Gen. HancOclk's New COrps-Reg-
ulatiOns for Organization.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Arrangements
are rapidly being made to put the new lst
corps of General Hancock into the field at
the earliest moment. Many old and tried
officers will be placed in command, and
their names will be announced in few
days. Steps are being taken which will in
duce each State to forward veterans to Join
this corps. Arrangements are, it is said, in
progress by which State and other local
bountics may be paid here to veteran re-
cruit, who may have himself credited to
any particular locality he may prefer, and
to any veteran sent to Washington to be
credited TO any locality certificate will be
given.
1t is to the interest of all localities to send
on as many veterans as possible, as they are
not subject to the draft, and yet can be
properly accredited to particular locality.
The Government bounties given to the
veterans of the lst corps are given to no
Others, and superior inducements are there
fore offered to enlist in this corps. The
time to put it In the field is short. Locali-
ties must be prompt to forward men and
thus take advantage of the Government
bounties to fill their quotas.
1t is only necessary to take the veteran
recruit to Provost Marshal, who will for
ward him free of expense to Washington.
Let it be remembered that these veteran
soldiers are not subject to be drafted. Any
one enlisted is clear gain on the quota of
any future draft.

Hicksford, and if possible that station also.
AT daylight on Wednesday the column
started south on the Jerusalem road, the
cavalry taking the advance. On arriving
at point nineteen miles from Petersburg
they diverged from the road about
a mile to the right, where they reached
the Nottaway river and the command
at once commenced crossing. They bivou-
acked on the side for the night, At half
past seven Thursday morning the pontoons
were taken up and the column started,
leaving cavalry detachment to pick up
the stragglers and return with them. On
reaching point two miles beyond Sussex
Court House, some cavalry were encounter
ed and driven back to where the Weldon
railroad crosses the Nottaway. About noon
small force Of the enemy made dash in
between our cavalry and the advance of the
infantry, but were soon routed with slight
loss on both sides. Here cavalryman was
found who had evidently been murdered
and stripped of even his boots. The adj
vance then commenced the destruction OF
the railroad by burning the bridge across
the Nottaway, and continued on to Jarrett's
station, bivouacking at that place OH Thurs
day night.
On Friday morning an early start was
made, and in the afternoon the advance
reached point near Hickford, where the
enemy were found to be in some force, and
having battery in position with strong
works on both sides of the Meherrin river.
After the position had been examined an
attack was deemed impractcable on ac-
count of the strength of the works and
difficulty of approaching them, particu-
larly with artillery. 1t was determined to
carry the line of works on this side and de-
stroy the depot, which was successfully
done. During this charge Col. Sergeant,
lst Massachusetts,, is said to have been kill
cd. Troops were seen moving into posi-
tion at this point, as though they had just
arrived, and the fire from the rebel batteries
soon after showed that they had been rein
forced.
1t now got dark and began raining,
showing and freezing. The troops camped
in the vicinity for the night, ana in the morn
ing started on their return, reaching Sus-
sex Courthouse and halting there Saturday
night. The rebel cavalry and small body
of their infantry followed, and endeavored
to annoy our rear guard; but each time they
were driven back with loss.
This afternoon the Nottaway river was
reached and the entire command crossed in
safety, where they found part of the 9th
corps, who had started to their aid in case
of an engagement. Tomorrow they will
all be back in their old quarters in front of
Petersburg.

OPERA HoUsE-MRs. WALLER AS NAOMI.
Emma Waller appears tonight at the
Opera House in her. .favorite character of
Naomi, in the beautiful German drama of
Naomi, the Deserted. This play has been
translated expressly for Mrs. Waller, and
her rendition of the principal character in
it has won the admiration and applause of
all who have witnessed it. The scene is
laid in Germany and the action hinges upon
the loves of Herman (Mr. F. L. Kent and
Naomi (Mrs. Waller.) In the third act
where Naomi gives expression to her
wrongs, confronts her betrayer, invokes q
terrible curse upon ishead, and determines
upon revenge, Mrs. Waller's action and ut
terance reach the truly sublime. The fourth
and last act, in which Naomi forgives, and
surrenders her shattered heart to her Max
er, Mrs. w. makes almost painfully eff
fective by her great skill in portraying the
effects Of strong passion. We are glad that
Naomi is to be played tonight, for certain
it is that Emma Waller will render it ac-
cording to the conception of the author of
the great drama.

Warren's What the
Rebels think OF ID.

New YORK, Dec. 13.-The Richmond Ex-
aminer of the 10th says: We learn that the
force sent by Grant down the Weldon road
consisted OF one entire corps, besides cav
airy, Every man Of them ought to be cap
tured.
The Whig says good many knowing
people are exercised as to the destination of
the raid. If they have no more cavalry
than reported, they will of course soon get
to the end of their journey. On the other
hand, we are inclined to believe that they
are better equipped than reported, and we
will soon hear of the destruction of bridges,
&C., in the direction of Weldon. This, we
are frank to admit, will giveus some incon-
veniencc, but will not relieve in the least
the palpable and lrretricvable failure which
Grant has made in his movement on Rich
mond and Petersburg.
