HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroNAC, Dec.
10.-The demonstration made yesterday toward
Hatcher's Run by division OF the Cd corps
and some cavalry did not result In bringing on
an engagement. With the exception OF the
sklrmish at the crossing on the Vaughn road,
and another In the afternoon, near the Arm
strong House, no fighting OF consequence took
place, the rebels falling back as our troops ad-
yanced.
The object OF the move was evidently to keep
them from sending force 10 intercept Warren,
and is believed to have been successful. Our
loss in the affair amounted to about one hun
dred and twenty. fve In killed and wounded.
At two O'Clock this afternoon the command
were ordered TO return, and tonight the troops
are back In their old camps.
Nothing positive has yet been heard from
Warren.
Rumor has II that he had q fight at Jarrett's
station, on the Weldon road, In which he
gained victory and was pursuing the enemy.
The troops suffered much last night from the
change Of weather. Yesterday afternoon se-
we're storm Of hail, rain and snow set In, freez-
ing keenly. This morning the entire country
was covered with a shee. Of Ice and the air
still quite cold.
Tonight 1t Is raining, and the roads are In a
very bad condition.

Sherman's Progress.

There is a report in New York to-day that
sherman's army has reached the coast. There
Is not the slightest doubt that Gen. Sherman
has arrived at some point on the coast ere this,
but there is considerable doubt whether any
body In New York has reliable intelligence to
that effect.
The Richmond Dipateh Of Saturday last
states that on the 7th instant, Sherman was
within twenty five miles of Savannah, moving
towards the city.
Ifhe was forty.ave miles from Savannah on
the 9Th, as stated by the Eraminer Of the 9th,
copied elsewhere, he could not have been
within twenty-five miles on the 7th, as now
announced by the Dispatch! Nothing but a
retrograde movement could produce such q
peculiar situation.

THE LONDON MORNING STAR UPoN
THE RE-ELECTION OF PREsIDENT
LINCOLN.

The London Morning Star says Of the re-
| election OF Mr.. Lincoln;
ave hail the result, mainly because II Ia q
triumph OF the anti slavery principles which
the English people have long protested, and
which have now been proclaimed by popular
vote to be the only principles upon which the
Government OF the United States can be con-
Quoted.
"Mr. Lincoln has been elected by
q party which declares that slavery shall be ex-
tirpated, and they have returned TO Congress
the requisite two.thlrds majority 10 carry the
proposed amendment Of the Constitution. pro-
hibiting slavery forever on the soil of the United
States. The war must now continue, as II
would have done under the Presidency Of
Mcclellan, but for higher and nobler purposes.
Il is for no mere perpetuation or restoration Of
the Union, with all the enormities Of slave
breeding, slave.tradipg and slave labor, which
formerly shocked humanity. The rebellion
will doubtless be subdued, and In place Of FIRE
and sword which usually follow in the track
of conquest, the South will gain the blessings
Of free labor. the crack OF the slave-driver's
whip will cease throughout the land, and under
the benign influence OF completed emancipa-
tlon the southern people will reap prosperity
OF which they had scarcely dared TO dream.
"Eyen for results so conspicuously great as
these the Northern freemen would not have
been justified In drawing the sword II. en- ag-
greSeive war; but since the south chose the
weapon and the combat, and soughtto trample
under foot alike the constitutional rights and
to destroy the most cherished privileges of the
people OF the North, they would have been
false to themselves and hu nanity had they not
resolved TO smite slavery-that master spirit Of
civil discord and social wrong-to the earth,
so that the Republic might never more be sub
ject to Its malignant influence.
"Mr. Lincoln has undoubtedly deserved well
OF his country. Few men could have grasped
the hahn with so firm q grasp during a civil
conflict so appalling as that which now RACES.
He is, It Is true, neither distinguished by be-
reditary descent nor by personal accomplish
ments. He was bargeman and day laborer,
and slowly rose To be provincial lawyer by
dlnt of those qualities Of perseverance and
clearness Of intellect which have been conspic
uously displayed during the last four years.
He has been caricatured In this country by pen
and pencil, In style rejecting disgrace enough
upon the caricatures, but which has failed to
shake the popular belief In the thorough hon.
esty OF his character, the sincerity Of his love
of freedom, end the humanity of his dispo-
stion.
His policy towards this country has been
Characterized by the utmost fraukness and the
strongest desire for peace, and no statesman
worthy Of conducting the affairs Of this coun-
try but must be convinced that our best allies
on the American continent are men protesting
the principles which Abraham Lincoln avows,
and in consonance with which he has hitherto
directed the foreign policy Of the Republic"

TURE-HE Is IN FAVOR OF MAKING

sageis thatwhich relates to the armiug ofslayes
Smith takes the Affirmative Of this question, de-
cidedly. He says that majority Of the inf u.
sntlal citizens Of the South are agreed that the
slaves must be armed, II nothing else can save
them from subjugacion by the Federal Govern.
ment, and the only question is whether the
time has come. He intimates plainly that II
has. He says that the North was superior To
them In population at the beginning of the
war; that We have armed their slaves against
them, and that we are recruiting from all tn,
countries Of Europe, while the South has nc
increase Of white population and no resource,
TO supply men to her armies except in hel
kAyes.
b He says;
l will not say that, under the Providence o
God, We may not be able TO triumph, but d.
say that we should not, from any mawkisl
sensibility, refuse any means within our reacl
which tend TO toork out our dslipodnes. Fo
