The Occupation Of Big Bethel.

Cor. Of the N. Y. Evening Post.
LITTLE BETHEL, VA, March q.
The reconnaissance of our troops to-
wards Big Bethel has just been compile
ted with the most satisfactory results.
Preparations had been made for move
ment in force against the enemy at that
point, on the supposilion that we mig
encounter a stubborn resistance, but the
sudden flight Of the rebels left an easy
prey to our soldiers. A strong detach-
ment of cavalry, infantry and artillery,
was detailed for this service two com
panies Of Berdan's Sharpshooters march
in the advance. The expedition was in
command of Gen. Fiz John Porter.
THE MARCH.
Yesterday our skirmishers reported
the presence of rebel spies at various
points on the road to Big Bethel, and du-
ring the march we kept sharp eye up
on every bush and log house, where an
enemy might have been concealed, but
tho rebels carefully avoided US, and near
ly all the houses along our route were oc-
cupied only by women and children. A
few Union farmers, honest looking, fat
and lazy, regarded our force with inter-
est as We passed, but said nothing.
The face OF the country over which we
marched, was level and beautiful. The
road was smooth and solid, so good in
fact that rail track could be lain upon
il with little trouble. Several fine man
sions, surrounded by spacious grounds.

A NtW YEAR WITH AN OLD FRIEND.

On New Years day of 1862, that world-re-
nowned and unrivaled gem of American Journal
ism, the peerless New YORK MERCURY, entered up
OH the twenty-fourth year of the most brilliant
career ever achieved by paper. During the
past year it has been the teacher, story-teller,
mentor, and oracle of tDo hundred thousand An,e-
ricdn homes, from ocean to ocean--and from Que
bee, in Canada to Pensacola, on the Gulf of Mex
leo. Young and Old, rich and poor, have revel-
ed in its enchanting stores of wisdom, romance
art, poetry, and genial hulnor; and its praise is
"FarniIiar in their mouths as household words"
The noble patriot-soldier in his tent too, has
whi!ed away the tedium of camp life in the alb
sorbing review of its ..,
FORTY BRILLIANT COLUMNS,
finding in; them fascinating mental discipline
known only to those. who rally to the Banner
Sheet Of the Grand Army Of american Intellect and
Genius! E,i - 3.,fta
In commencing New Year, the proprietors of
the New York MERCURY can only say, that it
shall be their aim to make their great family Jour-
nal of American literature for 1862, more bril-
liant and enchanting than ever, cin its concentra-
ton of all the worlds grandest and most beauti-
full specialties in healthful Romance, graceful
Poetry, elegant and quaint Gossip, refining
knowledge, sparkling Aumor, and entertaining
News-until, like love, it F-
iu'cs le SouIt, camp. lU6 NWef,''
as it already rules the domestic firesde.
The editorial tone and National departments of
The New YORK MERCURY will continue true to
that lofty spirit of patriotism which has made it
necessity of the people since the War begun,
and kept it in enthusiastic demand when other
sheets were dying all around it for want of popu-
lar support.
Already the largest Literary Journal in the
world, and famous as the focus of thousand
brilliant literary regulations, its programme for
1852 will be magnificent beyond all precedent
The most celebrated pens of this country and Eu-
rope have been secured in its service at an out
lay equal to the expense of more than one ma
tional government in the Old World and its no.
velettes, or continued stories, for 1862, will be
the most splendid triumphs Of elegant Fiction
ever published. To these, too, the magic pencil
of the greatest American artists, Mr.. FELIX o. @.
BARLEY, will lend the aid of pictorial art.

The last news from Europe settles the
question Of meditation and Of Intervention
by the European Powers in our affairs for
the present, at least, il not altogether, and
the Tribune remarks:
Russia holds back. England refuses, aud
France alone is willing tointerfere in what
is none Of her business. That both Russia
and England are wise they, happily, are
persuaded, and we ara confident that France
will be led into the path of wisdom, though
il may be against her will. Should the
Emperor propose to acecpta policy in which
he would find no hackers in the other Great
Powers, il might possibly lead to new com
plications from which il might not be easy
to extricate himself with honor aud credit.
So shrewd ruler with not fail to foresee
such possibility, and conclude that the
safer and wiser way is 10 let Us alone.
The apprehensioBs of any interference on
the part Of European poWes in the war in
this country, has not Of late been much felt,
but so long as il remained doubt il was .
painful one. There viii be sense Of re-
lief, now, at its positive removal, and the
Notion win feel all the stronger in the
sense that it confronts all the possible diff
culties Of the case in the suppression, pure
and simple, Of the Southern rebellion.

has yet sent out; and the potentates Of the
Southern Confederacy may we'll grow nm
easy in trying TO solve the mystery Of its
destination.
When General Banks first arrived in this
cily, 10 commence the work Of organization,
il was announced in certain quarters, and
generally believed, that he was bound for
Texas. The entire coast Of that State be-
ing now in the possession Of our Govern.

matter, and would result in stopping large
contrabaud cotton trade, now undoubtedly
carried on by way of Mexico, il not 10 Sc.

4 This theory, however, was only surnise
as is also the assertion that the expedition

which it would be easy to name. The trutl
is that no one knows tho destination of thii

have devised, he might expect Presiden

Tho General receives everybody kindly
and politely, including inventors; but h'
does not allow them to waste much of bi
time, and by the industry with which b,
labors, makes it certain that no unnecessar,
delay will occur in fitting out this great ex
pedition.
