also been established, through the efforts

which the older ones enter upon their

CURING PORK.-An exchange says French
chemist has lately asserted that scurvy will
never arise from the use of salt provisions un-
less saltpetre be used in the curing; that salt
alone answers all the purposes provided the
animal heat be entirely parted with before
sailing. lie claims that the insertion Of pork
in pickle alone is not sufficient. but that il
should be rubbed thoroughly with dry salt after
1t has entirely parted with its animal heat, and
.nat then the fluid running from the meat
should be poured of before packing the pork
in the barrel. This should be done sufficiently
close to admit no unnecessary quantity OF air,
and some dry salt should occupy the space be-
tween the pieces, and then pickle and not
water, should be added Great care must be
taken to I'LL the barrel entirely full. so that no
portion of the meat can at any time project
above the surface Of the fluid; for il this occurs
change Of flavor ensues such as is known
with rusty pork. The pickle. of course must
be a saturated solution Of salt and water-that
is, so strong that it is incapable OF dissolying
more salt 1t must be remembered that cold
water is capable Of dissolving more salt than
hot water.

OUR GENERAL PiTeHES
THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
Another Raid Of Rebel Cavalry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 There was
great excitement in Alexandria late yes
terday evening, growing out of the hurried
arrival Of several of our cavalry men and
teamsters, the latter being mounted on
horses cut from their wagons. They rep
resent that Stuarts cavalry, with some
light artillery, appeared at Poheck Church,
several miles from Mt. Vernon, on Satur-
day night and Sunday. They proceeded
to Accotink, which is only twelve miles
from Alexandria, and there attacked two
or three companies Of our troops and cad
tured wagon train at Occoquan on Sat-
urday. 1t is difficult to arrive at the pre-
else truth of many conflicting rumors in
circulation.
Men who have seen brief official tele-
grams from Dumfries say it was the same
rebel force which, several miles from that
place, made reconnaissance, driving in
our cavalry pickets and killing three or
four. The rebels, fearing capture by our
troops, which at one time was probable,
left for Occoquan and Accotink, where
they made an alarming demonstration.

subject OF building railroad in a South

New YORK, Dec. 30.-A Washington letter
states that rumors of foreign Intervention
are quite common there at the present
time, but they cannot be traced to any au-
thentic source. 1t is, however, claimed by
many intelligent persons that Mr.. Seward
confidently expects the Intervention of the
French Government in our affairs, and
that he has shaped the foreign diplomacy
of this Government of late wholly in refer
ence to such a danger Hence he coun-
sells acquiescence in the trade going on
between New York and the French in
Mexico, and in Mr.. Corwin's singular con-
duct in Mexico. The exact facts in the
case are not likely to appear at present,
unless they come to us as thefirst proposal
for mediation comes through the English
papers.

Ny Instructions require me to treat as

upon the freedom Of individuals which are
not imperatively demanded by considera-

tanned. Respectful consideration and
prompt reparation will be accorded to all

ga British subject, who arrived here

brings information that nineteen negroes
were hung in the streets of that city just
prior to his departure This occurred in
consequence Of disclosure made in a
rather singular manner.
''The whites there have, for some time
past, been closely watching the movements
Of the blacks; and, thinking they observed
an unusual number OF funerals among them,
a white man disguised himself, and fol-
lowed one of the professions. On arriving
at the burying- ground, he discovered that
the coffin contained arms, which were
taken and buried in vault, in which a
number had already been deposited.

The Array mot Going Into Winter
Quarters.


Correspondence Of the New York Times
HEADQUARTFRs LEFT VINO OF ARMY,
nMH Tuesday, Dec. %, 1862.
Now that the public desire for great
battle has been realized, the question ma
turally rises to every ones lips: Is the ar
my of the Potomac going into winter quar-
tiers? afA aa Tfaa' 9sse5 f3f
The army of the Potomac is not going
into winter quarters Though operations
in front may be abandoned, the troops are.
not to remain cooped up in winter huts
through the long weeks which intervene
between now and March. A portion of the
soldiers may be sent to Washington to
prevent backward movement Of the enc
my in that direction, while the remainder
are shipped southwark to commence Oper-
ations anew on the Peninsula. Perhaps it
may appear best to our generals to cross
the Rappahannock further down-say at
Port Conway-under the protection OF our
gunboats, and again give battle to the en-
envy. Should we desire to do so, it would
be, as General remarked to me to-day,
almost impossible to winter the army in
this locality, owing to the scarcity ofwood.
The circuit OF the country now occupied
by US, in addition to being limited, and
producing a stunted growth of timber, has
been pretty effectually invaded by rebel
wOod-chOppers, who have heretofore con-
gregated in. this vicinity - Beauregard,
Johnson, and such fellows of the baser
sort. Owing to the sandy formation of
the soil, the roads soon dry up after the
heaviest storms, so that the elements, how
ever unfavorable they may be, will hardly
prevent our lOcOmOtiOn.
The supposition expressed by many that
the rebels are not in strong force on the
Fredericksburg side of the river, has been
proven to-day to be without foundation.
a reconnaissance made this morning re-
suited in the discovery of large body Of
the enemy directly in our front; also an
other force little to our right. An I'M
limited number of rebel tents has sprung
up to view within the past two days, and
not few log huts have been built.
All of the enemy's Notifications are well
garrisoned.
Gen. Burnside returned from Washing
ton this evening. A rumor to the effect
that General Burnside had resigned his po-
sition was industriously circulated through
out the camp yesterday, but failed, on ac-
count of its doubtful authenticity, to create
any commotion or excitement among the
troops.
