THE GREAT MORAL RESULTS OF

pressed signifies victory over the enemies

enemies abroad. The same idea was the
leading feature Of the profound little speech
Of the President himself to the mass meeting
gathered the other evening in front of the
White lieuse to congratulate him on his re.
election. In that speech he says that the
issue OF this late exciting political contest

In these comprehensive views Of the Pres.

Rebels Retreating.

CUMBERLAND. Jan. IA dispatch Just
received from Colonel Thobun, command
ing at Petersburg, informs me that the
rebel force threatening that place for sew
eral days past has retrcated toward the
Shenandoah Valley. The force was for
midable one, consisting of three brigades--
Lees, Walkers and Rosser's-all under the
command of General Fitzhugh Lee.
Deserters report that it was the intention
of Lee to capture the garrison at Peters
burg, take New Creek and Cumberland,
destroy our stores, and break up the rail-
road by burning the bridges, etc.
am happy to inform you that the great
raid undertaken by General Early, in re-
taliation for our late movements In this de-
partment, has thus far resulted in COM
plete failure or fizZle.
An empty wagon train of Col. Thoburn's.
on returning from Petersburg, was captured
by portion of the enemy's forces. With
this exception they have not thus far been
able to inflict upon us any injury.
Many deserters are coming in, and our
cavalry are picking up great many strag-
glers.
l. The railroad is safe, and trains are run
ming regularly.
The weather is cold, and the snow is sew
eral inches deep.

Our adviceS from Mexico represent the

Juato and Aquascalicntes, and the invaders
were marching on the Juarez capital. which
they expected to occupy by Christmas. 1t
was reported by the French and their par
tisans that Juarez himself would seek safe
ty by fleeing to Texas. Gen. Miramon was
engaged in raising a force to march on
Durango. The entire State of Tama ,lipOs,
it was expected, would soon be in posses
sion of the Imperialsts.
From San Domingo we learn that the
Spanish had gained another victory over
the insurgents in front of Puerto Plato.

positions, though the number of killed
and wounded is said to have been compara-

lads were constantly arriving, and it was
supposed they would soon have sufficient
force to overcome all opposition.
