The Army or the Potomac.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Information
from the army Of the Potomac is to the
effect that Thanksgiving day was truly
q festive occasion among the soldiers. Since
the news Of President Lincoln's reelection
has been circulated in the rebel army de-
serti0ns - our lines have increased largely.
It is said by doserters that the number Of
rebel soldiers known to be watching for
opportunity to escape is astonishing, and
the decentralization is 90 general that the
officers fear to trust any OF their troops on
picker.

the 9th OF December.
A statement appeared in one or more Of
to-day's papers, enormously attributed to
the Washington agent, and reported for
the Associated Press, that Commander
hia, Brazil, with his quota Of prize officers
and crew, and purporting to give the re-
suit of the action Of the Government upon
that subject, with other assumed facts in
in the same connection. No such telegram
originated with the agent and reporter OF
the Associated Press, but there Is the best
authority for saying that all statements to
the effect that differences of opinion have
arisen in Cabinet concerning the case of
the pirate Florida, or that decision has
been made for or against her release, are
without foundation. No action Of the Gov
eminent has been taken in the case, and no
discussion Of It has been held, and the Ma.
w Department authorizes the following
statement:
The rriginal order for the Wachusett, ON
coed to Boston for repairs, taking with her
the prisoners captured on the Florida, to
be consigned to Fort Warren.
Before the order reached the vessel the
prisoners had been sent to Point Lookout,
and in day or two were transferred by
the army authorities to the Old Capitol
They were Immediately ordered back to
Point Lookout to be returned to the Wa
chusett, which at once sailed for Boston.

Hon. Wilmer Gibson had been addressing
his constituents at meeting. He predicted
q
plentiful supplies. He combatted the idea
that the American war was beneficial to
England. He pointed out that the rebel
crusade was lesson to England. Her COM
merce might be similarly attacked at fu-
ture time, and the Government must be
supported in its efforts to stop the supply
of such vessels. He asserted that England
had acted toward the Americans as she
would like America to act toward her in a
similar emergency. He uttered no prophe-
cies as to the issue of the war, but contend
ed that slavery was the whole motive, and
that the South were the aggressors in order
to found slave empire.

enthusiastically received; and the account
she gave of herself and of her romantic adj

to with the most marked attention. She is
a very pleasant and agreeable talker, and
withal pretty and captivating woman. In
