows, Elk
Horn, and lastly at Fayctyi1le, is no
better prepared to SO forth to battle to-day
against the army OF the frontier, than it was
when it retreated. The opinions ofarmy Off
GERS acquainted with the resources and pres
cnt condition Of the rebels in that region,
concur IN the belief that the recent move
ments are simply done to cover opera
tions elsewhere, and there is hardly doubt
that the strength Of the rebels is over esti-
mated. If the reports from Memphis, that
Gen. Holmes has crossed over with K, 600 men
from Little Rock to assist Pemberton, Price
aud Van Dorm, the explanation is easy, but
the previous accounts received from Arkansas
of The number Of rebels in that State, is con-
sidcrably less than 40 900 altogether, even in
Guiding Hindman's army.
4 suspicion is creeping over the public
mind here that Gen. Blunt's dispatches from
the Southwest are exaggerated. He has SO
often magnifed small atfairs that his state.
ment Of the number Of rebels pressing him
must be received with many grains Of allow
ance. His last dispatch to Gen. Curtis tells
how the rebels attempted to force his posi-.
tion with 2, eco men, and were repulsed; that
having on the succeeding day attacked his
pickcts they were driven back by reinforce
mems sent the pickets. As no details ofany bat
tie are given, and the final result being that
he had held them in check for four days, it is
evident that the ineoherency Of his dispatch
must be accounted for On some other hypothe
sis. Admitting that Blunt's dispatches are true
the results are insignificant. His army here
with Gen. Hcrron's reinforcements, may bt
safely relied upon when there is any fighting
| to be done.
The difficulties with the Missouri enrolled
| militia, on account Of their interference viii
| tho Presidents proclamation, and the order
Gen. Curtis relating to fugitive negroe
claimed by rebel masters, have increased rap
idly Of late. The enrolled militia regard it l

Since we first began to be entertained
