New YORK, Dec. IA special to the

Your army CORRESPONDENT furnishes the
following information: Saturday P. M. the
rebels made feint crossing ct several fords
of the Rapidan; our forces kept on the alert
and eAerything was in readiness to retreat
if an assault had been made By superior
forces. During the night the rebels crossed
over two or three regiments at each ford,
and took possession of the North bank OF
the Rapidan and our old signal stations, so
they can now overlook all our movements
while we remain posted as at present,
Eight Of Mosby's Iguerrillas, were cap
tured by our cavalry scouts within three
miles of Vienna.
Gen. Mbaghe, who was with the army as
a visitor to his old brigade, was captured
in citizens clothes near Mine Run during
the recent engagement and is now in the
hands Of rhe enemy.
The Heralds special from the head-quar
tiers army of the Potomac, says:
All quiet with tue ormy, and a prospect
of quiet being long contied.
The trains are running REGULARLY to and
from Alexandria, and the army is getting
well supplied with Quartermaster's and
Commissary's stores.
1t is ascertained that Lee occupies his
old position South of the Rapidan, and is
preparing winter quarters.

The Trbuue'S Washington special says
that frauds To the amount of over million
of dollars was discovered in furnishing sup
plies to the Army of the Potomac. On
FRIDAY night Capt. VIM. Stoddard Quarter
master Of Alexandria was arres ted by order
of the Sec'y Of War and lodged IN the Old
Capitol Prison, On Saturday night Capt.
Ferguson of the regular army, Chief Quar-
termaster Of Alexandria, was also arrested
and sent to the Old Capitol. These frauds
have all been uneartbed since Gen. Meigs
went to Tenn. The frauds in which these
and number Of other officers, some very
high in rank, will have to he arrested are
implicated and consists principally in large
purchases of mixed grain, that is oats and
corn so compounded The Goyern:aent is
cheated out Of 20 cents OIL ever bushel.-
Enormous frauds in the purchases of lum-
Der and horses for the Army Of the Potomac
have also been discovered. Col Thomas

Some ofthe New FORK papers arc threaten

the Harrisburg PARROT and Jaioa remarks /:
.The New York Express threatens that if
the Administration shallkidnap any Democrat
from that city Greeley. will be Kidnapped by
the people and held as q Postage for the good
treatment and safe: return of the prisoner. The
idea is good We have not a doubt that
The same policy will be adopted here. 1t is un
necessary to indicate the individuals, but there
are several prominent Abolitionists about Har
rlsburg who might be used as security if cir
eumstanccs should require it."
We do not copy this paragraph in order to
hint at the capture of any one in Pittsburgh /:
there are, doubtless, many amongst us who
would rejoice in the arrest and Imprisonment
of obnoxious political opponents, hut the ex-
pertinent would be fraught with incalculable
mischief A spirit of retaliation would be
aroused, which might result in scenes of car
mage and destruction equal to the atrocities in
Paris during the French revolution
But We do not propose to discuss this ques-
ton, hut tn briefly allude to the Inconsistency

any party. We allremember Sumner speeches
in the Senate, and Wendell Phillips from tie
platform and We well remember the freedom
of Forney,s pen when he labored to prove that
the President of the United States was the
murderer of Senator Broderick- But these
things have all changed. The champions of
.'free speech" when seeking power, are now
the advocate of its suppression, and those who
exercised the largest liberty of thought and
expression, are now the loudest in their denun-
citations Of all who do not indorse their infa-

The Rupture of the blockade
$40 yIcos06 Charleston. s8f ssr.
The biuckade off Charleslonbss been broken
|Lthes Secretary of State has given notice of
the factrto the British and French ConsulsH
by the strict rule ofinternutionail law the Yam
KEGS must give sixty days notice before. they
can re.establish it. The question is whether
or notlthe Yankee will be bound by that law,
seeing thatthey effect to regard ms IS Rebels,
and therefore not entitled to the benefit of in.
ternational law, and whether or not Lcrd Rus
sell will not allow their claim of right te ex
US from such benefit We have no doubt
that the Yankees will make the claim, and that
Russell will submit to it. The whole conduct
Of the man during this war leads US to this
conclusion. e,
Tn the beginning it was manifested by the
London Times, and no doubt by the British
Ministry, that no nation had a right to block
ade its own ports, and that if the Yankees in
sists on blockadingthe COME crate ports, they
must a~cknaNiedge them as.He longer theirs
In other words, the Blockade of our ports was
insisted to be an acknowledgment of our sepa
rate existence. This. was soon given up by
Russell, if, indeed, he ever insisted upon it in
Parliament, which we believe he did, though
we are not certain. Nor was it all that he gave
up. By the treaty Of Paris in s it was de-
cidcd that q blockade to be respected must be
efficient. When called on to explain what he
considered an Efficient blockade, the Palmers-
ton Min stry established a rule that the en-
trance and departure of five ships into and
from a blockaded port was evidence that the
blockade was not efficient. al14 -
Now, instead of FIVE, five hundred vessels
have entered and left the port of Charleston
since it was declared to be blockadcd. Yet
the complaisant British Minister for Foreign
Affairs still regards the blockade as effective.
If, therefore, the Yankees restore the bloce-
ade without notice, VIC have no doubt that he
will look with perfect noncholence upon the
capture of any number of British ships that
may attem pit to enter He is quito too polite
to give offence to the Yankee Adams. Be
sides the glory of the deed, therefore, and the
opportunity which tie dispersion of the Yam
kee ships affords to merchant vessels 70 enter
the port; and these Considerations are of great
moment-wc do moi see any permanent adj
vantage to be derived We have nc, idea that
Lord Russell would Jake it in high dudgeon
were the Yankees I'd capture any number of
English ships without notice. We must keep
our ports open by the strong hand. Our sea
men will do it If thegar only permitted. j
