Army Of thc POtOmRc---NHOre of
Our Picl<ets Captured.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
January 9.-The rebels made another at
tack on our picket line this morning, just
before daylight, and captured few videttes
on the right of the Second Division of the
9Th Corps. The morning was very dark,
and the attacking party approached cau-
tiously, behind an old abatt S, until they
were almost at our line ere our pickets were
aware of their coming The men fired their
pieces and ran back towards the reserve, but
the rebels were so close to them, and being
dressed in our uniforms, could not be dis
tinguished from our men. and consequently
were not fired on, as they otherwise would
have been. The rebels retreated, taking
nine men with them and wounding one of
the 10th New York. The object of the reb-
els seemed to be to obtain food and cloth
ing, as they at once demanded the KNAPP
sacks and blankets of our soldiers, few of
which they got however. Our men go
on picket for "A hours, and only carry one
days rations with them, taking no KNAPP
sacks or blankets. The rebels therefore on
ly succeeded in getting few haversacks
to-day; one of the haversacks was held up
by rebel to show our boys that they had
gained some ofthem. Our boys swearven-
geance against the raiders, and areanXious-
ly waiting for an opportunity to pay them
back double.
On the other part of the line not a gun
has been fired for some days. The weather
has again changed from being very cold to
rain, and the prospect tonight is that we
shall have nothing but mud for week to
come.

Message of Governor Parker, of
New .Berscy.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE Message of
Gov. Parker was read to-day, The State is
out of debt. The State claims for its advances
to the United States balance of $94O,037.
The Governor thinks that there would
be a much better state of feeling if it was
understood that the one million eight hum
dred thousand voters in the loyal States
who expressed their dissent from the policy
of the national Administration, could op-
pose the policy of the Administration and
still be firm friends of the Government and
steadfast supporters and defenders of the
Union. He thinks that the mode of recon-
struction by tithe OF the people in very
small parts of some of the States in rebel
lion, and elections for President of the
United States in them, an act of great in
justice to the loyal States, destroying that
equality of representation in the Electoral
College and Congress which is the fOunda-
tion OF republican Government. This is
argued at length. The Governor says that
it we continue to believe that the
war will not exhaust us in men
and money, we shall not be in frame of
mind to consider the question of peace. He
then proceeds to argue that the war is q
national calamity, bringing in its train in
Vulnerable evils and a crushing weight of
debt. He thinks that the war ought to
cease whenever Che rebels lay down their
arms and return to their allegiance to the
Constitution of the United States. Subiu-
CATION and conquest will lead to endless
war. We should not only seek to over
throw the rebel government, but also con-
ciliate and win back the rebel masses, over
whom it exercises despotic control. The
Governor thinks that the condition of
the rebel army is such as to favor
peace on the basis he suggests. Sud-
den and forcible emancipation, he says,
will produce incalculablc misery. 1t
should be gradual, and with the consent
of the people where it exists, to be bless
ing. Whatever differences of opinion exist
among us, we should all be united on the
determination of maintaining the union Of
the States.

LATER.
Rebel Accounts.

NEW YORK, January 11.-Late rebel
newspapers contain an interesting and de-
tailed account of the late Union raid Of
Generals Stoneman, Burbridge and Gillem.
in East Tennessee and West Virginia, so
damaging to the enemy i'm the destruction
of che salt and lead works, and vast
amount of other property. Though an eff
fort is made to represent the extent OF the
injury as much less than it really is, the
writer cannot avoid acknowledging that it
was very great and derives some consola-
ton from the fact that, as the Yankees have
now done all the harm in that region they
are capable of, some rest for the rebel.
troops may be hoped for.
The rebel Senate, on the 9th inst, adopt
ed resolution of thanks to their Indian
allies of the Cherokee nation.
The Richmond papers are still indulging
in Qualifications over the failure of the ex-
pedtiOn against the Wilmington defenses.
!. hlosby Is said to be still alive and in a
! place of security, and his early recovery is
anticipated.
In the sharp discussion now going on be-
tween the rebel newspapers, in which jeff.
Davis meddling is charged as the cause of
all their recent disasters, some of them,
in his defense, assail General Lee as the
marplot.
The Milledgeville, Georgia, Recorder says
the Georgia Legislature will be re-convened
as soon as the State House can be repaired.
The Alabama Legislature adjourned after
amending the revenue laws, providing for
the support of INDECENT families of soldiers,
clothing for the Alabama soldiers who are
prisoners, and for deficiency in the Treas
ury. The two houses could not agree upon
militia bill, and none was passed. The
Senate was in favor of sweeping bill,
tyhi "a tba inc on rtoi,
tions. Joint resolutions against recon-
struction were passed.
The Sentinel contains an account of a rebel
cavalry expedition into. Southwestern Vir-
ginia, where it says the people generally
are disloyal and the mountain passes are
infested with bushwhackers and swamp
dragons. 1t is very rich grass country,
and abounds with fine fat stock. They Sc
cured 500 head and undoubtedly made the
people still more disloyal.

APositiyc and Interesting Fact


-"Facts are stubborn things" no matter
where found. 1t is positive and at the
same time most interesting fact, that our
sick soldiers, who are so fortunate as to ob-
tain bottle of PINKERToN's WAHoo AND
CALIsAYA BITTERs, gain strength much
faster, and are sooner able to do duty on
the battlefield, than those who are de-
prived of them. This is owing to the stub
born fact that these Bitters are the greatest
renovator and purifier of the blood ever be-
fore offered to the public. This is no idle
talk. No one ever used these Bittcrs but
was highly delighted with the beneficial
results arising from their daily use. We
are glad to learn that steps are being taken
to supply the sick soldiers in our camps
and hospitals with these Btters. 1t is a
humane and benevolent object. Druggists
and wholesale dealers always have these
Bitters for sale. The genuine article has
the name of Jacob Pinkerton blown ON
each bottle.

THE CITY.

TIE LADIES FAIR AT NAUGHToN HALL
Yesterday was the third day of the La
dies Fair for the benefit Of the St. Francis
Hospital. 1t betokened that the Fair will
prove q decided success. During the day
many donations were sent in, some of them
of great value, and all of them suitable for
the occasion.
In the evening the Hall was filled with
visitors. Among them we noticed many
of our prominent citizens. Early in the
evening, over four hundred tickets had been
sold at the ticket Office in the building. A
very large number must have been disposed
of elsewhere.
=. The Band from the Barracks was in at
tendance as usual, and entertained the as
sembly with their fine music. Every de-
partment of the Fair seemed to have lib
eral share of customers. We saw young
persons in groups around the Post-office,
appearing in high glee, as some letter, post
marked from distant locality, was handed
out and read.
But we have not room to particularize,
Suffice 1t to say that the jam, (for such It
literally was) last night at the Hall affords
evidence that our citizens begin to appreci-
ate the labor of love, in which the ladies
have been engaged in getting up this Fair,
and are disposed to encourage them as well
as aid the Sisters Of St. Francis in putting
into successful operation their Hospital in
this city for the destitute sick, and "those
who have none to help them"
