WAsHISGToS, Dec. 3l-Last night at about
eight O'Clock the wires ceased to work north Of
Falmouth Station; the cause was unknown at 10

The last heard of the re0el cavalry was from
Occoquan. which place thew had passed on their
wav North.
The Star. of this afternoon, saws: There is no
truth ia the current story that Stuart's cavalry
had crossed the Potomac into Maryland, which
was telegraphed from here last evening. The
rumor grew out of the fact that night before last
ten or twelve rebel guerrillss crossed from Balls
Bluff over to HaFrison's Island, probably design
ing a brief ihieving expedition into Msryland
but seeing their motions were observed from the
north shore, they psujently returned into Loudon
county before daylight. This is the whole truth
concerning the BODY of 1000 cavalry crossing the
river into Maryland.

Mischief.

Tie Quincy Herald, edited by Jas. W.
Singleton and Austin Brooks, bears at its
editorial head an announcement, in each
number for the week ahead, that
GEN. JAS. W. SINGLETON,
THE bold, uncompromising champion Of
Peace and Union, will address the Democ-
racy at"
Then follow the names Of half a dozen
country school houses or other convenient
places of public meeting in different towns
of Adams and adjoining counties.
| At the bottom of the notice is this an
| nouncement.
Aus Brooks will also be present, and
receive the na mes of subscribers to the
| HeraM'
The affair would thus bear on its face
no more than the appearance of rather
cute business or 'catchpenny' dodge
tie Great champion of peace &c, being
put forward to draw the crowd, and Aus
Brooks dropping in at the close to pluck
them.
There is, however, something more in 1t
and it means mischief. Gen. Singleton
is a man Of ambitious aspirings immense
ly above his caliber, and appears to be
growing FESTIVE in the democratic com-
muuion, as he did IN the opposition syna-
gogues some years ago. lie attended the
State mass meeting at Springfield on the
18th ult. with no good intention. During
that convention he stopped with Dick.
| Yates and kept drunk ON Dick Yates
liquor. Though not a member of the com.
mittee on resolutions he went before that
committee and presented two, which he
demanded should be incorporated in the
body of the resolutions to be reported to
the meeting One of these was rejected
outright. and the other, after being
changed and emasculated, was smuggled
before the meeting and formally adopted
as the 23d resolution, of which we have
spoken before. The one fatty rejected
was in the following words:
Resolved, That the war, in its further
prosecution, being contrary to the Consti-
tuition, must necessarily fast consume all
the elements Of Union, and hence that
our duty as citizens, our obligations as
men and our relations to our common
Father alike demand that an end should
be quito what is repugnant to the land,
abhorrert to the humanity and civilization
OF this enlightened era, and. inconsistent
with the benignant spirit Of morality and
religion.
Now what the bod champion" and
"Aus Brooks" are about, is, 20 have this.
resolution. and the resolution % as it stood
before ckansedfby the commit tee adopted
at these immense gatherings of the masses
at the various school houses and cross
roads in Adams and adjoining counties.
The movement; therefore. on the part
of Singleton means disruption ofstIse DEM
ocratic party. and on the Part Of Brooks
more subscribers to the Herald. 1t is q
business that should be frowned down by
the democratic press.

Mexico.

The news from Mexico is interesting
but for the civil war now raging in this
country, ~ would LO the great exciting
theme of the day. Gen. Forey, after the
fall of Puebla, pushed on rapidly to the
capital, where he found no serious oppo-
sition, and at once entered and took pos
session. Thus to all intcnts and purposes,
Mexico becomes a province of France
The cherished ambition of Napoleon to
have an India, like England, is gratifed
the difference being that Mexico, in all
the elements that can make such pos
session desirable, is infinitely superior to
India, Henceforth the miserable yellow
bellies of Mexico will become hewers of
wood and drawers of water to the French,
and that country, so long the scene of an
archy and mlsrule, will, under the strong,
despotic rule Of France, become the seat
of a French empire little inferior 70 france
