The NEws.-rhe last news received from
the East is that the Army Of the Potomac has
again been driven 10 the north side of the
Rappahannock. Thousands of brave soldiers
have been sacrificed. The only generals who
have heretofore successfully opposed the
rebels in the field have been stricken down by
the infamous Committee on the Conduct of
the War through whose Vaccinations and
traitorous intrigues Mcclellan, Porter, Sum
Der and Franklin, have been set aside, to make
room for men Of their own choosing. Who is
20 be the next general to lead the Union
army to the slaughter? Will it be Fremont :?
Perhaps So We believe that nothing but the
incapacity of our generals is the cause of this
defeat. An army of brave men, with the best
weapons known to the civilized world, we'll fed
and clothed, can not be defeated by an army
of half starved and ragged traitors only
through the incompetency of commauing gen
erals.

The weight of late inform;.. n from the
front satisfies that the rebel army recently
massed in the rear of Fredericksburg is being
scattered various directions. Thus, it is be-
lieved that they have at least withdraw from
their first line of works there, and deplOyrd
(or extended) their left to the vicinity OF Gull
pepper Court House, a distance of thirty nine
miles; probably for the protection Of their q Or
louisville railroad junction while their other
movements are being executed. .
Information Of an advance of a body Of 900
of their troops upon Gloucester Point and
Yorktown has been received; and, also, that
they have considerably increased their force on
the south side of James river, operating from
Petersburg rs their base.
Still further Information is at hand stating
that two brigades were recently met on the
march from Fredericksburg back to Rich
mond
We therefore conclude that the force in front
OF our army of the Potomac at this time is not
half as great its own.
In yenturing the movements mentioned abo ye
the r, Tel commanders are calculating upon the
difficulties which surround supplying our
troops at this season, if an attempt be made 10
take ad vantage of them. Believing these diff .
culties to be overratrd, we have strong hopes
that General Burnside will promptly take ad-
vantage Of the rebels over confidence.

TIIR NEW YEAR

The results of the war me- asures OF the Gov
srrment throughout the past year 10 re- sstab-
lisk the authority OF the Union over tho States
In rebellion, have not been such rs TO make
this a joyous day To the loyal section Of the,
country. Neverthelesssit behooves all hearty
Unionists 10 cast regrets and doubts behind
them, and 10 redouble the energy and earnest
ness with which they support the legitimate
authorities of the land in The restoration or :ho
Union as, il IN these dark hours the heart OF
the country faiirrs, all is lost. The hope for
the coming year is that those charged with the
prosecution of the war viii profit by their last
ysar's experience, aided by the lessons deduct
bic from the seeming so much bett'r manage
ment Of their SO much less available military
resources, which has marked the military ad
minis;ration Of the oiigarchy.
Webelieve that We surely possess all the NJ ces-
sary resources TO speedily crush the rebellion,
and that If the mistakes of policy and the errors
of omission and commission OF the past year be
avoided and corrected from this frrt OF jan
uary, 1863, the first OF January, 1861, will find
the authority OF the United States re-esta5-
l,shed over all the seeded States. Else, there
can be little room for hope that the I'D vent OF
that day will fail 70 find the contest substan-
TALLY settled against the right.
The sources from which the needed lessons or
counsels Of experience may be drawn, are so
fresh in the memories OF all that we need not
partcularize them here. In telling US why
We have failed up to this time, they surely
teach US how we May succeed hereafter, IL We
will but heed their warnings.
The great danger ahead is the possibility that
n majority Of the people Of the loyal States
may hesitate to sustain the Governments
military measures with the heartinrss ab-
to is
less 10 attempt TO disguise this patent fact. The
only possible remedy for this threatening state
OF things is display of such military energy
and efficiency, and an adherancc In future
to such moderation of policy Will i'm
press all with the belief that we not only
hare the power to crush the rebellion in due
time, but that that power is being welded 10
the legitimate end of restoring the Union in
ct. IS "a ell as in name.

TnE ADMISSION OF WESTERN VIRGINIA
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tunes says that in response TO questions
proposed by the President, each member OF the
Cabinet has prepared a written opinion upon
the question Of The aami Scion Of Western yir-
ginia as State.
"These opinions, though materially differing
regard 10 the probable results OF the adinis-
<foB OF the new State, were nearly unanimous
m opposition TO the Acknowledgement of the Old
boAAnion, and the establis hment on its ruins
OF tvs distinct common wealths, with two sets
o. - MAJORS in Congress. The meas ure was op-
posed by several members on the ground that
~ was virtual acknowied gment OF the les ality
OF secession. 1t was argued that if Virginia
was still State In the Union, the division was
Illegal, and that an admission OF the new State
would ccncede the claim set mp that the old
State. by Its secession, was absol we'd from it's
allegiance 10 the Union. Mr.. Blair is under

ground that n division of the State would re-
tard The development OF its resources. He be-
Alryes that the emanc patton o! the slaves would

and prevent q conflict Of interest; while by the
division the inhabitants OF West Virginia would
become isolated, and their condition made the
worse. The President also signifird his oppo-
