"TAzEwELL, Tenn, Dec. Inlay. Gen.
II. W. Halleck, General in Chief Long
street is in full retreat up the valley. Your
orders about following with cavalry shall be
carried out. The Now York division of cav
airy attacked the enemys cavalry in one of

Couriers from Knoxville arrived last night.
The road is clear. Sherman arrived there

CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 7.-Longstreet is re-

He will scarcely be able to make good his es-
cape, though he has thirty six hours the start.
CHATTANOOGA, Dec. Gen. Shernan's
cavalry arrived at Knoxville on the evening
of the Sd. Longstreet raised the siege on the
night of the 4th, retreating towards Bristol by
way of the Norristown railroad to Richmond

THE PRESIDENTS RECOMMENDATION.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Dec.
7.-Reliable information being received that
the insurgent force is retreating from East
Tennessee under circumstances rendering it
probable that the Union forces cannot hereaf-
ter be dislodged from that important position,
and es teeming this to be of high national con-
sequence, l recommend that all loyal people
do, on receipt of this information, assemble
at their place of worship and render special
homage and gratitude to Almighty God for
this great advancement of the national cause

Retreat of Gen. Longstreet

There is good news from East Tennessee
The seige of Knoxville is at an end. General
Burnside and the gallant army of the Ohio
are safe again. Longstreet and the remnant
of his troops have fled into Virginia-unlsss
Gen. Foster has succeeded in cutting off their
retreat and capturing some of them. That
rich country upon which the rebels had set
their hopes, and which they had made SO des-
perate efforts to recover, is free again, and the
national cause is gloriously triumphant from
the Alleghanies to the Mississippi. For this
great and signal advance, the president re-
commends that all loyal citizens to-day meet
at their usual places Of worship, and return
thanks to Almighty God. The official dis
patches state only the fact of the retreat and
the pursuit by our cavalry. Other dispatches
dated earlier, but received too ate to be pub
lished in full, state that Uuion scouts first
discovered Longstreet's plan on Saturday
night and Sunday, when the rebel columns
were seen moving toward Rutledge, at the
foot of Clinch mountain, east of Knoxville,
and camp fires were seen burning along the
roads. Deserters said they were making their
way into Virginia and North Carolina. After
the sePslss q tirs Enemy eavalry@t clnch
river on the 2dinst, their whose force contin-
ued to hover round, endeavoring to turn our
tanks, and to force some of the lords. In all
these efforts they were foiled and driven back,
and on Saturday the whole rebel cavalry with
drew in the direction OF Knoxville. The roads
were blockaded there, however, and nothing
was left to them but to fight their way out and
run Some accounts say the retreat was be-
gun on Friday, the infantry and transporta-
ton moving up the valley from Knoxville, on
the north of the Holston river, and the caval-
~ on the south, to cover an attack from the
Union troops. The country will not be pre-
else about the time, since it has the benefit of
the fact.

The clerk therefore declared Mr.. Colfax
duly and legally elected speaker of the house
of the thirty-eighth congress. The announce
ment was received with yocferous applause.
Messrs. Dawson and Cox were appointed
to conduct the speaker to the chair, which
was followed by applause from the floor and
galleries.
The speaker, on taking the chair, delivered
a brief, eloquent, and patriotic address, which
was received with general applause. Mr..
Washburne, being the oldest consecutive
member, was requested by the clerk TO ad-
minister the customary oath, and also the
oath of allegiance, which having been per-
formed, the speaker desiring 10 preserve the
decorum of the house, said if persons in the
galleries should indulge in manifestations, Ell
Their of appreciation or dissent the sergeant at
arms and doorkeepers would be instructed to
take such persons into custody.
The members were then sworn, advancing
by delegations as their names were called.
When the Louisiana delegation were called
MIR. Stevens objected to their being sworn. A
brief debate then ensued, when Mr.. Stevens
offered resolution that the credentials be
referred to the committee on elections.
Mir. J. G. ALLEN moved to lay the motion
on the table, which was lost by nays l0l-
yeas "A.
The resolution of MIR. Stevens was adopted
by vote of 100 to II.
The clerk then proceeded to administer the
oath to the delegates from the several terrific
ries. The house then adjourned.
