l. The General Commanding takes this occasion
to express to the officers and soldiers of the army,
his high appreciation of the ortltade valor ard de-
votion displayed by them, which, under the bless
ings of Almighty God, have added the victory of
Fredericksburg to the long list Of their triumphs.
An arduous march, performed with celebrity under
many disadvantages, exhibited the discipline and
spirit of the troops and their eagerness to confront
the foe
The immense army of the enemy completed its
preparations for the attack without Interruption and
gave battle in its tme and On ground Of its own
selection.
1t was encountered by less than twenty thousand
Of this brave army and its columns, crushed and
broken, hurled back at every point with such fear
full slaughter, that escape from entire destruction
became the boast of those who had advanced in full
confidence of victory.
That this great result was achieved with loss
small in point Of numbers, only augInents the ad-
miration with which the Commanding General re-
CARDS the proves of the troops and increases his
gratitude to Him who hath given US the victory.
The war is aot yet ended The enemy is still
numerous and strong and the country demands OF
the army renewal Of its heroic efforts in her be-
half Noby has it responded to her call in the past
and she will never appeal in vain to its courage and
patriotism.
The signal manifestations Of Divine mercy that
have distinguished the eventful and glorious cam.
paign Of the year just closing give assurance Of
hope that under the guidance of the same Al
mighty hand the coming year will be no less fruit.

ARRIVAL OF REBEL DEsERTERs WITH PRISONER.
On Monday morning the 9Th instant, a small
boat from the rebel ram Sqrannoh, arrived at Fort
Pulaski, in charge of four men belonging to the
so-called Confederate Navy, who had deserted the
rebel cause and &c come over, bringing with them
the officer commanding the boat, whom they
made prisoner. The boat was sent from the
Ram in charge of Masters Mate Brockland to per-
form picket duty on the Savannah river, near the
obstructions below Fort Jackson. On arriving at
the proper station, the boat was anchored, and
Brockand took off his belt and pistol and laid it
by his side. The crew, who had long been anx-
ious to escape from the rebel service which was
disagreeable to them in every point of view, en-
braced the opportunity to obtain possession of the
officers firearms, while he was laying down and
amusing himself by singing the "Bonny Blue
Flag" and other favorite rebel airs. Before he
knew exactly what was up, one of the crew pre-
sented his revolver to his head and confidently
asserted that s'they were going to Fort Pulaski,
to give themselves up" and that they desired him
to accompany them. Resistance was useless and
the crew would listen to no remonstrances, SO
Brockland very unwillingly found himself In the
hands of Lieut.. Fee, officer Of the day. who took
charge of the party and placed them in safe quar-
tiers. Brockland was intensely "secesh" in his
views and generally exceedingly impertinent.
But after some wholesome advice, which Lieut..
Fee gave him, he became more reasonable and
quiet. The party are now in the custody OF Pro-
vost Marshal Allen, who will take good care of
them, until final disposition is made of them.
The crew will doubtless be released and sent
North, and Brockland will be held for exchange.
They bring no news of Importance.
