straIion OF any kind had been made by the rebels
against our troops, the stories 20 that effect in
the rebol papers being pure inventions. On
the olaer hand, sur troops are making rapid
advances into the State. making their positions
secure as they 60, and scouting parts are daily
rashed in every direction-one proceeding from
Port Royal Island almost within sigat of Savan-
nah. A portion ofthe Seventy. Reg iment
had made reconnaissance fifteen miles from
Beaufort. and taken six rebel prisoners. These
reconneissances and scOats had esla oished the
fact the rebels are able to concentrate, in
short time, upon any given point, from fifteen
TO twenty thousand men. Another Important
guRboat reconnaissance had been made. which
had been pushed within fifteen miles Of Charlie
ton, at town called Rockwell. Here force
Of four hundred rebels was found which fed in
ranic when an inferior farce of our men was
landed. The Empire City also brings later
news from Tybse Island. The Union forces
there are still engaged ON the inIranchments

Christmas HOLIDAYS

Passed of in this community without the usual
incidents and casualties common to the occa-
sion; in fact. it was an unusually quiet day,
though none the less sGjoyed by the most Of
people, for Ia is annual season Of festivities will
have it's usual tide Of joyous esenls-if not in
wild hilarily, in the more refined social scenes
around the domestic hearth. The juveniles
boiled over with exuberance at the prOfusion Of
sugar pIums, nuts, candies snd the long expect.
ed visit Of Kriss Kringle and her bounteous
gifts in 6Iling their stockings aad loading their
Christmas-trees. Our confectionery shops have,
perhaps, never done better business 90 any
recurring similar anniversary. There was,
we think, less drunkenness than usual, though
there are many who see no enjoyment in such
holidays beyond their potations, and with them,
1t is 10 be regretted that others, not accustomed
to such habits, were induced, under the pres.
sure of the surroundings, 10 participate in whal !
is considered the milder, though not less dan
geFous beverages-aPple.toddy, egg-nog. &c.
