NHw Yonk, Jan. 2l.-A party Of rebel
cavalry made their apPsarance IN front Of
the Union outpost pickets near Nswbern,
u. G., on the night Of the 14th inst.
During their stay some Of them deserted
to the Union lines, and on the discovery Of
this the remainder fell back and were pur.
sued to near Kingston BY . detachment of
the 18th New York Cavalry.
Rebel desetters are constantly coming d
ct Newbern. 80
The Union steamer Mystic, while recent
" attempting to land some passenger ct
Washington, N. c., which for some time
had been considered neutral ground, was
fred upon, and Col. McChesncy and anoth-
Or gentleman were slightly wounded.
The Richmond Examiner of the goth says:
The reticence by the Rebel War Depart.
ment concerning the current events in the
South, indicate the fact, that important
movements are in progress.
If Wilmington falls there will be no panic,
though much sorrow for the inhabitants.
The idea is, that there il an immense amount
Of cotton stored there, 10 an attractive inilu-
encc, to say nothing Of that port - base,
which is now alluring the invaders towards
it. There is combination in the matter,
which involves Charleston Is well, and Sher.
man il also on foot in the matter.
II these places fall it win be after the ex-
hibition Of much strategy, for Sherman 10
always At it, and we hope our army is also.
Sherman's feints are in fact realities, for
while aiming ct various places, to take oil,
and it matters not with him which he takes
first.
The Richmond Sentinel says, the Senate
resolution creating the Office Of Commander
n-Chief has been censursed in by the House,
recommending the reinstatement of Gen.
Joe Johnston.
The Worlds Savannah correspondent
saws:
The Rebels are expecting an advance on
Charleston and are making preparations to
evacuate that city, and have already COM
menced removing Government property.

NO TINE LIKE THE OLD TINE.

There is no time like the old time when you
and I were young,
Wien the buds Of April blossomcd, and the
birds Of spring time sung
The gardens brightest glories by summer
suns arc nurScd,
But, oh, the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers
that open first!
There is no place like the old place where you
and were born,
Where we lifted first our cye-lids on the
splcndors of the morn,
From the milk-whito breast that warmed as,
from the clinSing arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistened DER US that
will look on us no more
There is no friend like the old friend who has
shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome. no homage like
his praise;
Fame is tho sccntless sunhower, with gaudy
crown Of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose, with
sweets in every fold.
There is no love like the old love that we
courted in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling, and
we're fading side by side,
There arc-blossoms all around US with the
colors of our dawn, ......
And wc live In borrowed sunshine when the
light Of day is gono.
Thore arc no times like the old times they

There arc no friends like our old friends,-

There arc no loves like our old loyes,-God

icalities, he kept bis audience in contin-

versutiou was, for the most part, hu.
morOus but caus,ic TRADE against the
democratic party, which, he said, was
chargcable with lltho calamities Of the
past four years. Democracy had killed
those nephews of his who fell fighting
for the confederacy. Democracy had
dragged him through thirty two battles
and got him ridicu!Ously whipped at the
end Of EN- !; democracy had reduced tho
southern people to coru,fecd for tho last
three years democracy had piled up a
national debt on the South that had oil
been well, call il paid, gentlemen.
But the Yankee debt, the United States
debt, our debt, if:Joul will have il So
