RETREAT OF GEN. PRICE-ENCOMrUM
ON GEN. POPE.
OTTERvILLE, Dec. 26-Information, that
is supposed to be reliable, received here
says that alter the party General Pope
sent out to johnson county, drove in Gen.
Raines' pickets, Price withdrew Raines'
division across the river, and the next day
marched eight miles southwark with bis
whole force.
At last accounts our enemies were at
NeoshO, and the main army under Price
had just left Huntersville on their way to
Warsaw.
Price says that his retrograde movement
was in obedience to orders from the Presi-
dent of the Confederate States but his
men generally believe that it was in conse-
quence of General P0pe's advance, and
Prices fear that force would be thrown
forward to cut of his supplies southwark,
and another force advancing liz front-in
which event his supplies would have been
exhausted in few days, and he would have
been compelled to abandon his commanding
position at Osceola,
Whatever the motive, it is certain that
the move was not an advantageous one for
Price, for many of his men, who for months
have been expecting to march upon and
drive the Federals from the State, will be
disguised, and will refuse to follow him out
of Missouri.
General Halleck's policy of showing no
mercy to marauders and bridge burners. and
OF dealing the utmost leniency with those
who lay down their arms and return to their
houses and peaceful avocations, will do
much to restore peace to the State.
Gen Pope has received from the troops
under his command numberless evidences of
their appreciation of his ability. Yester-
day beautiful flag was sent to him, and
last night he was serenaded by one of our
best bands, and congratulations innumera
BILE came in upon him from every quarter.
The troops are in good condition, and
are anxious for move. General Pope is
sued an order some time ago making Colo
nels of regiments responsible for the con
duct of their regiments, and the transporter
ton and good order of arms and equip
ments. This has been enforced, and when
the order was issued for our last move we
were en- route in three hours, although the
order came at midnight. The success of the
movement, and the parise and congratula
lions that the troops have received have O
good effect upon them, and they will move
forward when next ordered with still great
er alacrity, and with still stronger assuran.
ces of success under General Pope's com.
mand.

terry, large quantities of ammunition, stores,
sledges, &C., for North America, also ar
rived at Halifax this morning.

to England the news of the escape of the
Sumter from Martinique, as also that on
the 18th of November the Sumter captured

18th for regiments to be held in readiness
No cavalry or horse artillery will 20 to

represented as on scale which would have
astonished people in anticipating.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says the general feeling is that Gen. Scott
has gone back with the intention of en-
tightening the Washington Cabinet as to
the ideas of the French Government. He
is doubtless acquainted with the opinions
of the Emperor, and that it is not favora.
BILE to President LincoIn's policy. General
Scott will probably convince his country
men that they cannot count on the moral
support of France.
