FROM CAPT. LEROY MOORE.

A few days since JAMES MooRE, of Ballville,
received letter from his son LIE RoT MOORE,
of the 72d O. V. V. l., now a priso-
Der, at Camp Sorghum, pear Columbia, s. c.,
dated Dec. 4th, which letter was brought by
one of the parOled prisoners, His accounts of
the sufferings of our men in rebel hands, is con-
firrnatory of all the hard statements which come
from our prisoners confined in rebel stockades.
There were nine of the officers of the I'D there
With him, and all in as good health as they
could be from the treatment they receive. OF

the variousrumors that peace is abOut-to be es-
tablished The self-constitnted mission of Mr..
Blan to Richmond can result in nothing in that
direction. The peace Commissioners that we
believe in, are Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Terry,
Farragut, Porter, &C. The terms on which the
rebels can have peace are simple and easy. All
they have to do is to lay down their arms and
submit to the Constitution aud laws the coun-
ny. This they viii he compelled to do sooner
or later. The signs indicate that the time is
drawing near.

NEW REBEL PORT.

The American Consul at Havana, sends
to Collector Draper curious piece of in
telligence-a report that the rebels are
stalking out the harbor of St Marks, on
the western coast of Florida, IN order to
make it available for blockade runners.
st. Marks is on the st. Marks river, and
is the seaport of Tallahassee, the capital of
Florida, with which it is connected by Il
railroad twenty-six miles long. Vessels
drawing eight feet of water can enter the
harbor. No doubt some of our gunboats,
drawing about that much, will presently
look in at st. Marks,

The Governor-GeneraI of Canada on Rebe

The Candian Parliament is now in session
The Governor-General's speech contained the
ollowing important passage: al have seen MT
to organize a system of detective police on the
frontier, and with the same design have called
out for permanent duty portion of the yolun-
teer force of the provinces. Similar considera-
tions suggest the propriety of arming the exec
utive government with stronger powers than it
now possesses for dealing with persons who,
while availing themselves of theright of asylum
always allowed on British soil TO political refu-
gees, may be unmindful of the implied obliga-
tions which by residence among us they con-
tract, to obey the laws and respect the policy of
the country A bill framed for this purpose
will be laid before the House, and / ask for its
early consideration.

THE AyENGERs OF THE SEAS.

The following from Abbott's Life of Ma
poleon Bonaparte, is curious reminis-
cence
After the Emperor had declared his in
tention OF going to the United States the
Baron Fleury said: "But will the English
allow you to cultivate your fields in peace
You have made England tremble As
long as YOU are alive, or at least at liberty,
she will dread your genius. The Ameri-
cans love and admire you. You have
great influence over them. You might,
perhaps, excite them to enterprises fatal to
England" eWhst enterpriseT ~ replied
the Emperor. ''The English well know
Americans would lose their lives to man
in defence of their native soil But they
are not fond of carrying on foreign war
fare. They are not yet arrived at pitch
to give the English any serious uneasiness.
At some future day, perhaps, they aUN be
the 'avengers of the seas"

MRS. DAVIS EMBRACING MIR. BLAIR.

The Plttsburg ChrOnscte correspondent
says:
An intimate friend of the Blair family
gives the following particulars of Mr..
Blair's reception and treatment while in
Richmond; He spent most of his time in
the houses of private citizens, and was ev-
erywhere received with open arms. He
met great number of his old acquaint-
ances and friends, but purposely avoided
recognizing them. At his interview with
Mrs. Davis she threw her arms around his
neck and shed tears, On entering the IL
brary of the Rebel Chief, he did not at
first recognize him, owingto to his pale looks
and gray hair. Davis was dressed in a
coarse suit Of gray homespun, and looked
more like clerk than the leader of the
great rebellion.

3 The Richmond Examiner of the 18th says
their prices on Saturday, putting their rates
peg higher The advance, they allege, is neces-
STATED by the great great rise in the prices of
-four and provisions in the market. The bill
of fare in saloons that formerly cost $40 now
costs Sl5, and no drinks are TO be had under
S5. Perhaps it is well that the price of living
has come to be defined at last. The thermom-
eter can go no higher than 80; the currency
may go to zero, but the charge cannot &C above
blood heat. This may as well be understood

THE REBELS MAKE A sPLURGE.

On Tuesday morning last, at2o'clock, reb-
Ell feet of five vessels from the Richmond
squadron, came down the James river to de-
stroy our depOts and works at City Point. A
battle quickly ensued between the rebel fleet
and our nearest fort, in which one of the rebel
vessels was blown up instantly, and entirely
destroyed, while two others were SO badly dam-
aged by shot and shell, as to compel them, ac-
companied by the other two to skedaddle back
in the direction of Richmond with all speed.

IMPORTANT ARMY MOVEMENTS

" The victorious army of General Sherman is
in motion, and we have intelligence that the
18th corps and portion of the 18th advanced
from Beaufort and carried the rebel works at
Pocotaligo Bridge, destroying the important
Charleston and Savannah Railroad for some
distance above and below the bridge The
bridge was defended by two earthworks, one
mounting seven and the other five heavy guns.
The bridge is located about midway between
the two Cities and with the trestle work is
mile long. Our loss was iorty killed and wound
ed.
The left wing of Shermans army has also
moved from Savannah, the rebels say for Char
lesion or Brenchville The main forces of the
rebels are reported to be at Ashepoo, point on
the railroad, thirty miles south of Charleston
They also have a force at Brenchvile. General
Sherman is on his way through the Carolinas,
and startling dispatches may soon be looked for.
The corps under General Schofeld, and the
force under General Meagher, from the Army of
General Thomas, are on the way from Tennessee
to join General Sherman. General Thomas re-
mains on the Tennessee river to keep Hood on
his good behavior These army movements
have been made public by the eastern and west
ern press, and we therefore allude to them.
