REPULSE OF THE REBELS.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. z, 1862.
Advices from tho Southwest tonight say that
the Rebels under Gems. HindInan and Marmaduke,
% 600 strong, Attempted TO force Gen. Blunts po
sition at Cane Hill, ARK, yesterday, but were
driven back.
This morning the Rebels drove Gen. Blunt's pick
cts three miles brit on the arrival Of reenforcements
tho Rebels were igain driven back.
The opinion of Gen. Blunt is that the demonstra'
ton Of tie Rebels was made TO cover their retreat
as they were Telling timber all night, probably to
obrtruct the road and prevent pursuit.
Gen. Blunt's forces have held the Rebels in check
for four days. Gen. lIerron's command will re-
enforce him tomorrow.

The immense volumes of smoke, however, that
arose last evening Oh the opposite eide. above the
hills overlooking Fredericksburg, and seemed to ex
tend for miles in a western and northwestern direc
ton, demonstrated hat the presumed retrograde
oyemeat Il made at all, was meant only to bring
them under better shelter in the rsvnes between
the frst and second rause, and in the woods upon
the latter, from the piercing northwest winds pre-
vailing since day before yesterday.

side for reasons that will be developed in few
jsys.
The range Of tic Rebel encampments in a West
en- direction having evidently been extended within
tie last few days, 1t is presumed that Sonewall

extreme left.
The intense cold Of the last 4S hours is combining
