The presence and high state Of readiness of
our noble Muffreesboro army IS holding
Bragg idle with an immense rebel army,
and keeping them from cooperation with
Johnston against Grant. Il the latter sue
ceeds, then will be Rosecrans time for a
blow at Bragg. In the event Of mishap
at Vicksburg, Rosecrans is far enough
south, and his army should be fresh and
ready for any emergency that the new eris-
is may present. Rosecrans is helping
Bragg to do nothing most efectaully, and
cannot irst now be better employed.

E-The Copperhead journals assert that the
Slave States seeded for fear ofaggressions up
on their local institutions by the Republican
Administration.
Now read what the three Southern Com
missioners stated in a letter which was pub
Iished in the London Newspapers, November,
1862:
cit was from no fear that the slave would
be liberated that Secession took place. The
very party in power has proposed TO guarantee
slavery forever in the States, if the South
would but remain in the Union. Mr.. Lincoln's
message proposes no freedom to the slave, but
announces Subsection of the owner TO the will
Of the Union-in other words. to the will of
the North Even after the battle of Bull Run,
both branches of the Congress at Washington
passed resolutions that the war is waged only
in order to uphold that (oro-slavery) Consti-
tuition, and TO enforce the laws, (many OF them
pro- slayery,) and out oil III votes in The Low

NEW YORK, Dec. 81.
A New Orleans letter in the HeraId con.

A French division of troops had been out
fanked, after leaving the city Of Mexico, on
all expedition, and were retreating back to
the city.
Mr.. Gaithell, a correspondent captured at
the Bayou Coteau fight, states that there were
800 privateS and q officers captured with
him that the disaster was owing to the bad
conduct of Gen. Washburne and the gallant
ry Of Burbridge alone saved the whole corps
from capture"

Considering the contrabands and other I'm
ionists who nave escaped from the Confedera-
cy into the loyal States and sections, there
are not to-day one less than half the surviv-
ing population of the Slave States under the
Union flag. That is to say Of the Twelve
Millions relied on by Governor Seymour to
battle all possible efforts to put down the Re-
bellion, at least half are to day under the old
flag.
Now we submit to all candid men that it
was far more difficult to reduce the strength
of the Rebellion from twelve to six millions
of people than to overcome the residue. Say
nothing of material exhaustlon-of financial
ruin-of stocks of goods utterly consumed,
and no chance ofreplacing them-of the swift,
ignominious defeat of every attempt to fout
the rebel flag on the soil of the loyal States
we submit that the point is already establish
ed, that the Rebellion cent acjn. 1t may waste
an unreasonable time in ~dying-it may yet
do much mischief, destroy thousands of lives,
and waste hundreds of millions of property
but its success is no longer to be reasonably
feared. And the rage, the hate, the venom
betrayed by the rebel organs prove that their
conductors see this as we'll as we do. When
men in their condition are perpetually protest
ing that they will never give up-that they
don't despair-that they nave still a chance of
succcss-the world understands that their
last ditch is just at hand.-New York Tri-
bane.

E.Rfast from Ehnriexton.

New YORK, Dec. ga Charleston letter
to the Baltimore Awericaa, dated on the feet,
oath, says; '.As | intimated in my last, we
have sailed down here with the expectation
of a month or two more of inactivity.
The strike among the engineers at the
North, which has delayed the completion OF
the monitors, and deprived our iron-clad fleet
of reinforcements which were expected here
more than a month since, has been the primary
cause of delay.
The disaster to the Weehawken, and the
coming of the winter season with it's con-
slant storms, has still further enforced this de-
lay. Two months hence, spring will be advan-
ced here, and with our iron-clan force increas-
ed by three or four new monitors, we will be
prepared to take advantage of the most health
full and pleasant part Of the season. Let us
hope if Grant does not steal a march on US by
one of his famous rear attacks, that Charles
ton will then fall. In the meantime, if we
cannot look for immediate and decisive results
here, no great disaster need be apprehended.
Gen. Gilmore's position i. impregnable.
The monitor Leigh, by the time this reaches
you, will have completed the repairs rendered
necessary by the hammering she received
while aground.
The Patapsco has nearly completed her re-
pairs and will shortly relieve the Nantucket
at Warsaw Sound. Both the Patapsco and
Lehigh have been provided with extra deck
plates that will add to their invulnerability.

FORT MONROE, Dec. 70.
A flag Of truce boat from City Point arriv-
ed here with 500 Union prisoners in exchange
for those sent up by Gen. Butler.
The rebel Government refuses any further
exchange. All the questions are given up
about which our Government has been col-
tending, as their laws with regard to off
GERS and soldiers in negro regiments are organ
lied.
They also refuse to receive flags of truce
from Gen. Butler, or negotiate with him on
the subject Of exchange because Of Jeff. Davis
proclamation, o~ut-lawing Gen. Butler, last
year.
1t will be remembered they were quite will
ing to receive medicines from and to CORES

nation which they now make a pretext for
disseminating negotiations, and they have al
ready exchanged over 800 prisoners with Gen.

To-day the old year '63 gives up the ghost,
and yields his place to his successor, '64. In
accordance with the custom, as well as from
the p~romptings of the heart, we wish all our
readers ga Happy New Year" True, good
wishes cost nothing, and add but little to the
materiaJ happiness of the recipient, but there
is a spiritual happiness that does not come al
together from material things, and that is the
kind we intend when we wish to all ga Hap
py New Year" The old year that has SO
nearly run its course, came in with promises
and hopes to many, and will go out with the
majority of these promises and hopes unreal
lied. Happily, we are 80 constituted that the
spirit of hope seldom dies within us. If the
old year goes out i'll darkness and dread-it
our fortune has been todraw a blank, or worse
a prize of sorrow and misfortune, we still
look onward to the New Yeal, with confidence
and hope. If it were not so, the world would
be but one great mausoleum of dead hopes
and living despair.
The old year, '63 has made its mark ON the
worlds history that time with its c~easeless
ravages will never efface. The war for the
Union has not tagged. Events have crowded
upon each other all along the way, big with
consequences to the cause of Freedom and to
mankind generally. Although we have met
with an occasional defeat, as a whole, during
the year just closing, the Union cause has
steadily advanced. The rebellion has been
narrowed down to closer limits its power and
effective force reduced in even still greater
proportion. With the same energy, the same
devotion to the great cause upon which hang
such tremendous Observation-Disclosures Of such
paramount Importance to ourselves as a ma
ton, and to mankind in general-the New
Year that tomorrow will usher in, will wit
ness the crushing out of this wicked rebellion
and the utter destruction of those wicked men
who have plunged this lately peaceful, pros
porous and happy nation, into all the horrors
of a civil war. We believe that the New YEA
will witness the restoration of the Union, anc
the return of peace. 1t is with, such expecta
tons that we wish our readers all ga Happy
New Year" And with such a realization
would it not indeed be a Happy New Year.
Let us hopeforth the best. Let us still believC
that Right and Justice will prevail over Wrong
and Injustice-that in wicked cruelty and op
preston, there is no inherent power to triumph
in the final contest. Our fathers struggled
successfully against such a combination, anc
it cannot be that we shall be less successful
than they. Here on the confines of the old
let us enter upon the New Year, with conf
dence i'll the justice of our cause undated
with the hope that that cause will succeed, still
elated. Defeat and disaster, as in the yea
thai is dying, may at times visit us, there il
no denying but the dear old flag upborne by
true hearts and arms SO strong, shall wav'
again in triumph over treason, wickedness anc
wrong.
