Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette
DANvILLE, KY, Dec. 3l.-Two expeditions
were sent, by order of General Granger, last
week southward-ene in command Of General
Carter, and one detached from Colone. Gilberts
brigade at Richmond, in command of LIeuten-
nt-Colonel Wilson, of the Forty fourth Ohio.
As their missions are no doubt accomplished
ere this time, it is no longer improper to speak
of them. Gen. Carter's command diverged
toward Manchester. Colonel Wilson's pro-
ceeded to Loudon, and thence he dispatched
two bodies of cavalry into Tennessee by differ
ent routes to surprise and break up the rebel
camps known to be about Big Creek Gap and
in Scott and Campbell counties, Tennessee; to
proceed to Knoxville and Strawberry Plains,
cut telegraphs, burn and destroy bridges, dc.
In word, the two last expeditions had in
structions to play havoc generally.
The command of Maj. Foley, Tenth Ken
lucky cavalry, via Williamsburg, has returned
to Loudon, and reports to Gen. Baird the most
complete success. On Sunday he surprised
a rebel camp of 800, in Campbell county, and
demolished it. The surprise was most COM
pletej for, without the loss of man killed or
sounded he killed 30. wounded SO. took 81
prisoners, and captarOd a7 hoEaaa, A~>l aas.na,.-
ed their entire camp, arms, Stores &c. The
ether detachment, under Maj. Brown of the
Tenth Kentucky cavalry, via Barboursvill1
and Boston to Knoxville, has not returYd.
Gen. Carter has not reported; but no dsdots
are entertained as to the success of thelenter-
prises
The most intense excitement ppeTaIls mere
in relation to that ubiquitous "afauder. Jonn
Morgan whom rumor has leated all over the
State. As the popular o-eration OF baggng
rebels has not heretofore met with that oril-
liant success generally promised by the pro-
iector, it is not consIsred safe in any circle to
propose too much ilsadvance, in that particu-
lar branch of mil;ary skill. Yet, nevertheless,
John is rcttingInt awkward quarters if in
formation reclyed here is correct This morn
ing he wo, reported within seven miles of
HarrodsbTg, marching this way. Letters
were ipercepted, the tenor of which rendered |
sucb a event not improbable. Other rumors
poired to Lexington as his next post town
b,G Stanley is behind him, the ferries are de-
ftroyed, and the only bridge he can cross over
he Kentucky river is amply guarded. He
must get out seme way, and this seems the
most plausible one, as more of his spies left
his morning, and he now knows precisely the
strength and disposition of Gen. Bairds forces;
out he does not know the locale of Col. Gilbert
md his veterans. John will strike a very
sharp, rude snag, when he runs against Old
ron Sam, the boys call him.

HAVANA, Jan. 2, 1863.
We have at last some news from Mexico
Our latest dates are up to the 25th ult, from
Vera Cruz, brought by the French man of-war
Jura. We are told that one division of the
French army had commenced the siege of
Peubla, and that another had started towards
Mexico. Comonfort and Doblatio have united
and marched to that city for its defense.
The famous iron-clad French steamer Nor
mandie arrived on the Oath, and brought us
the news that the French army had commcnc
ed to move on Peubla. They have tried fight
ing the Mexicans, and now propose starving
them Certainly the French eagles are win
ming laurels on this side of the Atlantic. The
troops wrote you had returned to Tampico,
have been sent to Jalapa, en- route for Pcubla
The communications between Vera Cruz and
Oriziba were open. The French had construct
ed bridge at Soledad. Some 800 mules had
arrived at Vera Cruz from this island and New
York, and from the latter place had also arrv-
ed 250 carts. Hava VIC right to,compain o f
European neutrality, when we aid France in
conquering Mexico2 Monroe and justice for
gotten rss
On the 18th ult. the rurnor was quite cur
rent in Vera Cruz that Gen. Douai had arrived
with bis division at Amozec, a short distance
from Peubla. This is the rendezvous of Gen.
Fofey, and is to be his headquarters till he
occupies Peuba.
Gen. Berthicr had left Jalapa with his divis-
ion marching towards Perote, whence he is to
proceed to Amezoc.
The French steamer Tampico did not arrive at
Santiago de Cuba till the 27th, four days behind
hand. She brought no news. She carries to
France the officers and crew of the wrecked
steamer of war Chaptal. Twelve thousand men
had advanced twelve leagues from Orizaba. Gen.
Forey has asked for another re reinforcement OF
10000 men.
Two men who were carrying mails and goods
from Vera Cruz to Jalapa were assassinated at
Tolome Bridge.
The French men of war, it seems, are not to
return to France for their ornaments; they are
to be brought to be brought to these waters.
From Puerto Rico have dates to the 22d
nit. Nothing of importance had transpired.
The grand feasts of Cardenas, in honor of the
erection of statue to Columbus. commenced on
the 25th nit, with great pomp. The Bishop ar
rived at 3 p m. Several companies of soldiers
and several vessels OF were Cnrdenas
to give greater solemnity to the occasion. Floods
of people rolled into the city from every direc-
tion--every house, hotel, room, and corner were
crowded. The fair. or bazar. was daily and night'
ly attended (for the holiday lasted tlll the 2oth)
The returns have not been made up as yet out
the amount received must be quite handsome
one. It is to be devoted TO charity hospital.
Matapzas has also had her bazar, though not so
well attended that of CardenaS.

Arrests among the Observation-Disclosures an
..gsSp0rting Circles-A Large Part Of the
Spoils Recovered.
Major Isaac N. Cook, formerly of Marietta,
Ohio, and latterly paymaster in the United
States service some time since fell into the
hands of gamblers and sustained considerable
losses. The story is the usual one-that he
then entered upon the desperate enterprise of
making things even and of course his losses
grew heavier he proceeded, until they
amounted to nearly a quarter Of a million, the
sum being largely above two hundred thou,
sand.
The fact of Major Cooks defalcation beconl-
ing known to the military authorities the most
energetic efforts were made to recover the lost
money.
Major Cook, it appears, had been consci-
entious bookkeeper, and had kept an exact ac-
count of all his losses. This enabled the Gov
ernment to get after the right parties.
Arrests were made simultaneously at Cairo,
and Louisville, the principal gamblers being
picked up in each case. Their diamond rings,
gold watches, and ready money have been pos
sessed, and a number of the institutions where
the ''tiger'' is displayed occupied by United
States authority. About $40, 900 were recov-
cred from parties arrested at Caro- on the
1st, a large company of the sporting frater-
nifty lett on the mallbOaL lor hou'S'uiS, uuSi
arrest 1t seems reasonable to conclude that
the Government will not, in the end, be the
loser for any heavy amount, and it is possible
every dollar may be recovered.
The gamblers consider themselves an ill-used
set of individuals, but they knew, when win.
| ming money from Major Cook, that it was not
his money, but that they were robbing the
Government, and some of them pursued him
in hrs travels The gambling house of Wba-
ley in this city is reported to have taken near
100000 of the missing money. The houses
of Lewis and Corey are also in the scrape,
and represented on the trip to Louisville. Nc
Kelvey was nabbed at Cairo.
The Paymaster was not green one. He
was, some years ago, steamboatman, in the
Ohio trade. Afterward he was an agent of the
Marietta Railroad in this city, and it is now
said that there were rumors OF q defalcation on
his part at that time These facts have been
known to US for several days, and the publica-
ton of the circumstance has been deferred
| that the Government might have all the ad
| vantases III levying upon the spoilers. The
case has, however, been talked ov er for three
days, and was yesterday nearly as well known
! in the city as if it had been ventilated in the
newspapers. The authorities did not wish 6
| total suppression of the matter, and it is wei
| to :ell such tales without adornment for th'
moral that they point Cincinnati COnner

Praying TO the Point.

| 1t is related OF certain lawyer in New Eng
! land-noted for his oyer-reachingS and shorts
comings-that during a revival he came under
| conviction, and requested prayers for the fur
therance of his conviction. This appeal was
responded to by one of the Saints-an eccen-
trio but very pious old man-honest, plain,
blunt, square-toed and fat-footed, who thus
went at it: " We do most earnestly entreat
thee, . Lord, to sanctfy our penitent brother
here; fill his heart with goodness and grace,
so that he may hereafter forsake his evil ways
that IS 4edutd Ata of HIN de sd pfE RS
appropriated worldly goods to himself unlaw-
fully and dishonesty, that he shalt make res
titution fourfold but We do beseech thee to
have mercy on this our erring brother, as it
would be impossible for him to do that and
let him off for the best he can do without beg
caring himself entirely, by paying twenty five
cents the dollar"
The next applicant at the same meeting was
an elderly maiden who got her living by going
into different families and spinning for them
She, also. had been famous for her shor t-con-
lngs-never giving full counts on her yarn
the forty threads TO knot was a point which
she never reached. The blunt old man thus
briefly disposed of her case: Reform Lord
the heart of thy handmade here before thee, we
beseech thee; and wilt thou enable her to
count fortyl"
In this connection we are reminded of an
anecdote related of a country merchant Down
East, who was noted for his dishonesty. Sud-
denly, and to the surprise of those who knew
him he became very pious and joined the ortho-
dox church. One Sunday evening, while ex-
horting the brethren, he remarked that he had
done many things for which he felt sorry, and
he deemed it his duty to make full restitution
to those he had wrongcd. He therefore noti-
fled all such that if they would call at his store
he would do so. About o'clock the next
morning, gentleman called at the merchants
house and aroused him from his bed. Raising
the window, he demanded the business of his
visitor at that early hour in the morning.
'' Is this Mr.. W."
That is my name."
"Well, l understand you have offered TO
make restitution to those you have cheated.
You will remember that upon one occasionI
suffered by you to the extent of fifty dollars,
and have called to get it."
Why did you not wait until proper hours
md then call at the store p
Simply because | thought if did, there
would be such hi of a rush there that I
would not get anythingP' . .

Prophecy FuInIled.

Hero is what was uttered in our national House
of Representatives, nearly fifty years ago, by
Joseph Pearsons, Representative from North
Carolina He was advocating measure for the
prosecution of the war with England. and de-
nouncing party spirit. After asserting that this
spirit, IN the name. of liberty. would accomplish
certain evils, he proceeds:
"When this event happens there will be dis
persed through this nation host of hireing
editors of newspapers. busiy engaged in putting
their employers, and moulding and fashioning
public sentiments by deception to suit their views.
The country will swarm with little demagogues.
whose appropriate business will be to sound the
praise of their leaders and mlsguids public senti
ment; playing, at the same time the part of syco-
plants to their leaders, and the deceiveIs of the
people looking for their reward and willing to
bo sent here and wire worked by the great poti-
cai juggers IN the way which may best suit the ir
purposes In those days, every sentiment deem
ed important by the leaders will be made a test,
an article of political orthodoxy, and all who will
not assent will be considered as heretics-it will
not be enough that man is attached to the Con-
sitution of his country, and that he has acquired
a character for integrity and good sense he must
praise his leaders-his sentiments must be in per.
feet accordance on all points. When this
crisis arrives, this hall. which ought through all
time be the great watch-tower of liberty-from
which the language of the patriot might be heard
in the voice of warning, and from which the rays
of political truth might be shed abroad by open,
fair and manly disc ussion--wil, on favorite occ-
sions, be silent death; by the use of the pre-
Vluus questions and upon the ready plea of the
necessity of dispatching business discussion will

all who have independence of mind to disapprove
