MINOR STRATEGY or The REBELs-We
find the following account Of the capture Of an
army train by the rebels in the correspondence
of a New York contemporary. 1t happened
q week ago last Thursday
AT Occoquan creek squad Of Stuart's
cavalry captured twenty-siX new army wagons
fully loaded and three suffers wagons That
feat was cute enough to be creditable to any
genius of the Yankee race. Stuart crossed the
Rappahannock at Ellis Ford, and took almost
= direct rnufr II &c =-.pPezvl, VI Il cross road
toward Dumfres. At an out of-tbe-wav Mace
II or Is miles from the vii age, he halted and
sent forward q small squad Of blue coated SOL
diers to scout on the road between Dumfrles
and the village Of Occcquan. AT the latter
place they espied the train, and resolved to
capture it by diplomacy rather then the eXer-
else Of force, 70. tie most excellent reason that
their party was small, while, on the other hand
there were about 1900 Union troops, including
Rush's Lancers, within : ght. So the leader
Of the rebel recolnOlterng party rode up to
the officer in charge of the train, and SAID he
had been sent to conduct it 10 camp, and di
rected the train to follow him. The order was
obeyed, and from directly under the noses of
our troops the train was led in a south west
erly direction, until the BrentsyiIle and Dunn
IIlPS ROAD WAS fcdtHcu. mere Inc thhlNduNCE
of the train began to surmisc that something
was wrong, when the rebel lieutenant directed
him to cross the main road, and take cross
road to the left, still pursuing a southwestery
direction. An objection was made: ne doubt
ed the propriety of continuing in thai direction,
whereupon the rebel officer put period to all
cavillng by saying ''Sr, Gen. Stuart desires
you to 60 that wayn The hint was sufficient,
and the train, master and guard moved on in
the direction Indicated This is the story told
by an officer of the party, and who was quite
indignant at the deception practiced. No such
movement, 1t is true, can be found in any book
of military tactics, nor does any writer. upon
military law, as far as my knowledge eXteads,
say anything about such movement. How
then puld unsuspecting and unsophisticated
Union officers be expected to guard against il
The rebels are constantly executing similar
movements, disgracing few and Notifying
every Union soldier. Almost everywhere, il
fact, the rebels crcumvent or outwit US by the
exercise of minor strategy.

According to previous announcement" the
HERALD appears this morning reduced in size.
The well-known ''paper famine" left only the
alternative to the newspapers, generally, to les
sen their size or advance their rates of SUBJ
scription. 1t is only necessary to mention
upon this point, that given number of our
present sheets costs us considerably more
money than the same number of the larger
sheets cost us last summer.
We have hitherto published the largest daily
paper in the State; probably the largest to De

has enabled us to do so, ard still would, were
1t not for the enormous price of paper. ouf

THE ALABAMA.-The manner in which the
Alabama humbugged the San Jacinto at Fort
de France, Martinique, is thus described by
Dioro de Santiago de Cuba of December 10:
ssThe French authorities had to keep the
excessive zeal of the Yankee sailors within
bounds, as they thought themselves sure OF this
prize, which has given them so much trouble
and annoyance.
The commanders of both steamers went on
shore at Martinique, and in one of their fire.
qlent meetings the captain OF the Alabama
said to the commander of the San Jacinto:
| have no more than one hundred and six
ty men and twelve guns. You have five hun
bred of the former and thirty of the latter
If you will promise not to use your guns, |
will attack you. by boarding and take and de-
stroy your vessel
The captain of the San Jacinto did not wish
to accept this challenge, observing that, any
way, he had the Alabama secure. The captain
of the Alabama, without taking any notice of
this bravsdo, appeared to be occupied in the
construction of kind of raft out of large
bundles of dried grass and tar, in view of the
Federal sailors. His first idea, no doubt, was
to provoke an attack but as the last nights of
his stay were very dark, the captain of the
Alabama (whose vessel is a screw steamer, and
goes sixteen miles an hour erected some false
topmasts of bamboo canes and cocanut tops,
hoisted his lights to make the deception more
complete, and, under full head of steam,
passed out of port by the side of the San ia
cinto.
The illusion of the Federal captain, who
took her for one of the French transports
that are every moment entering aud leaving
the port, was SO great that he was for four
days afterwards cruising outside Of the harbor
and amusing himself with the expectation OF
his prize in perspective. When he came to
know for certainty that he had been hum
bug ed. he heard also that the Alabama had
burned an American schooner which had sailed
from St. Pierre"
HOSPITAL STORES FROM IRA.-- The La

sTUART's CAVALRY RAID. - This raid
seems to have been rather failure, compare,
lively speaking at least. When last heard
from, the rebel cavalry was beyond Draines
vile, fastening toward Leesburg. They
were headed of by Gen. Sigel and split into
two divisions by Gen. Siocum, but the excel
lence of their horses, their intimate knowledge
of roads and paths, and the active sympathy
of the inhabitants, favored their escape. Al
Dumfries they got sound thrashing from
1900 of S els infantry.

The ALABAMA.-More than one application
has been made to the government by mer-
chants and ship-owners in New York and
Boston for letters Of marque to authorize pri-
vate pursuit and capture of tle Alabama.
They have been refused, necessarily. 1t IS
said that bill to meet the case of this and all
other pirates will speedily go through Con-
gress on its reassembling. Ship owners in
New York may soon hail the privilege of fit
