communication between Vera Cruz and Oriz.
aba has been completely cut off by the Mexi-
can guerllas, and can only be established
and kept up by the French posting strong
guards all along the route. The Mexican
gueriuas are in strong force all along the road
and worry the French INCREASINGLY.
1t is reported that the French have again
been repulsed and driven back from before
Pueba with great loss. The French Gen.
Berthier's vanguard, 1000 strong, was com
pletely surprised by 500 Mexican cavalry, and
about 1000 of the French troops were killed
and wounded Several French officers were
taken by the lasso and dragged Off The
prospects OF the French look exceedingly
bad. They can get no supplies from the
country, and they are surrounded by most
determined enemy, who watch every oppor-
tunity to take advantage of them. No French
soldier can stray from his camp without be-
ing lassoed aud dragged off by some Next

BY direction of the President of the United

transfers the command of this army to Major
General Joseph Hooker.
The short time that he has directed your
movements has not been fruitful of victory,
nor any considerable advancement Of our
line but it has again demonstrated an amount
of courage. patience and endurance that un-
der more favorable circumstances would have
accomplished great results. Continue TO ex-
ercise these virtues, be true in your devotion
to your country and the principles you have
sworn TO maintain, give to the brave and skill
ful general. who has long been identified with
your organization and who is now to COM
mand you, your full and cordial support and
corporation, and you will deserve success.
Your General, in taking an afectionate
leave Of the army, which he separates from
with so much regret, may be pardonod il he
bids an especial farewell to his long and tried
associates Of the 9th Corps. His prayers are
that God may be with you and grant contin-

Gen. Bragg and the Exchange Of Prisoners
From the Richmond Enquirer.
Gen. Bragg, seeing there is a suspension OF
the cartel has addressed the following
order TO his men on the subject Of being made
prisoners:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TENNESSEE,
MISSIONARY RIDGE, Nov. l6, 1868. J
GENERAL ORDER, No. 209-That the enemy
does not intend to carry out, in good faith, the
cartel agreed on between his Government and
the Confederate States for the exchange OF
prisoners of war has long been demonstrated by
bis acts, and is now officially recognized.
Such cruel proceeding, so opposed to the
laws of humanity and an enhghted civilization
is a virtual acknowledgment by the enemy or
his inferiorty, and 1t shows craft and cum
ming worthy Of the Yankee IN imposing upon
us the maintenance OF thousands OF his prls'
oners that they may consume the substance
which should 90 to the suppot OF our gallane
men and their families.
This should be known to our officers and
men. They know that, if taken prisoners
tbose who survive their cruel treatment will be
fyrced to languish in Northern dungeons until
the close Of the war, subjected to the taunts
and barbaritv OF a merclless foe. 1t their hb-
erty and their lives must be lost the alterna-
tive Of honorable death on the field Of battle,
nobly fighting for the cause Of freedom, will
be acccepted by brave and patriotic Southern
soldiers.
nounce these facts to the troops of his com,
mand, The designs of the enemy are trans.
haven't. and our officers and soldiers are forced
to accept the policy imposed by him.. "

From The Washington STAR
The Army Of the Potomac and its Eesitating
Generals
r ! bv no means wonderful that the New
York and other papers loudly deploro the
62sco that has resulted in the return Of the
4rmy of the Potomac to eheir former quarters
near the south bank Of the Rappahannock,
which 50 zorcibIy and painfully reminds the
public of the similar hascos in permitting Lee
20 escape at WiIliamsport and, again, IN or
doring retreat at double-quick time out OF
Cupeper> back to Manassas, before the advance
of Lee with scarcely more than third as many
men as Gen. Meade commanded.
So long as our army in this quarter contln-
uas 10 be guided by its present councils IN the
field, it is now clear it will fail to command
public confidence a requisite Of success al
most as necessary as that those councils should
command the confidence Of the army itself;
which is now by no means the case, as was
clearly demonstrated By the bitter and cut
spoken scofing with which the order for this
last retrogade movement was received ny the
rank and file,
We apprehend that, though the forward
movement amounted to but reconnaissance
III force, its purpose was, certainly, TO give Lee
battle wherever found. There can be no mis-
take in this fact though it is now sought to 5e
denied.
We know further, that the season for active
operations under active commanders Ii tnls
section has not closed, as is being represented by
more Or less newspapers 50, Il Lee, relying
upon continuance Of the chronic hesltancy
that has afflicted the councils OF Gen. Meade,
ventures 20 reinforce Long>treet considerably
from his own army, which Ae has yet time at
least to attempt, It IS to be presumed that the
Government will promptly seek to make hlln
pay dear Tor his temerlty; as our Army OF the
Potomac, itself, is as ready at this moment to
move against him again, as II was when under
taking SO to do q few days since.
Il j not tor US to venture to suggest the
name Of d commander to be relied on not to be
afflicted with disinclnation to risk COLLISION
With Lees army, numbering, as that does,
scarcely more than 3 third, Or, at most, nall as
many men as ours. Nor can we with greater
DroDrietv suggest the names Of other council
lors for that General, whoever he may be. IN
place Of those who ''saw snakes that did not
exist at WiIliamsDort and Culpeper, and again,
probably at Mine Run. Rut we venture to
assert the great unanimity OF public OPINION IN
The belief that the Army Of the Potomac VIII
continue to be utterly useless 10 the cause, un-
Ill others take their places The nation mas
other uses tor our armies than that Of merely
making fat places for Generals.
