rnr HxEMY's MOVEMENTS.

These were Of a very curious character.
We judge this from information reaching
us through prisoners, aud coming from
other sources. The enemy, finding us ad-
yanciug from so many different points,
did not know what to think Of it, and this,
too, in the midst Of winter, when It was
supposed We bad gone into comfortable
winter quarters, with the intention of let
ting the rebels do the same. AT frst the
whole movement was looked upon 10 the
light ofa reconnaissance to End out where
Longstrest was. Then the report became
current that We were out on small raid
to pick up some detached cavalry com
mands; and again, lthat we were making
tor StauntOn, 10 destroy or capture the
supplies there, With this latter view pre-
dominating, reiniorcements were sent to
Stauntou from the main body Of Lee's
troops, via the Virginia Central Railroad,
to protect that point. Hardly had this
been done than the enemy discovered
Union was threatened, aud hence scatter
ing rebel @commRuds were quickly massed
aud sent OF to this latter point. The ue1t
therebsls knew was that their telegraph
communication had been cut with Lee.

Yankee force must be on the. Railroad,

HARFER's FxRRY, Va, Dec. 26. 1868.
The movements that have just been made
by the troops OF General Kelley's command
have greater degree of importance at
taehed to them than the public may at frst
suppose or discover, and It is to the end
of explaining their Importance, as also Of
furnishing the reader with clear idea of
the ingenious aud curious combinations,
known by the familiar term strategy
involved in these movements that the fol.
lowing account is thus so infinitely made.
oEx. KELLEY's lDEA OF Irs VALUE
is thus set forth In the concluding portion
of a despatch from his headquarters, at
Cumberland, Nd, to Governor Boremau,
at Wheeling -
"This is undoubtedly one of the most
hazardous, important and successful raids
since the commencement of the war.
"B F. KELLEY, Brfgadier General"

ginia, General Kelley got Information,
through spies and from other sources, that
the rebels were working to reinforce LOug
street, and get TO him, il necessary, large
quantity OF supplies. Towards the Ac-
complishment Of the latter purpose the
enemy took occasion to accumulate no
small quantity of stores At Salem. Find.
ing this TO bo the case General Kelley con.
eeived o plan whereby Iongstreet might
be NOT, only. seriously but dangeroasly In.
terfered withs First, IN not gettipg the

rupted with the Richmond authorities /;
third, in preventing him from getting heavy
reiuforcements by rail- and, fourth, from
making an early junction by rail with
General Lee. The plan was submitted to
General Halleck, who. though he did not
disApprove Of il, allowed General Kelley
to take the responsibility aud do as he de-
sired, and this the more readily on account
of the important manner in which its sue
cess would affect our movements elsewhere.
No sooner was the plan thus received by
the G eneral.iu. Chief than General Kelley
got TO work to put 1t into practical opera
lion aud to assume all the responsibilities
in the event of defeat.

recently in speech at Somerset; that
"T Woodward and Vallandigham wert

troops from their respective States," &c.
Mr.. Clymer passed through Bloomsbury
on Saturday last, and we have his express
authority, to brand the above statement as
a falseheod. It is mean fabrication, and
in fact is absurd on its very face. Fol

DR.. JOHN like other republican editors
is engaged In the dirty business Of publish
ing fraudulent extracts from Judge Wood
wards great speech at tho Union Meeting
at Philadelphia on the 18th of Dec. 1890.
Two precious gems Of fraud appear In his
las, issue. First that he should have said,
Let the South 60 peaceably--and also,
that the time must come when slave hold.
ers may fall back on their natural rights
and employ in defense of their slave pro-
perty any means Of protection they pos
sess or can command.
He said neither of these things, in the
sense in which they are represented. -
The entire speech was published some
time since in our columns aud will speak
for itself.
As to the first passage which the Re.
publican pretends to quote, instead Of
saying-"let the South go peaceably !"
he said nothing Of the kind; but he did
say-"We hear ii said let South Carolina
60 out of the Union peaceably. 1 say let
her 60 pcaceably if she go at all but uhy
should South Carolina be driven out of The
Union by an nrepressibie conflict about
slavey," @c.
As to the second extract, the scoundrel
who pretended to copy it, not only picks
his words out of the speech without their
context, but mutilates the very language
pretended to be taken. The Judge was
speaking Of the irrepressible conflict doc.
trine of Lincoln and Seward, and said
that it appeared to him, 'that there mus,
be time, in the progress Of this conflict
DI be indeed arrtpressible, when slave
holders may lawfully fall back on theil
natural rights" &c, The words in ttalic!
are suppressed, although indispensable tc
convey the sp eaker's meaning. He wat
denouncipg the irrepressible conflict doc
trine, and showing its logical consequences
in both these passages. And the attemp
is now made to torture his language into
a sense never intended. He denied the
whole doctrine of an irrepressible conflict
opposed raising issues and fostering idea.
which should drive any state out Of the
Union, and urged the observance on al
sides Of constitutional and legal obliga
tions.
Let any honest man compare the pas
sages as quoted and as spoken; and ther
make up his mind as to the character o
the man who could so garble them. o
what is he guiltyl

Gen. Rosencrans has had terrible bat
tie with the Rebels in Georgia. The Bat
tie commenced on Saturday, and was one
of the most desperate Of the war. Both
armies occupied there ground on Saturday

On Sunday morning the enemy attacked
Gen. Rosencrans with overwhelming num-
bers and forced our army to fall back to
Chattanooga, after sustaining heavy loss
in Killed aud wounded.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, says the
killed and wounded on both sides will
