From the n. y. Evening Post OF Iuesdayl
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-By gentleman
who left Richmond on the 10Th, we nave the
following later Information:
He SAYS that the Richmond papers OF the
10Th have dispatches from Bristol, Tennessee,
stating that Gen. Longstreet with his army
was sdyau cling, and no doubt a severe battle
would be fought in the vicinity OF Jones aoro',
Tenn.
Reinforcements from Col Jackson's and
Gen. Sam. Jones' command were going to
I.ongsfreet.
dispatch from Meridian, Miss, reports
that Joe JohnsfoD's army is In motion. aud IL
is coniectured that It intends to reinforce Gen.
Hardee.
1t is also rumored in Richmond that General
Les will be sent to take command In North west
Gecrgia, rs the only hope OF retrieving the
heavy disasters to the rebels in that quarter.
His army in Virginia has gone into winter
quarters, except one division under General
Early.
Some unessiness and excitement existed in
the vicinity Of Staunton. Va, in consequences
of the near approach Of Averill's command
Imboden and Echols were endea yoring to OPP
pose Averili's further advances, and q fight Is
expected In that quarter also. -
In the Ie6al Congress the substitute bill has
been abrogated, aud all persons VINO have put
substitutes In the army are now compelled TO
Henry S. Fcote still continues his severe do.
nunciation OF the Rebel Administration.
II IL ruuored that commissioners will be
sent 10 the Court CT MADRID In behalf Of the
Rebel Government.
